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

The occurrence of any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. In this case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose part or all of your investment. Investing in our common stock may expose you to the following risks inherent in our business We expect significant increases in our operating expenses and continuing losses. We incurred a cumulative net loss of $20.9 million for the period from inception through September 30, 1999. Our operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $15.4 million, for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $4.2 million, and for the year ended December 31, 1997 was $1.0 million. We have not achieved profitability. We only began selling products under our current business model in November 1998. We may not obtain enough customer traffic or a high enough volume of purchases to generate sufficient revenues and achieve profitability. We believe that we will continue to incur operating and net losses for the next several years, and that the rate at which we will incur losses will increase significantly from current levels. We intend to increase our operating expenses substantially as we: . increase our sales and marketing activities, particularly advertising efforts; . provide our customers with promotional benefits, such as selling selected products or offering shipping below our actual costs; . increase our general and administrative functions to support our growing operations; . expand our customer support and sports consultant staffs to better serve customer needs; . develop enhanced technologies and features to improve our web site; . enhance our distribution and order fulfillment capabilities; and . expand third-party distribution facilities or possibly buy or build our own. Because we will spend these amounts before we receive any revenues from these efforts, our losses will be greater than the losses we would incur if we developed our business more slowly. In addition, we may find that these efforts are more expensive than we currently anticipate, which would further increase our losses. Also, the timing of these expenses may contribute to fluctuations in our quarterly operating results. Our limited operating history makes forecasting difficult. Because most of our expenses are based on planned operating results, failure to accurately forecast revenues could cause net losses in a given quarter to be greater than expected. As a result of our limited operating history, it is difficult to accurately forecast our revenues and we have limited meaningful historical financial data upon which to base planned operating expenses. We were incorporated in October 1994. We started as a web site design company and derived most of our revenues from the sale of web development services until August 1998, when we stopped selling those services. We began selling products on our web site only in November 1998. Our results since that time will not be comparable to our prior results. We base our current and future expense levels on our operating plans, expected traffic and purchases from our web site and estimates of future revenues, and our significant expenses are to a large extent fixed in the short term. Our sales and operating results are difficult to forecast because they generally depend on the volume and timing of the orders we receive. As a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. This inability could cause our net loss in a given quarter to be greater than expected. 8 Our operating results are volatile and difficult to predict. If we fail to meet the expectations of public market analysts and investors, the market price of our common stock may decline significantly. Our annual and quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Because our operating results are volatile and difficult to predict, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results are not a good indication of our future performance. It is likely that in some future quarter our operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In this event, the trading price of our common stock may decline significantly. Factors that may harm our business or cause our operating results to fluctuate include the following: . our inability to obtain new customers at a reasonable cost, retain existing customers, or encourage repeat purchases; . decreases in the number of visitors to our web site or our inability to convert visitors to our web site into customers; . the mix of sporting goods, apparel, footwear and other products sold by us; . our inability to manage inventory levels; . our inability to adequately maintain, upgrade and develop our web site, the systems that we use to process customers' orders and payments or our computer network; . the ability of our competitors to offer new or enhanced web sites, services or products; . price competition; . fluctuations in the demand for sporting goods associated with sports events, movies, television and other entertainment events; . fluctuations in the amount of consumer spending on sporting goods and related products, which tend to be discretionary spending items; . the termination of existing marketing relationships with key business partners or failure to develop new ones; . increases in the cost of online or offline advertising; . the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our operations; . unexpected increases in shipping costs or delivery times, particularly during the holiday season; and . technical difficulties, system downtime or Internet slowdowns. A number of factors will cause our gross margins to fluctuate in future periods, including the mix of products sold by us, inventory management, inbound and outbound shipping and handling costs, the level of product returns and the level of discount pricing and promotional coupon usage. Any change in one or more of these factors could reduce our gross margins in future periods. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Quarterly Results of Operations." Seasonal fluctuations in the sales of sporting goods could cause wide fluctuations in our quarterly results. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience seasonal fluctuations in our revenues. These seasonal patterns will cause quarterly fluctuations in our operating results. In particular, we expect that the fourth calendar quarter will account for a large percentage of our total annual sales. In anticipation of increased sales activity during the fourth calendar quarter, we may hire a significant number of temporary employees to bolster our permanent staff and we intend to significantly increase our inventory levels. For this reason, if our revenues were below seasonal expectations during this quarter, our annual operating results could be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In the future, our seasonal sales patterns may become more 9 pronounced, may strain our personnel, product distribution and shipment activities and may cause a shortfall in revenues as compared to expenses in a given period. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." We have been unable to fund our operations with the cash generated from our business. If we do not generate cash sufficient to fund our operations, we may need additional financing to continue our growth or our growth may be limited. To date, we have funded our operations from the sale of equity securities and have not generated sufficient cash from operations. Cash from revenues must increase significantly for us to fund anticipated operating expenses internally. If our cash flows are insufficient to fund these expenses, we may need to fund our growth through additional debt or equity financings or reduce costs. Further, we may not be able to obtain financing on satisfactory terms. Our inability to finance our growth, either internally or externally, may limit our growth potential and our ability to execute our business strategy. If we issue securities to raise capital, our existing stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new securities may have rights senior to those of our common stock. We must maintain relationships with our distributors and manufacturers to obtain sufficient quantities of quality merchandise on acceptable commercial terms. If we fail to maintain our relationships with those parties on acceptable terms, our sales and profitability could suffer. Because we rely primarily on product manufacturers and third-party distributors to stock the products we offer, our business would be seriously harmed if we were unable to develop and maintain relationships with suppliers that allow us to obtain sufficient quantities of quality merchandise on acceptable terms. Our product orders are fulfilled by more than 15 distributors and manufacturers. However, our contracts or arrangements with these parties do not guarantee the availability of merchandise, establish guaranteed prices or provide for the continuation of particular pricing practices. In addition, we do not have a written contract with most of our major suppliers. Although we have alternative sources of supply for a small percentage of the products we offer, we may have difficulty establishing alternative sources for many of our products. Our current suppliers may not continue to sell products to us on current terms or at all, and we may not be able to establish new supply relationships to ensure delivery of merchandise in a timely and efficient manner or on terms acceptable to us. Some sporting goods manufacturers may be slow to adopt the use of the Internet as a distribution channel. In addition, our supply contracts typically do not restrict a supplier from selling products to other retailers, which could limit our ability to supply the quantity of merchandise requested by our customers. If we cannot supply our products to consumers at acceptable prices, we may lose sales and market share as consumers make purchases elsewhere. Further, an increase in supply costs could cause our operating losses to increase beyond current expectations. If we are unable to establish and maintain relationships with key brand manufacturers, our sales will decrease. If we are unable to establish and maintain relationships with important brand manufacturers, we may be unable to obtain sufficient quantities of popular products and in-depth product information. This could result in lower sales. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, we derived approximately 15% of our net revenues from sales of our top selling brands, adidas and Nike, although neither of these brands accounted for in excess of 10% of our net revenues. We recently entered into an agreement with Nike that will give us access to Nike's generally available product lines and product information, as well as advance availability of mutually agreed upon, newly released Nike products. However, this agreement has a term of only two years and is subject to earlier termination if we breach the agreement. Moreover, Nike is not legally obligated to sell us any quantity of product or deliver on any particular schedule. Also, our purchases from Nike's online affiliate are subject to similar limitations. If our relationship with Nike deteriorates, our business and reputation could be seriously harmed. In addition, our relationship with Nike could cause other existing or future suppliers to modify their existing relationships with us or prevent new relationships from being formed. 10 We have experienced difficulty in obtaining sufficient product allocations from some of our key vendors. In addition, Nike and some of our other key vendors have established, and may continue to expand, their own online retailing efforts, which may impair our ability to acquire sufficient product allocations from these vendors. In connection with this expansion, or a decision by manufacturers not to offer products online or through our web site, manufacturers have asked us and may again ask us to remove their products from our web site. We depend on third parties to fulfill all of our customer orders, and any problems with these parties could impair our operating results and harm our reputation. Currently, we rely primarily on third-party distributors and product manufacturers to fulfill our customers' orders. These fulfillment partners are responsible for packaging products and arranging for them to be shipped to our customers. We may be unable to ensure that our fulfillment partners fill our customers' orders accurately and that orders are shipped promptly and in appropriate packaging. In addition, we have no written contracts with some of these fulfillment partners, and our contracts with the others are generally terminable upon short notice. If any of our existing fulfillment arrangements were to be terminated, our business could be disrupted and we could incur significant costs in attempting to make alternative arrangements. Our distribution network is also heavily dependent upon third-party carriers, primarily United Parcel Service, for product shipments. UPS accounted for approximately 90% of our customer shipments by units in the nine months ended September 30, 1999. We are therefore subject to the risk that labor shortages, strikes, inclement weather or other factors may limit the ability of UPS and other carriers to meet our shipping needs. Our shippers' failure to deliver products to our customers in a timely manner would damage our brand and adversely affect our operating results. If UPS or our other existing shippers are unable or unwilling to deliver our products to our customers, we would need to arrange for alternative carriers. We may be unable to engage an alternative carrier on a timely basis or upon terms favorable to us. Changing carriers would likely disrupt our business. If we fail to expand our fulfillment operations successfully, sales could fall below expectations and we could incur unexpected costs. We must be able to fill customer orders quickly and efficiently. If we do not expand our fulfillment operations and systems to accommodate increases in demand, particularly during the peak holiday selling season, we will not be able to increase our net sales in accordance with the expectations of securities analysts and investors. We intend to add to the capacity of our distribution network by entering into agreements with additional fulfillment partners. It may be difficult for us to assimilate new partners into our distribution system in time for the 1999 holiday season or at all. We may be unable to secure these additional partners or integrate their systems and technologies into ours. If we fail to do so, we may lose sales and our reputation for prompt delivery and customer service would suffer. Even if we are successful in expanding our distribution network, our planned expansion may cause disruptions in our business and our fulfillment operations may be inadequate to accommodate increases in customer demand. High merchandise returns could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We allow our customers to return products within 45 days for a full refund. We make allowances in our financial statements for anticipated merchandise returns based on historical return rates. However, actual returns may exceed our allowances. If merchandise returns increase significantly or exceed our allowances, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. We plan to expand our inventory levels, and we may have to write down the value of our inventory if consumer demand changes after we order products. Although we currently rely primarily on our distributors and brand name suppliers to carry the inventory available for purchase on our site, we anticipate that we will carry an increasing amount of inventory and that 11 the percentage of sales made from our own inventory will rise. As a result, it will be critical to our success that we accurately predict the rapidly changing trends in consumer preferences for sporting goods, and do not overstock unpopular products. Predicting these trends is difficult. If demand for one or more of our products falls short of our expectations, we may be required to take significant inventory markdowns, which could reduce our net sales and gross margins. This risk may be greatest in the first calendar quarter of each year, after we have significantly increased inventory levels for the holiday season. In addition, to the extent that demand for our products increases over time, we may be forced to increase inventory levels. Any increase would subject us to additional inventory risks. We rely substantially on our relationships with America Online and other online services, search engines and directories to drive traffic to our web site. If these relationships do not continue, it will be difficult for us to increase market share and achieve profitability. We have relationships with America Online, Inc. and other online services, search engines and directories to provide content and advertising banners that link to our web site. We rely on these relationships as significant sources of traffic to our web site and, therefore, new customers. However, these relationships are generally terminable on short notice, and they may not be available to us in the future on acceptable terms. If we are unable to maintain satisfactory relationships with high-traffic web sites on acceptable terms, our ability to attract new customers and enhance our brand could be harmed. Further, many of the web sites with which we have existing or potential online advertising arrangements may also provide advertising services for other marketers of sporting goods. As a result, these sites may be reluctant to enter into or maintain relationships with us. Our online advertising efforts may require costly, long-term commitments. We may not achieve sufficient online traffic or product purchases to realize sufficient sales to compensate for our significant obligations to these sites. Failure to achieve sufficient traffic or generate sufficient revenue from purchases originating from third-party web sites would likely reduce our profit margins and may result in termination of these types of relationships. Without these relationships, it is unlikely that we can sufficiently increase market share and achieve profitability. Because a key element of our strategy is to generate a high volume of traffic on our web site, our business could be harmed by capacity constraints. A key element of our strategy is to generate a high volume of traffic on, and use of, our web site, www.fogdog.com. Accordingly, the satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our web site, transaction- processing systems and network infrastructure are critical to our reputation and our ability to attract and retain customers and maintain adequate customer service levels. Our revenue depends upon the number of visitors who shop on our web site and the volume of orders that we can fulfill. Any system interruptions that result in the unavailability of our web site or reduced order fulfillment would reduce the volume of goods that we sell and the attractiveness of our product offerings. We have experienced periodic system interruptions in the past, and we believe that system interruptions may continue to occur in the future. Any substantial increase in the volume of traffic on our web site or the number of orders placed by customers will require that we expand and upgrade our technology, transaction-processing systems and network infrastructure. We may not be able to accurately project the rate or timing of increases, if any, in the use of our web site or timely expand and upgrade our technology, transaction-processing systems and network infrastructure. We may not be able to accurately project the rate or timing of increases, if any, in the use of our web site or timely expand and upgrade our systems and infrastructure to accommodate these increases. Our vital computer and communications hardware and software systems are vulnerable to damage and interruption which could harm our business. Our success, in particular our ability to successfully receive and fulfill orders and provide high-quality customer service, largely depends upon the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our computer and communications hardware and software systems. We use internally developed systems for our web site and 12 some aspects of transaction processing, including customer profiling and order verifications. Our systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from: . earthquake, fire, flood and other natural disasters; . power loss, computer systems failures, Internet and telecommunications or data network failure, operator negligence, improper operation by or supervision of employees, physical and electronic loss of data or security breaches, misappropriation and similar events; and . computer viruses. In addition, we maintain our servers at the site of a third party, Exodus Communications, Inc., in Mountain View, California. We cannot control the maintenance and operation of this site, which is also susceptible to similar disasters and problems. We have no formal disaster recovery plan, and our insurance policies may not adequately compensate us for any losses that we may incur. Any system failure that causes an interruption in our service or a decrease in responsiveness could harm our relationships with our customers and result in reduced revenues. See "Business--Technology." Establishing the Fogdog brand quickly and cost-effectively is central to our success. If we do not establish the Fogdog brand quickly, we may not capture sufficient market share or increase revenues enough to achieve profitability. We believe that we must establish, maintain and enhance the Fogdog brand to attract more customers to our web site and to generate revenues from product sales. Brand recognition and customer loyalty will become increasingly important as more companies with well-established brands in online services or the sporting goods industry offer competing services on the Internet. For example, existing sporting goods retailers with established brand names may establish an online presence that competes with our web site and existing online providers with better name recognition than Fogdog Sports may begin selling sporting goods. Establishing the Fogdog brand as a widely recognized and trusted source of sporting goods will depend largely on our success in providing a high-quality online experience supported by a high level of customer service, which cannot be assured. We expect that we will need to increase substantially our spending on programs designed to create and maintain strong brand loyalty among customers and we cannot be certain that our efforts will be successful. Our inability to secure and protect our Internet domain name may adversely affect our business operation. The www.fogdog.com Internet domain name is our brand on the Internet. If we are unable to adequately protect our Internet domain name, our trademarks and other intellectual property rights, or must incur costs in doing so, it could harm our business. The acquisition and maintenance of Internet domain names generally is regulated by governmental agencies and their designees. Until recently, Network Solutions, Inc. was the exclusive registrar for the ".com," ".net" and ".org" generic top-level Internet domains in the U.S. In April 1999, however, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN, a new global non-profit corporation formed to oversee a set of the Internet's core technical management functions, opened the market for registering Internet domain names to an initial group of five companies. Network Solutions, Inc. still maintains the registry containing all the registrations in the generic top-level Internet domains. The market for registering these Internet domain names in the U.S. and in foreign countries is expected to undergo further changes in the near future. We expect the requirements for registering Internet domain names also to be affected. The relationship between regulations governing Internet domain names and laws protecting trademarks and similar proprietary rights is unclear. We may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring Internet domain names that are similar to, infringe upon or otherwise decrease the value of our Internet domain name, our trademarks and other intellectual property rights used by us and we may need to protect our rights through litigation. 13 We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, which could harm our margins and our business. The online commerce market is new, rapidly evolving and intensely competitive. