              NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (unaudited)

A.     Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by CMGI,
Inc. ("CMGI" or "the Company") in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a
normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's
financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for
the periods indicated. While the Company believes that the disclosures presented
are adequate to make the information not misleading, these consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements and related notes for the year ended July 31, 1999 which are
contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("the SEC") on October 29, 1999. The results for the
three- and six-month periods ended January 31, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Certain prior
year amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to conform with current
year presentation.

B.     Two-For-One Common Stock Split

On January 11, 2000, the Company effected a two-for-one common stock split in
the form of a stock dividend. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements
have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect this
event.

C.     Other Gains, Net

During the six months ended January 31, 2000, the Company sold 3,155,000 shares
of Yahoo! Inc. common stock and 260,000 shares of Open Market common stock for
proceeds totaling $684.2 million. The Company recorded pre-tax gains of $208
million and $5.8 million on the sales of the Yahoo! Inc. common stock and Open
Market common stock, respectively.

During the six months ended January 31, 1999, the Company recognized a pre-tax
gain of $94.7 million related to the sales of  investments in Reel.com, Sage
Enterprises, Inc. and Amazon.com and sales of Lycos, Inc. (Lycos) common stock.

D.     Gain on Issuance of Stock by Subsidiaries and Affiliates

In October 1999, the Company's subsidiary, NaviSite, commenced its initial
public offering of common stock, issuing approximately 5.5 million shares at a
price of $14 per share, raising $69.6 million in net proceeds for Navisite. As a
result of the initial public offering, the Company's ownership interest in
NaviSite was reduced from approximately 89.6% to approximately 71.8%. The
Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $46.4 million as a result of the initial
public offering.

In November 1999, the underwriters of NaviSite's initial public offering
exercised their over-allotment option in full to purchase an additional 825,000
shares of common stock at $14 per share. As a result, the Company's ownership
interest in NaviSite was further reduced from approximately 71.8% to
approximately 69.5%. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $5.5 million as a
result of the exercise of the over-allotment.

During the first six months of fiscal 1999, the Company recognized pre-tax gains
related to the stock issuances of affiliates Lycos and GeoCities of $20.3
million and $28.5 million, respectively.

The pre-tax gains represent the increase in the book value of the Company's net
equity in the subsidiary or affiliate as a result of the subsidiary or
affiliates' stock issuances.

E.     Acquisitions and Investments

In August 1999, CMGI completed its acquisition of approximately 81.5% of
AltaVista Company (AltaVista), a Web portal that integrates proprietary Internet
technology and services to deliver relevant results for both individuals and
Web-based businesses, for 37,989,950 CMGI common shares valued at approximately
$1.8 billion, 18,090.45 shares of the Company's Series D preferred stock, which
were converted into approximately 3,618,090 million shares of CMGI common stock
in October 1999 valued at approximately $173 million, three-year notes totaling
$220 million and the exchange of CMGI and subsidiary stock options for AltaVista
stock options. The AltaVista acquisition included the assets and liabilities
constituting the AltaVista Internet search service and also included former

Shopping.com. The shares issued by the Company in connection with the AltaVista
acquisition are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and are subject
to restrictions on transferability for a period of one year from the date of
issuance. The total purchase price for AltaVista was valued at approximately
$2.4 billion, including costs of acquisition of $4 million. The value of the
Company's shares included in the purchase price was recorded net of a weighted
average 10% market value discount to reflect the restrictions on
transferability.

In January 2000, CMGI completed its acquisition of AdForce Inc. (AdForce), a
leading online provider of centralized, outsourced ad management and delivery
services. The total purchase price for AdForce was valued at approximately $545

stock valued at approximately $715.7 million, options and warrants to purchase

costs of approximately $20.5 million.

On January 20, 2000, Engage Technologies, Inc. (Engage), a majority-owned
operating company of CMGI, announced a definitive agreement to acquire Flycast
and Adsmart from CMGI. Engage will acquire Flycast and Adsmart from CMGI through
the issuance of approximately 65 million shares of Engage common stock, (as
adjusted to reflect the Engage two-for-one stock split payable April 3, 2000.)
The transaction is expected to be completed in April/May 2000.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2000, the Company also completed its
acquisitions of 1ClickCharge (formerly referred to as Cha! Technologies
Services, Inc), iAtlas, Inc. (iAtlas) and Signatures SNI, Inc. (Signatures
Network) for combined consideration of approximately $65 million in CMGI common
stock, convertible notes, cash and commitments to fund a total of approximately

acquisitions of 1stUp.com (1stUp), Clara Vista, Activate.net Corporation
(Activate), AdKnowledge Inc. (Adknowledge), Tribal Voice, Equilibrium,
GreenWitch LLC (GreenWitch) and the remaining 33% minority interest in Netwright
not already owned by CMGI, for combined consideration of approximately $347
million in CMGI and subsidiary common stock, options and warrants to purchase
common stock of CMGI and subsidiaries and notes which are payable in CMGI common
stock. In the first step of the AdKnowledge transaction, CMGI acquired an 88%
equity stake in AdKnowledge. The second step of the AdKnowledge transaction, the
contribution of AdKnowledge shares held by AdKnowledge shareholders, including
CMGI, to Engage in exchange for approximately 10.3 million shares of Engage
common stock (as adjusted to reflect the Engage two-for-one stock split payable
April 3, 2000) closed on December 22, 1999. Upon completion of the transaction,
CMGI received approximately 9.8 million shares of Engage (as adjusted to reflect
the Engage two-for-one stock split payable April 3, 2000), and AdKnowledge
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Engage.

</TABLE>

The above allocation of the AltaVista purchase price, represents the Company's
81.5% interest in the fair values of the acquired underlying assets and
liabilities of AltaVista. The purchase price allocations for each of the
acquisitions which were consummated during the first six months of fiscal year
2000 are preliminary and are subject to adjustment upon finalization of the
purchase accounting. The in-process research and development charge of $4.7
million recorded during the three months ended January 31, 2000 relates to the
acquisitions 1ClickCharge and AdKnowledge. The finalization of the purchase
accounting for AdForce, Equilibrium, Flycast, and GreenWitch, may result in a
significant portion of the aggregate purchase price of $1.5 billion being
identified as in-process research and development, which will be charged to
operating results in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 when the amounts are
determined.

