PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
You should read the following summary together with the more detailed
information regarding our company and the common stock being sold in this
offering and our financial statements and notes to those statements appearing
elsewhere in this prospectus.
Fogdog Sports
We are a leading online retailer of sporting goods. We have designed
fogdog.com, our online store, to offer extensive product selection, detailed
product information and a personalized shopping experience. We believe that we
offer the largest selection of sporting goods online, with up to 60,000
distinct stock keeping units representing more than 500 brands in all major
sports categories. Fogdog.com features a collection of specialty shops,
including soccer, baseball, golf, outdoors, fan/memorabilia and other popular
categories, organized to appeal to a broad base of customers from the avid
enthusiast to the occasional participant. We provide information and analysis
authored by experts, helpful shopping services and innovative merchandising.
According to Media Metrix, Inc., our web site received more visits during July
1999 than any other online sporting goods retailer focusing exclusively on
sporting goods.
We believe that the sporting goods industry is large and growing and that
sporting goods are increasingly being purchased online. According to the Sports
Business Research Network, total U.S. retail sales of sporting goods were
approximately $77 billion in 1998 and have grown at a 6.8% compound annual rate
since 1994. Forrester Research projects that U.S. consumers will purchase $4.2
billion of sporting goods online in 2004. We believe that the sporting goods
industry will continue to benefit from the growth in participation and interest
in sports, recreation, health, fitness and outdoor activities. We believe the
sporting goods industry is fragmented and fails to satisfy fully the needs of
consumers and manufacturers.
Our online store is designed to address the limitations of the traditional
sporting goods retail channel for consumers and manufacturers. Most of our
products, representing 30 different sports, are featured in nine specialty
shops and four brand concept shops. In addition to offering a wide selection of
products, our web site provides a superior online shopping experience by
emphasizing the following:
. Specialty Shops Featuring Extensive Product Selection. We offer a broad
range of product lines in a wide variety of sports in order to make
fogdog.com a "one-stop-shop." Our specialty shops also feature useful,
compelling information and expert advice to help customers make the
right product selection to meet their sports performance objectives.
. Value-Added Shopping Services. We offer helpful services to assist our
customers with their purchasing decisions, including:
- Detailed product information, guides, configurators and comparison
charts;
- Brand concept shops;
- Advice and product recommendations by recognized sports experts;
- Consumer reviews; and
- Personalized shopping.
. Convenient Shopping Experience. Our online store provides customers with
an easy-to-use web site that is available 24 hours a day, seven days a
week.
. Commitment to Excellent Customer Service. We emphasize customer service
during all phases of the customer's online shopping experience and hire
sports consultants with a broad knowledge of athletics, sports products
and training to assist customers in their purchasing decisions.
4
<PAGE>
. Network of Fulfillment Partners. We have developed and implemented a
fulfillment system that utilizes third-party warehouses, distributors
and direct shipping from select manufacturers to support secure and
reliable online retailing.
The Fogdog Sports vision is to reinvent the sporting goods retail industry
by providing customers with a new value proposition of selection, information
and service. Our goal is to be the world's leading sporting goods retailer. We
intend to achieve this goal by:
. Building Brand Recognition. We intend to establish the Fogdog brand as
the first global brand for retail sporting goods and in the process
build consumer trust, confidence and loyalty.
. Promoting Repeat Purchases. We are focused on promoting customer
loyalty and building relationships with our customers to drive repeat
sales.
. Expanding Specialty Shops. We intend to add five to ten specialty shops
organized by sport or brand within the next 12 months.
. Maximizing Product Selection and Fulfillment Capabilities. We intend to
expand our fulfillment network, extend our brand relationships and
augment our technology and expertise so that we can sell and deliver
the broadest possible array of top branded products to our customers.
. Enhancing and Forming Strategic Relationships. We have strategic
relationships with Nike USA, America Online and Keystone Fulfillment
that we believe provide us with competitive advantages in
merchandising, marketing and distributing our products. We intend to
pursue additional strategic relationships to further develop our
business.
. Expanding Internationally. We intend to replicate our business model
and build our brand name in selected international markets with
appropriate demographics and market characteristics.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below
and the other information in this prospectus before deciding whether to invest
in shares of our common stock. The occurrence of any of the following risks
could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and
operating results. In this case, the trading price of our common stock could
decline and you may lose part or all of your investment.
Investing in our common stock may expose you
to the following risks inherent in our business
We expect significant increases in our operating expenses and continuing
losses.
We incurred a net loss of $12.4 million for the period from inception
through June 30, 1999. We have not achieved profitability. We only began
selling products under our current business model in November 1998. We may not
obtain enough customer traffic or a high enough volume of purchases to generate
sufficient revenues and achieve profitability. We believe that we will continue
to incur operating and net losses for the next several years, and that the rate
at which we will incur losses will increase significantly from current levels.
We intend to increase our operating expenses substantially as we:
. increase our sales and marketing activities, particularly advertising
efforts;
. provide our customers with promotional benefits, such as selling
selected products or offering shipping below our actual costs;
. increase our general and administrative functions to support our growing
operations;
. expand our customer support and sports consultant staffs to better serve
customer needs;
. develop enhanced technologies and features to improve our web site;
. enhance our distribution and order fulfillment capabilities; and
. expand third-party distribution facilities or possibly buy or build our
own.
Because we will spend these amounts before we receive any revenues from
these efforts, our losses will be greater than the losses we would incur if we
developed our business more slowly. In addition, we may find that these efforts
are more expensive than we currently anticipate, which would further increase
our losses. Also, the timing of these expenses may contribute to fluctuations
in our quarterly operating results.
Our limited operating history makes forecasting difficult. Because most of our
expenses are based on planned operating results, failure to accurately forecast
revenues could cause net losses in a given quarter to be greater than expected.
As a result of our limited operating history, it is difficult to accurately
forecast our revenues and we have limited meaningful historical financial data
upon which to base planned operating expenses. We were incorporated in October
1994. We started as a web site design company and derived most of our revenues
from the sale of web development services until August 1998, when we stopped
selling those services. We began selling products on our web site only in
November 1998. Our results since that time will not be comparable to our prior
results. We base our current and future expense levels on our operating plans,
expected traffic and purchases from our web site and estimates of future
revenues, and our significant expenses are to a large extent fixed in the short
term. Our sales and operating results are difficult to forecast because they
generally depend on the volume and timing of the orders we receive. As a
result, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to
compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. This inability could cause our
net loss in a given quarter to be greater than expected.
8
<PAGE>
Our operating results are volatile and difficult to predict. If we fail to meet
the expectations of public market analysts and investors, the market price of
our common stock may decline significantly.
Our annual and quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and
may fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of
which are outside of our control. Because our operating results are volatile
and difficult to predict, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our
operating results are not a good indication of our future performance. It is
likely that in some future quarter our operating results may fall below the
expectations of securities analysts and investors. In this event, the trading
price of our common stock may decline significantly. Factors that may harm our
business or cause our operating results to fluctuate include the following:
. our inability to obtain new customers at a reasonable cost, retain
existing customers, or encourage repeat purchases;
. decreases in the number of visitors to our web site or our inability to
convert visitors to our web site into customers;
. the mix of sporting goods, apparel, footwear and other products sold by
us;
. our inability to manage inventory levels;
. our inability to adequately maintain, upgrade and develop our web site,
the systems that we use to process customers' orders and payments or our
computer network;
. the ability of our competitors to offer new or enhanced web sites,
services or products;
. price competition;
. fluctuations in the demand for sporting goods associated with sports
events, movies, television and other entertainment events;
. fluctuations in the amount of consumer spending on sporting goods and
related products, which tend to be discretionary spending items;
. the termination of existing marketing relationships with key business
partners or failure to develop new ones;
. increases in the cost of online or offline advertising;
. the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures
relating to expansion of our operations;
. unexpected increases in shipping costs or delivery times, particularly
during the holiday season; and
. technical difficulties, system downtime or Internet slowdowns.
A number of factors will cause our gross margins to fluctuate in future
periods, including the mix of products sold by us, inventory management,
inbound and outbound shipping and handling costs, the level of product returns
and the level of discount pricing and promotional coupon usage. Any change in
one or more of these factors could reduce our gross margins in future periods.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Quarterly Results of Operations."
Seasonal fluctuations in the sales of sporting goods could cause wide
fluctuations in our quarterly results.
We have experienced and expect to continue to experience seasonal
fluctuations in our revenues. These seasonal patterns will cause quarterly
fluctuations in our operating results. In particular, we expect that the fourth
calendar quarter will account for a large percentage of our total annual sales.
In anticipation of increased sales activity during the fourth calendar quarter,
we may hire a significant number of temporary employees to bolster our
permanent staff and we intend to significantly increase our inventory levels.
For this reason, if our
9
<PAGE>
revenues were below seasonal expectations during this quarter, our annual
operating results could be below the expectations of securities analysts and
investors. In the future, our seasonal sales patterns may become more
pronounced, may strain our personnel, product distribution and shipment
activities and may cause a shortfall in revenues as compared to expenses in a
given period. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations."
We have been unable to fund our operations with the cash generated from our
business. If we do not generate cash sufficient to fund our operations, we may
need additional financing to continue our growth or our growth may be limited.
To date, we have funded our operations from the sale of equity securities
and have not generated sufficient cash from operations. Cash from revenues must
increase significantly for us to fund anticipated operating expenses
internally. If our cash flows are insufficient to fund these expenses, we may
need to fund our growth through additional debt or equity financings or reduce
costs. Further, we may not be able to obtain financing on satisfactory terms.
Our inability to finance our growth, either internally or externally, may limit
our growth potential and our ability to execute our business strategy. If we
issue securities to raise capital, our existing stockholders may experience
additional dilution or the new securities may have rights senior to those of
our common stock.
We must maintain relationships with our distributors and manufacturers to
obtain sufficient quantities of quality merchandise on acceptable commercial
terms. If we fail to maintain our relationships with those parties on
acceptable terms, our sales and profitability could suffer.
Because we rely primarily on product manufacturers and third-party
distributors to stock the products we offer, our business would be seriously
harmed if we were unable to develop and maintain relationships with suppliers
that allow us to obtain sufficient quantities of quality merchandise on
acceptable terms. Our product orders are fulfilled by more than 15 distributors
and manufacturers. However, our contracts or arrangements with these parties do
not guarantee the availability of merchandise, establish guaranteed prices or
provide for the continuation of particular pricing practices. In addition, we
do not have a written contract with several of our major suppliers. Although we
have alternative sources of supply for a small percentage of the products we
offer, we may have difficulty establishing alternative sources for many of our
products. Our current suppliers may not continue to sell products to us on
current terms or at all, and we may not be able to establish new supply
relationships to ensure delivery of merchandise in a timely and efficient
manner or on terms acceptable to us. In addition, our supply contracts
typically do not restrict a supplier from selling products to other retailers,
which could limit our ability to supply the quantity of merchandise requested
by our customers. If we cannot supply our products to consumers at acceptable
prices, we may lose sales and market share as consumers make purchases
elsewhere. Further, an increase in supply costs could cause our operating
losses to increase beyond current expectations.
If we are unable to establish and maintain relationships with key brand
manufacturers, our sales will decrease.
If we are unable to establish and maintain relationships with important
brand manufacturers, we may be unable to obtain sufficient quantities of
popular products and in-depth product information. This could result in lower
sales. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, we derived approximately 17% of
our net revenues from sales of our two top selling brands, adidas and Nike. We
recently entered into an agreement with Nike that will give us access to Nike's
generally available product lines and product information, as well as advance
availability of selected, newly released Nike products. However, this agreement
has a term of only two years and is subject to earlier termination if we breach
the agreement. Moreover, Nike is not legally obligated to sell us any quantity
of product or deliver on any particular schedule. Also, our purchases from
Nike's online affiliate are subject to similar limitations. If our relationship
with Nike deteriorates, our business and reputation could be seriously harmed.
10
<PAGE>
We have experienced difficulty in obtaining sufficient product allocations
from some of our key vendors. In addition, Nike and some of our other key
vendors have established, and may continue to expand, their own online
retailing efforts, which may impair our ability to acquire sufficient product
allocations from these vendors. In connection with this expansion, or a
decision by manufacturers not to offer products online or through our web site,
manufacturers have asked us and may again ask us to remove their products from
our web site.
We depend on third parties to fulfill all of our customer orders, and any
problems with these parties could impair our operating results and harm our
reputation.
Currently, we rely primarily on third-party distributors and product
manufacturers to fulfill our customers' orders. These fulfillment partners are
responsible for packaging products and arranging for them to be shipped to our
customers. We may be unable to ensure that our fulfillment partners fill our
customers' orders accurately and that orders are shipped promptly and in
appropriate packaging. In addition, we have no written contracts with some of
these fulfillment partners, and our contracts with the others are generally
terminable upon short notice. If any of our existing fulfillment arrangements
were to be terminated, our business could be disrupted and we could incur
significant costs in attempting to make alternative arrangements. Our
distribution network is also heavily dependent upon third-party carriers,
primarily United Parcel Service, for product shipments. UPS accounted for
approximately 90% of our customer shipments by units in the six months ended
June 30, 1999. We are therefore subject to the risk that labor shortages,
strikes, inclement weather or other factors may limit the ability of UPS and
other carriers to meet our shipping needs. Our shippers' failure to deliver
products to our customers in a timely manner would damage our brand and
adversely affect our operating results. If UPS or our other existing shippers
are unable or unwilling to deliver our products to our customers, we would need
to arrange for alternative carriers. We may be unable to engage an alternative
carrier on a timely basis or upon terms favorable to us. Changing carriers
would likely disrupt our business.
If we fail to expand our fulfillment operations successfully, sales could fall
below expectations and we could incur unexpected costs.
We must be able to fill customer orders quickly and efficiently. If we do
not expand our fulfillment operations and systems to accommodate increases in
demand, particularly during the peak holiday selling season, we will not be
able to increase our net sales in accordance with the expectations of
securities analysts and investors. We intend to add to the capacity of our
distribution network by entering into agreements with additional fulfillment
partners. It may be difficult for us to assimilate new partners into our
distribution system in time for the 1999 holiday season or at all. We may be
unable to secure these additional partners or integrate their systems and
technologies into ours. If we fail to do so, we may lose sales and our
reputation for prompt delivery and customer service would suffer. Even if we
are successful in expanding our distribution network, our planned expansion may
cause disruptions in our business and our fulfillment operations may be
inadequate to accommodate increases in customer demand.
High merchandise returns could adversely affect our financial condition and
results of operations.
We allow our customers to return products within 45 days for a full refund.
We make allowances in our financial statements for anticipated merchandise
returns based on historical return rates. However, actual returns may exceed
our allowances. If merchandise returns increase significantly or exceed our
allowances, our financial condition and results of operations could be
adversely affected.
We plan to expand our inventory levels, and we may have to write down the value
of our inventory if consumer demand changes after we order products.
Although we currently rely primarily on our distributors and brand name
suppliers to carry the inventory available for purchase on our site, we
anticipate that we will carry an increasing amount of inventory and that
11
<PAGE>
the percentage of sales made from our own inventory will rise. As a result, it
will be critical to our success that we accurately predict the rapidly changing
trends in consumer preferences for sporting goods, and do not overstock
unpopular products. Predicting these trends is difficult. If demand for one or
more of our products falls short of our expectations, we may be required to
take significant inventory markdowns, which could reduce our net sales and
gross margins. This risk may be greatest in the first calendar quarter of each
year, after we have significantly increased inventory levels for the holiday
season. In addition, to the extent that demand for our products increases over
time, we may be forced to increase inventory levels. Any increase would subject
us to additional inventory risks.
We rely substantially on our relationships with America Online and other online
services, search engines and directories to drive traffic to our web site. If
these relationships do not continue, it will be difficult for us to increase
market share and achieve profitability.
We have relationships with America Online, Inc. and other online services,
search engines and directories to provide content and advertising banners that
link to our web site. We rely on these relationships as significant sources of
traffic to our web site and, therefore, new customers. However, these
relationships are generally terminable on short notice, and they may not be
available to us in the future on acceptable terms. If we are unable to maintain
satisfactory relationships with high-traffic web sites on acceptable terms, our
ability to attract new customers and enhance our brand could be harmed.
Further, many of the web sites with which we have existing or potential online
advertising arrangements may also provide advertising services for other
marketers of sporting goods. As a result, these sites may be reluctant to enter
into or maintain relationships with us. Our online advertising efforts may
require costly, long-term commitments. We may not achieve sufficient online
traffic or product purchases to realize sufficient sales to compensate for our
significant obligations to these sites. Failure to achieve sufficient traffic
or generate sufficient revenue from purchases originating from third-party web
sites would likely reduce our profit margins and may result in termination of
these types of relationships. Without these relationships, it is unlikely that
we can sufficiently increase market share and achieve profitability.
Because a key element of our strategy is to generate a high volume of traffic
on our web site, our business could be harmed by capacity constraints.
A key element of our strategy is to generate a high volume of traffic on,
and use of, our web site, www.fogdog.com. Accordingly, the satisfactory
performance, reliability and availability of our web site, transaction-
processing systems and network infrastructure are critical to our reputation
and our ability to attract and retain customers and maintain adequate customer
service levels. Our revenue depends upon the number of visitors who shop on our
web site and the volume of orders that we can fulfill. Any system interruptions
that result in the unavailability of our web site or reduced order fulfillment
would reduce the volume of goods that we sell and the attractiveness of our
product offerings. We have experienced periodic system interruptions in the
past, and we believe that system interruptions may continue to occur in the
future. Any substantial increase in the volume of traffic on our web site or
the number of orders placed by customers will require that we expand and
upgrade our technology, transaction-processing systems and network
infrastructure. We may not be able to accurately project the rate or timing of
increases, if any, in the use of our web site or timely expand and upgrade our
technology, transaction-processing systems and network infrastructure. We may
not be able to accurately project the rate or timing of increases, if any, in
the use of our web site or timely expand and upgrade our systems and
infrastructure to accommodate these increases.
Our vital computer and communications hardware and software systems are
vulnerable to damage and interruption which could harm our business.
Our success, in particular our ability to successfully receive and fulfill
orders and provide high-quality customer service, largely depends upon the
efficient and uninterrupted operation of our computer and communications
hardware and software systems. We use internally developed systems for our web
site and
12
<PAGE>
some aspects of transaction processing, including customer profiling and order
verifications. Our systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or
interruption from:
. earthquake, fire, flood and other natural disasters;
. power loss, computer systems failures, Internet and telecommunications
or data network failure, operator negligence, improper operation by or
supervision of employees, physical and electronic loss of data or
security breaches, misappropriation and similar events; and
. computer viruses.
In addition, we maintain our servers at the site of a third party, Exodus
Communications, Inc., in Mountain View, California. We cannot control the
maintenance and operation of this site, which is also susceptible to similar
disasters and problems. We have no formal disaster recovery plan, and our
insurance policies may not adequately compensate us for any losses that we may
incur. Any system failure that causes an interruption in our service or a
decrease in responsiveness could harm our relationships with our customers and
result in reduced revenues. See "Business--Technology."
Establishing the Fogdog brand quickly and cost-effectively is central to our
success. If we do not establish the Fogdog brand quickly, we may not capture
sufficient market share or increase revenues enough to achieve profitability.
We believe that we must establish, maintain and enhance the Fogdog brand to
attract more customers to our web site and to generate revenues from product
sales. Brand recognition and customer loyalty will become increasingly
important as more companies with well-established brands in online services or
the sporting goods industry offer competing services on the Internet. For
example, existing sporting goods retailers with established brand names may
establish an online presence that competes with our web site and existing
online providers with better name recognition than Fogdog Sports may begin
selling sporting goods. Establishing the Fogdog brand as a widely recognized
and trusted source of sporting goods will depend largely on our success in
providing a high-quality online experience supported by a high level of
customer service, which cannot be assured. We expect that we will need to
increase substantially our spending on programs designed to create and maintain
strong brand loyalty among customers and we cannot be certain that our efforts
will be successful.
Our inability to secure and protect our Internet domain name may adversely
affect our business operation.
The www.fogdog.com Internet domain name is our brand on the Internet. If we
are unable to adequately protect our Internet domain name, our trademarks and
other intellectual property rights, or must incur costs in doing so, it could
harm our business. The acquisition and maintenance of Internet domain names
generally is regulated by governmental agencies and their designees. Until
recently, Network Solutions, Inc. was the exclusive registrar for the ".com,"
".net" and ".org" generic top-level Internet domains in the U.S. In April 1999,
however, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN, a
new global non-profit corporation formed to oversee a set of the Internet's
core technical management functions, opened the market for registering Internet
domain names to an initial group of five companies. Network Solutions, Inc.
still maintains the registry containing all the registrations in the generic
top-level Internet domains. The market for registering these Internet domain
names in the U.S. and in foreign countries is expected to undergo further
changes in the near future. We expect the requirements for registering Internet
domain names also to be affected. The relationship between regulations
governing Internet domain names and laws protecting trademarks and similar
proprietary rights is unclear. We may be unable to prevent third parties from
acquiring Internet domain names that are similar to, infringe upon or otherwise
decrease the value of our Internet domain name, our trademarks and other
intellectual property rights used by us and we may need to protect our rights
through litigation.

We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future
competitors, which could harm our margins and our business.
The online commerce market is new, rapidly evolving and intensely
competitive. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions,
reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could seriously
harm our net sales and results of operations. We expect competition to
intensify in the future because current and new competitors can enter our
market with little difficulty and can launch new web sites at a relatively low
cost.
In addition, the development of new technologies and the expansion of
existing technologies, such as price comparison programs that select specific
products from a variety of web sites, may increase competitive pressures on us.
We currently or potentially compete with a variety of other companies,
including:
. traditional, store-based, national chain sporting goods retailers such
as the Venator Group (Footlocker brands and Champs;
. traditional, store-based, national chain outdoor equipment retailers,
such as REI;
. traditional, store-based, national chain athletic footwear retailers,
such as Just for Feet;
. traditional, store-based, regional chain sporting goods retailers such
as The Sports Authority, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Galyan's;
. major discount retailers, such as Wal-Mart, Kmart and Target;
. catalog sporting goods retailers, such as Eastbay, TSI and Edwin Watts;
. numerous traditional local sporting goods and outdoor activity stores;
. online efforts of these traditional retailers, including the online
stores operated by Dick's Sporting Goods, Copeland's and REI;
. vendors of sporting goods that currently sell some of their products
directly online, such as K-Swiss and Patagonia;
. Global Sports Interactive, a newly formed online joint venture
established by a number of major, store-based retailers;
. Internet portals and online service providers that feature shopping
services, such as AOL, Excite@Home, GO Network and Lycos;
. other online retailers that include sporting goods as part of their
product offerings, such as Onsale and Buy.com;
. physical and online stores of entertainment entities that sell sporting
goods and fan memorabilia, such as ESPN.com and CBS Sportsline; and
. retailers selling sporting goods exclusively online.
There are no assurances that we will be able to be competitive against
current or potential competitors. Many of our traditional store-based and
online competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer or user
bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial,
marketing, technical and other resources than we do. Many of these competitors
have well established relationships with manufacturers, more extensive
knowledge about our industry and can devote substantially more resources to web
site development and advertising. In addition, new competitors may emerge in
the future and larger, well-established and well-financed entities may join
with online competitors or sporting goods suppliers as the use of the Internet
and other online services increases.
Our competitors may be able to secure products from vendors on more
favorable terms, fulfill customer orders more efficiently and adopt more
aggressive pricing or inventory availability policies than we can.
14
<PAGE>
Furthermore, our competitors may be able to secure a broader range of products
from or otherwise develop close relationships with primary vendors. Some
competitors may price their products below cost in an attempt to gain market
share. Traditional store-based retailers also enable customers to see and feel
products in a manner that is not possible over the Internet. See "Business--
Competition."
We may be unable to hire and retain the skilled personnel necessary to develop
our business.
We intend to hire a significant number of additional marketing, engineering,
merchandising and retailing personnel in 1999 and beyond. Competition for these
individuals is intense, and we may not be able to attract, assimilate or retain
highly qualified personnel in the future. Our business cannot continue to grow
if we cannot attract qualified personnel. Our failure to attract and retain the
highly trained personnel that are integral to our business may limit our growth
rate, which would harm our business. We expect to face greater difficulty
attracting these personnel with equity incentives as a public company than we
did as a privately held company. See "Business--Employees."
We are dependent upon our chief executive officer for our future success and
our managers are not obligated to stay with us.
Our future success depends to a significant degree on the skills, experience
and efforts of Timothy Harrington, our Chief Executive Officer, and other key
personnel. The loss of the services of any of these individuals could harm our
business and operations. In addition, we have not obtained key person life
insurance on any of our key employees. If any of our key employees left or was
seriously injured and unable to work and we were unable to find a qualified
replacement, our business could be harmed.
We have experienced significant growth in our business in recent periods and
any inability to manage this growth and any future growth could harm our
business.
Our historical growth has placed, and any further growth is likely to
continue to place, a significant strain on our management, administrative
resources, software and systems. Any failure to manage growth effectively could
seriously harm our business. We have grown from 22 employees on June 30, 1998
to 70 employees on June 30, 1999. We have also recently moved into a new
headquarters building and significantly expanded our operations. To be
successful, we will need to continue to implement management information
systems and improve our operating, administrative, financial and accounting
systems and controls. We will also need to train new employees and maintain
close coordination among our executive, accounting, finance, marketing, sales
and operations organizations. These processes are time consuming and expensive,
will increase management responsibilities and will divert management attention.
If the protection of our trademarks and proprietary rights is inadequate, our
brand and reputation could be damaged and we could lose customers.
The steps we take to protect our proprietary rights may be inadequate. We
regard our copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trade dress, trade secrets
and similar intellectual property as critical to our success. We rely on
trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality or
license agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to
protect our proprietary rights. Despite these precautions, it may be possible
for a third-party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our intellectual property
without our authorization. We have applied to register the trademark Fogdog in
the United States and internationally. Effective trademark, service mark,
copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in
which we will sell our products and services online. If we become involved in
litigation to defend our intellectual property rights, we may have to spend
significant amounts of money, and the litigation could divert our management's
time and efforts.
15
<PAGE>
We may be subject to intellectual property claims that could be costly and
could disrupt our business.
Third parties have in the past and may in the future assert that our
business or technologies infringe their intellectual property rights or rights
to publicity or that we engage in unfair competition or other illegal trade
practices. These claims may increase in the future. We may be unsuccessful in
defending against any such claim, which could result in substantial damages,
fines or other penalties. The resolution of a claim could also require us to
change how we do business, redesign our web site and other systems, or enter
into burdensome royalty or licensing agreements. These license or royalty
agreements, if required, may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all,
in the event of a successful claim of infringement. Our insurance coverage may
not be adequate to cover every claim that could be asserted against us. Even
unsuccessful claims could result in significant legal fees and other expenses,
diversion of management's time and disruptions in our business. Any such claim
could also harm our reputation and brand.
We intend to expand our business internationally, causing our business to
become increasingly susceptible to numerous international business risks and
challenges that could affect our profitability.
We believe that the current globalization of the economy requires businesses
to pursue or consider pursuing international expansion. We have expanded into
international markets by opening an office in London. Revenue from merchandise
shipped outside the United States was approximately 10% of total merchandise
revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1999, and we expect to increase our
international sales efforts. International sales are subject to inherent risks
and challenges that could affect our profitability, including:
. the need to develop new supplier and manufacturer relationships,
particularly because major sporting goods manufacturers may require that
our international operations deal with local distributors;
. unexpected changes in international regulatory requirements and tariffs;
. difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;
. longer payment cycles from credit card companies;
. greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection;
. potential adverse tax consequences;
. price controls or other restrictions on foreign currency; and
. difficulties in obtaining export and import licenses.
To the extent we generate international sales in the future, any negative
effects on our international business could negatively impact our business,
operating results and financial condition as a whole. In particular, gains and
losses on the conversion of foreign payments into U.S. dollars may contribute
to fluctuations in our results of operations and fluctuating exchange rates
could cause reduced gross revenues and/or gross margins from dollar-denominated
international sales.
We may encounter significant difficulties in integrating our recent
acquisition, Sports Universe, which could divert our management's attention and
harm our business.
In early September 1999, we completed the acquisition of Sports Universe,
Inc. We acquired Sports Universe because we believe that we can achieve a
broader and more complete product offering for our consumers by combining our
products, marketing, consumer experience, distribution channels and client base
with the "action sports" line of Sports Universe. We may not be able to
successfully integrate the businesses and product offerings of the two
companies. The process of combining the two companies and their product
offerings may cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, the
activities of either or both of the companies' businesses, which could
adversely affect their combined operations. Our management may have to divert
attention from our day-to-day business and devote substantial resources to
retaining employees and
16
<PAGE>
maintaining other relationships. If we fail to successfully complete the
integration of Sports Universe, our business could be harmed.
Acquisitions of companies or technologies may result in disruptions to our
business and management due to difficulties in assimilating personnel and
operations.
We may make acquisitions or investments in other companies or technologies.
We may not realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition or investment.
If we make any acquisitions, we will be required to assimilate the operations,
products and personnel of the acquired businesses and train, retain and
motivate key personnel from the acquired businesses. We may be unable to
maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies if we fail in
these efforts. Similarly, acquisitions may cause disruptions in our operations
and divert management's attention from day-to-day operations, which could
impair our relationships with our current employees, customers and strategic
partners. In addition, our profitability may suffer because of acquisition-
related costs or amortization costs for acquired goodwill and other intangible
assets.
We may be subject to product liability claims that could be costly and time
consuming.
We sell products manufactured by third parties, some of which may be
defective. If any product that we sell were to cause physical injury or injury
to property, the injured party or parties could bring claims against us as the
retailer of the product. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover
every claim that could be asserted against us. If a successful claim were
brought against us in excess of our insurance coverage, it could harm our
business. Even unsuccessful claims could result in the expenditure of funds and
management time and could have a negative impact on our business.
Because of their significant stock ownership, our officers and directors will
be able to exert significant control over our future direction.
After this offering, our executive officers and directors, their affiliates
and other substantial stockholders will together control approximately % of
our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders, if they act
together, will be able to control all matters requiring our stockholders'
approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant
corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may delay, prevent or
deter a change in control, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to
receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of the company or
its assets and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may make changes of
control difficult, even if they would be beneficial to stockholders.
After this offering, the board of directors will have the authority to issue
up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Also, without any further vote or
action on the part of the stockholders, the board of directors will have the
authority to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions of the preferred stock. If we issue preferred stock, it might have
preference over and harm the rights of the holders of common stock. Although
the availability of this preferred stock will provide us with flexibility in
connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, the
issuance of preferred stock may make it more difficult for a third-party to
acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. We currently have no plans
to issue preferred stock.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws include provisions that may
deter an unsolicited offer to purchase us. These provisions, coupled with the
provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, may delay or impede a
merger, tender offer or proxy contest. Further, upon reincorporation into
Delaware, our board of directors will be divided into three classes, only one
of which will be elected each year. Our directors will only be removable by the
affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of all classes of voting stock. These
factors may
17
<PAGE>
further delay or prevent a change of control. See "Description of Capital
Stock--Anti-takeover Effects of Provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation,
Bylaws and Delaware Law."
We will rely on email and other forms of direct online marketing. Our business
could suffer if these marketing techniques encounter consumer resistance or
increased governmental regulation.
We send emails to our registered users to obtain feedback about our online
store, to provide order information and to promote repeat sales. We may expand
our use of email and other direct online marketing techniques. If consumers
resist these forms of communication due to concerns about privacy, computer
viruses or the proliferation of commercial email, our business and reputation
could be damaged. We also anticipate that our use of email and other direct
online marketing techniques will be subject to increasingly stringent
regulation. For example, several states have passed laws limiting the use of
email for marketing purposes. To date, these laws have not had a significant
effect on us because they focus primarily on unsolicited email marketing and we
currently ask for our customers' permission before sending them email. However,
other states and Congress have begun to consider placing restrictions on email
marketing. This additional legislation could hamper our ability to provide
effective customer service and generate repeat sales.
If we experience significant inventory theft, our gross margin may decrease.
If the security measures used at any distribution facility we use or operate
do not significantly reduce or prevent inventory theft, our gross margin may
significantly decrease. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, we
experienced an immaterial amount of inventory theft. However, this theft may
increase as we expand our fulfillment operations and distribution network. If
measures we take to address inventory theft do not reduce or prevent inventory
theft, our gross margin and results of operations could be significantly below
expectations in future periods.
Risks specific to the Internet and our industry
Sporting goods consumers may not accept our online business model. This may
result in slower revenue growth, loss of revenue and increased operating
losses.
To be successful, we must attract and retain a significant number of
consumers to our web site at a reasonable cost. Any significant shortfall in
the number of transactions occurring over our web site will negatively affect
our financial results by increasing or prolonging operating losses. Conversion
of customers from traditional shopping methods to electronic shopping may not
occur as rapidly as we expect, or at all. Therefore, we may not achieve the
critical mass of customer traffic we believe is necessary to become successful.
Specific factors that could prevent widespread customer acceptance of our
online business model, and our ability to grow our revenue, include:
. customer concerns about the security of online transactions;
. customer concerns about buying sporting goods, footwear and other
products without first seeing them;
. delivery time before customers receive Internet orders, unlike the
immediate receipt of products at traditional retail outlets;
. pricing that may not meet customer expectations;
. customer resistance to shipping charges, which generally do not apply to
purchases from traditional retail outlets;
. shipment of damaged goods or wrong products from our suppliers; and
. difficulties in returning or exchanging orders.
18
<PAGE>
The success of our business model is dependent upon the continued growth of the
online commerce infrastructure.
Our future revenue and any future profits are also dependent upon the
continued development of the online commerce infrastructure. The Internet and
other online services may not be accepted as a viable commercial marketplace
for a number of reasons, including potentially inadequate development of
enabling technologies and performance improvements. To the extent that the
Internet and other online services continue to experience significant growth in
the number of users, their frequency of use or an increase in their bandwidth
requirements, there can be no assurance that the infrastructure for the
Internet and other online services will be able to support the demands placed
upon them. In addition, the Internet or other online services could lose their
viability due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and
protocols required to handle increased levels of Internet or other online
service activity. Changes in or insufficient availability of telecommunications
services to support the Internet or other online services could result in
slower response times and adversely affect usage of the Internet and other
online services, including fogdog.com. These problems would adversely affect
our business and cause our stock price to decline.
Sporting goods and apparel are subject to changing consumer preferences. If we
fail to anticipate these changes, we will experience lower sales, higher
inventory markdowns and lower margins.
Our success depends upon our ability to anticipate and respond to trends in
sporting goods merchandise and consumers' participation in sports. Consumers'
tastes in apparel and sporting goods equipment are subject to frequent and
significant changes, due in part to manufacturers' efforts to incorporate
advanced technologies into some types of sporting goods. In addition, the level
of consumer interest in a given sport can fluctuate dramatically. If we fail to
identify and respond to changes in sporting goods merchandising and
recreational sports participation, our sales could suffer and we could be
required to mark down unsold inventory. This would depress our profit margins.
In addition, any failure to keep pace with changes in consumers' recreational
sports habits could allow our competitors to gain market share and could hurt
our reputation.
If we do not respond to rapid technological changes, our services could become
obsolete and we could lose customers.
To be competitive, we must continue to enhance and improve the functionality
and features of our online store. The Internet and the online commerce industry
are rapidly changing. If competitors introduce new products and services
featuring new technologies, or if new industry standards and practices emerge,
our existing web site and proprietary technology and systems may become
obsolete. We may use new technologies ineffectively, or we may be unable to
license or otherwise obtain new technologies from third parties. We may also
experience difficulties in adapting our web site, the systems that we use to
process customers' orders and payments, our computer network to customer
requirements, new technologies or emerging industry standards.
Governmental regulation may slow the Internet's growth and increase our costs
of doing business.
Laws and regulations directly applicable to online commerce or Internet
communications are becoming more prevalent. These laws and regulations could
expose us to compliance costs and substantial liability, which could materially
harm our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the
growth of the Internet, coupled with publicity regarding Internet fraud, may
lead to the enactment of more stringent consumer protection laws. These laws
would be likely to impose additional burdens on our business. The adoption of
any additional laws or regulations may also inhibit the expansion of the
Internet, which could reduce visits to our online store or otherwise harm our
business. Moreover, the applicability to the Internet of existing laws in
various jurisdictions governing issues such as qualifications to do business,
property ownership, sales tax, obscenity, employment, libel, intellectual
property and personal privacy is uncertain and may take years to resolve. In
order to comply with new or existing laws regulating online commerce, we may
need to modify the manner in which we do business, which may result in
additional expenses and could slow our growth. For instance, we may need to
spend time and money revising the process by which we fulfill customer orders
to
19
<PAGE>
ensure that each shipment complies with applicable laws. We may also need to
revise our customer acquisition and registration processes to comply with
increasingly stringent laws relating to dealing with minors online. We may need
to hire additional personnel to monitor our compliance with applicable laws. We
may also need to modify our software to further protect our customers' personal
information.
Regulations imposed by the Federal Trade Commission may adversely affect the
growth of our Internet business or our marketing efforts.
The Federal Trade Commission has proposed regulations regarding the
collection and use of personal identifying information obtained from
individuals when accessing web sites, with particular emphasis on access by
minors. These regulations may include requirements that we establish procedures
to disclose and notify users of privacy and security policies, obtain consent
from users for collection and use of information and provide users with the
ability to access, correct and delete personal information stored by us. These
regulations may also include enforcement and remedial provisions. Even in the
absence of those regulations, the Federal Trade Commission has begun
investigations into the privacy practices of other companies that collect
information on the Internet. One investigation resulted in a consent decree
under which an Internet company agreed to establish programs to implement the
principles noted above. We may become a party to a similar investigation or
enforcement proceeding, or the Federal Trade Commission's regulatory and
enforcement efforts may harm our ability to collect demographic and personal
information from users, which could be costly or adversely affect our marketing
efforts.
Our inability to securely transmit confidential information over public
networks may harm our business and cause our stock price to decline.
A significant barrier to online commerce and communications is the secure
transmission of confidential information over public networks. We rely upon
encryption and authentication technology licensed from third parties to effect
the secure transmission of confidential information, such as customer credit
card numbers. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field
of cryptography or other events may result in a compromise or breach of the
systems that we use to protect customer transaction data. A party who is able
to circumvent our security measures may misappropriate proprietary information
or customers' personal data such as credit card numbers, and could interrupt
our operations. We may be required to expend significant capital and other
resources to protect against such security breaches or to alleviate problems
caused by these breaches. In addition, security breaches may damage our
reputation and cause our stock price to decline.
Credit card fraud could adversely affect our business.
A failure to adequately control fraudulent credit card transactions could
reduce our net revenues and our gross margin because we do not carry insurance
against this risk. We have put in place technology to help us detect the
fraudulent use of credit card information and have not suffered material losses
to date. However, we may in the future suffer losses as a result of orders
placed with fraudulent credit card data even though the associated financial
institution approved payment of the orders. Under current credit card
practices, we are liable for fraudulent credit card transactions because we do
not obtain a cardholder's signature.
If one or more states successfully assert that we should collect sales or other
taxes on the sale of our merchandise, our business could be harmed.
We do not currently collect sales or other similar taxes for physical
shipments of goods into states other than California and Pennsylvania. However,
one or more local, state or foreign jurisdictions may seek to impose sales tax
collection obligations on us and other out-of-state companies that engage in
online commerce. If one or more states or any foreign country successfully
asserts that we should collect sales or other taxes on the sale of our
merchandise, it could adversely affect our business.

We may be subject to liability for content on our web site.
As a publisher of online content, we face potential liability for
defamation, negligence, copyright, right of publicity or privacy, patent or
trademark infringement, or other claims based on the nature and content of
materials that we publish or distribute. We have, in the past, received notices
of such claims, and we expect to continue to receive such claims in the future.
We may also be subject to claims based on the content on our bulletin boards.
If we face liability, then our reputation and our business may suffer. In the
past, plaintiffs have brought these types of claims and sometimes successfully
litigated them against online services. Although we carry general liability
insurance, our insurance currently does not cover claims of these types.
Year 2000 issues present technological risks, could disrupt our business and
could decrease our sales.
Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to
accept or recognize only two digit entries in the date code field. These
systems and software products will need to accept four digit entries to
distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. As a result, computer
systems and/or software used by many companies and governmental agencies may
need to be upgraded to comply with these year 2000 requirements or risk system
failure or miscalculations causing disruption of normal business activities.
Any failure of our material systems, our suppliers' and fulfillment
partners' material systems or the Internet to be year 2000 compliant could
result in financial loss to us, harm to our reputation and legal liability. We
are currently assessing the year 2000 readiness of the software, computer
technology and other services that we use that may not be year 2000 compliant.
We have not completed all operational tests on our internal systems.
Accordingly, we are unable to predict to what extent our business may be
affected if our software, the systems that operate in conjunction with our
software or our internal systems experience a material year 2000 failure. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Year 2000 Compliance."
Risks Related to This Offering
Our management has broad discretion as to how to use the proceeds from this
offering and the proceeds may not be appropriately used.
We intend to use the proceeds from this offering for general corporate
purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures, and we may use a
portion of the proceeds to acquire other businesses, products or technologies.
We will in any case have broad discretion over how we use these proceeds. You
will not have the opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other
information on which we base our decisions regarding how to use the proceeds
from this offering, and we may spend these proceeds in ways with which you may
disagree. Pending any of these uses, we plan to invest the proceeds of this
offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. We
cannot predict whether these investments will yield a favorable return. See
"Use of Proceeds."
The price of our common stock after this offering may be lower than the
offering price you pay and may be volatile.
Prior to this offering, our common stock has not been sold in a public
market. After this offering, an active trading market in our stock might not
develop. If an active trading market develops, it may not continue. Moreover,
if an active market develops, the trading price of our common stock may
fluctuate widely as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside
our control. In addition, the stock market has experienced extreme price and
volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices of many Internet
related companies, and which have often been unrelated or disproportionate to
the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations
could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. A significant
21
<PAGE>
decline in our stock price could result in substantial losses for individual
stockholders and could lead to costly and disruptive securities litigation.
If you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will pay a
price that was not established in a competitive market. Rather, you will pay a
price that we negotiated with the representatives of the underwriters based
upon a number of factors. The price of our common stock that will prevail in
the market after this offering may be higher or lower than the offering price.
See "Underwriting."
You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the value of your
shares following this offering.
If you purchase shares of our common stock, you will incur immediate and
substantial dilution in pro forma net tangible book value. If other
securityholders exercise options or warrants to purchase our capital stock, you
will suffer further dilution. See "Dilution."
Substantial amounts of our common stock could be sold in the near future, which
could depress our stock price.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common
stock, and we cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of
common stock or the availability of shares of common stock for sale will have
on the market price of the common stock prevailing from time to time. If our
stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market
following this offering, including shares issued upon the exercise of
outstanding options and warrants, the trading price of our common stock could
fall. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or
equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem
appropriate. Upon completion of this offering, we will have shares
of common stock outstanding, assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-
allotment option and no exercise of outstanding options. All of the shares we
are selling in this offering may be resold in the public market immediately.
Another 37,428,509 shares are subject to lock-up agreements and will become
available for resale in the public market beginning 180 days after the date of
this prospectus. As restrictions on resale end, our stock price could drop
significantly if the holders of these restricted shares sell them or are
perceived by the market as intending to sell them. See "Shares Available for
Future Sale."
CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the federal securities laws, which involve risks and uncertainties. These
forward-looking statements are not historical facts but rather are based on
current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, our beliefs
and assumptions. We use words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends,"
"plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates" and variations of these words and
similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. These statements
are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks,
uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are
difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. These risks
and uncertainties include those described in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in
this prospectus. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which reflect our management's view only as of the date of this
prospectus. We undertake no obligation to update these statements or publicly
release the result of any revision to the forward-looking statements that we
may make to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus
or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

USE OF PROCEEDS
Our net proceeds from the sale and issuance of the shares
of common stock offered are estimated to be $ million at an assumed
initial public offering price of $ per share after deducting the
estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and our estimated offering
expenses. If the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full, our
estimated net proceeds will be $ . We intend to use the net proceeds
for general corporate purposes, including marketing and sales activities,
working capital and capital expenditures. Pending these uses, we will invest
the net proceeds of the offering in short-term, interest-bearing investment-
grade securities. See "Risk Factors--Our management has broad discretion as to
how to use the proceeds from this offering and the proceeds may not be
appropriately used." In addition, we may use a portion of the net proceeds to
acquire or invest in complementary businesses or products or to obtain the
right to use complementary technologies. We currently have no agreements or
commitments with respect to any acquisition or investment, and we are not
involved in any negotiations with respect to any similar transaction.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid dividends on our capital stock and do not
anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Payments of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of
directors after taking into account various factors, including our financial
condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs and plans for
expansion. Our credit facility with Imperial Bank prohibits us from paying
dividends without prior approval.

DILUTION
If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted to the
extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our
common stock and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of
our common stock after this offering. Our pro forma net tangible book value at
June 30, 1999, was approximately $27.2 million, or $0.63 per share of common
stock. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents total tangible
assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock
outstanding after giving effect to the conversion of all outstanding
convertible preferred stock. After giving effect to the sale of shares
of our common stock at an assumed initial public offering price of $ per
share, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and
estimated offering expenses, our pro forma net tangible book value at June 30,
1999, would have been $ , or $ per share. This represents an
immediate increase in net tangible book value of $ per share to existing
stockholders and an immediate dilution of $ per share to new investors
purchasing shares of common stock in this offering. The following table
illustrates this dilution:

basis, the total number of shares and consideration paid to us and the average
price per share paid by existing stockholders and by new investors purchasing
shares of common stock in this offering at an assumed initial public offering
price of $ per share and before deducting the estimated underwriting
discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses:

The above computations are based on the number of shares of common stock
outstanding as of June 30, 1999 and include:
. 5,294,116 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of preferred
stock sold in September 1999; and
. 399,998 shares of common stock issued in connection with our acquisition
of Sports Universe, Inc. in September 1999,

. 5,731,410 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options
outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $0.11 per share;
. shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 1999

. 6,171,524 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of an
outstanding warrant held by Nike USA, Inc. at an exercise price of $1.03
per share; and
. 255,923 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding
warrants at a weighted average exercise price of $0.98 per share.
To the extent that any of these options or warrants are exercised, there
could be further dilution to new investors. For additional information

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
You should read the following selected financial data in conjunction with
our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this
prospectus and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" included elsewhere herein. The statement of operations
data for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, and the balance
sheet data as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, are derived from the audited
financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The statement of
operations data for the period from inception (October 28, 1994) to December
31, 1994 and for the year ended December 31, 1995, and the balance sheet data
as of December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, are derived from the audited financial
statements not included elsewhere in this prospectus. The statement of
operations data for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999 and the balance
sheet data as of June 30, 1999 are derived from the unaudited financial
statements included elsewhere in this prospectus and include all adjustments,

SELECTED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA
Effective September 3, 1999, Fogdog Sports merged with Sports Universe, Inc.
Sports Universe sells equipment and apparel for wakeboarding, waterskiing,
inline skating, surfing and skateboarding on the Internet. The merger was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly the
purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed on the basis of their fair values as of the acquisition
date. The total purchase price of approximately $1.6 million consisted of
399,998 shares of Fogdog Sports common stock with an estimated fair value of
approximately $4.00 per share and other acquisition related expenses of
approximately $30,000, consisting primarily of payments for professional fees.
The purchase price was allocated as follows: $524,000 to net tangible
liabilities assumed and $2.2 million to goodwill. The acquired goodwill will be
amortized over its estimated useful life of two years. The following unaudited
pro forma consolidated statement of operations gives effect to this merger as
if it had occurred on February 9, 1998 (inception) by consolidating the results
of operations of Sports Universe from inception through December 31, 1998 and
the six months ended June 30, 1999 with the results of operations of
Fogdog Sports. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet
gives effect to this merger as if it had occurred on June 30, 1999. See Note C
to Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information for a description of the method
used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include, among others, those
statements including the words "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "believes"
and similar language. Our actual results could differ materially from those
discussed in this prospectus. Factors that could cause or contribute to these
differences include, but are not limited to, the risks discussed in the section
entitled "Risk Factors" in this prospectus.
Overview
We are a leading Internet retailer focused exclusively on sporting goods. We
currently offer an extensive selection of competitively priced sporting goods
consisting of up to 60,000 distinct stock keeping units representing more than
500 brands in all major sports categories.
We were incorporated in October 1994. From our inception through July 1998,
we were engaged in providing web development and design services to sporting
goods manufacturers, trade associations, retailers and other industry members.
In July 1997, we launched a web site, "SportSite.com," and established
partnerships with sporting goods catalog and distribution companies to process
orders, manage inventory and ship goods directly to customers. In the third
quarter of 1998, we phased out the design services portion of our business to
focus exclusively on online retail. In November 1998, we changed our name to
Fogdog, Inc. and the name of our web site to "fogdog.com."
We derive our revenue from the sale of sporting goods from our web site.
Merchandise revenue is recognized when goods are shipped to our customers from
manufacturers, distributors or third-party warehouses, which occurs only after
credit card authorization. For sales of merchandise, we are responsible for
pricing, processing and fulfilling the orders. We process merchandise returns
and bear the credit risk for these transactions. We generally allow returns for
any reason within 45 days of the sale. Accordingly, we provide for allowances
for estimated future returns at the time of shipment based on historical data.
Historically, our rate of product returns has ranged between 8% and 10% of
total revenues, but our future return rates could differ significantly from our
historical averages. Currently, less than 15% of our transactions are shipped
from inventory held at third-party warehouses. We expect this percentage to
increase in future periods.
From October 1994 through March 1999, we derived revenue from commissions.
Our commission revenue was earned from transactions processed through our
online stores, fogdog.com and SportSite.com, whereby we obtained and processed
customer orders in exchange for a commission on the sale of the vendor's
merchandise. At the conclusion of the sale, we forwarded the order information
to the vendor, which then charged the customer's credit card and shipped the
merchandise directly to the customer. We recognized commission revenue when we
forwarded the order to the vendor. In a commission sale transaction, we did not
take title or possession of the merchandise, and the vendor bore all the risk
of credit card chargebacks and merchandise returns. When we launched our
fogdog.com web site in November 1998, we began to take title to our own
merchandise and also to bear customer credit and return risk on a substantial
number of our transactions. In April 1999, we began to take title to the
merchandise on all transactions processed on our web site. We have also earned
commission revenue from transactions processed on several client sites, which
has been immaterial to date.
From October 1994 to July 1998, we also earned revenue from web development.
Revenue from the sale of web development services was recognized when we had
the right to invoice the customer, the collection of the receivable was
probable, there were no significant obligations remaining and the client's web
site was either placed on-line or completed to the client's satisfaction. We
terminated our web development services in July 1998, and transitioned our
remaining support obligations to a third party.
28
<PAGE>
We have incurred substantial costs to develop our web site and to recruit,
train and compensate personnel for our creative, engineering, sales, marketing,
merchandising, customer service and administration departments. As a result, we
have incurred substantial losses since inception and, as of June 30, 1999, had
an accumulated deficit of $12.4 million. In order to expand our business, we
intend to invest heavily in sales, marketing, merchandising, operations, site
development and additional personnel to support these activities. We therefore
expect to continue to incur substantial operating losses for the foreseeable
future.
We had 70 full-time employees as of June 30, 1999 and intend to hire a
significant number of employees in the future. This expansion will place
significant demands on our management and our operational resources. To manage
this rapid growth, we must invest in and implement operational systems,
procedures and controls that can be expanded easily. We expect future expansion
to continue to challenge our ability to hire, train, manage and retain
employees.
In September 1999, we purchased Sports Universe, Inc., and Sports Universe
became our wholly owned subsidiary. Sports Universe derives its revenue
primarily from the sales of sporting goods from its web site,
"sportsuniverse.com." Sports Universe is a Delaware corporation that is based
in Austin, Texas and has fewer than 10 full-time employees. In the merger, we
exchanged 399,998 shares of our common stock for all outstanding shares of
Sports Universe capital stock. The transaction was accounted for using the
purchase method. We will record goodwill of approximately $2.2 million, which
will be amortized over a two-year period, in connection with the merger.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1999
Net Revenues
We had no merchandise revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
$1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Our merchandise revenue
resulted from customer transactions on our fogdog.com web site. In November
1998, we began taking title to our own merchandise and bearing the credit risk
on an increasing number of transactions. Revenue from merchandise shipped
outside the United States was approximately 10% of total merchandise revenue
for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
Commission revenue was $37,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
$35,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease in commission
revenue was due to the elimination of commission transactions in March 1999.
Web development revenue was $328,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
and we had no web development revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
We terminated our web development services in July 1998.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of merchandise revenue consists of product, shipping and handling
costs, and credit card processing fees. We incurred no cost of merchandise
revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1998, and cost of merchandise revenue
was $821,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of
merchandise revenue, cost of merchandise revenue was 78% for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. We began to incur cost of merchandise revenue as we began
taking title to our own merchandise and bearing customer credit risk.
Cost of web development revenue consists of third-party fees and salaries
and related costs for site development and maintenance on behalf of clients.
Cost of web development revenue was $87,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1998, and we had no cost of web development revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. The decrease in the cost of web development revenue in dollars
and as a percentage of web development revenue was due to the elimination of
our hosting and maintenance activity.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $278,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
$263,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of total net
revenues, gross profit was 76% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 24%
for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease in gross profit in dollars
and as a percentage of total net revenues was due to the shift in our revenue
from web development services to the sale of merchandise on our web site.
Marketing and Sales Expenses
Our marketing and sales expenses consist primarily of advertising and
promotional expenditures, distribution facility expenses, including equipment
and supplies, credit card verification fees and payroll and related expenses
for personnel engaged in marketing, merchandising, customer service and
distribution activities. Marketing and sales expenses were $449,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999. As a percentage of net revenues, marketing and sales expenses were 123%
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 401% for the six months ended June
30, 1999. The increase in marketing and sales expenses in dollars and as a
percentage of net revenues was attributable to an increase in advertising and
merchandising, customer service, distribution, and marketing personnel and
related costs as we continued to expand our online store and establish the
Fogdog brand. In September 1999, we entered into an agreement with Nike USA,
Inc. to distribute Nike products on our web site. In connection with this
agreement, we granted Nike a warrant to purchase 6,171,524 shares of our common
stock at an exercise price of $1.03 per share. Our sales and marketing expenses
in each quarter over the two-year term of the agreement will include a portion
of the warrant's estimated fair value of approximately $26 million, calculated
on a straight-line basis. We expect to continue to substantially increase our
marketing and promotional efforts and hire additional marketing, merchandising,
customer service and operations personnel.