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could seriously harm our net sales and results of operations. We expect competition to intensify in the future because current and new competitors can enter our market with little difficulty and can launch new web sites at a relatively low cost. In addition, the development of new technologies and the expansion of existing technologies, such as price comparison programs that select specific products from a variety of web sites, may increase competitive pressures on us. We currently or potentially compete with a variety of other companies, including: . traditional, store-based, national chain sporting goods retailers such as the Venator Group (Footlocker brands and Champs); . traditional, store-based, national chain outdoor equipment retailers, such as REI; . traditional, store-based, national chain athletic footwear retailers, such as Just for Feet; . traditional, store-based, regional chain sporting goods retailers such as The Sports Authority, Dick's Sporting Goods and Galyan's; . major discount retailers, such as Wal-Mart, Kmart and Target; . catalog sporting goods retailers, such as Eastbay, TSI and Edwin Watts; . numerous traditional local sporting goods and outdoor activity stores; . online efforts of these traditional retailers, including the online stores operated by Dick's Sporting Goods, Copeland's and REI; . vendors of sporting goods that currently sell some of their products directly online, such as K-Swiss and Patagonia; . Global Sports Interactive, a newly formed online joint venture established by The Sports Authority, The Athlete's Foot, MC Sports and Sport Chalet and which may include in the future other store-based retailers; . Internet portals and online service providers that feature shopping services, such as AOL, Excite@Home, GO Network and Lycos; . other online retailers that include sporting goods as part of their product offerings, such as Onsale and Buy.com; . physical and online stores of entertainment entities that sell sporting goods and fan memorabilia, such as ESPN.com and CBS Sportsline; and . retailers selling sporting goods exclusively online. There are no assurances that we will be able to be competitive against current or potential competitors. Many of our traditional store-based and online competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer or user bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing, technical and other resources than we do. Many of these competitors have well established relationships with manufacturers, more extensive knowledge about our industry and can devote substantially more resources to web site development and advertising. In addition, new competitors may emerge in the future and larger, well-established and well-financed entities may join with online competitors or sporting goods suppliers as the use of the Internet and other online services increases. Our competitors may be able to secure products from vendors on more favorable terms, fulfill customer orders more efficiently and adopt more aggressive pricing or inventory availability policies than we can. 14 Furthermore, our competitors may be able to secure a broader range of products from or otherwise develop close relationships with primary vendors. Some competitors may price their products below cost in an attempt to gain market share. Traditional store-based retailers also enable customers to see and feel products in a manner that is not possible over the Internet. See "Business-- Competition." We may be unable to hire and retain the skilled personnel necessary to develop our business. We intend to hire a significant number of additional marketing, engineering, merchandising and retailing personnel in 1999 and beyond. Competition for these individuals is intense, and we may not be able to attract, assimilate or retain highly qualified personnel in the future. Our business cannot continue to grow if we cannot attract qualified personnel. Our failure to attract and retain the highly trained personnel that are integral to our business may limit our growth rate, which would harm our business. We expect to face greater difficulty attracting these personnel with equity incentives as a public company than we did as a privately held company. See "Business--Employees." We are dependent upon our chief executive officer for our future success and our managers are not obligated to stay with us. Our future success depends to a significant degree on the skills, experience and efforts of Timothy Harrington, our Chief Executive Officer, and other key personnel. The loss of the services of any of these individuals could harm our business and operations. In addition, we have not obtained key person life insurance on any of our key employees. If any of our key employees left or was seriously injured and unable to work and we were unable to find a qualified replacement, our business could be harmed. We have experienced significant growth in our business in recent periods and any inability to manage this growth and any future growth could harm our business. Our historical growth has placed, and any further growth is likely to continue to place, a significant strain on our management, administrative resources, software and systems. Any failure to manage growth effectively could seriously harm our business. We have grown from 40 employees on September 30, 1998 to 96 employees on September 30, 1999. We have also recently moved into a new headquarters building and significantly expanded our operations. To be successful, we will need to continue to implement management information systems and improve our operating, administrative, financial and accounting systems and controls. We will also need to train new employees and maintain close coordination among our executive, accounting, finance, marketing, sales and operations organizations. These processes are time consuming and expensive, will increase management responsibilities and will divert management attention. If the protection of our trademarks and proprietary rights is inadequate, our brand and reputation could be damaged and we could lose customers. The steps we take to protect our proprietary rights may be inadequate. We regard our copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trade dress, trade secrets and similar intellectual property as critical to our success. We rely on trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to protect our proprietary rights. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for a third-party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our intellectual property without our authorization. We have applied to register the trademark Fogdog in the United States and internationally. Effective trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which we will sell our products and services online. If we become involved in litigation to defend our intellectual property rights, we may have to spend significant amounts of money, and the litigation could divert our management's time and efforts. 15 We may be subject to intellectual property claims that could be costly and could disrupt our business. Third parties have in the past and may in the future assert that our business or technologies infringe their intellectual property rights. From time to time, we have received notices from third parties questioning our right to present specific images or mention athletes' names on our Web site, or stating that we have infringed their trademarks or copyrights. In addition, in June 1999 we received a letter from a third party stating his belief that our Internet marketing activities infringe a patent for a home shopping device and inviting us to license this technology. We may also be accused of engaging in unfair competition or other illegal trade practices although we have not received claims of this nature to date. These claims may increase in the future. We may be unsuccessful in defending against any such claim, which could result in substantial damages, fines or other penalties. The resolution of a claim could also require us to change how we do business, redesign our web site and other systems, or enter into burdensome royalty or licensing agreements. These license or royalty agreements, if required, may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, in the event of a successful claim of infringement. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover every claim that could be asserted against us. Even unsuccessful claims could result in significant legal fees and other expenses, diversion of management's time and disruptions in our business. Any such claim could also harm our reputation and brand. We intend to expand our business internationally, causing our business to become increasingly susceptible to numerous international business risks and challenges that could affect our profitability. We believe that the current globalization of the economy requires businesses to pursue or consider pursuing international expansion. We have expanded into international markets by opening an office in London. Revenue from merchandise shipped outside the United States was approximately 9% of total merchandise revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, and we expect to increase our international sales efforts. International sales are subject to inherent risks and challenges that could affect our profitability, including: . the need to develop new supplier and manufacturer relationships, particularly because major sporting goods manufacturers may require that our international operations deal with local distributors; . unexpected changes in international regulatory requirements and tariffs; . difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations; . longer payment cycles from credit card companies; . greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection; . potential adverse tax consequences; . price controls or other restrictions on foreign currency; and . difficulties in obtaining export and import licenses. To the extent we generate international sales in the future, any negative effects on our international business could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition as a whole. In particular, gains and losses on the conversion of foreign payments into U.S. dollars may contribute to fluctuations in our results of operations and fluctuating exchange rates could cause reduced gross revenues and/or gross margins from dollar-denominated international sales. We may encounter significant difficulties in integrating our recent acquisition, Sports Universe, which could divert our management's attention and harm our business. In early September 1999, we completed the acquisition of Sports Universe, Inc. We acquired Sports Universe because we believe that we can achieve a broader and more complete product offering for our consumers by combining our products, marketing, consumer experience, distribution channels and client base with the "action sports" line of Sports Universe. We may not be able to successfully integrate the businesses and product offerings of the two companies. The process of combining the two companies and their product 16 offerings may cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, the activities of either or both of the companies' businesses, which could adversely affect their combined operations. Our management may have to divert attention from our day-to-day business and devote substantial resources to retaining employees and maintaining other relationships. If we fail to successfully complete the integration of Sports Universe, our business could be harmed. Acquisitions of companies or technologies may result in disruptions to our business and management due to difficulties in assimilating personnel and operations. We may make acquisitions or investments in other companies or technologies. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition or investment. If we make any acquisitions, we will be required to assimilate the operations, products and personnel of the acquired businesses and train, retain and motivate key personnel from the acquired businesses. We may be unable to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies if we fail in these efforts. Similarly, acquisitions may cause disruptions in our operations and divert management's attention from day-to-day operations, which could impair our relationships with our current employees, customers and strategic partners. In addition, our profitability may suffer because of acquisition- related costs or amortization costs for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. We may be subject to product liability claims or other claims that could be costly and time consuming. We sell products manufactured by third parties, some of which may be defective. If any product that we sell were to cause physical injury or injury to property, the injured party or parties could bring claims against us as the retailer of the product. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover every claim that could be asserted against us. Similarly, we could be subject to claims that users of the site were harmed due to their reliance on our product information, product selection guides and configurators, advice or instruction. If a successful claim were brought against us in excess of our insurance coverage, it could harm our business. Even unsuccessful claims could result in the expenditure of funds and management time and could have a negative impact on our business. Because of their significant stock ownership, our officers and directors will be able to exert significant control over our future direction. After this offering, our executive officers and directors, their affiliates and other substantial stockholders will together control approximately 49.3% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders, if they act together, will be able to control all matters requiring our stockholders' approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may delay, prevent or deter a change in control, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of the company or its assets and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may make changes of control difficult, even if they would be beneficial to stockholders. After this offering, the board of directors will have the authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Also, without any further vote or action on the part of the stockholders, the board of directors will have the authority to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred stock. If we issue preferred stock, it might have preference over and harm the rights of the holders of common stock. Although the availability of this preferred stock will provide us with flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, the issuance of preferred stock may make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. We currently have no plans to issue preferred stock. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws include provisions that may deter an unsolicited offer to purchase us. These provisions, coupled with the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, may delay or impede a merger, tender offer or proxy contest. Further, upon reincorporation into Delaware, our board 17 of directors will be divided into three classes, only one of which will be elected each year. Our directors will only be removable by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of all classes of voting stock. These factors may further delay or prevent a change of control. See "Description of Capital Stock--Anti- takeover Effects of Provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Delaware Law." We will rely on email and other forms of direct online marketing. Our business could suffer if these marketing techniques encounter consumer resistance or increased governmental regulation. We send emails to our registered users to obtain feedback about our online store, to provide order information and to promote repeat sales. We may expand our use of email and other direct online marketing techniques. If consumers resist these forms of communication due to concerns about privacy, computer viruses or the proliferation of commercial email, our business and reputation could be damaged. We also anticipate that our use of email and other direct online marketing techniques will be subject to increasingly stringent regulation. For example, several states have passed laws limiting the use of email for marketing purposes. To date, these laws have not had a significant effect on us because they focus primarily on unsolicited email marketing and we currently ask for our customers' permission before sending them email. However, other states and Congress have begun to consider placing restrictions on email marketing. This additional legislation could hamper our ability to provide effective customer service and generate repeat sales. If we experience significant inventory theft, our gross margin may decrease. If the security measures used at any distribution facility we use or operate do not significantly reduce or prevent inventory theft, our gross margin may significantly decrease. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, we experienced an immaterial amount of inventory theft. However, this theft may increase as we expand our fulfillment operations and distribution network. If measures we take to address inventory theft do not reduce or prevent inventory theft, our gross margin and results of operations could be significantly below expectations in future periods. Risks specific to the Internet and our industry Sporting goods consumers may not accept our online business model. This may result in slower revenue growth, loss of revenue and increased operating losses. To be successful, we must attract and retain a significant number of consumers to our web site at a reasonable cost. Any significant shortfall in the number of transactions occurring over our web site will negatively affect our financial results by increasing or prolonging operating losses. Conversion of customers from traditional shopping methods to electronic shopping may not occur as rapidly as we expect, or at all. Therefore, we may not achieve the critical mass of customer traffic we believe is necessary to become successful. Specific factors that could prevent widespread customer acceptance of our online business model, and our ability to grow our revenue, include: . customer concerns about the security of online transactions; . customer concerns about buying sporting goods, footwear and other products without first seeing them; . delivery time before customers receive Internet orders, unlike the immediate receipt of products at traditional retail outlets; . pricing that may not meet customer expectations; . customer resistance to shipping charges, which generally do not apply to purchases from traditional retail outlets; . shipment of damaged goods or wrong products from our suppliers; and . difficulties in returning or exchanging orders. 18 The success of our business model is dependent upon the continued growth of the online commerce infrastructure. Our future revenue and any future profits are also dependent upon the continued development of the online commerce infrastructure. The Internet and other online services may not be accepted as a viable commercial marketplace for a number of reasons, including potentially inadequate development of enabling technologies and performance improvements. To the extent that the Internet and other online services continue to experience significant growth in the number of users, their frequency of use or an increase in their bandwidth requirements, there can be no assurance that the infrastructure for the Internet and other online services will be able to support the demands placed upon them. In addition, the Internet or other online services could lose their viability due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols required to handle increased levels of Internet or other online service activity. Changes in or insufficient availability of telecommunications services to support the Internet or other online services could result in slower response times and adversely affect usage of the Internet and other online services, including fogdog.com. These problems would adversely affect our business and cause our stock price to decline. Sporting goods and apparel are subject to changing consumer preferences. If we fail to anticipate these changes, we will experience lower sales, higher inventory markdowns and lower margins. Our success depends upon our ability to anticipate and respond to trends in sporting goods merchandise and consumers' participation in sports. Consumers' tastes in apparel and sporting goods equipment are subject to frequent and significant changes, due in part to manufacturers' efforts to incorporate advanced technologies into some types of sporting goods. In addition, the level of consumer interest in a given sport can fluctuate dramatically. If we fail to identify and respond to changes in sporting goods merchandising and recreational sports participation, our sales could suffer and we could be required to mark down unsold inventory. This would depress our profit margins. In addition, any failure to keep pace with changes in consumers' recreational sports habits could allow our competitors to gain market share and could hurt our reputation. If we do not respond to rapid technological changes, our services could become obsolete and we could lose customers. To be competitive, we must continue to enhance and improve the functionality and features of our online store. The Internet and the online commerce industry are rapidly changing. If competitors introduce new products and services featuring new technologies, or if new industry standards and practices emerge, our existing web site and proprietary technology and systems may become obsolete. We may use new technologies ineffectively, or we may be unable to license or otherwise obtain new technologies from third parties. We may also experience difficulties in adapting our web site, the systems that we use to process customers' orders and payments, our computer network to customer requirements, new technologies or emerging industry standards. Governmental regulation may slow the Internet's growth and increase our costs of doing business. Laws and regulations directly applicable to online commerce or Internet communications are becoming more prevalent. These laws and regulations could expose us to compliance costs and substantial liability, which could materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the growth of the Internet, coupled with publicity regarding Internet fraud, may lead to the enactment of more stringent consumer protection laws. These laws would be likely to impose additional burdens on our business. The adoption of any additional laws or regulations may also inhibit the expansion of the Internet, which could reduce visits to our online store or otherwise harm our business. Moreover, the applicability to the Internet of existing laws in various jurisdictions governing issues such as qualifications to do business, property ownership, sales tax, obscenity, employment, libel, intellectual property and personal privacy is uncertain and may take years to resolve. In order to comply with new or existing laws regulating online commerce, we may need to modify the manner in which we do business, which may result in additional expenses and could slow our growth. For instance, we may need to spend time and money revising the process by which we fulfill customer orders to 19 ensure that each shipment complies with applicable laws. We may also need to revise our customer acquisition and registration processes to comply with increasingly stringent laws relating to dealing with minors online. We may need to hire additional personnel to monitor our compliance with applicable laws. We may also need to modify our software to further protect our customers' personal information. Regulations imposed by the Federal Trade Commission may adversely affect the growth of our Internet business or our marketing efforts. The Federal Trade Commission has proposed regulations regarding the collection and use of personal identifying information obtained from individuals when accessing web sites, with particular emphasis on access by minors. These regulations may include requirements that we establish procedures to disclose and notify users of privacy and security policies, obtain consent from users for collection and use of information and provide users with the ability to access, correct and delete personal information stored by us. These regulations may also include enforcement and remedial provisions. Even in the absence of those regulations, the Federal Trade Commission has begun investigations into the privacy practices of other companies that collect information on the Internet. One investigation resulted in a consent decree under which an Internet company agreed to establish programs to implement the principles noted above. We may become a party to a similar investigation or enforcement proceeding, or the Federal Trade Commission's regulatory and enforcement efforts may harm our ability to collect demographic and personal information from users, which could be costly or adversely affect our marketing efforts. Our inability to securely transmit confidential information over public networks may harm our business and cause our stock price to decline. A significant barrier to online commerce and communications is the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks. We rely upon encryption and authentication technology licensed from third parties to effect the secure transmission of confidential information, such as customer credit card numbers. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other events may result in a compromise or breach of the systems that we use to protect customer transaction data. A party who is able to circumvent our security measures may misappropriate proprietary information or customers' personal data such as credit card numbers, and could interrupt our operations. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against such security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by these breaches. In addition, security breaches may damage our reputation and cause our stock price to decline. Credit card fraud could adversely affect our business. A failure to adequately control fraudulent credit card transactions could reduce our net revenues and our gross margin because we do not carry insurance against this risk. We have put in place technology to help us detect the fraudulent use of credit card information and have not suffered material losses to date. However, we may in the future suffer losses as a result of orders placed with fraudulent credit card data even though the associated financial institution approved payment of the orders. Under current credit card practices, we are liable for fraudulent credit card transactions because we do not obtain a cardholder's signature. If one or more states successfully assert that we should collect sales or other taxes on the sale of our merchandise, our business could be harmed. We do not currently collect sales or other similar taxes for physical shipments of goods into states other than California and Pennsylvania. However, one or more local, state or foreign jurisdictions may seek to impose sales tax collection obligations on us and other out-of-state companies that engage in online commerce. If one or more states or any foreign country successfully asserts that we should collect sales or other taxes on the sale of our merchandise, it could adversely affect our business. 20 We may be subject to liability for content on our web site. As a publisher of online content, we face potential liability for defamation, negligence, copyright, right of publicity or privacy, patent or trademark infringement, or other claims based on the nature and content of materials that we publish or distribute. We have, in the past, received notices of such claims, and we expect to continue to receive such claims in the future. We may also be subject to claims based on the content on our bulletin boards. If we face liability, then our reputation and our business may suffer. In the past, plaintiffs have brought these types of claims and sometimes successfully litigated them against online services. Although we carry general liability insurance, our insurance currently does not cover claims of these types. Year 2000 issues present technological risks, could disrupt our business and could decrease our sales. Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to accept or recognize only two digit entries in the date code field. These systems and software products will need to accept four digit entries to distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. As a result, computer systems and/or software used by many companies and governmental agencies may need to be upgraded to comply with these year 2000 requirements or risk system failure or miscalculations causing disruption of normal business activities. Any failure of our material systems, our suppliers' and fulfillment partners' material systems or the Internet to be year 2000 compliant could result in financial loss to us, harm to our reputation and legal liability. We are currently assessing the year 2000 readiness of the software, computer technology and other services that we use that may not be year 2000 compliant. We have not completed all operational tests on our internal systems. Accordingly, we are unable to predict to what extent our business may be affected if our software, the systems that operate in conjunction with our software or our internal systems experience a material year 2000 failure. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Year 2000 Compliance." Risks Related to This Offering Our management has broad discretion as to how to use the proceeds from this offering and the proceeds may not be appropriately used. We intend to use the proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures, and we may use a portion of the proceeds to acquire other businesses, products or technologies. We will in any case have broad discretion over how we use these proceeds. You will not have the opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other information on which we base our decisions regarding how to use the proceeds from this offering, and we may spend these proceeds in ways with which you may disagree. Pending any of these uses, we plan to invest the proceeds of this offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. We cannot predict whether these investments will yield a favorable return. See "Use of Proceeds." The price of our common stock after this offering may be lower than the offering price you pay and may be volatile. Prior to this offering, our common stock has not been sold in a public market. After this offering, an active trading market in our stock might not develop. If an active trading market develops, it may not continue. Moreover, if an active market develops, the trading price of our common stock may fluctuate widely as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. In addition, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices of many Internet related companies, and which have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. A significant decline in our stock price could result in substantial losses for individual stockholders and could lead to costly and disruptive securities litigation. 21 If you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will pay a price that was not established in a competitive market. Rather, you will pay a price that we negotiated with the representatives of the underwriters based upon a number of factors. The price of our common stock that will prevail in the market after this offering may be higher or lower than the offering price. See "Underwriting." You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the value of your shares following this offering. If you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution, in that the price you pay per share will be substantially greater than our net tangible book value per share, or the per share value of our assets after subtracting our liabilities. Specifically, purchasers of shares of our common stock in this offering will contribute 56.3% of the total amount paid to fund our company but will own only 16.8% of our outstanding shares. Additionally, if the holders of outstanding options and warrants exercise their options or warrants, you will experience further dilution. See "Dilution". Substantial amounts of our common stock could be sold in the near future, which could depress our stock price. Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock, and we cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of common stock or the availability of shares of common stock for sale will have on the market price of the common stock prevailing from time to time. If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market following this offering, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, the trading price of our common stock could fall. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate. Upon completion of this offering, based upon shares outstanding as of September 1999, we will have 35,665,236 shares of common stock outstanding, assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option and no exercise of outstanding options and warrants. All of the shares we are selling in this offering may be resold in the public market immediately. Another 29,602,871 shares are subject to lock-up agreements and will become available for resale in the public market beginning 180 days after the date of this prospectus. As restrictions on resale end, our stock price could drop significantly if the holders of these restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. See "Shares Available for Future Sale." CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, our beliefs and assumptions. We use words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates" and variations of these words and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include those described in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our management's view only as of the date of this prospectus. We undertake no obligation to update these statements or publicly release the result of any revision to the forward-looking statements that we may make to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. 22 USE OF PROCEEDS Our net proceeds from the sale and issuance of the 6,000,000 shares of common stock offered are estimated to be $48.7 million at an assumed initial public offering price of $9.00 per share after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses. If the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full, our estimated net proceeds will be $56.3 million. We intend to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including marketing and sales activities, working capital and capital expenditures, but we have no specific plans for use of the net proceeds of this offering. Pending these uses, we will invest the net proceeds of the offering in short-term, interest-bearing investment-grade securities. See "Risk Factors--Our management has broad discretion as to how to use the proceeds from this offering and the proceeds may not be appropriately used." In addition, we may use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in complementary businesses or products or to obtain the right to use complementary technologies. We currently have no agreements or commitments with respect to any acquisition or investment, and we are not involved in any negotiations with respect to any similar transaction. DIVIDEND POLICY We have never declared or paid dividends on our capital stock and do not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Payments of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs and plans for expansion. Our credit facility with Imperial Bank prohibits us from paying dividends without prior approval. 23 CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth our capitalization as of September 30, 1999 on the following three bases: . on an actual basis; . on a pro forma basis giving effect to the conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into shares of common stock effective upon the completion of this offering; and . on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect each of the adjustments listed above and the estimated net proceeds from the sale of 6,000,000 shares of our common stock at an assumed initial public offering price of $9.00 per share after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses. You should read this table in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

The number of shares outstanding as of September 30, 1999 excludes: . 4,502,885 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options outstanding as of September 30, 1999 at a weighted average exercise price of $1.15 per share. . 6,296,631 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan that incorporates our Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Option Plan; . 500,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan; . 4,114,349 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of an outstanding warrant held by Nike USA, Inc. at an exercise price of $1.54 per share; and . 204,782 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants at a weighted average exercise price of $1.97 per share. For additional information regarding these shares, see "Management--Benefit Plans," "Description of Capital Stock" and Notes 7, 8 and 11 of Notes to Financial Statements. 24 DILUTION If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. Our pro forma net tangible book value at September 30, 1999, was approximately $48.9 million, or $1.65 per share of common stock. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to the conversion of all outstanding convertible preferred stock. After giving effect to the sale of 6,000,000 shares of our common stock at an assumed initial public offering price of $9.00 per share, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, our pro forma net tangible book value at September 30, 1999, would have been $97.6 million, or $2.74 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $1.09 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $6.26 per share to new investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering. The following table illustrates this dilution: Assumed initial public offering price per share................... $9.00 Pro forma net tangible book value per share at September 30, 1999........................................................... $1.65 Increase per share attributable to new investors................ 1.09 ----- Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering......................................................... 2.74 ----- Dilution per share to new investors............................... $6.26 =====
The following table summarizes, at September 30, 1999, on a pro forma as adjusted basis, the total number of shares and consideration paid to us and the average price per share paid by existing stockholders and by new investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share and before deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses:
Shares Purchased Total Consideration ------------------ ------------------- Average Price Number Percent Amount Percent Per Share ---------- ------- ----------- ------- ------------- Existing stockholders...... 29,665,236 83.2% $41,937,000 43.7% $1.41 New public investors....... 6,000,000 16.8 54,000,000 56.3 9.00 ---------- ----- ----------- ----- Totals................... 35,665,236 100.0% $95,937,000 100.0% ========== ===== =========== =====
The above computations are based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 1999 and exclude: . 4,502,885 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options outstanding as of September 30, 1999 at a weighted average exercise price of $1.15 per share; . 6,296,631 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan that incorporates our Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Option Plan; . 500,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan; . 4,114,349 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of an outstanding warrant held by Nike USA, Inc. at an exercise price of $1.54 per share; and . 204,782 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants at a weighted average exercise price of $1.97 per share. To the extent that any of these options or warrants are exercised, there could be further dilution to new investors. For additional information regarding these shares, see "Capitalization," "Management--Benefit Plans," "Description of Capital Stock" and Notes 7, 8 and 11 of Notes to Financial Statements. 25 SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA You should read the following selected financial data in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included elsewhere herein. The statement of operations data for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, and the balance sheet data as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, are derived from the audited financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The statement of operations data for the period from inception (October 28, 1994) to December 31, 1994 and for the year ended December 31, 1995, and the balance sheet data as of December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, are derived from the audited financial statements not included elsewhere in this prospectus. The statement of operations data for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 and the balance sheet data as of September 30, 1999 are derived from the unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of this information when read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes. The diluted net loss per share computation excludes potential shares of common stock (preferred stock, options and warrants to purchase common stock and common stock subject to repurchase rights that we hold), since their effect would be antidilutive. See Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements for a detailed explanation of the determination of the shares used to compute actual and pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share. The historical results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for future periods.

26 SELECTED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA Effective September 3, 1999, Fogdog Sports merged with Sports Universe, Inc. Sports Universe sells equipment and apparel for wakeboarding, waterskiing, inline skating, surfing and skateboarding on the Internet. The merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their fair values as of the acquisition date. The total purchase price of approximately $2.1 million consisted of 266,665 shares of Fogdog Sports common stock with an estimated fair value of approximately $8.00 per share and other acquisition related expenses of approximately $30,000, consisting primarily of payments for professional fees. The purchase price was allocated as follows: $451,000 to net tangible liabilities assumed and $2.6 million to goodwill. The acquired goodwill will be amortized over its estimated useful life of two years. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations gives effect to this merger as if it had occurred on February 9, 1998 (inception) by consolidating the results of operations of Sports Universe from inception through December 31, 1998 and the nine months ended September 30, 1999 with the results of operations of Fogdog Sports. See Note B to Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information for a description of the method used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share.

27 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include, among others, those statements including the words "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "believes" and similar language. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this prospectus. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, the risks discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in this prospectus. Overview We are a leading Internet retailer focused exclusively on sporting goods. We currently offer an extensive selection of competitively priced sporting goods consisting of up to 60,000 distinct stock keeping units representing more than 500 brands in all major sports categories. We were incorporated in October 1994. From our inception through July 1998, we were engaged in providing web development and design services to sporting goods manufacturers, trade associations, retailers and other industry members. In July 1997, we launched a web site, "SportSite.com," and established partnerships with sporting goods catalog and distribution companies to process orders, manage inventory and ship goods directly to customers. In the third quarter of 1998, we phased out the design services portion of our business to focus exclusively on online retail. In November 1998, we changed our name to Fogdog, Inc. and the name of our web site to "fogdog.com." We derive our revenue from the sale of sporting goods from our web site. Merchandise revenue is recognized when goods are shipped to our customers from manufacturers, distributors or third-party warehouses, which occurs only after credit card authorization. For sales of merchandise, we are responsible for pricing, processing and fulfilling the orders. We process merchandise returns and bear the credit risk for these transactions. We generally allow returns for any reason within 45 days of the sale. Accordingly, we provide for allowances for estimated future returns at the time of shipment based on historical data. Historically, our rate of product returns has ranged between 8% and 10% of total revenues, but our future return rates could differ significantly from our historical averages. Currently, less than 15% of our transactions are shipped from inventory held at third-party warehouses. We expect this percentage to increase in future periods. From October 1994 through March 1999, we derived revenue from commissions. Our commission revenue was earned from transactions processed through our online stores, fogdog.com and SportSite.com, whereby we obtained and processed customer orders in exchange for a commission on the sale of the vendor's merchandise. At the conclusion of the sale, we forwarded the order information to the vendor, which then charged the customer's credit card and shipped the merchandise directly to the customer. We recognized commission revenue when we forwarded the order to the vendor. In a commission sale transaction, we did not take title or possession of the merchandise, and the vendor bore all the risk of credit card chargebacks and merchandise returns. When we launched our fogdog.com web site in November 1998, we began to take title to our own merchandise and also to bear customer credit and return risk on a substantial number of our transactions. In April 1999, we began to take title to the merchandise on all transactions processed on our web site. We have also earned commission revenue from transactions processed on several client sites, which has been immaterial to date. From October 1994 to July 1998, we also earned revenue from web development. Revenue from the sale of web development services was recognized when we had the right to invoice the customer, the collection of the receivable was probable, there were no significant obligations remaining and the client's web site was either placed on-line or completed to the client's satisfaction. We terminated our web development services in July 1998, and transitioned our remaining support obligations to a third party. 28 We have incurred substantial costs to develop our web site and to recruit, train and compensate personnel for our creative, engineering, sales, marketing, merchandising, customer service and administration departments. As a result, we have incurred substantial losses since inception and, as of September 30, 1999, had an accumulated deficit of $20.9 million. In order to expand our business, we intend to invest heavily in sales, marketing, merchandising, operations, site development and additional personnel to support these activities. We therefore expect to continue to incur substantial operating losses for the foreseeable future. We had 96 full-time employees as of September 30, 1999 and intend to hire a significant number of employees in the future. This expansion will place significant demands on our management and our operational resources. To manage this rapid growth, we must invest in and implement operational systems, procedures and controls that can be expanded easily. We expect future expansion to continue to challenge our ability to hire, train, manage and retain employees. In September 1999, we purchased Sports Universe, Inc., and Sports Universe became our wholly owned subsidiary. Sports Universe derives its revenue primarily from the sales of sporting goods from its web site, "sportsuniverse.com." Sports Universe is a Delaware corporation that is based in Austin, Texas and has fewer than 10 full-time employees. In the merger, we exchanged 266,665 shares of our common stock for all outstanding shares of Sports Universe capital stock. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method. We have recorded goodwill of approximately $2.6 million, which will be amortized over a two-year period, in connection with the merger. Results of Operations The following table presents selected financial data for the periods indicated as a percentage of total net revenues.

