Subsidiary,  or  any  of  the  CMGI  Properties.

          (e)     The  CMGI  Properties are not subject to any, and neither CMGI

Properties  that  pose a risk to the environment or the health and safety of any
Person,  or  would  require  any  remedial  action.

by  CMGI  or a CMGI Subsidiary.  There are no settlements, forebearances to sue,

actions  to  protect each item of material Intellectual Property owned by any of

of  any agreement relating to any Intellectual Property material to its business
or  operations,  except  for such violations as have not resulted, and could not
reasonably  be  expected  to  result,  in  a  CMGI Material Adverse Effect.  The
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in the loss

Adverse  Effect.

             ------------------------------------
the  AV  Business  has  been  carried  on  only in the ordinary and usual course
consistent  with  past  practice  and  (ii)  there  has  not occurred any event,
development  or  change which, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in
or  is  reasonably  likely  to  result  in  an  AV  Material  Adverse  Effect.

     3.8     Litigation  .  There  is no Litigation pending, or to the Knowledge
             ----------
of Compaq, Digital or AV, threatened, against or involving AV, any AV Subsidiary

Liability  (as  defined  in  the  Assignment  Agreement).

             ---------------------
has  been, in compliance, with respect to AV Business, with all applicable Laws,

notice  or  other  communication  (whether  written  or  oral)  from  any Person
regarding  any actual, alleged, possible or potential violation of or failure to
comply  with  any Law with respect to the AV Business, except in connection with
Retained Liabilities (as defined in the Assignment Agreement) and for violations
which  do  not, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in

              ----------------------

been  and  are  in  compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; (ii) have
obtained  all  Permits  required  for  the  operation of their businesses by any
applicable Environmental Law (collectively "Environmental Permits") and all such
Environmental  Permits  are  in  full  force and effect, no appeal nor any other
action  is  pending  to  revoke  any such Environmental Permit; and (iii) are in
compliance  with  all  such  Environmental  Permits,  and have filed in a timely
manner  all  applications  to  renew such Environmental Permits or to obtain new
Environmental  Permits  to  the extent such applications are currently required.

          (b)     There has been no Release of any Hazardous Material that would
reasonably  be likely to form the basis of any Environmental Claim against AV or
any  AV Subsidiary at the properties owned or leased by AV, any AV Subsidiary or
the  AV Business (the "AV Properties").  AV Properties are not, to the Knowledge
of  CDAS  adversely affected by any Release or threatened Release of a Hazardous
Material  originating  or  emanating  from  any  other  property.  There were no
Releases  of Hazardous Materials on properties formerly owned or operated by AV,
any  AV  Subsidiary  or the AV Business, or any predecessors thereof, during the
period of such operation or ownership, that would reasonably be likely to result
in  an  Environmental  Claim  against  AV  or  any  AV  Subsidiary.

          (c)     Neither  AV,  any  AV  Subsidiary  nor  AV  Business  has
manufactured,  used,  generated,  stored,  treated,  transported,  disposed  of,

Properties.

          (d)     Neither  AV,  any  AV  Subsidiary nor AV Business: (i) has any
liability for response or corrective action for natural resources damage, or any
other  harm  pursuant  to  any  Environmental  Law,  (ii)  is subject to, or has
Knowledge  of, any Environmental Claim involving AV or any AV Business, or (iii)
has  any  Knowledge  of  any condition or occurrence at any of the AV Properties
which  could  form  the  basis  of  an  Environmental  Claim  against AV, any AV

(a)  provide  the  services  currently  provided,  and  currently  planned to be
provided, by the AV Business, AV and its Subsidiaries to third parties; (b) use,
manufacture,  copy,  modify,  market  and distribute the products currently, and
currently  planned  to  be,  manufactured, marketed, sold, licensed or otherwise
distributed  by the AV Business, AV and its Subsidiaries; and (c) to operate the
internal  systems  of the AV Business, AV and its Subsidiaries that are material
to  the  business  or  operations  of  the AV Business, AV and its Subsidiaries,
including  without  limitation,  computer  hardware  systems  and  software
applications. Except for third party licenses that are not assignable, each item
of  such  Intellectual  Property  will  be  owned  or available for use by Newco
immediately  following  the  Closing  on  substantially  identical  terms  and
conditions  as  it  was  available  to  the AV Business immediately prior to the
Closing,  except  where  the failure to own or have available for use such item,
individually  or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in
an  AV  Material  Adverse Effect.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Intellectual
Property"  shall  mean  any and all of the following: trademarks, service marks,
trade  names,  Internet  domain  names,  designs,  logos,  slogans,  and general
intangibles  of  like  nature,  together  with  all  goodwill, registrations and
applications  related  to  the  foregoing;  patents  and  patent  applications
(including  any  continua-tions,  divisions,  continuations-in-part,  renewals,
reissues,  and  applications  for  any  of  the  foregoing),  industrial  design
registrations  and  applications  (including  any  renewals thereof); copyrights
(including  any  registrations  and  applications  therefor  );  software; data;

algorithms,  models  and  methodologies;  and  other  property  of  like nature.

          (b)     To  the  Knowledge  of CDAS, the activities and the conduct of
the AV Business do not infringe upon, violate or constitute the unauthorized use
of  the  intellectual  property rights of any third party.   There is no pending
or,  to  the  Knowledge of CDAS, threatened (in writing) Claim before any court,
agency,  arbitral  tribunal,  or  registration authority in any jurisdiction (i)
involving  any  item of Intellectual Property owned or used by CDAS with respect
to  the  AV Business, (ii) alleging that the activities or the conduct of the AV
Business  does or will infringe upon, violate or constitute the unauthorized use
of the intellectual  property rights of any third party or (iii) challenging the
ownership,  use,  validity, enforceability or registrability of any Intellectual
Property by CDAS with respect to the AV Business, except for such Claims as have
not  resulted and could not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in
the  aggregate,  in  an  AV  Material Adverse Effect.  There are no settlements,
forebearances  to  sue,  consents,  judgments,  or orders or similar obligations
(other  than  license  agreements  in the ordinary course of business) which (a)
restrict  the  rights  of  CDAS  to  use any material Intellectual Property with
respect to the AV Business, (b) restrict the AV Business in order to accommodate
a  third party's intellectual property rights or (c) permit third parties to use
any  material  Intellectual  Property  owned  by  CDAS  with  respect  to the AV
Business.

          (c)     To  the  Knowledge  of  CDAS,  no  third  party  is  making
unauthorized  use  of  or  infringing  in any material respect upon any material
Intellectual  Property  owned  by  CDAS  with  respect  to  the  AV  Business.

          (d)     CDAS  have  taken  commercially  reasonable actions to protect
each item of material Intellectual Property owned by any of them with respect to
the  AV Business, except where the failure to take such actions has not resulted
and  could  not  reasonably  be  expected  to  result,  individually  or  in the
aggregate,  in  an  AV  Material  Adverse  Effect.

          (e)     None  of CDAS is in violation of any agreement relating to any
Intellectual  Property  with  respect  to  the  AV  Business,  except  for  such
violations as have not resulted, and could not reasonably be expected to result,
individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  in  an  AV  Material Adverse Effect.  The
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in the loss
or  impairment  of  the  rights  of  any  of  CDAS  to  own,  use or enforce any
Intellectual  Property used in its business or operations with respect to the AV
Business,  except where such loss or impairment could not reasonably be expected
to  result,  individually or in the aggregate, in an AV Material Adverse Effect.

          (f)     To  the  Knowledge  of  CDAS,  none  of CDAS has disclosed the
source  code  for  any  of  the software owned by any of CDAS and used in the AV
Business  (the  "Software")  or  other  confidential  information  constituting,
embodied  in  or  pertaining  to  the  Software  to any person or entity, except
pursuant  to  nondisclosure  agreements,  and  CDAS  have  taken  reasonable
commercially  reasonable  measures  to  prevent  disclosure of such source code.

benefits  or  any acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any benefits

              ------------------------------
has  received  the  opinions  of  Greenhill  & Co., LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated,  Compaq's  financial advisor, substantially to the effect that the
consideration  to  be  paid  by  CDAS for the shares which Digital is to receive
pursuant  to  this  Agreement  is fair to Compaq from a financial point of view.

unitary  or  similar  Tax  Returns,  other than the Compaq Group (an "Affiliated

law  to  withhold  or  collect  have been duly withheld or collected and, to the
extent required, have been paid to the proper taxing authority, except where the
failure  to  withhold  or collect could not reasonably be expected to have an AV
Material  Adverse  Effect.

examination  or audit of any Tax Return of the Companies or any Affiliated Group
with  respect to an Affiliated Period by any Governmental Entity is currently in
progress or, to the Knowledge of the Companies and the members of any Affiliated
Group, threatened or contemplated.  None of the Companies nor the members of any
Affiliated  Group  has  been  informed by any jurisdiction that the jurisdiction
believes  that any of the Companies or the Affiliated Group was required to file
any  Tax  Return  that  was  not  filed.

          (c)     None  of  the Companies or any Affiliated Group has waived any

for any Taxes of any person (other than the Companies) under Treasury Regulation
Section  1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of federal, state, local, or foreign
law),  or  as  a  transferee  or  successor,  by  contract,  or  otherwise.

accounting  resulting in an adjustment to its taxable income pursuant to Section
481(h)  of  the  Code.

          (h)     None  of the Companies is or has been required to make a basis
reduction  pursuant  to  Treasury  Regulation  Section  1.1502-20(b) or Treasury
Regulation  Section  1.337(d)-2(b).

          (i)     None  of Compaq, Digital or the Companies knows of any fact or
has  taken  any  action  that  could  reasonably  be  expected  to  prevent  the
contributions  referenced  in  Section  1.2  from  constituting  a  transaction
described  in  Section  351  of  the  Code.

shareholders  with  respect  to  the  Conversion  will  not  contain  any untrue
statement  of  a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated  therein  or  necessary  in  order  to  make  the  statements made in the
information  to  be  provided by Compaq, in the light of the circumstances under
which  they  were  made,  not  misleading.