Presented below is unaudited selected pro forma financial information for the
six-month periods ended January 31, 2000 and 1999 as if the acquisitions of
AltaVista, AdForce and Flycast had occurred at the beginning of each period. The
unaudited pro forma financial information excludes the impact of acquisitions
other than AltaVista, AdForce and Flycast, whose historical results are not
material to the pro forma financial information shown below. The unaudited pro
forma financial information is provided for informational purposes only and
should not be construed to be indicative of the Company's consolidated results
of operations had the acquisitions been consummated on the dates assumed and do
not project the Company's results of operations for any future period:

On October 29, 1999, the Company purchased 250,000 shares of Akamai Technologies
common stock at a cost of $26 per share. On November 29, 1999, the Company and
Pacific Century CyberWorks Limited (PCCW), a company listed on the Stock
Exchange of Hong Kong, completed their previously agreed to exchange of stock.
The Company received approximately 448.3 million shares of PCCW stock in
exchange for approximately 8.1 million shares of the Company's common stock. The
Akamai common stock acquired is accounted for as an available-for-sale security
and is carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. The PCCW stock
acquired is subject to a three year restriction on transferability and
accordingly is accounted for as a long-term asset at cost. The cost recorded for
the PCCW stock is $302 million, which represents the fair value of the CMGI
shares issued in the exchange as of the date the share exchange agreement was
executed, less a fair market value discount to reflect the restrictions on
transferability.

The Company's continuing operations have been classified in two primary business
segments, (i) Internet and (ii) fulfillment services. The Internet segment

</TABLE>

All of the acquisitions during the first six months of fiscal year 2000 and the
increase in the value of the available-for-sale securities relate to the
Internet segment and are the primary reasons for the increase in the net assets
of the Company. Other gains, net, minority interest and equity in losses of
affiliates as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six
months ended January 31, 2000 and 1999 relate to the Internet segment. All
intercompany transactions have been eliminated, and intersegment revenues are
not significant.

G.     Borrowing Arrangements

In conjunction with its acquisition of AltaVista, the Company issued three year
notes totaling $220 million to Compaq and Digital Equipment Corporation
(Digital), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Compaq, due August 18, 2002. Interest on
each note, at a rate of 10.5% per annum, is due and payable semiannually on each
February 18 and August 18 until the note is paid in full. Principal and interest
payments due on the notes are payable, at the option of CMGI, in cash,
marketable securities (as defined in the note) or any combination thereof.

Upon its maturity in January 2000, the Company repaid the entire amount of its
previously outstanding $20 million collateralized corporate notes payable.

H.     Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share".  Basic
earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of common stock
equivalents and convertible preferred stock is included in the calculation of
diluted earnings per share only when the effect of their inclusion would be
dilutive. The effect of convertible preferred stock using the "if-converted"
method and the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive
for the three and six months ended January 31, 2000 and, therefore, have been
excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

If a subsidiary has dilutive stock options or warrants outstanding, diluted
earnings per share is computed by first deducting from income (loss) from
continuing operations the income attributable to the potential exercise of the
dilutive stock options or warrants of the subsidiary. The effect of income
attributable to dilutive subsidiary stock equivalents was immaterial for the
three and six months ended January 31, 2000 and 1999.

The reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted earnings (loss)
per share computations is as follows:

Substantially all of the consideration for acquisitions of businesses by the
Company, or its subsidiaries, during the first six months of fiscal 2000
included the issuance of shares of the Company's or its subsidiaries' stock
and/or the issuance of seller's notes.

During the six months ended January 31, 2000, significant non-cash investing
activities included the exchange of 8.1 million shares of the Company's common
stock for approximately 448.3 million shares of PCCW stock. The PCCW shares
received were valued at $302 million, which represents the value of the CMGI
shares issued in the exchange on the date the agreement was executed, less a
market value discount to reflect the restrictions on transferability.

K.     Available-for-Sale Securities

At January 31, 2000, available-for-sale securities primarily consist of common
stock investments. Available-for-sale investments are carried at fair value
based on quoted market prices, net of a market value discount to reflect any
remaining restrictions on transferability. Available-for-sale securities at
January 31, 2000 included approximately 1.5 million shares of Yahoo! Inc. valued
at $474 million, 12.9 million shares of Lycos Inc. valued at $947 million, 2.2
million shares of Silknet Software, Inc. (Silknet) valued at $328 million, 4.4
million shares of Hollywood Entertainment valued at $52 million, 2.7 million
shares of Ventro Corporation (formerly Chemdex Corporation) valued at $264
million, 1.3 million shares of Critical Path, Inc. (Critical Path) valued at $84
million and 250,000 shares of Akamai Technologies, Inc. (Akamai) valued at $62
million. Shares of publicly traded companies held by CMG@Ventures I and II which
have been allocated to CMG@Ventures I's and II's profit members have been
classified in other non-current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance
Sheet and valued at carrying value as of the date of allocation. Certain shares
included in available-for-sale securities at January 31, 2000 may be required to
be allocated to CMG@Ventures I's and II's profit members in the future. A net
unrealized holding gain of $982.6 million, net of deferred income taxes of
$719.3 million, has been reflected in the equity section of the consolidated
balance sheet based on the change in market value of the available-for-sale
securities from dates of acquisition to January 31, 2000.

L.     New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AcSEC"), issued Statement of
Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use". SOP 98-1 requires the capitalization of various
internal costs related to the implementation of computer software obtained for
internal use. The Company has adopted this standard in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2000. The adoption of SOP 98-1 did not have a material impact on its
financial position or its results of operations.