29 Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 Net Revenues We had no merchandise revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Our merchandise revenue resulted from customer transactions on our fogdog.com web site. In November 1998, we began taking title to our own merchandise and bearing the credit risk on an increasing number of transactions. Revenue from merchandise shipped outside the United States was approximately 9% of total merchandise revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Commission revenue was $69,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and $35,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease in commission revenue was due to the elimination of commission transactions in March 1999. Web development revenue was $447,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, and we had no web development revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. We terminated our web development services in July 1998. Cost of Revenues Cost of merchandise revenue consists of product, shipping and handling costs, and credit card processing fees. We incurred no cost of merchandise revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, and cost of merchandise revenue was $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. As a percentage of merchandise revenue, cost of merchandise revenue was 81% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. We began to incur cost of merchandise revenue as we began taking title to our own merchandise and bearing customer credit risk. Cost of web development revenue consists of third-party fees and salaries and related costs for site development and maintenance on behalf of clients. Cost of web development revenue was $99,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, and we had no cost of web development revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease in the cost of web development revenue in dollars was due to the elimination of our hosting and maintenance activity. Gross Profit Gross profit was $405,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and $507,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. As a percentage of total net revenues, gross profit was 78% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 20% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease in gross profit in dollars and as a percentage of total net revenues was due to the shift in our revenue from web development services to the sale of merchandise on our web site. Marketing and Sales Expenses Our marketing and sales expenses consist primarily of advertising and promotional expenditures, distribution facility expenses, including equipment and supplies, credit card verification fees and payroll and related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing, merchandising, customer service and distribution activities. Marketing and sales expenses were $997,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. As a percentage of net revenues, marketing and sales expenses were 193% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 419% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in marketing and sales expenses in dollars and as a percentage of net revenues was attributable to an increase in advertising and merchandising, customer service, distribution, and marketing personnel and related costs as we continued to expand our online store and establish the Fogdog brand. In September 1999, we entered into an agreement with Nike USA, Inc. to distribute Nike products on our web site. In connection with this agreement, we granted Nike a warrant to purchase 4,114,349 shares of our 30 common stock at an exercise price of $1.54 per share. Our sales and marketing expenses in each quarter over the two-year term of the agreement will include a portion of the warrant's estimated fair value of approximately $28.8 million, calculated on a straight-line basis. We expect to continue to substantially increase our marketing and promotional efforts and hire additional marketing, merchandising, customer service and operations personnel. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999 we amortized $463,000 of expense related to the Nike warrant. Site Development Expenses Our site development expenses consist of payroll and related expenses for web site development and information technology personnel, Internet access, hosting charges and logistics engineering, and web content and design expenses. Site development expenses were $737,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. As a percentage of net revenues, site development expenses were 143% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 86% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in site development expenses in dollars was due to the introduction and enhancement of our fogdog.com web site in November 1998 and subsequent enhancements. We expect to continue to make substantial investments in site development and anticipate that site development expenses will continue to increase. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses consist of payroll and related expenses for executive and administrative personnel, facilities expenses, professional service expenses and other general corporate expenses. General and administrative expenses were $457,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses were 89% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 46% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in general and administrative expenses in dollars was due to increased personnel and related costs to support the implementation of our business strategy. The decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues was due to the growth in merchandise revenue without a proportionate increase in general and administrative expenses. We expect that general and administrative expenses will increase substantially as we add personnel and incur additional costs related to the anticipated growth of our business and operation as a public company. Amortization of Stock-Based Compensation In connection with the grant of employee stock options, we recorded aggregate unearned stock-based compensation of $12.1 million through September 30, 1999. Employee stock-based compensation expense is amortized over the vesting period of the options, which is generally four years, using the multiple-option approach. We expect to record employee stock-based compensation expenses of approximately $1.5 million for the quarter ending December 31, 1999, $1.5 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2000 and $1.4 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2000. We anticipate this expense to decrease in future periods. Unearned stock-based compensation expense will be reduced in future periods to the extent that options are terminated prior to full vesting. Interest Income (Expense), Net Interest income (expense), net consists of interest earned on cash and short-term investments, offset by interest expense related to bank borrowings and other financing lines. Interest income (expense), net was $2,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and $276,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in interest income was due to higher average cash balances from additional sales of preferred stock completed in the first three quarters of 1999. Other Income Other income consists of the proceeds we received when we transitioned our remaining web development service obligations to a third-party, which was completed in the third quarter of 1998. 31 Years Ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 Net Revenues We had no merchandise revenue for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, and merchandise revenue of $195,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. Our merchandise revenue resulted from customer transactions on our fogdog.com web site. In November 1998, we began taking title to our own merchandise and bearing the credit risk on an increasing number of transactions. Our merchandise revenue increased due to an increase in the number of merchandise transactions processed on our web site. Revenue from merchandise shipped outside the United States was approximately 6% of total merchandise revenue for the year ended December 31, 1998. We had no commission revenue for the year ended December 31, 1996. Commission revenue was $11,000 and $123,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. This increase in commission revenue was due to an increased number of commission transactions processed on our web site. Web development revenue was $677,000, $1.0 million and $447,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The increase in web development revenue from 1996 to 1997 was due to an increase in the number of development contracts that we signed. The decrease in web development revenue from 1997 to 1998 occurred as we shifted our focus from being a web development services provider to an online retailer. Cost of Revenues We had no cost of merchandise revenue for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, and cost of merchandise revenue was $157,000 or 81% of merchandise revenue for the year ended December 31, 1998. We began to incur cost of merchandise revenue as we began to take title to the merchandise and bear the credit risk prior to delivery to the customer. Cost of commission revenue consists of the value of services rendered and fees paid to trade associations. We had no cost of commission revenue for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, and cost of commission revenue was $19,000 or 15% of commission revenue for the year ended December 31, 1998. We had no commission revenue in 1996. We had no cost of commission revenue for 1997 because all commission revenue in 1997 was derived from third-party web sites for which we incurred no verification fees. Cost of web development revenue was $90,000, $156,000 and $99,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. As a percentage of web development revenue, cost of web development revenue was 13%, 15% and 22% for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The increase in the cost of web development revenue in dollars and as a percentage of web development revenue from 1996 to 1997 was attributable to an increase in our hosting and maintenance activity for which we incurred initial start-up costs. The decrease in the cost of web development revenue in dollars and as a percentage of web development revenue from 1997 to 1998 was due to a reduction of our hosting and maintenance activity as we shifted our focus from being a web development services provider to an online retailer. Gross Profit Gross profit was $587,000, $885,000 and $490,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. As a percentage of total net revenues, gross profit was 87%, 85% and 64% for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The increase in gross profit from 1996 to 1997 was due to an increase in web development revenue. The decrease in gross profit in dollars and as a percentage of total net revenues from 1997 to 1998 was due to the shift in our revenue from web development to the sale of merchandise. Marketing and Sales Expenses Marketing and sales expenses were $686,000, $1.3 million and $2.4 million for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. As a percentage of net revenues, marketing and sales expenses were 101%, 123% and 314% for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. 32 The increase in dollars and as a percentage of net revenues from 1996 to 1997 was attributable to an increase in personnel and related costs required to implement our sales and marketing strategy. The increase in marketing and sales expenses in dollars and as a percentage of net revenues from 1997 to 1998 was attributable to an increase in advertising and merchandising, customer service, distribution, and marketing personnel and related costs. Site Development Expenses Site development expenses were $119,000, $259,000 and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. As a percentage of net revenues, site development expenses were 18%, 25% and 172% for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The increase in site development expenses in dollars and as a percentage of net revenues from 1996 to 1997 was due to the introduction and enhancement of the SportSite.com web site and subsequent enhancements. The increase in dollars and as a percentage of net revenues from 1997 to 1998 was due to the introduction and enhancement of our fogdog.com web site and the development of technologies for integrating with our suppliers. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses were $248,000, $378,000 and $705,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses were 37%, 36% and 92% for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses in dollars and as a percentage of net revenues was due to increased personnel and related costs to support the implementation of our business strategy. Amortization of Stock-Based Compensation In connection with the grant of employee stock options, we recorded aggregate unearned stock-based compensation of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 which is being amortized over a four-year vesting period using the multiple-option approach. Interest Income (Expense), Net Interest income (expense), net was $(3,000), $(8,000) and $29,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The increase in interest income (expense), net was due to higher average cash balances from additional sales of securities completed in the second quarter of 1998. Other Income Other income consists of the proceeds we received when we transitioned our remaining web development service obligations to a third-party, which was completed in the third quarter of 1998. Provision for Income Taxes We have incurred operating losses for all periods from inception through June 30, 1999, and therefore have not recorded a provision for income taxes. Our deferred tax asset primarily consists of net operating loss carryforwards and nondeductible accruals and allowances. We have recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of our net deferred tax assets, as the future realization of the tax benefit is not currently likely. As of December 31, 1998, we had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state tax purposes of approximately $4.3 million and $4.7 million, respectively. These federal and state tax loss carryforwards are available to reduce future taxable income and expire at various dates into the year 2019. We expect that the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that could be utilized annually in the future to offset taxable income will be limited by "change in ownership" provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. This annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards before their utilization. 33 Quarterly Results of Operations and Seasonality The following tables set forth a summary of our unaudited quarterly operating results for each of the seven quarters in the period ended September 30, 1999. This information has been derived from our unaudited financial statements which, in management's opinion, have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements contained elsewhere in this prospectus and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of this information when read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related notes. The amount and timing of our operating expenses generally will vary from quarter to quarter depending on our level of actual and anticipated business activities. Our revenue and operating results are difficult to forecast and will fluctuate, and we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results will not necessarily be meaningful. As a result, you should not rely upon them as an indication of future performance.

34 Commencing with the launch of our fogdog.com web site in November 1998, our merchandise revenue has increased during each quarter. These increases resulted from growth in the number of customers and products available for sale on our web site. Cost of merchandise revenue increased from the fourth quarter of 1998 through the second quarter of 1999 as we increased merchandise sales. Our cost of merchandise revenue as a percentage of net revenues increased from the fourth quarter of 1998 to the first and second quarters of 1999 due to increased shipping and handling costs. Marketing and sales expenses increased each quarter from the first quarter of 1998 through the third quarter of 1999 as we began online and offline advertising and as we launched the fogdog.com web site in the fourth quarter of 1998. We also increased personnel and related expenses required to implement our marketing and sales strategy. Site development expenses increased each quarter from the first quarter of 1998 through the fourth quarter of 1998 as we began enhancing our web site to accommodate the increased transaction volume and product offerings for the holiday season. After completion of the launch of our fogdog.com web site in the fourth quarter of 1998, site development expenses decreased from the fourth quarter of 1998 to the first quarter of 1999 as we did not have any launch related expenses. Site development expenses increased from the first quarter of 1999 through the third quarter of 1999 as we increased spending on design and content to develop additional specialty shops. General and administrative expenses increased each quarter from the first quarter of 1998 through the third quarter of 1999 as we increased personnel and related expenses to support our new business strategy. We expect our business to be highly seasonal, reflecting the general pattern associated with the retail industry of peak sales and earnings during the fourth quarter. We believe that a substantial portion of our annual sales will occur in the fourth quarter. We expect to experience lower sales during the other quarters, and as is typical in the retail industry, have incurred and may continue to incur greater losses in these quarters. See "Risk Factors--Seasonal fluctuations in the sales of sporting goods could cause wide fluctuations in our quarterly results." Results of Operations--Sports Universe We acquired Sports Universe, Inc. in September 1999. Since its inception in February 1998, Sports Universe has incurred operating losses. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, Sports Universe recorded revenue of approximately $262,000 from the sale of merchandise on its web site and from web design services, and incurred a net loss of $63,000. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, Sports Universe incurred total operating expenses of approximately $170,000, which consisted primarily of personnel and related costs for marketing, sales and administrative staff. At June 30, 1999, Sports Universe had negative working capital of $571,000 and an accumulated deficit of $549,000. Liquidity and Capital Resources Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily from private sales of convertible preferred stock totaling $38.8 million and, to a lesser extent, from bank borrowings and lease financing. Our operating activities used cash of $399,000 during 1996, $915,000 during 1997, $3.0 million during 1998 and $11.8 million during the first nine months of 1999. This negative operating cash flow resulted primarily from our net losses experienced during these periods. In 1998 and 1999, we invested in the development of our brand and online store, hired additional personnel and expanded our technology infrastructure to support our growth. Our investing activities, consisting of purchases of furniture, fixtures and computer equipment to support our growing number of employees, used cash of $137,000 during 1996, $81,000 during 1997, $692,000 during 1998 and $497,000 during the first nine months of 1999. 35 Our financing activities generated cash of $971,000 during 1996, $836,000 during 1997, $5.0 million during 1998 and $32.4 million during the first nine months of 1999. Of these financing activities, the issuance of convertible preferred stock generated net proceeds of $945,000 during 1996, $528,000 during 1997, $4.8 million during 1998 and $32.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. We also had proceeds from bank borrowings of $452,000 in 1998. At September 30, 1999, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments aggregating $21.9 million. Our short-term investments secure a letter of credit issued in connection with the lease of our corporate offices. We have an agreement with a bank, which provides us with the ability to borrow up to $1.0 million, subject to specified limitations. The agreement provides for the following: . an equipment loan for $800,000, payable in 24 equal installments commencing October 15, 1999, limited to 75% of the invoice amount of the equipment; and . an equipment term loan for $150,000 payable in 24 equal installments commencing January 28, 1999. We had an outstanding aggregate balance at September 30, 1999 of $877,000. Interest on the borrowings range from the prime rate plus one-half percent to the prime rate plus one percent and is payable monthly. We must meet financial covenants with respect to the borrowings, which we were in compliance with at September 30, 1999. We also have an agreement with a software company to purchase software under a one-year loan agreement which bears interest at 7.5%. The principal and interest is payable in 12 equal monthly installments beginning in October 1998. We had an outstanding balance at September 30, 1999 of $19,000. During 1999, we entered into a number of commitments for online and traditional offline advertising. As of September 30, 1999, our remaining commitments were approximately $4.0 million. In addition, we have remaining commitments under the lease for our headquarters of $4.8 million. We expect to devote substantial resources to continue development of our brand and online store, expand our sales, support, marketing and engineering organizations, establish additional facilities worldwide and build the systems necessary to support our growth. Although we believe that the proceeds of this offering, together with our current cash and cash equivalents and our borrowing capacity, will be sufficient to fund our activities for at least the next 12 months, there can be no assurance that we will not require additional financing within this time frame or that additional funding, if needed, will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. In addition, although there are no present understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisition of other businesses, products or technologies, we may, from time to time, evaluate potential acquisitions of other businesses, products and technologies. In order to consummate potential acquisitions, we may issue additional securities or need additional equity or debt financing and these financings may be dilutive to existing investors. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1 is effective for financial statements for years beginning after December 15, 1998. SOP 98-1 provides guidance over accounting for computer software developed or obtained for internal use including the requirements to capitalize specified costs and amortization of such costs. The adoption of the provisions of SOP 98-1 during our fiscal year beginning January 1, 1999 did not have a material effect on our financial statements. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133 36 establishes accounting and reporting standards of derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for other hedging activities. SFAS 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 1999. In July 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133." SFAS 137 deferred the effective date until the first fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2000. We will adopt SFAS 133 in our quarter ending June 30, 2000. We do not currently engage in hedging activities or invest in derivative instruments. Year 2000 Compliance Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to accept or recognize only two digit entries in the date code field. These systems and software products will need to accept four digit entries to distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. As a result, computer systems and/or software used by many companies and governmental agencies may need to be upgraded to comply with Year 2000 requirements or risk system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of normal business activities. In the second quarter of 1999, we initiated a Year 2000 compliance program. The program is being directed by our information technology group. Our IT group is charged with identifying issues of potential risk within each department and making the appropriate evaluation, modification, upgrade or replacement. Members of our IT group have worked with members of each of our principal internal divisions in the course of assessing our Year 2000 compliance. Scope of Year 2000 Assessment The scope of our Year 2000 compliance program included testing our web site and the IT and non-IT systems used in our business at our headquarters and at our third-party warehouses. The operational areas that we investigated include: . software applications; . facilities; . suppliers and vendors, including distributors; and . computer systems. We do not currently have information concerning the Year 2000 compliance status of all of our vendors and distributors. If our suppliers, distributors and manufacturers fail to achieve Year 2000 compliance, our business could suffer. Budget and Schedule We have funded our Year 2000 plan from available cash and have not separately accounted for these expenses in the past. As a result of our short operating history, we believe that most of our third-party systems were purchased in Year 2000 compliant condition. To date, expenditures for Year 2000 compliance have not been material and have totaled less than $150,000. Most of our expenses have related to, and are expected to continue to relate to, the operating costs associated with time spent by employees in the evaluation process and Year 2000 compliance matters generally. We expect to incur no more than an additional $100,000 to verify that our IT and non-IT systems are capable of properly distinguishing between 20th century and 21st century dates. However, we may experience unanticipated, material problems and expenses associated with Year 2000 compliance that could harm our business. Finally, we are also subject to external forces that might generally affect industry and commerce, such as Year 2000 compliance failures by utility or transportation companies and related service interruptions. 37 We have not yet completed the evaluation of our web site and our third-party software systems. We are in the process of obtaining Year 2000 assurances from our principal third-party hardware vendors and service providers, and installing Year 2000 "patch kits", where appropriate. We anticipate concluding these activities by the end of November 1999. Internal Third-Party Hardware and Software Systems and Services We have evaluated all of our material internal third-party hardware and software systems we use on our web site and in our business. We have received written assurances of Year 2000 compliance from substantially all of the providers of hardware used in our business. We have identified approximately 20 different software vendors that provide software products for our web site and in our business. We have received adequate assurances of Year 2000 compliance from substantially all of our software vendors. We have determined that the current version of our server software is not Year 2000 compliant and are upgrading it to a Year 2000 compliant version, which we expect to complete by the end of November 1999. If any of the assurances we have received from our third-party software or hardware providers are false, our internal systems and our ability to ship our product would be materially harmed. We have also obtained assurances as to Year 2000 compliance from our hosting service provider and we are in the process of obtaining written assurances from our other third-party service providers. We expect to receive assurances from such entities without additional expenditures by us. We have made written inquiry of all of our current vendors and distributors and 67% of these entities responded to our request. Of those entities all but one vendor have provided us with written assurances as to Year 2000 compliance. We are working with the remaining vendor, an equipment supplier in one of our sports categories, to assess how its failure to be Year 2000 compliant will affect our business. We are attempting to obtain Year 2000 compliance assurance from the vendors and distributors that did not respond to our request. We cannot assure you that we will obtain Year 2000 assurances from these entities, and if they do not upgrade their systems for Year 2000 compliance, our ability to ship products would be materially impaired. Contingency Plan We expect our compliance program to be substantially completed by the end of November 1999. If we encounter delays or are unable to meet this schedule, we will engage in testing and re-testing of non-compliant areas and develop a back up plan which we would expect to complete by December 1999. We may discover Year 2000 compliance problems in our systems that will require substantial revision. In addition, third-party software, hardware or services incorporated into our business or used in our web site may need to be revised or replaced, all of which could be time-consuming and expensive and result in the following, any of which could adversely affect our business: . delay or loss of revenue; . diversion of development and information technology resources; . damage to our reputation; and . litigation costs. Our failure to fix or replace our third-party software, hardware or services on a timely basis could result in lost revenues, increased operating costs, the loss of customers and other business interruptions. 38 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk We currently market our merchandise in the United States and anticipate expanding our marketing efforts in Europe in late 1999 and throughout 2000. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors including changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. As all sales are currently made in U.S. dollars, a strengthening of the dollar could make our products less competitive in foreign markets. Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, particularly since the majority of our investments are in short-term instruments. Due to the short-term nature of our investments, we believe that there is no material risk exposure. Therefore, no quantitative tabular disclosures are required. 39 BUSINESS Fogdog Sports is a leading online retailer of sporting goods. We have designed fogdog.com, our online store, to offer an extensive product selection, detailed product information and other value-added services. We believe that we offer the largest selection of sporting goods online, with up to 60,000 distinct stock keeping units representing more than 500 brands in all major sports categories. According to Media Metrix, Inc., our web site received more visits during September 1999 than any other online retailer focusing exclusively on sporting goods. Fogdog.com features a collection of specialty shops, including soccer, baseball, golf, outdoors, fan/memorabilia and other popular categories, organized to appeal to a broad base of customers from the avid enthusiast to the occasional participant. We provide information and analysis authored by our own experts, helpful shopping services, innovative merchandising and an emphasis on customer service to help customers make more educated purchasing decisions. We offer customers the convenience and flexibility of shopping 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which makes fogdog.com the "anytime, anywhere, sports store." We intend to establish Fogdog as the first global brand for retail sporting goods, and in the process build consumer trust, confidence and loyalty. Industry Overview Electronic Commerce. The Internet is an increasingly significant medium for communication, information exchange and commerce. Forrester Research estimates that online purchases by U.S. consumers will grow from approximately $20 billion in 1999 to $184 billion by 2004, representing a compound annual growth rate of 56%. International Data Corporation estimates that the number of total online purchasers will grow from approximately 31 million in 1998 to 183 million in 2003, representing a compound annual growth rate of 43%. Forrester Research projects that U.S. consumers will purchase $4.2 billion of sporting goods online in 2004. We believe that growth in Internet usage is being fueled primarily by easier and cheaper access to the Internet and improvements in network security, infrastructure and bandwidth. We believe that these trends are also helping to fuel the growth and consumer acceptance of online commerce. The Internet provides a number of advantages for online retailers. Because online retailers are not constrained by shelf space or catalog page limitations, they are able to "display" a larger number of products at a lower cost than traditional store-based or catalog retailers. In addition, online retailers can more easily and frequently adjust their featured selections, editorial content and pricing, providing significant merchandising flexibility. Online retailers also benefit from the ability to reach a large group of customers from a central location, and the potential for low-cost customer interaction. Unlike traditional retail channels, online retailers do not have the burdensome costs of managing and maintaining a retail store infrastructure or the significant printing and mailing costs of catalogs. Online retailers also can more easily obtain demographic and behavioral data about customers, increasing their opportunities for targeted marketing and personalized services. Traditional Sporting Goods Industry. We believe that the sporting goods industry, which includes apparel, equipment and athletic footwear, is large and growing. According to the Sports Business Research Network, total U.S. retail sales of sporting goods were approximately $77 billion in 1998 and have grown at a 6.8% compound annual rate since 1994. Additionally, according to Sports Trend, a trade publication, in 1998 the top five U.S.-based sporting goods specialty retailers, excluding mass merchandisers, accounted for only $6.6 billion of total industry sales, demonstrating the highly fragmented nature of the sporting goods retail market. According to the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association, the number of people who actively participate in sports, fitness and outdoor activities grew 19% from 68.5 million in 1987 to 81.6 million in 1996. We believe that the sporting goods industry will continue to benefit from the continued growth in participation and interest in sports, recreation, health, fitness and outdoor activities. Limitations of the Traditional Sporting Goods Retail Channel. The traditional sporting goods retail channel is fragmented, including mass merchant retailers and discount stores, regional or national chain stores, local specialty shops and mail order catalogers. Mass merchant retailers and discount stores often offer 40 attractive pricing. However, they typically offer only a limited selection of each brand's products and lack trained, knowledgeable sales people. Local and regional chain stores often have a broader line of branded products, but lack extensive product knowledge at the individual store level. Specialty stores such as golf and ski shops may offer better customer service, but with higher prices and a narrower selection. Mail order catalogers typically focus on one sport category, and are limited by catalog space constraints in offering either extensive selection or in-depth product information. As a result of these factors, we believe that the traditional retail channel for sporting goods fails to satisfy fully consumers' desire for selection, product information, expert advice, personalized service and convenience. We believe that, in addition to failing to fully satisfy the needs of the customer, the traditional sporting goods retail channel presents significant limitations for manufacturers. Traditional sporting goods retailers often do not provide manufacturers global distribution or proper and consistent brand merchandising and allow discounts below minimum advertised price policy. In addition, traditional sporting goods retailers cannot offer manufacturers unlimited shelf space, full product line presentation with high-quality product information and extensive customer service with knowledgeable salespersons. Similarly, traditional retailers offer manufacturers limited flexibility in how a product is sold and presented directly to the consumer. Taken together, we believe that these factors serve to make the traditional retail sporting goods experience inefficient and inconvenient for both customers and manufacturers. The Fogdog Sports Solution We have designed our online store to offer an extensive product selection, detailed product information and other value-added services to address the limitations of the traditional sporting goods retail channel for customers and manufacturers. With up to 60,000 distinct stock keeping units representing more than 500 brands, we believe we offer a broader product selection and more sporting goods categories than many of the largest, brick and mortar retailers. Our online store is designed to provide customers with a convenient and enjoyable shopping experience through a collection of specialty shops for popular sporting goods categories. Our exclusive focus on sporting goods and commitment to excellent customer service enable us to effectively address the needs and desires of our customers. In order to further deploy our solution, we have entered into a strategic relationship with Nike which will allow us to offer Nike's generally available product lines, present product information and give us advance availability of mutually agreed upon, newly released Nike products. The key components of our solution include: Specialty Shops Featuring Extensive Product Selection. We offer a broad range of product lines in a wide variety of sports in order to make Fogdog Sports a "one-stop-shop." Most of our products, representing 30 different sports, are featured in fourteen specialty shops and five brand concept shops. This presentation gives manufacturers an opportunity to merchandise their entire product lines and maintain brand identity and pricing. Our specialty shops feature soccer, outdoor, baseball, golf, tennis and racquet sports, football, hockey, fan/memorabilia and other categories and provide useful information and expert advice to help customers make product selections. Each shop offers equipment, apparel and accessories designed to appeal to avid enthusiasts and occasional participants. For example, our soccer shop features soccer cleats, protective equipment, balls, uniforms, shorts, tops, cross training shoes, pants, tights, warm-ups, athletic tape, socks, equipment bags and other goods. Because we believe that our customers tend to participate in several sports, a positive shopping experience in one specialty shop may encourage shopping in our other specialty shops. Value-Added Shopping Services. We offer helpful services to assist our customers with their purchasing decisions, including: . Detailed Product Information, Guides and Comparison Charts. Fogdog.com features extensive information on products, including product descriptions, high-quality product pictures, technical specifications and the intended product use descriptions. Our web site's technology allows the user to zoom in on selected products to view construction, materials and other product details. We recently added our "360 Info Spin" feature to our web site, allowing consumers to zoom in on and spin a product image to better understand its features and benefits. To further aid consumers in finding the 41 right product for their specific needs, our staff of experts writes product guides which incorporate manufacturers' data and are intended to help consumers learn about various product features, sizing and fit information and other relevant information to know before purchasing. Our experts research the products and summarize the information in easy- to-read comparison charts. . Brand Concept Shops. In addition to our specialty shops, we offer brand shops devoted exclusively to selected high-end brands for customers loyal to a particular brand. Created in conjunction with top brand manufacturers, such as Callaway and Moving Comfort, these shops surround the customer with in-depth information, broad selection and the "look and feel" consistent with the manufacturers' product merchandising. These shops are accessible from our home page and from our specialty shops. . Advice and Product Recommendations by Recognized Sports Experts. We offer information to help customers select the right product for their sports needs. We have a staff of world-class athletes, notable equipment experts and recognized sports journalists who write product articles for the site, respond to customer emails, answer customer service questions and recommend products as "Fogdog Picks," chosen for their features and value. We also host bulletin board sessions in which our expert staff shares ideas with visitors to our web site. . Consumer Reviews. To further enhance the site experience and to increase involvement in our online sporting community, we encourage customers to offer their personal reviews of any product available on the site. Our customers review products on a five-star rating scale. We moderate the reviews for appropriate language and user authenticity. To encourage reviews, recent shoppers at fogdog.com receive a follow-up email generally within three weeks after their purchase, which inquires about the overall shopping experience and asks the customer to submit a review of the purchased products. This email also serves as an opportunity for cross selling of additional related products. . My Fogdog. To provide a more personalized shopping experience, we have developed an environment for registered users of the site known as "My Fogdog." Every registered user of fogdog.com is greeted by name on the home page and is offered a link into a customized area focusing on the individual's product interests and buying history. This area includes merchandised items that are specific to that individual's interests, targeted promotions and links to our online order history and tracking system which enables customers to check order status and reorder more easily. Registered My Fogdog users are able to receive product offers that are relevant to their sports preferences, check-out faster with "Express Shopper" which stores shipping and credit card information, gain access to special items and promotions and reorder items easily. Convenient Shopping Experience. Our online store provides customers with an easy-to-use web site. Fogdog.com is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and may be reached from the shopper's home or office. Our online store enables us to deliver a broad selection of products to customers who do not have convenient access to physical stores. Our "Power Search" technology allows customers to locate products more efficiently based on user-defined criteria such as shoe size, gender, product category and manufacturer. Commitment to Excellent Customer Service. We emphasize customer service during all phases of the customer's online shopping experience. Our staff includes sports consultants who are hired for their broad knowledge of athletics, sports products and training to assist customers in their purchasing decisions. To ensure that our staff receives ongoing information on product features and functionality, we offer training sessions sponsored by key manufacturers. Our consultants, together with our in-house staff, provide free pre- and post-sales support via both email and toll-free telephone service during extended business hours. Once a customer places an order, that customer can view order-tracking information on our web site or contact our customer service department to obtain the status of the order and, when necessary, resolve order and product questions. Furthermore, our web site contains extensive information for first-time and repeat visitors, including helpful hints in searching for, selecting, ordering and returning our products. If the purchased product does not satisfy the customer, we offer an unconditional, 45-day money-back return policy. If customers are unable to find a product, they can submit a form asking the "Fogdog Search Squad" to find it for them. The Fogdog Search 42 Squad are members of our customer service staff who locate and ship hard-to- find products for customers. This service addresses our customers' desire for a single trusted source for sporting goods. Network of Fulfillment Partners. We believe the Fogdog Sports solution simplifies the order fulfillment process in the complex and highly fragmented sporting goods industry. We have developed proprietary technologies and implemented a fulfillment system that utilizes two third-party warehouses, distributors, converted catalogers and direct shipping from select manufacturers to support and secure reliable online retailing. We believe that our distribution network provides us with competitive advantages in offering our customers and partners an efficient and cost-effective order fulfillment solution. The use of this network is transparent to the customer and allows us to effectively manage the distribution process and deliver products to the customer in Fogdog Sports packaging. Growth Strategy The Fogdog Sports vision is to reinvent the sporting goods industry by providing customers with a new value proposition of selection, information and service. Our goal is to be the world's leading sporting goods retailer. Key elements of our growth strategy are to: Build Brand Recognition. We intend to establish the Fogdog brand as the first global brand for retail sporting goods and in the process build consumer trust, confidence and loyalty. We believe that through a compelling shopping experience and aggressive advertising and promotional activities, we can continue to build awareness for Fogdog. We are targeting a broad base of customers who are passionate about their sports, from the avid enthusiast to the occasional participant. A compelling site experience reinforces the brand promise that fogdog.com is the "ultimate sports store" and "your anytime, anywhere sports store." We use a combination of traditional and online marketing strategies to maximize our brand recognition: . Television, Radio, Print and Outdoor Advertising. We intend to continue to use a mix of traditional media to build awareness for the Fogdog brand, relying primarily on cable and broadcast TV. We plan to focus our TV advertising on high-profile, national cable and broadcast television networks to associate Fogdog Sports with the active sporting lifestyle. In addition, we intend to continue to use radio, print and outdoor advertising to reach potential customers, particularly in markets with high Internet use. . Online Advertising. We intend to continue to establish relationships with major online services and Internet shopping portals to target active online sporting goods shoppers. For example, we have entered into a marketing agreement with America Online, and we also have agreements with WebTV Networks, Inc., GO Network, Snap.com and Women.com for prominent positioning in their online shopping areas. We advertise on these sites as well as sites of other major online portals, including Excite, HotBot and MSN.com. We also advertise on Yahoo! with over 8,000 Fogdog products available through the Yahoo! shopping area. We intend to continue to maintain high visibility on major web sites and portals. . Affiliate Network. We have agreements with numerous web sites which we refer to as "affiliates." We believe our affiliates program is one of the largest among major online retail web sites. Affiliates direct traffic to our web site, and we offer affiliates a commission on resulting sales. We intend to expand our affiliates program to continue to draw customers to our web site. . Promotions, Events and Sponsorships. We have a program of sponsoring high profile, local sporting events, such as the Hi-Tec Adventure Racing Series and the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. We intend to continue to expand our sponsorship programs in order to build credibility with and recognition by athletes. Promote Repeat Purchases. We are focused on promoting customer loyalty and building relationships with our customers to drive repeat sales. To accomplish this strategy, we strive to provide quality customer service seven days per week, ship products promptly and for a low cost and provide an easy-to-shop online retail environment. We also employ technology which targets returning customers and makes specific offers to 43 them based on the customers' purchase history, sports preferences and shopping behavior. We intend to continue to build features that will enhance loyalty, provide offerings unique to each individual customer and continually strive to enhance our customer service. In addition, we intend to expand our direct, online marketing by delivering meaningful information and special offers to our customers. Expand Specialty Shops. We have created a collection of specialty shops within our online store, and we intend to provide additional shops organized by sport or brand. We anticipate adding five to ten of these specialty shops during the next twelve months. We design these shops to be destination sites for sports enthusiasts by including top branded products, extensive