     3.18     Undisclosed  Liabilities  .  None  of CDAS, with respect to the AV
              ------------------------
Business,  has  any  liability  (whether absolute or contingent), except for (a)

(the  "Most  Recent Balance Sheet"), (b) liabilities which have arisen since the
date  of  the  Most Recent Balance Sheet in the ordinary course of business, (c)

which  are  not  required  by  GAAP  to  be  reflected  on  a balance sheet, (d)
liabilities  of  SDC  and  ZIP2, (e) compensation expense in connection with the
issuance  of Options and (f) liabilities which would not reasonably be expected,
individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  to  have  an  AV Material Adverse Effect.

              ------

presently  conducted.  Each  such  tangible  asset which is personal property is
free  from  material  defects,  has  been  maintained  in accordance with normal
industry  practice, is in good operating condition and repair (subject to normal
wear  and tear) and is suitable for the purposes for which it is presently used,
other  than  defects  and  failures  which  would  not,  individually  or in the
aggregate,  have  an AV Material Adverse Effect.  Except as would reasonably not
be  expected  to  have  an AV Material Adverse Effect, no material asset of CDAS
with  respect  to  the  AV  Business  is  subject  to  any  Lien.

     3.20     Owned  Real  Property  .  Section  3.20  of  the Compaq Disclosure

for  easements,  covenants and other restrictions which do not materially impair
the  uses  and  occupancy  of  such parcel, and a lease to a portion of property

                                   ARTICLE IX

     9.1     Preparation  and  Filing  of  Tax  Returns  .
             ------------------------------------------

          (a)     Compaq shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and timely file
or  cause  to  be  timely filed (taking into account extensions) all Tax Returns
with  respect  to  any  Pre-Closing  Period  that  includes any of the Companies
(including all Tax Returns filed on a consolidated, combined, or unitary basis).
Compaq shall have sole discretion as to the positions in and with respect to any
Tax Return described in the preceding sentence; provided, however, that such Tax
Returns  shall  be  prepared  on  a  basis consistent with the past practices of
Compaq,  Digital,  and  the  Companies, unless in the opinion of CMGI's counsel,
reasonably  satisfactory to Compaq, any position taken on such Tax Returns would
be  likely  to  subject any of the Companies to penalties.  Compaq shall deliver
(or  cause  to  be delivered) to CMGI a pro forma set of Tax Returns for each of
the Pre-Closing Periods ending on the Closing Date at least twenty business days
prior  to  the  Due  Date  thereof.

          (b)     CMGI  shall  prepare (or cause to be prepared) and timely file
or  cause  to  be  filed (taking into account extensions) all Tax Returns of the
Companies  relating  to  any  Post-Closing  Period.

          (c)     CMGI  shall  prepare (or cause to be prepared) and timely file
or  cause  to  be  filed (taking into account extensions) all Tax Returns of the
Companies  with  respect to any Straddle Period.  Any Straddle Period Tax Return
shall  be  prepared  on  a  basis  consistent with the last previous similar Tax
Return.  CMGI  shall  cause  the Companies to provide Compaq with a copy of each
such  proposed  Tax  Return  (and such additional information regarding such Tax
Return  as  may reasonably be requested by Compaq) at least 25 days prior to the
filing  of such Tax Return, except that (i) in the case of a Tax Return relating
to  a  monthly  taxable  period, the copy shall be provided to Compaq at least 5
days prior to the filing of such Tax Return and (ii) in the case of a Tax Return
due  within  90  days  following the Closing Date, the copy shall be provided to
Compaq  in  such shorter period of time prior to filing as CMGI shall reasonably
determine  to be practicable.  CMGI shall permit Compaq to review and comment on
each such Tax Returns and to recommend any changes, modifications, additions, or
deletions  to  the extent they relate to a Pre-Closing Straddle Period, provided
that  such  changes,  modifications, additions, or deletions are consistent with
past  practice  and  that  such  reporting,  in  the  opinion of CMGI's counsel,
reasonably  satisfactory  to  Compaq,  would not be likely to subject any of the
Companies  to  penalties;  and  provided,  further,  that  Compaq's comments are
received  by  CMGI  at  least  five  business  days prior to the Due Date of the
applicable  Tax  Return.  If  any dispute has not been resolved prior to the Due
Date  for  filing of the Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as originally
proposed  by  CMGI,  reflecting any items agreed to by the parties at such time.
Compaq  shall  cause  to  be  paid  to  CMGI the amount of Taxes relating to any
Pre-Closing  Straddle  Period  based  on  the  Tax  Returns  filed.

appropriate  Tax Authority all Taxes due with respect to Tax Returns which it is
required  to  cause  to  be  filed pursuant to Section 9.1(a).  For all Taxes in
respect  of Straddle Periods for which CMGI is required to cause to be filed the
applicable  Tax  Returns  pursuant  to Section 9.1(c), Compaq shall pay CMGI the
amount  of such Taxes relating to any Pre-Closing Straddle Period (as determined
in  accordance with Section 9.4(b)) at least five business days prior to the Due
Date  of  the  Tax  Return  reporting  such  Taxes.

          (b)  CMGI shall cause to be paid in a timely manner to the appropriate
Tax  Authority  all  Taxes due in respect of any Tax for which it is required to
cause  to  be  filed  a  Tax  Return  pursuant  to  Sections  9.1(b) and 9.1(c).

or  similar  provisions  under  state,  local  or foreign law), as transferee or
successor  or  pursuant to any contractual obligation for any Pre-Closing Period
or  any  Pre-Closing  Straddle  Period.

The amounts specified in paragraphs (i) and (ii) shall be reduced (but not below
zero)  by the amount of any estimated Tax payments made on or before the Closing

respect  of,  and  hold Compaq harmless on an after-Tax basis, against (x) Taxes
resulting  from,  relating  to,  or  constituting a breach of any representation
contained  in  Section  2.16  hereof, (y) the failure to perform any covenant or
agreement  set  forth  in  this  Article  IX,  and (z) any and all Taxes due and
payable  by  the  Companies for any Post-Closing Period or Post-Closing Straddle

contemplated  hereby  shall  be  shared  equally  by  CMGI  and  Compaq.

          (d)     Limitation  on  Indemnification.  Notwithstanding  anything to
the  contrary  in  this  Agreement,  (i) Compaq's indemnification obligation for
Taxes  resulting  from,  relating  to  or  constituting  a  breach  of,  the
representation  contained  in  Section  3.16(e)  hereof,  shall  not exceed $110
million  plus  interest  thereon  (compounded semi-annually at an annual rate of
10.5%)  from  the  Closing  through the date payment is made to CMGI pursuant to
this Section 9.3, and (ii) the representation contained in Section 3.16(e) shall
survive  indefinitely.

     9.4     Allocation  of  Certain  Taxes  .
             ------------------------------

          (a)     CMGI  and  Compaq  agree  that  if  any  of  the  Companies is
permitted  but not required under applicable foreign, state or local Tax laws to
treat  the  Closing  Date  as  the last day of a taxable period, CMGI and Compaq
shall  treat  such  day  as  the  last  day  of  a  taxable  period.

          (b)     Any  Taxes for a Straddle Period with respect to the Companies
shall be apportioned for purposes of Article IX between the Pre-Closing Straddle
Period  and  the Post-Closing Straddle Period on the basis of an interim closing

limitation  provision  of  powers  of  attorney  for  the purpose of signing Tax
Returns  and defending audits, promptly forwarding copies of appropriate notices
and  forms or other communications received from or sent to any Taxing Authority

sixty  (60)  days  of  its  being  made.

commencing  after  the  Closing  Date that would affect any Tax Return or Tax of
Compaq  or  any  of  its  Subsidiaries or Affiliates, and CMGI agrees to make or
exercise,  or  cause to be made or exercised, any and all necessary or permitted

submission to any Tax Authority without offering the other party the opportunity

                            SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK
                            ------------------------

                        SUMMARY OF PREFERRED STOCK TERMS


Issuer:                   CMGI,  Inc.,  a  Delaware  corporation  (the
                          "Corporation")

Title:                    Series  D  Preferred  Stock  ("Preferred Shares")

Stated  Value:            $180,000,000  in  the  aggregate

Par  Value:               $.01  per  share

Number  of  Shares
Issued:                   18,090.45

Return  Rate:

     Annual rate of 11.0% of the stated value per share for the first six months
     after  issuance;  14.0%  thereafter,  increasing  by an additional 50 basis
     points for every  subsequent six month period,  to a maximum annual rate of
     16.0%.

Record  Date:

     One business day prior to the scheduled quarterly dividend payment date.

Dividends:

     Each holder of a  Preferred  Share is  entitled  to  cumulative  dividends,
     payable quarterly from the date of issuance,  at the applicable return rate
     plus any dividend paid on the common stock, through the date of conversion.
     No quarterly  dividends  will accrue or be payable for the first six months
     after issuance in the event that the conversion  occurs prior to the second
     record date. The dividends are payable at the option of the  Corporation in
     cash, marketable securities or common stock of the Corporation.

<PAGE>
Non-cash
Dividends:

     The  valuation  of  dividends  of  common  stock of the  Corporation  or of
     marketable securities shall be determined using the average closing trading
     prices for the  respective  security  for the 10 trading  days  immediately
     subsequent to the payment of such non-cash dividends.  Any shares of common
     stock or  marketable  securities  constituting  a dividend are to be freely
     tradeable.

Ranking:

     The  Preferred  Shares will rank junior to Series B  Convertible  Preferred
     Stock and Series C Convertible  Preferred Stock; senior to common stock; at
     least pari passu with any other class or series of capital stock thereafter
     created,  in each case as to  distribution  of  assets  upon  voluntary  or
     involuntary liquidation or dissolution.

Voting:

     Holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to one vote per Preferred Share on
     all matters  submitted to  stockholders  for a vote. A majority vote of the
     holders of the Preferred  Shares,  voting as a separate series, is required
     to (1)  redeem or  purchase  any  Preferred  Shares,  (2) issue any  equity
     security  senior to or on a parity  with the  Preferred  Shares  (including
     additional issuances of Preferred Shares), (3) approve any sale or transfer
     of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any subsidiary,
     or any consolidation or merger involving the Company or any subsidiary,  or
     any recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of the Company (other than
     the merger of AltaVista into Zoom Newco),  and (4) amend the charter of the
     Company to change the seniority rights,  liquidation preferences,  dividend
     and conversion rights of the Preferred Shares.

