                                    AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is dated as of February 4, 2001, by and
among MindArrow Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), Thomas J.
Blakeley, an individual ("Blakeley"), and Eric A. McAfee, an individual
("McAfee").

                                    RECITALS

     A.  U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation, the Company's transfer agent
("Transfer Agent"), has informed the Company of a discrepancy (the
"Discrepancy") between the number of shares of the Company's common stock listed
as issued and outstanding in the name of Cede & Co ("DTC") on the records of the
Transfer Agent as compared to the number of shares of the Company's common stock
which DTC reports to be issued and outstanding in its name based on stock
certificates of the Company issued to it.

     B.  The amount of the Discrepancy, as more fully described in Exhibit A,
                                                                   ---------
attached hereto, is 1,108,051 shares of the Company's common stock (the
"Shares").

     C.  Pursuant to Section 8-401 of the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code, if a
holder of valid certificates representing shares of the Company's common stock
meets the conditions set forth in Section 8-401 of the Delaware Uniform
Commercial Code and requests that the Company register a transfer of its shares,
and if such holder is a "Protected Purchaser" as such term is defined in Section
8-303 of the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code, then the Company is statutorily
under a duty to register such transfer.

     D.  Pursuant to Section 8-401 of the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code, the
Company may be liable for losses incurred by a Protected Purchaser resulting
from unreasonable delay by the Company in registration, or failure or refusal to
register the requested transfer.

     E.  Although this Corporation is continuing its investigation of the
Discrepancy, it has been unable to determine that any of the Shares are held of
record or beneficially owned by persons other than Protected Purchasers or are
not valid certificated securities of the Corporation.

     F.  As a result of such statutory obligation, the Board of Directors of the
Company has resolved to treat the Shares as duly and validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable until and unless the Company determines that a holder of
Shares is not a Protected Purchaser or the Shares are not valid certificated
securities.

     G.  Blakeley is a co-founder and the Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors
of the Company and is the beneficial owner of 1,778,136 shares of the Company's
common stock (the "Blakeley Shares").

     H.  McAfee is a co-founder and the Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors of
the Company and is the beneficial owner of 1,385,527 shares of the Company's
common stock (the "McAfee Shares").

     I.  As co-founders of the Company and as the two largest shareholders of
the Company, Blakeley and McAfee have a significant interest in resolving the
Discrepancy.

                                       1
<PAGE>

     In consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements contained in this Agreement (including the payment of the expenses
specified in Section 2.4 hereof) and as an inducement to cause the Company to
instruct the Transfer Agent to treat, subject to applicable law, the Shares as
outstanding shares of Common Stock and to recognize and record transfers of the
Shares, the parties agree as follows:

1.   Surrender and Cancellation of Shares.
     ------------------------------------

     1.1  Blakeley hereby contributes 554,025 shares of common stock of the
Company to the Company, such shares to be cancelled by the Company (the
"Blakeley Cancellation Shares"); provided, however, that if requested by the
Company, Blakeley shall effect such contribution by transferring the Blakeley
Cancellation Shares to the Depository Trust Company (or its nominee) (the "DTC")
concurrently with the transfer by DTC, to the Company for cancellation, of share
certificates representing 554,025 of the Shares. Blakeley hereby delivers or
agrees to promptly deliver (and in any event within ten business days from the
date hereof) to the Company Stock Certificate No. 65 along with an executed
stock power with a signature guarantee for the purpose of effecting such
contribution or transfer. The Company shall cause a new stock certificate to be
issued and returned to Blakeley for the amount by which the share certificates
exceed the number of Blakeley Cancellation Shares.

     1.2  McAfee hereby contributes 554,026 shares of common stock of the
Company to the Company, such shares to be cancelled by the Company (the "McAfee
Cancellation Shares"); provided, however, that if requested by the Company,
McAfee shall effect such contribution by transferring the McAfee Cancellation
Shares to the DTC concurrently with the transfer by DTC, to the Company for
cancellation, of share certificates representing 554,026 of the Shares. McAfee
hereby delivers or agrees to promptly deliver (and in any event within ten
business days from the date hereof) to the Company Stock Certificates Nos. 17
and 19 along with an executed stock power with a signature guarantee for the
purpose of effecting such contribution or transfer. The Company shall cause a
new stock certificate to be issued and returned to McAfee for the amount by
which the share certificates exceed the number of McAfee Cancellation Shares.