product information and superior customer service. We intend to further enhance our specialty shops by offering the best of a traditional offline specialty shop in service and information along with the best product selection for all sports across top brands. Maximize Product Selection and Fulfillment Capabilities. We intend to employ a three-part strategy so that we can sell and deliver the broadest possible array of top branded products to our customers. We believe that our focus on product availability and use of multiple fulfillment partners and channels will enable us to increase our margins while serving a rapidly expanding customer base. Our strategy is to: . Expand Fulfillment Network. We plan to augment our network of partners that manage inventory, shipping, warehousing and general purchasing, as well as our relationships with manufacturers that ship directly to customers. We believe the strength of our fulfillment network provides a competitive advantage by increasing product availability without exposing us to all of the inventory risk of a traditional retailer. . Extend Brand Relationships. We currently buy products directly from numerous sporting goods manufacturers with well-known consumer brands. We intend to continue to develop relationships with top brand manufacturers to secure the highest level of premium product inventory available. We also plan to continuously improve our relationships and the efficiency of our interactions with these key vendors by incorporating brand and product information into our site, and by featuring certain brands within brand concept shops. Our strategic relationship with Nike will give us access to all Nike brands including Jordan, Bauer, Nike ACG, Nike Golf and Nike Team Sports. . Augment Distribution Technology and Expertise. We have developed a broad range of technologies to integrate our web site and other systems directly with the systems of our fulfillment partners. We plan to leverage and expand our technical expertise to increase this integration. We also have built and will continue to enhance a team devoted to executing our warehousing, inventory management, buying and merchandising activities to ensure superior product selection. Enhance and Form Strategic Relationships. We have agreements with Nike, America Online and Keystone Fulfillment. We intend to leverage our agreements in order to provide us with competitive advantages in merchandising, marketing and distributing our products. For example, we believe our agreement with Nike will allow us to offer the broadest possible product selection of the leading sporting goods brand. Under the agreement, we will have access to Nike's generally available product lines and advance product availability for mutually agreed upon, newly released products. In addition, we intend to leverage our agreements with major online services and Internet shopping portals such as AOL to provide us with key positioning in online sporting goods shopping areas. We intend to augment our distribution capabilities through agreements with third parties, such as our agreement with Keystone Fulfillment, which provides outsourced inventory management, warehousing and shipping services. We intend to continue to pursue similar arrangements, which may include written agreements, partnerships or other arrangements that allow us to further develop our business. Expand Internationally. Although to date we have focused on the United States, we believe that growth in sales of sporting goods outside of the United States will represent additional market opportunities for us. To take advantage of these opportunities, we intend to replicate our business model and build our brand name in selected international markets with appropriate demographics and market characteristics. For example, we have opened an office in London to serve as a launching point for our European operations. 44 The Fogdog Sports Store We designed our online retail store to be a destination site for sports enthusiasts from the avid enthusiast to the occasional participant. We believe our online store is well organized, attractive and easy to use, and offers customers an enjoyable shopping experience. The look and feel of our web site is action-oriented, and navigation is user-friendly and consistent throughout. All of our product pages are "three clicks" from our home page, allowing customers to find and purchase products easily. A consumer shopping on our web site can, in addition to ordering products, browse the different specialty shops, conduct targeted searches by product or brand, view recommended products, participate in promotions and check order status. Specialty Shops We categorize many of our products into different specialty shops, including soccer, baseball, golf, outdoor, and others. Within each shop, products are organized by brand, such as Nike and Callaway, by department, such as footwear, apparel and equipment, and by our recommendations, which we call "bestsellers" and "Fogdog Picks." Each shop has helpful product information and many feature tips from a site expert with extensive knowledge about the right gear for specific sports. The following is a summary of our largest specialty shops: Soccer. We offer an extensive selection of soccer footwear, apparel, and equipment, with key brands such as adidas, Kappa, Nike, Puma and Umbro. Our soccer shop includes a Power Search feature, which allows customers to search all soccer products for available in-stock merchandise in their size. Our on- site expert provides advice on soccer cleat selection and evaluates equipment. The soccer shop features a technology report with information on the way different manufacturers design their cleats, along with a special section on "What the Pros Wear," where customers can click directly to purchase products worn by professional athletes. Outdoor. The outdoor shop features an extensive selection of products for hiking, climbing, mountaineering and other outdoor activities from manufacturers such as Hi-Tec, Kelty, Nike ACG, The North Face and Sierra Designs. Our outdoor shop expert provides helpful information in areas such as camping and back packing, as well as detailed product reviews. We also feature a bulletin board service where customers can post questions about products and sports activities. We offer an extensive product information resource online, with comparison charts for items such as backpacks, tents and sleeping bags. Baseball. We believe that we offer the largest selection of baseball equipment available on the Internet. We also provide a comprehensive selection of apparel and footwear, including such key brands as Easton, Louisville Slugger, Mizuno, Nike, Rawlings and Wilson. In our baseball shop, customers can use a bat configurator that takes input on the individual's height, weight and league type and chooses an appropriate selection of product. This shop will have regular equipment reviews by our staff journalists. Golf. The golf shop offers golf equipment, apparel and footwear including brands such as Adams, Callaway, Nike Golf, Orlimar, Spalding and Taylor Made. This shop features a Callaway brand golf shop, with information on how to select Callaway clubs, what they are made of and how they are designed. We worked closely with Callaway to develop the content of this area and the shop offers the entire line of Callaway products. The golf shop also includes an area called "What's in the Bag," which shows what professional golfers carry on the course. Hockey. Our hockey shop features equipment to outfit players of all skill levels from the novice to the expert. We offer products from leading brands such as CCM, Bauer, Jofa and Koho. Snowboard. We believe that our snowboard shop is one of the most complete snowboard stores online today with manufacturers including Santa Cruz, Ride, Switch, Flow and Westbeach. The shop also features expert advice on carving and equipment selection. 45 Tennis & Racquet Sports. The tennis and racquet shop includes a wide selection of tennis equipment, footwear and apparel from top manufacturers such as Head, Penn, Pro Kennex and Wilson. The tennis racquet shop also offers a racquet configurator which gives customers the ability to customize their racquets with their desired grip, string and stringing tension, which generally ship the same day the order is placed. Football. The football shop serves a range of players from the recreational, weekend participant to the serious league player. We offer the merchandise necessary to outfit a player and/or team including pads, helmets, guards and braces, from leading manufacturers such as Bike, Nike, Pony, Rawlings and Wilson. Fan/Memorabilia. Our fan/memorabilia shop is designed to outfit fans with apparel and souvenirs from their favorite teams and players. We help fans of a specific league, player or team find the products that support their teams. The shop includes products licensed from NCAA collegiate athletics, the National Football League, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League, Major League Soccer and international soccer teams. The shop also carries vintage era replicas and other related sports memorabilia such as autographed photos. Fitness & Health. Our fitness and health shop is an extensive collection of products and content associated with general fitness. Our fitness shop offers Avia, Champion, Fitness Quest, Harbinger, Hind and Moving Comfort. The shop features advice on exercise, apparel selection and nutrition tips. Group Sales. We believe that Fogdog Sports is the first and currently the only online retailer to offer custom uniforms and volume discounts for teams. Our group sales shop enables the team buyer to design custom uniforms and place the entire order online. We feature a large in-stock selection of uniforms, and we are able to ship most orders the same day, with a five to seven day turnaround for custom orders as compared to three to four weeks for most traditional team dealers. Shopping At Our Store Customers navigate our online store through our simple, intuitive and easy- to-use web site. Our goal is to make the shopping process as easy as possible for customers. Users accessing our online store generally fall into two categories: individuals who want to purchase a particular product immediately in a highly convenient manner, and individuals who browse the store, seeking an entertaining and informative shopping experience. We designed our online store to satisfy both types of users in a simple, intuitive fashion. Browsing and Comparing. Our web site offers visitors a variety of highlighted subject areas and special features arranged in a simple, easy-to- use format intended to enhance product search, selection and discovery. By clicking on the permanently displayed specialty shop names, the consumer moves directly to the home page of the desired shop and can quickly view promotions and featured products. On our web site customers can find detailed product information, including expert reviews of a product, how to use the product and how to care for it. Customers can use a quick keyword search or search by brand in order to locate a specific product. They can also execute more sophisticated searches based on pre-selected criteria depending upon the department. In addition, customers can browse our online store by linking to specially designed pages dedicated to products from key national and specialty brands. We provide product information in tabular form across brands and stock keeping units for easy comparison of features and benefits. Customization and Personalization. We use configurators which we call the "Fogdog Fetch" to identify merchandise unique to a customer's sport requirements and interests. We also cross-sell merchandise to customers based on what they have identified as their sport preferences in My Fogdog, what they have added to their shopping basket during the checkout process and what they have purchased. Our Fogdog Power Search tool also enables customers to search for products in some of our shops based on size and brand preferences. Selecting a Product and Checking Out. To purchase products, customers simply click on the "add to basket" button to add products to their virtual shopping cart. Customers can add and subtract products from their shopping cart as they browse around our store prior to making a final purchase decision, just as in a 46 traditional store. Our web site is updated through the direct uploading of supply information from distributors to remove products that are out of stock. To execute orders, customers click on the "checkout" button and, depending upon whether the customer has previously shopped with us, are prompted to supply shipping details online. We also offer customers a variety of shipping options during the checkout process. Prior to finalizing an order by clicking the "submit order" button, customers are shown their total charges along with the various options chosen at which point customers still have the ability to change their order or cancel it entirely. Paying. To pay for orders, a customer must use a gift certificate or credit card, which is authorized during the checkout process, but which is charged when the product is shipped. Our web site uses a security technology that works with the most common Internet browsers. Our system automatically confirms receipt of each order via email within minutes and notifies the customer when the order is shipped, typically within one to two business days for in-stock items. We also offer our customers an unconditional, 45-day money-back return policy. Repeat customers can use an "Express Checkout" feature in which customer data and payment information is automatically entered into our system. Getting Help. From every page of our web site, a customer can click on a "help" button to go to our customer service area. The customer service area of our web site contains extensive information for first-time and repeat visitors. In this area, we assist customers in searching for, shopping for, ordering and returning our products as well as provide information on our low price guarantee, shipping charges and other policies. In addition, we provide customers with answers to the most frequently asked questions and encourage our visitors to send us feedback and suggestions via email. Furthermore, customer service agents are available to answer questions about products and the shopping process during extended business hours via our toll-free number, which is displayed in the customer service area of our web site. Promotional Area. Through our promotional area, which is located on the Fogdog Sports home page, we offer products that tie into recent sporting events or seasonal themes. For example, we offered soccer jerseys and equipment following the Women's World Cup, golf equipment and apparel to tie into the U.S. Open, and backpacks in time for back to school. Customers can also purchase gift certificates from us in any denomination. We keep each customer's gift certificate balance on record on the site. Marketing We have implemented an aggressive advertising and marketing campaign to increase awareness of the Fogdog brand. We plan to acquire new customers through multiple channels, including traditional and online advertising, direct marketing and expansion and strengthening of our strategic relationships. We intend to use a significant portion of the net proceeds from this offering to continue to pursue advertising and marketing campaigns. Our marketing strategy is designed to: . build global brand recognition; . differentiate and build a unique positioning for Fogdog Sports in the marketplace; . increase consumer traffic to our web site; . acquire new customers; . build strong customer loyalty; . emphasize a one-on-one relationship with our customers; . maximize repeat purchases; and . develop additional ways to increase our net sales. Positioning and Branding Strategy. We aggressively seek to brand the Fogdog online experience at every customer touch point, including advertising, promotions, site experience, packaging and delivery. We seek to position Fogdog Sports as the trusted online sports store built for people who "live to play sports" with a selection of top brands, information and expertise. We target a broad range of customers in active lifestyle households. Our primary demographic focus is on active sports participants, male and female. 47 Advertising Mix. To build brand awareness, the primary elements of our marketing mix include cable and network television, broad reach online services, such as AOL, and Web shopping portals. We also employ targeted radio, print and outdoor media campaigns in specific markets during key sporting goods shopping seasons. We believe that through a sustained national TV campaign, we can drive consistent growth in awareness, and reach a broad audience of active sports participants with high-impact creative advertising. Our TV media plan includes advertising during major cable and network sports programming and events. We have also secured agreements with leading shopping portals, with positioning in sporting goods shopping areas. For example, under our agreement with AOL, we are a "Shopping Anchor" in two of the four AOL sports shopping areas. We also have agreements with WebTV, GO Network, Snap.com and Women.com for prominent positioning in their online shopping areas. In addition, we advertise on Yahoo! with over 8,000 Fogdog products available through the Yahoo! shopping area. Under our contracts with Internet portals and online service providers, we typically pay a fixed dollar amount in exchange for placement of an enlarged icon in high traffic areas of their sites. These agreements are generally for a fixed term of one to two years. For example, under our agreement with AOL, we have an "anchor" position providing prominent placement in the camping and outdoor fitness and sports sections of AOL Shopping for the next two years. AOL guarantees a minimum number of user impressions of our material through AOL's online service or AOL.com. Affiliate Network. We believe we maintain one of the leading affiliate programs on the Web, extending the reach of our brand and drawing customers from a variety of sports and general content sites. This program provides a low-cost means of acquiring customers by providing a sales commission of between 10% and 20% to affiliate partners. Promotions, Events and Sponsorships. We sponsor multiple events to build credibility with and recognition by athletes and sports enthusiasts, including the Hi-Tec Adventure Racing Series, an extreme type of triathlon, Let it Fly Football, a football program that has attracted more than 50,000 participants and triathlons such as the recent Escape from Alcatraz triathlon in San Francisco. Promotions on the site, such as a free gym bag with purchase, the chance to win a Volkswagen Jetta loaded with sports gear, and "A Buck Buys It," are designed to encourage consumers to try our service. We have also offered sports-related sweepstakes to win baseball gloves, soccer gear, adventure trips and trips to baseball spring training. Loyalty, Retention and Personalization. We believe that we are building a loyal base of customers through a total shopping experience which emphasizes customer service and marketing incentive programs. For example, we communicate with prospective customers through email campaigns and with customers through follow-up emails. In addition, through My Fogdog, we collect relevant information from registered customers that allow us to market more specifically to each customer's interest. Each registered member of My Fogdog has access to special product offerings, promotions and targeted offers, which we believe helps build loyalty. Distribution Strategy and Operations Our strategy for delivering our products to our customers is to focus on obtaining products through authorized distribution channels while maximizing customer selection and product availability. Inventory available to us is either reserved for our customers, shared with other partners or purchased for our account. Our shared and reserved inventory partners include distributors, manufacturers and catalogers who purchase and inventory products and then make products available for sale on our web site. These partners ship products directly to our customers from these partners using our packaging and shipping materials, so that customers only interact with the Fogdog brand throughout the order and delivery process. Our purchased inventory is held at two third-party distribution centers for processing, packaging and shipment to customers. The shipment of products directly from our distributors, manufacturers and catalogers to our customers reduces the level of inventory we are required to carry. We generally handle merchandise returns ourselves. We are currently evaluating various alternatives to expand the capacity of our distribution system. 48 We use technology to optimize the exchange of information between Fogdog, our third party distribution centers and our distribution partners, so that we can properly set customer expectations about product availability and delivery dates. Our distribution, engineering and logistics teams work with our partners and third-party warehouses to manage and monitor order accuracy, fulfillment rate, shipment speed, and overall delivery reliability and timeliness. We measure performance through daily reports, frequent on-site visits with partners and our warehouses and quarterly reviews. The following diagram illustrates our distribution system: [DIAGRAM OF OUR DISTRIBUTION STRUCTURE SHOWING A BOX LABELED "WWW.FOGDOG.COM," OVER A BOX LABELED "FULFILLER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (FMS)" OVER THREE ARROWS, ONE OF WHICH IS LABELED ORDERS AND POINTS DOWN, ONE OF WHICH IS LABELED INVENTORY AND POINTS UP AND ONE OF WHICH IS LABELED ORDER STATUS AND POINTS UP, ALL THREE OF WHICH ARROWS ARE OVER A BOX LABELED FULFILLMENT PARTNERS, WHICH BOX IS OVER FOUR SIDE BY SIDE BOXES LABELED "FOGDOG WAREHOUSE," "DISTRIBUTORS," "DIRECT SHIP" AND "SEARCH SQUAD."] Merchandising Merchandising. Our merchandising strategy is to provide a broad assortment of quality equipment, athletic footwear and apparel at prices that meet those of leading sporting goods retailers. Our web site, particularly in our specialty and brand shops, offers a core selection of brand name merchandise complemented by a selection of accessories and related products designed to enable enthusiasts to have a quality shopping experience. Our leading product category is sporting equipment, followed by apparel and athletic footwear. No single product category accounts for more than 50% of sales. Brand Name Merchandise. We emphasize quality brand name merchandise. We believe that the breadth of our brand name merchandise selection generally exceeds the merchandise selection carried by traditional, store-based competitors. Many of these branded products are technical and our customers benefit from extensive product information and sales assistance. We work with manufacturers to obtain product information and educate the sports consultants we keep on staff on the latest features and trends. Strategic Relationship with Nike. We expect that our relationship with Nike will provide us with an extensive selection of high quality branded products. Under the terms of our agreement, Nike will not sell its products to any other retailer that sells only on the Internet, except for entities affiliated with Nike customers that derive the majority of their revenue from traditional retail stores or entities that serve as web sales outsourcing providers for these Nike customers, through March 2000. In addition, we will have access to all of Nike's generally available product lines, including Jordan, Bauer, Nike ACG, Nike Golf and Nike Team Sports. Our agreement also allows us advance availability on mutually agreed upon products included in Nike's 49 generally available product line and the right to return a percentage of some product lines to Nike for a full refund. Under the agreement, Nike and its affiliates are not legally obligated to sell us any quantity of product or deliver on any particular schedule. Purchasing. Our merchandising manager and merchandise buyers analyze current sporting goods trends by maintaining close relationships with our manufacturers, monitoring sales at competing stores, studying specialized data about traffic to our web site and reviewing industry trade publications. Customer Service We believe that a high level of customer service and support is critical to retaining and expanding our customer base. First, our web site is designed to help answer many questions customers might have in selecting products. Our customer service representatives are available seven days a week to provide assistance via email or telephone. We strive to answer all customer inquiries within 24 hours. Sports consultants on our customer service team are hired for their extensive knowledge and background in athletics and sporting goods. Their backgrounds include experience as