closing bid price of the common stock of Yahoo! Inc. listed on Nasdaq for the 20
trading days commencing on the first day that the Issuer can sell the Yahoo
Shares free of the Issuer's "lock-up" agreement with Yahoo! Inc. is $110 or

Stock and 115,527 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at no additional cost to
Rosemary Street.

     Other than the rights described above, none of the Reporting Persons has

     (b) The Reporting Persons and the directors of the Issuer designated by the
Reporting Persons may cause the Issuer to pursue a business objective of

business combination.

     (c) The Reporting Persons and the directors of the Issuer designated by the
Reporting Persons may cause the Issuer to engage in a private offering of its
securities for the purpose of raising additional working capital.

     (d) In connection with the purchase by Rosemary Street of the shares of
Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Warrants and Option reported on in this
Amendment as owned by it, Rosemary Street, C. Cooney and J. Cooney entered into
an Securities Purchase Agreement, dated May 3, 2000, with the Issuer pursuant to
which three individuals serving as its directors resigned, the Issuer's board of
directors was increased from seven members to nine members, and five individuals
were appointed to fill the vacancies created by the resignations and the
expansion of the board. C. Cooney and J. Cooney were among the five individuals
that were appointed to fill the vacancies on the Issuer's board. In addition, on
the same date, Rosemary Street, C. Cooney and J. Cooney entered into a voting
agreement with the Issuer, Ellen Dinerman Little, Robert B. Little (together
with Ellen Little, referred to as the "Littles") and MRCo., Inc. The voting
agreement provides that: (i) so long as Robert Little is employed as President
of the Issuer or the Littles own no less than 5% of the Issuer's issued and
outstanding voting securities, Rosemary Street will nominate and vote for Mr.
Little to serve as a member of the Issuer's board of directors; (ii) so long as
C. Cooney and J. Cooney own, in the aggregate, directly or indirectly, no less
than 5% of the Issuer's issued and outstanding voting securities, the Littles
and other members of Rosemary Street will vote for C. Cooney and J. Cooney to
serve as members of the Issuer's board of directors; and (iii) so long as MRCo.

further provides that if the size of the Issuer's board of directors is
increased from nine members to eleven members prior to June 20, 2002, Rosemary
Street has the right to nominate for election or appoint as directors the two
persons to fill the vacancies created by the increase. The Littles have agreed
to vote all of their voting securities of the Issuer for the election of
Rosemary Street's two nominees in this situation.

     Except as discussed above, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or
proposals to effect any material change in the present capitalization or
dividend policy of the Issuer, cause any other material change in the Issuer's
business or corporate structure, cause any changes in the Issuer's charter or