Liquidation  Preference:

     Upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation or dissolution,  the stated value
     per share plus accrued and unpaid  dividends and the ratable  distribution,
     if any, made in respect of the common stock.  Certain  events,  including a
     consolidation  or merger with the original  shareholders  retaining  50% or
     less of the  voting  power,  or a sale of all or  substantially  all of the
     assets of the Corporation, are deemed a liquidation.

<PAGE>
Mandatory Redemption:

     Seven  years  after the  initial  issuance  of the  Preferred  Shares,  the
     Corporation  must  redeem all of the  Preferred  Shares  outstanding,  at a
     redemption  price of the stated  value per share,  plus  accrued and unpaid
     dividends.

Automatic Conversion:

     In the event that the stockholders of the Corporation  shall at any meeting
     of stockholders approve, by a majority of votes cast and in accordance with
     law  and  the  rules  and  regulations   applicable  to  the  Corporation's
     securities,  the conversion of the Preferred  Shares,  the Preferred Shares
     automatically  will be converted  into an aggregate of 1,809,045  shares of
     common stock,  which is the number of shares of common stock  calculated by
     dividing the aggregate  stated value of the Preferred  Shares by a price of
     $99.50 per share of common  stock,  subject to  customary  adjustments  for
     stock splits and similar events.

Compaq,  (ii) violate any applicable law, judgment, injunction, order or decree,
or  (iii) require any notice or consent or other action by any person or entity,

Affiliates  in the reasonable opinion of Newco materially threatens the goodwill

              ---------------------------
and  its  Affiliates  (other  than  Compaq),  officers,  directors and employees
harmless from and against any and all damages, costs, or expenses resulting from
any  claim, action, or complaint brought by a third party against any indemnitee
under this Section 10.2, to the extent that such claim arises from or out of (a)
any  activities  of  Compaq  with  respect  to  the AltaVista Business after the
Effective  Date;  (b)  the  Retained  Liabilities;  (c) any misrepresentation or

              ---------------------------
pursuant  to  this  Section  10.3  (an  "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") from or against the
assertion  of any claim by a third person (a "THIRD PERSON ASSERTION") will give
prompt  notice  to  the  party  from  whom  indemnification  is  sought  (the
"INDEMNIFYING  PARTY");  provided  that  failure  to give prompt notice will not
                         --------
relieve  the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder (except to the extent
the  Indemnifying Party has suffered actual material prejudice by such failure).

<PAGE>
     10.4     Assumption  of  Defense.  Within  twenty  (20)  business  days  of
              -----------------------
receipt  of  notice  from  the  Indemnified  Party pursuant to this Section, the
Indemnifying  Party  will  have  the right, exercisable by written notice to the
Indemnified  Party,  to  assume the defense of a Third Person Assertion.  If the
Indemnifying  Party  assumes  such  defense,  the Indemnifying Party  may select
counsel,  which  counsel will be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party.

     10.5     Appointment  of Counsel.  After notice from the Indemnifying Party
              -----------------------
to  the  Indemnified  Party  of its election to assume the defense of such Third
Party  Assertion,  the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified
Party  under  this Article for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred
by  the  Indemnified  Party  in  connection  with the defense thereof other than
reasonable  costs  of  investigation,  provided, that if there may be reasonable
                                       --------
legal  defenses  available to it that are different from or in addition to those
available to the Indemnifying Party the reasonable fees, disbursements and other
charges  of  counsel  for  the  Indemnified  Party will be at the expense of the
Indemnifying  Party or parties.  It is understood that the Indemnifying Party or
parties  shall  not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in
the  same  jurisdiction,  be  liable  for the reasonable fees, disbursements and
other  charges  of  more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any
local  counsel)  at  any  one  time  for  all such Indemnified Party or parties.

     10.6     Failure  to Defend.  If the Indemnifying Party (a) does not assume
              ------------------
the defense of any Third Person Assertion in accordance with this Article 10; or
(b)  having  so  assumed such defense, unreasonably fails to defend against such
Third  Person  Assertion,  then,  upon  five  (5)  days'  written  notice to the
Indemnifying  Party,  the Indemnified Party may assume the defense of such Third
Person  Assertion.  In  such event, the Indemnified Party will be entitled under
this  Article  10  to  indemnification  for  the  costs  of  such  defense.

     10.7     Settlement.  The  party  controlling the defense of a Third Person
              ----------
Assertion  will  have the right to consent to the entry of judgment with respect
to,  or  otherwise  settle,  such  Third Person Assertion with the prior written
consent  of  the  other  party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld;
provided  that such other party may withhold its consent if any such judgment or
--------------
settlement imposes a monetary obligation on such other party that is not covered
by the indemnification, imposes any material non-monetary obligation, materially
affects  the rights of such other party in any Intellectual Property or does not
include an unconditional release of such other party and its Affiliates from all
claims  of  the  Third  Person  Assertion.

<PAGE>
     10.8     Participation.  The  Indemnifying  Party and the Indemnified Party
              -------------
will  cooperate,  and  cause  their  Affiliates  to cooperate, in the defense or
prosecution  of  any  Third  Person  Assertion.  The  Indemnifying  Party or the
Indemnified  Party,  as  the case may be, will have the right to participate, at
its  own  expense,  in  the defense or settlement of any Third Person Assertion.

11.     LIMITATIONS  OF  LIABILITY

term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver

that  term  or  any other term of this Agreement.  Any waiver must be in writing
executed  by  the  waiving  party.

     12.4     Partial Invalidity.  If any portion of the Agreement shall be held
              ------------------
to  be  illegal,  invalid  or  unenforceable  in  any  respect, such invalidity,
illegality  or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and

that  if  any notice is tendered to an addressee and delivery thereof is refused
by  such  addressee,  such  notice  shall  be  effective  upon  such  tender.

     12.6     Section  Headings.  Section  headings  used  herein  are  for
              -----------------
informational  purposes  only  and  shall not define nor limit the provisions of

assign,  subcontract or otherwise delegate its obligations hereunder without the
prior  written  consent  of  the  other  Party,  which  consent  shall  not  be
unreasonably  withheld,  except  that  either  party  may assign, subcontract or
otherwise  delegate  all  of  its  rights and obligations hereunder without such
consent  in  connection  with  the  sale  of  all  or  substantially all of such
assigning  party's  assets  related  to this Agreement, whether by merger, asset
purchase  or  otherwise.

<PAGE>
     12.8     Independent  Contractors.  Each  party agrees it is and will be an
              ------------------------
independent contractor as to the other Party and not an agent, employee, partner
or  joint  venturer of or with the other party.  Without limiting the foregoing,
no  party  nor  any  officer or employee of such will have any right to bind any
other  party,  to  make any representations or warranties on behalf of any other
party, to accept service of process, to receive notice, or to perform any act or
thing  on  behalf  of any other party other than as expressly authorized by such
other  party  in  its  sole  discretion.

each  party  hereto  agrees, without further consideration, to take such actions

     12.11     Press Releases/Statements. Except as may be required by law or by

party,  such  other  party's products or the services provided hereunder, unless
such  party  has  received  the  approval of the other party with respect to the

                          REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

          REGISTRATION  RIGHTS  AGREEMENT  dated  as  of [          ], 1999 (the
"Agreement")  by  and  among Compaq Computer Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Compaq"),  Digital  Equipment  Corporation,  a Massachusetts corporation and a
wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Compaq  ("Digital"),  CMGI,  Inc.,  a  Delaware
corporation  ("CMGI"), and Zoom Newco Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-
owned  subsidiary  of  CMGI  ("Newco").

          The  parties  have  entered into a Purchase and Contribution Agreement
dated  as  of  June  29,  1999 (the "Purchase Agreement") which provides for the
contribution  of  the  AltaVista  division  of  Digital  to  Newco.

          The  parties  desire  to  provide for certain registration rights with
respect  to  the  common  stock of CMGI held by Digital or Compaq on the Closing
Date  (as  defined  in the Purchase Agreement) and any shares of common stock of
CMGI  acquired  by  the  Compaq  Group  (as  defined herein) from CMGI after the
Closing  Date, including any shares of common stock of CMGI issued as a dividend
or  other  distribution  with  respect  to  such  shares  (including  any equity
securities  of CMGI for which such common stock is exchanged) (collectively, the
"CMGI  Registrable  Securities").

          The  parties  also  desire  to provide for certain registration rights
with  respect  to the common stock of Newco held by the Digital or Compaq on the
Closing  Date  and any shares of such common stock issued as a dividend or other
distribution  with  respect  to  such shares (including any equity securities of
Newco  for  which  such  common  stock  is  exchanged)  (the  "Newco Registrable
Securities").

          NOW  THEREFORE,  in  consideration of the foregoing and the agreements
set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency  of  which  are  hereby  acknowledged,  the parties, intending to be
legally  bound,  hereby  agree  as  follows:

Section 1.    Exercisability  of  Registration  Rights.
              ----------------------------------------

     Section 1.1   Effectiveness.  The registration rights provided for in this
                 -------------
Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof, except as set forth below.

     Section 1.2   Permitted  Transferees;  Exercise  of  Rights.
                   ---------------------------------------------

     (a)         Subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of the Purchase Agreement,  any
     Investor (as defined  below) may transfer the  registration  rights granted
     hereunder  in  respect  of all  or any  portion  of  the  CMGI  Registrable
     Securities or Newco Registrable  Securities by transferring such securities
     and, if such  transfer is not to Compaq,  Digital or an affiliate of Compaq
     or Digital,  sending a written notice of such transfer to CMGI or Newco, as
     the case may be.  Compaq,  Digital  and  their  respective  affiliates  are
     referred to herein,  collectively,  as the "Compaq Group". Compaq, Digital,
     the affiliates of Compaq or Digital which hold CMGI Registrable  Securities
     or  Newco  Registrable  Securities,  the  transferees  of CMGI  Registrable
     Securities or Newco  Registrable  Securities and the successors and assigns
     of any of the  foregoing  are  referred  to  herein,  collectively,  as the
     "Investors" and, individually, as an "Investor".