In April 1998, AcSEC issued SOP 98-5, "Reporting Costs of Start-Up Activities".
Under SOP 98-5, the cost of start-up activities should be expensed as incurred.
Start-up activities are broadly defined as those one-time activities related to
opening a new facility, introducing a new product or service, conducting
business in a new territory, conducting business with a new class of customer,
commencing some new operation or organizing a new entity. SOP 98-5 is effective
for the Company's fiscal 2000 financial statements. The adoption did not have a
material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

               NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Continued)

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts
(collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. SFAS 133
requires the recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in
the statement of financial position and the measurement of those instruments at
fair value. The Company is required to adopt this standard in the first quarter
of fiscal year 2001 pursuant to SFAS No. 137 (issued in June 1999), which delays
the adoption of SFAS 133 until that time. The Company expects that the adoption
of SFAS 133 will not have a material impact on its financial position or its
results of operations.

In November 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 100, "Restructuring and Impairment Charges."  In
December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." SAB No. 100 expresses the views of the SEC staff regarding the
accounting for and disclosure of certain expenses not commonly reported in
connection with exit activities and business combinations. This includes the
accrual of exit and employee termination costs and the recognition of impairment
charges. SAB No. 101 expresses the views of the SEC staff in applying generally
accepted accounting principles to certain revenue recognition issues. Although
the Company is still in the process of analyzing the impact of SAB No. 100 and
SAB No. 101, if any, the Company expects that there will be no material impact
on its financial position or its results of operations.

M.     Subsequent Events

Subsequent to January 31, 2000, the Company sold 356,500 shares of its Yahoo!
common stock for proceeds of approximately $64.7 million.

On February 3, 2000, the Company's subsidiary, AltaVista Company completed its
previously announced acquisition of Raging Bull in a stock-for-stock exchange of
privately held shares of each company. (CMGI owned approximately 82% of
AltaVista and CMG@Ventures III LLC owned approximately 10% of Raging Bull's
outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis.)

On February 3, 2000, the Company and divine interVentures, Inc. (divine), a
Chicago-based Internet operating company focused on the business-to-business
marketplace, entered into an agreement whereby CMGI will acquire approximately
18.3 million shares of divine's series E convertible preferred stock for
approximately $18.3 million. In addition, divine agreed to sell to CMGI an
additional number of shares of its class A common stock such that, immediately
after a qualified initial public offering, CMGI will beneficially own 4.9% of
divine's class A common stock, in exchange for shares of CMGI common stock
having a market value equal to the shares of divine's class A common stock being
sold to CMGI, based upon the initial public offering price.

On February 9, 2000, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire
uBid.com, a leading business to consumer e-commerce auction site for
consideration preliminarily valued at $380 million, consisting of CMGI common
stock, options to purchase CMGI common stock and estimated additional
acquisition costs. Under the terms of the merger agreement, CMGI will issue
 .2628 CMGI shares for every share of uBid.com held on the closing date of the
transaction. Closing of the transaction, expected in May 2000, is subject to
regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, including formal approval
by uBid.com shareholders.

On February 10, 2000, CMG@Ventures III, LLC completed the sale of its interest
in Promedix.com, Inc. to Ventro Corporation (formerly Chemdex Corporation). In
exchange for CMG@Ventures III, LLC's approximate 7.4% interest in Promedix,
CMG@Ventures III, LLC received 1.0 million shares of Ventro Corporation. Under
the terms of the CMG@Ventures III LLC agreement, a portion of these shares may
be required to be allocated to CMG@Ventures III LLC's profit members in the
future.

On February 14, 2000, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire an
approximate 94.1% equity stake in Tallan, Inc., (Tallan) a provider of Internet
and e-commerce professional services to Fortune 1000 and dot.com companies for
consideration preliminarily valued at approximately $920 million. Under the
terms of the agreement, the purchase price will consist of approximately $20
million in cash, approximately $300 million in notes payable maturing twenty
days from closing, approximately $395 million in notes payable bearing interest
at 6.5%, maturing six to nine months after closing and payable in cash or CMGI
stock at the option of CMGI, and options to purchase CMGI common stock valued at
approximately $200 million. Additionally, the Company currently estimates
additional acquisition costs of approximately $5 million. Closing of the
transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions,
and is expected to be completed in May 2000.

On February 29, 2000, the Company announced an agreement with Cable & Wireless
plc to issue $500 million in shares of CMGI common stock in exchange for $500
million in shares of PCCW, which Cable & Wireless plc will receive upon the
completion of Cable & Wireless plc's sale of their Cable & Wireless HKT
subsidiary to PCCW.

On March 1, 2000, the Company along with Hicks, Muse, Tate, & Furst
Incorporated, ("HMTF"), and PCCW, announced the formation of a new venture
capital partnership, @Ventures Global Partners. Under the terms of the
partnership, the parties have each committed to invest up to $500 million, for a
total of up to $1.5 billion, to support the development of Internet companies
based in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to raise sufficient funds for the @Ventures Global Partners
arrangement or raise such funds on terms that are favorable to the Company.

On March 10, 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of yesmail.com, a
leading outsourcer of permission email marketing technologies and services for
consideration preliminarily valued at $671 million, consisting of CMGI common
stock, options to purchase CMGI common stock and estimated additional
acquisition costs. The Company issued .2504 shares of CMGI for every share of
yesmail.com outstanding on the closing date.

On March 16, 2000, a derivative action was filed in the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware against CMGI, Edward A. Bennett, Christopher A. Evans, Craig
D. Goldman, Andrew J. Hajducky III, Frederic D. Rosen, Paul L. Schaut, David S.
Wetherell and Engage Technologies Inc. The complaint alleges that, in connection
with the sale by CMGI of Flycast Communications Corporation and Adsmart
Corporation to Engage, CMGI and the individual defendants have violated their
fiduciary duties of loyalty and good faith. CMGI believes that the complaint is
without merit and intends to contest the claims vigorously.

Basis of Presentation

Certain amounts for prior periods in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements, and in the discussion below have been reclassified to conform with
current period presentations.