     1.3  Blakeley and McAfee each hereby agree to execute such additional
documents and provide the Company's transfer agent with any further assurances
as may be necessary to effect the cancellation or transfer of the Blakeley
Cancellation Shares and the McAfee Cancellation Shares, respectively.

2.   Covenants of the Company.
     ------------------------

     2.1  Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to investigate
the Discrepancy and pursue any rights it may have with respect to the Shares or
against any party that may have acted wrongfully with respect to the issuance or
transfer of the Shares; provided that the Company's Board of Directors may
determine the extent to which any such claims and the probability of recovery
shall warrant action. In the event that the Company shall determine not to
pursue a claim it shall, at the request of either Blakeley or McAfee (or both)
assign to Blakeley and McAfee (or if only one of Blakeley and McAfee requests
such assignment, to the requesting party provided that the Company and the
requesting party have given at least 20

                                       2
<PAGE>

business days notice (the "Notice Period") to the other party of the request for
the assignment and the other party shall have the right during the Notice Period
to elect to be a co-assignee by giving notice thereof to the Company) the
Company's right and interest in such claim for no additional consideration. In
the event that the Company makes an assignment to Blakeley or McAfee (but not
both of them), then the parties acknowledge that assignee may pursue the claim
and shall be exclusively entitled to whatever recovery is obtained. In the event
that the Company makes an assignment to Blakeley and McAfee (both of them and
not just one), then Blakeley and McAfee hereby agree to cooperate together in
the pursuit of the claims and shall share expenses and any recovery obtained
equally.

     2.2  In the event that, pursuant to Section 2.1, the Company recovers any
of the Shares from any improper issuance of the Shares, it shall, subject to
Sections 2.4 and 2.5:

          (a)  issue to Blakeley in shares of common stock of the Company that
number of shares determined by the following formula: Number of shares = A
multiplied by B, where (A) equals fifty percent (50%), and (B) equals the number
of shares of Common Stock of the Company recovered by the Company pursuant to
Section 2.1; and

          (b)  issue to McAfee in shares of common stock of the Company that
number of shares determined by the following formula: Number of shares = A
multiplied by B, where (A) equals fifty percent (50%), and (B) equals the number
of shares of Common Stock of the Company recovered by the Company pursuant to
Section 2.1.

     2.3  In the event that, pursuant to Section 2.1, the Company recovers any
cash or other property (other than Shares), it shall, subject to Sections 2.4
and 2.5:

          (a)  issue to Blakeley in shares of common stock of the Company that
number of shares determined by the following formula: Number of shares = (A X B)
divided by C, where (A) equals fifty percent (50%), (B) equals the cash and/or
fair market value (as determined in good faith by a majority of the Company's
board of directors) of the other property recovered by the Company pursuant to
Section 2.1 and (C) equals $4.50; and

          (b)  issue to McAfee in shares of common stock of the Company that
number of shares determined by the following formula: Number of shares = (A X B)
divided by C, where (A) equals (50%), (B) equals the cash and/or fair market
value (as determined in good faith by a majority of the Company's board of
directors) of the other property recovered by the Company pursuant to Section
2.1 and (C) equals $4.50.

     2.4  Repayment of Expenses.
          ---------------------

          (a)  Prior to issuing any shares to Blakeley pursuant to Section 2.2
or Section 2.3, the Company shall first deduct from such issuance (or issuances)
an aggregate of 16,000 shares (representing $72,000 in expenses paid by the
Company on behalf of Blakeley).

          (b)  Prior to issuing any shares to McAfee pursuant to Section 2.2
or Section 2.3, the Company shall first deduct from such issuance (or issuances)

Company on behalf of McAfee).