<PAGE>
Site Development Expenses
Our site development expenses consist of payroll and related expenses for
web site development and information technology personnel, Internet access,
hosting charges and logistics engineering, and web content and design expenses.
Site development expenses were $409,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998
and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of net
revenues, site development expenses were 112% for the six months ended June 30,
1998 and 111% for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in site
development expenses in dollars was due to the introduction and enhancement of
our fogdog.com web site in November 1998 and subsequent enhancements. We expect
to continue to make substantial investments in site development and anticipate
that site development expenses will continue to increase.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist of payroll and related expenses
for executive and administrative personnel, facilities expenses, professional
service expenses and other general corporate expenses. General and
administrative expenses were $289,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998
and $776,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of net
revenues, general and administrative expenses were 79% for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and 72% for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in
general and administrative expenses in dollars was due to increased personnel
and related costs to support the implementation of our business strategy. The
decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues
was due to the growth in merchandise revenue without a proportionate increase
in general and administrative expenses. We expect that general and
administrative expenses will increase substantially as we add personnel and
incur additional costs related to the anticipated growth of our business and
operation as a public company.
Amortization of Stock-Based Compensation
In connection with the grant of employee stock options, we recorded
aggregate unearned stock-based compensation of $3.4 million through June 30,
1999. Employee stock-based compensation expense is amortized over the vesting
period of the options, which is generally four years, using the multiple-option
approach. We expect to record additional unearned stock-based compensation of
approximately $6.1 million for stock options granted in August and September
1999. We expect to record employee stock-based compensation expenses of
approximately $822,000 for the quarter ending September 30, 1999, $1.1 million
for the quarter ending December 31, 1999, $1.1 million for the quarter ending
March 31, 2000 and $1.0 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2000. We
anticipate this expense to decrease in future periods. Unearned stock-based
compensation expense will be reduced in future periods to the extent that
options are terminated prior to full vesting.
Interest Income (Expense), Net
Interest income (expense), net consists of interest earned on cash and
short-term investments, offset by interest expense related to bank borrowings
and other financing lines. Interest income (expense), net was $(24,000) for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 and $158,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1999. The increase in interest income was due to higher average cash balances
from additional sales of preferred stock completed in the first and second
quarters of 1999.
Years Ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998
Net Revenues
We had no merchandise revenue for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1997, and merchandise revenue of $195,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Our merchandise revenue resulted from customer transactions on our fogdog.com
web site. In November 1998, we began taking title to our own merchandise and
bearing the credit risk on an increasing number of transactions. Revenue from
merchandise shipped outside the United States was approximately 6% of total
merchandise revenue for the year ended December 31, 1998.
31
<PAGE>
We had no commission revenue for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Commission revenue was $11,000 and $123,000 for the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1998, respectively. This increase in commission revenue was due to an
increased number of commission transactions processed on our web site.
Web development revenue was $677,000, $1.0 million and $447,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The increase in web
development revenue from 1996 to 1997 was due to an increase in the number of
development contracts that we signed. The decrease in web development revenue
from 1997 to 1998 occurred as we shifted our focus from being a web development
services provider to an online retailer.
Cost of Revenues
We had no cost of merchandise revenue for the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1997, and cost of merchandise revenue was $157,000 or 81% of merchandise
revenue for the year ended December 31, 1998. We began to incur cost of
merchandise revenue as we began to take title to the merchandise and bear the
credit risk prior to delivery to the customer.
Cost of commission revenue consists of the value of services rendered and
fees paid to trade associations. We had no cost of commission revenue for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, and cost of commission revenue was
$19,000 or 15% of commission revenue for the year ended December 31, 1998. We
had no commission revenue in 1996. We had no cost of commission revenue for
1997 because all commission revenue in 1997 was derived from third-party web
sites for which we incurred no verification fees.
Cost of web development revenue was $90,000, $156,000 and $99,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. As a percentage of
web development revenue, cost of web development revenue was 13%, 15% and 22%
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The
increase in the cost of web development revenue in dollars and as a percentage
of web development revenue from 1996 to 1997 was attributable to an increase in
our hosting and maintenance activity for which we incurred initial start-up
costs. The decrease in the cost of web development revenue in dollars and as a
percentage of web development revenue from 1997 to 1998 was due to a reduction
of our hosting and maintenance activity as we shifted our focus from being a
web development services provider to an online retailer.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $587,000, $885,000 and $490,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. As a percentage of total net
revenues, gross profit was 87%, 85% and 64% for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The increase in gross profit from 1996 to
1997 was due to an increase in web development revenue. The decrease in gross
profit in dollars and as a percentage of total net revenues from 1997 to 1998
was due to the shift in our revenue from web development to the sale of
merchandise.
Marketing and Sales Expenses
Marketing and sales expenses were $686,000, $1.3 million and $2.4 million
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. As a
percentage of net revenues, marketing and sales expenses were 101%, 123% and
314% for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The
increase in dollars and as a percentage of net revenues from 1996 to 1997 was
attributable to an increase in personnel and related costs required to
implement our sales and marketing strategy. The increase in marketing and sales
expenses in dollars and as a percentage of net revenues from 1997 to 1998 was
attributable to an increase in advertising and merchandising, customer service,
distribution, and marketing personnel and related costs.

<PAGE>
Site Development Expenses
Site development expenses were $119,000, $259,000 and $1.3 million for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. As a percentage of
net revenues, site development expenses were 18%, 25% and 172% for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The increase in site
development expenses in dollars and as a percentage of net revenues from 1996
to 1997 was due to the introduction and enhancement of the SportSite.com web
site and subsequent enhancements. The increase in dollars and as a percentage
of net revenues from 1997 to 1998 was due to the introduction and enhancement
of our fogdog.com web site and the development of technologies for integrating
with our suppliers.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $248,000, $378,000 and $705,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. As a percentage
of net revenues, general and administrative expenses were 37%, 36% and 92% for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The increase in
general and administrative expenses in dollars and as a percentage of net
revenues was due to increased personnel and related costs to support the
implementation of our business strategy.
Amortization of Stock-Based Compensation
In connection with the grant of employee stock options, we recorded
aggregate unearned stock-based compensation of $1.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998 which is being amortized over a four-year vesting period
using the multiple-option approach.
Interest Income (Expense), Net
Interest income (expense), net was $(3,000), $(8,000) and $29,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The increase in
interest income (expense), net was due to higher average cash balances from
additional sales of securities completed in the second quarter of 1998.
Other Income
Other income consists of the proceeds we received when we transitioned our
remaining web development service obligations to a third-party, which was
completed in the third quarter of 1998.
Provision for Income Taxes
We have incurred operating losses for all periods from inception through
June 30, 1999, and therefore have not recorded a provision for income taxes.
Our deferred tax asset primarily consists of net operating loss carryforwards
and nondeductible accruals and allowances. We have recorded a valuation
allowance for the full amount of our net deferred tax assets, as the future
realization of the tax benefit is not currently likely.
As of December 31, 1998, we had net operating loss carryforwards for federal
and state tax purposes of approximately $4.3 million and $4.7 million,
respectively. These federal and state tax loss carryforwards are available to
reduce future taxable income and expire at various dates into the year 2019. We
expect that the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that could be
utilized annually in the future to offset taxable income will be limited by
"change in ownership" provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. This annual
limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards
before their utilization.

Quarterly Results of Operations and Seasonality
The following tables set forth a summary of our unaudited quarterly
operating results for each of the six quarters in the period ended June 30,
1999. This information has been derived from our unaudited financial statements
which, in management's opinion, have been prepared on a basis consistent with
the audited financial statements contained elsewhere in this prospectus and
include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair statement of this information when read in conjunction
with our audited financial statements and related notes. The amount and timing
of our operating expenses generally will vary from quarter to quarter depending
on our level of actual and anticipated business activities. Our revenue and
operating results are difficult to forecast and will fluctuate, and we believe
that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results will not necessarily
be meaningful. As a result, you should not rely upon them as an indication of
future performance.

<PAGE>
Commencing with the launch of our fogdog.com web site in November 1998, our
merchandise revenue has increased during each quarter. These increases resulted
from growth in the number of customers and products available for sale on our
web site.
Cost of merchandise revenue increased from the fourth quarter of 1998
through the second quarter of 1999 as we increased merchandise sales. Our cost
of merchandise revenue as a percentage of net revenues increased from the
fourth quarter of 1998 to the first and second quarters of 1999 due to
increased shipping and handling costs.
Marketing and sales expenses increased each quarter from the first quarter
of 1998 through the second quarter of 1999 as we began online and offline
advertising and as we launched the fogdog.com web site in the fourth quarter of
1998. We also increased personnel and related expenses required to implement
our marketing and sales strategy. Site development expenses increased each
quarter from the first quarter of 1998 through the fourth quarter of 1998 as we
began enhancing our web site to accommodate the increased transaction volume
and product offerings for the holiday season. After completion of the launch of
our fogdog.com web site in the fourth quarter of 1998, site development
expenses decreased from the fourth quarter of 1998 to the first quarter of 1999
as we did not have any launch related expenses. Site development expenses
increased from the first quarter of 1999 to the second quarter of 1999 as we
increased spending on design and content to develop additional specialty shops.
General and administrative expenses increased each quarter from the first
quarter of 1998 through the second quarter of 1999 as we increased personnel
and related expenses to support our new business strategy.
We expect our business to be highly seasonal, reflecting the general pattern
associated with the retail industry of peak sales and earnings during the
fourth quarter. We believe that a substantial portion of our annual sales will
occur in the fourth quarter. We expect to experience lower sales during the
other quarters, and as is typical in the retail industry, have incurred and may
continue to incur greater losses in these quarters. See "Risk Factors--Seasonal
fluctuations in the sales of sporting goods could cause wide fluctuations in
our quarterly results."
Results of Operations--Sports Universe
We acquired Sports Universe, Inc. in September 1999. Since its inception in
February 1998, Sports Universe has incurred operating losses. During the six
months ended June 30, 1999, Sports Universe recorded revenue of approximately
$262,000 from the sale of merchandise on its web site and from web design
services, and incurred a net loss of $63,000. During the six months ended June
30, 1999, Sports Universe incurred total operating expenses of approximately
$170,000, which consisted primarily of personnel and related costs for
marketing, sales and administrative staff. At June 30, 1999, Sports Universe
had negative working capital of $571,000 and an accumulated deficit of
$549,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily from private
sales of convertible preferred stock totaling $24.2 million and, to a lesser
extent, from bank borrowings and lease financing.
Our operating activities used cash of $399,000 during 1996, $915,000 during
1997, $3.0 million during 1998 and $5.4 million during the first six months of
1999. This negative operating cash flow resulted primarily from our net losses
experienced during these periods. In 1998 and 1999, we invested in the
development of our brand and online store, hired additional personnel and
expanded our technology infrastructure to support our growth.
Our investing activities, consisting of purchases of furniture, fixtures and
computer equipment to support our growing number of employees, used cash of
$137,000 during 1996, $81,000 during 1997, $692,000 during 1998 and $318,000
during the first six months of 1999.
35
<PAGE>
Our financing activities generated cash of $971,000 during 1996, $836,000
during 1997, $5.0 million during 1998 and $18.2 million during the first six
months of 1999. Of these financing activities, the issuance of convertible
preferred stock generated net proceeds of $945,000 during 1996, $528,000 during
1997, $4.8 million during 1998 and $17.9 million for the six months ended June
30, 1999. We also had proceeds from bank borrowings of $452,000 in 1998.
At June 30, 1999, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments aggregating $14.6 million. Our short-term investments secure a
letter of credit issued in connection with the lease of our corporate offices.
We have an agreement with a bank, which provides us with the ability to borrow
up to $1.5 million, subject to specified limitations. The agreement provides
for the following:
. a revolving line of credit for $500,000 secured by cash on hand to cover
the outstanding balance;
. an equipment loan for $800,000, due on September 15, 2001, limited to
75% of the invoice amount of the equipment; and
. an equipment term loan for $150,000 payable in 24 equal installments
commencing January 28, 1999.
We had an outstanding aggregate balance at June 30, 1999 of $1.0 million.
Interest on the borrowings range from the prime rate plus one-half percent to
the prime rate plus one percent and is payable monthly. We must meet financial
covenants with respect to the borrowings, one of which we were in violation of
at June 30, 1999. We received a waiver from the bank regarding the violated
covenant.
We also have an agreement with a software company to purchase software under
a one-year loan agreement which bears interest at 7.5%. The principal and
interest is payable in 12 equal monthly installments beginning in October 1998.
We had an outstanding balance at June 30, 1999 of $47,000.
During 1999, we entered into a number of commitments for online and
traditional offline advertising. As of June 30, 1999, our remaining commitments
were approximately $5.0 million. In addition, we have remaining commitments
under the lease for our headquarters of $4.9 million.
We expect to devote substantial resources to continue development of our
brand and online store, expand our sales, support, marketing and engineering
organizations, establish additional facilities worldwide and build the systems
necessary to support our growth. Although we believe that the proceeds of this
offering, together with our current cash and cash equivalents and our borrowing
capacity, will be sufficient to fund our activities for at least the next 12
months, there can be no assurance that we will not require additional financing
within this time frame or that additional funding, if needed, will be available
on terms acceptable to us or at all. In addition, although there are no present
understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisition of
other businesses, products or technologies, we may, from time to time, evaluate
potential acquisitions of other businesses, products and technologies. In order
to consummate potential acquisitions, we may issue additional securities or
need additional equity or debt financing and these financings may be dilutive
to existing investors.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1 is effective for financial
statements for years beginning after December 15, 1998. SOP 98-1 provides
guidance over accounting for computer software developed or obtained for
internal use including the requirements to capitalize specified costs and
amortization of such costs. The adoption of the provisions of SOP 98-1 during
our fiscal year beginning January 1, 1999 did not have a material effect on our
financial statements.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133
36
<PAGE>
establishes accounting and reporting standards of derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
other hedging activities. SFAS 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters
beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 1999. In July 1999, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 133." SFAS 137 deferred the effective date until the first fiscal
quarter ending June 30, 2000. We will adopt SFAS 133 in our quarter ending June
30, 2000. We do not currently engage in hedging activities or invest in
derivative instruments.
Year 2000 Compliance
Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to
accept or recognize only two digit entries in the date code field. These
systems and software products will need to accept four digit entries to
distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. As a result, computer
systems and/or software used by many companies and governmental agencies may
need to be upgraded to comply with Year 2000 requirements or risk system
failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of normal business activities.
In the second quarter of 1999, we initiated a Year 2000 compliance program.
The program is being directed by our information technology group. Our IT group
is charged with identifying issues of potential risk within each department and
making the appropriate evaluation, modification, upgrade or replacement.
Members of our IT group have worked with members of each of our principal
internal divisions in the course of assessing our Year 2000 compliance.
Scope of Year 2000 Assessment
The scope of our Year 2000 compliance program includes testing our web site
and the IT and non-IT systems used in our business at our headquarters and at
our third-party warehouses. The operational areas under investigation include:
. software applications;
. facilities;
. suppliers and vendors, including distributors; and
. computer systems.
We do not currently have information concerning the Year 2000 compliance
status of all of our vendors and distributors. If our suppliers, distributors
and manufacturers fail to achieve Year 2000 compliance, our business could
suffer.
Budget and Schedule
We have funded our Year 2000 plan from available cash and have not
separately accounted for these expenses in the past. As a result of our short
operating history, we believe that most of our third-party systems were
purchased in Year 2000 compliant condition. To date, expenditures for Year 2000
compliance have not been material and have totaled less than $150,000. Most of
our expenses have related to, and are expected to continue to relate to, the
operating costs associated with time spent by employees in the evaluation
process and Year 2000 compliance matters generally. We expect to incur no more
than an additional $100,000 to verify that our IT and non-IT systems are
capable of properly distinguishing between 20th century and 21st century dates.
However, we may experience unanticipated, material problems and expenses
associated with Year 2000 compliance that could harm our business. Finally, we
are also subject to external forces that might generally affect industry and
commerce, such as Year 2000 compliance failures by utility or transportation
companies and related service interruptions.
37
<PAGE>
We have not yet completed the evaluation of our web site and our third-party
software systems. We are in the process of obtaining Year 2000 assurances from
our principal third-party hardware vendors and service providers, and
installing Year 2000 "patch kits", where appropriate. We anticipate concluding
these activities by November 1999.
Third-Party Hardware and Software Systems and Services
We are in the process of evaluating all of the material third-party hardware
and software systems we use on our web site and in our business. We have
received written assurances of Year 2000 compliance from substantially all of
the providers of hardware used in our business. We have identified
approximately 20 different software vendors that provide software products for
our web site and in our business. To date, we have received adequate assurances
from substantially all of our software vendors as well. If any of the
assurances we have received from our third-party software or hardware providers
are false, our internal systems and our ability to ship our product would be
materially harmed.
We have also obtained assurances as to Year 2000 compliance from our hosting
service provider and we are in the process of obtaining written assurances from
our other third-party service providers. We expect to receive assurances from
such entities without additional expenditures by us.
We have made written inquiry of our distributors and the manufacturers from
which we obtain products. A majority of those entities have not provided us
with written assurances as to Year 2000 compliance. We cannot assure you that
we will obtain Year 2000 assurances from these entities, and if they do not
upgrade their systems for Year 2000 compliance, our ability to ship products
would be materially impaired.
Contingency Plan
We expect our compliance program to be substantially completed by November
1999. If we encounter delays or are unable to meet this schedule, we will
engage in testing and re-testing of non-compliant areas and develop a back up
plan which we would expect to complete by December 1999.
We may discover Year 2000 compliance problems in our systems that will
require substantial revision. In addition, third-party software, hardware or
services incorporated into our business or used in our web site may need to be
revised or replaced, all of which could be time-consuming and expensive and
result in the following, any of which could adversely affect our business:
. delay or loss of revenue;
. diversion of development and information technology resources;
. damage to our reputation; and
. litigation costs.
Our failure to fix or replace our third-party software, hardware or services on
a timely basis could result in lost revenues, increased operating costs, the
loss of customers and other business interruptions.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
We currently market our merchandise in the United States and anticipate
expanding our marketing efforts in Europe in late 1999 and throughout 2000. As
a result, our financial results could be affected by factors including changes
in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign
markets. As all sales are currently made in U.S. dollars, a strengthening of
the dollar could make our products less competitive in foreign markets. Our
interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest
rates, particularly since the majority of our investments are in short-term
instruments. Due to the short-term nature of our investments, we believe that
there is no material risk exposure. Therefore, no quantitative tabular
disclosures are required.

BUSINESS
Fogdog Sports is a leading online retailer of sporting goods. We have
designed fogdog.com, our online store, to offer an extensive product selection,
detailed product information and other value-added services. We believe that we
offer the largest selection of sporting goods online, with up to 60,000
distinct stock keeping units representing more than 500 brands in all major
sports categories. According to Media Metrix, Inc., our web site received more
visits during July 1999 than any other online retailer focusing exclusively on
sporting goods. Fogdog.com features a collection of specialty shops, including
soccer, baseball, golf, outdoors, fan/memorabilia and other popular categories,
organized to appeal to a broad base of customers from the avid enthusiast to
the occasional participant. We provide information and analysis authored by our
own experts, helpful shopping services, innovative merchandising and an
emphasis on customer service to help customers make more educated purchasing
decisions. We offer customers the convenience and flexibility of shopping 24
hours a day, seven days a week, which makes fogdog.com the "anytime, anywhere,
sports store." We intend to establish Fogdog as the first global brand for
retail sporting goods, and in the process build consumer trust, confidence and
loyalty.
Industry Overview
Electronic Commerce. The Internet is an increasingly significant medium for
communication, information exchange and commerce. Forrester Research estimates
that online purchases by U.S. consumers will grow from approximately $20
billion in 1999 to $184 billion by 2004, representing a compound annual growth
rate of 56%. International Data Corporation estimates that the number of total
online purchasers will grow from approximately 31 million in 1998 to 183
million in 2003, representing a compound annual growth rate of 43%. Forrester
Research projects that U.S. consumers will purchase $4.2 billion of sporting
goods online in 2004. We believe that growth in Internet usage is being fueled
primarily by easier and cheaper access to the Internet and improvements in
network security, infrastructure and bandwidth. We believe that these trends
are also helping to fuel the growth and consumer acceptance of online commerce.
The Internet provides a number of advantages for online retailers. Because
online retailers are not constrained by shelf space or catalog page
limitations, they are able to "display" a larger number of products at a lower
cost than traditional store-based or catalog retailers. In addition, online
retailers can more easily and frequently adjust their featured selections,
editorial content and pricing, providing significant merchandising flexibility.
Online retailers also benefit from the ability to reach a large group of
customers from a central location, and the potential for low-cost customer
interaction. Unlike traditional retail channels, online retailers do not have
the burdensome costs of managing and maintaining a retail store infrastructure
or the significant printing and mailing costs of catalogs. Online retailers
also can more easily obtain demographic and behavioral data about customers,
increasing their opportunities for targeted marketing and personalized
services.
Traditional Sporting Goods Industry. We believe that the sporting goods
industry, which includes apparel, equipment and athletic footwear, is large and
growing. According to the Sports Business Research Network, total U.S. retail
sales of sporting goods were approximately $77 billion in 1998 and have grown
at a 6.8% compound annual rate since 1994. Additionally, according to Sports
Trend, a trade publication, in 1998 the top five U.S.-based sporting goods
specialty retailers, excluding mass merchandisers, accounted for only $6.6
billion of total industry sales, demonstrating the highly fragmented nature of
the sporting goods retail market. According to the Sporting Goods Manufacturers
Association, the number of people who actively participate in sports, fitness
and outdoor activities grew 19% from 68.5 million in 1987 to 81.6 million in
1996. We believe that the sporting goods industry will continue to benefit from
the continued growth in participation and interest in sports, recreation,
health, fitness and outdoor activities.
Limitations of the Traditional Sporting Goods Retail Channel. The
traditional sporting goods retail channel is fragmented, including mass
merchant retailers and discount stores, regional or national chain stores,
local specialty shops and mail order catalogers. Mass merchant retailers and
discount stores often offer
39
<PAGE>
attractive pricing. However, they typically offer only a limited selection of
each brand's products and lack trained, knowledgeable sales people. Local and
regional chain stores often have a broader line of branded products, but lack
extensive product knowledge at the individual store level. Specialty stores
such as golf and ski shops may offer better customer service, but with higher
prices and a narrower selection. Mail order catalogers typically focus on one
sport category, and are limited by catalog space constraints in offering either
extensive selection or in-depth product information. As a result of these
factors, we believe that the traditional retail channel for sporting goods
fails to satisfy fully consumers' desire for selection, product information,
expert advice, personalized service and convenience.
We believe that, in addition to failing to fully satisfy the needs of the
customer, the traditional sporting goods retail channel presents significant
limitations for manufacturers. Traditional sporting goods retailers often do
not provide manufacturers global distribution or proper and consistent brand
merchandising and allow discounts below minimum advertised price policy. In
addition, traditional sporting goods retailers cannot offer manufacturers
unlimited shelf space, full product line presentation with high-quality product
information and extensive customer service with knowledgeable salespersons.
Similarly, traditional retailers offer manufacturers limited flexibility in how
a product is sold and presented directly to the consumer.
Taken together, we believe that these factors serve to make the traditional
retail sporting goods experience inefficient and inconvenient for both
customers and manufacturers.
The Fogdog Sports Solution
We have designed our online store to offer an extensive product selection,
detailed product information and other value-added services to address the
limitations of the traditional sporting goods retail channel for customers and
manufacturers. With up to 60,000 distinct stock keeping units representing more
than 500 brands, we believe we offer a broader product selection and more
sporting goods categories than many of the largest, brick and mortar retailers.
Our online store is designed to provide customers with a convenient and
enjoyable shopping experience through a collection of specialty shops for
popular sporting goods categories. Our exclusive focus on sporting goods and
commitment to excellent customer service enable us to effectively address the
needs and desires of our customers. In order to further deploy our solution, we
have entered into a strategic relationship with Nike which will allow us to
offer Nike's generally available product lines, present product information and
give us advance availability of selected, newly released Nike products. The key
components of our solution include:
Specialty Shops Featuring Extensive Product Selection. We offer a broad
range of product lines in a wide variety of sports in order to make Fogdog
Sports a "one-stop-shop." Most of our products, representing 30 different
sports, are featured in nine specialty shops and four brand concept shops. This
presentation gives manufacturers an opportunity to merchandise their entire
product lines and maintain brand identity and pricing. Our specialty shops
feature soccer, outdoor, baseball, golf, tennis and racquet sports, football,
fan/memorabilia and other categories and provide useful information and expert
advice to help customers make product selections. Each shop offers equipment,
apparel and accessories designed to appeal to avid enthusiasts and occasional
participants. For example, our soccer shop features soccer cleats, protective
equipment, balls, uniforms, shorts, tops, cross training shoes, pants, tights,
warm-ups, athletic tape, socks, equipment bags and other goods. Because we
believe that our customers tend to participate in several sports, a positive
shopping experience in one specialty shop may encourage shopping in our other
specialty shops.
Value-Added Shopping Services. We offer helpful services to assist our
customers with their purchasing decisions, including:
. Detailed Product Information, Guides and Comparison Charts. Fogdog.com
features extensive information on products, including product
descriptions, high-quality product pictures, technical specifications
and the intended product use descriptions. Our web site's technology
allows the user to zoom in on selected products to view construction,
materials and other product details. To further aid consumers in finding
the right product for their specific needs, our staff of experts writes
product
40
<PAGE>
guides which incorporate manufacturers' data and are intended to help
consumers learn about various product features, sizing and fit
information and other relevant information to know before purchasing.
Our experts research the products and summarize the information in easy-
to-read comparison charts.
. Brand Concept Shops. In addition to our specialty shops, we offer brand
shops devoted exclusively to selected high-end brands for customers
loyal to a particular brand. Created in conjunction with top brand
manufacturers, such as Callaway and Moving Comfort, these shops surround
the customer with in-depth information, broad selection and the "look
and feel" consistent with the manufacturers' product merchandising.
These shops are accessible from our home page and from our specialty
shops.
. Advice and Product Recommendations by Recognized Sports Experts. We
offer information to help customers select the right product for their
sports needs. We have a staff of world-class athletes, notable equipment
experts and recognized sports journalists who write product articles for
the site, respond to customer emails, answer customer service questions
and recommend products as "Fogdog Picks," chosen for their features and
value. We also host bulletin board sessions in which our expert staff
shares ideas with visitors to our web site.
. Consumer Reviews. To further enhance the site experience and to increase
involvement in our online sporting community, we encourage customers to
offer their personal reviews of any product available on the site. Our
customers review products on a five-star rating scale. We moderate the
reviews for appropriate language and user authenticity. To encourage
reviews, recent shoppers at fogdog.com receive a follow-up email
generally within three weeks after their purchase, which inquires about
the overall shopping experience and asks the customer to submit a review
of the purchased products. This email also serves as an opportunity for
cross selling of additional related products.
. My Fogdog. To provide a more personalized shopping experience, we have
developed an environment for registered users of the site known as "My
Fogdog." Every registered user of fogdog.com is greeted by name on the
home page and is offered a link into a customized area focusing on the
individual's product interests and buying history. This area includes
merchandised items that are specific to that individual's interests,
targeted promotions and links to our online order history and tracking
system which enables customers to check order status and reorder more
easily. Registered My Fogdog users are able to receive product offers
that are relevant to their sports preferences, check-out faster with
"Express Shopper" which stores shipping and credit card information,
gain access to special items and promotions and reorder items easily.
Convenient Shopping Experience. Our online store provides customers with an
easy-to-use web site. Fogdog.com is available 24 hours a day, seven days a
week and may be reached from the shopper's home or office. Our online store
enables us to deliver a broad selection of products to customers who do not
have convenient access to physical stores. Our "Power Search" technology
allows customers to locate products more efficiently based on user-defined
criteria such as shoe size, gender, product category and manufacturer.
Commitment to Excellent Customer Service. We emphasize customer service
during all phases of the customer's online shopping experience. Our staff
includes sports consultants who are hired for their broad knowledge of
athletics, sports products and training to assist customers in their
purchasing decisions. To ensure that our staff receives ongoing information on
product features and functionality, we offer training sessions sponsored by
key manufacturers. Our consultants, together with our in-house staff, provide
free pre- and post-sales support via both email and toll-free telephone
service during extended business hours. Once a customer places an order, that
customer can view order-tracking information on our web site or contact our
customer service department to obtain the status of the order and, when
necessary, resolve order and product questions. Furthermore, our web site
contains extensive information for first-time and repeat visitors, including
helpful hints in searching for, selecting, ordering and returning our
products. If the purchased product does not satisfy the customer, we offer an
unconditional, 45-day money-back return policy. If customers are unable to
find a product, they can submit a form asking the "Fogdog Search Squad" to
find it for them. The Fogdog Search
41
<PAGE>
Squad are members of our customer service staff who locate and ship hard-to-
find products for customers. This service addresses our customers' desire for a
single trusted source for sporting goods.
Network of Fulfillment Partners. We believe the Fogdog Sports solution
simplifies the order fulfillment process in the complex and highly fragmented
sporting goods industry. We have developed proprietary technologies and
implemented a fulfillment system that utilizes two third-party warehouses,
distributors, converted catalogers and direct shipping from select
manufacturers to support and secure reliable online retailing. We believe that
our distribution network provides us with competitive advantages in offering
our customers and partners an efficient and cost-effective order fulfillment
solution. The use of this network is transparent to the customer and allows us
to effectively manage the distribution process and deliver products to the
customer in Fogdog Sports packaging.
Growth Strategy
The Fogdog Sports vision is to reinvent the sporting goods industry by
providing customers with a new value proposition of selection, information and
service. Our goal is to be the world's leading sporting goods retailer. Key
elements of our growth strategy are to:
Build Brand Recognition. We intend to establish the Fogdog brand as the
first global brand for retail sporting goods and in the process build consumer
trust, confidence and loyalty. We believe that through a compelling shopping
experience and aggressive advertising and promotional activities, we can
continue to build awareness for Fogdog. We are targeting a broad base of
customers who are passionate about their sports, from the avid enthusiast to
the occasional participant. A compelling site experience reinforces the brand
promise that fogdog.com is the "ultimate sports store" and "your anytime,
anywhere sports store." We use a combination of traditional and online
marketing strategies to maximize our brand recognition:
. Television, Radio, Print and Outdoor Advertising. We intend to continue
to use a mix of traditional media to build awareness for the Fogdog
brand, relying primarily on cable and broadcast TV. We plan to focus our
TV advertising on high-profile, national cable and broadcast television
networks to associate Fogdog Sports with the active sporting lifestyle.
In addition, we intend to continue to use radio, print and outdoor
advertising to reach potential customers, particularly in markets with
high Internet use.
. Online Advertising. We intend to continue to establish relationships
with major online services and Internet shopping portals to target
active online sporting goods shoppers. For example, we have entered into
a marketing agreement with America Online, and we also have agreements
with WebTV Networks, Inc., GO Network, Snap! and Women.com for prominent
positioning in their online shopping areas. We advertise on these sites
as well as sites of other major online portals, including Excite, HotBot
and MSN.com. We also advertise on Yahoo! with over 8,000 Fogdog products
available through the Yahoo! shopping area. We intend to continue to
maintain high visibility on major web sites and portals.
. Affiliate Network. We have agreements with numerous web sites which we
refer to as "affiliates." We believe our affiliates program is one of
the largest among major online retail web sites. Affiliates direct
traffic to our web site, and we offer affiliates a commission on
resulting sales. We intend to expand our affiliates program to continue
to draw customers to our web site.
. Promotions, Events and Sponsorships. We have a program of sponsoring
high profile, local sporting events, such as the Hi-Tec Adventure Racing
Series and the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. We intend to continue to
expand our sponsorship programs in order to build credibility with and
recognition by athletes.
Promote Repeat Purchases. We are focused on promoting customer loyalty and
building relationships with our customers to drive repeat sales. To accomplish
this strategy, we strive to provide quality customer service seven days per
week, ship products promptly and for a low cost and provide an easy-to-shop
online retail environment. We also employ technology which targets returning
customers and makes specific offers to
42
<PAGE>
them based on the customers' purchase history, sports preferences and shopping
behavior. We intend to continue to build features that will enhance loyalty,
provide offerings unique to each individual customer and continually strive to
enhance our customer service. In addition, we intend to expand our direct,
online marketing by delivering meaningful information and special offers to our
customers.
Expand Specialty Shops. We have created a collection of specialty shops
within our online store, and we intend to provide additional shops organized by
sport or brand. We anticipate adding five to ten of these specialty shops
during the next twelve months, including shops focused on "action sports" such
as snowboarding and wakeboarding, hockey, water sports and Nike products. We
design these shops to be destination sites for sports enthusiasts by including
top branded products, extensive product information and superior customer
service. We intend to further enhance our specialty shops by offering the best
of a traditional offline specialty shop in service and information along with
the best product selection for all sports across top brands.
Maximize Product Selection and Fulfillment Capabilities. We intend to employ
a three-part strategy so that we can sell and deliver the broadest possible
array of top branded products to our customers. We believe that our focus on
product availability and use of multiple fulfillment partners and channels will
enable us to increase our margins while serving a rapidly expanding customer
base. Our strategy is to:
. Expand Fulfillment Network. We plan to augment our network of partners
that manage inventory, shipping, warehousing and general purchasing, as
well as our relationships with manufacturers that ship directly to
customers. We believe the strength of our fulfillment network provides a
competitive advantage by increasing product availability without
exposing us to all of the inventory risk of a traditional retailer.
. Extend Brand Relationships. We currently buy products directly from
numerous sporting goods manufacturers with well-known consumer brands.
We intend to continue to develop relationships with top brand
manufacturers to secure the highest level of premium product inventory
available. We also plan to continuously improve our relationships and
the efficiency of our interactions with these key vendors by
incorporating brand and product information into our site, and by
featuring certain brands within brand concept shops. Our strategic
relationship with Nike will give us access to all Nike brands including
Jordan, Bauer, Nike ACG, Nike Golf and Nike Team Sports.
. Augment Distribution Technology and Expertise. We have developed a broad
range of technologies to integrate our web site and other systems
directly with the systems of our fulfillment partners. We plan to
leverage and expand our technical expertise to increase this
integration. We also have built and will continue to enhance a team
devoted to executing our warehousing, inventory management, buying and
merchandising activities to ensure superior product selection.
Enhance and Form Strategic Relationships. We have strategic relationships
with Nike, America Online and Keystone Fulfillment. We intend to leverage our
strategic relationships in order to provide us with competitive advantages in
merchandising, marketing and distributing our products. For example, we believe
our strategic relationship with Nike will allow us to offer the broadest
possible product selection of the leading sporting goods brand. Under the
agreement, we will have access to Nike's generally available product lines and
advance product availability for selected, newly released products. In
addition, we intend to leverage our relationships with major online services
and Internet shopping portals such as AOL to provide us with key positioning in
online sporting goods shopping areas. We intend to augment our distribution
capabilities through agreements with third parties, such as our agreement with
Keystone Fulfillment, which provides outsourced inventory management,
warehousing and shipping services. We intend to continue to pursue strategic
relationships that allow us to further develop our business.
Expand Internationally. Although to date we have focused on the United
States, we believe that growth in sales of sporting goods outside of the United
States will represent additional market opportunities for us.
To take advantage of these opportunities, we intend to replicate our business
model and build our brand name
43
<PAGE>
in selected international markets with appropriate demographics and market
characteristics. For example, we have opened an office in London to serve as a
launching point for our European operations.
The Fogdog Sports Store
We designed our online retail store to be a destination site for sports
enthusiasts from the avid enthusiast to the occasional participant. We believe
our online store is well organized, attractive and easy to use, and offers
customers an enjoyable shopping experience. The look and feel of our web site
is action-oriented, and navigation is user-friendly and consistent throughout.
All of our product pages are "three clicks" from our home page, allowing
customers to find and purchase products easily. A consumer shopping on our web
site can, in addition to ordering products, browse the different specialty
shops, conduct targeted searches by product or brand, view recommended
products, participate in promotions and check order status.
Specialty Shops
We categorize many of our products into different specialty shops, including
soccer, baseball, golf, outdoor, and others. Within each shop, products are
organized by brand, such as Nike and Callaway, by department, such as footwear,
apparel and equipment, and by our recommendations, which we call "bestsellers"
and "Fogdog Picks." Each shop has helpful product information and many feature
tips from a site expert with extensive knowledge about the right gear for
specific sports. The following is a summary of our current specialty shops:
Soccer. We offer an extensive selection of soccer footwear, apparel, and
equipment, with key brands such as adidas, Kappa, Nike, Puma and Umbro. Our
soccer shop includes a Power Search feature, which allows customers to search
all soccer products for available in-stock merchandise in their size. Our on-
site expert provides advice on soccer cleat selection and evaluates equipment.
The soccer shop features a technology report with information on the way
different manufacturers design their cleats, along with a special section on
"What the Pros Wear," where customers can click directly to purchase products
worn by professional athletes.
Outdoor. The outdoor shop features an extensive selection of products for
hiking, climbing, mountaineering and other outdoor activities from
manufacturers such as Hi-Tec, Kelty, Nike ACG, The North Face and Sierra
Designs. Our outdoor shop expert provides helpful information in areas such as
camping and back packing, as well as detailed product reviews. We also feature
a bulletin board service where customers can post questions about products and
sports activities. We offer an extensive product information resource online,
with comparison charts for items such as backpacks, tents and sleeping bags.
Baseball. We believe that we offer the largest selection of baseball
equipment available on the Internet. We also provide a comprehensive selection
of apparel and footwear, including such key brands as Easton, Louisville
Slugger, Mizuno, Nike, Rawlings and Wilson. In our baseball shop, customers can
use a bat configurator that takes input on the individual's height, weight and
league type and chooses an appropriate selection of product. This shop will
have regular equipment reviews by our staff journalists.
Golf. The golf shop offers golf equipment, apparel and footwear including
brands such as Adams, Callaway, Nike Golf, Orlimar, Spalding and Taylor Made.
This shop features a Callaway brand golf shop, with information on how to
select Callaway clubs, what they are made of and how they are designed. We
worked closely with Callaway to develop the content of this area and the shop
offers the entire line of Callaway products. The golf shop also includes an
area called "What's in the Bag," which shows what professional golfers carry on
the course.
Tennis & Racquet Sports. The tennis and racquet shop includes a wide
selection of tennis equipment, footwear and apparel from top manufacturers such
as Head, Penn, Pro Kennex and Wilson. The tennis racquet shop also offers a
racquet configurator which gives customers the ability to customize their
racquets with their desired grip, string and stringing tension, which generally
ship the same day the order is placed.
44
<PAGE>
Football. The football shop serves a range of players from the recreational,
weekend participant to the serious league player. We offer the merchandise
necessary to outfit a player and/or team including pads, helmets, guards and
braces, from leading manufacturers such as Bike, Nike, Pony, Rawlings and
Wilson.
Fan/Memorabilia. Our fan/memorabilia shop is designed to outfit fans with
apparel and souvenirs from their favorite teams and players. We help fans of a
specific league, player or team find the products that support their teams. The
shop includes products licensed from NCAA collegiate athletics, the National
Football League, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association,
the National Hockey League, Major League Soccer and international soccer teams.
The shop also carries vintage era replicas and other related sports memorabilia
such as autographed photos.
Fitness & Health. Our fitness and health shop is an extensive collection of
products and content associated with general fitness. Our fitness shop offers
Avia, Champion, Fitness Quest, Harbinger, Hind and Moving Comfort. The shop
features advice on exercise, apparel selection and nutrition tips.
Team. We believe that Fogdog Sports is the first and currently the only
online retailer to offer custom uniforms and volume discounts for teams. Our
team sales shop enables the team buyer to design custom uniforms and place the
entire order online. We feature a large in-stock selection of uniforms, and we
are able to ship most orders the same day, with a five to seven day turnaround
for custom orders as compared to three to four weeks for most traditional team
dealers.
Shopping At Our Store
Customers navigate our online store through our simple, intuitive and easy-
to-use web site. Our goal is to make the shopping process as easy as possible
for customers. Users accessing our online store generally fall into two
categories: individuals who want to purchase a particular product immediately
in a highly convenient manner, and individuals who browse the store, seeking an
entertaining and informative shopping experience. We designed our online store
to satisfy both types of users in a simple, intuitive fashion.
Browsing and Comparing. Our web site offers visitors a variety of
highlighted subject areas and special features arranged in a simple, easy-to-
use format intended to enhance product search, selection and discovery. By
clicking on the permanently displayed specialty shop names, the consumer moves
directly to the home page of the desired shop and can quickly view promotions
and featured products. On our web site customers can find detailed product
information, including expert reviews of a product, how to use the product and
how to care for it. Customers can use a quick keyword search or search by brand
in order to locate a specific product. They can also execute more sophisticated
searches based on pre-selected criteria depending upon the department. In
addition, customers can browse our online store by linking to specially
designed pages dedicated to products from key national and specialty brands. We
provide product information in tabular form across brands and stock keeping
units for easy comparison of features and benefits.
Customization and Personalization. We use configurators which we call the
"Fogdog Fetch" to identify merchandise unique to a customer's sport
requirements and interests. We also cross-sell merchandise to customers based
on what they have identified as their sport preferences in My Fogdog, what they
have added to their shopping basket during the checkout process and what they
have purchased. Our Fogdog Power Search tool also enables customers to search
for products in some of our shops based on size and brand preferences.
Selecting a Product and Checking Out. To purchase products, customers simply
click on the "add to basket" button to add products to their virtual shopping
cart. Customers can add and subtract products from their shopping cart as they
browse around our store prior to making a final purchase decision, just as in a
traditional store. Our web site is updated through the direct uploading of
supply information from distributors to remove products that are out of stock.
To execute orders, customers click on the "checkout" button and,
45
<PAGE>
depending upon whether the customer has previously shopped with us, are
prompted to supply shipping details online. We also offer customers a variety
of shipping options during the checkout process. Prior to finalizing an order
by clicking the "submit order" button, customers are shown their total charges
along with the various options chosen at which point customers still have the
ability to change their order or cancel it entirely.
Paying. To pay for orders, a customer must use a gift certificate or credit
card, which is authorized during the checkout process, but which is charged
when the product is shipped. Our web site uses a security technology that works
with the most common Internet browsers. Our system automatically confirms
receipt of each order via email within minutes and notifies the customer when
the order is shipped, typically within one to two business days for in-stock
items. We also offer our customers an unconditional, 45-day money-back return
policy. Repeat customers can use an "Express Checkout" feature in which
customer data and payment information is automatically entered into our system.
Getting Help. From every page of our web site, a customer can click on a
"help" button to go to our customer service area. The customer service area of
our web site contains extensive information for first-time and repeat visitors.
In this area, we assist customers in searching for, shopping for, ordering and
returning our products as well as provide information on our low price
guarantee, shipping charges and other policies. In addition, we provide
customers with answers to the most frequently asked questions and encourage our
visitors to send us feedback and suggestions via email. Furthermore, customer
service agents are available to answer questions about products and the
shopping process during extended business hours via our toll-free number, which
is displayed in the customer service area of our web site.
Promotional Area. Through our promotional area, which is located on the
Fogdog Sports home page, we offer products that tie into recent sporting events
or seasonal themes. For example, we offered soccer jerseys and equipment
following the Women's World Cup, golf equipment and apparel to tie into the
U.S. Open, and backpacks in time for back to school. Customers can also
purchase gift certificates from us in any denomination. We keep each customer's
gift certificate balance on record on the site.
Marketing
We have implemented an aggressive advertising and marketing campaign to
increase awareness of the Fogdog brand. We plan to acquire new customers
through multiple channels, including traditional and online advertising, direct
marketing and expansion and strengthening of our strategic relationships. We
intend to use a significant portion of the net proceeds from this offering to
continue to pursue advertising and marketing campaigns. Our marketing strategy
is designed to:
. build global brand recognition;
. differentiate and build a unique positioning for Fogdog Sports in the
marketplace;
. increase consumer traffic to our web site;
. acquire new customers;
. build strong customer loyalty;
. emphasize a one-on-one relationship with our customers;
. maximize repeat purchases; and
. develop additional ways to increase our net sales.
Positioning and Branding Strategy. We aggressively seek to brand the Fogdog
online experience at every customer touch point, including advertising,
promotions, site experience, packaging and delivery. We seek to position Fogdog
Sports as the trusted online sports store built for people who "live to play
sports" with a selection of top brands, information and expertise. We target a
broad range of customers in active lifestyle households. Our primary
demographic focus is on active sports participants, male and female.
46
<PAGE>
Advertising Mix. To build brand awareness, the primary elements of our
marketing mix include cable and network television, broad reach online
services, such as AOL, and Web shopping portals. We also employ targeted radio,
print and outdoor media campaigns in specific markets during key sporting goods
shopping seasons. We believe that through a sustained national TV campaign, we
can drive consistent growth in awareness, and reach a broad audience of active
sports participants with high-impact creative advertising. Our TV media plan
includes advertising during major cable and network sports programming and
events. We have also secured agreements with leading shopping portals, with
positioning in sporting goods shopping areas. For example, under our agreement
with AOL, we are a "Shopping Anchor" in two of the four AOL sports shopping
areas. We also have agreements with WebTV, GO Network, Snap! and Women.com for
prominent positioning in their online shopping areas. In addition, we advertise
on Yahoo! with over 8,000 Fogdog products available through the Yahoo! shopping
area.
Under our contracts with Internet portals and online service providers, we
typically pay a fixed dollar amount in exchange for placement of an enlarged
icon in high traffic areas of their sites. These agreements are generally for a
fixed term of one to two years. For example, under our agreement with AOL, we
have an "anchor" position providing prominent placement in the camping and
outdoor fitness and sports sections of AOL Shopping for the next two years. AOL
guarantees a minimum number of user impressions of our material through AOL's
online service or AOL.com.
Affiliate Network. We believe we maintain one of the leading affiliate
programs on the Web, extending the reach of our brand and drawing customers
from a variety of sports and general content sites. This program provides a
low-cost means of acquiring customers by providing a sales commission of
between 10% and 20% to affiliate partners.
Promotions, Events and Sponsorships. We sponsor multiple events to build
credibility with and recognition by athletes and sports enthusiasts, including
the Hi-Tec Adventure Racing Series, an extreme type of triathlon, Let it Fly
Football, a football program that has attracted more than 50,000 participants
and triathlons such as the recent Escape from Alcatraz triathlon in San
Francisco. Promotions on the site, such as a free gym bag with purchase and the
chance to win a Volkswagen Jetta loaded with sports gear, are designed to
encourage consumers to try our service. We have also offered sports-related
sweepstakes to win baseball gloves, soccer gear, adventure trips and trips to
baseball spring training.
Loyalty, Retention and Personalization. We believe that we are building a
loyal base of customers through a total shopping experience which emphasizes
customer service and marketing incentive programs. For example, we communicate
with prospective customers through email campaigns and with customers through
follow-up emails. In addition, through My Fogdog, we collect relevant
information from registered customers that allow us to market more specifically
to each customer's interest. Each registered member of My Fogdog has access to
special product offerings, promotions and targeted offers, which we believe
helps build loyalty.
Distribution Strategy and Operations
Our strategy for delivering our products to our customers is to focus on
obtaining products through authorized distribution channels while maximizing
customer selection and product availability. Inventory available to us is
either reserved for our customers, shared with other partners or purchased for
our account. Our shared and reserved inventory partners include distributors,
manufacturers and catalogers who purchase and inventory products and then make
products available for sale on our web site. These partners ship products
directly to our customers from these partners using our packaging and shipping
materials, so that customers only interact with the Fogdog brand throughout the
order and delivery process. Our purchased inventory is held at two third-party
distribution centers for processing, packaging and shipment to customers. The
shipment of products directly from our distributors, manufacturers and
catalogers to our customers reduces the level of inventory we are required to
carry. We generally handle merchandise returns ourselves. We are currently
evaluating various alternatives to expand the capacity of our distribution
system.
47
<PAGE>
We use technology to optimize the exchange of information between Fogdog,
our third party distribution centers and our distribution partners, so that we
can properly set customer expectations about product availability and delivery
dates. Our distribution, engineering and logistics teams work with our partners
and third-party warehouses to manage and monitor order accuracy, fulfillment
rate, shipment speed, and overall delivery reliability and timeliness. We
measure performance through daily reports, frequent on-site visits with
partners and our warehouses and quarterly reviews. The following diagram
illustrates our distribution system:

Merchandising
Merchandising. Our merchandising strategy is to provide a broad assortment
of quality equipment, athletic footwear and apparel at prices that meet those
of leading sporting goods retailers. Our web site, particularly in our
specialty and brand shops, offers a core selection of brand name merchandise
complemented by a selection of accessories and related products designed to
enable enthusiasts to have a quality shopping experience. Our leading product
category is sporting equipment, followed by apparel and athletic footwear. No
single product category accounts for more than 50% of sales.
48
<PAGE>
Brand Name Merchandise. We emphasize quality brand name merchandise. We
believe that the breadth of our brand name merchandise selection generally
exceeds the merchandise selection carried by traditional, store-based
competitors. Many of these branded products are technical and our customers
benefit from extensive product information and sales assistance. We work with
manufacturers to obtain product information and educate the sports consultants
we keep on staff on the latest features and trends.
Strategic Relationship with Nike. We expect that our relationship with Nike
will provide us with an extensive selection of high quality branded products.
Under the terms of our agreement, subject to agreed upon exceptions, Nike will
not sell its products to any other "Internet only" account through March 2000.
In addition, we will have access to all of Nike's generally available product
lines, including Jordan, Bauer, Nike ACG, Nike Golf and Nike Team Sports. Our
agreement also allows us advance availability and return rights for selected
products. Under the agreement, Nike and its affiliates are not legally
obligated to sell us any quantity of product or deliver on any particular
schedule.
Purchasing. Our merchandising manager and merchandise buyers analyze current
sporting goods trends by maintaining close relationships with our
manufacturers, monitoring sales at competing stores, studying specialized data
about traffic to our web site and reviewing industry trade publications.
Customer Service
We believe that a high level of customer service and support is critical to
retaining and expanding our customer base. First, our web site is designed to
help answer many questions customers might have in selecting products. Our
customer service representatives are available seven days a week to provide
assistance via email or telephone. We strive to answer all customer inquiries
within 24 hours. Sports consultants on our customer service team are hired for
their extensive knowledge and background in athletics and sporting goods. Their
backgrounds include experience as athletes, coaches and working for sporting
goods manufacturers and retailers. The combination of specific sport and
category understanding, knowledge of products and their use, and technical
capabilities enable them to guide our customers in making an informed product
selection. Our sports consultants also handle questions about orders, assist
customers in finding desired products and register customers' credit card
information over the telephone. We generally allow returns for any reason
within 45 days of the sale for a full refund. Further, if a customer cannot
find a product on our site, we provide the Fogdog Search Squad, which helps
locate products primarily through our existing distribution channels. Our web
site also contains a customer service page that outlines store policies and
provides answers to frequently asked questions.
Technology
We have implemented a broad array of web site management, search, customer
interaction, distribution services and systems that we use to process
customers' orders and payments. These services and systems use a combination of
our own technologies and commercially available, licensed technologies and are
designed to be easily expanded to grow with our business. The systems that we
use to process customers' orders and payments are integrated with our
accounting and financial systems. We focus our internal development efforts on
creating and enhancing specialized software for our business. We use a set of
applications for:
. generating and running our web site;
. managing product data, including product details, inventory and pricing;
. accepting and validating customer orders;
. organizing, placing and managing orders with suppliers and partners; and
. capturing and analyzing customer information and trends.
Our systems are based on commercially available software and industry
standard protocols and have been designed to reduce downtime in the event of
outages or catastrophic occurrences. Our system hardware is hosted at a third-
party data center in Mountain View, California, which provides redundant
communications
49
<PAGE>
lines and emergency power backup. We have implemented load balancing systems
and our own redundant servers to provide for fault tolerance. System security
is managed by both internal staff as well as by security staff at our third-
party data center.
Government Regulation
We are not currently subject to direct federal, state or local regulation
other than regulations applicable to businesses generally or directly
applicable to retailing or electronic commerce. However, as the Internet
becomes increasingly popular, it is possible that a number of laws and
regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet. These laws may cover
issues such as user privacy, freedom of expression, pricing, content and
quality of products and services, taxation, advertising, intellectual property
rights and information security. Furthermore, the growth of electronic commerce
may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws. Several states
have proposed legislation to limit the uses of personal user information
gathered online or require online services to establish privacy policies. The
Federal Trade Commission has also initiated action against at least one online
service regarding the manner in which personal information is collected from
users and provided to third parties and has proposed regulations restricting
the collection and use of information from minors online. We do not currently
provide individual personal information regarding our users to third parties
and we currently do not identify registered users by age. However, the adoption
of additional privacy or consumer protection laws could create uncertainty in
Web usage and reduce the demand for our products and services or require us to
redesign our web site.
We are not certain how our business may be affected by the application of
existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyrights,
encryption and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel, obscenity,
qualification to do business and export or import matters. The vast majority of
these laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet. As a result, they
do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and related
technologies. Changes in laws intended to address these issues could create
uncertainty in the Internet marketplace. This uncertainty could reduce demand
for our services or increase the cost of doing business as a result of
litigation costs or increased service delivery costs.
Competition
The online commerce market is new, rapidly evolving and intensely
competitive. We expect competition to intensify in the future. Our primary
competitors are currently traditional national chain retailers of sporting
goods, including Venator Group, which operates Footlocker stores and Champs,
national chain retailers of outdoor equipment, such as REI, and national chain
retailers of athletic footwear, such as Just For Feet. We also compete against
traditional regional chain retailers of sporting goods, such as The Sports
Authority, Dick's Sporting Goods and Galyan's. Our competitors also include
major discount retailers, such as Wal-Mart, Kmart and Target, catalog retailers
and numerous local sporting goods or outdoor activities stores. In addition to
traditional store-based retailers, we compete with numerous online retailers.
Online retailers that we compete with include the online efforts of traditional
retailers such as Dick's, Copeland's and REI and manufacturers of sporting
goods that currently sell some of their products directly online, such as K-
Swiss and Patagonia. A number of major, store-based retailers have also
announced the formation of an online joint venture which we expect to compete
with in the future. In addition, we compete against Internet portal sites and
online service providers that either offer or feature shopping services, such
as AOL, Yahoo!, Excite@Home, GO Network and Lycos. We also compete against
other online retailers that include sporting goods as part of their product
lines, such as Buy.com, Onsale and Value America. In addition, sports-oriented
web sites such as ESPN.com and CBS Sportsline offer sporting goods and fan
memorabilia over the Web, and we expect greater competition from these web
sites in the future. Finally, we compete with other retailers selling sporting
goods exclusively online, many of which sell products in only one or a few
sports categories.
We believe that we compete primarily on the basis of recognition of the
brands we offer on our web site, the breadth of our product offerings, the
amount of product information provided to customers, convenience of the
shopping experience and price. Particularly with online retailers, we compete
on the basis of speed and
50
<PAGE>
accessibility of our web site, quality of site content, customer service and
reliability and speed of order shipment. Although we believe we compete
favorably with both traditional, store-based retailers and our online
competitors, our market is relatively new and is evolving rapidly. We may not
be able to maintain our competitive position against current and potential
competitors, especially those with significantly greater financial, marketing,
service, support, technical and other resources.
Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, significantly
greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, significantly
greater name recognition and more traffic to their web sites. In addition, many
of our competitors have well-established relationships with manufacturers and
more extensive knowledge about our industry. It is possible that new
competitors or alliances among competitors will emerge in the future.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims
arising out of our ordinary course of business. We believe that there are no
claims or actions pending or threatened against us, the ultimate disposition of
which would have a materially adverse effect on us.
Intellectual Property
We rely on various intellectual property laws and contractual restrictions
to protect our proprietary rights in services and technology. These include
confidentiality, invention assignment and nondisclosure agreements with
employees, contractors, suppliers and strategic partners. Despite these
precautions, it may be possible for a third-party to copy or otherwise obtain
and use our intellectual property without our authorization. In addition, we
pursue the registration of our trademarks and service marks in the U.S. and
internationally. However, effective intellectual property protection may not be
available in every country in which our services are made available online. Our
trademarks and service marks include Fogdog, Fogdog with the accompanying
design and the Fogdog logo.
We rely on technologies that we license from third parties. These licenses
may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms in the
future. As a result, we may be required to obtain substitute technology of
lower quality or at greater cost, which could materially adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
We do not believe that our technologies infringe the proprietary rights of
third parties. However, third parties have in the past and may in the future
claim that our business or technologies infringe their rights. We expect that
participants in our markets will be increasingly subject to infringement claims
as the number of services and competitors in our industry segment grows. Any
such claim, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly
litigation, cause service upgrade delays or require us to enter into royalty or
licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements might not be
available on terms acceptable to us or at all. As a result, any such claim of
infringement against us could have a material adverse effect upon our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
Employees
As of June 30, 1999, we had 70 full-time employees. None of our employees is
represented by a labor union. We have not experienced any work stoppages and
consider our employee relations to be good.
Facilities
Our corporate offices are located in Redwood City, California, where we
lease 32,000 square feet under a lease that expires in July 2004. We believe
our existing facilities are adequate to meet our needs for at least the next 12
months.

Board of Directors
We currently have authorized ten directors. Following this offering, our
board will consist of ten directors divided into three classes, with each class
serving for a term of three years. At each annual meeting of stockholders,
directors will be elected by the holders of common stock to succeed the
directors whose terms are expiring. Messrs. Maxfield, Gibbons and Huff are
Class I directors whose terms will expire in 2000, Messrs. Ruth, Packard,
Clarke and Allsop are Class II directors whose terms will expire in 2001 and
Messrs. Harrington, Rothrock and Parks are Class III directors whose terms will
expire in 2002. This classification of the board of directors may delay or
prevent a change in control of our company or in our management. See
"Description of Capital Stock--Antitakeover Effects of Provisions of the
Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Delaware Law."
Board Committees
We have established an audit committee composed of independent directors
that reviews and supervises our financial controls, including the selection of
our auditors, reviews our books and accounts, meets with our officers regarding
our financial controls, acts upon recommendations of our auditors and takes
further actions as the audit committee deems necessary to complete an audit of
our books and accounts, as well as other matters that may come before it or as
directed by the board. The audit committee currently consists of three
directors, Messrs. Gibbons, Rothrock and Packard.
We have also established a compensation committee that reviews and approves
the compensation and benefits for our executive officers, administers our stock
plans and performs other duties as may from time to time be determined by the
board. The compensation committee currently consists of three directors,
Messrs. Maxfield, Ruth and Huff.
Director Compensation
We currently do not compensate any non-employee member of the board.
Directors who are also employees do not receive additional compensation for
serving as directors.
Under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, non-employee directors will receive
automatic option grants upon becoming directors and on the date of each annual
meeting of stockholders. The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan also contains a director
fee option grant program. Should this program be activated in the future, each
non-employee board member will have the opportunity to apply all or a portion
of any annual retainer fee otherwise payable in cash to the acquisition of an
option with an exercise price below the then fair market value. Non-employee
directors will be eligible to receive discretionary option grants and direct
stock issuance, under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan. See "Management--Benefit
Plans."

<PAGE>
In August 1999, we granted Mr. Parks an option to purchase 40,000 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $0.88 per share, vesting in annual
installments over a four-year period measured from the option grant date.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of our compensation committee members is an employee of or ever was an
employee of Fogdog Sports. Messrs. Huff and Rothrock, who serve on our
compensation committee, are affiliated with two of our significant
stockholders. See "Transactions and Relationships with Related Parties." None
of our executive officers serves on the board of directors or compensation
committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a
member of our board or our compensation committee.
Executive Officers
Our executive officers are appointed by and serve at the discretion of our
board of directors. There are no family relationships among any of our
directors, officers or key employees.

In 1998, we granted options to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,913,000
shares to employees, directors and consultants under our Amended and Restated
1996 Stock Option Plan at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of our
common stock on the date of grant, as determined in good faith by our board of
directors. Options granted are immediately exercisable in full, but any shares
purchased under these options that are not vested are subject to our right to
repurchase the shares at the shares' option exercise price. In general, this
repurchase right lapses as to 25% of the shares after one year of service and
as to the remaining shares in equal monthly installments over an additional
three-year period. However:
. the options granted to Mr. Harrington and Mr. Allsop vest in 48 equal
monthly installments; and
. 12,500 of the options granted to Mr. Chea vested on January 1, 1999 and
the remaining options vest in a series of 36 equal monthly installments
beginning on January 1, 1999.
The potential realizable value is calculated assuming the aggregate exercise
price on the date of grant appreciates at the indicated rate for the entire
term of the option and that the option is exercised and sold on the last day of
its term at the appreciated price. Stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% is
assumed pursuant to the rules of the Commission. We can give no assurance that
the actual stock price will appreciate over the term of the options at the
assumed 5% and 10% levels or at any other defined level. Actual gains, if any,
on stock option exercises will be dependent on the future performance of our
common stock. Unless the market price of the common stock appreciates over the
option term, no value will be realized from the option grants made to the named
executive officers.
In March 1999, we granted to the following named executive officers, options
to purchase up to the following numbers of shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $0.22 per share:
. Mr. Harrington received an option to purchase up to 800,000 shares of
common stock;
. Mr. Smith received an option to purchase up to 60,000 shares of common
stock;
. Ms. von Lossberg received an option to purchase up to 100,000 shares of
common stock;
. Mr. Allsop received an option to purchase up to 50,000 shares of common
stock; and
. Mr. Chea received an option to purchase up to 50,000 shares of common
stock.
The options are immediately exercisable, but any shares purchased under these
options that are not vested are subject to repurchase by us at the option
exercise price. This repurchase right lapses with respect to 25% of the shares
covered by each option on March 31, 2000 and lapses with respect to the
remaining shares in equal monthly installments over the 36-month period
following March 31, 2000. The options expire on March 30, 2004.

Benefit Plans
1999 Stock Incentive Plan
Introduction. Our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan is intended to serve as the
successor program to our Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Option Plan. The 1999
plan was adopted by our board in September 1999 and approved by our
stockholders in 1999. The 1999 plan will become effective
when the underwriting agreement for this offering is signed. At that time, all
outstanding options under our existing plan will be transferred to the 1999
plan, and no further option grants will be made under the prior plan. The
transferred options will continue to be governed by their existing terms,
unless our compensation committee decides to extend one or more features of the
1999 plan to those options. Except as otherwise noted below, the transferred
options have substantially the same terms as will be in effect for grants made
under the discretionary option grant program of our 1999 plan.
Share Reserve. shares of our common stock have been
authorized for issuance under the 1999 plan. This share reserve consists of the
number of shares we estimate will be carried over from the 1996 plan plus an
additional increase of shares. The share reserve under our 1999 plan will
automatically increase on the first trading day in January of each year from
2001 through 2005, by an amount equal to 3% of the total number of shares of
our common stock outstanding on the last trading day of December in the prior
year, but in no event will this annual increase exceed shares. In
addition, no participant in our 1999 plan may be granted stock options or
direct stock issuances for more than shares of common stock in total in any
calendar year.
Programs. Our 1999 plan has five separate programs:
. the discretionary option grant program, under which eligible individuals
in our employ may be granted options to purchase shares of our common
stock at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of those
shares on the grant date;
. the stock issuance program, under which eligible individuals may be
issued shares of our common stock that will vest upon the attainment of
performance milestones or upon the completion of a period of service or
that are fully vested at issuance as a bonus for past services;
. the salary investment option grant program, under which our executive
officers and other highly compensated employees may be given the
opportunity to apply a portion of their base salary to the acquisition
of special below market stock option grants;
58
<PAGE>
. the automatic option grant program, under which option grants will
automatically be made at periodic intervals to eligible non-employee
board members to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price
equal to the fair market value of those shares on the grant date; and
. the director fee option grant program, under which our non-employee
board members may be given the opportunity to apply a portion of any
retainer fee otherwise payable to them in cash for the year to the
acquisition of special below-market option grants.
Eligibility. The individuals eligible to participate in our 1999 plan
include our officers and other employees, our board members and any consultants
that we hire.
Administration. The discretionary option grant and stock issuance programs
will be administered by our compensation committee. This committee will
determine which eligible individuals are to receive option grants or stock
issuances under those programs, the time or times when the grants or issuances
are to be made, the number of shares subject to each grant or issuance, the
status of any granted option as either an incentive stock option or a
nonstatutory stock option under the federal tax laws, the vesting schedule to
be in effect for the option grant or stock issuance and the maximum term for
which any granted option is to remain outstanding. The compensation committee
will also have the authority to select the executive officers and other highly
compensated employees who may participate in the salary investment option grant
program if that program is put into effect for one or more calendar years.
Plan Features. Our 1999 plan will include the following features:
. The exercise price for any options granted under the plan may be paid in
cash or in shares of our common stock valued at fair market value on the
exercise date. The option may also be exercised through a same-day sale
program without any cash outlay by the optionee.
. The compensation committee will have the authority to cancel outstanding
options under the discretionary option grant program, including any
transferred options from our 1996 plan, in return for the grant of new
options for the same or different number of option shares with an
exercise price per share based upon the fair market value of our common
stock on the new grant date.
. Stock appreciation rights may be issued under the discretionary option
grant program. These rights will provide the holders with the election
to surrender their outstanding options for a payment from us equal to
the fair market value of the shares subject to the surrendered options
less the exercise price payable for those shares. We may make the
payment in cash or in shares of our common stock. None of the options
under our 1996 plan have any stock appreciation rights.
Change in Control. The 1999 plan will include the following change in
control provisions that may result in the accelerated vesting of outstanding
option grants and stock issuances:
. If we are acquired by merger or asset sale, each outstanding option
under the discretionary option grant program that is not to be assumed
by the successor corporation will immediately become exercisable for all
the option shares, and all outstanding unvested shares will immediately
vest, except to the extent our repurchase rights with respect to those
shares are to be assigned to the successor corporation.
. The compensation committee will have complete discretion to grant one or
more options that will become exercisable for all the option shares if
those options are assumed in the acquisition but the optionee's service
with us or the acquiring entity is subsequently terminated. The vesting
of any outstanding shares under our 1999 plan may be accelerated upon
similar terms and conditions.
. The compensation committee may grant options and structure repurchase
rights so that the shares subject to those options or repurchase rights
will immediately vest in connection with a successful tender offer for
more than fifty percent of our outstanding voting stock or a change in
the majority of our board through one or more contested elections. Such
accelerated vesting may occur either at the time of such transaction or
upon the subsequent termination of the individual's service.
59
<PAGE>
. Some options under our 1996 plan contain vesting acceleration features.
Certain of those options, however, contain an additional vesting
acceleration feature that will result in the immediate vesting of all or
part of those options upon an involuntary termination of the optionee's
employment within 18 months following an acquisition in which those
options are assumed.
Salary Investment Option Grant Program. If the compensation committee
decides to put this program into effect for one or more calendar years, each of
our executive officers and other highly compensated employees may elect to
reduce his or her base salary for the calendar year by an amount not less than
$10,000 nor more than $50,000. Each selected individual who makes such an
election will automatically be granted, on the first trading day in January of
the calendar year for which his or her salary reduction is to be in effect, an
option to purchase that number of shares of common stock determined by dividing
the salary reduction amount by two-thirds of the fair market value per share of
our common stock on the grant date. The option will have an exercise price per
share equal to one-third of the fair market value of the option shares on the
grant date. As a result, the option will be structured so that the fair market
value of the option shares on the grant date less the exercise price payable
for those shares will be equal to the amount of the salary reduction. The
option will become exercisable in a series of 12 equal monthly installments
over the calendar year for which the salary reduction is to be in effect.
Automatic Option Grant Program. Each individual who first becomes a non-
employee board member at any time after the effective date of this offering
will receive an option grant for 10,000 shares of common stock on the date such
individual joins the board. In addition, on the date of each annual
stockholders meeting held after the effective date of this offering, each non-
employee board member who is to continue to serve as a non-employee board
member, including each of our current non-employee board members, will
automatically be granted an option to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock,
provided such individual has served on the board for at least six months.
Each automatic grant will have an exercise price per share equal to the fair
market value per share of our common stock on the grant date and will have a
term of 10 years, subject to earlier termination following the optionee's
cessation of board service. The option will be immediately exercisable for all
of the option shares; however, we may repurchase, at the exercise price paid
per share, any shares purchased under the option that are not vested at the
time of the optionee's cessation of board service. The shares subject to each
initial 10,000-share automatic option grant will vest in a series of four
successive annual installments upon the optionee's completion of each year of
board service over the four year period measured from the grant date. The
shares subject to each annual 2,500-share automatic option grant will vest upon
the optionee's completion of one year of board service measured from the grant
date. However, the shares will immediately vest in full upon certain changes in
control or ownership or upon the optionee's death or disability while a board
member.
Director Fee Option Grant Program. If this program is put into effect in the
future, then each non-employee board member may elect to apply all or a portion
of any cash retainer fee for the year to the acquisition of a below-market
option grant. The option grant will automatically be made on the first trading
day in January in the year for which the non-employee board member would
otherwise be paid the cash retainer fee in the absence of his or her election.
The option will have an exercise price per share equal to one-third of the fair
market value of the option shares on the grant date, and the number of shares
subject to the option will be determined by dividing the amount of the retainer
fee applied to the program by two-thirds of the fair market value per share of
our common stock on the grant date. As a result, the option will be structured
so that the fair market value of the option shares on the grant date less the
exercise price payable for those shares will be equal to the portion of the
retainer fee applied to that option. The option will become exercisable in a
series of 12 equal monthly installments over the calendar year for which the
election is in effect. However, the option will become immediately exercisable
for all the option shares upon the death or disability of the optionee while
serving as a board member.
60
<PAGE>
Additional Program Features. Our 1999 plan will also have the following
features:
. Outstanding options under the salary investment and director fee option
grant programs will immediately vest if we are acquired by a merger or
asset sale or if there is a successful tender offer for more than 50% of
our outstanding voting stock or a change in the majority of our board
through one or more contested elections.
. Limited stock appreciation rights will automatically be included as part
of each grant made under the salary investment option grant program and
the automatic and director fee option grant programs, and these rights
may also be granted to one or more officers as part of their option
grants under the discretionary option grant program. Options with this
feature may be surrendered to us upon the successful completion of a
hostile tender offer for more than 50% of our outstanding voting stock.
In return for the surrendered option, the optionee will be entitled to a
cash distribution from us in an amount per surrendered option share
based upon the highest price per share of our common stock paid in that
tender offer.
. The board may amend or modify the 1999 plan at any time, subject to any
required stockholder approval. The 1999 plan will terminate no later
than September 2009.
1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Introduction. Our 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan was adopted by the board
in September 1999 and approved by the stockholders in 1999. The
plan will become effective immediately upon the signing of the underwriting
agreement for this offering. The plan is designed to allow our eligible
employees and the eligible employees of our participating subsidiaries to
purchase shares of our common stock, at semi-annual intervals, with their
accumulated payroll deductions.
Share Reserve. 500,000 shares of our common stock will initially be reserved
for issuance. The reserve will automatically increase on the first trading day
in January of each year from 2001 through 2005, by an amount equal to 1% of the
total number of outstanding shares of our common stock on the last trading day
in December in the prior year. In no event will any such annual increase exceed
shares.
Offering Periods. The plan will have a series of successive offering
periods, each with a maximum duration of 24 months. However, the initial
offering period will start on the date the underwriting agreement for the
offering is signed and will end on the last business day in January 2002. The
next offering period will start on the first business day in February 2002, and
subsequent offering periods will be set by our compensation committee.
Eligible Employees. Individuals scheduled to work more than 20 hours per
week for more than five calendar months per year may join an offering period on
the start date or any semi-annual entry date within that period. Semi-annual
entry dates will occur on the first business day of February and August each
year. Individuals who become eligible employees after the start date of an
offering period may join the plan on any subsequent semi-annual entry date
within that offering period.
Payroll Deductions. A participant may contribute up to 15% of his or her
cash earnings through payroll deductions, and the accumulated deductions will
be applied to the purchase of shares on each semi-annual purchase date. The
purchase price per share will be equal to 85% of the fair market value per
share on the participant's entry date into the offering period or, if lower,
85% of the fair market value per share on the semi-annual purchase date. Semi-
annual purchase dates will occur on the last business day of January and July
each year. The first purchase date will occur on the last business day of July
2000. In no event, however, may any participant purchase more than 750 shares
on any purchase date, and not more than 125,000 shares may be purchased in
total by all participants on any purchase date.
61
<PAGE>
Reset Feature. If the fair market value per share of our common stock on any
purchase date is less than the fair market value per share on the start date of
the two-year offering period, then that offering period will automatically
terminate, and a new two-year offering period will begin on the next business
day. All participants in the terminated offering will be transferred to the new
offering period.
Change in Control. Should we be acquired by merger or sale of substantially
all of our assets or more than 50% of our voting securities, then all
outstanding purchase rights will automatically be exercised immediately prior
to the effective date of the acquisition. The purchase price will be equal to
85% of the market value per share on the participant's entry date into the
offering period in which an acquisition occurs or, if lower, 85% of the fair
market value per share immediately prior to the acquisition.
Plan Provisions. The following provisions will also be in effect under the
plan:
. The plan will terminate no later than the last business day of July
2009.
. The board may at any time amend, suspend or discontinue the plan.
However, certain amendments may require stockholder approval.
Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment Arrangements and Change in
Control Arrangements
In December 1997, we entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Smith to serve
as our Vice President of Business Development and General Manager of Multi-
Brand Stores. Mr. Smith's base annualized salary for his services was $90,000.
Pursuant to the agreement, this base annualized salary was increased to
$135,000 when we completed a venture financing in June 1998. Additional terms
under the agreement are as follows.
. Mr. Smith received options to purchase up to 337,110 shares of our
common stock in December 1997. Of these options, 84,277 vested on July
1, 1997 and the remaining options are vesting in a series of 36 monthly
installments over the period of Mr. Smith's service measured from July
1, 1997. These options will vest in full if we complete an initial
public offering or if we are acquired. However, Mr. Smith will not
receive accelerated vesting in connection with an acquisition if the
acceleration would make the acquisition ineligible for selected
accounting treatment.
. Mr. Smith also received options to purchase up to 235,000 shares of our
common stock. Of these options, 58,750 vested on July 1, 1997, 58,750
vested upon our closing of a venture financing in June, 1998 and the
remaining options are vesting thereafter in a series of equal monthly
installments of 4,895 shares until July 1, 2000.
In June 1998, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Harrington to
serve as our President, Chief Operating Officer and a member of our board of
directors. Mr. Harrington's base salary for his services was initially $150,000
per year and was increased to $170,000 per year in 1999 when Mr. Harrington
became our Chief Executive Officer. Additional terms under the agreement are as
follows.
. Mr. Harrington is eligible to receive a bonus of up to 20% of his base
salary based on the achievement of performance goals that are mutually
agreeable to Mr. Harrington and the board of directors.
. Mr. Harrington also received options to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares
of our common stock. The options are vesting in 48 equal monthly
installments over Mr. Harrington's period of service with us. However,
the options will become fully vested if we are acquired and the
successor corporation does not assume the options or if Mr. Harrington
is involuntarily terminated within 12 months of an acquisition. In
addition, if Mr. Harrington is terminated for any reason other than
cause, he will receive a payment of $200,000 or one full year of salary,
whichever is greater, and an additional 500,000 option shares will
accelerate.

Mr. Harrington's employment agreement terminates in June 2000, unless
terminated earlier upon death, disability, notice from us, with or without
cause, or voluntary resignation.
In June 1998, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Chea to serve
as our Vice President of Technology. Mr. Chea's initial base salary for his
services was $90,000 and was increased to $110,000 per year in 1999 when Mr.
Chea became Vice President, Engineering. Additional terms under the agreement
are as follows.
. Mr. Chea is entitled to receive an annual bonus of up to 20% of his
annual base salary based on the achievement of performance goals.
. Mr. Chea received options to purchase up to 50,000 shares of our common
stock. Of these options, 12,500 vested on January 1, 1999 and the
remainder are vesting in a series of 36 equal monthly installments
thereafter over Mr. Chea's period of service with us measured from
January 1, 1999.
. Mr. Chea granted us the right to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of his
Fogdog Sports common stock at fair market value if he voluntarily
terminates his employment without good reason. The repurchase right
lapses in 30 equal monthly installments over Mr. Chea's period of
service with us. However, the repurchase right lapses with respect to
all of the shares upon the completion of an initial public offering of
our common stock, if we are acquired, if Mr. Chea dies, becomes disabled
or terminates his employment for good cause, if we terminate his
employment without cause or if we hire a technology officer with a
senior title, duties and responsibilities.
. Mr. Chea is entitled to 12 weeks of severance pay if he is terminated
without cause or if he voluntarily departs with good reason.
Mr. Chea's employment agreement terminates in January 2001, unless terminated
earlier upon death, disability, notice from us with or without cause or if he
voluntary resigns.
In April 1999, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement
with Mr. Allsop to serve as our President of International Division and
Chairman of the Board for a base salary of $105,000 per year. Pursuant to the
agreement, Mr. Allsop's base salary was increased to $135,000 per year upon Mr.
Allsop's relocation to our new London office. Additional terms under the
agreement are as follows.
. Mr. Allsop is entitled to receive a supplement to his base salary of
$8,000 to compensate him for the higher cost of living abroad.
. Mr. Allsop is eligible to receive a bonus of up to 20% of his base
salary upon achievement of performance goals mutually determined by Mr.
Allsop and our chief executive officer.
. Mr. Allsop granted us the right to repurchase up to 173,333 shares of
his Fogdog Sports common stock at fair market value if he voluntarily
terminates his employment without good reason. The repurchase right
lapses in 26 equal monthly installments over Mr. Allsop's period of
service with us. However, the repurchase right lapses with respect to
all of the shares upon the completion of an initial public offering of
our common stock, if we are acquired or if Mr. Allsop dies, becomes
disabled or terminates his employment for good cause.
. Mr. Allsop is also entitled to 26 additional weeks of salary if he is
terminated without cause.
Mr. Allsop's employment agreement terminates in June 2001, unless terminated
earlier upon death, disability, notice from us with or without cause or
voluntary resignation.
In August 1999, we entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Joyce to serve
as our President. Additional terms under the agreement are as follows.
. Mr. Joyce is entitled to a base salary of $280,000 per year.
. Mr. Joyce is also eligible to receive a target bonus of 20% of his base
salary with the opportunity to earn more through the attainment of
performance goals.
63
<PAGE>
. Mr. Joyce is also entitled to receive options to purchase up to
1,000,000 shares of our common stock which were granted on August 26,
1999, and vest over a period of four years in a series of 48 equal
monthly installments over Mr. Joyce's continued period of service with
us. However, if we are acquired within one year of the date of the
agreement and the successor corporation does not assume Mr. Joyce's
options, the options will vest on an accelerated basis such that 24
months worth of unvested options shall become vested.
. Mr. Joyce also received a grant of options to purchase up to 125,000
shares of our common stock when Nike USA, Inc. opened a retail account
for its premium products with us in September 1999, which options will
vest fully six months from the date of grant.
. Mr. Joyce is eligible for a reimbursement of up to $60,000 for
relocation expenses.
In September 1999, our board of directors approved a severance package for
Ms. Von Lossberg. Pursuant to this severance package, she is entitled to three
months of salary if she is terminated without cause.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification
Our certificate of incorporation eliminates, to the maximum extent allowed
by the Delaware General Corporation Law, directors' personal liability to
Fogdog Sports or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of
fiduciary duties. The certificate of incorporation of Fogdog Sports does not,
however, eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for the
following:
. any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to Fogdog Sports or its
stockholders;
. acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
. unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
redemptions; or
. any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
Our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors and executive
officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation
Law and may indemnify our other officers, employees and other agents as set
forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. In addition, we have entered
into an indemnification agreement with each of our directors and executive
officers. The indemnification agreements contain provisions that require us,
among other things, to indemnify our directors and executive officers against
liabilities (other than liabilities arising from intentional or knowing and
culpable violations of law) that may arise by reason of their status or service
as directors or executive officers of Fogdog Sports or other entities to which
they provide service at our request and to advance expenses they may incur as a
result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. We
believe that these bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are
necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and officers.
Prior to the consummation of the offering, we will obtain an insurance
policy covering directors and officers for claims they may otherwise be
required to pay or for which we are required to indemnify them.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of
our directors, officers, employees or agents where indemnification will be
required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or
proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.

Agreement with Nike USA, Inc.
In September 1999, we entered into an agreement with Nike USA, Inc. pursuant
to which we have the right to market on our web site the generally available
Nike product lines, including Jordan, Bauer, Nike ACG, Nike Golf and Nike Team
Sports. We will receive a discount on the products we purchase. Under the
agreement, we also have advance product availability for selected, newly
released products. The agreement prohibits us from selling any of these
products to consumers with shipping addresses outside of the United States
unless Nike.com is allowed to sell in those countries and the sales do not
constitute a violation of any agreement with any third party. We also agreed to
use Nike USA as the exclusive supplier of Nike brand products, and Nike USA
agreed to not open any new "Internet only" accounts to sell Nike products
through March 2000. Nike USA may terminate the agreement at any time without
cause upon 90 days notice to us, but must pay us a termination fee if it
exercises this right prior to December 31, 2001. We also issued Nike USA a
warrant to purchase up to 6,171,524 shares of our Series C preferred stock at
an exercise price of $1.03 per share. Upon the consummation of this offering,
this warrant will automatically become exercisable for up to 6,171,524 shares
of our common stock. Finally, Nike USA is entitled to a seat on our board of
directors or, at its election, to have an observation right for one individual
to have all of the rights and privileges of a board member, except the right to
vote. Currently, Mr. Clarke has a seat on our board pursuant to this agreement.
Agreements with Officers and Directors
In July 1995, we entered into an employment agreement with Ms. von Lossberg.
Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, we agreed to grant Ms. von Lossberg a
2.5% equity interest in the company after six months of employment and another
2.5% equity interest in December 1995. In August 1996, we entered into an
66
<PAGE>
agreement with Ms. von Lossberg pursuant to which we issued 315,792 shares of
our common stock to Ms. von Lossberg in satisfaction of our obligations under
the prior employment agreement.
In August 1999, Mr. Harrington exercised vested options to purchase 441,667
shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $35,292. Mr.
Harrington exercised these options by issuing us a promissory note that is
secured by the stock.
In September 1999, Ms. von Lossberg exercised options to purchase 75,000
shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $4,192. Ms. von
Lossberg exercised these options by issuing us a promissory note that is
secured by the common stock.
We have entered into employment arrangements with our executive officers.
See "Management--Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment Arrangements
and Change in Control Arrangements."
We have granted options and issued common stock to our executive officers
and directors. See "Management--Executive Compensation" and "Principal
Stockholders."
We have entered into an indemnification agreement with each of our executive
officers and directors. See "Management--Limitation of Liability and
Indemnification."
We have entered into non-competition and confidentiality agreements with
some of our officers.
We believe that all of the transactions set forth above were made on terms
no less favorable to us than could have been otherwise obtained from
unaffiliated third parties. All future transactions, including loans, if any,
between the company and our officers, directors and principal stockholders and
their affiliates and any transactions between the company and any entity with
which our officers, directors or five percent stockholders are affiliated will
be approved by a majority of the board of directors, including a majority of
the independent and disinterested outside directors of the board of directors
and will be on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from
unaffiliated third parties.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
General
At the closing of this offering, we will be authorized to issue 100,000,000
shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, and 5,000,000 shares of undesignated
preferred stock, $0.001 par value, after giving effect to the amendment of our
certificate of incorporation to delete references to the existing preferred
stock following conversion of that stock. The following description of capital
stock gives effect to the certificate of incorporation to be filed upon closing
of this offering. Immediately following the completion of this offering, and
assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, an aggregate
of shares of common stock will be issued and outstanding, and no
shares of preferred stock will be issued and outstanding.
The following description of our capital stock is subject to and qualified
by our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which are included as exhibits
to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and by the
provisions of the applicable Delaware law.
Common Stock
The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters to be voted upon by our stockholders. Subject to preferences that may
be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock that may come into existence,
the holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if
any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of
funds legally available for dividends. See "Dividend Policy." In the event of
our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock are
entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities,
subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then
outstanding. Our common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or other
subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions
applicable to the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are
fully paid and nonassessable, and the shares of common stock to be outstanding
upon completion of this offering will be fully paid and nonassessable.
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors is authorized to issue from time to time, without
stockholder authorization, in one or more designated series, any or all of our
authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock with any dividend,
redemption, conversion and exchange provisions as may be provided in the
particular series. Any series of preferred stock may possess voting, dividend,
liquidation and redemption rights superior to those of the common stock. The
rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be
adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that
may be issued in the future. Issuance of a new series of preferred stock, while
providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and
other corporate purposes, could have the effect of entrenching our board of
directors and making it more difficult for a third-party to acquire, or
discourage a third-party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting
stock. We have no present plans to issue any shares of or designate any series
of preferred stock.
Warrants
At June 30, 1999, there were warrants outstanding to purchase a total of
133,779 shares of our Series A preferred stock and 122,144 shares of our common
stock. Warrants to purchase 89,334 shares of our Series A preferred stock and
warrants to purchase 122,144 shares of our common stock will be exercised
immediately upon the completion of this offering. Warrants exercisable for
44,445 shares of our common stock will remain outstanding after the completion
of this offering and will expire on December 24, 2002 if not exercised. In
September 1999, we issued a warrant to purchase up to 6,171,524 shares of our
Series C preferred stock, which will automatically convert to a warrant to
purchase 6,171,524 shares of common stock upon completion of this offering, and
will expire in March 2003 if not exercised.

<PAGE>
Registration Rights
Upon completion of the offering, the holders of an aggregate of
approximately 40,450,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to
approximately 6,200,000 shares of our common stock will be entitled to certain
rights with respect to the registration of the shares under the Securities Act.
Nike USA, Inc. has three separate demand registration rights. These rights are
provided under the terms of agreements between us and the holders of these
securities. If we propose to register any of our securities under the
Securities Act, either for our own account or for the account of other security
holders exercising registration rights, these holders are entitled to notice of
the registration and are entitled to include shares of common stock in the
registration. The rights are subject to conditions and limitations, among them
the right of the underwriters of an offering subject to the registration to
limit the number of shares included in the registration. Holders of these
rights may also require us to file a registration statement under the
Securities Act at our expense with respect to their shares of common stock, and
we are required to use our best efforts to effect the registration, subject to
conditions and limitations. Furthermore, stockholders with registration rights
may require us to file additional registration statements on Form S-3, subject
to conditions and limitations.
Compliance with California Law
We are currently subject to Section 2115 of the California General
Corporation Law. Section 2115 provides that, regardless of a company's legal
domicile, certain provisions of California corporate law will apply to that
company if more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities are held of
record by persons having addresses in California and the majority of the
company's operations occur in California. For example, while we are subject to
Section 2115, stockholders may cumulate votes in electing directors. This means
that each stockholder may vote the number of votes equal to the number of
candidates multiplied by the number of votes to which the stockholder's shares
are normally entitled in favor of one candidate. This potentially allows
minority stockholders to elect some members of the board of directors. When we
are no longer subject to Section 2115, cumulative voting will not be allowed
and a holder of 50% or more of our voting stock will be able to control the
election of all directors. In addition to this difference, Section 2115 has the
following additional effects:
. enables removal of directors with or without cause with majority
stockholder approval;
. places limitations on the distribution of dividends;
. extends additional rights to dissenting stockholders in any
reorganization, including a merger, sale of assets or exchange of
shares; and
. provides for information rights and required filings in the event we
effect a sale of assets or complete a merger.
We anticipate that our common stock will be qualified for trading as a
national market security on the Nasdaq National Market and that we will have at
least 800 stockholders of record by the record date for our 2000 annual meeting
of stockholders. If these two conditions occur, then we will no longer be
subject to Section 2115 as of the record date for our 2000 annual meeting of
stockholders.
Antitakeover Effects of Provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws
and Delaware Law
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board to establish one or
more series of undesignated preferred stock, the terms of which can be
determined by our board at the time of issuance. See "--Preferred Stock." Our
certificate of incorporation also provides that all stockholder action must be
effected at a duly called meeting of stockholders and not by written consent.
In addition, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not permit our
stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders. Only our Chief
Executive Officer, President, Chairman of the Board or a majority of the board
of directors are permitted to call a special meeting of stockholders. Our
certificate of incorporation also provides that the board of directors is
divided into three classes, with each director assigned to a class with a term
of three years, and that the number of directors
71
<PAGE>
may only be determined by the board of directors. Our bylaws require that
stockholders give advance notice to our secretary of any nominations for
director or other business to be brought by stockholders at any stockholders'
meeting, and that the chairman of the board has the authority to adjourn any
meeting called by the stockholders. Our bylaws also require a supermajority
vote of members of the board of directors and/or stockholders to amend certain
bylaw provisions. These provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation
and our bylaws could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay
or prevent a change in control of the company. These provisions also may have
the effect of preventing changes in the management of the company. See "Risk
Factors--Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws make
changes of control difficult, even if they would be beneficial to owners."
We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an
anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a Delaware corporation
from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a
period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an
interested stockholder, unless:
. prior to that date, the board of directors of the corporation approved
either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the
stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
. upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder
becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at
least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time
the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the
number of shares outstanding those shares owned by:
(i) persons who are directors and also officers; and
(ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have
the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject
to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
. on or subsequent to that date, the business combination is approved by
the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or
special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the
affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock
that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
Section 203 defines "business combination" to include the following:
. any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested
stockholder;
. any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the
assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;
. subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the
issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation
to the interested stockholder;
. any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of
increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series
of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or
. the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans,
advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or
through the corporation.
In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or
person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the
corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or
controlled by any of these entities or persons.

SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common
stock, and we cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of
our common stock or the availability of shares of our common stock for sale
will have on the market price of common stock prevailing from time to time.
Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public
market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could
impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity
securities.
Upon the completion of this offering we will have shares of
common stock outstanding assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-
allotment option. The number of shares of common stock to be outstanding after
this offering is based on the number of shares outstanding as of June 30, 1999,
and includes 5,294,116 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our
Series D preferred stock sold in September 1999 and 399,998 shares of our
common stock issued in connection with our acquisition of Sports Universe,
Inc., and excludes:
. 5,731,410 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock
options outstanding as of June 30, 1999 at a weighted average exercise
price of $0.11 per share;
. shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our 1999
Stock Incentive Plan that incorporates our Amended and Restated 1996
Stock Option Plan;
. shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our 1999
Employee Stock Purchase Plan;
. 6,171,524 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of an
outstanding warrant held by Nike USA, Inc. of an exercise price of $1.03
per share; and
. 255,923 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding
warrants at a weighted average exercise price of $0.98 per share.
Of the outstanding shares, all of the shares sold in this offering will be
freely tradable, except that any shares held by our "affiliates," as that term
is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, may only be sold
in compliance with the limitations described below. The remaining 38,821,400
shares of common stock will be deemed "restricted securities" as defined under
Rule 144. Restricted shares may be sold in the public market only if registered
or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rules 144, 144(k)
or 701 promulgated under the Securities Act, which rules are summarized below.
Subject to the lock-up agreements described below and the provisions of Rules
144, 144(k) and 701, additional shares will be available for sale in the public
market as follows:

</TABLE>
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person, or group of
persons whose shares are required to be aggregated, including any of our
affiliates, who has beneficially owned shares for at least one year, including
the holding period of any prior owner who is not an affiliate, is entitled to
sell within any three-month period commencing 90 days after the date of this
prospectus, a number of shares that does not exceed
73
<PAGE>
the greater of one percent of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock,
which will be approximately shares immediately after this offering,
or the average weekly trading volume in our common stock during the four
calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of such sale is filed,
subject to certain restrictions. In addition, a person who is not deemed to
have been an affiliate at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale and who
has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years,
including the holding period of any prior owner who is not an affiliate, would
be entitled to sell these shares under Rule 144(k) without regard to the
requirements described above. To the extent that shares were acquired from one
of our affiliates, a person's holding period for the purpose of effecting a
sale under Rule 144 would commence on the date of transfer from the affiliate.
Stock Options
As of June 30, 1999, options to purchase a total of 5,731,410 shares of
common stock were outstanding, all of which were currently exercisable but were
subject to repurchase upon termination of employment until vested. We intend to
file a Form S-8 registration statement under the Securities Act to register all
shares of common stock issuable under our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan and our
1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Accordingly, shares of common stock
underlying these options will be eligible for sale in the public markets,
subject to vesting restrictions or the lock-up agreements described below. See
"Management--Benefit Plans."
Lock-up Agreements
We have agreed, and each of our officers and directors and substantially all
of our securityholders have agreed, subject to specified exceptions, not to,
without the prior written consent of Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation,
sell, otherwise dispose of any shares of our common stock or options to acquire
shares of our common stock or take any action to do any of the foregoing during
the 180-day period following the date of this prospectus. Credit Suisse First
Boston Corporation may, in its sole discretion and at any time without notice,
release all or any portion of the securities subject to lock-up agreements. See
"Underwriting."
Following this offering, under specified circumstances and subject to
customary conditions, holders of approximately 40,450,000 shares of our
outstanding common stock and warrants to purchase up to approximately 6,200,000
shares of our common stock will have registration rights with respect to their
shares of common stock, subject to the 180-day lock-up arrangement described
above, to require us to register their shares of common stock under the
Securities Act. If the holders of these registrable securities request that we
register their shares, and if the registration is effected, these shares will
become freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act. Any sales
of securities by these stockholders could have a material adverse effect on the
trading price of our common stock. See "Description of Capital Stock--
Registration Rights."

agreement dated , 1999, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters named

The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters are obligated to
purchase all the shares of common stock in the offering if any are purchased,
other than those shares covered by the over-allotment option described below.
The underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter defaults, the
purchase commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the
offering of common stock may be terminated.
We have granted to the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase on a pro
rata basis up to additional shares at the initial public offering
price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The option may be
exercised only to cover any over-allotments of common stock.
The underwriters propose to offer the shares of common stock initially at
the public offering price on the cover page of this prospectus and to selling
group members at that price less a concession of $ per share. The
underwriters and selling group members may allow a discount of $ per share
on sales to other broker/dealers. After the initial public offering, the public
offering price and concession and discount to broker/dealers may be changed by
the representatives.
The following table summarizes the compensation and estimated expenses we
will pay.

The underwriters have informed us that they do not expect discretionary
sales to exceed 5% of the shares of common stock being offered.
We, our officers and directors and substantially all of our existing
stockholders and option holders have agreed not to offer, sell, contract to
sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933 relating to, any shares of our common stock or
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of our
common stock, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale,
pledge, disposition or filing, without the prior written consent of Credit
Suisse First Boston Corporation for a period of 180 days after the date of this
prospectus, except in our case issuances pursuant to the exercise of employee
stock options outstanding on the date hereof.
The underwriters have reserved for sale, at the initial public offering
price, up to shares of the common stock for employees, directors and
certain other persons associated with us who have expressed an
75
<PAGE>
interest in purchasing common stock in the offering. The number of shares
available for sale to the general public in the offering will be reduced to the
extent such persons purchase such reserved shares. Any reserved shares not so
purchased will be offered by the underwriters to the general public on the same
terms as the other shares.
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities
under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribute to payments which the
underwriters may be required to make in that respect.
We will make application to list the shares of common stock on The Nasdaq
Stock Market's National Market under the symbol "FOGD."
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the common
stock. The initial public offering price will be determined by negotiation
between us and the representatives. The principal factors to be considered in
determining the public offering price include the following:
. the information included in this prospectus and otherwise available to
the representatives;
. market conditions for initial public offerings;
. the history and the prospects for the industry in which we will compete;
. the ability of our management;
. the prospects for our future earnings;
. the present state of our development and our current financial
condition;
. the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this
offering; and
. the recent market prices of, and the demand for, publicly traded common
stock of generally comparable companies.
Thomas Weisel Partners LLC, one of the representatives of the underwriters,
was organized and registered as a broker-dealer in December 1998. Since
December 1998, Thomas Weisel Partners LLC has been named as a lead-manager or
co-manager on 67 filed public offerings of equity securities, of which 37 have
been completed, and has acted as a syndicate member in an additional 33 public
offerings of equity securities. Thomas Weisel Partners LLC does not have any
material relationship with us or any of our officers, directors or controlling
persons, except with respect to its contractual relationship with us under the
underwriting agreement entered into in connection with this offering.
The representatives may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions,
syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation
M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
. Over-allotment involves syndicate sales in excess of the offering size,
which creates a syndicate short position.
. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security
so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.
. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the common stock in
the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to
cover syndicate short positions.
. Penalty bids permit the representatives to reclaim a selling concession
from a syndicate member when the common stock originally sold by such
syndicate member is purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to
cover syndicate short positions.
These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty
bids may cause the price of the common stock to be higher than it would
otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. These transactions may be
effected on the Nasdaq National Market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be
discontinued at any time.