Three months ended January 31, 2000 compared to three months ended January 31,
1999

     Net revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2000 increased $114,497,000,
or 294%, to $153,469,000 from $38,972,000 for the quarter ended January 31,
1999. The increase was largely attributable to an increase of $110,365,000 in
net revenues for the Company's Internet segment due to the acquisitions of
1stUp.com, Activate.net, AdForce, AdKnowledge and Flycast during the second
quarter of fiscal 2000, the acquisitions of AltaVista and Signatures Network
during the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the acquisitions of I/PRO and 2CAN
during the third quarter of fiscal 1999, and increased net revenues from
Adsmart, Engage, MyWay.com, NaviNet, and NaviSite. Additionally, net revenues in
the Company's fulfillment services segment increased $4,132,000 primarily
reflecting increased volume of turnkey business from Cisco and growth in
Internet - related fulfillment business. The Company believes that its
subsidiary companies will continue to develop and introduce their products
commercially, actively pursue increased revenues from new and existing
customers, and look to expand into new market opportunities. Additionally, on
March 10, 2000, the Company acquired yesmail.com. The Company has also signed
agreements to acquire several additional Internet companies, including Ubid.com
and Tallan. These acquisitions remain subject to customary closing conditions,
including regulatory approval and target company stockholder approval.
Therefore, as a result of both increased sales by existing companies, and
incremental revenues from new acquisitions, the Company expects to report future
revenue growth.

     Cost of revenues increased $84,628,000, or 228%, to $121,749,000 in the
second quarter of fiscal 2000 from $37,121,000 for the corresponding period in
fiscal 1999, reflecting increases of $83,314,000 and $1,314,000 in the Internet
and fulfillment services segments, respectively. Internet segment cost of
revenues increases were primarily attributable to higher revenues as a result of
the acquisitions of 1stUp.com, Activate.net, AdForce, AdKnowledge, Flycast,
AltaVista, Signatures Network, I/PRO and 2CAN, and the acceleration of
operations for other subsidiaries within the segment. Cost of revenues increased
in the fulfillment services segment primarily as a result of higher revenues.
Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues in the Internet segment decreased
to 79% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 from 161% in the same period during
the prior year, primarily as a result of the acquisitions of AltaVista and
Signatures Network and improved margin percentages at NaviSite. Fulfillment
services segment cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues decreased to
80% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 from 86% in the second quarter of
fiscal 1999, primarily reflecting increased operating efficiencies related to
turnkey operations.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  (continued)

     Research and development expenses increased $26,230,000, or 505%, to
$31,424,000 in the quarter ended January 31, 2000 from $5,194,000 in the prior
year's second quarter. All research and development expenses in both periods
were incurred within the Company's Internet segment. The increase as compared to
the prior year was primarily due to the acquisition of AltaVista and the
increased development efforts at Engage, NaviSite, iCast, and MyWay.com. In-
process research and development expense was $4.7 million during the three
months ended January 31, 2000, resulting from the AdKnowledge and 1ClickCharge
acquisitions. All in-process research and development expenses were incurred
within the Company's Internet segment. Further, related to the Company's
acquisitions and investments made during the second quarter of fiscal year 2000,
the acquisition accounting and valuation for total investments of approximately
$1.5 billion related to AdForce, Equilibrium, Flycast, FoodBuy.com, Green Witch,
GXMedia and Half.com may result in a significant portion of the purchase price
being identified as in-process research and development, which will be charged
to operating results in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 when the amounts are
determined. The Company anticipates it will continue to devote substantial
resources to product development and that these costs may substantially increase
in future periods.

     Selling expenses increased $105,819,000, or 1,530%, to $112,737,000 in the
second quarter ended January 31, 2000 from $6,918,000 for the corresponding
period in fiscal 1999, primarily reflecting a $106,034,000 increase in the
Company's Internet segment. The increased costs in the Internet segment are
primarily due to the acquisitions of 1stUp.com, Activate.net, AdForce,
AdKnowledge, Flycast, AltaVista, Signatures Network, 1ClickCharge, Activerse,
I/PRO and 2CAN, and the continued growth of sales and marketing efforts at
various other CMGI subsidiaries related to product launches and infrastructure.
Selling expenses in the fulfillment services segment decreased by $215,000 in
comparison with last year's second quarter due primarily to headcount
reductions. Selling expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased to 73% in
the second quarter of fiscal 2000 from 18% for the corresponding period in
fiscal 1999, primarily reflecting the impact of acquisitions, and the expansion
of sales and marketing efforts related to product launches and infrastructure
within the Company's Internet segment. As the Company's subsidiaries continue to
introduce new products and expand sales, the Company expects to incur
significant promotional expenses, as well as expenses related to the hiring of
additional sales and marketing personnel and increased advertising expenses, and
anticipates that these costs will substantially increase in future periods.

     General and administrative expenses increased $31,558,000, or 339%, to
$40,868,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 from $9,310,000 for the
corresponding period in fiscal 1999. The Internet segment experienced an
increase of $30,086,000, primarily due to the acquisitions of 1stUp.com,
Activate.net, AdKnowledge, Flycast, AltaVista, Signatures Network, 1ClickCharge,
Activerse, I/PRO and 2CAN, increased CMGI corporate expenses, and the building
of management infrastructures in several of the Company's Internet segment
subsidiaries. General and administrative expenses in the fulfillment services
segment increased by $1,472,000 in comparison with last year's second quarter,
largely due to the building of management infrastructure. General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased to 27% in the
second quarter of fiscal 2000 from 24% in the second quarter of fiscal 1999. The
Company anticipates that its general and administrative expenses will continue
to increase significantly as the Company adds newly acquired subsidiaries and as
existing subsidiaries continue to grow and expand their administrative staffs
and infrastructures.

     Amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation increased
$252,333,000, or 16,845%, to $253,831,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2000
from $1,498,000 for the corresponding period in fiscal 1999, reflecting a
$252,314,000 increase in the Internet segment, primarily due to the acquisitions
of 1stUp.com, Activate.net, AdForce, AdKnowledge, Flycast, AltaVista, Activerse,
I/PRO and 2CAN. Included in these amounts were $5,238,000 and $250,000 of
amortization of stock-based compensation for the three months ended January 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively. Substantially all of the amortization of stock-
based compensation relates to deferred compensation recorded as a result of the
application of purchase accounting to the Company's acquisitions. The Company
anticipates that its amortization of intangibles and stock-based compensation
expense will continue to increase significantly as the Company and its
subsidiaries continue to acquire new companies in the future.

                                  (continued)

     Gain on issuance of stock by subsidiaries and affiliates in the second
quarter of fiscal 2000 reflects the pre-tax gain of $5,474,000 on the issuance
of stock by NaviSite as a result of the exercise of the underwriters' over-
allotment option in its initial public offering. Gain on issuance of stock by
subsidiaries and affiliates for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 of $4,261,000
arose primarily as a result of the issuance of stock by GeoCities in its
acquisition of Starseed, Inc. (known as WebRing) in December 1998.

     Other gains, net in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 primarily reflect a
pre-tax gain of $159,717,000 on the sale of 1,515,000 shares of Yahoo! common
stock and a pre-tax gain of $5,832,000 on the sale of 260,000 shares of Open
Market, Inc. common stock. Other gains, net recorded in the second quarter of
fiscal 1999 included a $43,596,000 gain on the sale of Lycos, Inc. common stock
and a $7,002,000 gain on the sale of Amazon.com, Inc. common stock.

     Minority interest, net increased to $31,576,000 in the second quarter of
fiscal 2000 from $103,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1999, primarily
reflecting minority interest in net losses of four subsidiaries during the
second quarter of fiscal 2000, including AltaVista, Blaxxun, Engage, and
NaviSite.

     Interest income increased $9,901,000 to $10,649,000 in the second fiscal
quarter of 2000 from $748,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1999, reflecting
increased income associated with higher average corporate cash equivalent
balances compared with the prior year and interest earned by Engage and NaviSite
on cash raised from their initial public offerings. Interest expense increased
$6,665,000 to $7,830,000 in the second fiscal quarter of 2000 from $1,165,000 in
the second quarter of fiscal 1999, primarily due to the notes issued as part of
the AltaVista acquisition in August 1999 and higher corporate collateralized
borrowings.

     Equity in losses of affiliates resulted from the Company's minority
ownership in certain investments that are accounted for under the equity method
of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company's
proportionate share of each affiliate's operating losses and amortization of the
Company's net excess investment over its equity in each affiliate's net assets
is included in equity in losses of affiliates. Equity in losses of affiliates
for the quarter ended January 31, 2000 includes the results from the Company's
minority ownership in ThingWorld.com, WebCT, FoodBuy.com, Half.com, GX Media.com
and Engage Technologies Japan, Inc. Equity in losses of affiliates for the
quarter ended January 31, 1999 included the results from the Company's minority
ownership in Lycos, GeoCities, ThingWorld.com, Silknet, Speech Machines,
MotherNature.com, Magnitude Network and Engage Technologies Japan, Inc. The
Company expects its portfolio companies to continue to invest in development of
their products and services, and to recognize operating losses, which will
result in future charges recorded by the Company to reflect its proportionate
share of such losses.

     Income tax benefit in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was $23,800,000.
Exclusive of taxes provided for significant, unusual or extraordinary items, the
Company provides for income taxes on a year to date basis at an effective rate
based upon its estimate of full year earnings.

     Net revenues for the six months ended January 31, 2000 increased
$200,823,000, or 263%, to $277,200,000 from $76,377,000 for the six months ended
January 31, 1999. The increase was largely attributable to an increase of

the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the acquisitions of AltaVista and Signatures
Network during the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the acquisitions of I/PRO and

revenues in the first fiscal quarter was approximately $12 million recorded by
AltaVista's Shopping.com subsidiary related to the completion of a large order
for the sale of computer equipment purchased by Shopping.com from Compaq
Computer and sold to FreePC, an AltaVista investee. Additionally, net revenues
in the Company's fulfillment services segment increased $10,268,000 primarily
reflecting increased volume of turnkey business from Cisco and growth in
Internet - related fulfillment business, including the completion of an
approximate $4.3 million special project order from JuniorNet, a leading Web
destination for children, during the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company
believes that its subsidiary companies will continue to develop and introduce
their products commercially, actively pursue increased revenues from new and
existing customers, and look to expand into new market opportunities.
Additionally, on March 10, 2000, the Company acquired yesmail.com. The Company

     Research and development expenses increased $41,110,000, or 391%, to
$51,612,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2000 from $10,502,000 for the
corresponding period in fiscal 1999. All research and development expenses in
both periods were incurred within the Company's Internet segment. The increase
as compared to the prior year was primarily due to the acquisition of AltaVista
and the increased development efforts at Engage, NaviSite, iCast, and MyWay.com.
In-process research and development expense was $4.7 million during the six
months ended January 31, 2000, resulting from the AdKnowledge and 1ClickCharge

in fiscal 1999, primarily reflecting a $170,693,000 increase in the Company's
Internet segment. The increased costs in the Internet segment are primarily due
to the acquisitions of 1stUp.com, Activate.net, AdForce, AdKnowledge, Flycast,
AltaVista, Signatures Network, 1ClickCharge, Activerse, I/PRO and 2CAN, and the
continued growth of sales and marketing efforts at various other CMGI

reflecting the impact of the acquisition of AltaVista, including the impact of
AltaVista advertising costs in support of the launch of its new media and
commerce network; the impact of the Company's other Internet acquisitions; and
the expansion of sales and marketing efforts related to product launches and
infrastructure. As the Company's subsidiaries continue to introduce new products
and expand sales, the Company expects to incur significant promotional expenses,
as well as expenses related to the hiring of additional sales and marketing
personnel and increased advertising expenses, and anticipates that these costs
will substantially increase in future periods.