     (b)        The  written  notice  required  by  Section 1.2(a)  hereof shall
     comply with Section 9.6 hereof,  be signed by both the  transferor  and the
     transferee of the  securities  and include an executed  counterpart of this
     Agreement  pursuant  to which the  transferee:  (a) shall become a party to
     this  Agreement,  (b) shall be deemed to be an  Investor  for all  purposes
     hereunder with respect to the securities transferred to it and (c) shall be
     bound by all the provisions  hereof applicable to Investors with respect to
     the securities transferred to it.

     (c)        The  registration  rights  provided for in this  Agreement shall
     not be  exercisable  by an Investor if and to the extent that such Investor
     is  restricted  from  transferring  or  disposing  of the CMGI  Registrable
     Securities or Newco Registrable Securities, as applicable,  under a lock-up
     agreement entered into pursuant to Section 6.3(b) hereof.

     Section 1.3   Duration of Registration Rights.  As to any particular
                   -------------------------------
CMGI  Registrable  Securities  or  Newco Registrable Securities, such securities
shall  cease  to be CMGI Registrable Securities or Newco Registrable Securities,
as  applicable,  when:  (a) a registration statement with respect to the sale of
such securities shall have become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended  (the  "Securities  Act") and such securities shall have been sold under
such  registration  statement; (b) such securities shall have been sold pursuant
to  Rule 144 (or any successor provision to such Rule) under the Securities Act;
(c)  such  securities  are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k) (or any successor
provision  to  such Rule) under the Securities Act; or (d) such securities shall
have  ceased  to  be  outstanding.

Section 2.   Demand Registration of CMGI Registrable Securities.
             --------------------------------------------------

     Section 2.1   Notice and Registration.  At any time or from time to
                   -----------------------
time  on  or  after  the  thirtieth  day  preceding the first anniversary of the
Effective Time (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) upon written notice by one
or  more  Investors  requesting  that  CMGI  effect  the  registration under the
Securities  Act  of  some  or all of the CMGI Registrable Securities held by the
Investors,  which  notice  shall  specify  the  intended  method  or  methods of
disposition  of  such  CMGI Registrable Securities, CMGI will use its reasonable
best  efforts  to effect (at the earliest possible date but the effectiveness of
such  registration  shall  not  be  earlier  than  such  first  anniversary) the
registration,  under the Securities Act, of such CMGI Registrable Securities for
disposition  in  accordance  with  the intended method or methods of disposition
stated  in  such  request,  provided  that:
                            --------

     (a)      CMGI shall  not  be  required to effect a registration  under this
     Section 2.1,  prior to eighteen  (18) months after the  Effective  Time, of
     more than  fifty  percent  (50%) of the  maximum  aggregate  amount of CMGI
     Registrable Securities held at any time since the date of this Agreement by
     the Compaq Group;

     (b)      if  an  Investor  previously  has  disposed  of  CMGI  Registrable
     Securities  pursuant to a  registration  under this Section 2.1, CMGI shall
     not be required  to effect a  registration  under this  Section 2.1 until a
     period of at least 90 days shall have  elapsed from the  effective  date of
     the most recent preceding registration pursuant to this Section 2.1;

     (c)      if, upon  receipt of a  registration  request  pursuant to this
     Section 2.1, CMGI is advised by a recognized independent investment banking
     firm selected by CMGI that, in such firm's opinion,  a registration at that
     time and on the terms requested of any of the CMGI  Registrable  Securities
     proposed to be offered would adversely  affect a public offering by CMGI of
     shares of its common stock (other than in connection with employee  benefit
     and similar  plans) (an "CMGI Company  Offering")  that had been planned by
     CMGI  prior to the date of the  written  registration  request  under  this
     Section 2.1, provided that CMGI complies with Section 3 hereof with respect
     to such CMGI  Company  Offering,  CMGI  shall not be  required  to effect a
     registration  pursuant to this  Section  2.1 until the  earliest of (i) the
     later of (A) 90 days after the completion of such CMGI Company  Offering or
     (B) the termination of any "lock-up"  period required by the  underwriters,
     if any,  to be  applicable  to the  Investors  that  made the  registration
     request in connection with such CMGI Company  Offering,  (ii) five Business
     Days (as defined  below) after  abandonment  of such CMGI Company  Offering
     and, for this purpose,  such CMGI Company  Offering shall be deemed to have
     been  abandoned  if the  registration  statement  therefor  has not  become
     effective within 90 days after the date of the written registration request
     under this  Section 2.1 and (iii) four months after the date of the written
     registration  request under this Section  2.1(c);  provided that CMGI shall
     only be permitted to delay registration pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) if,
     in the aggregate,  CMGI's exercise of such rights under this Section 2.1(c)
     will not result in more than four months of delayed  registrations or sales
     by Investors within any twelve (12) month period;

     (d)     if, while a registration request is pending under this Section 2.1,
     the board of directors of CMGI determines in good faith that (i) the filing
     of a  registration  statement  would  require the  disclosure  of material,
     nonpublic  information  regarding  CMGI and (ii) public  disclosure of such
     material  information  would have a significant  adverse impact on CMGI, on
     written  notice given to each Investor that made the  registration  request
     setting forth  details  regarding  the basis for such  determination,  CMGI
     shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1
     until the earlier of (x) the date upon which such material  information  is
     disclosed  to the public or ceases to be material to CMGI,  and (y) 90 days
     after CMGI  provides  such  written  notice of such  determination  to such
     Investors;

     (e)      CMGI  shall  not  be  required  to register  any CMGI  Registrable
     Securities under this Section 2.1 unless the approximate aggregate offering
     price of the CMGI Registrable  Securities  proposed to be registered by the
     Investors shall be at least $25,000,000; and

     (f)      Investors  holding a majority of the CMGI  Registrable  Securities
     then held by all Investors shall have the right,  with the approval of CMGI
     (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), to select the managing
     and other  underwriters  for any  underwritten  offering  pursuant  to this
     Section 2.1.

For  all  purposes  of this Agreement, "Business Day" means any day other than a
Saturday,  Sunday  or a day on which the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC")  is  not  open  to  receive  filings.

     Section 2.2   Time for Calculation.  The determination of the number
                   --------------------
of  CMGI Registrable Securities which, pursuant to Section 2.1(a), CMGI need not
include  in  a registration shall be made immediately prior to the effectiveness
of  the  applicable  registration.

     Section 2.3   Third Person Shares.  CMGI may register shares of CMGI
                   -------------------
common  stock  for  sale  for the account of another person in a registration of
CMGI  Registrable  Securities  under  Section  2.1,  provided  that,  except  as
otherwise  required under the terms of currently outstanding registration rights
agreements of CMGI, CMGI shall not have the right to register any such shares to
the  extent  that the Investors that made the registration request under Section
2.1 are advised in writing (with a copy to CMGI) by the managing underwriter for
the  offering  of such CMGI Registrable Securities that, in such firm's opinion,
registration of such other shares may adversely affect  the offering and sale of
such  CMGI  Registrable  Securities.

     Section 2.4   Number of Demands.  The Investors shall have the right to
                   -----------------
twelve  registrations  pursuant to Section 2.1.  If  after  CMGI  has  exercised
its  right  to  delay  a  registration  pursuant  to  Section 2.1(c) or (d), the
Investors  determine  to  withdraw  their  demand  for  such  registration, such
withdrawn  demand  shall  not  be  counted  as  a  demand  under this Section 2.

Section 3.     "Piggyback"  Registration  of  CMGI  Registrable Securities.
               -----------------------------------------------------------

     Section 3.1   Notice  and  Registration.  If  at any time after the
                   -------------------------
first  anniversary  of  the Effective Time, CMGI proposes to register for public
sale  under  the Securities Act (other than a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or
any successor or similar forms thereto), whether proposed to be offered for sale
by  CMGI  or  any  other  person, including, without limitation, pursuant to the
exercise  by  any  other person or entity of any registration rights (other than
registration  rights  that,  as  of  the  date hereof, prohibit the inclusion of
securities  other  than  those  held by such other person or entity), any equity
securities of CMGI (the "Other CMGI Securities") on a form and in a manner which
would  permit registration of CMGI Registrable Securities for sale to the public
under  the Securities Act, CMGI will give prompt written notice to each Investor
of  its  intention to do so, describing such securities, and specifying the form
and  manner  and  the  other  relevant  facts  involved  in  such  registration
(including,  without limitation, (x) whether or not such registration will be in
connection  with  an  underwritten offering of equity securities and, if so, the
identity  of the managing underwriter and whether such offering will be pursuant
to  a  "best  efforts" or "firm commitment" underwriting and (y) the anticipated
price  range  at which such securities are reasonably expected to be sold to the
public).  Upon  the  written  request  of an Investor, delivered to CMGI by such
Investor  within  15  Business Days after the giving of any such notice by CMGI,
which  request  shall  specify the maximum number of CMGI Registrable Securities
intended  to  be disposed of by such Investor, CMGI will use its reasonable best
efforts  to  effect,  in  connection  with  the  registration  of the Other CMGI
Securities,  the  registration  under the Securities Act of all CMGI Registrable
Securities which CMGI has been so requested to register by such Investor, to the
extent  required  to  permit  the  disposition  (in accordance with the intended
method  or methods thereof as aforesaid) of CMGI Registrable Securities so to be
registered;  provided  that:
             --------

     (a)       CMGI will not be required  to effect  any  registration  of  CMGI
     Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3.1 if (i) the registration
     involves a "firm commitment" underwriting,  (ii) no securities of any other
     selling  stockholders are to be included in the registration and (iii) CMGI
     shall have been advised by a recognized independent investment banking firm
     selected by CMGI that, in such firm's opinion,  a registration at that time
     of any of the CMGI  Registrable  Securities  proposed  to be offered  would
     adversely affect the proposed CMGI Company Offering;