NOTICE TO CANADIAN RESIDENTS
Resale Restrictions
The distribution of the common stock in Canada is being made only on a
private placement basis exempt from the requirement that we prepare and file a
prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in each province where
trades of common stock are effected. Accordingly, any resale of the common
stock in Canada must be made in accordance with applicable securities laws
which will vary depending on the relevant jurisdiction, and which may require
resales to be made in accordance with available statutory exemptions or
pursuant to a discretionary exemption granted by the applicable Canadian
securities regulatory authority. Purchasers are advised to seek legal advice
prior to any resale of the common stock.
Representations of Purchasers
Each purchaser of the common stock in Canada who receives a purchase
confirmation will be deemed to represent to us and the dealer from whom such
purchase confirmation is received that (i) such purchaser is entitled under
applicable provincial securities laws to purchase such common stock without the
benefit of a prospectus qualified under such securities laws, (ii) where
required by law, that such purchaser is purchasing as principal and not as
agent, and (iii) such purchaser has reviewed the text above under "Resale
Restrictions."
Rights of Action (Ontario Purchasers)
The securities being offered are those of a foreign issuer and Ontario
purchasers will not receive the contractual right of action prescribed by
Ontario securities law. As a result, Ontario purchasers must rely on other
remedies that may be available, including common law rights of action for
damages or rescission or rights of action under the civil liability provisions
of the U.S. federal securities laws.
Enforcement of Legal Rights
All of the issuer's directors and officers as well as the experts named
herein may be located outside of Canada and, as a result, it may not be
possible for Canadian purchasers to effect service of process within Canada
upon the issuer or such persons. All or a substantial portion of the assets of
the issuer and such persons may be located outside of Canada and, as a result,
it may not be possible to satisfy a judgment against the issuer or such persons
in Canada or to enforce a judgment obtained in Canadian courts against such
issuer or such persons outside of Canada.
Notice to British Columbia Residents
A purchaser of the common stock to whom the Securities Act (British
Columbia) applies is advised that such purchaser is required to file with the
British Columbia Securities Commission a report within ten days of the sale of
any common stock acquired by such purchaser pursuant to this offering. Such
report must be in the form attached to British Columbia Securities Commission
Blanket Order BOR #95/17, a copy of which may be obtained from us. Only one
such report must be filed in respect of common stock acquired on the same date
and under the same prospectus exemption.
Taxation and Eligibility for Investment
Canadian purchasers of the common stock should consult their own legal and
tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the
common stock in their particular circumstances and with respect to the
eligibility of the common stock for investment by the purchaser under relevant
Canadian legislation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Fogdog, Inc.
The reincorporation described in Note 10 to the financial statements has not
been consummated as of September 24, 1999. When the reincorporation has been
consummated, we will be in position to furnish the following report:
"In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements
of operations, of stockholders' equity (deficit), and of cash flows present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fogdog, Inc. at
December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999 is unaudited)
Note 1--The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
The Company
Fogdog, Inc. (the "Company") is an online retailer of sporting goods. The
Company's online retail store, "fogdog.com," offers products, detailed product
information and personalized shopping services over its web site "fogdog.com."
During 1997 and 1998, the Company also provided web development services to
sporting goods manufacturers, trade associations and retailers. The Company was
incorporated in California in October 1994 as Cedro Group, Inc. and in November
1998, changed its name to Fogdog, Inc.
Unaudited interim results
The interim financial statements as of June 30, 1999 and for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1999 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these
interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the
audited financial statements and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of
normal, recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the
results of interim periods. The financial data and other information disclosed
in these notes to the financial statements for the related periods are
unaudited. The results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for any future periods.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Short-term investments
The Company's investments are classified as available-for-sale. Unrealized
gains or losses have been insignificant for all periods.
Merchandise inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, determined on a first-
in, first-out basis.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the
assets, generally three years, or the remaining lease term.
Web development costs
Web development costs primarily consist of costs to develop software which
enables users to access information on the customer's web site. Web development
costs incurred prior to technological feasibility
F-7
<PAGE>
FOGDOG, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
(Information for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999 is unaudited)
are expensed as incurred and are included in site development expense. The
Company defines establishment of the technological feasibility as the
completion of a working model. Software development costs incurred subsequent
to the establishment of technological feasibility throughout the period of
market availability of the web site are capitalized. Costs eligible for
capitalization have been insignificant for all periods presented.
Intangible assets
Purchased intangible assets are presented at cost, net of accumulated
amortization, and are amortized using the straight line method over the
estimated useful life of the assets. In October 1998, the Company purchased the
mailing list, Internet domain name and client database from Sportscape.com for
$55,000. The Company is amortizing the balance over a twelve month period. At
December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1999, the balance of $46,000 and $18,000,
respectively is included in other current assets.
Revenue recognition
Merchandise revenue is earned by the Company from the sale of sporting goods
through its online retail store. Merchandise revenue is recognized upon the
shipment of the merchandise, which occurs only after credit card authorization
is obtained. For sales of merchandise, the Company is responsible for
establishing prices, processing the orders, and forwarding the information to
the manufacturer, distributor or third-party warehouse for shipment. For these
transactions, the Company assumes credit risk and is responsible for processing
returns. The Company provides for estimated returns at the time of shipment
based on historical data.
Commission revenue was earned by the Company from catalog partners for
transactions processed through the Company's online retail store. Revenue was
recognized when the order was transmitted to the catalog partner. In commission
sales, the Company processed orders in exchange for a commission on the sale of
the vendor's merchandise. At the conclusion of the sale, the Company forwarded
the order information to the vendor, which then charged the customer's credit
card and shipped the merchandise directly to the customer. In a commission sale
transaction, the Company did not take title or possession of the merchandise,
and the vendor assumed all the risk of credit card chargebacks. The Company
also earned commission revenue from transactions processed on several client
sites. Commission revenue from these transactions has been immaterial to date.
Revenue from web development services was recognized when the client's site
had either been placed on-line or completed to the client's satisfaction, the
Company had the right to invoice the customer, collection of the receivable was
probable and there were no significant obligations remaining.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs are expensed as in accordance with Statement of Position
93-7, "Reporting on Advertising Costs." Advertising expense for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1997, 1998 and the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999
were $12,000, $64,000, $541,000, $79,000, and $1,754,000, respectively.
Site development costs
Site development costs include costs incurred by the Company to develop and
enhance the Company's web site. Site development costs are expensed as
incurred.

Net loss per share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available for
the period by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net
loss for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential
common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of
diluted net loss per share excludes potential common shares if the effect is
antidilutive. Potential common shares are composed of Common Stock subject to
repurchase rights, incremental shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of stock options, and warrants and upon conversion of Preferred Stock.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss
per share for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Income taxes
A current tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes
payable or refundable on tax returns for the current year. A deferred tax
liability or asset is recognized for the estimated future tax effects
attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. The measurement of
deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any benefits
that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Pro forma net loss per share (unaudited)
Pro forma net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the
six months ended June 30, 1999 is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding, including the conversion of the Company's
Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of the Company's Common Stock effective
upon the closing of the Company's initial public offering, as if such
conversion occurred at January 1, 1998 or at date of original issuance, if
later. The resulting unaudited pro forma adjustment includes an increase in the
weighted average shares used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share of
7,949,000 and 21,832,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the six
months ended June 30, 1999, respectively. The calculation of pro forma diluted
net loss per share excludes Common Stock subject to repurchase agreements and
incremental Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and
warrants as the effect would be antidilutive.
Comprehensive income
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for
reporting comprehensive income and its components in financial statements.
Comprehensive income, as defined, includes all changes in equity (net assets)
during a period from non-owner sources. During each of the three years ended
December 31, 1998, and the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999 the Company
has not had any significant adjustments to net loss that are required to be
reported in comprehensive income (loss).
Segment information
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of Enterprise and Related Information." During
each of the three years ended December 31, 1998 and the six months ended June
30, 1998 and 1999 the Company's management focused its business activities on
the marketing and sale of sporting goods over the Internet. Since management's
primary form of internal reporting is aligned with the marketing and sale of
sporting goods, the Company believes it operates in one segment. Revenue from
shipments to customers outside of the United States was 0%, 0%, 6%, 0% and 10%
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 and the six months ended
June 30, 1998, and 1999, respectively.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance
with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and complies with the disclosure
provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS
No. 123"). Under APB 25, unearned compensation is based on the difference, if
any, on the date of the grant, between the fair value of the Company's stock
and the exercise price. Unearned compensation is amortized and expensed in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28
using
F-10

FOGDOG, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
(Information for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999 is unaudited)
the multiple-option approach. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation
issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and
Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That
Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with
Selling, Goods or Services."
Concentration of risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration
of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investments
and trade accounts receivable. Cash equivalents and short-term investments,
primarily composed of investments in money market funds and certificates of
deposits, are maintained with two institutions and the composition and
maturities are regularly monitored by management. For accounts receivable, the
Company maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based upon
the expected collectibility of all accounts receivable. Because of their short-
term nature, the carrying value of all financial instruments approximate their
respective fair value.
At December 31, 1997, approximately 47% of accounts receivable represented
amounts due from three different customers related to web development revenues.
At December 31, 1998, two customers accounted for 21% and 15% of accounts
receivable for commission-related revenues. Sales to these customers accounted
for approximately 25% of revenues in 1997. At June 30, 1999, no customer
represented more than 10% of outstanding accounts receivable.
The Company relies on a limited number of product manufacturers and third-
party distributors to fulfill a large percentage of products offered on the
online retail store. While management believes that alternate suppliers could
provide product at comparable terms, the loss of any one manufacturer or
distributor could delay shipments and have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial position and results of operations.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"). SOP 98-1 is effective for
financial statements for years beginning after December 15, 1998. SOP 98-1
provides guidance over accounting for computer software developed or obtained
for internal use including the requirement to capitalize specified costs and
amortization of such costs. The adoption of the provisions of SOP 98-1 during
the fiscal year beginning January 1, 1999, did not have a material effect on
the financial statements.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133").
SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards of derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, and for hedging activities. In July 1999, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting with Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 133" ("SFAS 137"). SFAS 137 deferred the effective date until the
first fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2000. The Company will adopt SFAS 133 in
its quarter ending June 30, 2000. The Company has not engaged in hedging
activities or invested in derivative instruments.

(a) In September 1998, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a bank
which provided borrowings up to $800,000. Borrowings under the agreement
are due on September 15, 2001 and bear interest at the prime rate plus one-
half percent (8.25% at December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1999). Borrowings for
software, furniture, fixtures or telephone equipment are limited to 75% of
the invoice amount. The Company must meet certain financial covenants in
connection with the loan agreement with which it was in compliance at
December 31, 1998. As of June 30, 1999, the Company was in violation of one
of its financial covenants for which a waiver from the bank was obtained.

(b) In December 1997, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a bank
which provided for a line of credit and a equipment term loan. Under the
line of credit, the Company can borrow up to $500,000 and is required to
keep cash on hand to cover the balance outstanding. At December 31, 1998

The Company has incurred losses for the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1998. Management believes that based on the history of such losses and other
factors, the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than
not that the Company will not be able to realize its deferred tax assets and
thus a full valuation allowance has been recorded at December 31, 1997 and
1998.

The holders of Convertible Preferred have various rights and preferences as
follows:
Dividends
Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive annual
dividends of 8% per share, when and if declared by the Board of Directors prior
to the declaration of dividends to holders of Common Stock. Holders of Series B
Preferred Stock are entitled to receive annual dividends of 8% per share, when
and if declared by the Board of Directors prior to the declaration of dividends
to holders of Series A Preferred Stock and holders of Common Stock. Holders of
Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive annual dividends of 8% per
share, when and if declared by the Board of Directors prior to the declaration
of dividends to holders of Series A Preferred Stock, holders of Series B
Preferred Stock and holders of Common Stock. As of June 30, 1999, no dividends
had been declared by the Board of Directors.
Conversion
Each share of Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock is convertible
into shares of Common Stock based on a formula which results in a one-for-one
exchange ratio at June 30, 1999. This formula is subject to adjustment, as
defined, which essentially provides adjustments for holders of the Preferred
Stock in the event of stock splits or combinations. Such conversion is
automatic upon the earlier of (i) the effective date of a public offering of
Common Stock resulting in gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000 and at a price
per share of at least $2.059 or (ii) written notice to the corporation of the
preferred stockholders' intent to convert into shares of Common Stock.
Liquidation
In the event of liquidation, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are
entitled to a per share distribution in preference to holders of Common Stock
equal to the Series A stated value of $0.5625 at December 31, 1998 plus any
declared but unpaid dividends. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock are
entitled to a per share distribution preference to holders of Common Stock and
Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Series B stated value of $0.50 plus any
declared but unpaid dividends. The holders of Series C Preferred Stock are
entitled to a per share distribution preference to holders of Common Stock,
Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock equal to the Series C
stated value of $1.0294 plus any declared but unpaid dividends. In the event
funds are sufficient to make a complete distribution to holders of Series A
Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock as
described above, the remaining assets will be distributed ratably among the
holders of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred
Stock, assuming conversion of
F-15

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
(Information for the six months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1999 is unaudited)
all shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C
Preferred Stock into Common Stock. If distributions to holders of Series A
Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock as
described above would reach an aggregate of $1.125, $0.997 and $2.059 per
share, respectively, the Common Stock holders would receive the remaining
assets.
Redemption
In connection with the Series B Preferred Stock share issuance, holders of
Series A Preferred Stock agreed to waive all mandatorily redeemable features
associated with their Preferred Stock. The holders of the Series B and Series C
have no redemption rights.
Voting
The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock,
voting as separate classes, are entitled to elect one director, each, to the
Board. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class,
are entitled to elect two directors to the Board.
Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock
and Common Stock, voting together as a single class, are entitled to elect two
additional directors to the Board. In addition, the holders of the Common
Stock, voting together as a class, are entitled to elect two directors.
Additionally, except as required by law, the consent of at least 66-2/3% of the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C
Preferred Stock, each voting as separate classes are required to (i) amend the
articles of incorporation, (ii) establish any class of capital stock with
dividend or liquidation preferences senior to those of the Series A shares or
Series B shares or Series C shares or (iii) increase the authorized number of
Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred
Stock. Without the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the number
of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred
Stock, voting together as a single class, the Company cannot effect any
liquidation.
Warrants for Preferred Stock
In connection with the loan agreement entered into in December 1997, the
Company issued to the bank a warrant to purchase 44,445 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock. The warrant may be exercised at any time between May 1, 1998
and December 24, 2002 at an exercise price of $0.56 per share. The warrant was
recorded as a debt discount at its estimated fair value of $8,000. Amortization
of the discount was recognized as interest expense over the term of the loan
agreement. The warrant automatically converts to a warrant to purchase Common
Stock upon the effective date of an initial public offering.
In connection with the issuance of convertible promissory notes to certain
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in May 1998 and December 1997, the
Company issued warrants to purchase 53,334 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
The warrants may be exercised at any time prior to December 26, 2002 at an
exercise price of $0.56 per share. The warrants were recorded as a debt
discount at its estimated fair value of $13,000. Amortization of the discount
is being recognized as interest expense over the term of the promissory notes.
The warrants automatically convert to warrants to purchase Common Stock upon
the effective date of an initial public offering.
In May 1998 and December 1997, the Company issued warrants to purchase
36,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to certain members of the Board of
Directors for services. The warrants may be exercised at any time prior to May
22, 2003 and December 26, 2002 at an exercise price of $0.56 per share. The
warrants automatically convert to warrants to purchase Common Stock upon the
effective date of an initial public offering. The Company has not recorded any
expense the estimated fair value of the warrants because such amounts were
insignificant.

Note 8--Stock Option Plan:
In November 1996, the Board of Directors adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan
(the "Plan") providing for the issuance of incentive and nonstatutory stock
options to employees, consultants and outside directors of the Company. The
Plan was amended in April 1999 to increase the number of shares authorized for
issuance to a total of 8,100,274.
Options may be granted at an exercise price at the date of grant of not less
than the fair market value per share for incentive stock options and not less
than 85% of the fair market value per share for nonstatutory stock options,
except for options granted to a person owning greater than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, for which the
exercise price of the option must be not less than 110% of the fair market
value. The fair market value of the Company's Common Stock is determined by the
Board of Directors or a committee thereof.
Options granted under the Plan generally become exercisable at a rate of 25%
after the first year and ratable each month over the next three years and
expire no later than five years after the grant date.
The following table summarizes information about stock option transactions
under the Plan (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Because the determination of fair value of all options granted after such

factor in addition to the factors described in preceding paragraph, the above
results may not be representative of future periods.
Unearned stock-based compensation
In connection with certain stock option grants, during the year ended
December 31, 1998 and the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company
recognized unearned stock-based compensation totaling $1,221,000 and
$2,154,000, respectively, which is being amortized over the vesting periods of
the related options, which is generally four years, using the multiple option
approach. Amortization expense recognized for the year ended December 31, 1998
and the six months ended June 30, 1999 totaled approximately $243,000 and
$740,000, respectively. In determining the fair market value on each grant
date, the Company considered among other things, the relative level of revenues
and other operating results, the absence of a public trading market for the
Company's securities and the competitive nature of the Company's market.
Note 9--Related Party Transactions:
In May 1998 and December 1997, certain holders of Series A Preferred Stock
received from the Company convertible promissory notes in exchange for
$325,000. The notes bore interest at 8% per annum. The notes were converted to
Series B Preferred Stock in June 1998.
Note 10--Subsequent Events:
Reincorporation
In September 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
reincorporation of the Company in the State of Delaware. As a result of the
reincorporation, the Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of
$0.001 par value Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value
Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue the
undesignated Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof. The par value of the
Preferred Stock and shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock authorized in
the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1997 and 1998 and in
consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1998 have been retroactively adjusted to reflect
the reincorporation.
Stock option grant
During August and September 1999, the Company granted options to purchase
1,890,350 shares of Common Stock to existing and new employees at a weighted
average exercise price of $1.28. In connection with these stock option grants,
the Company will recognize $6.1 million in unearned stock-based compensation
that will be recognized over the related vesting periods.

Acquisition
In September 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Sports Universe, Inc. for 399,998 shares of Common Stock with an estimated fair
value of $4.00 per share. The acquisition will be accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. The total purchase price of approximately $1.6
million will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed on the basis of their fair values at the acquisition date.
Series D Preferred Stock
In September 1999, the Company issued 5,294,116 shares of Series D Preferred
Stock ("Series D") at $2.89 per share resulting in cash proceeds of $15.3
million. Each share of Series D has voting rights equal to Common Stock at any
time. Holders of Series D are entitled to receive annual dividends of 8% per
share, when and if declared by the Board of Directors prior to the declaration
of dividends to holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock,
Series C Preferred Stock and Common Stock. The Series D is convertible at any
time into Common Stock at a one-for-one exchange ratio. Such conversion is
automatic upon the effective date of an initial public offering. In the event
of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of
the Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference
to any holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C
Preferred Stock and Common Stock, an amount equal to $2.89 per share, plus any
declared but unpaid dividends. Holders of Series D are subject to all rights
and preferences of previously issued series of preferred stockholders. For the
nine months ending September 30, 1999, the Company will record a preferred
stock dividend to reflect the beneficial conversion feature granted to the
holders of the Series D.
Strategic Agreement
In September 1999, the Company entered into a two-year strategic
distribution agreement with Nike USA, Inc. ("Nike") to distribute Nike products
over the Company's web site. In exchange for certain online exclusivity rights,
the Company granted Nike a fully-vested warrant to purchase 6,171,524 shares of
Series C Preferred Stock at $1.03 per share. The warrant automatically converts
to a warrant to purchase Common Stock upon the closing of an initial public
offering. The Company will expense the estimated fair value of the warrant of
approximately $24.0 million over the term of the distribution agreement as
marketing and sales expense.
1999 Stock Plans
In September 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 1999 Stock
Incentive Plan (the "1999 Plan"), which will serve as the successor plan to the
1996 Plan. The Board of Directors also approved a 1999 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (the "1999 ESPP"). These plans will become effective immediately prior to
the completion of an initial public offering. The common stock reserved for
future issuances under these plans will be 18% of the shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after the initial public offering. Additionally, the
share reserve in each plan will automatically increase on the first trading day
in January each year, beginning with calendar year 2000, equal to the lesser of
(i) the number of shares initially reserved for such increase in each
respective plan, (ii) 4.25% and 0.75% of the then outstanding shares for the
1999 Plan and the 1999 ESPP, respectively, or (iii) an amount determined by the
Board of Directors.

Effective September 3, 1999, Fogdog, Inc. ("Fogdog") merged with Sports
Universe, Inc. ("Sports Universe"). Sports Universe sells equipment and apparel
for wakeboarding, waterskiing, inline skating, surfing and skateboarding on the
Internet. The merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
and accordingly the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible

consisted of 399,998 shares of Fogdog Common Stock with an estimated fair value
of approximately $4.00 per share and other acquisition related expenses of
approximately $30,000, consisting primarily of payments for professional fees.
The purchase price was allocated to net tangible liabilities assumed of
$524,000 and goodwill of $2.2 million. The acquired goodwill will be amortized
over its estimated useful life of two years.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet gives effect to
this merger as if it had occurred on June 30, 1999. The following unaudited pro
forma consolidated statements of operations gives effect to this merger as if
it had occurred on February 9, 1998 ("inception"), by consolidating the results

FOGDOG INC.
NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following adjustments were applied to Fogdog's historical financial
statements and those of Sports Universe to arrive at the pro forma consolidated
financial information.
(A) To record the purchase of Sports Universe by Fogdog including Common
Stock, accrued professional fees and goodwill.
(B) To record amortization of acquired goodwill totaling $2,154,000 over
the estimated period of benefit of two years.
(C) Pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share of the six month period
ended June 30, 1999 and for the year ended December 31, 1998 was
computed using the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding. Pro forma common equivalent shares,
composed of unvested restricted Common Stock, incremental Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants, and outstanding
Preferred Stock are included in diluted net loss per share to the
extent such shares are dilutive. Differences between historical
weighted average shares outstanding and pro forma weighted average
shares outstanding used to compute net loss per share results form the
inclusion of shares issued in conjunction with the acquisition as if
such shares were outstanding as of February 9, 1998 (inception of
Sports Universe).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information for the period from inception through June 30, 1998
and the six months ended June 30, 1999 is unaudited)
Note 1--The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
The Company
Sports Universe, Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated in Delaware on
February 9, 1998 ("Inception") for the purpose of selling equipment and apparel
for wakeboarding, waterskiing, inline skating, snowboarding, surfing and
skateboarding on the Internet.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
The Company's revenues are derived primarily from sales of products over the
Internet. Revenues related to product sales are recognized upon shipment by the
Company or one of its distribution partners. The Company also derives revenues
from Web design, Web hosting, promotion sales and advertising on its web site.
The Company recognizes revenue on Web design and Web hosting as the service is
provided to the customer and no ongoing obligation exists, and advertising
revenue is recognized over the period the advertising is displayed.
Restricted cash
The Company has cash restricted for use for certain service providers that
process customer credit card orders. This cash is used to pay the service
providers for amounts not paid for by credit card vendors related to customer
orders. As of December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1999 (unaudited), the Company had
restricted cash of $3,000 and $7,000, respectively, included in cash.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at lower of cost or market, cost being determined by the
first-in, first-out method.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at historical cost. Depreciation is
computed using straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Computer equipment and office furniture and fixtures are depreciated
over three and five years, respectively. For computer equipment under capital
leases, the net present value of future lease payments is capitalized at the
inception of the lease and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the
related asset. From Inception to June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1998 and for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 the Company had depreciation and
amortization expense of $15,000, $37,000, and $23,000, respectively. The
capital leases all have bargain purchase options which allows the Company to
purchase the equipment below fair value at the end of the lease.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred in accordance with Statement of
Position 93-7, "Reporting on Advertising Costs". Advertising costs from
Inception to June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1998 and for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1999 (unaudited) were $19,000, $35,000 and $1,000, respectively.

SPORTS UNIVERSE, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
(Information for the period from inception through June 30, 1998
and the six months ended June 30, 1999 is unaudited)
Concentration of risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a
concentration of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable. Cash is
deposited with a high quality financial institution. The Company's accounts
receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers located in the United
States and are dominated in U.S. dollars. Accounts receivable balances are
typically settled through customer credit cards and, as a result, the majority
of accounts receivable are collected upon processing of credit card
transactions. No customer accounts for more than 10% of the revenues or
accounts receivable as of June 30, 1999 or December 31, 1998.
The Company has a limited number of distribution partners one of which fills
a material portion of Company's customer orders. The Company has a distribution
agreement with this distribution partner. The loss of this distribution partner
could have material adverse effect on Company's statement of operations.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivables,
accounts payable, accrued expenses and related party loans, have carrying
amounts which approximate fair value due to relatively short maturity of these
instruments.
Interim financial information
The accompanying balance sheet as of June 30, 1999 and the statements of
operations and of cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 and
from Inception to June 30, 1998 are unaudited. In the opinion of management,
these statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial
statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim
periods. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to
financial statements related to these periods is unaudited. The results for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.

(Information for the period from inception through June 30, 1998
and the six months ended June 30, 1999 is unaudited)
Note 3--Related Party Transactions:
The Company had loans from two of its key employees totaling $240,000 and
$237,000 as of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. These
borrowings relate to certain operating expenses which were paid by the employee
and cash infusions made which were made to the Company. These related party
loans do not have a stated maturity and are non-interest bearing.
The Company also had convertible debt with certain investors in the amount
of $85,000 and $75,000 as of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.
The note holder has the option to convert the debt into common stock or to be
paid in cash one year after issuance of the note. The note automatically
converts to common shares if the Company receives financing at a rate based
upon the fair value of the common stock at the date of conversion, as defined
in the agreement. The notes carried an annual interest rate of 10%.
Note 4--Income Taxes:
The Company incurred a net operating loss for the period from Inception to
December 31, 1998 and accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been
recorded. The tax benefit is reconciled to the amount computed using the
federal statutory rate as follows:

</TABLE>
At December 31, 1998, the Company had approximately $461,000 of federal and
$462,000 of state net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future
taxable income which expire at various dates through 2013. Under the Tax Reform
Act of 1986, the amount of and benefits from net operating loss carryforwards
may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances. Events which cause
limitations in the amount of net operating losses that the Company may utilize
in any one year include, but are not limited to, a cumulative ownership change
of more than 50%, as defined, over a three year period.
Note 5--Commitments:
Rent expense under non-cancelable operating lease agreements for the six-
month period ended June 30, 1999 and from Inception to June 30, 1998 and
December 31, 1998 were $7,000, $22,000 and $47,000, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments related to office facilities and computer
equipment under non-cancelable operating and capital leases are $44,000 for
1999, $19,000 for 2000 and $4,000 for 2001. There are no minimum lease payments
due after March 2001.
Note 6--Common Stock:
The Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize the Company
to issue common stock, $.001 par value. For the six-months ended June 30, 1999,
the Company issued 6,346,000 shares of Common

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to
award or a corporation's board of directors to grant indemnification to
directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit the
indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including
reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"). Article VII, Section 6 of our bylaws
provides for mandatory indemnification of our directors and officers and
permissible indemnification of employees and other agents to the maximum
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Our certificate of
incorporation provides that, subject to Delaware law, our directors will not
be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of the directors'
fiduciary duty as directors to Fogdog Sports and its stockholders. This
provision in the certificate of incorporation does not eliminate the
directors' fiduciary duty, and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies
such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available
under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to
liability for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the company or our
stockholders for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional
misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper
personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or approval of
stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The
provision also does not affect a director's responsibilities under any other
law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental
laws. We have entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and
directors, a form of which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as an exhibit to our registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-
). The indemnification agreements provide our officers and
directors with further indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law. Reference is also made to Section 7 of the
underwriting agreement contained in exhibit 1.1 hereto, indemnifying our
officers and directors against certain liabilities, and section 1.11 of the
Third Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement contained in exhibit
4.2 hereto, indemnifying the parties thereto, including controlling
stockholders, against liabilities.

Item 17. Undertakings
We hereby undertake to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified
in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and
registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt
delivery to each purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant
to the Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation or
our bylaws, indemnification agreements entered into between the company and
our officers and directors, the underwriting agreement, or otherwise, we have
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. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by any of our directors,
officers or controlling persons 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, we will, unless in the
opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such
indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
form of prospectus filed by us pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or
497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
registration statement as of the time it was declared effective;
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.

Corporation is hereby authorized to fix or alter the rights, preferences,

is hereafter changed, each director then serving as such shall nevertheless
continue as a director of the Class of which he is a member until the expiration
of his current term and any newly created directorships or decrease in
directorships shall be so apportioned among the classes as to make all classes
as nearly equal in number as is practicable.
Vacancies occurring on the Board of Directors for any reason may be
filled by vote of a majority of the remaining members of the Board of Directors,
even if less than a quorum, at any meeting of the Board of Directors. A person
so elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy shall hold office for the
remainder of the full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or
occurred and until such director's successor shall have been duly elected and
qualified. A director may be removed from office by the affirmative vote of the
holders of 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation
entitled to vote at an election of directors, provided that such removal is for
cause.
ARTICLE VII
Stockholders of the Corporation shall take action by meetings held
pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the
Bylaws and shall have no right to take any action by written consent without a
meeting. Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of
Delaware, as the Bylaws may provide. Special meetings of the stockholders, for
any purpose or purposes, may only be called by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation. The books of the Corporation may be kept (subject to any provision
contained in the statutes) outside the State of Delaware at such place or places
as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the
Bylaws of the Corporation.
ARTICLE VIII
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this Corporation is
authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to)
directors, officers, employees and agents (and any other persons to which
Delaware law permits this Corporation to provide indemnification) through Bylaw
provisions, agreements with such agents or other persons, vote of stockholders
or disinterested directors or otherwise, in excess of the indemnification and
advancement otherwise permitted by Section 145 of the GCL, subject only to
limits created by applicable Delaware law (statutory or non-statutory), with
respect to action for breach of duty to the Corporation, its stockholders, and
others.
No director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the
Corporation or any stockholder for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty
as a director, except for any matter in respect of which such director shall be
liable under Section 174 of the GCL or any amendment thereto or shall be liable
by reason that, in addition to any and all other requirements for such
liability, such director (1) shall have breached the director's duty or loyalty
to the
3
<PAGE>
Corporation or its stockholders, (2) shall have acted in manner involving
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or, in failing to act,
shall have acted in a manner involving intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, or (3) shall have derived an improper personal benefit. If
the GCL is hereafter amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation
of the liability of a director, the liability of a director of the Corporation
shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the GCL, as so
amended.
Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a
party to or is in any way involved in any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), including any appeal therefrom, by
reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal
representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or a direct
or indirect subsidiary of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request
of the Corporation as a director or officer of another entity or enterprise, or
was a director or officer of a foreign or domestic corporation which was
predecessor corporation of the Corporation or of another entity or enterprise at
the request of such predecessor corporation, shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the Corporation, and the Corporation shall advance all expenses
incurred by any such person in defense of any such proceeding prior to its final
determination, to the fullest extent authorized by the GCL. In any proceeding
against the Corporation to enforce these rights, such person shall be presumed
to be entitled to indemnification and the Corporation shall have the burden of
proving that such person has not met the standards of conduct for permissible
indemnification set forth in the GCL. The rights to indemnification and
advancement of expenses conferred by this Article VIII shall be presumed to have
been relied upon by the directors and officers of the Corporation in serving or
continuing to serve the Corporation and shall be enforceable as contract rights.
Said rights shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification may otherwise be entitled. The Corporation may, upon written
demand presented by a director or officer of the Corporation or of a direct or
indirect subsidiary of the Corporation, or by a person serving at the request of
the Corporation as a director or officer of another entity or enterprise, enter
into contracts to provide such persons with specified rights to indemnification,
which contracts may confer rights and protections to the maximum extent
permitted by the GCL, as amended and in effect from time to time.
If a claim under this Article VIII is not paid in full by the
Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by
the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the
Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in
whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expenses of
prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an
action brought to enforce the right to be advanced expenses incurred in
defending any proceeding prior to its final disposition where the required
undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the Corporation ) that the claimant
has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the GCL for
the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the
claimant shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification and the Corporation
shall have the burden of proving that the claimant has not met the standards of
conduct for permissible indemnification set forth in the GCL.
If the GCL is hereafter amended to permit the Corporation to provide
broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to
provide prior to such
4
<PAGE>
amendment, the indemnification rights conferred by this Article VIII shall be
broadened to the fullest extent permitted by the GCL, as so amended.
ARTICLE IX
The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal
any provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all
rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this
reservation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions set forth in
Articles V, VI, VII, VIII and IX of this Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation may not be repealed or amended in any respect without the
affirmative vote of holders at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding voting stock of
the Corporation entitled to vote at election of directors.
FOUR: The foregoing amendment and restatement has been duly adopted
----
by the Corporation's Board of Directors in accordance with the applicable
provisions of Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware.
FIFTH: The foregoing amendment and restatement was approved by the
-----
holders of the requisite number of shares of the Corporation in accordance with
Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this certificate on

notice.
Section 8. At all meetings of the board a majority of the directors
----------
shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a
majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum

----------
to have a certificate, signed by, or in the name of the corporation by, the
Chairman of the Board of Directors, or the president or a vice-president and the

each class of stock or series thereof and the qualification, limitations or
restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or
summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall
issue to represent such class or series of stock, provided that, except as
otherwise provided in section 202 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, in

officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.
LOST CERTIFICATES
Section 2. The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or
----------
certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates
theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming
the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such
issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its
discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the
owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his/her
legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require
and/or to give the corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity
against any claim that may be made against the corporation with respect to the
certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
TRANSFER OF STOCK
Section 3. Upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of
----------
the corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by
proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer, it shall be
the duty of the corporation to issue a
17
<PAGE>
new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and
record the transaction upon its books.
FIXING RECORD DATE
Section 4. In order that the corporation may determine the
----------
stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or
any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing
without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other
distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in
respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any
other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date,
which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the
date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. A
determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a
meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided,
however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned
meeting.
REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS
Section 5. The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the
----------
exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to
receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and
assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares and shall
not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such
share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have
express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of
Delaware.

ARTICLE VII
GENERAL PROVISIONS
DIVIDENDS
Section 1. Dividends upon the capital stock of the corporation,
----------
subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, if any, may be
declared by the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting, pursuant
to law. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the capital
stock, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation.
Section 2. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out
----------
of any funds of the corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the
directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a
reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for
repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, or for such other
purposes as the directors shall think conducive to the interest of the
corporation, and the directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the
manner in which it was created.
CHECKS
Section 3. All checks or demands for money and notes of the
----------
corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers or such other person or
persons as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate.
FISCAL YEAR
Section 4. The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by
----------
resolution of the Board of Directors.
SEAL
Section 5. The Board of Directors may adopt a corporate seal having
----------
inscribed thereon the name of the corporation, the year of its organization and
the words "Corporate Seal,
19
<PAGE>
Delaware." The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be
impressed or affixed or reproduced or otherwise.
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 6. The corporation shall, to the fullest extent authorized
----------
under the laws of the State of Delaware, as those laws may be amended and
supplemented from time to time, indemnify any director made, or threatened to be
made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil,
administrative or investigative, by reason of being a director of the
corporation or a predecessor corporation or, at the corporation's request, a
director or officer of another corporation, provided, however, that the
corporation shall indemnify any such agent in connection with a proceeding
initiated by such agent only if such proceeding was authorized by the Board of
Directors of the corporation. The indemnification provided for in this Section 6
shall: (i) not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those
indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement or vote of stockholders
or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in their official
capacities and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, (ii)
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, and (iii) inure to the
benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. The
corporation's obligation to provide indemnification under this Section 6 shall
be offset to the extent of any other source of indemnification or any otherwise
applicable insurance coverage under a policy maintained by the corporation or
any other person.
Expenses incurred by a director of the corporation in defending a
civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or
was a director of the corporation (or was serving at the corporation's request
as a director or officer of another corporation) shall be paid by the
corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon
20
<PAGE>
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director to repay such amount
if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified
by the corporation as authorized by relevant sections of the General Corporation
Law of Delaware. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the corporation shall not be
required to advance such expenses to an agent who is a party to an action, suit
or proceeding brought by the corporation and approved by a majority of the Board
of Directors of the corporation which alleges willful misappropriation of
corporate assets by such agent, disclosure of confidential information in
violation of such agent's fiduciary or contractual obligations to the
corporation or any other willful and deliberate breach in bad faith of such
agent's duty to the corporation or its stockholders.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 6 shall be deemed to be a
contract between the corporation and each director who serves in such capacity
at any time while this bylaw is in effect, and any repeal or modification
thereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to
any state of facts then or theretofore existing or any action, suit or
proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought based in whole or in part upon any
such state of facts.
The Board of Directors in its discretion shall have power on behalf of
the corporation to indemnify any person, other than a director, made a party to
any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he, his testator or
intestate, is or was an officer or employee of the corporation.
To assure indemnification under this Section 6 of all directors,
officers and employees who are determined by the corporation or otherwise to be
or to have been "fiduciaries" of any employee benefit plan of the corporation
which may exist from time to time, Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of
Delaware shall, for the purposes of this Section
21
<PAGE>
6, be interpreted as follows: an "other enterprise" shall be deemed to include
such an employee benefit plan, including without limitation, any plan of the
corporation which is governed by the Act of Congress entitled "Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974," as amended from time to time; the
corporation shall be deemed to have requested a person to serve an employee
benefit plan where the performance by such person of his duties to the
corporation also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such
person to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes
assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to such
Act of Congress shall be deemed "fines."
ARTICLE VIII
AMENDMENTS
Section 1. These bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed or new
----------
bylaws may be adopted by the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66-2/3%
vote of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation. These bylaws may also
be altered, amended or repealed or new bylaws may be adopted by the Board of
Directors, when such power is conferred upon the Board of Directors by the
certificate of incorporation. The foregoing may occur at any regular meeting of
the stockholders or of the Board of Directors or at any special meeting of the
stockholders or of the Board of Directors if notice of such alteration,
amendment, repeal or adoption of new bylaws be contained in the notice of such
special meeting. If the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws is conferred upon
the Board of Directors by the certificate of incorporation it shall not divest
or limit the power of the stockholders to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws.

1.2 Requests for Registration.
-------------------------
(1) (a) If the Company shall receive, at any time after six (6) months
from the effective date of the first registration statement for a public
offering of securities of the Company with an aggregate value of not less
than $10,000,000 (other than a registration statement relating either to
the sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock
option, stock purchase or similar plan or a SEC Rule 145 transaction), a
written request from the Holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds
percent (66-2/3%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, then the
Company shall:
(i) within ten (10) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice
of such request to all Holders; and
(ii) use its best efforts to effect as soon as practicable, the
registration under the Act of all Registrable Securities which the Holders
request to be
2
<PAGE>
registered, subject to the limitations of subsection 1.2(1)(b), within
sixty (60) days of the mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance
hereof.
(b) Any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 1.2(1) may
include securities of the Company other than Registrable Securities. If the
Holders initiating the registration request hereunder ("Initiating
Holders") intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their
request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a
part of their request made pursuant to subsection 1.2(1)(a) and the Company
shall include such information in the written notice referred to in
subsection 1.2(1)(a). The underwriter will be selected by the Company and
shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating
Holders. In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder's
Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such
Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such
Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise
mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and
such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to
distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with
the Company as provided in subsection 1.4(e)), enter into an underwriting
agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected
for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
1.2(1), if the underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that
marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of
Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant
hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be
included in the underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders thereof,
including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable)
to the amount of Registrable Securities of the Company owned by each
Holder; provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable
Securities to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless
all other securities of the Company are first entirely excluded from the
underwriting.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to
Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section
1.2(1), a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company
stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the
Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its
shareholders for such registration statement to be filed and it is
therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, the
Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such
filing for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after
receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that
the Company may not utilize this right more than two times.
(d) The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action
to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 1.2(1):
(i) After the Company has effected two registrations pursuant to this
Section 1.2(1) and such registrations have been declared or ordered
effective;
(ii) During the period starting with the date thirty (30) days prior
to the Company's good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending
on a date
3
<PAGE>
one hundred and eighty (180) days after the effective date of a
registration subject to Section 1.3 or Section 1.2(2) hereof; provided that
the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to
cause such registration statement to become effective;
(iii) If the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of
Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3
pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 1.13 below.
(2) (a) If the Company shall receive, at any time after six (6) months
from the effective date of the first registration statement for a public
offering of securities of the Company, a written request from Nike USA,
Inc. ("Nike"), then the Company shall:
(i) within ten (10) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice
of such request to all other Holders; and
(ii) use its best efforts to effect as soon as practicable, the
registration under the Act of all Registrable Securities which the Holders
request to be registered, subject to the limitations of subsection
1.2(2)(b), within sixty (60) days of the mailing of such notice by the
Company in accordance hereof.
(b) Any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 1.2(2) may
include securities of the Company other than Registrable Securities and may
include Registrable Securities held by other Holders. If Nike intends to
distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its request by means of an
underwriting, Nike shall so advise the Company as a part of its request
made pursuant to subsection 1.2(2)(a) and the Company shall include such
information in the written notice referred to in subsection 1.2(2)(a). The
underwriter will be selected by the Company and shall be reasonably
acceptable to Nike. In such event, the right of any Holder to include such
Holder's Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned
upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of
such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise
mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Holders) to the extent
provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities
through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in
subsection 1.4(e)), enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form
with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2(2), if the
underwriter advises Nike in writing that marketing factors require a
limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then Nike shall so
advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be
underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable
Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated
among all Holders thereof in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the
amount of Registrable Securities of the Company owned by each Holder;
provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to
be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other
securities of the Company are first entirely excluded from the underwriting
and, provided further, that no such cutback will prevent Nike from having
the minimum number of Registrable Securities (as set forth in and as
limited by the Company's warrant issued to Nike dated
4
<PAGE>
September 24, 1999 (the "Warrant")) requested to be sold in such offering
(and all other Holders shall be so subordinated).
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to
Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section
1.2(2), a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company
stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the
Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its
shareholders for such registration statement to be filed and it is
therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, the
Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such
filing for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after
receipt of the request of Nike; provided, however, that the Company may not
utilize this right more than two times.
(d) The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action
to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 1.2(2):
(i) After the Company has effected three registrations pursuant to
this Section 1.2(2) and such registrations have been declared or ordered
effective;
(ii) During the period starting with the date thirty (30) days prior
to the Company's good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending
on a date one hundred and eighty (180) days after the effective date of a
registration subject to Section 1.3 or Section 1.2(1) hereof; provided that
the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to
cause such registration statement to become effective;
(iii) If Nike or the other Holders propose to dispose of shares of
Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3
pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 1.13 below; or
(iv) If Nike can sell the maximum number of Registrable Securities as
set forth in and as limited by the Warrant without an effective
registration statement pursuant to Rule 144.
(e) Nike covenants and agrees that the maximum number of the Company's
securities that Nike can sell pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited
by the express terms of the Warrant and applicable securities laws. To the
extent Nike can sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 or
pursuant to the Sections 1.2(1), 1.3 and/or Section 1.13 herein, the
Company's obligations pursuant to this Section 1.2(2) shall be accordingly
reduced. Nike covenants and agrees that it will waive its rights under this
Section 1.2(2) upon receipt of an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably
acceptable to Nike, indicating that Nike could sell with the applicable
time frames set forth in the Warrant all of its Registrable Securities
under Rule 144.
1.3 Company Registration. If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company
--------------------
proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the
Company for shareholders other than the Holders) any of its stock or other
securities under the Act in
5
<PAGE>
connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other
than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in
a Company stock plan, a registration on any form which does not include
substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a
registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities or a
registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being registered or
an SEC Rule 145 transaction), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give
each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of
each Holder given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by the
Company in accordance with Section 2.6, the Company shall, subject to the
provisions of Section 1.9, use its best efforts to cause to be registered under
the Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to
be registered.
1.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 1 to
--------------------------
effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as
expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect
to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder,
keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one
hundred twenty (120) days or until the distribution contemplated in the
Registration Statement has been completed or in the case of a Nike demand
registration statement pursuant to Section 1.2(2) hereof, until all such
Nike Registrable Securities are sold or capable of being sold under Rule
144; provided, however, that (i) such 120-day period shall be extended for
a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains from selling any
securities included in such registration at the request of an underwriter
of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company; and (ii) in the case
of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 which are
intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such 120-day
period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement
effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold, provided that
Rule 415, or any successor rule under the Act, permits an offering on a
continuous or delayed basis, and provided further that applicable rules
under the Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment
permit, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment which (i) includes any
prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or (ii) reflects facts
or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information
set forth in the registration statement, the incorporation by reference of
information required to be included in (i) and (ii) above to be contained
in periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act
in the registration statement.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to
such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of
the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement.
(c) Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus,
including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of
the Act, and such
6
<PAGE>
other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.
(d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered
by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws
of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders;
provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or
as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general
consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless
the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except
as may be required by the Act.
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and
perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and
customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder
participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement.
(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Act of the happening of any event as a
result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as
then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances
then existing.
(g) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder
to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued
by the Company are then listed.
(h) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable
Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such
Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of
such registration.
(i) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of
Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1, on the date that such
Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in
connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 1, if such
securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are
not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration
statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an
opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the
purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily
given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the
underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of
Registrable Securities (only if such offering is underwritten) and (ii) a
letter dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants
of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by
independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten
public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders
requesting registration of Registrable Securities.
1.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations
-------------------
of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the
Registrable
7
<PAGE>
Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company
such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and
the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to
effect the registration of such Holder's Registrable Securities.
1.6 Expenses of Demand Registration. All expenses other than underwriting
-------------------------------
discounts and commissions and fees and expenses of counsel to the Holders
incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to
Section 1.2, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and
qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company shall be borne by the Company, provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration
proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.2 if the registration request is
subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders
shall bear such expenses), provided further, however, that if at the time of
such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the
condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders
at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable
promptness following disclosure by the Company of such material adverse change,
then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses.
1.7 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
---------------------
1.8 Expenses of Company Registration. The Company shall bear and pay all
--------------------------------
expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification
of Registrable Securities with respect to the registrations pursuant to Section
1.3 for each Holder (which right may be assigned as provided in Section 1.14),
including (without limitation) all registration, filing, and qualification fees,
and printers and accounting fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of one
counsel to the Holders selected by them, but excluding underwriting discounts
and commissions relating to Registrable Securities.
1.9 Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an
-------------------------
underwriting of shares of the Company's capital stock, the Company shall not be
required under Section 1.3 to include any of the Holders' securities in such
underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon
between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons
entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the
underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success
of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including
Registrable Securities, requested by shareholders to be included in such
offering under Section 1.3 exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by
the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is
compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required
to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including
Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine in their sole
discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so
included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling shareholders according to
the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each
selling shareholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to
by such selling shareholders). For purposes of the preceding parenthetical
concerning apportionment, for any selling shareholder which is a
8
<PAGE>
holder of Registrable Securities and which is a partnership or corporation, the
partners, retired partners and shareholders of such holder, or the estates and
family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the
benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single "selling
shareholder," and any pro rata reduction with respect to such "selling
shareholder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying
registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such
"selling shareholder," as defined in this sentence.
1.10 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or
---------------------
seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as
the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the
interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.
1.11 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in
---------------
a registration statement under this Section 1:
(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, any
underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such Holder and each person, if
any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Act
or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint
or several) to which they may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act or
other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon
any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a
"Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in such registration statement, including any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any
amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or
alleged violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any state
securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the
1934 Act or any state securities law; and the Company will pay to each such
Holder, underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided,
however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.11(a)
shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim,
damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the
consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim,
damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is
based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
registration by any such Holder, underwriter or controlling person.
(b) Each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration
statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning
of the Act, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such
registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter
or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint
or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under
the Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in
9
<PAGE>
respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case
to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such
Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each
such Holder will pay any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any
person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection 1.11(b), in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, or action; provided, however, that (i) the indemnity agreement
contained in this subsection 1.11(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) in no event shall the
obligations of indemnity of any Holder under this subsection 1.11(b) exceed
the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
1.11 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section
1.11, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the
commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to
participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires,
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the
defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties;
provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other
indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one
counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees
and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of
such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party
would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve
such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under
this Section 1.11, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to
any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.11.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.11 is held by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party
with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to
therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim,
damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the
indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault
of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the
indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission.
10
<PAGE>
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on
indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement
entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in
conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting
agreement shall control.
(f) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.11
shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a
registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.
1.12 Reports Under the 1934 Act. With a view to making available to the
--------------------------
Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act and any other rule or
regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of
the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on
Form S-3, the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after ninety (90) days
after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the
Company for the offering of its securities to the general public;
(b) take such action, including the voluntary registration of its Common
Stock under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, as is necessary to enable the
Holders to utilize Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities,
such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal
year in which the first registration statement filed by the Company for the
offering of its securities to the general public is declared effective;
(c) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents
required of the Company under the Act and the 1934 Act; and
(d) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable
Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company
that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at
any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first
registration statement filed by the Company), the Act and the 1934 Act (at
any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or
that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant
to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most
recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and
documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may
be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of
the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without
registration or pursuant to such form.
1.13 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from any Holder
---------------------
or Holders holding at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Registrable
Securities then outstanding a written request or requests that the Company
effect a registration on Form S-3 the reasonably anticipated price to the public
of which would be at least $3,000,000, and any related qualification or
compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by
such Holder or Holders, the Company will:
11
<PAGE>
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any
related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and
(b) use its best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, such
registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so
requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of
all or such portion of such Holder's or Holders' Registrable Securities as
are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the
Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such
request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15)
days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such
registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 1.13:
(1) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders; (2) if
the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the
Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell
Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate
price to the public (net of any underwriters' discounts or commissions) of
less than $3,000,000; (3) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a
certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good
faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be
seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Form S-3
registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall
have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement
for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request
of the Holder or Holders under this Section 1.13; provided, however, that
the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any six (6)
month period; (4) if the Company has already effected four registrations on
Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 1.13; or (5) in any
particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify
to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in
effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration
statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so
requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the
request or requests of the Holders. All expenses incurred in connection
with a registration requested pursuant to Section 1.13, including (without
limitation) all registration, filing, qualification, printer's and
accounting fees and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company,
but excluding any underwriters' discounts or commissions associated with
Registrable Securities, shall be borne by the Company. Registrations
effected pursuant to this Section 1.13 shall not be counted as demands for
registration or registrations effected pursuant to Section 1.2 or 1.3.
(d) The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration
pursuant to this Section 1.13 if the Company delivers to the Holders
requesting registration under this Section 1.13 an opinion, in form and
substance acceptable to such Holders, of counsel satisfactory to such
Holders, that the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered may
be sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Act.
1.14 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to
---------------------------------
register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be assigned by a
Holder to a transferee or assignee of such securities provided only (a) the
transfer involves Registrable Securities with an aggregate value of not less
than $500,000, or (b) the transfer is to the
12
<PAGE>
constituent partners or members, retired partners or members, or shareholders of
a Holder, any family member or trust for the benefit of any individual holder or
any member of any Investor that is a limited liability company who agree to act
through a single representative, provided that the Company is given a written
notice at the time of or within a reasonable time after such transfer or
assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and
identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are
being transferred or assigned, and, provided further, that the transferee or
assignee of such rights assumes the obligations of such Holder under this
Section 1.
1.15 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of
---------------------------------------------
this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Holders of a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities enter into any
agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company
which would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such
securities in any registration filed under Section 1.2 hereof, unless under the
terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such
securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of
such holder's securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable
Securities of the Holders which is included or (b) to make a demand registration
which could result in such registration statement being declared effective prior
to the date set forth in subsection 1.2(1)(a) or within one hundred twenty (120)
days of the effective date of any registration effected pursuant to Section
1.2(1).
1.16 "Market Stand-Off" Agreement. Each signatory to this Agreement hereby
----------------
agrees that, during the period of duration specified by the Company and an
underwriter of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, following the
effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Act,
it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter,
directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without
limitation, any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer
or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any
securities of the Company held by it at any time during such period except
common stock included in such registration; provided, however, that:
(a) such agreement shall be applicable only to the first such
registration statement of the Company which covers common stock to be sold
on its behalf to the public in an underwritten offering;
(b) all officers and directors of the Company enter into similar
agreements; and
(c) such market stand-off time period shall not exceed one hundred
eighty (180) days.
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-
transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each
signatory to this Agreement (and the shares or securities of every other person
subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period. Nike
covenants and agrees that the obligations in this Section 1.16 shall be in
addition to and not in lieu of its obligations under the Warrant.
13
<PAGE>
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations described in this Section
1.16 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans
on Form S-l or Form S-8 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future,
or a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction on Form
S-4 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future.
1.17 Termination of Registration Rights.
----------------------------------
(a) No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in
this Section 1 after five (5) years following the consummation of the sale
of securities pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company
under the Act in connection with the initial firm commitment underwritten
offering of its securities to the general public.
(b) In addition, the right of any Holder to request registration or
inclusion in any registration pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate on
the closing of the first Company-initiated registered public offering of
Common Stock of the Company if all shares of Registrable Securities held or
entitled to be held upon conversion by such Holder may immediately be sold
under Rule 144 during any ninety (90)-day period, or on such date after the
closing of the first Company-initiated registered public offering of Common
Stock of the Company as all shares of Registrable Securities held or
entitled to be held upon conversion by such Holder may immediately be sold
under Rule 144 during any ninety (90)-day period.