     General and administrative expenses increased $52,176,000, or 325%, to
$68,225,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2000 from $16,049,000 for the

of management infrastructures in several of the Company's other Internet segment
subsidiaries. General and administrative expenses in the fulfillment services

administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased to 25% for the
six months ended January 31, 2000 from 21% for the corresponding period in
fiscal 1999. The Company anticipates that its general and administrative
expenses will continue to increase significantly as the Company adds newly
acquired subsidiaries and as existing subsidiaries continue to grow and expand
their administrative staffs and infrastructures.

     Amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation increased
$420,733,000, or 13,412%, to $423,870,000 for the six months ended January 31,

recorded as a result of the application of purchase accounting to the Company's
acquisitions. The Company anticipates that its amortization of intangibles and
stock-based compensation expense will continue to increase significantly as the
Company and its subsidiaries continue to acquire new companies in the future.

     Gain on issuance of stock by subsidiaries and affiliates for the six months
ended January 31, 2000 reflects the Company's first quarter pre-tax gain of
$46,432,000 on the issuances of stock by NaviSite in its initial public offering

included a $28,514,000 gain on stock issuances by GeoCities and a $20,253,000
gain on issuance of stock by Lycos. Gain on stock issuances by GeoCities in

initial public offering in August 1998 and the issuance of stock by GeoCities in
its acquisition of Starseed, Inc. (known as WebRing) in December 1998. The
fiscal 1999 gain on stock issuance by Lycos resulted primarily from the issuance

NaviSite.

     Interest income increased $15,213,000 to $16,520,000 for the six months
ended January 31, 2000 from $1,307,000 for the comparable period in fiscal 1999,
reflecting increased income associated with higher average corporate cash
equivalent balances compared with the prior year and interest earned by Engage
and NaviSite on cash raised from their initial public offerings. Interest
expense increased $11,297,000 to $13,530,000 for the six months ended January
31, 2000 from $2,233,000 in corresponding period in fiscal 1999, primarily due
to the notes issued as part of the AltaVista acquisition and higher corporate

ownership in certain investments that are accounted for under the equity method
of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company's

     Income tax benefit for the six months ended January 31, 2000 was
$64,535,000. Exclusive of taxes provided for significant, unusual or

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Working capital at January 31, 2000 increased to $2.1 billion compared to
$1.4 billion at July 31, 1999. Approximately $412 million of the net increase in
working capital is attributable to cash and cash equivalents. The Company's
principal sources of capital during the first six months of fiscal 2000 were
from the sales of Yahoo! Inc. common stock, net proceeds from the issuances of
common stock, primarily by NaviSite in its initial public offering and net cash
acquired through acquisitions of subsidiaries. The Company's principal uses of
capital during the first six months of fiscal 2000 were $292 million for funding
of operations, primarily those of start-up activities in the Company's Internet
segment and $76 million for purchases of property and equipment.

     On October 22, 1999, NaviSite commenced its initial public offering at $14
per share, raising $69.6 million, net of issuance and other costs. In November
1999, NaviSite raised an additional $10.8 million pursuant to the exercise of
the underwriters' over-allotment option. CMGI currently owns approximately 19.6
million shares of NaviSite common stock. During the first six months of fiscal
year 2000 the Company sold 3,155,000 shares of Yahoo! common stock and received
total proceeds of approximately $675 million. Also during the first six months
of fiscal 2000 the Company sold 260,000 shares of Open Market, Inc. common stock

     In August 1999, CMGI completed its acquisition of 81.5% of AltaVista for
37,989,950 CMGI common shares valued at approximately $1.8 billion, 18,090.45
shares of the Company's Series D preferred stock, which were converted into
approximately 3,618,090 million shares of CMGI common stock in October 1999
valued at approximately $173 million, three-year notes totaling $220 million and
the exchange of CMGI and subsidiary stock options for AltaVista stock options.
The AltaVista acquisition included the assets and liabilities constituting the
AltaVista Internet search service and also included former Compaq subsidiaries
Zip2 Corporation and Shopping.com. The shares issued by the Company in
connection with the AltaVista acquisition are not registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 and are subject to restrictions on transferability for a
period of one year from the date of issuance. The total purchase price for
AltaVista was valued at approximately $2.4 billion, including costs of
acquisition of $4 million. The notes issued in conjunction with the acquisition
payable are due August 18, 2002. Interest on the notes, at a rate of 10.5% per
annum, is due and payable semiannually on each February 18 and August 18 until
the notes are paid in full. Principal and interest due on these notes are
payable, at the option of CMGI, in cash, marketable securities (as defined in
the notes) or any combination thereof.

     In January 2000, CMGI completed its acquisition of AdForce, a leading
online provider of centralized, outsourced ad management and delivery services.
The total purchase price for AdForce was valued at approximately $545 million,
consisting of approximately 11,270,209 shares of CMGI common stock valued at
approximately $473 million, options and warrants to purchase CMGI common shares
valued at approximately $70.9 million, and direct acquisition costs of
approximately $1.1 million.

     In January 2000, CMGI completed its acquisition of Flycast, a leading
provider of web-based direct response advertising solutions. The total purchase
price for Flycast was valued at approximately $904.4 million consisting of
approximately 14,594,916 shares of CMGI common stock valued at approximately
$715.7 million, options and warrants to purchase CMGI common stock valued at
approximately $168.2 million, and direct acquisition costs of approximately
$20.5 million.

     On January 20, 2000, Engage, a majority-owned operating company of CMGI,
announced a definitive agreement to acquire Flycast and Adsmart from CMGI.
Engage will acquire Flycast and Adsmart from CMGI through the issuance of
approximately 65 million shares of Engage common stock, (as adjusted to reflect
the Engage two-for-one stock split payable April 3, 2000.) The Company expects
this transaction to be completed in late April or early May 2000.