     (b)       if  CMGI  shall  have  been advised  by a recognized  independent
     investment banking firm selected by CMGI that, in such firm's opinion,  the
     number  of  securities   offered  by  such   Investors  and  other  selling
     stockholders,  if any, in a registration  which  includes CMGI  Registrable
     Securities  under this Section 3.1 is greater than the number of securities
     which can be offered without adversely affecting the offering, (i) CMGI may
     reduce pro rata the number of securities (including without limitation CMGI
     Registrable  Securities)  offered for the  account of selling  stockholders
     (except to the extent  that such  reductions  are  required to be made on a
     different basis pursuant to registration  rights agreements  outstanding on
     the date hereof, if any) to a number deemed satisfactory by such investment
     banking  firm and (ii) in the event  that  CMGI so  reduces  the  number of
     securities  offered  for the  account  of selling  stockholders,  each such
     Investor  agrees  to  reduce  pro  rata  the  number  of  CMGI  Registrable
     Securities offered for its account accordingly;

     (c)      CMGI may, in its sole discretion, delay any offering of Other CMGI
     Securities for which  registration of CMGI  Registrable  Securities also is
     effected  under this Section 3.1 by giving  written  notice of the delay to
     each  Investor that made a  registration  request under this Section 3.1 in
     respect of the offering;  provided,  however,  that if (i) the registration
     statement  with respect to the offering is not yet  effective and the delay
     extends for more than 30 days from the date of the written  notice of delay
     under this Section 3.1 or (ii) the  registration  statement with respect to
     the offering has been declared  effective by the SEC and the closing of the
     offering is delayed for more than 24 hours,  any such Investor may withdraw
     its CMGI Registrable Securities from the offering, and thereupon CMGI shall
     be relieved of its obligation to register such CMGI Registrable  Securities
     (but not from its  obligation  to pay  Registration  Expenses to the extent
     incurred in connection  therewith as provided in this  Agreement),  without
     prejudice,  however, to the rights (if any) of such Investor immediately to
     request that such registration be effected as a registration  under Section
     2.1 hereof;

     (d)       CMGI  shall  not  be require  to  register any  CMGI  Registrable
     Securities under this Section 3.1 unless the approximate aggregate offering
     price of the CMGI Registrable  Securities  proposed to be registered by the
     Investor shall be at least (i)  $15,000,000 in the event that such Investor
     is the only  selling  stockholder  for whom or which  securities  are being
     registered  or (ii)  $5,000,000  in the event that such Investor is not the
     only selling stockholder for whom or which securities are being registered;
     and

     (e)      CMGI shall have the right to select the managing  underwriter  for
     any  underwritten  offering  for which any  Investor  shall have  requested
     registration pursuant to this Section 3.1.

No  registration  of CMGI Registrable Securities effected under this Section 3.1
shall  relieve  CMGI  of  its  obligation  to  effect  a  registration  of  CMGI
Registrable  Securities  pursuant  to  Section  2.1.

Section 4.     Demand Registration of Newco Registrable Securities.
               ---------------------------------------------------

     Section 4.1   Notice and Registration.  Commencing six months after
                   -----------------------
Newco has completed an initial underwritten public offering of equity securities
(the  "IPO"),  at  any  time or from time to time, upon written notice by one or
more  Investors  requesting  that  Newco  effect  the  registration  under  the
Securities  Act of some or all of the Newco Registrable Securities held by them,
which notice shall specify the intended method or methods of disposition of such
Newco  Registrable  Securities,  Newco  will  use its reasonable best efforts to
effect  (at  the  earliest possible date) the registration, under the Securities
Act, of such Newco Registrable Securities for disposition in accordance with the
intended method or methods of disposition stated in such request, provided that:
                                                                  --------

     (a)      if  an  Investor  previously  has  disposed of  Newco  Registrable
     Securities  pursuant to a registration  under this Section 4.1, Newco shall
     not be required  to effect a  registration  under this  Section 4.1 until a
     period of at least 90 days shall have  elapsed from the  effective  date of
     the most recent such preceding registration;

     (b)      if, upon  receipt  of  a  registration  request  pursuant to  this
     Section  4.1,  Newco is  advised  by a  recognized  independent  investment
     banking firm selected by Newco that, in such firm's opinion, a registration
     at that time and on the  terms  requested  of any of the Newco  Registrable
     Securities  proposed to be offered  would  adversely  affect a then planned
     public  offering  by Newco of shares of its  common  stock  (other  than in
     connection  with  employee  benefit and similar  plans) (an "Newco  Company
     Offering")  that had been planned by Newco prior to the date of the written
     registration  request under this Section 4.1,  provided that Newco and CMGI
     comply with Section 5 hereof with respect to such Newco  Company  Offering,
     Newco  shall not be  required  to effect a  registration  pursuant  to this
     Section  4.1 until the  earliest  of (i) the later of (A) 90 days after the
     completion of such Newco  Company  Offering or (B) the  termination  of any
     "lock-up" period required by the underwriters,  if any, to be applicable to
     the Investors that made the  registration  request in connection  with such
     Newco Company  Offering,  (ii) five Business Days after abandonment of such
     Newco Company  Offering and, for this purpose,  such Newco Company Offering
     shall be  deemed  to have  been  abandoned  if the  registration  statement
     therefor  has not  become  effective  within 90 days  after the date of the
     written  registration  request of Compaq  under this  Section 4.1 and (iii)
     four  months  after the date of the written  notice from Compaq  requesting
     such  registration;  provided  that Newco shall only be  permitted to delay
     registration pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) if, in the aggregate,  Newco's
     exercise of such rights under this  Section  4.1(b) will not result in more
     than four months of delayed  registrations or sales by Investors within any
     twelve (12) month period;

     (c)      if while a registration request is pending under this Section 4.1,
     the board of  directors  of Newco  determines  in good  faith  that (i) the
     filing  of  a  registration  statement  would  require  the  disclosure  of
     material,  nonpublic information regarding Newco and (ii) public disclosure
     of such material  information  would have a significant  adverse  impact on
     Newco, on written notice given to each Investor that made the  registration
     request setting forth details  regarding the basis for such  determination,
     Newco  shall not be  required  to effect a  registration  pursuant  to this
     Section  4.1 until the  earlier of (x) the date upon  which  such  material
     information  is  disclosed  to the public or ceases to be material to Newco
     and  (y)  90  days  after  Newco  provides  such  written  notice  of  such
     determination to such Investors;

     (d)       Newco shall not be required to  register  any  Newco  Registrable
     Securities under this Section 4.1 unless the proposed approximate aggregate
     offering price of the Newco Registrable  Securities to be registered by the
     Investors shall be at least $25,000,000; and

     (e)      Investors holding a majority of the Newco  Registrable  Securities
     then held by all  Investors  shall have the  right,  with the  approval  of
     Newco,  which approval shall not be  unreasonably  withheld,  to select the
     managing and other  underwriters for any underwritten  offering pursuant to
     this Section 4.1.

     Section 4.2   Third  Person  Shares.  Newco  may register shares of
                   ---------------------
Newco  common stock for sale for the account of another person in a registration
of  Newco Registrable Securities under Section 4.1 provided that Newco shall not
have  the  right  to  register such shares to the extent that the Investors that
made  the  registration request under Section 2.1 are advised in writing (with a
copy  to  Newco)  by  the  managing  underwriter  for the offering of such Newco
Registrable  Securities that, in such firm's opinion, registration of such other
shares  may  adversely  affect  the  offering and sale of such Newco Registrable
Securities.

     Section 4.3   Number of Demands.  The Investors shall have the right
                   -----------------
to five registrations pursuant to Section 4.1.  If after Newco has exercised its
right  to  delay a registration pursuant to Section 4.1(b) or (c), the Investors
determine  to  withdraw  their  demand  for  such  registration,  such withdrawn
registration  shall  not  be  counted  as  a  demand  under  this  Section  4.

Section 5.   "Piggyback"  Registration  of  Newco  Registrable Securities.
             ------------------------------------------------------------

     Section 5.1   Notice  and  Registration.  If  Newco  proposes  to
                   -------------------------
register  for public sale under the Securities Act (other than a registration on
Form  S-4 or S-8 or any successor or similar forms thereto), whether proposed to
be  offered  for  sale  by  CMGI,  Newco or any other person, including, without
limitation,  pursuant  to  the  exercise  by  any  other person or entity of any
registration  rights,  any  equity  securities  of  Newco  (the  "Other  Newco
Securities")  on a form and in a manner which would permit registration of Newco
Registrable  Securities  for  sale to the public under the Securities Act, Newco
will  give  prompt  written  notice  to each Investor of its intention to do so,
describing  such  securities,  and  specifying the form and manner and the other
relevant facts involved in such registration (including, without limitation, (x)
whether  or  not  such  registration  will be in connection with an underwritten
offering  of  equity  securities  and,  if  so,  the  identity  of  the managing
underwriter  and  whether  such offering will be pursuant to a "best efforts" or
"firm commitment" underwriting and (y) the anticipated price range at which such
securities  are reasonably expected to be sold to the public).  Upon the written
request  of  an  Investor delivered to Newco by such Investor within 15 Business
Days  after  the  giving of any such notice by CMGI, which request shall specify
the  maximum number of CMGI Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by
such Investor and the intended method of disposition thereof, Newco will use its
reasonable  best  efforts  to effect, in connection with the registration of the
Other  Newco  Securities, the registration under the Securities Act of all Newco
Registrable  Securities  which  Newco  has been so requested to register by such
Investor,  to  the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with
the  intended  method  or  methods  thereof  as  aforesaid) of Newco Registrable
Securities  so  to  be  registered;  provided  that:
                                     --------

     (a)       Newco will not be required to  effect any  registration  of Newco
     Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 5.1 if (i) the registration
     involves a "firm commitment" underwriting,  (ii) no securities of any other
     selling stockholders are to be included in the registration and (iii) Newco
     shall have been advised by a recognized independent investment banking firm
     selected by Newco that, in such firm's opinion, a registration at that time
     of any of the Newco  Registrable  Securities  proposed to be offered  would
     adversely affect the proposed Newco Company Offering;