EXHIBIT 4.3
THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT
OR PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
CORPORATION AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK
Corporation: Cedro Group, Inc., a California Corporation
Number of Shares: 44,445 (subject to Section 1.9)
Class of Stock: Series A Preferred (subject to Section 1.9)
Initial Exercise Price: $0.5625 per share (subject to Section 1.9)
Issue Date: December 24, 1997
Expiration Date: December 24, 2002
THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, in consideration of the payment of $1.00 and
for other good and valuable consideration, IMPERIAL BANK or registered assignee
("Holder") is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable
shares of the class of securities (the "Shares") of the corporation (the
"Company") at the initial exercise price per Share (the "Warrant Price") all as
set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this Warrant, subject
to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth of this Warrant.
ARTICLE 1. EXERCISE
--------
1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering
------------------
this Warrant and a fully executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form
attached as Appendix I to the principal office of' the Company, but such
exercise shall not occur prior to May 1, 1998. Unless Holder is exercising the
conversion right set forth in Section 1.2. Holder shall also deliver to the
Company a check for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.2 Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in
----------------
Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in
part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair
market value of the Shares or other securities, otherwise issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair
market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares shall be
determined pursuant to Section 1.5.
1.3 Omitted.
-------
1.4 Omitted.
-------
1.5 Fair Market Value. If the Shares are traded regularly in a public
-----------------
market, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing price of the
Shares (or the closing price of the
<PAGE>
Company's stock into which the Shares are convertible) reported for the business
day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If
tile Shares are not regularly traded in a public market, the Board of Directors
of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith
judgment. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Holder advises the Board of
Directors in writing that Holder disagrees with such determination, then the
Company and Holder shall promptly agree upon a reputable investment banking firm
to undertake such valuation. If tile valuation of such investment banking firm
is greater than that determined by the Board of Directors, then all fees and
expenses of such investment banking firm shall be paid by the Company. In all
other circumstances, such fees and expenses shall be paid by Holder.
1.6 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder
---------------------------------------
exercises or converts this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder
certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully
exercised or converted and has not expired, a new Warrant representing the
Shares not so acquired.
1.7 Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonable
-----------------------
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an
indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company
or, in the case of mutilation, or surrender and cancellation of this Warrant,
the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a
new warrant of like tenor.
1.8 Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the Company.
-----------------------------------------------------------
1.8.1. "Acquisition". For the purpose of this Warrant, "Acquisition"
-----------
means any sale, license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets (including intellectual property) of the Company or any reorganization,
consolidation, or merger of the Company where the holders of the Company's
securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the
outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction.
1.8.2. Assumption of Warrant. If upon the closing of any Acquisition
---------------------
the successor entity assumes the obligations of this Warrant, then this Warrant
shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be
payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this
Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the
Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant Price shall be adjusted
accordingly. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause the surviving
corporation to assume the obligations of this Warrant.
1.8.3. Nonassumption. If upon the closing of any Acquisition the
-------------
successor entity does not assume the obligations of this Warrant and Holder has
not otherwise exercised this Warrant in full, then the unexercised portion of
this Warrant shall be deemed to have been automatically converted pursuant to
Section 1.2 and thereafter Holder shall participate in the Acquisition oil the
same terms as other holders of the same class of securities of the Company.
1.9 Adjustment in Underlying Preferred Stock Price and Exercise Price. If
-----------------------------------------------------------------
on or before February 28, 1998, (i) the Company provides Holder with reasonably
satisfactory written
2
<PAGE>
evidence of receipt by Company of signed, definitive term sheets for a minimum
of $2,000,000 in new equity from investors reasonably acceptable to Holder
("Investors"), and (ii) on or before April 30, 1998 the Company sells and issues
to Investors preferred stock and/or securities convertible into preferred stock
with aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of at least $2,000,000 in cash,
this Warrant shall concurrent with the issuance of such securities automatically
be adjusted to instead be exercisable for shares of the same series and class of
preferred stock and bearing the same rights, preferences, and privileges, of
such shares of stock with the Warrant Price hereunder adjusted to equal the per
share purchase price of such stock, and the number of such shares subject to
this Warrant adjusted to equal (i) Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000),
divided by (ii) such modified per share Warrant Price.
ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES
-------------------------
2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a
----------------------------
dividend on its common stock payable in common stock, or other securities,
subdivides the outstanding common stock into a greater amount of common stock,
then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall
receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to
Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the
date the dividend or subdivision occurred.
2.2 Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Subject to Section 1.8,
------------------------------------------
upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results
in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise
or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon
exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and
property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been
exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or
other event. Such an event shall include any automatic conversion of the
outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as
the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company's Articles of
Incorporation upon the closing of a registered public offering, of the Company's
common stock. The Company or its successor shall promptly, issue to Holder a
new Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall
provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without
limitations adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or
property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this
Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges,
substitutions, or other events.
2.3 Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. Except for the stock split, and
---------------------------------
related amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation contemplated by the
amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation approved by the Company's
Board of Directors at its meeting of December 16, 1997, if the Outstanding
Shares are Subdivided (by stock split or otherwise) into a greater number of
Shares then the number of Shares subject to purchase hereunder shall
automatically increase proportionally, and the Warrant Price per Share shall
automatically decrease proportionately, with the increase in the number of
Shares. If the outstanding Shares are decreased (by reverse stock split or
otherwise) into a lesser number of shares then the number of Shares subject to
purchase hereunder shall automatically decrease
3
<PAGE>
proportionately, and the Warrant Price per Share shall automatically increase
proportionately, with the decrease in the number of Shares.
2.4 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. The Shares will have the exact
----------------------------------
same anti-dilution protection under the Company's Articles of Incorporation as
all other Shares of the same class and series.
2.5 No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles of
-------------
Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times
in good faith assist in carrying all the provisions of this Article 2 and in
taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder's
rights under this Article against impairment. If the Company takes any action
affecting the Shares or its common stock other than as described above that
adversely affects Holder's rights under this Warrant, the Warrant Price shall be
adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that the aggregate Warrant
Price of this Warrant is unchanged.
2.6 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant
-----------------------------
Price the Company, at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment and
furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth
such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company
shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the
Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments
leading to such Warrant Price.
ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
--------------------------------------------
3.1 Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby represents and
------------------------------

conversion of the Shares, shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly

except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable
federal and state Securities laws.

AMENDED AND RESTATED CEDRO GROUP, INC.
1996 STOCK OPTION PLAN
----------------------
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this 1996 Stock Option Plan is to advance the interests of CEDRO
GROUP, INC., a California corporation (the "Company"), by giving the Company's
employees and others who perform substantial services on behalf of the Company
incentive through ownership of the Company's common stock to continue in the
service of the Company and thereby to help the Company compete effectively with
other enterprises for the services of qualified individuals. This Plan is
intended to be an employee stock option plan within the meaning of Section 408
of the California Corporations Code.
2. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
Subject to adjustment as provided in Article 11, the Company is authorized to
issue options ("Options") to purchase up to 1,345,137 shares of its common stock
("Shares"). Any unpurchased Shares that are subject to an Option that
terminates for any reason other than exercise shall, unless this Plan has been
terminated, become available for future grant under this Plan. The Company
shall at all times reserve for issuance pursuant to this Plan a number of its
authorized but unissued Shares equal to the number of Shares issuable under this
Plan. Exercise of an Option shall decrease the number of Shares available for
grant under this Plan.
3. TERM OF PLAN
This Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board of Directors of
the Company (the "Board"). Within 12 months after the date of such adoption,
this Plan shall be approved by the shareholders of the Company in the degree and
manner required under applicable state and federal law. No Option shall become
exercisable unless and until such shareholder approval has been obtained.
Unless sooner terminated under Article 10 or 11, this Plan shall terminate upon
the earlier of (a) the tenth anniversary of its adoption by the Board or (b) the
date on which all Shares available for issuance under this Plan have been
issued. Any Option outstanding under this Plan at the time of its termination
shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms and conditions and those of
this Plan.
4. PARTICIPANTS
4.1. ELIGIBILITY.
The following persons shall be eligible to receive Options under this Plan: (a)
any employee (an "Employee") of the Company or any present or future parent or

Options ("Nonstatutory Options").
4.2. PARTICIPANTS.
The Board shall have the authority in its sole discretion to select the
Employees, Consultants and Outside Directors to whom Options may from time to
time be granted under this Plan ("Participants").
4.3. LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES.
As used in this Plan, the term "Participant" includes any person who acquires
the legal right to exercise a Participant's Options by reason of the death or
incompetence of the Participant.
5. GENERAL TERMS
5.1. OPTION AGREEMENT.
Grants of Options shall be evidenced by a written option agreement ("Option
Agreement"), which shall contain the provisions that this Plan requires and may
contain additional provisions that do not conflict with this Plan as the Board
deems appropriate. Each Option Agreement shall be signed by the Participant and
an officer of the Company designated by the Board. The form of Option Agreement
for use pursuant to this Plan is attached to this Plan. The Board may modify
said form as it deems appropriate, subject to the provisions of this Plan.
Option Agreements need not have identical terms, but each Option Agreement shall
be subject to this Plan.
5.2. EXERCISE PRICE.
5.2.1. GENERAL RULE.
The exercise price of each Incentive Option shall not be less than the
fair market value of the Shares, as the Board may determine, on the date
the Option is granted. The exercise price of each Nonstatutory Option
shall not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the Shares, as the
Board may determine, on the date the Option is granted. It is the
Company's policy that the exercise price of Nonstatutory Options be at
least the fair market value of the Shares on the date the Option is
granted except in unusual circumstances.
5.2.2. TEN PERCENT SHAREHOLDERS.
The exercise price of each Option granted to a Participant who, at the
time the Option is granted, owns, as that term is defined in Section
424(d) of the Code, stock possessing more than 10% of the combined voting
power of all stock of the Company or of its Affiliates, shall be at least
110% of the fair market value of the Shares, as the Board may determine,
on the date the Option is granted.
5.2.3. DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE.
The Board's determination of fair market value shall be final and
conclusive for the purposes of this Plan. In determining fair market
value, the Board may, but is not obligated to, obtain and rely upon an
independent appraisal. If the Company's common stock is publicly traded,
the fair market value of the Shares as of any date shall be
-2-
<PAGE>
determined as follows: (a) if such stock is listed on a stock exchange or
national market system, fair market value shall be the closing sales price
of a share of the Company's common stock (or the closing bid price if no
sales were reported), as quoted on such exchange or system for the last
market trading day before the time of determination; or (b) if such stock
is quoted on the NASDAQ System (but not on its National Market System) or
regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but selling prices are
not reported, fair market value shall be the mean between the high and low
asked prices for such stock for the last market trading day before the
time of determination.
5.3. PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE; TAXES.
5.3.1. FORM OF PAYMENT.
The Participant shall pay the per Share exercise price in full at the time
of exercise by bank cashier's check or, with the approval of the Board, a
promissory note or shares of common stock of the Company, or any
combination of the foregoing such that the aggregate fair market value of
such stock (as determined by the Board) plus cash and notes equals the
total exercise price.
5.3.2. PROMISSORY NOTES.
The Company may require a promissory note to be with full recourse, to be
adequately secured by collateral other than the Shares purchased, and to
bear interest at market or above market rates (if such rates are not
usurious). It is the Company's policy not to accept promissory notes
except in unusual circumstances. Inability to pay cash is not necessarily
an unusual circumstance.
5.3.3. WITHHOLDING TAXES.
The Participant shall pay by bank cashier's check or other form of payment
acceptable to the Company, the amount of any state or federal income or
other tax that the Company is required to pay or withhold upon exercise of
an Option unless the incidence of such tax cannot lawfully be placed on
the Participant.
5.4. CONDITIONS TO EXERCISE.
No Option may be exercised if the transfer of Shares upon such exercise or the
method of payment of consideration for such Shares would constitute a violation
of any applicable securities or other law or regulation. Unless the Shares are
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and any applicable state securities
law, as a condition to exercising an Option, the Participant shall provide the
Company with such written assurances as the Company deems appropriate for the
Option grant and exercise to qualify for exemption from registration. Such
assurances may include, among others, a representation that the Participant
intends to hold the Shares for investment and not for distribution to the
public. The Company has no obligation to register the Options or Shares under
the Securities Act of 1933 or any other law.
5.5. NO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT.
No Option Agreement, nor anything contained in this Plan, shall alter a
Participant's status as an "at will" employee of the Company, confer upon any
Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company, or limit the
right of the Company to terminate a Participant's employment at any time and for
any or no reason.
-3-
<PAGE>
5.6. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.
If transfer of the Shares is restricted under any applicable law, each
certificate-representing such Shares shall bear a legend in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company reflecting that such Shares are so restricted. The
Company may also place a notation on any certificate representing Shares
purchased upon exercise of an Incentive Option. To enforce any restrictions on
transfer of the Shares, the Company may set forth in its stock transfer records
a "stop transfer" order with respect to the Shares. The Company shall not be
liable for any refusal to transfer the Shares on the books of the Company unless
the transfer complies with all terms land conditions of any restrictions imposed
on such Shares.
5.7. CANCELLATION OF OPTION WHEN EMPLOYMENT TERMINATES.
If a Participant exercises an Option after his or her employment or other
relationship terminates, the Company may pay to the Participant an amount equal
to the then Current Market Price (as defined in Section 7.9) of the Shares less
the exercise price of the Shares in lieu of issuing such Shares. The Company
shall not be obligated to deliver such amount to the Participant unless the
Participant accepts such payment in full satisfaction of his or her rights under
the Option exercised.
5.8. MARKET STANDOFF REQUIREMENT.
Each Participant shall, upon the request of the Company or the underwriters
managing any public offering of the Company's securities, refrain from selling
or disposing of any Shares without the prior written consent of the Company and
such underwriters, as the case may be, for such -period of time (not to exceed
180 days) after the effective date of such registration requested by such
managing underwriters and subject to all restrictions as the Company or the
underwriters may specify. The Participant and the Company shall cause any
certificates representing the Shares to bear a legend in substantially the
following form:
SALE, TRANSFER, OR HYPOTHECATION OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE IS PROHIBITED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME FOLLOWING A PUBLIC OFFERING
OF THE STOCK OF THE CORPORATION PURSUANT TO THE 1996 STOCK OPTION PLAN OF
THE CORPORATION.
The legend shall be removed upon any resale of the Shares to the public in an
offering registered with the SEC or pursuant to Rule 144.
6. TERMS OF OPTION AGREEMENTS
6.1. LIMITATION ON INCENTIVE OPTION GRANTS.
The aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the Option is granted)
of the Shares for which one or more Incentive Options granted under this Plan
(or any other incentive stock option plan of the Company or any Affiliate)
become exercisable by a Participant for the first time during any calendar year
shall not exceed $100,000 or such other amount, if any, as may be permitted for
incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code as it may be amended from
time to time. To the extent that any one or more Incentive Options violate this
limitation, such excess Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Options. For
purposes of this Section 6.1. Incentive Options shall be taken into account in
the order in which they were granted, and the
-4-
<PAGE>
fair market value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option
with respect to such Shares was granted.
6.2. DURATION OF OPTION.
6.2.1. GENERAL RULE.
Except as provided in this Section 6.1 and Section 6.3, Options shall be
exercisable only for so long as the Participant has the same relationship
with the Company as an Employee, Consultant or Outside Director as the
Participant had when the Option was granted, but not longer than 10 years
after the date the Option is granted.
6.2.2. EXERCISE FOLLOWING TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.
Upon termination of a Participant's employment or other relationship with
the Company by reason of the Participant's death or disability (within the
meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the Participant or the
Participant's estate or any person who acquires the right to exercise the
option by bequest or inheritance, may exercise the Option at any time
within one year after such termination, but only to the extent that the
Option is exercisable for vested shares on the date of such termination
and does not otherwise expire. Upon termination of a Participant's
employment or other relationship with the Company by reason of the
Participant's disability other than as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the
Code, the Participant may exercise the Option at any time within one year
after termination, but only to the extent that the Option is exercisable
for vested shares on the date of such termination and does not otherwise
expire. Upon termination of a Participant's employment or other
relationship with the Company for any other reason, the Participant may
exercise the Option at any time within 30 days after such termination, but
only to the extent that the Option is exercisable for vested shares on the
date of such termination and does not otherwise expire. Employment shall
not be considered terminated in the case of (a) sick leave; (b) military
leave; (c) any other leave of absence approved by the Board; or (d)
transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company or its
Affiliates. For Consultants, employment terminates when such Consultant
ceases to render services on a periodic basis to the Company or any
Affiliate.
6.2.3. EFFECT OF CHANGE OF RELATIONSHIP.
If a Participant's, employment or other relationship with the Company
terminates but the Participant continues to be eligible under Section 4.1
of this Plan, the Board may, in its sole discretion, elect to permit one
or more of the Participant's Options to continue as if the Participant's
employment or other relationship had not terminated, except that any such
continued Option shall be a Nonstatutory Stock Option if the Participant
is no longer an Employee.
6.2.4. TEN PERCENT SHAREHOLDERS.
Any Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Option is
granted, owns, as that term is defined in Section 424(d) of the Code,
stock possessing more than 10% of the combined voting power of all stock
of the Company or of its Affiliates, shall be exercisable as described in
this Section 6.1, but for no longer than 5 years after the date the Option
is granted.
-5-
<PAGE>
6.3. EXERCISABILITY.
6.3.1. MINIMUM VESTING RATE.
All Options granted under this Plan shall become exercisable at a rate
that, when considered in conjunction with all other then unexercisable
options to purchase common stock of the Company held by the optionee, is
not slower than in cumulative annual increments of 20% per year from the
date of grant. Nothing in this Plan requires Options to be exercisable
immediately upon grant.
6.3.2. EFFECT OF LEAVE OF ABSENCE.
The rate at which Options become exercisable shall be suspended during any
leave of absence that lasts for more than 60 days unless the Board
determines otherwise. A leave of absence shall not extend the term of the
Option. Options may be exercised during a leave of absence only to the
extent that the Options are exercisable on the date the leave of absence
begins unless the Board determines otherwise.
EXAMPLE: Assume that an option vests in five cumulative annual
increments of 20% each on January 1 of each year. The first 20%
vested on January 1, 1996. During 1996, the optionee takes a six
month leave of absence. The remaining increments, instead of
continuing to vest on January 1, will instead vest on July 1, with the
second increment vesting on July 1, 1997.
6.3.3. ELECTION TO RECEIVE RESTRICTED STOCK.
If permitted in the Option Agreement, a Participant may, at the
Participant's election, exercise an Option before it would otherwise be
exercisable. Shares received upon an early exercise shall be deemed
nonvested, and shall vest at the time the Options pursuant to which the
Shares were issued would otherwise have become exercisable. Nonvested
Shares are subject to repurchase pursuant to Article 7 at the exercise
price of the Option pursuant to which they were issued instead of the
Current Market Price.
6.4. EXERCISE OF OPTION.
To exercise an Option for all or part of the Shares, the Participant must do the
following: (a) provide the Chief Financial Officer of the Company with a written
notice of exercise that specifies the number of Shares for which the Option is
being exercised; (b) pay the total exercise price for that number of Shares and
any withholding taxes as provided in Section 5.3; (c) provide the Company with
any written representations as required under Section 5.4; and (d) furnish to
the Company appropriate documentation that the person(s) exercising the Option,
if other than the Participant named in the Option Agreement, have the right to
do so.
6.5. TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION.
Options shall be transferable only by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. Only the Participant may exercise the Options during the
Participant's lifetime, except as provided in subsection 6.2.2. Any other
purported transfer or assignment of any Option shall be void and of no effect.
-6-
<PAGE>
6.6. NOTICE OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION OF INCENTIVE OPTIONS.
Participants shall give the Company written notice of any disposition of any
Share acquired pursuant to exercise of an Incentive Option if such disposition
occurs before the second anniversary of the date the Option was granted or the
first anniversary of the date of purchase of the Share disposed of, whichever
occurs later. A disposition includes any sale, exchange, gift, or other
transfer or attempted transfer of legal title. The notice shall include the
Participant's name, the number of Shares disposed of and the dates and prices
the Shares were both acquired and disposed of.
6.7. ADJUSTMENTS TO OPTION RIGHTS.
Subject to the general limitations of this Plan, the Board may adjust the
exercise price, term, or any other provision of an Option by canceling and
regranting the Option or by amending or substituting the Option. Options that
have been so adjusted may have higher or lower exercise prices, have longer or
shorter terms, or be subject to different rights and restrictions than prior
Options. The Board may also adjust the number of Options granted to a
Participant by canceling outstanding Options or granting additional Options.
Except for adjustments necessary to ensure compliance with any applicable state
or federal law, or adjustments deemed appropriate to reflect a change in a
Participant's duties, employment status, or other relationship with the Company,
no such adjustment shall impair a Participant's rights under any Option
Agreement without the consent of the Participant.
6.8. IDENTIFICATION OF INCENTIVE OPTIONS.
Each Option Agreement shall state whether or not the Option is intended to
qualify as an Incentive Option. If only a portion of an Option is intended to
so qualify, (a) the Option Agreement shall so state, and (b) the Option
Agreement shall not require that the number of Incentive Options exercised
reduces the size of the Nonstatutory Option portion, or vice-versa.
7. SHARE REPURCHASE RIGHT
7.1. RIGHT TO REPURCHASE SHARES.
In the event the Participant's employment or other relationship with the Company
terminates for any reason, with or without cause, the Company or its assignee
may, without the necessity of notice from the Participant, purchase all or, with
the Participant's consent, part of the Participant's nonvested Shares under the
terms and conditions of this Article 7 (the "Share Repurchase Right").
7.2. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER RELATIONSHIP.
For purposes of this Plan, the phrase "employment or other relationship" refers
to the Participant's employment or other relationship with the Company on the
date the Option is granted, as follows:
(a) If the Participant was a full-time Employee, the Participant's
employment will be deemed terminated for the purpose of this Plan if
the Participant becomes a part-time Employee, a Consultant, or an
Outside Director.
(b) If the Participant was a part-time Employee, the Participant's
employment will be deemed terminated for the purpose of this Plan if
the Participant becomes a
-7-
<PAGE>
Consultant or Outside Director but not if the Participant becomes a
full-time Employee.
(c) If the Participant was a Consultant or Outside Director, the
Participant's relationship will be deemed terminated for the purpose
of this Plan if the nature of such relationship changes, unless the
Participant becomes a full-time Employee.
7.3. EXERCISE OF SHARE REPURCHASE OPTION.
The Company or its assignee shall exercise the Share Repurchase Right by giving
written notice (the "Repurchase Notice") to the Participant. If some or all of
the Participant's Shares are held by a transferee when the Participant's
employment or other relationship with the Company terminates, the Company may
repurchase the transferred Shares by giving a Repurchase Notice to the
transferee. The Share Repurchase Right shall expire 60 days after the
Participant gives written notice to the Company of its right to purchase the
Shares.
7.4. SHARE REPURCHASE PRICE.
The price at which the Company may repurchase nonvested Shares shall be the
price at which they were originally issued pursuant to the Option.
7.5. EFFECT OF FAILURE TO EXERCISE SHARE REPURCHASE RIGHT.
If the Company declines to exercise the Share Repurchase Right after a deemed
termination of a Participant's employment or other relationship with the
Company, it may exercise the Share Repurchase Right upon a subsequent
termination of the new employment or other relationship.
7.6. PAYMENT FOR SHARES AND RETURN OF SHARES.
Shares shall be deemed repurchased when the Participant or other holder of the
Shares receives a Repurchase Notice. All rights accorded a holder of such
Shares, other than the right to payment therefor, shall cease at that time. If
there has been a Custodian appointed pursuant to Article 9, the Company shall
deliver the purchase price of any Shares so purchased to the Custodian at the
same time as the Company delivers the Repurchase Notice. If no Custodian has
been appointed, the Company shall deliver the purchase price of any Shares so
purchased to the holder thereof upon tender of the certificates representing
such Shares to the Company's transfer agent. For purposes of the foregoing,
cancellation of any purchase money indebtedness of the Participant to the
Company shall be treated as payment to the Participant in cash to the extent of
the unpaid principal and any accrued interest canceled.
7.7. ASSIGNMENT OF SHARE REPURCHASE RIGHT.
The Company may assign the Share Repurchase Right to one or more persons as may
be selected by the Board. Any such assignee shall pay the Company upon
assignment of the right (unless the assignee is a 100% owned subsidiary of the
Company or is the parent of the Company owning 100% of the Company) cash per
Share equal to the difference between the exercise price and the Current Market
Price of the Share if the exercise price is less than Current Market Price.
7.8. LEGENDS.
Unless a public market exists for the Shares, each certificate representing the
Shares shall bear a legend in form and substance satisfactory to the Company to
the effect that the Shares are subject to the Share Repurchase Right.
-8-
<PAGE>
7.9. "CURRENT MARKET PRICE,"
"Current Market Price" means the fair market value of the Company's common stock
for the purpose of any employee benefit plan of the Company, including this
Plan, or any arm's length transaction, as most recently determined by the Board
of Directors or any committee thereof If the Board of Directors or any committee
thereof has not determined the fair market value of the Company's common stock
within the previous year, or if the board of Directors determines that the
circumstances of the Company have changed materially from the last determination
of fair market value, the Board of Directors shall make a new determination of
fair market value. The fair market value of the Shares will be the price that a
shareholder would receive for the Shares based on the following assumptions:
(a) Either 100% of the stock of the Company will be sold, or the assets
of the Company will be sold as a going concern subject to all
obligations and liabilities, whichever assumption will produce the
greater value, for cash as of the date giving rise to the Company's
right to buy the Shares.
(b) Any income tax consequences to the transaction will be deferred
indefinitely.
(c) The Company is not under pressure to sell and the buyer is not under
pressure to buy.
(d) The Company will continue to be operated in the manner that it has
been operated to the date of sale.
8. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
8.1. RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER.
Except as expressly permitted in an Option Agreement or this Plan, a Participant
shall not transfer, encumber or dispose of any Shares or any interest in the
Shares. Unless expressly permitted in this Plan, a Participant shall not
transfer (voluntarily or involuntarily), encumber, or dispose of any nonvested
Shares or any interest therein. If nonvested Shares are to be transferred
notwithstanding the provisions of this Plan, the price at which the Company may
repurchase such Shares pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be the
exercise price of the Shares.
8.2. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.
In the event a Participant proposes to sell, exchange, transfer, pledge or
otherwise dispose of any Shares (whether voluntarily or involuntarily)
(collectively referred to sometimes herein as a "Transfer"), the Company or its
assignees shall have the right to purchase such Shares under the terms and
conditions of this Article 8 (the "Right of First Refusal").
8.3. NOTICE OF PROPOSED TRANSFER.
Before any proposed Transfer of Shares, a Participant must deliver to the
Company at its principal office (a) a written notice describing the proposed
Transfer and stating the name of the proposed transferee, the number of Shares
to be transferred, and the consideration for which the Shares are to be
transferred (a "Transfer Notice") and (b) a written offer signed by the proposed
transferee (if the proposed transfer is voluntary) to acquire the Shares on the
terms specified in the Transfer Notice, subject only to the Right of First
Refusal.
-9-
<PAGE>
8.4. EXERCISE OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.
If the Company exercises the Right of First Refusal, the Company and the
Participant shall immediately consummate the sale of the Shares to the Company
at the purchase price and on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice. To
exercise the Right of First Refusal, the Company shall deliver to the
Participant a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within 60 days
after the date the Company receives the Transfer Notice. Shares shall be deemed
purchased by the Company when the Participant or other holder of the Shares
receives such notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal. All rights
accorded a holder of such Shares, other than the right to payment therefor,
shall cease at that time. The Company shall pay the purchase price of any
Shares so purchased within 5 business days after tender of the certificates
representing such Shares to the Company's transfer agent. For this purpose,
cancellation of any promissory note from the Participant to the Company shall be
treated as payment to the Participant in cash to the extent of the unpaid
principal and any accrued interest canceled. If the Company purchases any
Shares pursuant to the Right of First Refusal, it must purchase all of the
Shares proposed to be transferred.
8.5. EXCHANGES OR OTHER TRANSFERS.
When the consideration specified in a Transfer Notice is property other than
cash, the Company may nonetheless pay the purchase price for the Shares in cash.
If the consideration so specified has a readily ascertainable fair market value,
the purchase price of the Shares shall be an amount equal to the fair market
value of such consideration. If the specified consideration does not have a
readily ascertainable fair market value, the purchase price shall be the Current
Market Price of the Shares determined as of the date the Company receives the
Transfer Notice.
8.6. FAILURE TO EXERCISE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.
If the Company fails to exercise in full the Right of First Refusal within 60
days from the date the Company receives the Transfer Notice, the Participant may
not later than 120 days following delivery to the Company of the Transfer
Notice, conclude a Transfer of the Shares to the proposed transferee named in
the Transfer Notice on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer
Notice. Any proposed Transfer on terms and conditions different from those
described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed Transfer by
the Participant, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall
require compliance by the Participant with the procedure described in this
Article 8.
8.7. TRANSFEREES OF THE TRANSFER SHARES.
All transferees of any Shares or any interest therein, other than the Company,
shall be required as a condition of such Transfer to agree in writing (in a form
satisfactory to the Company) that such transferee shall receive and hold such
Shares or interests subject to the provisions of this Plan, including without
limitation Article 7 providing for the Share Repurchase Right with respect to
nonvested Shares and Article 8 providing for the Right of First Refusal. Any
sale or Transfer of any Shares shall be void unless the provisions of this
Article 8 are met.
8.8. SPECIAL TRANSFERS.
8.8.1. CREDITORS' PROCEEDINGS.
Upon any proposed Transfer of the Shares in connection with any
receivership, bankruptcy, extension, readjustment, stay, composition, or
other creditors' proceeding regarding a Participant, or the taking of any
of the Shares by legal process (such as levy
-10-
<PAGE>
of execution), the Right of First Refusal shall expire 60 days after the
Company receives a Transfer Notice from the Participant. The time during
which the Company may not exercise its Right of First Refusal shall be
tolled or extended during any time when the Company may be prohibited or
restricted from exercising the Right of First Refusal under applicable
laws or by court ruling. If the Company or its assignee does not exercise
the Right of First Refusal, the Shares may be transferred only pursuant to
the proceeding or transaction that gave rise to the Right of First
Refusal. Shares transferred pursuant to this subsection 8.8.1 shall
continue to be subject to the provisions of the Option Agreement and this
Plan, including without limitation Articles 7 and 8 of this Plan.
8.8.2. DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGE.
If a Participant divides his or her marital, joint, or community property
in connection with a decree of divorce or a property settlement, the
Participant shall use his or her best efforts to retain the Shares and
transfer other assets to his or her spouse in lieu of the Shares. The
other assets the Participant may transfer may include a promissory note
from the Participant to the spouse. In the event of any distribution of
Shares to the Participant's spouse pursuant to a decree of divorce or
property-settlement agreement, the Company shall have, without the
necessity of notice, an irrevocable option to purchase the nonvested
Shares proposed to be transferred at their exercise price and the vested
shares proposed to be transferred at their Current Market Price by giving
a Repurchase Notice to the Participant. The option shall expire 60 days
after the Company receives written notice of such distribution or intended
distribution advising the Company of its right to purchase the Shares. If
the transferee disagrees with the Company's determination of Current
Market Price, the transferee may request that an appraisal be performed.
Any appraisal shall be determined in accordance with the assumptions set
forth in Section 7.9, Unless the Company and the transferee agree
otherwise, the appraiser shall agree in writing to be neutral, shall have
been a full-time business appraiser for the previous five years, and shall
be an Accredited Senior Appraiser of the American Society of Appraisers.
The Company and the transferee shall share the cost of the appraisal
equally.
8.8.3. PLEDGE.
A Participant may pledge Shares (including nonvested Shares) to the
Company or a bank or other financial institution if the pledge or security
agreement under which the Shares are pledged specifies that the pledgee
shall not sell or transfer the Shares (other than to the Participant on
termination of the pledge) without first offering them to the Company
pursuant to Section 8.2. The price at which the Company may purchase any
nonvested Shares shall be the exercise price of the Shares.
8.8.4. FAMILY TRANSFERS.
A Participant may transfer Shares (including nonvested Shares) to the
Participant's spouse, any parent, step-parent, child, or grandchild of the
Participant, or the Participant's spouse, any other relative of the
Participant or the Participant's spouse approved by the Board, or any
trust for the exclusive benefit of the Participant or any such person,
without first offering the same to the Company pursuant to Section 8.2.
Shares so transferred shall remain subject to the Option Agreement and
this Plan. The Right of First Refusal under subsection 8.8.1 shall then
arise when the transferee (as opposed to the Participant)
-11-
<PAGE>
proposes a Transfer in connection with a creditor's proceeding. The Share
Repurchase Right shall arise when the Participant's employment or other
similar relationship terminates, regardless of whether the Shares have
been transferred.
8.9. ASSIGNMENT OF THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.
The Company may assign the Right of First Refusal to one or more persons as may
be selected by the Board.
8.10. TERMINATION OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.
The Right of First Refusal shall terminate when a public market exists for the
Shares. A public market shall be deemed to exist if any of the Company's shares
of common stock have been registered pursuant to Section 5 of the Securities Act
of 1933 or Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and (a) such stock
is listed on a national securities exchange or national market system or (b)
such stock is traded in the over-the-counter market and prices therefor are
published daily for 90 days in a recognized financial journal.
8.11. LEGENDS.
Unless a public market exists for the Shares, each certificate representing the
Shares shall bear a legend in form and substance satisfactory to the Company to
the effect that the Shares are subject to the Right of First Refusal.
9. SHARE DEPOSIT
9.1. DEPOSIT.
As security for the payment of any promissory note delivered in payment of
Shares pursuant to Section 5.3, or for the delivery of certificates for
nonvested Shares subject to repurchase pursuant to Article 7, the Company may
require a Participant to deposit each certificate for Shares securing such
promissory note, or representing such nonvested Shares, with the secretary of
the Company or such other person as the Board may designate ("Custodian") along
with two stock assignments duly endorsed (with date and number of shares blank)
for each certificate. The Company may require the signatures to be guaranteed
by a national bank or a member of a national Stock Exchange. The Custodian
shall then hold the certificates pursuant to the instructions set forth in this
Article 9 and as they may be modified in any Option Agreement.
9.2. COPIES OF NOTICES.
The Company shall give the Custodian a copy of any Repurchase Notice or any
other notice required or permitted under Article 5 or 7, at the same time it
delivers such notices to the intended parties. The Company shall deliver the
purchase price of Shares held by the Custodian along with any Repurchase Notice.
9.3. DELIVERY OF SHARES AND PURCHASE PRICE.
Promptly upon receipt of a Repurchase Notice or notice pursuant to Article 5,
the Custodian shall (a) date the stock assignments necessary for the transfer in
question, (b) fill in the number of Shares being transferred, and (c) deliver
the same, together with the certificate evidencing the Shares to be transferred,
to the transfer agent of the Company. The Custodian shall deliver the purchase
price payable in connection with the repurchase of Shares pursuant to Article 7
to the Participant promptly after receiving it from the Company or its assignee.

Committee's sole judgment deems necessary or appropriate to comply with the
requirements for any exemption from the registration and qualification
requirements of state and federal securities laws, or the requirements of any
other law, including without limitation Securities and Exchange Commission Rule
701, California Corporations Code Section 25102(o), and any other rule,
regulation court decision, or interpretation issued in connection with any such
law.
10.5. REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 16B-3.
In the event that the Company becomes subject to Section 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, this Plan shall be administered in accordance with Rule
16b-3 promulgated under such Act, or any successor rule. Unless the Board
determines otherwise in a specific case, Options granted to persons subject to
Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 must comply with Rule 16b-3
and shall contain such additional conditions or restrictions as may be required
thereunder to qualify for the maximum exemption from Section 16 with respect to
Plan transactions. In addition, to the extent necessary and desirable to comply
with Rule 16b-3 or with Section 422 of the Code (or any other applicable law or
regulation, including the requirements of the NASD or an established stock
exchange), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment
in such a manner and to such a degree as required.
11. ADJUSTMENT OF AND CHANGES IN STOCK
11.1. RECAPITALIZATIONS.
If the number of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock is changed by
any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination, or
reclassification, the number of Shares subject to this Plan and to outstanding
Options, and the exercise price for such Shares, shall be equitably adjusted as
determined by the Board.
11.2. LIQUIDATION.
In the event of the proposed liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the
Company shall notify the Participants at least 10 days before such proposed
action is taken. All unexercised Options shall terminate immediately before
such event.

11.3.1. NOTICE OF REORGANIZATION.
The Company shall give each holder of Options at least 10 days prior
written notice of (a) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets, (b) any reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company
with any other corporation in which the Company is not the surviving
entity (except for a transaction the principal purpose of which is to
change the state in which the Company is incorporated), or (c) any other
corporate reorganization or business combination in which the beneficial
ownership of 50% or more of the Company's voting securities outstanding
is transferred.
11.3.2. RIGHT TO CANCEL OPTIONS.
If an exercisable Option is not exercised within 5 days before such
event, the Company may cancel the Option by paying the Participant an
amount equal to the fair market value of the consideration that the
Participant would receive in exchange for the Shares underlying the
Option, less the exercise price of the Option.
-15-
<PAGE>
11.3.3. EXPIRATION OF OPTIONS.
Unless a successor corporation or parent or subsidiary thereof assumes
the unexercised Options or substitutes options to purchase substantially
equivalent securities of the successor or its parent or subsidiary for
the Options outstanding at the time of the closing of such event, all
outstanding Options shall terminate upon such event.
11.4. REORGANIZATIONS IN WHICH COMPANY SURVIVES.
Upon any other merger or consolidation of the Company in which there is any
adjustment in the common stock of the Company outstanding immediately before
such merger or consolidation, there shall be substituted for each Share then
subject to this Plan, the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities
or property into which each outstanding share of common stock of the Company is
converted by such merger or consolidation.
11.5. OTHER CHANGES.
Upon any other relevant change in the capitalization of the Company, the Board
may provide for an equitable adjustment to the number of Shares then subject to
this Plan, to any Options granted under this Plan, and to the exercise price for
such Shares as it deems appropriate.
11.6. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES.
No right to purchase fractional Shares shall result from any adjustment in
Options pursuant to, this Article 11. Upon any such adjustment, the Shares
subject to Options of each Participant shall be rounded down to the nearest
whole Share. Alternatively, in the Company's discretion, the Shares subject to
Options of each Participant may be rounded up to the nearest whole Share. The
Company shall give notice of any adjustment to each holder of Options that have
been so adjusted. Such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall
be effective and binding for all purposes of this Plan.
12. SUSPENSION OF OPTIONS TO SATISFY SECURITIES LAWS
12.1. POWER TO SUSPEND.
The Board may suspend the exercisability of outstanding Options from time to
time if appropriate to satisfy an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act (such as SEC Rule 504) or any state securities law.
12.2. MINIMUM PERIOD.
The minimum period of suspension shall be long enough to ensure that, under
applicable federal or state securities regulations (such as SEC Rule 502(a)),
sales of stock made before the suspension will not be integrated with sales made
after the suspension.
12.3. MAXIMUM PERIOD.
The maximum period of suspension shall only be so long as needed to ensure that,
under applicable federal or state securities regulations (such as SEC Rule
504(b)(2)(i)), sales made before the suspension will not be aggregated with
sales made after the suspension, unless the Board, in its discretion, determines
that such aggregation will not be detrimental to the best interests of the
Company or the Participants.
-16-
<PAGE>
12.4. OPTION GRANTS DURING SUSPENSION.
The Company may continue to grant Options during a period of suspension,
provided that such Options are not exercisable until after the suspension.
12.5. OPTION TERMINATION DURING PERIOD OF SUSPENSION
If an outstanding Option terminates during a period of suspension or during the
90 day period after the suspension, the Optionee shall have until 90 days after
the suspension to exercise the Option, but in no event later than 10 years after
the date of grant.
12.6. ALLOCATION OF EXERCISE RIGHTS BEFORE SUSPENSION.
If the Board believes that a number of Participants wish to exercise Options to
an extent that would result in non-compliance with an applicable federal or
state securities exemption, the Board may limit the right to exercise
outstanding Options and allocate such right among the Participants in a manner
that the Board determines to be fair.
12.7. ALL OPTIONS MUST BE SUSPENDED.
The Board shall not suspend any Options granted pursuant to this Plan under this
Article 12 unless it suspends all such outstanding Options.
12.8. ADVICE OF COUNSEL.
The Board may rely upon advice of counsel in determining whether to suspend
exercisability of the outstanding Options and in determining the period of
suspension. Nothing contained in this Plan requires the Board to determine the
length of the suspension in advance.
12.9. SUNSET PROVISION.
This Article 12 shall be void and of no force and effect beginning on the date
the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act.
13. INFORMATION TO PARTICIPANTS
13.1. INFORMATION PROVIDED.
The Company shall provide to Participant on a periodic basis (but not less
frequently than annually), financial statements of the Company. The Company may
provide other information regarding the Company as determined by the Board in
its discretion.
13.2. INFORMATION CONFIDENTIAL.
No Participant shall disclose any confidential information about the Company
disclosed to the Participant in his or her capacity as a holder of Options. A
Participant may, however, disclose such information to his or her legal and
financial advisers in connection with advice to be rendered by them to the
Participant, or to any transferee of the Shares, but only if the advisor or
transferee agrees not to further disclose such information or to use the
information for the benefit of anyone other than the Participant, the transferee
as a holder of the Shares, or the Company.
14. TAX STATUS
The Company does not, by way of this Plan, any document, Option Agreement, or
otherwise, represent or warrant to any person, including the Participants, that
the grant or exercise of an
-17-
<PAGE>
Option or the subsequent disposition of Shares obtained by the exercise of an
Option pursuant to this Plan, or any other aspect of this Plan, will have any
particular tax effect.
15. MISCELLANEOUS
15.1. ADDITIONAL ACTIONS AND DOCUMENTS.
Each Participant shall execute and deliver such further documents and
instruments and shall take such other further actions as may be required or
appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Plan or any Option
Agreement.
15.2. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
All obligations imposed upon the Participants and all rights granted to the
Company under this Plan, including without limitation the provisions of Articles
7 and 8, shall be binding upon each Participant's heirs, legal representatives,
successors, and assigns. This Plan, and the Option Agreement with each
Participant, shall be the sole and exclusive source of any and all rights that a
Participant and his or her heirs, legal representatives, or successors shall
have in respect to this Plan or any Options.
15.3. NO THIRD-PARTY, BENEFICIARIES.
Except with respect to the Custodian referenced in Article 9, nothing in this
Plan or any Option Agreement shall (a) confer any rights or remedies on any
persons other than the parties and their respective successors and assigns, (b)
relieve or discharge the obligation of any third person to any party, or (c)
shall give any third person any right of subrogation or action against any
party.
15.4. AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, AND CONSENTS.
Except as provided in this Plan, no Option Agreement shall be amended except in
a writing signed by the Participant and the Company. No waiver or consent shall
be binding except in a writing signed by the party making the waiver or giving
the consent. No waiver of any provision of an Option Agreement or consent to
any action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any
other action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a
continuing waiver or consent, except to the extent specifically set forth in
writing. For the protection of all parties, amendments, waivers, and consents
concerning Option Agreements that are not in writing and signed by the party to
be bound may be enforced only if they are detrimentally relied upon and proved
by clear and convincing evidence. Such evidence may not include the alleged
reliance.
15.5. NOTICE.
Any notice, instruction, or communication required or permitted to be given
under this Plan or any Option Agreement to any party shall be in writing (which
may include telex, telegram, telecopier, or other similar form of reproduction
followed by a mailed hard copy) and shall be deemed given when actually received
or, if earlier, five days after deposit in the United States Mail by certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or two days after deposit with
a nationally recognized air courier, fees prepaid, addressed to the principal
office or residence of such party as shown on the books of the Company, or to
such other address as such party may request by written notice. The Company and
each Participant shall make an ordinary, good faith effort to ensure that the
person to be given notice actually receives such notice.
-18-
<PAGE>
15.6. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
15.6.1. NOTICE.
A party to an Option Agreement who desires money damages or equitable
relief from the other party because of a claim relating to Options,
Shares, this Plan, or an Option Agreement shall give written notice to
the other party of the facts constituting the breach or default (a
"Dispute Notice"). This Section 15.6 is intended to cover all aspects of
the relationship between the parties with respect to Options, Shares,
this Plan, and any Option Agreement, including any claims, based on tort
or other theories. Any additional claims the parties have against each
other shall also be subject to this Section 15.6.
15.6.2. NEGOTIATION.
For fifteen (15) days following delivery of a Dispute Notice (the
"Negotiation Period") the parties shall negotiate to resolve the dispute
in good faith.
15.6.3. MEDIATION.
After the end of the Negotiation Period, either party may request non-
binding mediation with the assistance of a neutral mediator from a
recognized mediation service. The patty requesting the mediation shall
arrange for the mediation services, subject to the approval of the other
party which the other party shall not withhold unreasonably. Mediation
shall take place in Santa Clara or San Mateo County, California.
Mediation may be scheduled to begin any time after expiration of the
Negotiation Period, but with at least 10 days notice to all parties. The
parties shall participate in the mediation in good faith and shall devote
reasonable time and energy to the mediation so as to promptly resolve the
dispute or conclude that they cannot resolve the dispute. The party
requesting the mediation shall bear the cost of mediation except as
provided elsewhere in this Agreement.
15.6.4. ARBITRATION.
If thirty (30) days after beginning mediation the parties have not
resolved the dispute, either party may submit the dispute to final and
binding arbitration pursuant to the commercial rules of the American
Arbitration Association. The arbitrator(s) shall apply the substantive
law of the State of California to the dispute, and shall have the power
to interpret such law to the extent it is unclear. At the request of any
party, the arbitrators, attorneys, parties to the arbitration, witnesses,
experts, court reporters, or other persons present at the arbitration
shall agree in writing to maintain the strict confidentiality of the
arbitration proceedings. At the election of any party, arbitration shall
be conducted by a three neutral arbitrators appointed in accordance with
the commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association if (a) the
amount in controversy is greater than $50,000 (exclusive of interest and
attorneys fees), or (b) a party sought to be enjoined disputes that he or
it has engaged in, or asserts that he or it should be able to engage in,
the actions sought to be enjoined. In all other cases, the matter shall
be arbitrated by a single neutral arbitrator. The parties surrender and
waive the right to submit any dispute to a court or jury, or to appeal to
a higher court. There shall be no arbitration of any claim that would
otherwise be barred by a statute of limitations if the claim were to be
brought in a court of law. The arbitrator shall not have the power to
award punitive, consequential, indirect, or special damages.
-19-
<PAGE>
15.6.5. ARBITRABILITY.
The arbitrators shall have the power to determine what disputes between
the parties are the proper subject of arbitration.
15.6.6. PRELIMINARY REMEDIES.
Notwithstanding this Section 15.6, a party may apply to a court of
competent jurisdiction for prejudgment remedies and emergency relief in
the form of a temporary restraining order pending final determination of
a claim through arbitration in accordance with this Section 15.6.
15.6.7. COSTS AND ATTORNEYS FEES.
If the arbitrator determines that the actions of a party or its counsel
have unreasonably or unnecessarily delayed the resolution of the matter,
the arbitrator may in its discretion require such party to pay all or
part of cost of the mediation and arbitration proceedings payable by the
other party and may require such party to pay all or part of the
attorneys fees of the other party. This provision permits an award of
attorneys fees against a party regardless of which party is the
prevailing party. Otherwise, the parties shall share bear their own
attorney's fees and share the costs of arbitration equally.
15.6.8. ENFORCEMENT.
The award of the arbitrator shall be enforceable according to the
applicable provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure, sections
1280 et seq. A party who fails to participate in a negotiation,
mediation, or arbitration instituted under this Section 15.6, or who
admits to liability and the amount of damage, shall be deemed to have
defaulted. Such default may be entered and enforced the same manner as a
default in a civil lawsuit.
15.7. JURISDICTION AND VENUE.
Each Participant consents to the personal jurisdiction of all federal and state
courts in the state of the Participant's employment and the county of the
Company's principal place of business, and agrees that venue shall lie
exclusively in the county of the Participant's employment if the Participant is
an Employee or former Employee at the time of the dispute, or otherwise in the
county of the Company's principal place of business.
15.8. GOVERNING LAW.
The rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed by, and this Plan
and each Option Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with,
the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflict of laws rules to the
extent such rules would apply the law of another jurisdiction. Incentive
Options granted under this Plan shall be interpreted and administered in
accordance with Section 422 of the Code. If any provision is susceptible of
more than one interpretation, it shall be interpreted in a manner consistent
with this Plan being an incentive stock option plan. If any provision of this
Plan or any Option Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue to be fully
effective.
15.9. PLAN GOVERNS.
If there is any inconsistency between this Plan and any documents related to
this Plan, including any Option Agreement, this Plan shall govern. Nothing in
this Plan shall be construed to
-20-
<PAGE>
constitute, or be evidence of, any right in favor of any person to receive
Options hereunder or any obligation on the part of the Company to issue Options
with respect to its common stock.