     During the first six months of fiscal year 2000, the Company also completed
its acquisitions of 1ClickCharge, iAtlas, Inc. Signatures SNI, Inc., 1stUp.com,
Clara Vista, Activate.net, AdKnowledge, Tribal Voice, Equilibrium, GreenWitch
and the remaining 33% minority interest in Netwright not already owned by CMGI,
for combined consideration of approximately $412 million and commitments to fund
a total of approximately $113 million in operating capital. Combined
consideration for these additional acquisitions included CMGI and subsidiaries
common stock, convertible notes, options and warrants to purchase common stock
of CMGI and subsidiaries, notes which are payable in CMGI common stock, and
cash. In the first step of the AdKnowledge transaction, CMGI acquired an 88%
equity stake in AdKnowledge. The second step of the AdKnowledge transaction, the
contribution of AdKnowledge shares held by AdKnowledge shareholders, including
CMGI, to Engage in exchange for approximately 10.3 million shares of Engage
common stock (as adjusted to reflect the Engage two-for-one stock split payable
April 3, 2000) closed on December 22, 1999. Upon completion of the transaction,
CMGI received approximately 9.8 million shares of Engage (as adjusted to reflect
the Engage two-for-one stock split payable April 3, 2000), and AdKnowledge
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Engage.

     During the first six months of fiscal year 2000, the Company, through its
limited liability company subsidiaries, CMG@Ventures III, LLC, CMGI@Ventures IV,
LLC, CMGI@Ventures B2B Fund, LLC and CMGI@Ventures Technology Fund, LLC,
acquired initial or follow-on minority ownership interests in 28 Internet
companies for an aggregate total of approximately $58.8 million. On October 29,
1999, the Company purchased 250,000 shares of Akamai Technologies common stock
at a cost of $26 per share. On November 29, 1999, the Company and Pacific
Century CyberWorks Limited ("PCCW"), a company listed on the Stock Exchange of
Hong Kong, completed their previously agreed to exchange of stock. The Company
received approximately 448.3 million shares of PCCW stock in exchange for
approximately 8.2 million shares of the Company's common stock.

     During the Company's second fiscal quarter, CMGI announced the launch of
the CMGI @Ventures B2B Fund, a new venture fund to be focused exclusively on
business-to-business Internet venture capital investments. During the quarter,
CMGI also announced the launch of the CMGI @Ventures Technology Fund, which will
exclusively focus on investing in and supporting Internet enabling technologies
and infrastructure companies that are synergistic with the CMGI and CMGI
@Ventures network. Each fund is expected to reach up to $1 billion in capital
and will have CMGI as its sole limited investor. On March 1, 2000, the Company
along with Hicks, Muse, Tate, & Furst Incorporated, (HMTF), and PCCW,
announced the formation of another new venture capital partnership, @Ventures
Global Partners. Under the terms of the partnership, the parties have each
committed to invest up to $500 million, for a total of up to $1.5 billion, to
support the development of Internet companies based in Asia, Europe, and the
Americas. The Company expects to raise capital for the new funds through the
sale of marketable securities, the issuance and sale of Company securities,
borrowings or otherwise from outside sources, or a combination of the foregoing.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient
funds for the CMGI @Ventures B2B Fund, the CMGI @Ventures Technology Fund or the
@Ventures Global Partners fund, or that CMGI will be able to raise such funds on
terms that are favorable to the Company.

     During the second quarter, on December 17, 1999, AltaVista filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement for the initial
public offering of shares of its common stock. MotherNature.com (Nasdaq: MTHR)
commenced its IPO on December 9, 1999. (CMG@Ventures II, LLC currently holds 1.2
million shares of MotherNature.com common stock.) Also in the quarter, Vicinity
Corporation (Nasdaq: VCNT) filed its initial registration statement for its
initial public offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November
3, 1999 and commenced its IPO on February 8, 2000. (CMG@Ventures I and II, LLC
collectively hold 5.8 million shares of Vicinity common stock.) On November 4,
1999, Tickets.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: TIXX) commenced its IPO. (CMG@Ventures II, LLC
currently holds approximately 800,000 shares of Tickets.com common stock.) Also
in the quarter, Furniture.com filed its initial registration statement for its
initial public offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January
27, 2000. (CMG @Ventures III, LLC holds approximately 3% of Furniture.com's
outstanding capital stock.) On March 8, 2000, NaviSite announced that its board
of directors has approved a follow-on offering of securities to raise
approximately $400 - $600 million, subject to market conditions.

     On February 9, 2000, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire
uBid.com, a leading business to consumer e-commerce auction site for
consideration preliminarily valued at $380 million, consisting of CMGI common
stock, options to purchase CMGI common stock and estimated additional
acquisition costs. Under the terms of the merger agreement, CMGI will issue
 .2628 CMGI shares for every share of uBid.com held on the closing date of the
transaction. Closing of the transaction, expected in May 2000, is subject to
regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, including formal approval
by uBid.com shareholders.

     On February 14, 2000, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire
an approximate 94.1% equity stake in Tallan, Inc., a provider of Internet and e-
commerce professional services to Fortune 1000 and dot.com companies for
consideration preliminarily valued at approximately $920 million. Under the
terms of the agreement, the purchase price will consist of approximately $20
million in cash, approximately $300 million in notes payable maturing twenty
days from closing, approximately $395 million in notes payable bearing interest
at 6.5%, maturing six to nine months after closing and payable in cash or CMGI
stock at the option of CMGI, and options to purchase CMGI common stock valued at
approximately $200 million. Additionally, the Company currently estimates
additional acquisition costs of approximately $5 million. Closing of the
transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions,
and is expected to be completed in May 2000.

     On February 29, 2000, the Company announced an agreement with Cable &
Wireless plc to issue $500 million in shares of CMGI stock in exchange for $500
million in shares of PCCW, which Cable & Wireless plc will receive upon the
completion of Cable &Wireless plc's sale of their Cable & Wireless HKT
subsidiary to PCCW.