     (b)      if  Newco  shall  have  been  advise  by a  recognized independent
     investment banking firm selected by Newco that, in such firm's opinion, the
     number  of  securities   offered  by  such   Investors  and  other  selling
     stockholders,  if any, in a registration  which includes Newco  Registrable
     Securities  under this Section 5.1 is greater than the number of securities
     which can be offered without  adversely  affecting the offering,  (i) Newco
     may reduce pro rata the number of securities  (including without limitation
     Newco   Registrable   Securities)   offered  for  the  account  of  selling
     stockholders to a number deemed  satisfactory  by such  investment  banking
     firm and (ii) in the event that Newco so reduces  the number of  securities
     offered for the account of selling stockholders,  each such Investor agrees
     to reduce pro rata the number of Newco Registrable  Securities  offered for
     its account accordingly;

     (c)      Newco may, in  its sole  discretion,  delay any  offering of Other
     Newco  Securities for which  registration of Newco  Registrable  Securities
     also is effected  under this  Section 5.1 by giving  written  notice of the
     delay to each Investor that made a registration  request under this Section
     5.1; provided, however, that if (i) the registration statement with respect
     to the offering is not yet effective and the delay extends for more than 30
     days from the date of the written notice of delay under this Section 5.1 or
     (ii) the  registration  statement  with  respect to the  offering  has been
     declared  effective  by the SEC and the closing of the  offering is delayed
     for  more  than  24  hours,  any  such  Investor  may  withdraw  its  Newco
     Registrable  Securities  from the  offering,  and  thereupon  CMGI shall be
     relieved of its  obligation to register such Newco  Registrable  Securities
     (but not from its  obligation  to pay  Registration  Expenses to the extent
     incurred in connection  therewith as provided in this  Agreement),  without
     prejudice,  however, to the rights (if any) of such Investor immediately to
     request that such registration be effected as a registration  under Section
     4.1 hereof;

     (d)       Newco shall not be required to  register  any  Newco  Registrable
     Securities under this Section 5.1 unless the approximate aggregate offering
     price of the Newco Registrable  Securities proposed to be registered by the
     Investor  shall be at least (i)  $2,000,000 in the event that such Investor
     is the only  selling  stockholder  for whom or which  securities  are being
     registered  or (ii)  $1,000,000  in the event that such Investor is not the
     only selling stockholder for whom or which securities are being registered;
     and

     (e)      Newco shall have the right to select the managing  underwriter for
     any  underwritten  offering  for which any  Investor  shall have  requested
     registration pursuant to this Section 5.1.

No  registration of Newco Registrable Securities effected under this Section 5.1
shall  relieve  Newco  of  its  obligation  to  effect  a  registration of Newco
Registrable  Securities  pursuant  to  Section  4.1.

Section 6.  Registration  Procedures.
            ------------------------

     Section 6.1   Registration and Qualification.  If and whenever CMGI
                   ------------------------------
or  Newco  is  required  to  use  its  reasonable  best  efforts  to  effect the
registration  under  the  Securities  Act  of,  as to CMGI, any CMGI Registrable
Securities,  or,  as  to Newco, any Newco Registrable Securities, as provided in
Sections  2,  3,  4  or  5  hereof,  CMGI  or Newco, as the case may be, will as
expeditiously  as  is  practicable:

     (a)      prepare  and  promptly  file  with  the  SEC  a  registration
     statement  under the Securities Act  on  Form S-3  (or its successor or any
     similar short-form  registration  statement),  if  available,  and  if Form
     S-3  (or its successor  or  any  similar short-form registration statement)
     is not available, then  on  Form  S-1  (or  its  successor)  with   respect
     to  such  securities  to  be offered and use its reasonable best efforts to
     cause such registration statement to  become  and  remain  effective;

     (b)      prepare  and  file  with  the  SEC  such amendments (including
     post-effective amendments)  and  supplements to such registration statement
     and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep
     such registration statement effective and  to  comply  with  the provisions
     of the Securities Act  with  respect to the disposition of such securities,
     until  such  time  as  all  such  securities  have  been  disposed  of  in
     accordance with the intended  methods of  disposition  by  the  Investor(s)
     set forth  in such registration  statement  or, in the case of registration
     statements  not  governed  by  Rule  415  under  the Securities  Act,  the
     expiration  of  three  months  after  such registration  statement  becomes
     effective, if earlier;

     (c)      furnish  to  the  Investor(s) that  made the  registration request
     copies of any such registration statement, any prospectus included therein
     (including  any  preliminary  prospectus  or  summary  prospectus) and  any
     amendment  or  supplement thereto  (including all documents incorporated by
     reference therein prior to the effectiveness of such registration statement
     and  all exhibits),  which documents  (other than documents incorporated by
     reference)  will be subject to  the  prior review of such Investor(s) for a
     period  of  at  least  five  Business  Days,  and  (i)  with  respect  to a
     registration  under  Section 2 or 4 hereof,  CMGI or Newco, as the case may
     be,  shall  not  file  with  the  SEC  any  such  registration  statement,
     prospectus,  amendment  or  supplement  to  which  such Investor(s),  shall
     reasonably  object within  five  Business Days of receipt thereof and  (ii)
     with  respect  to  a  registration  under  Sections 3 or 5 hereof, prior to
     filing with the SEC any such registration statement,  prospectus, amendment
     or  supplement,  CMGI  or  Newco,  as  the  case  may be, will consider the
     reasonable objections of such Investor(s)  which  are  conveyed  to  it;

     (d)      furnish  to the Investor(s) that made the registration request and
     to  any underwriter of such securities,  such number of conformed copies of
     such  registration  statement  and  of  each  such amendment and supplement
     thereto  (in each case including  all exhibits),  such  number of copies of
     the  prospectus  included  in  such  registration statement (including each
     preliminary prospectus and  any  summary  prospectus)  in  conformity  with
     the  requirements of the Securities  Act,  such  documents incorporated  by
     reference  in  such registration statement  or  prospectus  and  such other
     documents as such Investor(s) or such underwriter  may  reasonably  request
     in  order  to  facilitate  the  public  sale  or other  disposition of such
     securities;

     (e)      use  its  reasonable  best efforts to  register or qualify all the
     securities  covered  by  such  registration  statement  under  such  other
     securities or blue  sky  laws  of  such  jurisdictions as  the  Investor(s)
     that  made the  registration request or any  underwriter of such securities
     shall reasonably request and do any and all other acts and things which may
     be  reasonably  necessary or  advisable to  enable  such Investor(s) or any
     underwriter  to  consummate  the  disposition  in such jurisdictions of the
     securities covered by such  registration  statement;  provided that CMGI or
                                                           --------
     Newco,  as the case may be, shall  not  for any such purpose be required to
     qualify  generally  to  do  business  as  a  foreign  corporation  in  any
     jurisdiction  where  it  is  not  so qualified  or to subject itself to any
     taxation  in  any  such jurisdiction or to consent to general or  unlimited
     service  of  process  in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

     (f)      use its reasonable best efforts to cause the securities covered by
     such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other
     governmental  agencies  or  authorities as  may  be necessary to enable the
     Investor(s)  that  made  the  registration  request  to  consummate  the
     disposition of such securities;

     (g)      otherwise use  its  reasonable  best  efforts  to  comply with all
     applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally available to
     its securityholders,  in each  case  as  soon as practicable, but not later
     than  45 calendar days after the  close of the period covered  thereby  (90
     calendar days in case the period covered corresponds to a fiscal year),  an
     earnings statement of Newco or CMGI, as the case may be, which will satisfy
     the provisions of Section 11(a)  of  the  Securities  Act;

     (h)      use  its  reasonable best efforts to  list such securities on each
     securities  exchange  or quote such securities  on each quotation system as
     the  Investor(s) that  made the registration request or the underwriters of
     the offering  may  reasonably  designate;

     (i)      (x)  immediately notify the Investor(s) that made the registration
     request  at any time when a  prospectus relating to a registration pursuant
     to  Section  2, 3, 4 or 5  hereof  is required  to  be  delivered under the
     Securities  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 any
     material  fact  required to be stated  therein  or  necessary  to  make the
     statements  therein,  in  light of  the  circumstances  then  existing, not
     misleading and (y) at the request of any such Investor, prepare and furnish
     to such Investor a reasonable number of copies of a supplement  to,  or  an
     amendment  of, such prospectus as may be necessary so that,  as  thereafter
     delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such prospectus  shall  not
     include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a  material
     fact  required  to be  stated  therein or  necessary to make the statements
     therein, in light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading.  Each
     Investor  agrees  not  to  sell  any  CMGI Registrable  Securities or Newco
     Registrable  Securities, as the case may be, registered under Section 2, 3,
     4 or 5  hereof  if such Investor has been  notified of  the happening of an
     event  under  clause  (x)  of  this  Section 6.1(i) until such Investor has
     received  such  copies  of the  supplement or amendment as aforesaid and is
     further notified by CMGI or Newco, as the case may be,  that the prospectus
     included  in the registration statement,  as  then  in  effect,  no  longer
     includes  an  untrue statement  of a  material fact  or  omits to state any
     material  fact  required  to be  stated  therein or  necessary to  make the
     statements  therein,  in  light  of  the circumstances  then existing,  not
     misleading.   Upon the  happening  of an  event  under  clause  (x) of this
     Section  6.1(i), the three-month time  period set forth in paragraph (b) of
     this  Section 6.1,  if applicable,  shall be  extended for a number of days
     equal to the number of days that  such  Investor is prohibited from selling
     such CMGI Registrable Securities or  Newco  Registrable  Securities, as the
     case may be, under  this  Section  6.1(i);

     (j)      (x) furnish to the Investor(s) that participate in the preparation
     of  the  registration  statement,  addressed to each of them, an opinion of
     counsel  for  CMGI or  Newco,  as  the  case may be,  dated the date of the
     closing of the sale of the  securities  under  the  underwriting agreement,
     covering  substantially  the same matters with respect to such registration
     statement (and the prospectus included therein) as are  customarily covered
     in opinions of issuer's  counsel  delivered to underwriters in underwritten
     public offerings of securities and  such  other matters as such Investor(s)
     may  reasonably  request,  and  (y) if permitted  by  applicable accounting
     standards, use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to such  Investor(s),
     addressed  to  each  of  them,  a  "cold comfort"  letter  signed  by  the
     independent public accountants who have certified CMGI's or Newco's, as the
     case  may  be,  financial  statements  included  in  or  incorporated  by
     reference into such registration statement, covering substantially the same
     matters  with  respect to such registration  statement  (and the prospectus
     included therein),  and  with respect  to  events subsequent to the date of
     such  financial  statements,  as  are  customarily  covered in accountants'
     letters  delivered  to  underwriters  in  underwritten  public offerings of
     securities and  such  other  matters  as  such Investor(s)  may  reasonably
     request; and

     (k)      execute  and  deliver  all instruments and documents and take such
     other  actions  and  obtain all such other certificates and  opinions as is
     customary in  an underwriter offering.