EXHIBIT 10.4
FOGDOG, INC.
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered
into this ____ day of _______, 1999 between Fogdog, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), and ((Name)) ("Indemnitee").
WHEREAS, Indemnitee, a member of the Board of Directors or an officer,
employee or agent of the Company, performs a valuable service in such capacity
for the Company;
WHEREAS, the stockholders of the Company have adopted Bylaws (the
"Bylaws") providing for the indemnification of the officers, directors,
employees and agents of the Company to the maximum extent authorized by Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the "Code");
WHEREAS, the Bylaws and the Code, by their non-exclusive nature,
permit contracts between the Company and the members of its Board of Directors,
officers, employees or agents with respect to indemnification of such directors,
officers, employees or agents;
WHEREAS, in accordance with the authorization as provided by the Code,
the Company either has purchased and presently maintains or intends to purchase
and maintain a policy or policies of Directors and Officers Liability Insurance
("D & O Insurance") covering certain liabilities which may be incurred by its
directors and officers in the performance of their duties as directors and
officers of the Company;
WHEREAS, as a result of developments affecting the terms, scope and
availability of D & O Insurance there exists general uncertainty as to the
extent of protection afforded members of the Board of Directors or officers,
employees or agents by such D & O Insurance and by statutory and bylaw
indemnification provisions; and
WHEREAS, in order to induce Indemnitee to continue to serve as a
member of the Board of Directors, officer, employee or agent of the Company, the
Company has determined and agreed to enter into this contract with Indemnitee.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee's continued service as
a director, officer, employee or agent after the date hereof, and for other good
and valid consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
<PAGE>
1. Indemnification of Indemnitee. The Company hereby agrees to hold
-----------------------------
harmless and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent authorized or permitted
by the provisions of the Code, as may be amended from time to time.
2. Additional Indemnity. Subject only to the exclusions set forth in
--------------------
Sections 3 and 6(c) hereof, the Company hereby further agrees to hold harmless
and indemnify Indemnitee:
(a) against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees),
witness fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (including an action by or in the right of the Company) to which
Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a
party, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company, or is or was serving or at any time serves at the request of the
Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise;
and
(b) otherwise to the fullest extent as may be provided to
Indemnitee by the Company under the non-exclusivity provisions of Article VII,
Section 6 of the Bylaws of the Company and the Code.
3. Limitations on Additional Indemnity.
-----------------------------------
(a) No indemnity pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be paid by
the Company:
i) in respect to remuneration paid to Indemnitee if it
shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such
remuneration was in violation of law;
ii) on account of any suit in which judgment is rendered
against Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale
by Indemnitee of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section
16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar
provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law;
iii) on account of Indemnitee's conduct which is finally
adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or to
constitute willful misconduct;
iv) on account of Indemnitee's conduct which is the subject
of an action, suit or proceeding described in Section 6(c)(ii) hereof;
v) on account of any action, claim or proceeding (other
than a proceeding referred to in Section 7(b) hereof) initiated by the
Indemnitee unless such action, claim or proceeding was authorized in the
specific case by action of the Board of Directors;
2
<PAGE>
vi) if a final decision by a Court having jurisdiction in
the matter shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful (and, in this
respect, both the Company and Indemnitee have been advised that the Securities
and Exchange Commission believes that indemnification for liabilities arising
under the federal securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore,
unenforceable and that claims for indemnification should be submitted to
appropriate courts for adjudication); and
vii) except to the extent the aggregate of losses to be
indemnified thereunder exceeds the sum of (a) such losses for which the
Indemnitee is indemnified pursuant to Section 1 hereof and (b) any additional
amount paid to the Indemnitee pursuant to any D & O Insurance purchased and
maintained by the Company.
(b) No indemnity pursuant to Section 1 or 2 hereof shall be paid
by the Company if the action, suit or proceeding with respect to which a claim
for indemnity hereunder is made arose from or is based upon any of the
following:
i) Any solicitation of proxies by Indemnitee, or by a
group of which he was or became a member consisting of two or more persons that
had agreed (whether formally or informally and whether or not in writing) to act
together for the purpose of soliciting proxies, in opposition to any
solicitation of proxies approved by the Board of Directors.
ii) Any activities by Indemnitee that constitute a breach
of or default under any agreement between Indemnitee and the Company.
4. Contribution. If the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 2
------------
hereof is unavailable by reason of a Court decision described in Section
3(a)(vi) hereof based on grounds other than any of those set forth in paragraphs
(i) through (v) of Section 3 (a) hereof, then in respect of any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which the Company is jointly
liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or
proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company on the
one hand and Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from which such
action, suit or proceeding arose, and (ii) the relative fault of the Company on
the one hand and of Indemnitee on the other in connection with the events which
resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company
on the one hand and of Indemnitee on the other shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in
such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts. The Company agrees that
it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4
were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which
does not take account of the foregoing equitable considerations.
5. Notification and Defense of Claim. Not later than thirty (30)
---------------------------------
days after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action,
suit or proceeding, Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against the Company under this
3
<PAGE>
Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof; but Indemnitee's
omission so to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any
liability which it may have to Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement.
With respect to any such action, suit or proceeding as to which Indemnitee
notifies the Company of the commencement thereof:
(a) The Company will be entitled to participate therein at its
own expense.
(a) Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it
may wish, the Company shall, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
notified, be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Indemnitee. After notice from the Company to Indemnitee of its
election to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof, other than
reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Indemnitee
shall have the right to employ its own counsel in such action, suit or
proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from
the Company of the Company's assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the
expense of Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has
been authorized by the Company; (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in
the conduct of the defense of such action; or (iii) the Company shall not in
fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action; in each of

4
<PAGE>
Indemnitee is not entitled, under the provisions of the Code, the Bylaws, this
Agreement or otherwise, to be indemnified by the Company for such expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be
required to advance such expenses to Indemnitee in respect of any action arising
from or based upon any of the matters set forth in subsection (b) of Section 3
or if Indemnitee (i) commences any action, suit or proceeding as a plaintiff
unless such advance is specifically approved by a majority of the Board of
Directors or (ii) is a party to an action, suit or proceeding brought by the
Company and approved by a majority of the Board which alleges willful
misappropriation of corporate assets by Indemnitee, disclosure of confidential
information in violation of Indemnitee's fiduciary or contractual obligations to
the Company, or any other willful and deliberate breach in bad faith of
Indemnitee's duty to the Company or its shareholders.

reasonable fees and expenses, including attorney's fees, in bringing and
pursuing such action.

-----------
Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights
of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents required and shall do
all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company
effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
9. Continuation of Obligations. All agreements and obligations of
---------------------------
the Company contained herein shall commence upon the date that Indemnitee first
became a member of the Board of Directors or an officer, employee or agent of
the Company, as the case may be, and shall continue during the period Indemnitee
is a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (or is or was serving
at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be
subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or investigative, by reason of the fact
that Indemnitee was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or
serving in any other capacity referred to herein.
10. Survival of Rights. The rights conferred on Indemnitee by this
------------------
Agreement shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased to be a director, officer,
employee or other agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of
Indemnitee's heirs, executors and administrators.
11. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on Indemnitee by

agreement, vote of stockholders or directors, or otherwise, both as to action in
his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office;
provided, however, that this Agreement shall supersede and replace any prior
indemnification agreements entered into by and between the Company and
Indemnitee and that any such prior indemnification agreement shall be terminated
upon the execution of this Agreement.
12. Separability. Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a
------------
separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any or
all of the provisions hereof shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for
any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions hereof or the obligation of the Company
to indemnify the Indemnitee to the full extent provided by the Bylaws or the
Code.
13. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced
-------------
in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
14. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon Indemnitee
--------------
and upon the Company, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit

benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns.
15. Amendment and Termination. No amendment, modification,
-------------------------
termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in
writing and is signed by both parties hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement on
and as of the day and year first above written.

The products and/or services to be offered or promoted by Advertiser in the
Advertisements are as follows: Sporting Goods (specifically excluding events,
event tickets and any auction or club services offered by Advertiser) (the
"Advertiser's Products"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Advertiser shall not
be restricted from promoting sporting events and the sale of event tickets on
the Affiliated Advertiser Site. Advertiser agrees to offer AOL the opportunity
to sell on terms as the Parties shall reasonably agree on or off the AOL Network
any and all event tickets offered on the Affiliated Advertiser Site, except
where Advertiser is prohibited via contract or otherwise from extending such
opportunity to AOL.
Impressions Commitment. In the event AOL delivers the impression commitment
- ----------------------
provided for hereunder prior to the Display Stop Date, AOL may, at its option,
discontinue display at such earlier time; provided, however, that AOL shall make
commercially reasonable efforts to generally deliver the impression commitment
evenly over the Term. Any guarantees are to impressions (as measured by AOL in
accordance with its standard methodologies and protocols), not "click-throughs."
In the event there is (or will be in AOL's reasonable judgment) a shortfall in
impressions as of the end of a display period (a "Shortfall"), such Shortfall
shall not be considered a breach of the Agreement by AOL: instead, AOL will
provide Advertiser, as its sole remedy, with "makegood" impressions through
comparable advertisement placements on the AOL Network which have a total value,
based on AOL's then-current advertising rate card, equal to the value of the
Shortfall. To the extent impressions commitments are identified without regard
to specific placements, such placements will be as mutually agreed upon by AOL
and Advertiser during the course of the display period. AOL reserves the right
to alter Advertiser flight dates to accommodate trafficking needs or other
operational needs. In such cases, AOL will make available to Advertiser
comparable equivalent flight(s).
Standard Terms and Conditions. This Insertion Order (this "Insertion Order" or
- -----------------------------
"Agreement") incorporates by reference AOL's standard advertising terms and
conditions (the "Standard Terms"), including terms related to advertising
material, payment modifications, cancellation rights, usage data, limitations of
liability, disclaimers, indemnifications, use of AOL member information and
3
<PAGE>
miscellaneous legal terms. Among other things, the Standard Terms provide AOL
the right to cancel and remove any and all Advertisements, promotions and
Impressions provided under this Insertion Order on thirty days notice to
Advertiser (or upon such shorter notice as may be designated by AOL in the event
that AOL believes that further display of the Advertisement will expose AOL to
liability or other adverse consequences), in which case Advertiser shall only be
responsible for the pro-rata portion of payments attributable to the period
preceding such termination. The Standard Terms appear at keyword "Standard Ad
Terms4" on the U.S.-based America Online brand service and at
http://mediaspace.aol.com/adterms4.html." A hard copy of the Standard Terms
will be provided to advertiser upon request. Advertiser acknowledges that it
has been provided an opportunity to review the Standard Terms and agrees to be
bound by them.
AUTHORIZED SIGNATURES
In order to bind the parties to this Insertion Order, their duly authorized
representatives have signed their names below on the dates indicated. This
Agreement (including (i) the Standard Terms, (ii) the additional terms and
conditions on Exhibit A attached hereto, (iii) the definitions on Exhibit B

5. AOL Quick Checkout. Advertiser will take all reasonable steps necessary to
------------------
conform its promotion and sale of products through the Advertiser Site to
the then-existing commerce technologies made available to Advertiser by
AOL, including without limitation AOL's "quick checkout" tool which allows
AOL users to enter payment and shipping information which is then passed
from AOL's centralized server unit to Advertiser for order fulfillment
("AOL Quick Checkout"). AOL will make all reasonable efforts to provide
the tools for the Advertiser to enable the Advertiser Site with the AOL
Quick Checkout technology and functionality. Collection, storage and
disclosure of information which Advertiser provides to AOL, will be subject
to AOL's privacy

offered by any other party that AOL may reasonably designate or approve
from time to time. Advertiser's participation shall be based upon a

other such party reasonably designated or approved by AOL. Advertiser
hereby authorizes BCE to provide to AOL any and all reports (other than
proprietary reports to which access is password controlled) provided to
Advertiser by BCE, or other third party providing such services, and
agrees to provide written notice of such authorization to BCE, or such
other third party.

hybrid browser format. Additionally, in cases where an AOL User performs a
search for Advertiser through any search or navigational tool or mechanism

to Advertiser through a contest, registration, or other communication,
which included clear notice to the AOL User that the information provided
could result in commercial e-mail being sent to that AOL User by Advertiser
or its agents. Any commercial e-mail communications to AOL Users which are
otherwise permitted hereunder, will (a) include a prominent and easy means
to "opt-out" of receiving any future commercial e-mail communications from
Advertiser, and (b) shall also be subject to AOL's then-standard
restrictions on distribution of bulk e-mail (e.g., related to the time and
manner in which such e-mail can be distributed through or into the AOL
product or service in question).
14. Collection and use of User Information. Advertiser shall ensure that its
--------------------------------------
collection, use and disclosure of information obtained from AOL Users under
this Agreement ("Member Information") complies with (i) all applicable laws
and regulations and (ii) AOL's standard privacy policies, available on the
AOL Service at the keyword term "Privacy" (or, in the case of the
Affiliated Advertiser Site, Advertiser's standard privacy policies so long
as such policies are prominently published on the site and provide adequate
notice, disclosure and choice to users regarding Advertiser's collection,
use and disclosure of user information). Except when required by legal
process, Advertiser will not disclose Member Information collected
hereunder to any third party in a manner that identifies AOL Users as end
users of an AOL product or service or use Member Information collected
under this Agreement to market another Interactive Service.
15. AOL Look and Feel. Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that AOL will own
-----------------
all right, title and interest in and to the AOL Look and Feel (subject only
to Advertiser's ownership rights in any Advertiser trademarks or
copyrighted material within the Affiliated Advertiser Site).
16. Management of the Affiliated Advertiser Site. Advertiser will manage,
--------------------------------------------
review, delete, edit, create, update and otherwise manage all Content
available on or through the Affiliated Advertiser

Site is current, accurate and well-organized at all times. Advertiser
warrants that the Licensed Content : (i) will not infringe on or violate
any copyright, trademark, U.S. patent or any other third party right; (ii)
will not violate AOL's then-applicable Terms of Service; and (iii) will not
violate any applicable law or regulation (federal, state, or otherwise),
including without limitation those relating to taxes, advertising, or
contests, sweepstakes or similar promotions. Additionally, Advertiser
represents and warrants that, to the best of its knowledge, it owns or has
a valid license to all rights to any Licensed Content used in AOL
"slideshow" or other formats embodying elements such as graphics, animation
and sound, free and clear of all encumbrances and without violating the
rights of any other person or entity. Advertiser also warrants that a
reasonable basis exists for all Product performance or comparison claims
appearing through the Affiliated Advertiser Site. Advertiser shall not in
any manner, including, without limitation in any Advertisement, the
Licensed Content, or any Materials (defined below), state or imply that AOL
recommends or endorses Advertiser or Advertiser's Services (e.g., no
statements that Advertiser is an "official" or "preferred" provider of
products or services for AOL). AOL will have no obligations with respect to
the Products available on or through the Affiliated Advertiser Site,
including, but not limited to, any duty to review or monitor any such
Products.
17. Duty to Inform. Advertiser will promptly inform AOL of any information
--------------
related to the Affiliated Advertiser Site which Advertiser believes in good
faith could reasonably lead to a material claim, demand, or liability of or
against AOL and/or its affiliates by any third party.
18. Cross-Promotion
---------------
(a) Online. Advertiser represents that it does not currently include
------
third party promotional banners or buttons ("Third Party Promotions")
on the Affiliated Advertiser Site. In the event that Advertiser elects
to include Third Party Promotions on the Affiliated Advertiser Site in
the future, the Parties agree to discuss in good faith the placement
of AOL promotional material on the Affiliated Advertiser Site and the
payment by AOL to Advertiser of bounties for new AOL Subscribers
attained as a result of such promotional materials.
(b) In Advertiser's television, radio, print and "out of home" (e.g.,
buses and billboards) advertisements and in any publications,
programs, features or other forms of media over which Advertiser
exercises at least partial editorial control, Advertiser will use best
faith efforts to include specific references or mentions (verbally
where possible) of the availability of the Affiliated Advertiser Site
through the AOL Service. Such efforts will include efforts to
accompany Advertiser's listing of the "URL" for any Advertiser Web
Site with a prominent listing of the "keyword" term on AOL for the
Affiliated Advertiser Site. Advertiser will not implement or authorize
any promotion similar in any respect (including, without limitation,
in scope, purpose, amount, prominence or regularity) to the promotion
required or provided pursuant to this Agreement for any other entity
reasonably construed to be competitive to AOL.
19. Promotional Materials/Press Releases. Each Party will submit to the other
------------------------------------
Party, for its prior written approval, which will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, any marketing, advertising, press releases, and all
other promotional materials related to the Affiliated Advertiser Site
and/or referencing the other Party and/or its trade names, trademarks, and
service marks (the "Materials"); provided, however, that either Party's use
of screen shots of the Affiliated Advertiser Site for promotional purposes
will not require the approval of the other Party so long as America
Online(R) is clearly identified as the source of such screen shots; and
provided further, however, that, following the initial public announcement
of the business relationship between the Parties in accordance with the
approval and other requirements contained herein, either Party's subsequent
factual reference to the existence of a business relationship between the
Parties will not require the approval of the other Party. Each Party will
solicit and reasonably consider the views of the other Party in designing
and implementing such Materials. Once approved, the Materials may be used
by a Party and its affiliates for the purpose of promoting the Affiliated
Advertiser Site and the content contained therein and reused for such
purpose until such approval is withdrawn with reasonable prior notice. In
the event such approval is withdrawn, existing inventories of Materials
8
<PAGE>
may be depleted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may issue
press releases and other disclosures as required by law or as reasonably
advised by legal counsel without the consent of the other Party and in such
event, the disclosing Party will provide at least five (5) business days
prior written notice of such disclosure.
20. Term. The effective term (the "Term") hereof shall begin on the Effective
----
Date hereof and end on the two year anniversary thereof, unless otherwise
terminated prior thereto.
21. Continued Link. Upon conclusion of the Term of this Agreement, AOL may, at
--------------
its discretion, continue to promote one or more "pointers" or links from
the AOL Network to the Affiliated Advertiser Site (or, if the Affiliated
Advertiser Site no longer exists, to any Advertiser Interactive Site) and
continue to use Advertiser's trade names, trade marks and service marks in
connection therewith (collectively, a "Continued Link"). After the Term,
regardless of any Continued Link, the following obligations of the Parties
will cease: (i) Advertiser will not be required to pay any guaranteed,
fixed payment, maintain the Affiliated Advertiser Site nor perform any of
the cross-promotional obligations contained herein (except as set forth
below); and (ii) AOL will not be required to undertake any minimum
promotional/placement obligations. However, so long as AOL maintains a
Continued Link (the "Continued Link Period"), the following obligations
shall survive the Term of this Agreement: (i) Advertiser shall pay to AOL
a percentage of all Transaction Revenues (without respect to any revenue
thresholds or hurdles, payable on a quarterly basis within thirty (30) days
following the end of the quarter in which the applicable Transaction
Revenues were generated) equal to [*] and (ii) the Standard Terms shall
survive, together with any provisions necessary if and to the extent
required for the express purposes of this paragraph. For purposes hereof,
"Transaction Revenues" shall mean aggregate amounts paid by AOL
Purchasers connecting to the Advertiser's site by such continued links or
pointers and completing purchase on the same visit, in connection with
the purchase of any of Advertiser's Products in the Affiliated Advertiser
Site, excluding, in each case, (a) amounts collected for sales or use
taxes or duties and (b) credits and chargebacks for returned or canceled
goods or services, (c) handling, shipping and service charges, but not
excluding cost of goods sold or any similar cost. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the calculation of "Transaction Revenues" shall be no less
favorable to AOL than the most favorable calculation (to the partner)
under Advertiser's Affiliate's Program.

--------
(e.g., Secure Socket Layer - SSL) to provide a secure environment for
conducting transactions and/or transferring private member information (e.g.
credit card numbers, banking/financial information, and member address
information) to and from the Affiliated Advertiser Site. Advertiser will
facilitate periodic reviews of the Affiliated Advertiser Site by AOL in
order to evaluate the security risks of such site. Advertiser will
13

promptly remedy any security risks or breaches of security as may be
identified by AOL's Operations Security team.

---------------------
i. Advertiser will design the Affiliated Advertiser Site to support the
AOL-client embedded versions of the Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 and
4.0 browsers (Windows and Macintosh), the Macintosh version of the
Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, and make commercially reasonable
efforts to support all other AOL browsers listed at:
"http://webmaster.info.aol.com/BrowTable.html."
ii. To the extent Advertiser creates customized pages on the Affiliated
Advertiser Site for AOL Members, Advertiser will configure the server
from which it serves the site to examine the HTTP User-Agent field in
order to identify the "AOL Member-Agents" listed at:
"http://webmaster.info.aol.com/Brow2Text.html."
iii. Advertiser will periodically review the technical information made
available by AOL at http://webmaster.info.aol.com.
------------------------------

protocol as defined in RFC 1945 and to adhere to AOL's parameters for
refreshing cached information listed at http://webmaster.info.aol.com.
------------------------------
v. Prior to releasing material, new functionality or features through
------------------------------------------------------------------
the Affiliated Advertiser Site ("New Functionality"), Advertiser will
---------------------------------------------------------------------
use commercially reasonable efforts to either (i) test the New
--------------------------------------------------------------
Functionality to confirm its compatibility with AOL Service client
------------------------------------------------------------------
software or (ii) provide AOL with written notice of the New
-----------------------------------------------------------
Functionality so that AOL can perform tests of the New Functionality to
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
confirm its compatibility with the AOL Service client software.
---------------------------------------------------------------
9. AOL Internet Services Advertiser Support. AOL will provide Advertiser with
----------------------------------------
access to the standard online resources, standards and guidelines
documentation, technical phone support, monitoring and after-hours
assistance that AOL makes generally available to similarly situated web-
based partners. AOL support will not, in any case, be involved with content
creation on behalf of Advertiser or support for any technologies, databases,
software or other applications which are not supported by AOL or are related
to any Advertiser area other than the Affiliated Advertiser Site. Support to
be provided by AOL is contingent on Advertiser providing to AOL demo account
information (where applicable), a detailed description of the Affiliated
Advertiser Site's software, hardware and network architecture and access to
the Affiliated Advertiser Site for purposes of such performance and load
testing as AOL elects to conduct.

AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT is entered into as of September
16, 1998 (this "Restated Loan Agreement") between CEDRO GROUP, INC., a
California corporation (herein called "Borrower"), and IMPERIAL BANK (herein
called "Bank"). This Restated Loan Agreement amends, restated and supersedes in
its entirety the Original Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined).
RECITALS
A. Borrower and Bank entered into that certain Loan Agreement dated as of
December 24, 1997 (the "Original Loan Agreement"), pursuant to which Bank agreed
to extend and make revolving loans available to Borrower under the "Facility-A
Commitment" and the "Facility-B Commitment," and equipment term loans available
to Borrower under the "Facility-C Commitment" (as said terms are defined in the
Original Loan Agreement).
B. The Facility-A Commitment and the Facility-B Commitment under the
Original Loan Agreement have been terminated and Borrower is no longer permitted
to request advances thereunder.
C. Borrower and Bank desire to amend and restate the Loan Agreement in its
entirety to, among other things, modify certain financial covenants and
reporting requirements under the Facility-C Commitment and to extend and make
available to Borrower a term loan facility to be evidenced by the New Term Loan
Commitment (as hereinafter defined), all as more fully set forth herein.
D. Bank has agreed to make and maintain the credit facilities described in
this Restated Loan Agreement, but only upon the terms and subject to the
conditions hereinafter set forth and in reliance on the representations and
warranties set forth herein.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual
covenants hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound, Borrower and
Bank hereby agree as follows:
1. COMMITMENTS.
A. NEW TERM LOAN COMMITMENT. Subject to all the terms and conditions
of this Loan Agreement and prior to the termination of its commitment as
hereinafter provided, Bank hereby agrees to make loans (each a "New Term Loan")

1.A. at any time from the date hereof through September 30, 1999 (the "New Term
Loan Availability End Date"), in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$800,000.00 (the "New Term Loan Commitment"). If at any time or for any reason,
the outstanding principal amount of the New Term Loan Account (as hereinafter
1
<PAGE>
defined) is greater than the New Term Loan Commitment, Borrower shall
immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess. Any commitment of
Bank, pursuant to the terms of this Loan Agreement, to make New Term Loans shall
expire on the New Term Loan Availability End Date, subject to Bank's right to
renew said commitment in its sole and absolute discretion at Borrower's request.
Any such renewal of said commitment shall not be binding upon Bank unless it is
in writing and signed by an officer of Bank. New Term Loans that are repaid by
Borrower may not be reborrowed. Borrower promises to pay to Bank the outstanding
unpaid principal balance (and all accrued unpaid interest thereon) of the New
Term Loan Account on or before September __, 2001 ("New Term Loan Maturity
Date"),

to Borrower hereunder shall be debited to the loan ledger account of Borrower

Loan Account") and Bank shall credit the New Term Loan Account with all loan
repayments in respect thereof made by Borrower. When Borrower desires to obtain
a New Term Loan, Borrower shall notify Bank (which notice shall be signed by an
officer of Borrower and shall be irrevocable) in accordance with Section 2
hereof, to be received no later than 3:00 p.m. Pacific time one (1) Banking Day
(as hereinafter defined) before the day on which the New Term Loan is to be

relating to this Restated Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, which
controversy, dispute or claim is not settled in writing within thirty (30) days
after the "Claim Date" (defined as the date on which a party subject to this
Restated Loan Agreement gives written notice to all other parties that a
controversy, dispute or claim exists), will be settled by a reference proceeding
in California in accordance with the provisions of Section 638 et seq. of the

shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the settlement of any controversy,
dispute or claim concerning this Restated Loan Agreement, including whether such
controversy, dispute or claim is subject to the reference proceeding and except
as set forth above, the parties waive their rights to initiate any legal
proceedings against each other in any court or jurisdiction other than the
Superior Court in the County where the real property, if any, is located or
Santa Clara County, if none (the "Court"). The referee shall be a retired Judge
of the Court selected by mutual agreement of the parties, and if they cannot so
agree within forty-five (45) days after the Claim Date, the referee shall be
promptly selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his/her
representative). The referee shall be appointed to sit as a temporary judge,
with all of the powers for a temporary judge, as authorized by law, and upon
selection should take and subscribe to the oath of office as provided for in

days after the date of selection of the referee and (y) try any and all issues

filing a petition for a hearing and/or trial. All discovery permitted by this
Restated Loan Agreement shall be completed no later than fifteen (15) days
before the first hearing date established by the referee. The referee may extend
such period in the event of a party's refusal to provide requested discovery for
any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, legal objections raised to
such discovery or unavailability of a witness due to absence or illness. No
party shall be entitled to "priority" in conducting discovery. Depositions may
be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and request for

proceeding is conducted including the time and place of all hearings, the order
of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to
the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted
before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court
reporter except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used
at any hearing conducted before the referee. The party making such a request
shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay for the court reporter. The
costs of the court reporter at the trial shall be borne equally by the parties.
(3) The referee shall be required to determine all issues in
accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of
California. The rules of evidence applicable to at law in the State of
California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be
empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, to provide all temporary
and/or provisional remedies and to enter equitable orders that will be binding
upon the parties. The referee shall issue a single judgment at the close of the
reference proceeding that shall dispose of all of the claims of the parties that
are the subject of the reference. The parties hereto expressly reserve the right
to contest or appeal from the final judgment or any appealable order or right
appealable judgment entered by the referee. The parties hereto expressly reserve
the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of
decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which
new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this
provision.
(4) In the event that the enabling legislation which provides for
appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any
dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by the reference
procedure herein described will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The
arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge of the Court, in accordance
with the California Arbitration Act, (S) 1280 through (S) 1294.2 of the CCP as
amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery as set
forth hereinabove shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.

then Sublessee shall be deemed to have waived its right of first refusal to
sublease such available space (which was the subject of the Offer Notice) and
Sublessor may sublease such available space to a third party upon any terms and
conditions desired by Sublessor (whether the same or different than set forth in
the Offer Notice), provided, however, Sublessor may not sublease such available
space to a third party at a rental rate less than ninety percent (90%) of the
rental rate for such available space set forth in the Offer Notice without first
re-offering such space to Sublessee in accordance with the terms of this
Paragraph. If Sublessor subleases the available space to a third party after
Sublessee has rejected Sublessor's offer as stated herein (or after Sublessee
and Sublessor have been unable to enter into a sublease agreement or sublease
amendment within the time period set forth above covering such available space),
then such third party shall accept its interest in the available space free and
clear of Sublessee's rights to sublease the same. Upon the sublease of such
additional space to a third party, Sublessee shall execute and deliver to
Sublessor and/or such prospective third party tenant, any and all documents and
instruments reasonably requested by Sublessor and/or such third party tenant
terminating Sublessee's right to sublease such available space during such
prospective tenant's tenancy. If Sublessee refuses to comply with the provisions
of the immediately preceding sentence, then it shall constitute a material
default by Sublessee under this Sublease.
2.9.2 Anything in this Paragraph 2.9 to the contrary notwithstanding:
a. Sublessee's right to sublease, assign or transfer space pursuant
to this agreement or to exercise its right of first refusal is subject to the
Landlord's right of consent under Section 25 of the Master Lease, and any
sublease, assignment, transfer or exercise of the right of first refusal without
Landlord's consent shall be null and void;
b. If Sublessor determines to extend or renew any then existing
sublease of space in the Building, Sublessor shall not be obligated hereunder to
offer to sublease such space to Sublessee prior to extending or renewing the
term of the then existing sublease; and
c. Sublessor shall not be obligated hereunder to offer to sublease
such space to Sublessee prior to assigning, transferring or subletting such
space to an Affiliate of Sublessor as provided in Section 25.E of the Master
Lease.

<PAGE>
2.9.3 The right of first refusal described in Paragraph 2.9.1 may be
transferred conveyed or assigned by Sublessee to a wholly owned subsidiary, or
parent corporation, or successor corporation of Sublessee. Otherwise, the right
of first refusal may be conveyed, transferred or assigned to a third party only
in connection with an assignment or sublease of the whole of the Subleased
Premises for the entire remainder of the Sublease Term. Any attempted transfer,
assignment or conveyance of such right of first refusal in contravention of this
provision shall be void and of no force and effect.
2.9.4 Sublessor shall have no obligation to offer to sublease available
space to Sublessee pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 2.9 and Sublessee
shall have no rights under this Paragraph 2.9 if Sublessee is in default under
this Sublease, and if Sublessor enters into a sublease of such available space
with a third party during such period of Sublessee's default, the tenant under
such sublease shall take possession of such available space free and clear of
Sublessee's rights under this Paragraph 2.9.
3. SUBLEASE TERM:
3.1 Sublease Term:
The Sublease Term shall be for the period commencing on August 1, 1999 (the
originally scheduled Occupancy Date), and continuing through July 31, 2004 (the
"Initial Term"). In no event shall the Sublease Term extend beyond the Term of
the Master Lease.
3.2 Delivery of Possession:
Sublessor shall deliver substantial possession of the Subleased Premises to
Sublessee on or before August 1, 1999, and shall deliver full possession of the
premises and all services as provided in this Sublease within ten days
thereafter. In reliance on delivery of possession on such date, Sublessee has
made or is making arrangements to vacate its existing office space and to
obligate itself to deliver possession of those premises to another on or about
August 1, 1999. If Sublessee, with Sublessor's consent, takes possession prior
to commencement of the Sublease Term, then Sublessee shall do so subject to all
the covenants and conditions hereof and shall pay Sublease Rent for the period
ending with the commencement of the term at the same rental as that prescribed
for the first month of the term, prorated at the rate of 1/30th thereof per day.
3.3. Option to Extend.
a. Grant of Option. Sublessee shall have the option to extend the
Sublease Term for the remainder of the Master Lease term, which expires on
September 23, 2008 (the "Extended Term"), provided that both at the date of
exercise and at the date of commencement of the Extended Term, Subtenant is not
in default under this Sublease (after taking into account any applicable notice
and cure periods).
b. Exercise of Option. If Sublessee decides to extend the Sublease for
the Extended Term, then Sublessee shall give written notice to Sublessor of its
election to extend not less than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the
Initial Tenn. Sublessee's failure to give timely notice to Sublessor of
Sublessee's election to extend shall be deemed a waiver of Sublessee's right to
extend. The terms and conditions applicable to the Extended Term shall be the
same terms and conditions contained in this Sublease except that Sublessee shall
not be entitled to any
5
<PAGE>
further option to extend. The Base Rent for the Extended Term shall be as
determined in accordance with 3.3.c.
c. Determination of Sublease Base Rent During The Extended Term.
Sublessor shall provide Sublessee with the proposed fair market rental value at
least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term. Sublessor and
Sublessee shall have thirty (30) days after Sublessor provides the proposed fair
market rental value in which to agree on the Sublease Base Rent during the
Extended Term, which shall be the fair market rental value of the Premises
during the Extended Term. The fair market rental value of the Premises during
the Extended Term shall be based on the uses of the Premises permitted under
this Sublease, the quality, size, design and location of the Premises, and the
rental value for sublease renewals or extensions of comparable size, quality and
location, but in no event shall it be less than the scheduled Base Rent for the
last month of the Initial Term. If Sublessor and Sublessee cannot agree on the
Base Rent for the Extended Term during the thirty (30) day period, Sublessee's
Option to Renew shall expire.
4. SUBLEASE RENT:
4.1 Upon execution of this Agreement, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor as
Sublease Rent for the Subleased Premises the sum of Sixty-Nine Thousand Six
Hundred Sixty Seven and 50/100 Dollars ($69,667.50), representing the first
month's Base Rent, plus [TBD] Dollars ($.,) for all NNN expenses for the first

payments required by this Sublease shall be made in U.S. Dollars. Thereafter,
Sublessee shall pay "Sublease Base Monthly Rent" in accordance with the
following schedule:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Months 27,867 Square Feet (Finished) 4,120 Square Feet (Shell) Sublease Base

("NNN"), Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor monthly in proportion to the pro rata
share of the Subleased Premises to the Premises (Year I = 46.63%; Year 2-5 =
53.53%), and to the extent required to be paid on such Subleased Premises by
Sublessor, (i) the property taxes on the Sublease Premises, (ii) the maintenance
of the Sublease Premises and the Building Common Area, and the expenses
resulting therefrom, (iii) for procuring, maintaining and paying for insurance
on the Sublease Premises as provided in the Master Lease; (iv) for the one (1%)
percent management fee charged by Lessor. For those NNN items paid by
Sublessor, Sublessor shall calculate the amount due from Sublessee based on the
square footage occupied by Sublessee and invoice Sublessee. In addition,
Sublessee shall pay Sublessor for the additional shared Building Services not
referenced above on the basis set forth in Exhibit D, and for Utilities and
Services as provided in Section 14. Sublessee shall pay all invoices Net 30
days from receipt. Sublessee shall have the right to audit the books and
records of Sublessor and may request that Sublessor undertake a similar audit of

4.2 The Sublease Rent shall be paid monthly, in advance of the first calendar
day of said month, without deductions, offset, prior notice or demand. If the
commencement date or the termination date of the Sublease occurs on a date other
than the first day or the last day, respectively, of a calendar month, then the
Sublease Rent for such partial month shall be prorated based on a thirty day
month and the prorated rent shall be payable on the Sublease commencement date
or on the first day of the calendar month in which the Sublease termination date
occurs, respectively.
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT:

of this Sublease during the Sublease Term, Sublessor shall return to Sublessee,
within ten (10) days after Sublessee has vacated the Subleased Premises, the
Security Deposit less any sums due and owing to Sublessor. At Sublessee's
option, the Security Deposit may consist of the following: (i) payment of One

(ii) that Sublessee shall provide Lessor and Sublessor with prior written notice
prior to bringing any Hazardous Materials on to the Subleased Premises, (iii)
Sublessee shall, after the Occupancy date, be responsible for the safe storage
and handling of any Hazardous Material which it brings upon or permits to be
brought upon the Subleased Premises, and (iv) Sublessee shall be responsible for
any Remediation efforts that may be required because of Sublessee's occupancy of

beneath the site from one or more off-site sources," but concluded both that
these plumes were not attributable to site operations by Sublessor and that no

sources to a permanent disposal facility as soon as the appropriate government
permits have been issued, and (iii) that Sublessor is solely responsible for the
storage and disposal of these sources.

attached hereto as Exhibit F and is incorporated by this reference.

If Sublessor, pursuant to the Master Lease, is entitled to and receives a rent
abatement, then, to the extent such rent abatement affects the Subleased
Premises, Sublessee shall be entitled to a rent abatement by Sublessor in an
amount that the net rentable area of the Subleased Premises bears to the total
net rentable area of the Master Lease, and only to the extent any such abatement
applies to the Sublease Premises. In addition, if Sublessor is paid or credited
any amounts pursuant to the Master Lease for damage to personal property, then
Sublessor shall pass through a portion of such credit based on the same formula
set forth above. However, the amount of such credit to Sublessee shall, in no
event, exceed the amount of damage actually incurred by Sublessee.

month (based on its present use of and charges for the utilities and services)
(the "Flat Fee") and pass through the remainder of the monthly charges to

proportion to any increases passed-through by the utility companies. If there
should be a substantial change in the occupants of the building, or if Room 124
should ever be built-out, or if there is any valid, additional assignment,
sublease or transfer of any portion of the Building, then the parties shall
renegotiate in good faith the arrangements for sharing of the expenses of the
utilities and services. The Flat Fee is based on the actual bills paid by
Sublessor for the entire Premises from November 1998 through April 1999.
Sublessor shall recalculate the Flat Fee as of the Occupancy Date, taking into
account all the monthly charges incurred prior to the Occupancy Date, and the
adjusted Flat Fee shall apply for the first 6 months of the Sublease Term.

the charges for all utilities and services after six months of occupancy, after
twelve months of occupancy, and every twelve months thereafter.

solely on to the west and north sides of the Building (facing Highway 101),
subject to written consent and approvals from Lessor, Sublessor and the City of
Redwood City. In addition, with the prior written approval of both Sublessor
and Lessor, Sublessee shall also be given a prorata portion of the monument sign
in front of the main lobby. Sublessee shall also be allowed to place an
interior sign in the Lobby of the Building at a location to be mutually
determined in writing prior to the Occupancy Date. Sublessor shall not
unreasonably withhold the approvals required by this Section.

the provisions of the Master Lease ("Sublet"), subject to the prior written
approval of both Lessor and Sublessor,
10
<PAGE>
and such right shall be personal to Sublessee. If Sublessee should desire to
assign its entire interest in the Sublease Premises to a third party, then
Sublessee shall give Sublessor notice in writing of its desire to do so. Within
thirty (30) days from receipt of that notice, Sublessor may elect to terminate
the Sublease. In such event, the parties shall negotiate in good faith the date
of such termination, and Sublessee shall be released from all further liability
under either the Master Lease or the Sublease (except to the extent that any
provisions thereof expressly survive termination). If Lessor and Sublessor
consent to the Sublet, Sublessee may thereafter enter into a valid Sublet of the
Sublease Premises or a portion thereof, upon the terms and conditions and with
the proposed Subtenant set forth in the information furnished by Sublessee to
Lessor and Sublessor, subject, however, to the condition that fifty (50%) of any
excess of the Subrent over the Sublease Rent required to be paid by Sublessee

Master Lease, upon the terms and conditions provided therein. The failure to
provide such documents in a timely manner shall have the consequences set forth
in the Master Lease.
19. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS BY SUBLESSOR:
Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, Sublessor may by written notice
to Sublessee, elect in its sole discretion to increase or decrease the Building
Common Area from time to time during the Term for any reason whatsoever, so long
as Sublessor does not unreasonably interfere with Sublessee's ingress to or
egress from the Building. If Sublessor should remove the Lunch Room 136 from
the Common Area, then Sublessor shall provide sixty (60) days prior written
notice, and shall provide Sublessee with a onetime $10,000 rent credit.

<PAGE>
20. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
Sublessor shall provide a copy of any request received by Sublessor pursuant to
Section 27 of the Master Lease requiring Sublessor to execute an agreement
providing for the subordination of the Master Lease. Sublessee acknowledges
that Sublessor has executed a certain Subordination, Nondisturbance and
Attornment Agreement dated December 16, 1997 whereby Sublessor has agreed to
subordinate the Master Lease to the lien of the deed of trust granted in favor
of Guaranty Federal Bank.

reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time promulgate,
and may, at Landlord's election, renovate, reconstruct and/or improve the
Outside Area and change the configuration or location of the Outside Area. In

<PAGE>

Building Shell and the Tenant Improvements described in EXHIBIT B have been
---------
substantially completed in accordance with their respective plans and
specifications and the building inspector for the City of Redwood City has
signed off on the building permits issued for such improvements. The actual Term
of this Lease shall be determined as follows: if the Term of this Lease
commences in 1997, 1998 or 1999, the Term shall be ten (10) years. If the Term
of this Lease commences in 2000, the Term shall be nine (9) years; and if the
Term of this Lease commences in 2001, the Term shall be eight (8) years. Upon
establishment of the actual Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall execute
a memorandum, in the form set forth in EXHIBIT C, confirming the Commencement
---------
Date and the actual Term of this Lease and stating the actual square footage of
the Building based on the measurements provided by Landlord's architect.
5. Rent.
----
A. Monthly Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in lawful money of
------------
the United States, for each calendar month of the Term, Monthly Rent in an
amount to be determined as set forth in paragraph 5.B., subject to adjustment as
provided in paragraph 5.C. below and paragraph 5 of the Work Letter Agreement.
Monthly Rent shall be paid in advance, on the first day of each calendar month,
without abatement, deduction, claim, offset, prior notice or demand, except that
the estimated Monthly Rent due for the first month of the Term shall be paid by
Tenant as provided in paragraph 2.C. Once the actual Monthly Rent has been
determined, the parties shall amend this Lease to set forth the Monthly Rent due
hereunder for the first twelve (12) months of the Term and if the actual Monthly
Rent exceeds the estimated Monthly Rent paid by Tenant for the first month of
the Term, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord together with the Monthly
Rent due for the second month of Term. If the actual Monthly Rent is less than
the estimated Monthly Rent paid by Tenant, the excess shall be credited against
the Monthly Rent due for the second month of the Term or, at Tenant's option,
reimbursed to Tenant by Landlord within ten (10) business days after
determination of the actual Monthly Rent. In addition to the Monthly Rent,
Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly the management fee described in paragraph 5.D.
and the monthly cost of insurance premiums required pursuant to paragraph 21.C.
B. Calculation of Monthly Rent. The Monthly Rent payable by Tenant
---------------------------
hereunder for the first twelve (12) months of the Term shall be calculated by
applying a fourteen percent (14%) return to the Total Development Cost for the
Building. For example, if the Total Development Cost were $90.00 per square
foot, and the area of the Building were 60,000 square feet, the Total
Development Cost would be $5,400,000.00. Applying a fourteen percent (14%)
return to this amount would result in an annual net rent of $756,000.00, payable
in monthly installments of $63,000 each. As used herein, the term "Total
Development Cost" shall mean all costs of construction for the Building Shell
and the Tenant improvements and all indirect costs (including, but not limited
to, architectural and engineering fees and costs, governmental and permit fees,
all financing costs including loan fees, leasing commission, transaction costs
and interest during construction, and a five percent (5%) fee to Landlord as
developer on development costs). The Total Development Cost shall not include,
however, Landlord's cost of acquiring the land or the value of the land or any
Tenant Improvement costs paid for with the
5
<PAGE>
Additional Allowance described in paragraph 6(a) of the Work Letter Agreement
attached as EXHIBIT B.
---------
C. Adjustments to Monthly Rent. The Monthly Rent shall be adjusted
---------------------------
as of the first day of the 13th month of the Term and every twelve (12) months
thereafter (each, an "Adjustment Date") by the percentage increase in the
Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, All Items, published by the U.S.
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics for the San Francisco-Oakland-
San Jose Metropolitan Area (1982-84=100) (the "Index"). The Index published for
the month immediately preceding each Adjustment Date (the "Current Index) shall
be compared with the Index published for the month immediately preceding the
Commencement Date (the "Beginning Index"), to determine the percentage increase
in the Monthly Rent for the next twelve (12) months of the Term. The Monthly
Rent for any such period (the "Current Monthly Rent") shall be determined by
multiplying the Monthly Rent for the first twelve (12) months of the Term
("Initial Monthly Rent") by the ratio of the Current Index to the Beginning
Index; provided, however, that in no event shall the Monthly Rent for any year
increase by more than three percent (3%) over the Monthly Rent for the preceding
year (the "Previous Monthly Rent"). Thus, the Current Monthly Rent shall be
determined by the following calculations: Current Monthly Rent = Initial Monthly
Rent x (Current Index / Beginning Index) provided that Current Monthly Rent
Previous Monthly Rent x 103%. If no Index is published for either of the months
set forth above, the Index for the next preceding month shall be used. If the
base of the Index is revised, the Index increases, if any, shall be calculated
with a common base year. If the Index is discontinued or revised, such other
governmental index with which it is replaced, with appropriate conversion
factors, shall be the basis of the adjustment.
D. Management Fee. Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly, as
--------------
Additional Rent, a management fee equal to one percent (1%) of the Monthly Rent.
E. Additional Rent. All monies required to be paid by Tenant under
---------------
this Lease, including, without limitation, Real Property Taxes pursuant to
paragraph 15, insurance premiums pursuant to paragraph 21, the management fee
pursuant to paragraph 5.D., and any portion of the Additional Allowance utilized
by Tenant pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Work Letter Agreement, shall be deemed
Additional Rent.
F. Prorations. If the Commencement Date is not the first (1st) day
----------
of a month, or if the termination date of this. Lease is not the last day of a
month, a prorated installment of Monthly Rent based on a 30-day month shall be
paid for the fractional month during which the Lease commences or terminates.
6. Late Payment Charges.
--------------------
Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent
and other charges provided for under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur
costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being
extremely difficult or impracticable to fix. Therefore, if any installment of
Rent or any other charge due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within ten
(10) days after the date such Rent or other charge is due hereunder, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord an additional sum equal to five percent (5%) of the amount
overdue as a late charge for every month or portion thereof that the Rent or
other charges remain unpaid. The
6
<PAGE>
parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of
the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment by Tenant.
Initials:

7. Security Deposit.
----------------
Tenant shall deposit with Landlord an amount equal to twelve (12)
months of the estimated Monthly Rent (determined pursuant to paragraph 5.B.) as
the Security Deposit for the full and faithful performance of every provision of
this Lease to be performed by Tenant Upon determination of the actual Monthly
Rent, the amount of the Security Deposit shall be increased or decreased as
appropriate, to equal twelve (12) months of the actual Monthly Rent payable
hereunder. If the actual amount of the Security Deposit exceeds the estimated
amount paid by Tenant, the difference shall be paid by Tenant on or before the
Commencement Date. If, however, the actual amount of the Security Deposit is
less than the estimated amount paid by Tenant, the excess shall be refunded to
Tenant on or before the Commencement Date. At Tenant's option, the Security
Deposit may be in the form of an irrevocable standby letter of credit ("L-C").
At any time following the commencement of the thirteenth (13th) month of the
Term, the Security Deposit shall be reduced to an amount equal to nine (9)
months of the then scheduled Monthly Rent (taking into account any increases in
Monthly Rent provided for in paragraph 5.C.) provided that Tenant is not then in
default under this Lease and all of the following conditions have been met for
the two (2) calendar years immediately prior to such date:
A. Tenant has posted two (2) consecutive calendar years of profit, as
determined by audited financial statements prepared by independent certified
public accountants.
B. Tenant's ratio of current assets to current liabilities is 1.5 or
higher.
C. Tenant's earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and
total amortization (EBITDA) as a percent of Tenant's' revenues is fourteen
percent (14%) or higher. "Earnings" may include interest income and audited
ongoing royalty income (but shall exclude one-time royalty payments), and shall
include appropriate Deductions for Imputed Rent.
D. The ratio of Tenant's earnings before interest expense, taxes,
depreciation and total amortization (EBITDA) minus capital expenditures (free
cash flow) to Tenant's interest expense is 3.0 or higher. "Earnings" may include
interest income and audited ongoing royalty income (but shall exclude one-time
royalty payments), and shall include appropriate deductions for Imputed Rent.
Capital expenditures excludes the cost of tenant improvements and capital
improvements (less any Landlord reimbursements) made by Tenant under the
Premises 1 Lease. A sample calculation is attached as EXHIBIT D to this
---------
Lease.
At any time following the commencement of the twenty-fifth (25th) month of the
Term, if the Security Deposit has been previously reduced to nine (9) months of
the then scheduled Monthly
7
<PAGE>
Rent, then the Security Deposit shall be further reduced to an amount equal to
six (6) months of the then scheduled Monthly Rent (taking into account any
increases in Monthly Rent provided for in paragraph 5.C.) provided that Tenant
is not then in default under this Lease and all of the conditions set forth in
items A., B., C., and D. above have been met for the calendar year immediately
prior to such date. At any time following the commencement of the thirty-seventh
(37th) month of the Term, if the Security Deposit has been previously reduced to
six (6) months of the then scheduled Monthly Rent the Security Deposit shall be
further reduced to an amount equal to five (5) months of the then scheduled
Monthly Rent (taking into account any increases in Monthly Rent provided for in
paragraph 5.C.) provided that Tenant is not then in default under this Lease and
all of the conditions set forth in items A., B., C., and D. above have been met
for the calendar year immediately prior to such date. At any time following the
commencement of the forty-ninth (49th) month of the Term, if the Security
Deposit has been previously reduced to five (5) months of the then scheduled
Monthly Rent, the Security Deposit shall be further reduced to an amount equal
to four (4) months of the then scheduled Monthly Rent (taking into account, any
increases in Monthly Rent provided for in paragraph 5.C.) provided that Tenant
is not then in default under this Lease and all of the conditions set forth in
items A., B., C., and D. above have been met for the calendar year immediately
prior to such date. When and if the Security Deposit is reduced to an amount
equal to four (4) months of the then scheduled Monthly Rent, the Security
Deposit held by Landlord shall remain at that amount for the balance of the
Term.
The reduced Security Deposit shall be paid by Tenant in cash or in the
form of an L-C. The balance of any cash deposit then held by Landlord shall be
returned to Tenant within ten (10) business days after notice to Landlord of
Tenant's election.
If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, after
the expiration of any applicable cure or grace periods expressly provided in
this Lease, Landlord may apply all or any part of the Security Deposit for the
payment of any rent or other sum in default, the repair of such damage to the
Premises or the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend or become
obligated to spend by reason of Tenant's default or to compensate Landlord for
any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's default
to the full extent permitted by law. If any portion of a cash Security Deposit
is so applied, or any portion of an L-C posted as the Security Deposit, as
applicable, is drawn by Landlord for such purposes, Tenant shall, within ten
(10) business days after written demand therefor, either deposit cash with
Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original
amount or deposit a replacement L-C with Landlord in the amount of the original
L-C. If Tenant is not otherwise in default, the Security Deposit or any balance
thereof shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days of termination of
the Lease.
If at any time Tenant elects to deposit an L-C as the Security
Deposit, the L-C shall be issued by a bank mutually acceptable to Landlord and
Tenant, shall be issued for a term of at least twelve (12) months, and shall be
substantially in the form attached as EXHIBIT E. At the end of each twelve (12)
---------
month term of the L-C, Tenant shall either replace the expiring L-C with an L-C
in an amount equal to the original L-C or renew the expiring L-C, in any event
no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term of the L-C.
If Tenant fails to deposit a replacement L-C or renew the expiring L-C, Landlord
shall have the right to draw upon the expiring L-C for the full amount thereof.
Drawing upon the L-C shall be conditioned only upon
8
<PAGE>
the presentation to the issuer of the L-C of a certified statement executed by a
general partner of Landlord that (i) Tenant is in default under the Lease and
Landlord is exercising its right to draw upon so much of the L-C as is necessary
to cure Tenant's default, or (ii) Tenant has not renewed or replaced an expiring
L-C as required by this Lease and Landlord is authorized to draw upon the L-C
prior to its expiration. The L-C shall not be mortgaged, assigned or encumbered
in any manner whatsoever by Tenant without the prior written consent of
Landlord. The use, application or retention of the L-C, or any portion thereof,
by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy
provided by this Lease or by law, it being intended that Landlord shall not
first be required to proceed against the L-C, and such use, application or
retention shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord
may otherwise be entitled.
8. Holding Over.
------------
If Tenant remains in possession of all or any part of the Premises
after the expiration of the Term, with the express or implied consent of
Landlord, such tenancy shall be month-to-month only and shall not constitute a
renewal or extension for any further term. If Tenant remains in possession
either with or without Landlord's consent, Monthly Rent shall be increased to an
amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Monthly Rent
payable during the last month of the Term, and any other sums due under this
Lease shall be payable in the amount and at the times specified in this Lease.