     On March 10, 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of yesmail.com, a
leading outsourcer of permission email marketing technologies and services for
consideration preliminarily valued at $671 million, consisting of CMGI common
stock, options to purchase CMGI common stock and estimated additional
acquisition costs. The Company issued .2504 shares of CMGI for every share of
yesmail.com outstanding on the closing date.

     The Company intends to continue to fund existing and future Internet
efforts, acquire additional companies for cash, stock, or other consideration
and to actively seek new CMG@Ventures investment opportunities. Similar to
CMGI's current Internet subsidiaries, future Internet company acquisitions will
likely be in early stages of business development and therefore are expected to
require additional cash funding by the Company to fund their operations. The
Company believes that existing working capital and the availability of
available-for-sale securities which could be sold or posted as additional
collateral for additional loans, will be sufficient to fund its operations,
investments and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. Additionally,
the Company may also choose to raise additional capital through private
placements. Should additional capital be needed to fund future investment and
acquisition activity, the Company may seek to raise additional capital through
public or private offerings of the Company's or its subsidiaries' stock, or
through debt financing. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company
will be able to raise additional capital on terms that are favorable to the
Company.

 Year 2000 Compliance
 --------------------

     The Company and its subsidiaries have not experienced any material problems
with network infrastructure, software, hardware and computer systems relating to
the inability to recognize appropriate dates related to the year 2000. The
Company and its subsidiaries are also not aware of any material Year 2000
problems with customers, suppliers or vendors. Accordingly, the Company and its
subsidiaries do not anticipate incurring material expenses or experiencing any
material operational disruptions as a result of any Year 2000 issues.

                   PART I: FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
          ----------------------------------------------------------

     The Company is exposed to equity price risks on the marketable portion of
its equity securities. The Company's available-for-sale securities at January
31, 2000 include strategic equity positions in the Internet industry sector,
including Lycos, Inc., Critical Path, Ventro, Amazon.com, Inc., Open Market,
Inc., Yahoo! Inc., Silknet Software, Inc., Hollywood Entertainment, and Akamai
Technologies, Inc. many of which have experienced significant historical
volatility in their stock prices. The Company typically does not attempt to
reduce or eliminate its market exposure on these securities. A 20% adverse
change in equity prices, based on a sensitivity analysis of the equity component
of the Company's available-for-sale securities portfolio as of January 31, 2000,
would result in an approximate $459 million decrease in the fair value of the
Company's available-for-sale securities.

     The carrying values of financial instruments including cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable,
approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The
carrying value of long-term debt approximates its fair value, as estimated by
using discounted future cash flows based on the Company's current incremental
borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

     The Company uses derivative financial instruments primarily to reduce
exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates on its borrowing
arrangements. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments
for trading purposes. As a matter of policy all derivative positions are used to
reduce risk by hedging underlying economic exposure. The derivatives the Company
uses are straightforward instruments with liquid markets. At January 31, 2000,
the Company was primarily exposed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)
interest rate on its outstanding borrowing arrangements.

     The Company has historically had very low exposure to changes in foreign
currency exchange rates, and as such, has not used derivative financial
instruments to manage foreign currency fluctuation risk. As the Company expands
globally, the risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation may
dramatically increase. Therefore, in the future, the Company may consider
utilizing derivative instruments to mitigate such risks.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
        -----------------

     On March 16, 2000, a derivative action was filed in the Court of Chancery
of the State of Delaware against CMGI, Edward A. Bennett, Christopher A. Evans,
Craig D. Goldman, Andrew J. Hajducky III, Frederic D. Rosen, Paul L. Schaut,
David S. Wetherell and Engage Technologies Inc. The complaint alleges that, in
connection with the sale by CMGI of Flycast Communications Corporation and
Adsmart Corporation to Engage, CMGI and the individual defendants have violated
their fiduciary duties of loyalty and good faith. CMGI believes that the
complaint is without merit and intends to contest the claims vigorously.

                              AMENDED AND RESTATED

                          AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

     This Amendment No. 1 made this 10th day of January, 2000 (the "Amendment"),
by and among CMGI, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Buyer"), Artichoke Corp.,
a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Buyer (the
"Transitory Subsidiary") and AdForce, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as
of September 20, 1999, by and among the Buyer, the Transitory Subsidiary and the
Company (the "Agreement").  Except as set forth below, the Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect.  Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

     WHEREAS, the Agreement currently provides that the Buyer, the Transitory
Subsidiary and the Company (collectively, the "Parties") (i) shall each use its
reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to be treated as a reorganization within
the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and (ii) adopt the Agreement as a plan
of reorganization; and

     WHEREAS, the Parties acting in accordance with Section 8.4 of the Agreement
desire to amend the Agreement to further provide that the Parties contemplate,
as part of such plan of reorganization, merging the Company after the Effective
Time into a limited liability company that is wholly owned by the Buyer;

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

     1.  Section 6.8 of the Agreement shall be amended by adding the following
sentence after the first sentence of Section 6.8:  "The parties hereto
contemplate that, as part of one overall plan, after the Effective Time, the
Company will merge with and into a limited liability company that is wholly
owned by the Buyer and is disregarded as an entity separate from the Buyer for
federal tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-
3(b)(1)(ii)."

     2.  The Agreement, as supplemented and modified by this Amendment, together
with the other writings referred to in the Agreement or delivered pursuant
thereto which form a part thereof, contain the entire agreement among the
Parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and amend, restate and
supersede all prior and contemporaneous arrangements or understandings with
respect thereto.

     3.  Upon execution of this Amendment by the Parties, on and after the date
hereof, each reference in the Agreement to "this Agreement," "hereunder,"
"hereof,"
<PAGE>

"herein" or words of like import, and each reference in the other documents
entered into in connection with the Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to
the Agreement, as amended hereby. Except as specifically amended above, the
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and
confirmed.

     4.  This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice
or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any
other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any
jurisdictions other than those of the State of Delaware.

     5.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each
such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such
counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement.

     6.  This Amendment shall be binding on all parties to the Agreement as and
when executed by the Buyer, the Transitory Subsidiary and the Company.