CMGI  or  Newco, as the case may be, may require any such Investor to furnish to
it  such  information  regarding such Investor and the distribution of such CMGI
Registrable Securities or Newco Registrable Securities, as the case may be, that
it  may from time to time reasonably request in writing and as shall be required
by  law  or  by  the SEC or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
("NASD")  in  connection  with  any  such  registration.

     Section 6.2   Underwriting.
                   ------------

     (a)      If requested by the underwriters  for any underwritten offering of
     CMGI  Registrable  Securities or  Newco Registrable Securities, as the case
     may  be,  pursuant  to a  registration requested by one or more Investor(s)
     hereunder,  CMGI or  Newco,  as  the  case  may  be,  will  enter  into  an
     underwriting agreement with  such  underwriters  for  such  offering,  such
     agreement  to  contain  such  representations,  warranties,  covenants  and
     indemnities by CMGI or Newco,  as the case may be, and such other terms and
     provisions  as are  customarily contained in underwriting  agreements  with
     respect  to  secondary  distributions,  including  without limitation  such
     underwriters' form of indemnities and contribution and the provision of  an
     opinion  of  counsel and,  if applicable,  a "cold comfort" letter, in each
     case  to the  effect and to the  extent provided in  Section 6.1(j) hereof.
     The  Investor(s)  on  whose  behalf  CMGI Registrable Securities  or  Newco
     Registrable  Securities,  as  the  case  may  be,  are to be distributed by
     such underwriters, shall be a party to any such underwriting agreement, and
     the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part
     of,  CMGI or Newco,  as the case  may be,  to and for  the  benefit of such
     underwriters  shall  also  be  made  to and  for the  benefit  of each such
     Investor.

     (b)      In  the  event that  any registration  pursuant to Sections 3 or 5
     hereof shall involve,  in  whole or in part, an underwritten offering, CMGI
     or  Newco,  as the  case  may be,  may  require  that the  CMGI Registrable
     Securities or  Newco  Registrable  Securities,  as  the  case  may  be,  be
     included in such underwriting on  the  same  terms  and conditions as shall
     be applicable to the Other  CMGI Securities or Other Newco Securities being
     sold through underwriters under  such  registration.  In  such  case,  each
     Investor on  whose  behalf such securities  are  to  be distributed by such
     underwriters  shall  be a party to  any such  underwriting agreement.  Such
     agreement  shall  contain  such representations,  warranties, covenants and
     indemnities  by  each  such Investor and such other terms and provisions as
     are  customarily  contained in underwriting agreements with respect to  the
     selling  shareholders  in  a  secondary  distributions,  including  without
     limitation  the  underwriters'  form  of  indemnities  and  contribution,
     provided that the aggregate  amount of any indemnification and contribution
     --------
     to be  provided  by any  Investor  thereunder  shall be  limited to the net
     proceeds to such Investor  from the offering  under such registration.  The
     representations and warranties in  such  underwriting agreement by, and the
     other agreements on the part  of, CMGI  or  Newco,  as  the case may be, to
     and for the benefit of such underwriters  shall  also  be  made  to and for
     the benefit of such Investor(s).

     (c)      In the event that any  registration shall involve an  underwritten
     offering of CMGI Registrable Securities or Newco Registrable Securities, as
     the case may be,  with an aggregate current market value (calculated  based
     on  the  per share closing  price of the CMGI Common Stock or Newco  Common
     Stock, as the case may be, on the trading day immediately prior to the  day
     on  which the request for registration is given under Section 2.1, 3.1, 4.1
     or  5.1)  equal to or in excess of $250,000,000, CMGI or Newco, as the case
     may  be,  will,  for  a  period not  longer than  one week,  (i) market the
     securities  to be  offered by the  Investors in such  registration with the
     same  diligence  as  it  would  devote  to  the  marketing  of  a  primary
     registration of its securities and (ii) cause its management to participate
     in any efforts by the underwriters to market  such securities to be offered
     by  such  Investors  in  such  registration,  if  and  as  required by such
     underwriters;  provided that each of CMGI and Newco, as the  case  may  be,
     shall only be required to market such  securities pursuant to this  Section
     6.2(c)  once  every  twenty-four  (24)  month  period.

     Section 6.3   Lock-up.
                   -------

     (a)      If  a  registration  pursuant  hereto  involves  an  under-written
     offering,  CMGI  and  Newco  agree,  if  so  required  by  the  managing
     underwriter  of  such  offering,  (i)  not  to  effect  any  public sale or
     distribution  of  any of its  equity  securities or  securities convertible
     into or exchangeable or  exercisable for  any  of  such  equity  securities
     during a period of up to 90 calendar days after  the effective date of such
     registration, except for securities sold in such underwritten  offering  or
     except in connection with a stock option plan, purchase  plan,  savings  or
     similar plan, or an acquisition, merger or exchange offer and (ii)  to  use
     its  reasonable  best efforts to cause  its officers and directors to agree
     not  to  effect any  sale or distribution (other than a private sale  to  a
     transferee  who  or  which  agrees  to  the  same restrictions to which the
     transferor is  subject)  of  any (x) equity securities of CMGI or Newco, as
     the case may be,  owned  or  controlled  by any of them or their respective
     family  members  or  (y)  securities  convertible  into or  exchangeable or
     exercisable for any of such equity securities owned or controlled by any of
     them or their respective  family members,  during a period of up to 90 days
     after the effective date of the registration statement,  except  as part of
     and  pursuant  to such  underwritten offering;  provided that neither CMGI,
     Newco nor their respective officers and  directors shall be  subject to the
     foregoing more than once in any twelve (12) month period.

     (b)      If  a  registration  pursuant  hereto  involves  an  under-written
     offering, each Investor, whether  or not  such  Investor's CMGI Registrable
     Securities  or  Newco  Registrable  Securities  are  included  in  such
     registration, will,  if  and  to  the  extent  requested  by  the managing
     underwriter  in such offering,  enter  into  an  agreement  not  to  effect
     any  public sale or distribution,  including  any sale pursuant to Rule 144
     under  the  Securities  Act  (but excluding  those  securities sold in such
     underwritten offering),  of,  in the  case  of an  underwritten offering by
     CMGI, any of the equity securities of CMGI owned by such  Investor, and, in
     the case of an underwritten offering by Newco, any of the equity securities
     of  Newco owned by  such Investor, without the  consent  of  such  managing
     underwriter,  during  a  period  commencing  on the  effective date of such
     registration and  ending a number of calendar days thereafter not exceeding
     90  days  (or, in the case of the initial underwritten public  offering  of
     common stock of Newco, not to exceed 180 days) as such managing underwriter
     shall reasonably determine is required  to  effect  a successful  offering;
     provided such agreement is substantially identical in form and substance to
     other  "lock-up" agreements of the other stockholders of CMGI or Newco,  as
     applicable,  who execute such  agreements in connection with such offering;
     provided  that  the  Investors shall not be  subject to the  foregoing more
     than once in any twelve (12) month period.

     (a)      any  and  all  loss,  claim,  damage,  liability  and  expense
     whatsoever  arising  out  of or based  upon any untrue statement or alleged
     untrue  statement  of  a  material  fact  contained  in  any  registration
     statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus included therein,
     any  amendment  or  supplement  thereto  or  any  document  incorporated by

     statement of  a  material  fact  contained  in  any registration statement,
     any  preliminary  prospectus  or  final  prospectus  included  therein, any
     amendment  or supplement thereto  or any document incorporated by reference
     therein or any omission  or  alleged  omission  to state therein a material
     fact required to be stated therein  or  necessary  to  make  the statements
     therein not misleading;

     (b)      any and all loss, claim,  damage, liability and expense whatsoever
     to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation,
     or  investigation  or proceeding  by  any  governmental  agency  or  body,
     commenced  or  threatened,  or of any  claim whatsoever based upon any such
     untrue  statement  or omission,  or any  such  alleged  untrue statement or
     omission, if such settlement is effected with the written  consent  of  the
     Newco;  and

     (c)      against  any  and  all  expense  reasonably  incurred  by  them in
     connection  with  investigating,  preparing  or  defending  against  any
     litigation, or investigation or  proceeding  by  any governmental agency or
     body, commenced or threatened, or any claim  whatsoever based upon any such

with  written  information  furnished to Newco by or on behalf of such Investor,
underwriter  or  control  person  expressly  for  inclusion in such registration
statement,  prospectus,  amendment or supplement.  The foregoing indemnity shall
remain  in  full  force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf  of  such  Investor,  underwriter or control person or any such director,
officer,  partner or person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by
such  Investor.

     Section 8.3   Indemnification  by  the  Investors
                   -----------------------------------

     (a)      CMGI  may  require,  as a  condition to including CMGI Registrable
     Securities  of  an  Investor in any registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or
     3.1,  that  such Investor agree to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same
     manner  and  to the  same  extent  as set forth in  Section 8.1) CMGI, each

     prospectus  or  final  prospectus  included  therein,  or  any amendment or
     supplement thereto, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon
     and in conformity with written information furnished by  or  on  behalf  of
     such  Investor  to  CMGI  expressly  for  inclusion  in  such  registration
     statement,  prospectus,  amendment or supplement.  Any such indemnity shall
     remain in full force and effect regardless  of any investigation made by or
     on  behalf of CMGI  or any such director, officer or controlling person and
     shall survive the  transfer  of  the  such  securities  by  such  Investor.