or its Agents agreed to undertake any Alterations or construct any Tenant

items within thirty (30) days after the walk-through inspection or as soon as
practicable thereafter. Upon completion of such punch-list items, Tenant shall
approve such completed items in writing to Landlord, if Tenant fails to approve

or a prospective tender.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
Purchase and Sale Agreement between Landlord and Tenant for the purchase of the
Project by Landlord, Tenant shall be solely responsible for and shall defend,
indemnify and hold Landlord and its Agents harmless from and against any and all
liabilities, claims, demands, damages and expenses of any kind or nature,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, resulting from, or arising out
of, any Hazardous Materials used, stored, released or disposed of in, on or
about the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, invitees or
subtenants during the Term of this Lease, including without limitation, any

Tenant shall promptly give Landlord written notice of (A) any release or
suspected release of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or adjacent to the
Premises of which Tenant has actual knowledge and that Tenant is required to
report to Landlord or any governmental or regulatory agency under applicable
laws, and/or (B) any investigation, claim, demand, lawsuit or other action by
any governmental or regulatory agency or private party involving the presence or
suspected presence of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or adjacent to the

subject to the following conditions: (A) Tenant is promptly notified in writing
of any such claim(s); (B) Tenant shall have the right to manage the defense of
such claim(s) and any settlement negotiations, provided, however, that Tenant

without Landlord's consent; (C) Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in the
defense and/or settlement of such claim(s); and (D) subject to the provisions
set forth in paragraph 11.B.(iv), Tenant shall have the right to direct and
manage the removal, clean-up and/or remediation (collectively, "Remediation") of
any Hazardous Materials which may be required under paragraph 11.B.(ii) so long
as Tenant is not in default hereunder at the time such Remediation is required
and so long as such Remediation is conducted by Tenant in accordance with all
applicable laws and governmental regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, but without being
required to do so, to defend, adjust, settle or compromise any claim,
obligation, debt, demand, suit or judgment naming Landlord as a defendant or
potentially responsible party arising out of or in connection with the matters
covered by Tenant's indemnity and, in such event, Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for all reasonable charges and expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys' fees; provided, however,
that Landlord shall not undertake any unilateral action or settlement so long as
Tenant or an insurance company, at its or their sole expense, is contesting in
good faith, diligently and with continuity such claim, action, obligation,
demand or suit, and so long as such claim, action, obligation, demand or suit
does not have or threaten to have a material adverse impact on Landlord's
assets, reputation or business affairs and does not, in the reasonable judgment
of the holder of any deed of trust recorded against the Premises, impair or
threaten to impair the value of the security given by Landlord to the holder
under such deed of trust. Tenant acknowledges that the holder of any deed of
trust recorded against the Premises shall have the right, but not the
obligation; to join and participate in any legal proceedings or actions
initiated in connection with any claims covered by Tenant's indemnity if the
holder of such deed of trust has a reasonable basis to believe that its security
under the deed of trust is or might be impaired by such claims or if Landlord is
in default under the terms of the deed of trust.
(iv) Tenant shall not commence any Remediation of any Hazardous
Materials pursuant to paragraph 11.B.(ii) unless and until (A) Landlord has
reasonably approved the environmental consultant and/or engineering firm that

<PAGE>
methods and timing for completing such Remediation of such Hazardous Materials;
and (C) Tenant has provided Landlord with documentary evidence that the
governmental agency(ies) with jurisdiction over such matter has/have approved
Tenant's proposed plan for Remediation of such Hazardous Materials. If Landlord
fails to notify Tenant of Landlord's approval or disapproval of Tenant's
environmental consultant and/or engineering firm or Tenant's proposed scope of
work and proposed methods for completing any Remediation, within thirty (30)
days after Landlord's receipt of the above-specified information, Landlord's
approval shall be deemed given. Tenant shall complete such Remediation in a
diligent manner, in compliance with all applicable laws (including any order
issued for such Remediation) and in accordance with applicable governmental
standards for such Remediation. Upon completion of such removal, clean-up or
other remediation, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copies of any
documentation obtained from any governmental agency(ies) indicating that the
required Remediation was completed and accepted by such agency(ies).
(v) Landlord and Landlord's designated consultants and, in the
event of any default by Landlord under any deed of trust recorded against the
Premises, the holder of such deed of trust and its designated consultants, shall
have the right to enter the Premises at any time in the case of an emergency,
and otherwise at reasonable times with reasonable notice and with reasonable
frequency, for the purpose of verifying compliance by Tenant with all applicable
laws relating to the storage, use or disposal of Hazardous Materials and, in
connection therewith, Landlord or the holder of such deed of trust shall be
entitled to employ experts and/or consultants, at such party's sole expense, to
advise such party with respect to Tenant's installation, operation, use,
monitoring, maintenance, or removal of any Hazardous Materials in, on or from
the Premises. Any parties entering the Premises to verify such compliance by
Tenant as permitted herein shall, at Tenant's request, first execute and deliver
to Tenant a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form attached as
EXHIBIT F. If at any time Landlord obtains a phase I environmental site
- ---------
assessment of the Premises or the Property which discloses the presence or
possible presence of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or adjacent to the
Premises or the Property, and the report generated by the environmental
consultant as a result of such site assessment recommends that further testing
be conducted on the Premises and/or the Property, including invasive testing of
the soil and groundwater, to determine the nature, location and extent of such
Hazardous Materials, Landlord may cause testing and/or monitoring wells to be
installed on or about the Outside Area and may cause the soil and/or ground
water to be tested to detect the presence of Hazardous Materials by the use of
such tests as are then customarily used for such purposes, provided that
Landlord shall use diligent efforts to minimize any inconvenience or disruption
to Tenant's business in connection with such installation and testing. The cost
of installing, operating and removing any such wells shall be paid by the party
requesting the same unless Tenant is liable for such costs pursuant to the terms
of Tenant's indemnity under paragraph 11.B.(ii), Landlord shall provide Tenant
with a copy of any final report generated for Landlord by an environmental
consultant in connection with the Premises or the Property. Landlord may,
however, require Tenant to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement prior
to delivering copies of any such report to Tenant.
(vi) If at any time Landlord determines that Tenant is not in
compliance with any laws relating to the storage, use or disposal of Hazardous
Materials, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the specific laws and the
provisions thereof which Landlord believes Tenant has violated. Except in the
event of any emergency, in which event
12
<PAGE>
Tenant shall promptly take appropriate action to correct any violation(s),
Tenant shall have thirty (30) days after Landlord's notice to correct any such
violation(s); provided, however, that if Tenant or Tenant's environmental
consultant disagrees with Landlord's determination that a violation has
occurred, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly select an independent environmental
consultant or environmental attorney mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant
to review the alleged violation and the determination of such consultant or
attorney shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. The cost of such consultant
or attorney's services shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant. If
Landlord and Tenant fail to agree on the independent consultant to be selected
for such purposes, the consultant shall be selected in accordance with the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Landlord
agrees that Landlord shall not notify any governmental or regulatory agency of
any violation by Tenant of any laws relating to the use, storage or disposal of
Hazardous Materials unless (A) Landlord has first notified Tenant in writing of
such, violation, and (B)Tenant has failed to notify the appropriate governmental
or regulatory agency(ies) to the extent required by applicable laws and to
provide Landlord with a copy of any such notice(s).
(vii) For the purposes of this Lease, the term "Hazardous
Materials" shall mean any substance, material or waste which is or becomes
regulated by any local government authority, the State of California, or the
United States Government, including, but not limited to, any material or
substance which is (a) petroleum, (b) asbestos, (c), polychlorinated biphenyls,
(d) designated as a "hazardous substance" pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean
Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq. (33 U.S.C. 1321) or listed pursuant to Section
307 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1317), (e) defined as a "hazardous waste"
pursuant to Section 1004 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42
U.S.C. 6901 et seq. (42 U.S.C. 6903), or (f) defined as a "hazardous substance"
pursuant to Section 101 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq. (42 U.S.C. 9601).
Nothing contained in this paragraph 11.B. shall be deemed to require Tenant to
comply with any Hazardous Materials requirements or standards that are stricter
than those imposed by applicable governmental or regulatory agencies.
12. Quiet Enjoyment.
---------------
Landlord covenants that Tenant, upon performing the terms, conditions
and covenants of this Lease, shall have quiet and peaceful possession of the
Premises as against any person claiming the same by, through or under Landlord.
13. Alterations.
-----------
After the Commencement Date, Tenant shall not make or permit any
Alterations in, on or about the Premises, without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however,
that Landlord's consent shall not be required for any nonstructural Alterations
that do not exceed Twenty-Five Thousand and no/100ths Dollars ($25,000.00) in
cost. In no event, however, shall Tenant make any: (i) Alterations to the
exterior of the Building; (ii) Alterations to and penetrations of the roof of
the Building; or (iii) Alterations visible from outside the Building without the
prior written consent of Landlord, to which Landlord may withhold Landlord's
consent on wholly aesthetic grounds.
13
<PAGE>
All Alterations shall be installed at Tenant's sole expense, in compliance with
all applicable laws, by a licensed contractor, shall be done in a good and
workmanlike manner conforming in quality and design with the Premises existing
as of the Commencement Date, and shall not diminish the value of either the
Building or the Premises. All Alterations made by Tenant shall be and become the
property of Landlord upon installation and shall not be deemed Tenant's Personal
Property; provided, however, that Landlord shall notify Tenant upon Landlord's
consent to such Alterations by Landlord (or if Landlord's consent is not
required, upon written request by Tenant) whether Tenant will be required to
remove, at Tenant's expense, such Alterations from the Premises at the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease and to return the Premises to
their condition as of the Commencement Date of this Lease, normal wear and tear
excepted and subject to the provisions of paragraph 23. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Lease, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the
maintenance and repair of any and all Alterations made by it to the Premises.
Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of Tenant's intention to perform work
on the Premises at least ten (10) days prior to the commencement of such work to
enable Landlord to post and record a Notice of Nonresponsibility or other notice
deemed proper before the commencement of any such work.
14. Surrender of the Premises.
-------------------------
Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall
surrender the Premises to Landlord in its condition existing as of the
Commencement Date, normal wear and tear and fire or other casualty excepted,
with all interior walls repaired if damaged, all broken, marred or nonconforming
acoustical ceiling tiles replaced, all windows washed, the plumbing and
electrical systems and lighting in good order and repair, including replacement
of any burned out or broken light bulb or ballasts, the HVAC equipment serviced
and repaired by a reputable and licensed service firm, and all floors cleaned,
all to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. Tenant shall remove from the
Premises all of Tenant's Alterations required to be removed pursuant to
paragraph 13, and all Tenant's Personal Property, and repair any damage and
perform any restoration work caused by such removal. If Tenant fails to remove
such Alterations and Tenant's Personal Property, and such failure continues
after the termination of this Lease, Landlord may retain such Property and all
rights of Tenant with respect to it shall cease, or Landlord may place all or
any portion of such Property in public storage for Tenant's account. Tenant
shall be liable to Landlord for costs of removal of any such Alterations and
Tenant's Personal Property and storage and transportation costs of same, and the
cost of repairing and restoring the Premises, together with interest at the
Interest Rate from the date of expenditure by Landlord. If the Premises are not
so surrendered at the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord
and its Agents against all loss or liability, including reasonable attorneys'
fees and costs, resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises.
Normal wear and tear, for the purposes of this Lease, shall be
construed to mean wear and tear caused to the Premises by a natural aging
process which occurs in spite of prudent application of the best standards for
maintenance, repair and janitorial practices. It is not intended, nor shall it
be construed, to include items of neglected or deferred maintenance which would
have or should have been attended to during the Term of the Lease if the best
standards had been applied to properly maintain and keep the Premises at all
times in good condition and repair.
14
<PAGE>
15. Real Property Taxes.
-------------------
A. Payment by Tenant. On or before April 10 and December 10 of each
-----------------
year of the Term, Tenant shall pay directly to the San Mateo County assessor
Tenant's percentage of the Real Property Taxes for the Property as set forth on
the assessor's tax bill for the Property, which percentage shall be determined
by dividing the area of the Building by the total area of the Building plus the
buildings at 1228 Douglas Avenue, 1250 Douglas Avenue, and 550 Broadway and
multiplying the result by 100. Promptly following payment of the Real Property
Taxes, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of paid receipts or other
documentary evidence that the Real Property Taxes have been paid by Tenant. If
Tenant fails to pay the Real Property Taxes on or before April 10 and December
10, respectively, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any penalty incurred by such late
payment. In addition, Tenant shall pay any Real Property Tax not included within
the county tax assessor's tax bill within ten (10) days after being billed for
same by Landlord. The foregoing dates are based on the dates established by the
county as the dates on which Real Property Taxes become delinquent if not paid.
If such delinquency dates change, the dates on which Tenant must pay the Real
Property Taxes for the Property shall be at least ten (10) days prior to the
delinquency dates. Assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed
by governmental agencies for such purposes as fire protection, street, sidewalk,
road, utility construction and maintenance, refuse removal and for other
governmental services which may formerly have been provided without charge to
property owners or occupants. It is the intention of the parties that all new
and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges are to be included
within the definition of Real Property Taxes for purposes of this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall not be liable for
any increase in Real Property Taxes resulting from a reassessment of the
Premises or the Property in connection with the sale or transfer of the Property
in the following instances: (i) the sale or transfer occurs during the first
five (5) years of the Term and a prior sale or transfer of the Premises or the
Property (causing an increase in Real Property Taxes) has occurred during such
five (5) year period, or (ii) the sale or transfer occurs during the sixth (6th)
through tenth (10th) years of the Term. Tenant shall, however, be liable for any
increase in Real Property Taxes resulting from a reassessment of the Premises or
the Property in connection with the first sale or transfer of the Premises or
the Property that occurs during the first five (5) years of the Term. For
purposes of this paragraph 15, the "first sale or transfer of the Premises or
the Property" shall not include the sale of the Project by Tenant to Landlord.
B. Taxes on Tenant Improvements and Personal Property. Tenant shall
--------------------------------------------------
pay any increase in Real Property Taxes resulting from any and all Alterations
and Tenant Improvements of any kind whatsoever placed in, on or about the
Premises for the benefit of, at the request of, or by Tenant. Tenant shall pay
prior to delinquency all taxes assessed or levied against Tenant's Personal
Property in, on or about the Premises. When possible, Tenant shall cause its
Personal Property to be assessed and billed separately from the real or Personal
Property of Landlord.
C. Proration. Tenant's liability to pay Real Property Taxes shall be
---------
prorated on the basis of a 365-day year to account for any fractional portion of
a fiscal tax year included at the commencement or expiration of the Term. With
respect to any assessments which may be levied against or upon the Property, or
which under the laws then in force may be evidenced by improvements or other
bonds or may be paid in annual installments, only the amount of such
15
<PAGE>
annual installment (with appropriate proration for any partial year) and
interest due thereon shall be included within the computation of the annual Real
Property Taxes levied against the Premises.
16. Utilities and Services.
----------------------
Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay promptly all charges for
water, gas. electricity, telephone, refuse pick-up, janitorial service and all
other utilities, materials and services furnished directly to or used by Tenant
in, on or about the Premises during the Term, together with any taxes thereon.
Landlord shall not be liable in damages or otherwise for any failure or
interruption of any utility service or other service furnished to the Premises,
except that resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.
17. Repair and Maintenance.
----------------------
A. Landlord's Obligations. Landlord shall keep in good order,
----------------------
condition and repair the structural parts of the Building, which structural
parts include only the foundation, subflooring, exterior walls (excluding the
interior of all walls and the exterior and interior of all windows, doors,
ceilings, and plateglass), and the roof structure of the Building, except for
any damage thereto caused by the negligence or willful acts or omissions of
Tenant or of Tenant's agents, employees or invitees, or by reason of the failure
of Tenant to perform or comply with any terms of this Lease, or caused by
Alterations made by Tenant or by Tenant's agents, employees or contractors. It
is an express condition precedent to all obligations of Landlord to repair and
maintain that Tenant shall have notified Landlord of the need for such repairs
or maintenance. Tenant waives the provisions of Sections 1941 and 1942 of the
California Civil Code and any similar or successor law regarding Tenant's right
to make repairs and deduct the expenses of such repairs from the Rent due under
this Lease.
B. Tenant's Obligations. Tenant shall at all times and at its own
--------------------
expense clean, keep and maintain in good order, condition and repair every part
of the Premises which is not within Landlord's obligation pursuant to paragraph
17.A. Tenant's repair and maintenance obligations shall include the roof
membrane, all plumbing and sewage facilities within the Premises, fixtures,
interior walls and ceiling, floors, windows, doors, entrances, plate glass,
showcases, skylights, all electrical facilities and equipment, including
lighting fixtures, lamps, fans and any exhaust equipment and systems, all
mechanical and HVAC systems, any automatic fire extinguisher equipment within
the Building, electrical motors and all other appliances and equipment of every
kind and nature located in, upon or about the Building or the Premises. Tenant
shall also maintain the landscaping, parking lots, exterior lighting, signage,
and any other facilities located within the boundaries of the Premises
(collectively, the "Outside Area") in good order, condition and repair,
consistent with the reasonable maintenance standards established by Landlord for
the balance of the Project. If at any time Landlord determines that Tenant's
repair and maintenance of the Outside Area is not consistent with the reasonable
maintenance standards established by Landlord for the balance of the Project,
Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of any such deficiencies. If Tenant
fails to cure such deficiencies within thirty (30) days after receipt of
Landlord's notice, Landlord shall have the right, on thirty (30) days' written
notice to Tenant to assume responsibility for maintenance and repair of the
Outside Area. In such event, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord monthly, as
Additional Rent, for the costs incurred by Landlord
16
<PAGE>
to maintain and repair the Outside Area. Tenant shall also be responsible for
all pest control within the Premises. Tenant shall maintain the HVAC systems in
accordance with manufacturer recommendations, which shall include replacement of
filters, oiling and lubricating of machinery, parts replacement, adjustment of
drive belts, oil changes and other preventive maintenance, including annual
maintenance of duct work, interior unit drains and caulking at sheet metal, and
recaulking of jacks and vents on an annual basis. At Tenant's option, Tenant may
either obtain HVAC systems preventive maintenance contracts for such purpose, or
utilize Tenant's facilities maintenance personnel to maintain the HVAC systems
provided that Tenant can demonstrate to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction that
any facilities maintenance personnel designated for such maintenance have
sufficient experience to properly maintain the HVAC system in good operating
condition and repair. In either event, Tenant shall have the benefit of all
warranties available to Landlord regarding the equipment in such HVAC systems.
If Tenant elects to maintain the HVAC systems through a preventive maintenance
contract, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all HVAC maintenance
reports on a quarterly basis, including copies of contractor recommendations for
repairs and/or replacements. If any reasonable repairs and/or replacements are
recommended by the contractor, Tenant shall perform such repairs and/or
replacements and shall provide Landlord with evidence that such repairs and/or
replacements have been completed in accordance with the contractor's
recommendations. If, however, Tenant elects to utilize its facilities
maintenance personnel to maintain the HVAC system, Landlord may, at Landlord's
election, have the HVAC systems inspected by a licensed HVAC contractor on an
annual basis to confirm whether Tenant has maintained the HVAC systems as
required herein. The cost of any such annual inspections shall be paid by Tenant
within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord. The HVAC
contractor engaged for such purpose shall be selected by Landlord after
receiving competitive bids from at least three (3) licensed HVAC contractors
acceptable to Landlord and Tenant.
C. Compliance with Governmental Regulations. Tenant shall, at its
----------------------------------------
cost, comply with, including the making by Tenant of any Alterations to the
Premises, all present and future regulations, rules, laws, ordinances, and
requirements of all governmental authorities (including, without limitation
state, municipal, county and federal governments and their departments, bureaus,
boards and officials) arising from Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises or
Tenant's enjoyment of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord, and
not Tenant, shall be obligated to make any Alterations to the structural parts
of the Buildings maintained by Landlord pursuant to paragraph 17.A. that are
required to comply with any present and future regulations, rules, laws,
ordinances, and governmental requirements unless such Alterations to the
structural parts of the Building are required solely as a result of any other
Alterations to the Building made by Tenant during the Term of this Lease, in
which case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of any such Alterations
to the structural parts of the Building that are required to comply with
regulations, rules, laws, ordinances and governmental requirements.
18. Liens.
-----
Tenant shall keep the Building and the Premises free from any liens
arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred
by or on behalf of Tenant and hereby indemnities and holds Landlord and its
Agents harmless from all liability and cost, including attorneys' fees and
costs, in connection with or arising out of any such lien or claim of
17
<PAGE>
lien. Tenant shall cause any such lien imposed to be released of record by
payment or posting of a proper bond reasonably acceptable to Landlord within ten
(10) days after written request by Landlord. Tenant shall give Landlord written
notice of Tenant's intention to perform work on the Premises which might result
in any claim of lien at least ten (10) days prior to the commencement of such
work to enable Landlord to post and record a Notice of Nonresponsibility. If
Tenant fails to so remove any such lien within the prescribed ten 10-day period,
then Landlord may do so at Tenant's expense and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
for such amounts upon demand. Such reimbursement shall include all costs
incurred by Landlord including Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees with
interest thereon at the Interest Rate.
19. Landlord's Right to Enter the Premises.
--------------------------------------
Tenant shall permit Landlord and its Agents to enter the Premises,
including the Building, at all reasonable times with reasonable notice, except
for emergencies in which case no notice shall be required, to inspect the same,
to post Notices of Nonresponsibility and similar notices, and real estate "For
Sale" signs, to show the Premises to interested parties such as prospective
lenders and purchasers, to make necessary repairs, to discharge Tenant's
obligations hereunder when Tenant has failed to do so within a reasonable time
after written notice from Landlord, and at any reasonable time within one
hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Term, to place upon
the Building and the Outside Area ordinary "For Lease" signs and to show the
Premises to prospective tenants. The above rights are subject to reasonable
security regulations of Tenant, and to the requirement that Landlord shall at
all times act in a manner to cause the least possible interference with Tenant's
business.
20. Signs.
-----
Subject to Tenant obtaining all necessary approvals from the City of
Redwood City and subject to Landlord's review and approval of plans and
specifications for any proposed signage, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, Tenant shall have the right to install Tenant
identification signage on the exterior of the Building. Tenant shall not
install any Tenant identification sign in any other location in, on or about the
Premises or the Property without Landlord's prior written consent, and shall not
display or erect any other Tenant identification sign, display or other
advertising material that is visible from the exterior of the Building.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to install directional
signs on the Premises, subject to Landlord's approval of the size, design and
location of such signs, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any
changes to the size, design, color or other physical aspects of Tenant's
identification sign (s) shall be subject to the Landlord's prior written
approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The cost of Tenant's
sign(s), and their installation, maintenance and removal shall be Tenant's sole
expense. If Tenant fails to maintain its sign(s), or, if Tenant fails to remove
its sign(s) upon termination of this Lease, Landlord may do so at Tenant's
expense and Tenant's reimbursement to Landlord for such amounts shall be deemed
Additional Rent.

Landlord arising out of or in connection with the matters covered by the
foregoing indemnity and, in such event, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all
reasonable charges and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith,
including reasonable attorneys' fees; provided, however, that Landlord shall not
undertake any unilateral action or settlement so long as Tenant or an insurance
company, at its or their sole expense, is contesting in good faith, diligently
and with continuity such claim, action, obligation, demand or suit, and so long
as such claim, action, obligation, demand or suit does not have or threaten to
have a material adverse impact on Landlord's assets, reputation or business
affairs.
(ii) Landlord hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless
Tenant from and against any and all damage, loss, liability or expense,

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, but without being required to do so, to defend, adjust, settle or

impact on Tenant's assets, reputation or business affairs.
B. Tenant's Insurance. Tenant agrees to maintain in full force and
------------------
effect at all times during the Term, at its own expense, for the protection of
Tenant and Landlord, as their interests may appear, policies of insurance which

liability broad form property damage, personal injury, completed operations,
products liability, and fire damage legal (in an amount not less than Twenty-
Five Thousand and no/100ths Dollars ($25,000.00)), which policy shall name
Landlord and its Agents as additional insureds and shall contain a provision
that "the insurance provided Landlord hereunder shall be primary and non-
contributing with any other insurance available to Landlord with respect to any
damage, loss, liability or-expense covered by Tenant's indemnity obligations
under paragraph 21.A.(i) of the Lease."
(ii) Causes of loss - special form property insurance (including,
without limitation, vandalism, malicious mischief, inflation endorsement, and
sprinkler leakage endorsement) on Tenant's Personal Property located on or in
the Premises. Such insurance shall be in the full amount of the replacement
cost, as the same may from time to time increase as a result of inflation or
otherwise. As long as this Lease is in effect, the proceeds of such policy shall
be used for the repair and replacement of such items so insured. Landlord shall
have no interest in the insurance proceeds on Tenant's Personal Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right, at its election, to
self-insure with respect to any loss or damage to Tenant's Personal Property.
(iii) Boiler and machinery insurance, including steam pipes,
pressure pipes, condensation return pipes and other pressure vessels and HVAC

C. Premises Insurance. During the Term Landlord shall maintain causes
------------------
of loss-special form property insurance (including inflation endorsement
sprinkler leakage endorsement, and, at Landlord's option, earthquake and flood
coverage) on the Building, excluding coverage of all Tenant's Personal Property
located on or in the Premises, but including the Tenant Improvements. Such
insurance shall also include insurance against loss of rents, including, at
Landlord's option, coverage for earthquake and flood, in an amount equal to the
Monthly Rent and Additional Rent, and any other sums payable under the Lease,
for a period of at least twelve (12) months commencing on the date of loss. Such

lender's loss payable endorsement in favor of Landlord's lender (Form 438 BFU
Endorsement). The deductible payable under any causes of loss - special form
policy of insurance (or its equivalent) maintained by Landlord on the Building
shall not exceed $250,000 per occurrence without the prior written consent of
Tenant and, for as long as the Building is insured by Landlord under a policy
that covers all of the buildings within the Property and, if applicable, all of
the buildings within the Project, such deductible shall apply in the aggregate
to all of the buildings within the Property and, if
20
<PAGE>
applicable, to all of buildings within the Project, on a per occurrence basis.
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord monthly, as Additional Rent, for one-twelfth
(12th) of the annual cost of such insurance on the first day of each calendar
month of the Term, prorated for any partial month, or on such other periodic
basis as Landlord shall elect. If the insurance premiums are increased after the
Commencement Date due to an increase in the value of the Building or its
replacement cost, or due to Tenant's use of the Premises or any improvements
installed by Tenant, Tenant shall pay such increase within ten (10) days of
notice of such increase. If, however, Landlord elects to maintain a policy or
policies of earthquake insurance on the Building, Tenant shall be required to
reimburse Landlord for any premiums allocable to such insurance policies only if
Landlord maintains such insurance coverage on all buildings within the Project
and such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates.
D. Increased Coverage. Upon demand, Tenant shall provide Landlord, at
------------------
Tenant's expense, with such increased amount of existing insurance, and such
other insurance as Landlord or Landlord's lender may reasonably require to
afford Landlord and Landlord's lender adequate protection.
E. Co-Insurer. If, on account of the failure of Tenant to comply with
----------
the foregoing provisions, Landlord is adjudged a co-insurer by its insurance

Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive all rights of recovery against
the other on account of loss or damage occasioned to such waiving party for its
property or the property of others under its control to the extent that such
loss or damage would be covered by any causes of loss special form policy of
insurance or its equivalent. The foregoing waiver shall apply notwithstanding,
and shall not be affected by, Tenant's election to self-insure with respect to
any loss or damage to Tenant's Personal Property. Tenant and Landlord shall,
upon obtaining policies of insurance required hereunder, give notice to the
insurance carrier that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained
in this Lease and Tenant and Landlord shall cause each insurance policy obtained
by such party to provide that the insurance company waives all right of recovery

damage covered by such policy.
23. Damage or Destruction.
---------------------
A. Landlord's Obligation to Rebuild. If all or any part of the
--------------------------------
Building is damaged or destroyed, Landlord shall promptly and diligently repair
the same unless it has the right to terminate this Lease as provided herein and
it elects to so terminate.
B. Right to Terminate. Landlord shall have the right to terminate
------------------
this Lease in the event any of the following events occur:
(i) Insurance proceeds are not available to pay one hundred
percent (100%) of the cost of such repair, excluding the deductible for which
Tenant shall be responsible;
(ii) The Building cannot, with reasonable diligence, be fully
repaired by Landlord within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the
damage or destruction; or
(iii) The Building cannot be safely repaired because of the
presence of hazardous factors, including, but not limited to, earthquake faults,
radiation, chemical waste and other similar dangers.
If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord may give Tenant
written notice of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after such
damage or destruction, and this Lease shall terminate fifteen (15) days after
the date Tenant receives such notice and both Landlord and Tenant shall be
released of all further liability under this Lease (except to the extent any
provision of this Lease expressly survives termination). If Landlord elects not
to terminate the Lease, subject to Tenant's termination right set forth below,
Landlord shall promptly commence the process of obtaining necessary permits and
approvals and repair of the Building as soon as practicable, and this Lease will
continue in full force and affect. All insurance proceeds from insurance under
paragraph 21, excluding proceeds for Tenant's Personal Property, shall be
disbursed and paid to Landlord. Tenant shall be required to pay to Landlord the
amount of any deductibles payable in connection with any insured casualties,
unless the casualty was caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord.
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease if the Building
cannot, with reasonable diligence, be fully repaired within one hundred, eighty
(180) days from the date of damage or destruction. The determination of the
estimated repair periods in this paragraph 23
22
<PAGE>
shall be made by an independent licensed contractor or engineer within thirty
(30) days after such damage or destruction. Landlord shall deliver written
notice of the repair period to Tenant after such determination has been made and
Tenant shall exercise its right to terminate this Lease, if at all, within ten
(10) days of receipt of such notice from Landlord. Upon such termination both
Landlord and Tenant shall be released of all further liability under this Lease
(except to the extent any provision of this Lease expressly survives
termination).
C. Limited Obligation to Repair. Landlord's obligation, should it
----------------------------
elect or be obligated to repair or rebuild, shall be limited to the basic
Building and the Tenant Improvements and shall not include any Alterations made
by Tenant .
D. Abatement of Rent. Rent shall be temporarily abated
-----------------
proportionately during any period when, by reason of such damage or destruction,
there is substantial interference with Tenant's use of the Building, having
regard to the extent to which Tenant may be required to discontinue Tenant's use
of the Building. Such abatement shall commence upon such damage or destruction
and end upon substantial completion by Landlord of the repair or reconstruction
which Landlord is obligated or undertakes to do. Tenant shall not be entitled to
any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the Premises,
damage to Tenant's Personal Property or any inconvenience occasioned by such
damage, repair or restoration. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section
1932, Subdivision 2, and Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the California Civil
Code, and the provisions of any similar law hereinafter enacted.
E. Damage Near End of Term. Anything herein to the contrary
-----------------------
notwithstanding, if the Building is destroyed or damaged during the last twelve
(12) months of the Term, then either Landlord or Tenant may, at its option,
cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of such damage
by delivery of written notice to the other party and, upon such termination,
Landlord and Tenant shall be released of all further liability under this Lease
(except to the extent that any provision of this Lease expressly survives
termination). If neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, the
repair of such damage shall be governed by paragraphs 23.A. and 23.B.
24. Condemnation.
------------
If title to all of the Premises or Building or so much thereof is
taken for any public or quasi-public use under any statute or by right of
eminent domain so that reconstruction of the Building will not, in Landlord's
and Tenant's mutual opinion, result in the Premises being reasonably suitable
for Tenant's continued occupancy for the uses and purposes permitted by this
Lease, this Lease shall terminate as of the date that possession of the Premises
or Building or part thereof be taken and upon such termination both Landlord and
Tenant shall be released of all further liability under this Lease (except to
the extent any provision of this Lease expressly survives terminations. A sale
by Landlord to any authority having the power of eminent domain, either under
threat of condemnation or while condemnation proceedings are pending, shall be
deemed a taking under the power of eminent domain for all purposes of this
paragraph.
If any part of the Premises or Building is taken and the remaining
part is reasonably suitable for Tenant's continued occupancy for the purposes
and uses permitted by this
23
<PAGE>
Lease, this Lease shall, as to the part so taken, terminate as of the date that
possession of such part of the Premises or Building is taken and upon such
termination both Landlord and Tenant shall be released of all further liability
under this Lease with respect to that portion of the Premises or the Building
that is taken (except to the extent any provision of this Lease expressly
survives termination). The Rent and other sums payable hereunder shall be
reduced in the same proportion that Tenant's use and occupancy of the Building
is reduced. If any portion of the Outside Area is taken, Tenant's Rent shall be
reduced only if such taking materially interferes with Tenant's use of the
Outside Area and then only to the extent that the fair market rental value of
the Premises is diminished by such partial taking. If the parties disagree as to
the amount of Rent reduction, the matter shall be resolved by arbitration and
such arbitration shall comply with and be governed by the California Arbitration
Act, Sections 1280 through 1294.2 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
Each party hereby waives the provisions of Section 1265.130 of the California
Code of Civil Procedure allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to
terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises.
Landlord and Tenant shall each be entitled to one-half ( 1/2) of that
portion of the condemnation award that is properly allocable to the value of the
leasehold estate created by this Lease. Except for the foregoing allocation, no
award for any partial or entire taking of the Premises or the Property shall be
apportioned between Landlord and Tenant and Tenant assigns to Landlord its
interest in the balance of any award which may be made for the taking or
condemnation of the Premises or the Property, together with any and all rights
of Tenant arising in or to the same or any part thereof. Nothing contained
herein, however, shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in or require
Tenant to assign to Landlord any separate award made to Tenant for the taking of
Tenant's Personal Property, for the interruption of Tenant's business, or its
moving costs, or for the loss of its good will.
25. Assignment and Subletting.
-------------------------
A. Landlord's Consent. Tenant shall not enter into a Sublet without
------------------
Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Any attempted or purported Sublet without Landlord's prior written
consent shall be void and confer no rights upon any third person and, at
Landlord's election, shall terminate this Lease. Each Subtenant shall agree in
writing, for the benefit of Landlord, to assume, to be bound by, and to perform
the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease to be performed by Tenant.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Tenant shall not be released from
liability for the performance of each term, condition and covenant of this Lease
by reason of Landlord's consent to a Sublet unless Landlord specifically grants
such release in writing.
B. Tenant's Notice. If Tenant desires at any time to Sublet the
---------------
entire Premises, Tenant shall first notify Landlord in writing of its desire to
do so. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's notice,
Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease , In such event, Landlord and Tenant
shall negotiate in good faith the effective date of such termination and Tenant
shall be released of all further liability under this Lease (except to the
extent any provision of this Lease expressly survives termination).
C. Information to be Furnished. If Landlord elects not to terminate
---------------------------
this Lease, then Tenant shall submit in writing to Landlord: (i) the name of the
proposed Subtenant;
24
<PAGE>
(ii) the nature of the proposed Subtenant's business to be carried on in the
Premises; (iii) the terms and provisions of the proposed Sublet and a copy of
the proposed Sublet form containing a description of the subject premises; and
(iv) such financial information, including financial statements, as Landlord may
reasonably request concerning the proposed Subtenant.
D. Landlord's Alternatives. At any time within ten (10) days after
-----------------------
Landlord's receipt of the information specified in paragraph 25.C., Landlord
may, by written notice to Tenant, elect: (i) to consent to the Sublet by Tenant;
or (ii) to refuse its consent to the Sublet If Landlord consents to the Sublet,
Tenant may thereafter enter into a valid Sublet of the Premises or portion
thereof, upon the terms and conditions and with the proposed Subtenant set forth
in the information furnished by Tenant to Landlord, subject, however, at
Landlord's election, to the condition that fifty percent (50%) of any excess of
the Subrent over the Rent required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease less
reasonable attorneys' fees, leasing commissions, tenant improvements and other
reasonable subletting costs paid by Tenant on the Sublet, shall be paid to
Landlord.
E. Exempt Sublets. Notwithstanding the above, Landlord's prior
--------------
written consent shall not be required for an assignment of this Lease to a
subsidiary, affiliate or parent corporation of Tenant; a corporation into which
Tenant merges or consolidates; or a purchaser of all or substantially all of the
assets of Tenant provided that: (i) Tenant gives Landlord prior written notice
of the name of any such assignee, (ii) the assignee assumes, in writing, for the
benefit of Landlord all of Tenant's obligations under the Lease, and (iii) in
the case of an assignment to a purchaser of Tenant's assets, as of the date of
the transfer, the transferee has a tangible net worth (exclusive of good will)
greater than or equal to ten (10) times the annual net Monthly Rent then payable
under the Lease.
F. Proration. If a portion of the Premises is Sublet, the pro rata
---------
share of the Rent attributable to such partial area of the Premises shall be
determined by Landlord by dividing the Rent payable by Tenant hereunder by the
total square footage of the Premises and multiplying the resulting quotient (the
per square foot rent) by the number of square feet of the Premises which are
Sublet.
26. Default.
-------
A. Tenant's Default. A default under this Lease by Tenant shall exist
----------------
if any of the following occurs:
(i) If Tenant fails to pay Rent or any other sum required to be
paid hereunder within ten (10) days after the date such Rent or other sum is
due; or
(ii) If Tenant fails to perform any term, covenant or condition
of this Lease except those requiring the payment of money, and Tenant fails to
cure such breach within thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord
where such breach could reasonably be cured within such 30-day period; provided,
however, that where such failure could not reasonably be cured within the 30-day
period, that Tenant shall not be in default if it commences such performance
within the 30-day period and diligently thereafter prosecutes the same to
completion; or
25
<PAGE>
(iii) If Tenant assigns its assets for the benefit of its
creditors; or
(iv) If the sequestration or attachment of or execution on any
material part of Tenant's Personal Property essential to the conduct of Tenant's
business occurs, and Tenant fails to obtain a return or release of such Personal
Property within thirty (30) days thereafter, or prior to sale pursuant to such
sequestration, attachment or levy, whichever is earlier, or
(v) If Tenant abandons the Premises; or
(vi) If a court makes or enters any decree or order other than
under the bankruptcy laws of the United States adjudging Tenant to be insolvent;
or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization of Tenant; or
directing the winding up or liquidation of Tenant and such decree or order shall
have continued for a period of sixty (60) days.
B. Remedies. Upon a default, Landlord shall have the following
--------
remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or
otherwise provided in this Lease, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively or
in the alternative:
(i) Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and effect,
and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as long as Landlord does
not terminate this Lease, and Landlord shall have the right to collect Rent when
due.
(ii) Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the
Premises at any time by giving written notice to that effect, and relet the
Premises or any part thereof. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for
all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises or any part thereof,
including, without limitation, broker's commissions, expenses of cleaning and
redecorating the Premises required by the reletting and like costs. Reletting
may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this Lease. No
act by Landlord other than giving written notice of termination to Tenant shall
terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises or the
appointment of a receiver on Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's
interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right
to possession. On termination, Landlord has the right to remove all Tenant's
Personal Property and store name at Tenant's cost and to recover from Tenant as
damages:
(a) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent and
other sums due and payable which had been earned at the time of termination;
plus
(b) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which
the unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable, which would have been payable
after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss
that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(c) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which
the unpaid rent and other sums due and payable for the balance of the Term after
the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could
be reasonably avoided; plus
26
<PAGE>
(d) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for
all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's
obligations under this Lease, or which, in the ordinary course of things, would
be likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, any costs or
expenses incurred by Landlord: (i) in retaking possession of the Premises; (ii)
in maintaining, repairing, preserving, restoring, replacing, cleaning, altering
or rehabilitating the Premises or any portion thereof, including such acts for
reletting to a new tenant or tenants; (iii) for leasing commissions; or (iv) for
any other costs necessary or Appropriate to relet the Premises; plus
(e) At Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition
to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by the laws
of the State of California.
The "worth at the time of award", of the amounts referred to in
paragraphs 26.B.(ii)(a) and 26.B.(ii)(b) is computed by allowing interest at the
Interest Rate on the unpaid rent and other sums due and payable from the
termination date through the date of award. The "worth at the time of award" of
the amount referred to in paragraph 26.B.(ii)(c) is computed by discounting such
amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the
time of award plus one percent (l%). Tenant waives redemption or relief from
forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179, or
under any other present or future law, in the event Tenant is evicted or
Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any default of Tenant
hereunder.
(iii) Landlord may, with or without terminating this Lease, re-
enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such
property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the
cost of and for the account of Tenant. No reentry or taking possession of the
Premises by Landlord pursuant to this paragraph shall be construed as an
election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is
given to Tenant.
C. Landlord's Default. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default
------------------
in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by it hereunder
unless and until it has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30)
days after receipt of written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying the nature
of such default; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation
is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then
Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if it shall commence such
performance within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently prosecute the
same to completion.
27. Subordination.
-------------
If the holder or holders of any ground or underlying lease, mortgage
or deed of trust which affects the Premises ("Encumbrance") shall require that
this Lease be prior and superior to the lien of such Encumbrance, within fifteen
(15) days of written request of Landlord to Tenant, Tenant shall execute, have
acknowledged and deliver any and all documents or instruments, in the form
presented to Tenant, which Landlord or the holder of such Encumbrance deems

thereof, and within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's written request, Tenant
shall execute any commercially reasonable instruments, releases or other
documents required by Landlord or the holder of the Encumbrance to make this
Lease subordinate to any lien of the Encumbrance. If Tenant fails to do so, it
shall be deemed that this Lease is subordinated. Any instrument describing such
lease or mortgage or deed of trust to which this Lease may be subordinated shall
include, as a condition precedent to Tenant's obligation to execute same,
commercially reasonable nondisturbance provisions to the effect that,
notwithstanding such subordination, the holder of the Encumbrance agrees that so
long as Tenant faithfully discharges all obligations on its part to be kept and
performed under this Lease in accordance with its terms, its tenancy will not be
affected by any default under such lease or mortgage or deed of trust, and in
the event of termination of such lease or foreclosure or sale under power of
sale or deed in lieu of sale, or any transfer of Landlord's interest, all
rights, benefits, privileges and remedies of Tenant under this Lease shall
remain in effect.

Tenant hereby attorns and agrees to attorn to any entity purchasing or otherwise
acquiring the Premises at any sale or other proceeding or pursuant to the
exercise of any other rights, powers or remedies under such Encumbrance.

either by a lender making a loan to Landlord to be secured by deed of trust or
mortgage covering the Premises or a purchaser of the Premises from Landlord.

except as may be represented by Landlord, (b) that there are now no uncured
defaults in Landlord's performance and (c) that no Rent has been paid in
advance.

excluding any amount relating to the acquisition price paid by Landlord for the
Premises) plus any out-of-pocket costs paid by Landlord for the construction of
the Building (but only to the extent not already included in the loan). The
purchase price shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord in cash upon the close of
escrow. In addition to the purchase price, all costs incurred to create the
Premises as a separate legal parcel; prepare the reciprocal parking agreement;
construct Tenant's share of the parking spaces (approximately 210 spaces); and
to prepare any covenants, conditions and restrictions required to govern the
operation, use and maintenance of any other common areas to be utilized by
Landlord and Tenant, including without limitation, legal fees, engineering and

exercise of the option by Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall use good faith
efforts to execute a purchase agreement incorporating the foregoing terms and
conditions within sixty (60) days after the date of Tenant's notice of exercise.
Tenant shall have right to rescind its exercise of the option by giving Landlord
written notice within thirty (30) days after Landlord informs Tenant of the
construction loan balance and out-of-pocket costs described above. Close of
escrow under the purchase agreement shall occur within thirty (30) days after
the date the parcel map creating the Premises as a separate legal parcel is
recorded, but not later than nine (9) months from the date of Tenant's exercise
of the option, unless close of escrow is delayed due to force majeure, in which
event close of escrow shall occur as soon as reasonably possible. If, however,
Tenant fails to exercise the option to purchase the Premises within the sixty
(60) day exercise period, or Tenant timely rescinds its exercise, the option
shall expire, and this Lease and all rights and obligations of Landlord and
Tenant hereunder shall terminate; provided, however, that Tenant shall retain
any rights to claim damages to the extent that Landlord has breached its
obligations under this Lease.

EXHIBIT C -- PART 2
FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE (the "First Amendment") is made and entered
into as of this 10th day of September, 1998 by and between MARTIN/CAMPUS
ASSOCIATES NO. 6, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Landlord"), and AMPEX
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Tenant").
R E C I T A L S:
This First Amendment is entered into upon the basis of, and with reference
to the following facts, understandings and intentions of the parties:
A. Martin/Campus Associates, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
("Original Landlord"), and Tenant entered into that certain Lease dated January
19, 1996 which demised those certain premises to be situated in a building to be
constructed by Landlord, together with the exclusive right to use a certain
Outside Area (as defined in the Lease), located in the City of Redwood City,
California, as more particularly described in the Lease (the "Premises").
B Original Landlord assigned all of its right, title and interest as
landlord under the Lease to Landlord pursuant to that certain Assignment and
Assumption of Tenant Leases dated as of December 22, 1997 (the "Assignment of
Lease").
C. Landlord and Tenant desire to modify and amend the terms of the Lease
(i) to provide for the surrender of the exclusive use of that portion of the
Premises designated as the Outside Area, and (ii) in lieu thereof, to designate
common areas for which Tenant shall have the nonexclusive right to use and for
which Landlord shall assume maintenance obligations, and to require Tenant to
pay a proportionate share of the cost therefor, all as more fully set forth
herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, including the mutual
covenants contained in the Lease and in this First Amendment, Landlord and
Tenant hereby agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Except as expressly provided in this First Amendment to
-------------
the contrary, terms which are defined in the Lease shall have the same meaning
when used in thus First Amendment.
2. Premises. Paragraph 2 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety
--------
and the following paragraph is inserted in place thereof:
"Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from
Landlord that certain building to be constructed by Landlord,
consisting of approximately 59,760 square feet (the "Building") in the
City of Redwood City, County of San Mateo, State of California,
together with the exclusive use of the Outside Patio Area described in
Paragraph 3.H., as more particularly shown on EXHIBIT A (collectively,
---------
the "Premises"). The Premises also include the appurtenant right to
use in common with other
<PAGE>
tenants of the Property (as defined below) the Common Area (as defined
below) of the Property owned by Landlord."
3. Definitions. Paragraph 3 of the Lease is hereby amended (a) to delete
-----------
in its entirety paragraph 3.H (the definition of "Outside Area") and (b) to
insert the following new definitions:
"B, 1. Common Area. All areas and facilities within the Property
which are not within buildings wholly or partially leased to or
occupied by tenants or not otherwise appropriated to the exclusive
occupancy of tenants, including the Parking Area, the sidewalks,
pedestrian ways, driveways, signs (other than Tenant's signs), pools,
ponds, service delivery and loading facilities, common storage areas,
common utility facilities and all other areas on the Property
established by Landlord and/or its successors for non-exclusive use.
Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, elect in its sole
discretion to increase and/or decrease the Common Area from time to
time during the Term for any reason whatsoever (including without
limitation an election by Landlord and/or its successors in their sole
discretion to make changes to the buildings situated on the Property,
and/or to subdivide, sell, exchange, dispose of, transfer, or change
the configuration of all or any portion of the Common Area from time
to time), so long as Landlord does not (i) unreasonably interfere with
ingress to or egress from the Building; (ii) permanently reduce the
number of parking spaces available for Tenant's use below the minimum
requirements set forth in paragraph 38; (iii) move the Parking Area
materially farther from the Building; (iv) materially decrease the
visibility of Tenant's signage located on the Building or within the
Property as of the date of this First Amendment or future Tenant's
identification signage installed on the exterior of the Building in
accordance with paragraph 20 (provided that Landlord alternatively may
relocate Tenant's signage at Landlord's expense to a location mutually
acceptable to Landlord and Tenant as may be agreed by the parties
prior to such relocation); or (v) reconfigure the Common Area located
within those certain areas surrounding the Building as highlighted in
yellow on EXHIBIT A and designated as the "Protected Areas." No such
---------
subdivision, sale, exchange, disposition, transfer, or change to the
configuration of all or any portion of the Common Area shall cause the
Common Area to be increased or decreased unless and until Landlord has
given Tenant written notice of such increase or decrease. Landlord
shall have exclusive control of the Common Area and may at any time
close any part thereof for periods not to exceed thirty (30) days
(subject to delays due to causes beyond Landlord's control), exclude
and restrain anyone from any part thereof, except the bonafide
customers, employees and invitees of Tenant who use the Common Area in
accordance with the reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may
from time to time promulgate. In exercising any such rights, Landlord
shall not unreasonably disrupt Tenant's business.

that the cost of any such alterations, additions, improvements or
capital improvements, together with interest at the rate of ten
percent (10%) per annum, if applicable, the rate paid by Landlord on

and included in Common Area Maintenance Expenses for each year over
which such costs are amortized and that the annual amount of such
amortized costs passed through as an expense shall not exceed the cost
savings realized in such year); (x) all costs and expenses incurred in

ordinances, rules, regulations and orders enacted after the date
hereof, provided that the cost of any such alterations, additions,

and/or its successors in their sole discretion to make changes to the
buildings situated on the Property, and/or to subdivide, sell,

delays due to causes beyond Landlord's control), materially impair

buildings are added to or removed from the Property, or there is a
change in the total Rentable Area of those buildings located on the
Property owned by Landlord, or Landlord sells, exchanges, or otherwise
transfers any or all of the buildings located on the Property
(including without limitation the Building). The parties acknowledge
and agree that the total Rentable Area of all of the buildings located

5. Additional Rent. Paragraph 5.E of the Lease is hereby amended to add
---------------
in the second line thereof after the words "including, without limitation," the
words "Common Area Maintenance Expenses pursuant to paragraph 5.G.,".
6. Common Area Maintenance Expenses. The following paragraph is added as
--------------------------------
a new paragraph 5.G of the Lease:
"G. Common Area Maintenance Expenses.
--------------------------------
(1) Estimated Payments. Commencing as of the Effective Date and
------------------
continuing throughout the entire Term, Tenant shall pay Tenant's
Percentage Share of all Common Area Maintenance Expenses paid or
payable by Landlord in each year. On the Effective Date and during
December of each calendar year or as soon thereafter as practicable,
Landlord shall give Tenant notice of its estimate of amounts payable
under this paragraph 5.G.(1) for the ensuing calendar year. Such
notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis on which the estimate
was determined. On or before the first day of each month during the
ensuing calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth
(1/12th) of such estimated amounts, provided that if such notice is
not given in December, Tenant shall continue to pay on the basis of
the prior year's estimate until the month after such notice is given.
If at any time or times it appears to Landlord, in its reasonable
judgment, that the amounts payable under this paragraph 5.G.(I) for
the current calendar year will vary from its then-current estimate by
more than five percent (5%), Landlord may, by notice to Tenant,
showing in reasonable detail the basis for such variance, revise its
estimate for such year, in which case subsequent payments by Tenant
for such year shall be based upon such revised estimate. Landlord's
election not to give the notice described in the foregoing sentence
shall not affect Landlord's ability to charge Tenant for, nor Tenant's
liability to pay for, any shortfall in the estimated payments for such
calendar year previously made by Tenant, as set forth in paragraph
5.G.(2).
8
<PAGE>
"(2) Adjustment. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the
----------
close of each calendar year or as soon after such 120-day period as
reasonably practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a reasonably
detailed statement of Common Area Maintenance Expenses for such
calendar year, certified by Landlord or its property manager, subject
to Tenant's right to audit as hereinafter provided. At that time,
Landlord shall also deliver to Tenant a statement, certified as
correct by Landlord, of the adjustments to be made pursuant to
paragraph 5.G.(1) above. If Landlord's statement shows that Tenant
owes an amount that is less than the estimated payments for such
calendar year previously made by Tenant, Landlord may elect, in its
sole discretion, to either refund such excess to Tenant within thirty
(30) days after delivery of the statement, or offset such overpayment
against Monthly Rent due or remaining due under this Lease; provided
that if no Monthly Rent remains due, Landlord shall refund such excess
to Tenant within thirty (30) days after delivery of the statement. If
such statement shows that Tenant owes an amount that is more than the
estimated payments for such calendar year previously made by Tenant,
Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days
after delivery of the statement.
"(3) Last Lease Year. If this Lease shall terminate on a day
---------------
other than the last day of a calendar year, the adjustment in Minimum
Rent applicable to the calendar year in which such termination shall
occur shall be prorated on the basis which the number of days from the
commencement of such calendar year to and including such termination
date bears to three hundred sixty (360). The termination of this
Lease shall not affect the obligations of Landlord and Tenant pursuant
to paragraph 5.G.(2) to be performed after such termination,"
7. Repairs and Maintenance. Paragraph 17.A of the Lease is hereby amended
-----------------------
by adding the words "Landlord shall repair, maintain and operate the Common Area
and" to the beginning thereof. Paragraph 17.B. is hereby amended by deleting
therefrom the third, fourth, fifth and sixth sentences regarding Tenant's
obligation to maintain the Outside Area. In lieu thereof the following sentences
shall be inserted providing for Tenant's obligation to maintain and repair the
Outside Patio Area:
"Tenant shall also maintain the Outside Patio Area in good order, condition
and repair, consistent with the reasonable maintenance standards established by
Landlord for the balance of the Common Area. If at any time Landlord determines
that Tenant's repair and maintenance of the Outside Patio Area is not consistent
with the reasonable maintenance standards established by Landlord for the
balance of the Common Area, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of any such
deficiencies. If Tenant fails to cure such deficiencies within thirty (30) days
after receipt of Landlord's notice, Landlord shall have the right, on thirty
(30) days' written notice to Tenant, to assume responsibility for maintenance
and repair of the Outside Patio Area. In such event, Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord monthly, as Additional Rent, for the costs incurred by Landlord to
maintain and repair the Outside Patio Area."