athletes, coaches and working for sporting goods manufacturers and retailers. The combination of specific sport and category understanding, knowledge of products and their use, and technical capabilities enable them to guide our customers in making an informed product selection. Our sports consultants also handle questions about orders, assist customers in finding desired products and register customers' credit card information over the telephone. We generally allow returns for any reason within 45 days of the sale for a full refund. Further, if a customer cannot find a product on our site, we provide the Fogdog Search Squad, which helps locate products primarily through our existing distribution channels. Our web site also contains a customer service page that outlines store policies and provides answers to frequently asked questions. Technology We have implemented a broad array of web site management, search, customer interaction, distribution services and systems that we use to process customers' orders and payments. These services and systems use a combination of our own technologies and commercially available, licensed technologies and are designed to be easily expanded to grow with our business. The systems that we use to process customers' orders and payments are integrated with our accounting and financial systems. We focus our internal development efforts on creating and enhancing specialized software for our business. We use a set of applications for: . generating and running our web site; . managing product data, including product details, inventory and pricing; . accepting and validating customer orders; . organizing, placing and managing orders with suppliers and partners; and . capturing and analyzing customer information and trends. Our systems are based on commercially available software and industry standard protocols and have been designed to reduce downtime in the event of outages or catastrophic occurrences. Our system hardware is hosted at a third- party data center in Mountain View, California, which provides redundant communications lines and emergency power backup. We have implemented load balancing systems and our own redundant servers to provide for fault tolerance. System security is managed by both internal staff as well as by security staff at our third-party data center. Government Regulation We are not currently subject to direct federal, state or local regulation other than regulations applicable to businesses generally or directly applicable to retailing or electronic commerce. However, as the Internet becomes increasingly popular, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet. These laws may cover issues such as user privacy, freedom of expression, pricing, content and 50 quality of products and services, taxation, advertising, intellectual property rights and information security. Furthermore, the growth of electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws. Several states have proposed legislation to limit the uses of personal user information gathered online or require online services to establish privacy policies. The Federal Trade Commission has also initiated action against at least one online service regarding the manner in which personal information is collected from users and provided to third parties and has proposed regulations restricting the collection and use of information from minors online. We do not currently provide individual personal information regarding our users to third parties and we currently do not identify registered users by age. However, the adoption of additional privacy or consumer protection laws could create uncertainty in Web usage and reduce the demand for our products and services or require us to redesign our web site. We are not certain how our business may be affected by the application of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyrights, encryption and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel, obscenity, qualification to do business and export or import matters. The vast majority of these laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet. As a result, they do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and related technologies. Changes in laws intended to address these issues could create uncertainty in the Internet marketplace. This uncertainty could reduce demand for our services or increase the cost of doing business as a result of litigation costs or increased service delivery costs. Competition The online commerce market is new, rapidly evolving and intensely competitive. We expect competition to intensify in the future. Our primary competitors are currently traditional national chain retailers of sporting goods, including Venator Group, which operates Footlocker stores and Champs, national chain retailers of outdoor equipment, such as REI, and national chain retailers of athletic footwear, such as Just For Feet. We also compete against traditional regional chain retailers of sporting goods, such as The Sports Authority, Dick's Sporting Goods and Galyan's. Our competitors also include major discount retailers, such as Wal-Mart, Kmart and Target, catalog retailers and numerous local sporting goods or outdoor activities stores. In addition to traditional store-based retailers, we compete with numerous online retailers. Online retailers that we compete with include the online efforts of traditional retailers such as Dick's, Copeland's and REI and manufacturers of sporting goods that currently sell some of their products directly online, such as K- Swiss and Patagonia. The Sports Authority, The Athlete's Foot, MC Sports and Sport Chalet have also announced the formation of an online joint venture which we expect to compete with in the future. In addition, we compete against Internet portal sites and online service providers that either offer or feature shopping services, such as AOL, Yahoo!, Excite@Home, GO Network and Lycos. We also compete against other online retailers that include sporting goods as part of their product lines, such as Buy.com, Onsale and Value America. In addition, sports-oriented web sites such as ESPN.com and CBS Sportsline offer sporting goods and fan memorabilia over the Web, and we expect greater competition from these web sites in the future. Finally, we compete with other retailers selling sporting goods exclusively online, many of which sell products in only one or a few sports categories. We believe that we compete primarily on the basis of recognition of the brands we offer on our web site, the breadth of our product offerings, the amount of product information provided to customers, convenience of the shopping experience and price. Particularly with online retailers, we compete on the basis of speed and accessibility of our web site, quality of site content, customer service and reliability and speed of order shipment. Although we believe we compete favorably with both traditional, store-based retailers and our online competitors, our market is relatively new and is evolving rapidly. We may not be able to maintain our competitive position against current and potential competitors, especially those with significantly greater financial, marketing, service, support, technical and other resources. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, significantly greater name recognition and more traffic to their web sites. In addition, many of our competitors have well-established relationships with manufacturers and more extensive knowledge about our industry. It is possible that new competitors or alliances among competitors will emerge in the future. 51 Legal Proceedings From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our ordinary course of business. We believe that there are no claims or actions pending or threatened against us, the ultimate disposition of which would have a materially adverse effect on us. Intellectual Property We rely on various intellectual property laws and contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights in services and technology. These include confidentiality, invention assignment and nondisclosure agreements with employees, contractors, suppliers and strategic partners. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for a third-party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our intellectual property without our authorization. In addition, we pursue the registration of our trademarks and service marks in the U.S. and internationally. However, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in every country in which our services are made available online. Our trademarks and service marks include Fogdog, Fogdog with the accompanying design and the Fogdog logo. We rely on technologies that we license from third parties. These licenses may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms in the future. As a result, we may be required to obtain substitute technology of lower quality or at greater cost, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We do not believe that our technologies infringe the proprietary rights of third parties. However, third parties have in the past and may in the future claim that our business or technologies infringe their rights. From time to time, we have received notices from third parties questioning our right to present specific images or mention athletes' names on our Web site, or stating that we have infringed their trademarks or copyrights. For example, in June 1999 we received a letter from a third party stating his belief that our Internet marketing activities infringe a patent for a home shopping device, and inviting us to license this technology. We expect that participants in our markets will be increasingly subject to infringement claims as the number of services and competitors in our industry segment grows. Any such claim, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause service upgrade delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements might not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. As a result, any such claim of infringement against us could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operations and financial condition. Employees As of September 30, 1999, we had 96 full-time employees. None of our employees is represented by a labor union. We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our employee relations to be good. Facilities Our corporate offices are located in Redwood City, California, where we lease 32,000 square feet under a lease that expires in July 2004. We believe our existing facilities are adequate to meet our needs for at least the next 12 months. 52 MANAGEMENT Executive Officers, Directors and Key Employees The following table sets forth certain information regarding our executive officers, directors and key employees as of November 1, 1999:

Board of Directors We currently have authorized nine directors. Following this offering, our board will consist of nine directors divided into three classes, with each class serving for a term of three years. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected by the holders of common stock to succeed the directors whose terms are expiring. Messrs. Maxfield, Gibbons and Huff are Class I directors whose terms will expire in 2000, Messrs. Ruth, Packard and Allsop are Class II directors whose terms will expire in 2001 and Messrs. Harrington, Rothrock and Parks are Class III directors whose terms will expire in 2002. This classification of the board of directors may delay or prevent a change in control of our company or in our management. See "Description of Capital Stock--Antitakeover Effects of Provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Delaware Law." Board Committees We have established an audit committee composed of independent directors that reviews and supervises our financial controls, including the selection of our auditors, reviews our books and accounts, meets with our officers regarding our financial controls, acts upon recommendations of our auditors and takes further actions as the audit committee deems necessary to complete an audit of our books and accounts, as well as other matters that may come before it or as directed by the board. The audit committee currently consists of three directors, Messrs. Gibbons, Rothrock and Packard. We have also established a compensation committee that reviews and approves the compensation and benefits for our executive officers, administers our stock plans and performs other duties as may from time to time be determined by the board. The compensation committee currently consists of three directors, Messrs. Maxfield, Ruth and Huff. 56 Director Compensation We currently do not compensate any non-employee member of the board. Directors who are also employees do not receive additional compensation for serving as directors. Under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, non-employee directors will receive automatic option grants upon becoming directors and on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders. The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan also contains a director fee option grant program. Should this program be activated in the future, each non-employee board member will have the opportunity to apply all or a portion of any annual retainer fee otherwise payable in cash to the acquisition of an option with an exercise price below the then fair market value. Non-employee directors will also be eligible to receive discretionary option grants and direct stock issuances under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan. See "Management-- Benefit Plans." In August 1999, we granted Mr. Parks an option to purchase 26,666 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.32 per share, vesting in annual installments over a four-year period measured from the option grant date. Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation None of our compensation committee members is an employee of or ever was an employee of Fogdog Sports. Messrs. Huff and Rothrock, who serve on our compensation committee, are affiliated with two of our significant stockholders. See "Transactions and Relationships with Related Parties." None of our executive officers serves on the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our board or our compensation committee. Executive Officers Our executive officers are appointed by and serve at the discretion of our board of directors.

Option Grants in Fiscal Year 1998 The following table sets forth certain information with respect to stock options granted to each of our named executive officers in 1998, including the potential realizable value over the term of the options, based on assumed rates of stock appreciation of 5% and 10%, compounded annually.

In 1998, we granted options to purchase an aggregate of 1,942,000 shares to employees, directors and consultants under our Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Option Plan at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, as determined in good faith by our board of directors. Options granted are immediately exercisable in full, but any shares purchased under these options that are not vested are subject to our right to repurchase the shares at the shares' option exercise price. In general, this repurchase right lapses as to 25% of the shares after one year of service and as to the remaining shares in equal monthly installments over an additional three-year period. However: . the options granted to Mr. Harrington vest in 48 equal monthly installments; and . 8,333 of the options granted to Mr. Chea and Mr. Allsop vested on January 1, 1999 and the remaining options vest in a series of 36 equal monthly installments beginning on January 1, 1999. 58 The potential realizable value is calculated assuming the aggregate exercise price on the date of grant appreciates at the indicated rate for the entire term of the option and that the option is exercised and sold on the last day of its term at the appreciated price. Stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% is assumed pursuant to the rules of the Commission. We can give no assurance that the actual stock price will appreciate over the term of the options at the assumed 5% and 10% levels or at any other defined level. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises will be dependent on the future performance of our common stock. Unless the market price of the common stock appreciates over the option term, no value will be realized from the option grants made to the named executive officers. In March 1999, we granted to the following named executive officers, options to purchase the following numbers of shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.33 per share: .

Benefit Plans 1999 Stock Incentive Plan Introduction. Our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan is intended to serve as the successor program to our Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Option Plan. The 1999 plan was adopted by our board in September 1999 and will be approved by our stockholders prior to the consummation of this offering. The 1999 plan will become effective when the underwriting agreement for this offering is signed. At that time, all outstanding options under our existing plan will be transferred to the 1999 plan, and no further option grants will be made under the prior plan. The transferred options will continue to be governed by their existing terms, unless our compensation committee decides to extend one or more features of the 1999 plan to those options. Except as otherwise noted below, the transferred options have substantially the same terms as will be in effect for grants made under the discretionary option grant program of our 1999 plan. 59 Share Reserve. 6,296,631 shares of our common stock have been authorized for issuance under the 1999 plan. This share reserve consists of the number of shares we estimate will be carried over from the 1996 plan plus an additional increase of 800,000 shares. The share reserve under our 1999 plan will automatically increase on the first trading day in January of each year from 2001 through 2005, by an amount equal to 3% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding on the last trading day of December in the prior year, but in no event will this annual increase exceed 2,000,000 shares. In addition, no participant in our 1999 plan may be granted stock options or direct stock issuances for more than 666,667 shares of common stock in total in any calendar year. Programs. Our 1999 plan has five separate programs: . the discretionary option grant program, under which eligible individuals in our employ may be granted options to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of those shares on the grant date; . the stock issuance program, under which eligible individuals may be issued shares of our common stock that will vest upon the attainment of performance milestones or upon the completion of a period of service or that are fully vested at issuance as a bonus for past services; . the salary investment option grant program, under which our executive officers and other highly compensated employees may be given the opportunity to apply a portion of their base salary to the acquisition of special below market stock option grants; . the automatic option grant program, under which option grants will automatically be made at periodic intervals to eligible non-employee board members to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of those shares on the grant date; and . the director fee option grant program, under which our non-employee board members may be given the opportunity to apply a portion of any retainer fee otherwise payable to them in cash for the year to the acquisition of special below-market option grants. Eligibility. The individuals eligible to participate in our 1999 plan include our officers and other employees, our board members and any consultants that we hire. Administration. The discretionary option grant and stock issuance programs will be administered by our compensation committee. This committee will determine which eligible individuals are to receive option grants or stock issuances under those programs, the time or times when the grants or issuances are to be made, the number of shares subject to each grant or issuance, the status of any granted option as either an incentive stock option or a nonstatutory stock option under the federal tax laws, the vesting schedule to be in effect for the option grant or stock issuance and the maximum term for which any granted option is to remain outstanding. The compensation committee will also have the authority to select the executive officers and other highly compensated employees who may participate in the salary investment option grant program if that program is put into effect for one or more calendar years. Plan Features. Our 1999 plan will include the following features: . The exercise price for any options granted under the plan may be paid in cash or in shares of our common stock valued at fair market value on the exercise date. The option may also be exercised through a same-day sale program without any cash outlay by the optionee. . The compensation committee will have the authority to cancel outstanding options under the discretionary option grant program, including any transferred options from our 1996 plan, in return for the grant of new options for the same or different number of option shares with an exercise price per share based upon the fair market value of our common stock on the new grant date. . Stock appreciation rights may be issued under the discretionary option grant program. These rights will provide the holders with the election to surrender their outstanding options for a payment from 60 us equal to the fair market value of the shares subject to the surrendered options less the exercise price payable for those shares. We may make the payment in cash or in shares of our common stock. None of the options under our 1996 plan have any stock appreciation rights. Change in Control. The 1999 plan will include the following change in control provisions that may result in the accelerated vesting of outstanding option grants and stock issuances: . If we are acquired by merger or asset sale, each outstanding option under the discretionary option grant program that is not to be assumed by the successor corporation will immediately become exercisable for all the option shares, and all outstanding unvested shares will immediately vest, except to the extent our repurchase rights with respect to those shares are to be assigned to the successor corporation. . The compensation committee will have complete discretion to grant one or more options that will become exercisable for all the option shares if those options are assumed in the acquisition but the optionee's service with us or the acquiring entity is subsequently terminated. The vesting of any outstanding shares under our 1999 plan may be accelerated upon similar terms and conditions. . The compensation committee may grant options and structure repurchase rights so that the shares subject to those options or repurchase rights will immediately vest in connection with a successful tender offer for more than fifty percent of our outstanding voting stock or a change in the majority of our board through one or more contested elections. Such accelerated vesting may occur either at the time of such transaction or upon the subsequent termination of the individual's service. . The compensation committee will have the discretionary authority to extend any of the acceleration provisions of the 1999 plan to one or more options transferred from our 1996 plan which do not otherwise contain those provisions. Currently, the transferred options are structured so that we may cancel those options, to the extent not exercised within five days prior to an acquisition by merger or asset sale, in return for a cash payment per option share equal to the price payable per share of our common stock in connection with the acquisition, less the option exercise price. To the extent such cash payment is not made, then the options will immediately terminate upon the closing of the acquisition, unless those options are assumed in the acquisition. Salary Investment Option Grant Program. If the compensation committee decides to put this program into effect for one or more calendar years, each of our executive officers and other highly compensated employees may elect to reduce his or her base salary for the calendar year by an amount not less than $10,000 nor more than $50,000. Each selected individual who makes such an election will automatically be granted, on the first trading day in January of the calendar year for which his or her salary reduction is to be in effect, an option to purchase that number of shares of common stock determined by dividing the salary reduction amount by two-thirds of the fair market value per share of our common stock on the grant date. The option will have an exercise price per share equal to one-third of the fair market value of the option shares on the grant date. As a result, the option will be structured so that the fair market value of the option shares on the grant date less the exercise price payable for those shares will be equal to the amount of the salary reduction. The option will become exercisable in a series of 12 equal monthly installments over the calendar year for which the salary reduction is to be in effect. Automatic Option Grant Program. Each individual who first becomes a non- employee board member at any time after the effective date of this offering will receive an option grant for 10,000 shares of common stock on the date such individual joins the board. In addition, on the date of each annual stockholders meeting held after the effective date of this offering, each non- employee board member who is to continue to serve as a non-employee board member, including each of our current non-employee board members, will automatically be granted an option to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock, provided such individual has served on the board for at least six months. 