     (b)      Newco  may  require,  as  a  condition  to  including  any  Newco
     Registrable  Securities  of  an  Investor  in  a  registration  pursuant to
     Section  4.1 or 5.1,  that  such  Investor  agree  to  indemnify  and  hold
     Harmless  (in  the same  manner  and  to the  same  extent  as set forth in
     Section 8.2)  Newco, each director of  Newco,  each  officer  of  Newco who
     signed  such registration statement, each person  who  participates  as  an
     underwriter  in  the offering or sale of such securities,  each officer and

     registration  statement,  any  preliminary  prospectus  or final prospectus
     included  therein,  or  any  amendment  or  supplement  thereto,  if  such
     statement  or  omission  was  made  in reliance upon and in conformity with
     written information furnished  by  or on behalf of such  Investor to  Newco
     expressly  for  inclusion  in  such  registration  statement,  prospectus,
     amendment  or  supplement.   Any such indemnity  shall remain in full force
     and effect regardless of any  investigation made by or on behalf  of  Newco
     or any such director, officer or  controlling person and  shall survive the
     transfer of the such securities by such Investor.

     (c)      Notwithstanding  the provisions of paragraphs  (a) and (b) of this
     Section 8.3, no Investor shall be required to provide indemnification under
     this  Section  8.3  in  an  aggregate  amount in excess of the net proceeds
     received by such Investor in the offering.

     Section 8.4   Indemnification  Procedures.
                   ---------------------------

     (a)      Promptly  after  receipt  by  an  indemnified  party  hereunder of
     written notice of the commencement  of any action or proceeding involving a
     claim  referred  to in this  Section 8,  such  indemnified party will, if a
     claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party,  give
     written notice to such indemnifying  party  of  the  commencement  of  such
     action; provided, however,  that the  failure  of any  indemnified party to
             --------  -------
     give notice as provided  herein  shall  not  relieve the indemnifying party
     of  its  obligations  under  this  Section 8,  except  to the  extent  (not
     including any such notice of an underwriter) that  the  indemnifying  party
     is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.  In  case  any  such
     action is brought against an indemnified party,  unless in such indemnified
     party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified
     and indemnifying parties may exist in  respect of such claim (in which case
     the  indemnifying party  shall  not  be liable for the fees and expenses of
     more than one firm of counsel for the Investors  or  more  than one firm of
     counsel for the under-writers in connection with any one action or separate
     but  similar  or related actions, in addition in each  case,  to  any local
     counsel), the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and  to
     assume  the  defense thereof,  jointly  with any other  indemnifying  party
     similarly  notified,  to  the  extent  that  it  may  wish,  with  counsel
     reasonably  satisfactory to such  indemnified party,  and after notice from
     the  indemnifying  party  to such  indemnified party  of its election so to
     assume  the defense thereof,  the  indemnifying party will not be liable to
     such  indemnified  party  for  any  legal  or  other  expenses subsequently
     incurred  by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof.
     No  indemnified  party shall  consent to the entry of any judgment or enter
     into  any  settlement  of  any  such  action, the defense of which has been
     assumed  by  an  indemnifying party and for which an indemnifying party may
     have  indemnification  liability  hereunder  with  the  consent  of  such
     indemnifying  party.

     (b)      CMGI or Newco, as the case may be, and the Investors shall provide
     for  the  fore-going  indemnities  (with appropriate modifications)  in any
     underwriting agreement with respect to  any  required registration or other
     qualification of securities under any federal or state law or regulation of
     any governmental authority.

     Section  8.5   Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in
                    ------------
Section  8.1  or  Section  8.3(a) hereof is required by its terms but is for any
reason  held  to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified  party under such Section in respect to any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities  or  expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying
party  shall  contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party
as  a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to
therein  (a)  in  such  proportion  as  is  appropriate  to reflect the relative
benefits  received  by  CMGI,  the  Investors  which  held  the CMGI Registrable
Securities subject to the registration and the underwriters from the offering or
(b)  if  the  allocation  provided  by  clause  (a)  above  is  not permitted by
applicable  law,  in  such  proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but also the relative fault of
CMGI,  such  Investors and the underwriters in connection with the statements or
omissions  or  inaccuracies  in  the representations and warranties herein which
resulted  in  such  losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as
any  other  relevant equitable considerations.  The respective relative benefits
received  by  CMGI, such Investors and the underwriters shall be deemed to be in
the  same proportion, in the case of CMGI and such Investors, as the total price
paid  to  CMGI  and  to such Investors, respectively, for the securities sold by
them  to  the  underwriters  (net  of underwriting commissions and discounts but
before  deducting  expenses),  and  in  the  case  of  the  underwriters, as the
underwriting  commissions  or  discounts  received by them bears to the total of
such  amounts  paid  to  CMGI  and  to  such  Investors,  and  received  by  the
underwriters  as  underwriting  commissions or discounts.  The relative fault of
CMGI,  such  Investors and the underwriters shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact  or  the  omission  or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information  supplied  by  CMGI,  such  Investors  or  the  underwriters and the
parties'  relative  intent,  knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct  or  prevent  such statement or omission.  CMGI and each Investor agrees
that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section
8.5 were determined solely by pro rata allocation (even if the underwriters were
treated  as  one  entity  for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation
which  does  not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section
8.5,  (i) the foregoing contribution agreement shall not inure to the benefit of
any  indemnified  party  if  indemnification would be available to such party by
reason  of  Section 8.1 or 8.3(a) hereof, and (ii) no Investor shall be required
to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by Compaq in the
offering.  No  person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of  Section  11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who  was  not  guilty  of  such  fraudulent  misrepresentation.

     Section 8.6   Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in
                   ------------
Section  8.2  or  Section  8.3(b) hereof is required by its terms but is for any
reason  held  to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified  party under such Section in respect to any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities  or  expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying
party  shall  contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party
as  a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to
therein  (a)  in  such  proportion  as  is  appropriate  to reflect the relative
benefits  received  by  Newco,  the  Investors  which held the Newco Registrable
Securities subject to the registration and the underwriters from the offering or
(b)  if  the  allocation  provided  by  clause  (a)  above  is  not permitted by
applicable  law,  in  such  proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but also the relative fault of
Newco,  such Investors and the underwriters in connection with the statements or
omissions  or  inaccuracies  in  the representations and warranties herein which
resulted  in  such  losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as
any  other  relevant equitable considerations.  The respective relative benefits
received  by Newco, such Investors and the underwriters shall be deemed to be in
the same proportion, in the case of Newco and such Investors, as the total price
paid  to  Newco  and to such Investors, respectively, for the securities sold by
them  to  the  underwriters  (net  of underwriting commissions and discounts but
before  deducting  expenses),  and  in  the  case  of  the  underwriters, as the
underwriting  commissions  or  discounts  received by them bears to the total of
such  amounts  paid  to  Newco  and  to  such  Investors,  and  received  by the
underwriters  as  underwriting  commissions or discounts.  The relative fault of
Newco,  such Investors and the underwriters shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact  or  the  omission  or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information  supplied  by  Newco,  such  Investors  or  the underwriters and the
parties'  relative  intent,  knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct  or  prevent such statement or omission.  Newco and each Investor agrees
that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section
8.6 were determined solely by pro rata allocation (even if the underwriters were
treated  as  one  entity  for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation
which  does  not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section
8.6,  (i) the foregoing contribution agreement shall not inure to the benefit of
any  indemnified  party  if  indemnification would be available to such party by
reason  of  Section 8.2 or 8.3(b) hereof, and (ii) no Investor shall be required
to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such Investor
in  the  offering.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning  of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person  who  was  not  guilty  of  such  fraudulent  misrepresentation.

Section 9.   Miscellaneous
             -------------

                   -------------------------------------
with  the preparation and filing of each registration statement registering CMGI
Registrable  Securities  or  Newco  Registrable  Securities, as the case may be,
under  the  Securities  Act,  CMGI  or  Newco, as the case may be, will give the
Investors  and  the  underwriters,  if  any,  and  their  respective counsel and
accountants, such reasonable and customary access after reasonable notice to its
books  and  records  and  such  opportunities  to  discuss its business with its
officers and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial
statements  and  perform  such  other  diligence  as  shall be necessary, in the
opinion  of such Investors and such underwriters or their respective counsel, to
conduct  a  reasonable  investigation  within the meaning of the Securities Act.

     Section 9.3   Legends;  Stop  Transfer  Restriction.
                   -------------------------------------

     (a)      Each  Investor  hereby  acknowledges  that  each  certificate
     representing  CMGI  Registrable Securities  or Newco Registrable Securities
     may be stamped or otherwise  imprinted  with  a legend in substantially the
     following form:

              "This  common stock  has  not been registered under the Securities
              Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be transferred in the absence
              of such registration or an exemption therefrom  under  such  Act."

     (b)      The legend referenced  in this Section 9.3, shall be applicable to
     any  disposition  of  CMGI  Registrable  Securities  or  Newco  Registrable
     Securities  while  transfer  of  such  securities  is  restricted  by  the
     Securities  Act or the Purchase Agreement.  CMGI or Newco,  as the case may
     be,  agrees that,  upon  receipt  of a  written  request from an  Investor,
     executed  and  delivered  to  CMGI or Newco,  as the  case  may be, and its
     transfer  agent  and  accompanied  by  an  opinion  of  counsel  reasonably
     acceptable to CMGI or Newco, as the case may be, to the effect that some or
     all of the CMGI Registrable Securities or Newco Registrable Securities,  as
     the  case  may be,  may lawfully be publicly offered and sold in the United
     States without registration under the Securities Act, CMGI or Newco, as the
     case  may  be,  will, or will cause its transfer agent or warrant agent (if
     any)  to,  remove  such  legend  from the  certificates  representing  such
     securities.

     Section 9.4   No  Inconsistent Agreements.  CMGI and Newco have not
                   ---------------------------
entered  into,  and shall not on or after the date of this Agreement enter into,
any  agreement  with  respect  to  its  securities  that compromises, negates or
violates  the  rights  expressly  granted to the Investors under this Agreement.

     Section 9.5   Amendment  and Waiver.  No amendment of any provision
                   ---------------------
of  this  Agreement  shall be effective, unless the same shall be in writing and