<PAGE>
8. Parking Areas. Paragraph 38 is hereby deleted and the following is
-------------
inserted in place thereof:
"Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right, in common with any other
tenants or occupants of the Property, to use up to 199 unassigned
parking spaces, upon terms and conditions, as may from time to time be
reasonably established by Landlord (provided that such terms and
conditions shall not include an imposition by Landlord of a charge for
such parking). Ten (10) of such 199 unassigned spaces (as identified
on EXHIBIT A) shall be designated as visitor parking spaces for use by
---------
Tenant's visitors. Landlord shall install signage, at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, designating such spaces for that purpose. Landlord
shall not change the designation of such visitor parking spaces
without obtaining Tenant's prior written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Landlord shall have no obligation to monitor
or enforce the use of the parking spaces designated for Tenant's
visitors for such purpose.
"Should parking charges or surcharges of any kind be imposed on the
parking facilities by a governmental agency, Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for such charges and/or surcharges or, if possible, shall pay
such charges and/or surcharges directly to the governmental agency
and, in such event, Tenant shall provide Landlord with proof that such
charges and/or surcharges have been paid by Tenant."
9. Security. The following paragraph is hereby added to the Lease as

Suite 280
Cardiff by the Sea, CA 92007
Dear Pat.
We are pleased to offer you employment with Fogdog, Inc. (hereinafter "Fogdog")
as General Counsel, with a start date of March 30th, 1999 and reporting to the
company CFO.
The terms and commitments of your employment with Fogdog are as follows:
1. You will be employed to work full time and exclusively for the
Company. This will be staged such that you will spend 20% of time during first
two (2) weeks, 40% next two (2) weeks, 60% during the following four (4) weeks
and 100% thereafter .
2. Salary. Base salary of $10,000 per month, which is equal to $120,000
------
per year.
3. Bonus. You will have the opportunity to earn a bonus in addition to
-----
your base salary. Performance targets to earn the bonus are to be determined,
and shall be attached to this agreement as an addendum. The target for the bonus
is 20% of your salary with the opportunity to earn more through performance
accelerators (as attached). You must be employed by Fogdog at the time the bonus
is payable to be eligible to receive the bonus.
4. Stock Options. Subject to approval by the Board of Directors of Fogdog
-------------
at the next scheduled meeting on March 31, 1999, we are pleased to offer you
participation within Fogdog's stock option plan at a level of 135,000 common ISO
shares. Options are vested over four years, with 33,750 options vesting at the
end of the first 12 months and monthly vesting in equal increments thereafter.
The exercise price per share will be the fair market value (current value is
$.22 per share) of the options as determined by the Board of Directors after
your start date.
In the event of an acquisition (Corporate Transaction) of the company during the
1st six months of employment, six months of the first year's options, to the
extent outstanding at that time but not otherwise fully exercisable, shall
automatically accelerate prior to the Corporate Transaction closing. If the
event takes place during the second six months of the 1st year, the remainder of
the 1st year's option shall accelerate (up to a max of 6 months) thus yielding
12 months of vesting in total. No such acceleration shall occur if (i) the
options are assumed by any successor corporation, or (ii) such acceleration
would impact any pooling of interest. In event (ii), the accelerated option
would be replaced with a cash incentive which preserves the spread existing on
the unvested option at the time of the Corporate Transaction (excess of fair
market value of such option over the aggregate exercise price payable).
5. Relocation Package. You are eligible for reimbursement of allowable
------------------
relocation expenses and other benefits, as described in the attached Relocation
Policy. Additionally, we will offer you an additional relocation reimbursement
of $10,000, to be used as you see fit for your moving and living expenses.

insurance plans to the extent permitted by law, that may from time to time be
adopted by the Board. The Company reserves the right to amend, modify or
terminate any employee benefits at any time for any reason. Your portion of the
cost will be determined at enrollment based on plan selected.
7. 401(k). For the duration of employment, you are eligible to
------
participate in Fogdog's 401(k) Savings Plan. The Company reserves the right to
amend, modify or terminate this benefit at any time for any reason.
8. Vacation. You will accrue paid vacation days at a rate of one (1) day
--------
per month of employment.
9. Family & Sick Leave. You will accrue paid family and sick leave at a
-------------------
rate of one-half day (1/2) per month of employment.

terminated or modified at any time, with or without cause, at the option of
either you or Fogdog. Fogdog's right to terminate your employment includes the
right to reduce the scope of your duties and responsibilities and the amount of
your compensation. This provision may be modified only in writing, signed by an
officer of the company. Except as otherwise provided herein, upon the
termination of your employment with Fogdog, you shall immediately cease to
accrue salary, vacation, benefits, vesting of stock options and all other
compensation. If employment is terminated for reasons other than cause,
employee will be entitled to a 3 month severance package (salary and benefits
only). For purposes of this offer letter "cause" is defined as Gross Negligence
or a Felony Conviction.
11. Expense Reimbursement. Corporate travel and other company-related
---------------------
expenses incurred by you on your personal accounts shall be reimbursed. Those
expenses plus any travel and company-related expenses incurred on any Fogdog
company account are to be approved by your direct supervisor prior to event.

as an addendum. You must be employed by Cedro at the time the bonus is payable

measured may vary depending on when a Venture Funding occurs.

accelerate to be fully vested upon completion of an initial public offering
(IPO). These options would also accelerate to be fully vested upon completion of
an acquisition or merger of Cedro by or with another company where Cedro is not
the surviving entity ("Acquisition"), unless such acceleration would make the
Acquisition ineligible for the selected accounting treatment if such treatment
is material to the transaction. If any such options do not accelerate in
accordance with the foregoing, and you do not receive and accept fully vested
replacements therefor, then Cedro will use reasonable good faith efforts to
provide you shortly after the close with compensation comparable to any
reduction in the total profit you would otherwise have earned on such unvested

<PAGE>
market value of the options as determined by the Board of Directors. Upon
completion of a Venture Funding, any unvested options that would otherwise
vest during the first two years of the four year vesting schedule shall
accelerate to be fully vested and the balance of the options shall vest in
accordance with the original schedule during the last two years of the four year
vesting schedule.
5. The "Term" of the agreement will begin on October 1, 1997.
6. Health insurance shall be provided for you and/or your family by Cedro for
the duration of your employment with Cedro should you desire it. Medical,

5.3 At all times, both during the term of this Employment Agreement
and after its termination, Executive will keep in confidence and trust, and will
not use or disclose, any Proprietary Information without the prior written
consent of the Board.
5.4 Executive understands that the Company and its affiliates
possess or will possess "Company Documents" which are important to its business.
For purposes of this Employment Agreement, "Company Documents" are documents or
other media that contain or embody Proprietary Information or any other
information concerning the business, operations or plans of the Company and its
affiliates, whether such documents have been prepared by Executive or by others.
"Company Documents" include, but are not limited to, blueprints, drawings,
photographs, charts, graphs, notebooks, customer lists, computer disks,
personnel files, tapes or printouts and other printed, typewritten or
handwritten documents. All Company Documents are and shall remain the sole
property of the Company. Executive agrees not to

<PAGE>
remove any Company Documents from the business premises of the Company or
deliver any Company Documents to any person or entity outside the Company,
except as required to do in connection with performance of the services under
this Employment Agreement. Executive further agrees that, immediately upon the
Company's request and in any event upon completion of Executive's services,
Executive shall deliver to the Company all Company Documents, apparatus,
equipment and other physical property or any reproduction of such property.
5.5 During the term of this Employment Agreement and for one year
thereafter, Executive will not encourage or solicit any employee of the Company

thereafter, Executive shall not directly or indirectly:
(i) own, manage, operate, join, control or participate in the
ownership, management, operation or control of, or be employed by or connected
in any manner with, any enterprise which is engaged in any business competitive
with that which the Company is at the time conducting or proposing to conduct;
provided, however, that such restriction shall not apply to any passive
investment representing an interest of less than two percent (2%) of an
outstanding class of publicly traded securities of any corporation or other
enterprise which is not, at the time of such investment, engaged in a business
geographically competitive with the Company's business; or
(ii) encourage or solicit any Company employee to leave the
Company's employ for any reason or interfere in any material manner with
employment relationships at the time existing between the Company and its
current employees, except as may be required in any bona fide termination
decision regarding any Company employee.
5.7 Executive acknowledges that the specialized nature of his
knowledge of the Company's Proprietary Information, trade secrets and other
intellectual property are such that a breach of his covenant not to compete or
confidentiality obligations contained in this Section 5 of this Employment
Agreement would necessarily and inevitably result in a disclosure,
misappropriation and misuse of such Proprietary Information, trade secrets and
other intellectual property. Accordingly, Executive acknowledges and agrees that
such a breach would inflict unique and irreparable harm upon the Company and
that the Company shall be entitled, in addition to its other rights and
available remedies, to enforce, by injunction or decree of specific performance,
Executive's obligations set forth herein.

7.10 Arbitration. The Executive understands and agrees that, as a
----------
condition of his employment with the Company, any and all disputes that the
Executive may have with the Company, or any of its employees, officers,
directors, agents or assigns, which arise out of the Executive's employment or
investment or compensation shall be resolved through final and binding
arbitration, as specified in this Employment Agreement. This shall include,
without limitation, any controversy, claim or dispute of any kind, including
disputes relating to any employment by the Company or the termination thereof,
claims for breach of contract or breach of the covenant of good faith and fair
dealing, infliction of emotional distress, defamation and any claims of
discrimination, harassment or other claims under Title VII of the
8
<PAGE>
Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the
Americans With Disabilities Act, the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act,
or any other federal, state or local law or regulation now in existence or
hereinafter enacted and as amended from time to time concerning in any way the
subject of the Executive's employment with the Company or its termination. The
only claims not covered by this Employment Agreement are claims for benefits
under the unemployment insurance or workers' compensation laws, and any claims
pursuant to paragraph 5 of this Employment Agreement which will be resolved
pursuant to those laws. Any disputes and/or claims covered by this Employment
Agreement shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration to be conducted in
Santa Clara County, California, in accordance with the rules and regulations of
the American Arbitration Association. The Executive and the Company will split
the cost of the arbitration filing and hearing fees and the cost of the
arbitrator, provided that the arbitrator will have authority to award these fees
to the prevailing party. Each side will bear its own attorneys' fees, provided
that the arbitrator will have authority to award attorneys' fees to the
prevailing party unless a statutory section at issue in the dispute authorizes
the award of attorneys' fees, in which case the arbitrator has authority to make
such award as permitted by the statute in question. The arbitration shall be
instead of any civil litigation; this means that the Executive is waiving any
right to a jury trial, and that the arbitrator's decision shall be final and
binding to the fullest extent permitted by law and enforceable by any court
having jurisdiction thereof.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Employment
Agreement as of the date first above written.

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Employment
Agreement"), dated as of this 5th day of April, 1999 is entered into by and
between Fogdog, Inc. (formerly known as Cedro Group, Inc.) (the "Company"), and
Brett Allsop ("Executive"). This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement
amends and restates the Employment Agreement between the Company and Executive
dated as of June 12, 1998 and is effective as of October 24, 1998 (the
"Effective Date"). In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:
1. EMPLOYMENT.
----------
1.1 Position. During the Employment Term (as hereinafter
--------
defined) and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company
agrees to employ Executive as the president of its international division and
remain as Chairman of the Board (A Company Officer), reporting directly to the
Company's Chief Executive Officer.
1.2 Duties. Executive shall diligently, and to the best of his
------
ability, perform all such duties incident to his position and use his best
efforts to promote the interests of the Company.
1.3 Time to be Devoted to Employment. During the Employment
--------------------------------
Term, Executive shall devote his full time and energy to the business of the
Company. Executive hereby represents that he is not a party to any agreement
which would be an impediment to entering into this Employment Agreement and that
he is permitted to enter into this Employment Agreement and perform the
obligations hereunder.
2. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.
-------------------------
2.1 Annual Salary. In consideration of and as compensation for
-------------
the services agreed to be performed by Executive hereunder, the Company agrees
to pay Executive a starting annual base salary of $105,000, payable in
accordance with the Company's regular payroll schedule ("Base Salary"), less
applicable withholdings and deductions. The Base Salary shall be increased to
$120,000, less applicable withholdings and deductions, effective upon
Executive's relocation to the international office. The Base Salary will be
subject to change at the sole discretion of the Company's Board of Directors
(the "Board"). Executive will receive a supplement to Base Salary to be
determined by the Board upon relocation of Executive to the international office
to compensate Executive for the higher cost of living abroad. Such supplement
shall be effective upon relocation of Executive to the international office.
This supplement will be based upon the ORC Survey data annually provided by
Price WaterhouseCoopers.
The Company will also pay for tax and payroll (hypo) submissions.
Employee will continue to pay Hypothetical tax rates (including CA State Income
Tax) to the benefit of the company. The company will account and pay for all US
and UK filings and the actual taxes paid
<PAGE>
in those countries. The purpose is to maintain an equitable standard of living
within the US and it is understood that the company may benefit from these
arrangements.
2.2 Bonus Plan. Executive will be eligible to receive an annual
----------
bonus of up to 25% of his base salary in 1998. Effective in 1999, Executive will
be eligible to receive an annual bonus of up to 20% of base salary, upon
achievement of objectives mutually determined by Executive and the Company's
Chief Executive Officer.
2.3 [RESERVED] N/A
2.4 Repurchase Right. Executive and the Company agree that the
----------------
Company shall be permitted to purchase from Executive up to 173,333 shares
(subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends, recapitalizations and the
like) of the Company's Common Stock owned by Executive on the date hereof (the
"Shares") at the Fair Market Value thereof if at any time during the Employment
Term Executive terminates this Employment Agreement pursuant to Section 4.1(iv)
hereof (voluntary departure without Good Reason) (the "Repurchase Right"). The
Repurchase Right shall lapse with respect to 1/26th of the Shares at the end of
each month of the Employment Term; provided, however, that the Repurchase Right
shall lapse with respect to all of the Shares (a) immediately prior to an
initial public offering of the Company or the acquisition of the Company in a
Corporate Transaction (as defined in Section 11.3.1 of the Plan), or (b) upon
termination of this Employment Agreement pursuant to Sections 4.1(i) (death) or
4.1(ii) (disability) or 4.1(v) (by Executive for Good Reason). The Repurchase
Right shall be exercisable by written notice delivered by the Company within
thirty (30) days after Executive's termination of employment pursuant to Section
4.1(iv). The notice shall indicate the date set for the closing of the
repurchase, which shall not be more than ten (10) business days after the end of
the thirty (30)-day exercise period, and at the closing the Company shall pay
the purchase price of the repurchased shares in cash, and the Executive shall
concurrently deliver the stock certificates for the repurchased shares, each
duly-endorsed by him for transfer. If the Repurchase Right is not exercised
during such thirty (30)-day exercise period, the Repurchase Right shall lapse in
its entirety. The Repurchase Right shall be assignable by the Company.
For purposes of this Employment Agreement, "Fair Market Value" shall
mean the value of the Shares being repurchased hereunder based upon the exercise
price which the Board would then assign to incentive stock options granted under
the Plan.
2.5 Participation in Benefit Plans. During the Employment Term,
------------------------------
Executive shall be entitled to participate in health, life and disability
insurance commensurate with all such benefit plans then offered to United States
employees, as determined by, and from time to time adopted by the Board. The
Company reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate any employee benefits
at any time for any reason. Your portion of the cost will be determined at
enrollment. Coverage for your spouse and/or any dependents is available at
additional cost.
2.6 Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company shall reimburse
-------------------------
Executive for all reasonable management approved expenses including, a)
professional and language development expenses such as classes and seminars, b)
business development expenses, such as travel and entertainment and cellular
telephone, and c) expenses incurred in

setting up office operations, such as rent for office space, telephone lines,
office supplies and equipment, printing, furniture, taxes, documentation,
insurance and fees.

--------
entitled to 19 days of paid vacation per annum, which may be carried over and
used in any year during the Employment Term (plus four days for overseas time).
2.8 Relocation Expenses. Each year, Executive shall be
-------------------
reimbursed for the cost of two (2) round trip airline tickets, coach or
comparable class, for his immediate family for trips to the United States. The
Executive shall remain in the international office for the remainder of the
Employment Term. Company shall pay for all reasonable expenses for moving goods
overseas comparable with moving expenses of employees posted overseas including
shipping, package, storage, consulting, and insurance. Upon the expiration of
the Employment Term, the Company shall pay all relocation expenses and
transportation fees back to the United States should Executive so desire. The
Company shall pay all housing expenses for up to two (2) months upon arrival at
the international location in an executive apartment or hotel determined by the
Company. The Company shall pay for the cost of storage of Executive's
furnishings in the United States for the duration of the Employment Term. If he
decides to move back before the end of his term, he pays for the relocation.
Additionally, the Company will pay basic housing costs for Executive
while overseas. The housing that is chosen must be comparable (within reason)
to current U.S. standards. Executive agrees to pay the company $2300 per month,
in semi-monthly deductions from payroll after the 2 month temporary housing
allowance is over OR if permanent housing is found sooner. Housing costs may
include local taxes assessed (if any), but not utilities and insurance.
2.9 Automobile. If reasonably required for professional use,
----------
the Company shall reimburse Executive for reasonable expenses of leasing and
insuring an automobile for Executive's use during the Employment Term.
3. EMPLOYMENT TERM.

3.1 Employment Term. The "Employment Term" means the period
---------------
commencing on the Effective Date and terminating on the earlier of two years and
two months from the Effective Date or as set forth in Section 4.1.

Employment Agreement (other than Section 2.4) shall be automatically renewed for

4. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.
-------------------------
4.1 Method of Termination. Executive's employment pursuant to
---------------------
this Employment Agreement and the Employment Term provided for herein shall
terminate upon the first of the following to occur:
(i) Executive's death;
(ii) Date that written notice is deemed given or made by
the Company to Executive that as a result of any physical or mental injury or
disability, he is unable to perform the essential functions of his job, with or
without reasonable accommodation. Such notice may be issued when the Board has
reasonably determined that Executive has become unable to perform substantially
his services and duties hereunder with or without reasonable accommodation
because of any physical or mental injury or disability, and that it is
reasonably likely that he will not be able to resume substantially performing
his services and duties on substantially the terms and conditions as set forth
in this Employment Agreement;
(iii) Date that written notice is deemed given or made by
the Company to Executive of termination for "cause." For purposes of this
Employment Agreement, "cause" shall mean any one of the following:
(A) Gross negligence or the repeated failure of
Executive, following the receipt of written notice from the Board of its
dissatisfaction with Executive's performance, to perform his duties and
responsibilities to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board, or any breach by
Executive of his fiduciary duties to the Company or any material term of this
Employment Agreement. For purposes of this Employment Agreement, any act or acts
or omission or omissions by Executive that have a material adverse effect on the
Company's operations, prospects, reputation or business shall be deemed to be a
breach of his duties and responsibilities to the Company; or
(B) The conviction of Executive for a felony.
(iv) Date that written notice is deemed given or made by
Executive of his resignation or voluntary departure from the Company without
Good Reason (as hereinafter defined); or
(v) Date that written notice is deemed given or made by
Executive of his resignation or voluntary departure from the Company for Good
Reason. For purposes of this Employment Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean
Executive's resignation or departure by reason of:
(A) a change in executive's position with the
Company which materially reduces Executive's level of
responsibilities or title; or
(B) a material reduction in executive's level of
compensation (including base salary, fringe benefits and any
bonus award (unrelated to any executive officer-wide reduction to
save expenses)).
4
<PAGE>
(vi) Date that written notice is deemed given or made by
the Company to executive of Executive's termination without "cause."
Nothing herein alters Executive and the Company's separate right to
terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason, with or
without cause.
4.2 Effect of Termination for Cause, Executive's Resignation or
-----------------------------------------------------------
Voluntary Departure. Upon (i) the termination of Executive for cause; Executive
- -------------------
will not be entitled to any additional compensation or other rights or benefits
from the Company; and, as a result, the Company shall be obligated to pay
Executive only that portion of his Base Salary that Executive has earned prior
to the effective date of the termination of Executive's employment with the
Company. If executive resigns for any reason (ii), Executive will be entitled to
his then existing Base Salary for a period of thirteen (13) weeks from the date
of termination, payable in accordance with the Company's regular payroll
schedule. If it is deemed employee resigns for "Good Reason" (as defined above),
employee is entitled to twenty six (26) weeks from date of termination.
4.3 Effect of Executive's Death or Disability. Other than as
-----------------------------------------
set forth in Section 2.4, upon Executive's departure pursuant to Section 4.1(i)
(death) or 4.1(ii) (disability) of this Employment Agreement, Executive will not
be entitled to any additional compensation or other rights or benefits from the
Company; and, as a result, the Company shall be obligated to pay Executive only
that portion of his Base Salary that Executive has earned prior to the effective
date of the termination of Executive's employment with the Company.
4.4 Effect of Termination Without Cause. In the event the
-----------------------------------
Company terminates Executive's employment with the Company without cause or the
Company's Repurchase Right shall lapse as set forth in Section 2.4, and
Executive will be entitled to his then existing Base Salary for a period of
twenty-six (26) weeks from the date of termination payable in accordance with
the Company's regular payroll schedule and the Company will also reimburse
Executive for his COBRA premiums to continue his medical insurance coverage
pursuant to COBRA for the period of twenty-six (26) weeks from the date of

reasonable relocation expenses for return of Executive and his family to the
United States

knowledge of the Company's Proprietary Information, trade secrets and other
intellectual property are such that a breach of his covenant not to compete or
confidentiality obligations contained in this Section 5 of this Employment
Agreement would necessarily and inevitably result in a disclosure,
misappropriation and misuse of such Proprietary Information, trade secrets and
other intellectual property. Accordingly, Executive acknowledges and agrees that
such a breach would inflict unique and irreparable harm upon the Company and
that the Company shall be entitled, in addition to its other rights and
available remedies, to enforce, by injunction or decree of specific performance,
Executive's obligations set forth herein.

and binding. If any provision of the Employment Agreement is held illegal, void
or invalid in its entirety, the remaining provisions of this Employment
Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired but shall remain binding
in accordance with their terms.
7.9 Governing Law. THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND
-------------
OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY AND EXECUTIVE HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER,
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
AS APPLIED TO AGREEMENTS AMONG CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ENTERED INTO AND TO BE
PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN CALIFORNIA.
7.10 Arbitration. The Executive understands and agrees that, as
-----------
a condition of his employment with the Company, any and all disputes that the
Executive may have with the Company, or any of its employees, officers,
directors, agents or assigns, which arise out of the Executive's employment or
investment or compensation shall be resolved through final and binding
arbitration, as specified in this Employment Agreement. This shall include,
without limitation, any controversy, claim or dispute of any kind, including
disputes relating to any employment by the Company or the termination thereof,
claims for breach of contract or breach of the covenant of good faith and fair
dealing, infliction of emotional distress, defamation and any claims of
discrimination, harassment or other claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans With
Disabilities Act, the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act, or any other
federal, state or local law or regulation now in existence or hereinafter
enacted and as amended from time to time concerning in any way the subject of
the Executive's employment with the Company or its termination. The only claims
not covered by this Employment Agreement are claims for benefits under the
unemployment insurance or workers' compensation laws, and any claims pursuant to
paragraph 5 of this Employment Agreement which will be resolved pursuant to
those laws. Any disputes and/or claims covered by this Employment Agreement
shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration to be conducted in Santa
Clara County, California, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
American Arbitration Association. The Executive and the Company will split the
cost of the arbitration filing and hearing fees and the cost of the arbitrator,
provided that the arbitrator will have authority to award these fees to the
prevailing party. Each side will bear its own attorneys' fees, provided that the
arbitrator will have authority to award attorneys' fees to the prevailing party
unless a statutory section at issue in the dispute authorizes the award of
attorneys' fees, in which case the arbitrator has authority to make such award
as permitted by the statute in question. The arbitration shall be instead of any
civil litigation; this means that the Executive is waiving any right to a jury
trial, and that the arbitrator's decision shall be final and
9

binding to the fullest extent permitted by law and enforceable by any court
having jurisdiction thereof.

Exhibit B
Standard Vendor Compliance Procedures
Packaging
Vendors are expected to deliver merchandise in prepackaged units exactly as they
are to be sold to the customer. All items require packaging that will protect
them during distribution, storage, handling and shipping. There are four
package formats that are acceptable to Keystone:
Polybags
--------
Non-fragile items can be packaged in individual, fully vented polybags
labeled with the Fogdog item number. Multiple items of the same item
number may be packed into a master carton. Polybags are appropriate for
small items which will not easily break during handling and for textile
items.
Boxes
-----
Items may be packaged in a retail box made from kraft board or corrugated
boxes. This may be appropriate for non-fragile items or where there is
sufficient inner protection to prevent damage from shock or vibration. If
the product is exposed, or the item may fall out of the package during
conveyance, a polybag, shrink film or over-box must be used. These items
must be delivered in a master carton.
Protective Packaging
--------------------
Items which can easily break must have protection sufficient to withstand
the normal distribution handling and shipping environment.
Ship-Alone Packaging
---------------------
Items that are greater than 23 inches in length or weigh more than 30

Exhibit C
Keystone Services, Performance Standards, and Statement of Work
OVERALL SCOPE
Fogdog will receive orders via the Internet. Fogdog will authorize credit
cards and transmit orders to Keystone Fulfillment, Inc. (KFI). KFI will
pick, pack and ship the orders. KFI will prepare and send to Fogdog a file
for shipped orders, including delivery-tracking information. Fogdog will
bill the credit cards and resolve declines and charge backs from the bank.
KFI will transmit the inventory snapshot and inventory transaction files to
Fogdog at least once per day.
Fogdog will transmit to KFI item numbers, purchase orders and vendor
information. KFI will update Fogdog with an order status file at least
twice per work day (actual frequency to be agreed upon by KFI and Fogdog).
Interfaces and System Setup
Work will begin on September 15, 1999 to develop system interfaces and
setup an account on the KFI system. Programming will be performed by
Fogdog so files sent to KFI comply with the formats contained in Exhibit G
of this agreement for purchase order, item, vendor and order files. KFI
will perform programming so files sent to Fogdog meet the formats contained
in Exhibit G of this agreement for order status and inventory status.
Shipment of products to Fogdog customers will begin no later than October
11, 1999.
Information Set Up
Fogdog will transfer to KFI item, purchase order, and vendor files.
Forecasting
Fogdog will make every attempt to provide a daily forecast for receipts,
shipments, gift box units and gift wrapping units, within [*] of actual
numbers in order for KFI to meet standards. Fogdog will have this forecast
to KFI by 5 PM Eastern Standard Time on each Monday for the week beginning
three weeks later. If actuals fall outside of the [*] KFI will not be
bound to the performance standards contained in this agreement but will do
everything within reason to meet these standards.
If actuals are over [*] of the forecast, the account executive will call
for an operational overview with both KFI and Fogdog representatives. The
purpose of this overview will be to determine the best short-term
operational plan to work out of the backlog situation.
[*] = CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO
THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
20
<PAGE>
If actuals fall below [*] of the forecast, Fogdog will pay KFI the
equivalent of the charge for receiving, shipping, gift boxing, and gift
wrapping, [*] of the forecasted orders or units respectively.
Merchandise Receipt
Fogdog's vendors will follow vendor compliance guidelines contained in this
Agreement, including providing KFI with advance shipping notification. KFI
will receive and enter into inventory all items meeting purchase order
requirements and not requiring prep within one business day. KFI will
provide a 10% basic inspection at the piece level for product
identification and count verification.
Receipts requiring sortation into one sku per carton, will be available for
sale 2 business days after arrival at KFI's facility. Multi-sku receipts
with inner packs that will withstand the rigors of material handling within
the warehouse will be available for sale one business day after arrival at
KFI's facility.
For item(s) not meeting purchase order requirements, a problem order manual
log will be generated and contact made to Fogdog to resolve incoming
problems within one business day.
At Fogdog's request, KFI will provide kitting services.
Quality Inspection
Any merchandise requiring additional quality control and/or prep work must
be approved by Fogdog in advance of work performed.
Merchandise Storage
Fogdog's inventory will be stored solely in KFI's Kindig Lane facility,
unless Fogdog authorizes Keystone in writing to store Fogdog's inventory
off-site, and will be segregated from other active and reserve Keystone
inventory.
Merchandise will be stored in a clean, climate controlled space that offers
reasonable protection from temperature and water damage and includes
functioning sprinklers. In addition, for items identified by Fogdog as
"high value", a secure storage area with limited access will be used.
Order Origination
Customers will place orders through the Internet. The inventory snapshot
and transaction files will be transmitted once per day by KFI to Fogdog and
will be used to calculate availability at the time of order. Fogdog will
authorize the order, check for frauds, and create a file with the
customer's name, address, product number, and quantity. KFI will initiate
a file transfer to its system at least twice per work day (actual frequency
to be agreed upon by KFI and Fogdog)
[*] = CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO
THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
21
<PAGE>
KFI will, at a frequency to be agreed upon by KFI and Fogdog, but not less
than twice each work day, transmit files to Fogdog to update inventory and
order status information, including cancellations.
COLLATE PRINTING, PICKING, PACKING, AND SHIPPING
Regular Orders
All items available for picking (excluding back orders) are released on a
collate to the distribution center for shipping at the conclusion of the
order run. [*] of all in stock, non-damaged non-problem orders transmitted
to KFI prior to the midday order processing run, up to [*] of the Fogdog
forecast mentioned above, will be shipped on the same day. If less than
[*] of all in stock, non-damaged, non-problem orders transmitted to KFI
prior to the midday order processing run, up to [*] of the Fogdog forecast
mentioned above, are not shipped the same day, KFI will upgrade its
shipping services, and bear the costs of such upgrades, to bring the orders
up to the [*] level as follows: 1) UPS Ground to UPS 3-day select; 2) UPS
3-day select to UPS 2nd day air; 3) UPS 2nd day air to UPS next day air; 4)
USPS parcel post to USPS Priority Mail; 5) USPS Priority Mail to USPS
Express Mail Service. 100% of the orders carried over will be shipped by
the end of the next business day. (During high volume periods, as
determined by Keystone in its sole discretion, Keystone will use reasonable
efforts to implement weekend and evening schedules to maintain this
standard.)
QUALITY ASSURANCE
On a weekly basis, outbound order accuracy and order presentation will be
at minimum [*].
If outbound order accuracy is at or above [*] at the order level for a
given week, Fogdog and KFI will share equally the cost of return postage
and shipping charges for replacement items required to correct the outbound
order accuracy errors. If outbound order accuracy is below [*], the
parties shall share equally the cost of return postage and shipping charges
for replacement items required to correct the first [*] and thereafter KFI
will bear the entire cost of return postage and shipping charges for
replacement items required to correct the outbound order accuracy errors.
Outbound order accuracy is measured by the following criteria: (1) correct
item(s) in the package; (2) presence of gift boxing and/or gift wrapping
per Fogdog instructions; and (3) sufficient dunnage to protect item(s)
during shipping. Order presentation is defined as correct inserts,
labeling and/or other package appearance work per Fogdog instructions.
Distribution
Distribution will receive the collates (packing slips) at the conclusion of
each order run. KFI will pick, pack and ship the order, using a label
bearing Fogdog's name and logo as specified by Fogdog, together with the
return address specified by Fogdog. Products will
[*] = CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY

completed shipment record and tracking information will be transmitted to
Fogdog via the order status file. Fogdog will bill the customer and credit
Fogdog's bank account.
Credit Card Processing and Charge Backs
After the order is shipped, KFI will send the shipment confirmation file to
Fogdog. Fogdog will process the billing of the credit cards.
Returns

Fogdog at its facility. Items to be returned to inventory will be sent by
Fogdog to KFI and processed as new receipts.
Order Cancellations
Fogdog will cancel orders in its system if the file has not been
transferred to KFI. Once orders have been transferred to KFI, orders can
be canceled before they are released to the Distribution Center. If orders
have progressed beyond the cancellation point, Fogdog can contact the
account executive and reasonable efforts will be made by KFI to manually
track down the orders in the warehouse. KFI will notify Fogdog whether or
not KFI was able to locate and cancel the orders.
Inventory Shrinkage
KFI will be responsible for inventory accuracy at these levels:
. [*] in aggregate as determined by physical inventory
. [*] in aggregate on 12 week cycle counts after adjustments made for
active recounts
If there is shrinkage above these levels, KFI will pay the cost to replace
those goods.
Priority Order Processing
All priority orders, up to a maximum of [*] per day, received by KFI prior
to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time will be shipped that same day.
Reports
The reports referred to in Exhibit E of this agreement will be available to
Fogdog at daily, weekly and/or monthly frequencies as requested in writing
by Fogdog.
Inventory
KFI will conduct cycle counting of the reserve storage for a complete
turnover every 12 weeks. An annual physical inventory is also available
with two months' written notice.

TERM SHEET
1. Agreement by NIKE USA to open Fogdog, Inc. as a NIKE USA Retail Account.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1 Account Application. NIKE USA and Fogdog agree, which agreement shall
-------------------
be memorialized in greater detail pursuant to an Account Application and
Agreement on NIKE USA's standard form (the "Account Application"), that NIKE USA
will open Fogdog as a NIKE USA retail account. The Account Application will
govern all purchases and sales of NIKE products from NIKE USA, except to the
extent the Account Application is amended by the Web Sales Agreement referred to
in Section 1.2 of this Term Sheet. The Account Application shall indicate that
Fogdog is authorized to sell NIKE products only through Fogdog's retail web site
(i.e., Fogdog.com) and other sites described in Section 1.2.2 of this Term
Sheet, and only to consumers with shipping addresses in the United States or
U.S. military installations where NIKE USA sells products (including APO/FPO).
Any sales by Fogdog from any other physical location or web site or any direct
or indirect sales or transshipments to another retailer, distributor or broker
is strictly forbidden by the Account Application and shall be considered a
material breach. Fogdog shall be authorized in the Account Application to
purchase the full line of generally available NIKE products, including footwear,
apparel, equipment, accessories, ACG, Brand Jordan, golf, specialty categories,
etc.
1.2 Web Sales Agreement. NIKE USA and Fogdog agree, which agreement shall
-------------------
be memorialized in greater detail pursuant to a Web Sales Agreement (the "Web
Sales Agreement"), to the following terms and conditions:
1.2.1 Relationship to Account Application and Other Documents
-------------------------------------------------------
. In the event of any direct conflict or inconsistency between the
Account Application and the Web Sales Agreement, the Web Sales
Agreement will govern.
1.2.2 Grant of Right
--------------
. During the term of the Web Sales Agreement, as determined in
accordance with Section 1.2.16 of this Term Sheet, Fogdog will have
the right to market and sell NIKE USA products only on Fogdog.com, or
other web sites that are (i) hosted on file servers owned or leased
and operated by Fogdog and (ii)
---
operated under Fogdog's trademarks and trade name, whether or not "co-
branded" with the trademarks or trade names of other entities, and are
not (iii) "co-branded" with the trademarks or trade names of
-----------
manufacturers of sports and fitness or "athleisure" products,
retailers who derive a substantial portion of their revenues from the
sale of such
<PAGE>
products, or any other entity who holds itself out as such a
manufacturer or retailer or is perceived by a significant portion of
the public to be such a manufacturer or retailer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Fogdog shall retain the right to purchase banner
advertising on World Wide Web Portals and other URLs that link to
Fogdog.com.
. Fogdog's rights and duties shall not be assigned or delegated or
transferred by operation of law without NIKE USA's prior written
consent, which may be granted or withheld at NIKE USA's sole
discretion; provided, however, that NIKE USA will not unreasonably
withhold its consent to an assignment of rights and delegation of
duties to a wholly owned subsidiary of Fogdog that may be incorporated
to operate a Fogdog web site of the type described in this Section
1.2.2; and provided further that NIKE USA hereby consents to the
proposed re-incorporation of Fogdog in Delaware, as long as the
successor corporation succeeds to all of the rights and obligations of
Fogdog hereunder.
. Fogdog does not have the right to sell product purchased from NIKE for
the account of third parties.
. Fogdog is prohibited from selling products to consumers with shipping
addresses outside of the United States, except consumers at U.S.
military installations where NIKE USA sells products (including
APO/FPO). NIKE USA agrees to consider amending the Account Application
and Web Sales Agreement to permit sales to parties outside of the
United States, but any such expansion shall be at NIKE USA's sole
discretion based on all relevant factors, including but not limited to
applicable regulatory requirements, NIKE USA's obligations to third
parties, consistency with NIKE USA affiliates' practices and policies
in international markets, and the potential for disruption of
relationships with existing customers of NIKE USA's affiliates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, NIKE USA agrees to amend the Account
Application and Web Sales Agreement to permit sales to consumers
outside of the United States in any country in which NIKE.com is
allowed to sell, except to the extent such sales would cause or
constitute a violation of any agreement with a third party. To the
extent sales outside the United States would require the approval of
any NIKE USA affiliate, NIKE USA shall be obligated to secure such
approval on terms and conditions no less favorable to Fogdog than the
terms and conditions set forth in this Term Sheet, the Account
Application and the Web Sales Agreement.
<PAGE>
1.2.3 Exclusivity
-----------
. Fogdog agrees to use NIKE USA and its affiliates as the exclusive
suppliers of NIKE brand products to Fogdog.
. For a period commencing on the date hereof and ending on [*], NIKE USA
shall not open, and shall prevent its affiliates from opening, any
"new internet-only account," which shall be defined as any retailer
that sells only on the World Wide Web and does not fall within one of
the following exceptions: (i) any entity which is an affiliate, as
defined in Section 7.1 of this Term Sheet, of a current or future NIKE
USA account that derives the majority of its revenue from traditional
"brick and mortar" retail stores (for example, a special purpose web
operating subsidiary of an existing NIKE customer); or (ii) any entity
which serves as the e-commerce or web sales outsourcing provider for a
current or future NIKE USA account that derives the majority of its
revenue from traditional "brick and mortar" retail stores. In
addition, for a period commencing on the date hereof and ending on
[*] NIKE USA shall not invest, and shall prevent its affiliates from
investing, in the securities of any entity of the type described in
exception (ii) of the preceding sentence. The foregoing exceptions are
intended to ensure that NIKE USA does not have an obligation to Fogdog
to restrict the opportunities of its core customer base to sell NIKE
products over the World Wide Web (any such restrictions shall be made
unilaterally by NIKE USA after considering all relevant business and
legal considerations). NIKE acknowledges that the foregoing exception
for affiliates of current or future NIKE USA accounts is not intended
to cover "spinoffs" whose outstanding securities are publicly traded
or owned by venture capital firms or other financial investors. Sales
by NIKE USA or its affiliates to such spinoffs on or before [*] would
constitute a breach of this Term Sheet and the definitive Web Sales
Agreement.
. Fogdog acknowledges that NIKE USA's affiliate, NIKE.com, will continue
to buy goods from NIKE USA for sale on the World Wide Web, and that
nothing in the Web Sales Agreement or the definitive agreements limits
the ability of any NIKE USA affiliate (or any NIKE USA account with a
web sales presence) to sell on the web in direct competition with
Fogdog.
[*] = CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO
THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
<PAGE>
. Fogdog may sell its securities to competitors of NIKE USA; provided
that any such sale of securities representing a [*] [*] [*] and have
the consequences described in Section 1.2. 16.
1.2.4 Ownership and use of the NIKE Trademarks
----------------------------------------
. Nothing in this agreement or any other agreement between the parties
does or will affect NIKE's ownership of the NIKE trademarks.
Similarly, nothing in this agreement or any other agreement between
the parties does or will affect Fogdog's ownership of the Fogdog
trademarks. NIKE USA acknowledges that by opening Fogdog as a NIKE USA
account NIKE USA is granting Fogdog an implied license to advertise
NIKE products subject to the provisions of this Term Sheet and the
definitive agreements.

. Based on consideration of the projected volumes of Fogdog's purchases,
Fogdog's willingness to bear a portion of NIKE's costs of rapidly
making product available to Fogdog for the Holiday '99 season, and
other cost-related considerations unique to the e-commerce
environment, NIKE USA will extend to Fogdog pricing terms in
accordance with the strategic discount package described below in this
Section 1.2.5. As indicated below, Fogdog will also be eligible to
participate in all of the programs associated with similarly situated
retailers (Co-op, [*], etc) on a negotiated basis.

<PAGE>
1.2.6 Co-op [*]
---------
. Purchase of NIKE USA products will result in Co-op accruals of [*]
Co-op funds available in Fogdog's co-op account may be used by Fogdog
in accordance with the rules generally applicable to NIKE USA's co-op
program.
[*] will be available in amounts ranging from [*] of sales to Fogdog,
the precise percentage to be determined by NIKE [*] in accordance with
the criteria usually applied in administering its [*] budget.
1.2.7 Special Make-Ups
----------------
. Special make-ups are defined as footwear styles (combinations of
materials, colors, features, etc.) which are developed by NIKE USA and
its affiliates for sale to a single retailer. Special make-ups may
share features, colors, etc. with products generally available in
NIKE's line of products, or special make-ups for other customers, but
they are different enough to be objectively perceived as unique by the
average footwear consumer.
. Fogdog has the right to receive exclusive special make-ups provided
Fogdog meets the order eligibility criteria usually applied by NIKE
USA for such products. Such criteria include, for example, the nature
of the special make-up (e.g., unique color combination vs. unique
outsole with special tooling requirements), production capacity, order
volumes, etc.
. Fogdog acknowledges that NIKE may engage in special make-up projects
with various retailers who order extraordinary volumes, are willing to
fund development costs, or are otherwise willing to contribute to
NIKE's product creation process. These projects may result in features
or technologies that are not eligible for incorporation into special
make-ups that Fogdog may desire to order. One example is tuned air
technology.
1.2.8 Early Releases
--------------
. Early releases are defined as products intended to be included in NIKE
USA's generally available line of products but which are released to a
select retailer or group of retailers at least [*] prior to general
availability.
[*] = CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO
THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
<PAGE>

eligible to receive, on a non-exclusive basis, [*] NIKE reserves the
right to consider such factors as category emphasis in determining
which early releases will be available to Fogdog.
1.2.9 Special Promotional Programs.
----------------------------
. Fogdog is allowed to purchase substantially all products available to
NIKE.com in connection with NIKE.com's special promotional programs.
Examples include special limited edition letterman's jackets, golf
gift packs, etc. This does not include special make-ups or early
releases or products that are made to order by NIKE USA for NIKE.com's
customers.
1.2.10 Assistance with Web Site [*]
----------------------------
. Without cost to Fogdog (except as reflected in Section 4.5), NIKE USA
will provide as much assistance as possible, given NIKE's internal
resource constraints and obligations to third parties, to provide
[*] to Fogdog, including product and other images, the provision of
samples for image development, etc.
. Without cost to Fogdog (except as reflected in Section 4.5), NIKE USA
will allow Fogdog to use NIKE's conversion charts for footwear sizing
and the NIKE apparel sizing program as such charts are released within
the NIKE USA organization.
. NIKE USA shall own all right, title and interest in and to any content
provided or created by NIKE USA, [*]
1.2.11 Specialty Footwear
------------------
. Fogdog has the right to return for a full price refund (i.e., NIKE
USA's list price less the discount applicable to Fogdog),[*] of the
aggregate purchase price in any selling season of product in NIKE's
"specialty footwear" categories (the precise percentage [*] [*] to be
determined by Fogdog in its sole discretion). Any such returns must be
received by NIKE USA [*] after the date of receipt by Fogdog.

<PAGE>
1.2.12 Dedicated Sales and Service Team.
--------------------------------
. Without cost to Fogdog (except as reflected in Section 4.5), Fogdog
will initially have priority access to a team of 3-5 individuals
including a strategic account manager, customer service
representative, footwear account executive and apparel/equipment
account executive. As Fogdog's volumes grow, these will become
dedicated resources (again, at no additional cost to Fogdog) if
necessary to ensure that Fogdog receives excellent service.
. Within 72 hours after execution of this Term Sheet by Fogdog, this
team will commence showing NIKE USA's product line to Fogdog, working
with Fogdog on a merchandizing and order strategy, and doing
everything reasonably possible to obtain an agreed upon selection of
available NIKE products for the Holiday '99 season.
. Without cost to Fogdog (except as reflected in Section 4.5), NIKE
USA's "EKINs" will be available to Fogdog on a priority basis to train
Fogdog's customer service and site content people regarding the
technical and performance aspects of NIKE products.
1.2.13 [*]
. Fogdog will use its best efforts, consistent with its privacy
obligations to its customers, to provide NIKE USA with [*] provided
that any such information must be reasonably material in terms of the
uses permitted by the last paragraph of this Section 1.2.13.
. Fogdog will use its best efforts and act as soon as reasonably
possible to amend its privacy policy to include a feature where
prospective customers have the opportunity to electronically "opt-in"
to have their information provided to NIKE USA and its affiliates.
. Fogdog will act as soon as reasonably possible to ask its existing
customers who have engaged in past transactions with Fogdog or
registered with Fogdog whether they would consent to the provision of

affiliates. This could be in connection

WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO

<PAGE>
with an announcement of the new relationship between NIKE and Fogdog.
. NIKE USA shall not, and shall not allow its affiliates to, directly or
indirectly use Fogdog's customer data to solicit Fogdog's customers
(for example, by advertising the availability of product on NIKE.com
or at another retailer's store or web site), but may use such data for
brand enhancement purposes (for example, announcing appearances by
NIKE-affiliated athletes or providing information about NIKE sponsored
events, provided that such brand enhancing activities do not direct
potential purchasers to a named retailer or retail location).
1.2.14 Approval of Advertising and Advertising on Fogdog.com.
-----------------------------------------------------
. NIKE USA will have the right of reasonable prior approval of marketing
efforts, including advertising and web site design, that involves
display of the NIKE marks or assets generally associated with the
brand (e.g., use of athletes associated with NIKE). Such right of
reasonable prior approval shall not require Fogdog to submit marketing
proposals, designs or concepts that are substantially similar to
proposals, designs or concepts that have been previously approved. All
advertising involving athlete images must be submitted for approval at
least 10 days prior to use, and NIKE USA reserves the right to delay
or prohibit Fogdog's use of such images to the extent necessary to
fulfill NIKE USA's contractual obligations to third parties.
. Fogdog will comply with all trademark usage guidelines promulgated by
NIKE from time to time.
. Fogdog will use commercially reasonably efforts to advertise the
availability of closeout or reduced price inventory at an auction page
or other location within Fogdog's web site that is separate from the
location of Fogdog's other advertising for NIKE products.
. In the event Fogdog grants the right to third parties to advertise
(whether through banner advertising or otherwise) on Fogdog.com, NIKE
shall be afforded [*] of or advertiser on Fogdog.com.

-------------------------
. Unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties as to the timing
and content of any public announcement or press release, each of the
parties agrees to keep the terms of this Term Sheet and the definitive
agreements and all other information exchanged by the parties
confidential, subject to the usual exceptions for disclosures required
by statute, rule or regulation or other applicable law (for example,
the federal and state securities laws). NIKE acknowledges that Fogdog
will be required by applicable law to disclose the terms of this Term
Sheet and, if applicable, the definitive agreements, to potential
investors in connection with Fogdog's contemplated private placement
of Series D Preferred Stock. Fogdog agrees to make such disclosures
only to individuals who agree to keep such information confidential in
accordance with NIKE USA's standard form of Confidentiality Agreement.
. Fogdog will apply to the S.E.C. for and use its best efforts to obtain
confidential treatment for the terms of this Term Sheet and the
agreements embodied herein and the definitive agreements on the
grounds that they contain confidential pricing information. NIKE USA
will identify in writing prior to the initial filing of Fogdog's

NIKE USA believes should be covered by the request for confidential
treatment.
1.2.16 Term and Termination
--------------------

on the date hereof and end on [*].
. On or after the end of the initial term, if Fogdog's aggregate actual

at any time terminate the Web Sales Agreement. NIKE USA will give
notice of its election to terminate at least [*] days before the

<PAGE>
[*]
. At the end of the initial term, if Fogdog's aggregate actual purchases
of NIKE products from calendar [*] do exceed [*] of Fogdog's aggregate
projections for the [*] quarter comparison period, NIKE will not have
the right to terminate the Web Sales Agreement and the term shall
extend for an additional [*] year extension term ending [*].
. On or after the end of the [*] year renewal term, if Fogdog's
aggregate actual purchases of NIKE products from calendar [*] do not
exceed [*] of Fogdog's aggregate projections for the [*] quarter
comparison period, NIKE may at any time terminate the Web Sales
Agreement. NIKE USA will give notice of its election to terminate at
least 60 days before the termination date. In such event, NIKE would

incurable and give rise to a right of immediate termination, including
violation of intellectual property rights, breach of confidentiality,
and failure to comply with the express prohibitions in the Account
Application (transshipping, etc.). A sale of stock representing [*]
percent or more of the voting power of Fogdog's outstanding voting
securities or a sale of stock to a competitor of NIKE USA [*] will be
considered to be a material, incurable breach by Fogdog and give rise
to an immediate right of termination, but shall not result in
liability to NIKE USA or any affiliate for money damages. Subject to
the preceding sentence, in the event of a breach of this agreement
either party may seek whatever remedies are available under applicable
law.
. Either party has the right to terminate the Web Sales Agreement

Account Application either party will have the right to terminate the