61 Each automatic grant will have an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value per share of our common stock on the grant date and will have a term of 10 years, subject to earlier termination following the optionee's cessation of board service. The option will be immediately exercisable for all of the option shares; however, we may repurchase, at the exercise price paid per share, any shares purchased under the option that are not vested at the time of the optionee's cessation of board service. The shares subject to each initial 10,000-share automatic option grant will vest in a series of four successive annual installments upon the optionee's completion of each year of board service over the four-year period measured from the grant date. The shares subject to each annual 2,500-share automatic option grant will vest upon the optionee's completion of one year of board service measured from the grant date. However, the shares will immediately vest in full upon certain changes in control or ownership or upon the optionee's death or disability while a board member. Director Fee Option Grant Program. If this program is put into effect in the future, then each non-employee board member may elect to apply all or a portion of any cash retainer fee for the year to the acquisition of a below-market option grant. The option grant will automatically be made on the first trading day in January in the year for which the non-employee board member would otherwise be paid the cash retainer fee in the absence of his or her election. The option will have an exercise price per share equal to one-third of the fair market value of the option shares on the grant date, and the number of shares subject to the option will be determined by dividing the amount of the retainer fee applied to the program by two-thirds of the fair market value per share of our common stock on the grant date. As a result, the option will be structured so that the fair market value of the option shares on the grant date less the exercise price payable for those shares will be equal to the portion of the retainer fee applied to that option. The option will become exercisable in a series of 12 equal monthly installments over the calendar year for which the election is in effect. However, the option will become immediately exercisable for all the option shares upon the death or disability of the optionee while serving as a board member. Additional Program Features. Our 1999 plan will also have the following features: . Outstanding options under the salary investment and director fee option grant programs will immediately vest if we are acquired by a merger or asset sale or if there is a successful tender offer for more than 50% of our outstanding voting stock or a change in the majority of our board through one or more contested elections. . Limited stock appreciation rights will automatically be included as part of each grant made under the salary investment option grant program and the automatic and director fee option grant programs, and these rights may also be granted to one or more officers as part of their option grants under the discretionary option grant program. Options with this feature may be surrendered to us upon the successful completion of a hostile tender offer for more than 50% of our outstanding voting stock. In return for the surrendered option, the optionee will be entitled to a cash distribution from us in an amount per surrendered option share based upon the highest price per share of our common stock paid in that tender offer. . The board may amend or modify the 1999 plan at any time, subject to any required stockholder approval. The 1999 plan will terminate no later than September 2009. 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan Introduction. Our 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan was adopted by the board in September 1999 and will be approved by the stockholders prior to the consummation of this offering. The plan will become effective immediately upon the signing of the underwriting agreement for this offering. The plan is designed to allow our eligible employees and the eligible employees of our participating subsidiaries to purchase shares of our common stock, at semi- annual intervals, with their accumulated payroll deductions. Share Reserve. 500,000 shares of our common stock will initially be reserved for issuance. The reserve will automatically increase on the first trading day in January of each year from 2001 through 2005, by an 62 amount equal to 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of our common stock on the last trading day in December in the prior year. In no event will any such annual increase exceed 1,000,000 shares. Offering Periods. The plan will have a series of successive offering periods, each with a maximum duration of 24 months. However, the initial offering period will start on the date the underwriting agreement for the offering is signed and will end on the last business day in January 2002. The next offering period will start on the first business day in February 2002, and subsequent offering periods will be set by our compensation committee. Eligible Employees. Individuals scheduled to work more than 20 hours per week for more than five calendar months per year may join an offering period on the start date or any semi-annual entry date within that period. Semi-annual entry dates will occur on the first business day of February and August each year. Individuals who become eligible employees after the start date of an offering period may join the plan on any subsequent semi-annual entry date within that offering period. Payroll Deductions. A participant may contribute up to 15% of his or her cash earnings through payroll deductions, and the accumulated deductions will be applied to the purchase of shares on each semi-annual purchase date. The purchase price per share will be equal to 85% of the fair market value per share on the participant's entry date into the offering period or, if lower, 85% of the fair market value per share on the semi-annual purchase date. Semi- annual purchase dates will occur on the last business day of January and July each year. The first purchase date will occur on the last business day of July 2000. In no event, however, may any participant purchase more than 750 shares on any purchase date, and not more than 125,000 shares may be purchased in total by all participants on any purchase date. Reset Feature. If the fair market value per share of our common stock on any purchase date is less than the fair market value per share on the start date of the two-year offering period, then that offering period will automatically terminate, and a new two-year offering period will begin on the next business day. All participants in the terminated offering will be transferred to the new offering period. Change in Control. Should we be acquired by merger or sale of substantially all of our assets or more than 50% of our voting securities, then all outstanding purchase rights will automatically be exercised immediately prior to the effective date of the acquisition. The purchase price will be equal to 85% of the market value per share on the participant's entry date into the offering period in which an acquisition occurs or, if lower, 85% of the fair market value per share immediately prior to the acquisition. Plan Provisions. The following provisions will also be in effect under the plan: . The plan will terminate no later than the last business day of July 2009. . The board may at any time amend, suspend or discontinue the plan. However, certain amendments may require stockholder approval. Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment Arrangements and Change in Control Arrangements In March 1997, we entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Smith to serve as our Vice President of Business Development and General Manager of Multi-Brand Stores. Mr. Smith's base annualized salary for his services was $90,000. Pursuant to the agreement, this base annualized salary was increased to $135,000 when we completed a venture financing in June 1998. Additional terms under the agreement are as follows. . Mr. Smith received options to purchase 224,740 shares of our common stock in March 1997 at an exercise price of $0.082 per share. Of these options, 56,184 vested on July 1, 1997 and the remaining options are vesting in a series of 36 monthly installments over the period of Mr. Smith's service measured from July 1, 1997. These options will vest in full if we complete an initial public offering 63 or if we are acquired. However, Mr. Smith will not receive accelerated vesting in connection with an acquisition if the acceleration would make the acquisition ineligible for selected accounting treatment. . Mr. Smith also received options to purchase 156,666 shares of our common stock in December 1997 at an exercise price of $ 0.082 per share. Of these options, 39,166 vested on July 1, 1997, 39,166 vested upon our closing of a venture financing in June, 1998 and the remaining options are vesting thereafter in a series of equal monthly installments of 3,263 shares until July 1, 2000. In June 1998, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Harrington to serve as our President, Chief Operating Officer and a member of our board of directors. The agreement was amended in September 1999. Mr. Harrington's base salary for his services was initially $150,000 per year and was increased to $170,000 per year in 1999 when Mr. Harrington became our Chief Executive Officer. Additional terms under the agreement are as follows. . Mr. Harrington is eligible to receive a bonus of up to 20% of his base salary based on the achievement of performance goals that are mutually agreeable to Mr. Harrington and the board of directors. . Mr. Harrington also received options to purchase 800,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.082 per share. The options are vesting in 48 equal monthly installments over Mr. Harrington's period of service with us. However, the options will become fully vested if we are acquired and the successor corporation does not assume the options or if Mr. Harrington is involuntarily terminated within 12 months following an acquisition. In addition, if Mr. Harrington is terminated by us for any reason other than cause at any time other than within 12 months following an acquisition, he will receive a payment of $200,000 or one full year of salary, whichever is greater, an additional 333,333 option shares will accelerate and Mr. Harrington will provide services to us as a consultant for a period of six months during which time he will continue to vest in his remaining options. Mr. Harrington's employment agreement terminates in September 2000 and automatically renews for successive one year periods, unless terminated earlier upon death, disability, notice from us, with or without cause, or voluntary resignation. In June 1998, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Chea to serve as our Vice President of Technology. Mr. Chea's initial base salary for his services was $90,000 and was increased to $110,000 per year in 1999 when Mr. Chea became Vice President, Engineering. Additional terms under the agreement are as follows. . Mr. Chea is entitled to receive an annual bonus of up to 20% of his annual base salary based on the achievement of performance goals. . Mr. Chea received options to purchase 33,333 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.082 per share. Of these options, 8,333 vested on January 1, 1999 and the remainder are vesting in a series of 36 equal monthly installments thereafter over Mr. Chea's period of service with us measured from January 1, 1999. . Mr. Chea granted us the right to repurchase 333,333 shares of his Fogdog Sports common stock at fair market value if he voluntarily terminates his employment without good reason. The repurchase right lapses in 30 equal monthly installments over Mr. Chea's period of service with us. However, the repurchase right lapses with respect to all of the shares upon the completion of an initial public offering of our common stock, if we are acquired, if Mr. Chea dies, becomes disabled or terminates his employment for good cause, if we terminate his employment without cause or if we hire a technology officer with a senior title, duties and responsibilities. . Mr. Chea is entitled to 12 weeks of severance pay if he is terminated without cause or if he voluntarily departs with good reason. 64 Mr. Chea's employment agreement terminates in January 2001, unless terminated earlier upon death, disability, notice from us with or without cause or if he voluntary resigns. In April 1999, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Allsop to serve as our President of International Division and Chairman of the Board for a base salary of $105,000 per year. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Allsop's base salary was increased to $135,000 per year upon Mr. Allsop's relocation to our new London office. Additional terms under the agreement are as follows. . Mr. Allsop is entitled to receive a supplement of $8,000 to his base salary to compensate him for the higher cost of living abroad. . Mr. Allsop is eligible to receive a bonus of up to 20% of his base salary upon achievement of performance goals mutually determined by Mr. Allsop and our chief executive officer. . Mr. Allsop granted us the right to repurchase 115,555 shares of his Fogdog Sports common stock at fair market value if he voluntarily terminates his employment without good reason. The repurchase right lapses in 26 equal monthly installments over Mr. Allsop's period of service with us. However, the repurchase right lapses with respect to all of the shares upon the completion of an initial public offering of our common stock, if we are acquired or if Mr. Allsop dies, becomes disabled or terminates his employment for good cause. . Mr. Allsop is also entitled to 26 additional weeks of salary if he is terminated without cause. Mr. Allsop's employment agreement terminates in June 2001, unless terminated earlier upon death, disability, notice from us with or without cause or voluntary resignation. In August 1999, we entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Joyce to serve as our President. Additional terms under the agreement are as follows. . Mr. Joyce is entitled to a base salary of $280,000 per year. . Mr. Joyce is also eligible to receive a target bonus of 20% of his base salary with the opportunity to earn more through the attainment of performance goals. . Mr. Joyce is also entitled to receive options to purchase 666,666 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $1.32 per share, which were granted on August 26, 1999, and vest over a period of four years in a series of 48 equal monthly installments over Mr. Joyce's continued period of service with us. However, if we are acquired within one year of the date of the agreement and the successor corporation does not assume Mr. Joyce's options, the options will vest on an accelerated basis such that 24 months worth of unvested options shall become vested. . Mr. Joyce also received a grant of options to purchase 83,333 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $1.32 per share, when Nike USA, Inc. opened a retail account for its premium products with us in September 1999, which options will vest fully six months from the date of grant. . Mr. Joyce is eligible for a reimbursement of $60,000 for relocation expenses. In September 1999, our board of directors approved a severance package for Ms. von Lossberg. Pursuant to this severance package, she is entitled to three months of salary if she is terminated without cause. In November 1999, we entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Garrett to serve as our Vice President, Finance. Additional terms under the agreement are as follows: . Mr. Garrett is entitled to a base salary of $240,000 per year. . Mr. Garrett is also eligible to receive a target bonus of 20% of his base salary with the opportunity to earn more through the attainment of performance goals. . Mr. Garrett is entitled to receive options to purchase 310,000 shares of our common stock. These options will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of 65 the grant. Of these options, 38,750 options vest six months from his employment date, and the remaining options vest in equal monthly installments of 6,458 options thereafter. However, if we are acquired within one year of Mr. Garrett's first day of employment and the successor corporation does not assume his options, the options will vest on an accelerated basis such that 12 months worth of unvested options shall become vested. Limitation of Liability and Indemnification Our certificate of incorporation eliminates, to the maximum extent allowed by the Delaware General Corporation Law, directors' personal liability to Fogdog Sports or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duties. The certificate of incorporation of Fogdog Sports does not, however, eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for the following: . any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to Fogdog Sports or its stockholders; . acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; . unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or . any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law and may indemnify our other officers, employees and other agents as set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. In addition, we have entered into an indemnification agreement with each of our directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements contain provisions that require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and executive officers against liabilities (other than liabilities arising from intentional or knowing and culpable violations of law) that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or executive officers of Fogdog Sports or other entities to which they provide service at our request and to advance expenses they may incur as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. We believe that these bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and officers. Prior to the consummation of the offering, we will obtain an insurance policy covering directors and officers for claims they may otherwise be required to pay or for which we are required to indemnify them. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or agents where indemnification will be required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification. 66 TRANSACTIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH RELATED PARTIES Sales of Securities Since January 1996, we have raised capital primarily through the sale of our securities, including: .

Holders of shares of our preferred stock and our common stock issued or issuable upon conversion thereof and some holders of our common stock are entitled to registration rights. See "Description of Capital Stock-- Registration Rights." Agreement with Nike USA, Inc. In September 1999, we entered into an agreement with Nike USA, Inc. pursuant to which we have the right to market on our web site the generally available Nike product lines, including Jordan, Bauer, Nike ACG, Nike Golf and Nike Team Sports. We will receive a discount on the products we purchase. Under the agreement, we also have advance product availability for mutually agreed upon, newly released products. The agreement prohibits us from selling any of these products to consumers with shipping addresses outside of the United States unless Nike.com is allowed to sell in those countries and the sales do not constitute a violation of any agreement with any third party. We also agreed to use Nike USA as the exclusive supplier of Nike brand products, and Nike USA agreed not to sell its products to any other retailer that sells only on the Internet, except entities affiliated with Nike customers that derive the majority of their revenue from traditional retail stores or entities that serve as web sales outsourcing providers for these Nike customers through March 2000. Nike USA may terminate the agreement at any time without cause upon 90 days notice to us, but must pay us a termination fee if it exercises this right prior to December 31, 2001. We also issued Nike USA a warrant to purchase 4,114,349 shares of our Series C preferred stock at an exercise price of $1.54 per share. Upon the consummation of this offering, this warrant will automatically become exercisable for 4,114,349 shares of our common stock. 68 Agreements with Officers and Directors In July 1995, we entered into an employment agreement with Ms. von Lossberg. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, we agreed to grant Ms. von Lossberg a 2.5% equity interest in the company after six months of employment and another 2.5% equity interest in December 1995. In August 1996, we entered into an agreement with Ms. von Lossberg pursuant to which we issued 210,528 shares of our common stock to Ms. von Lossberg in satisfaction of our obligations under the prior employment agreement. In August 1999, Mr. Harrington exercised vested options to purchase 294,444 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $35,292. Mr. Harrington exercised these options by issuing us a promissory note that is secured by the stock. In September 1999, Ms. von Lossberg exercised options to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $4,192. Ms. von Lossberg exercised these options by issuing us a promissory note that is secured by the common stock. We have entered into employment arrangements with our executive officers. See "Management--Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment Arrangements and Change in Control Arrangements." We have granted options and issued common stock to our executive officers and directors. See "Management--Executive Compensation" and "Principal Stockholders." We have entered into an indemnification agreement with each of our executive officers and directors. See "Management--Limitation of Liability and Indemnification." We have entered into non-competition and confidentiality agreements with some of our officers. We believe that all of the transactions set forth above were made on terms no less favorable to us than could have been otherwise obtained from unaffiliated third parties. All future transactions, including loans, if any, between the company and our officers, directors and principal stockholders and their affiliates and any transactions between the company and any entity with which our officers, directors or five percent stockholders are affiliated will be approved by a majority of the board of directors, including a majority of the independent and disinterested outside directors of the board of directors and will be on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. 69 PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS The table below sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of September 30, 1999, by the following individuals or groups: . each person or entity who is known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding stock; . each of the named executive officers; . each of our directors; and . all directors and executive officers as a group. Each stockholder's percentage ownership in the following table is based on 29,665,236 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 1999, as adjusted to reflect the conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock upon the closing of this offering into 23,425,333 shares of common stock. For purposes of calculating each stockholder's percentage ownership, all options and warrants exercisable within 60 days of September 30, 1999 held by the particular stockholder and that are included in the first column are treated as outstanding shares. The numbers shown in the table below assume no exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option.

The following description of capital stock gives effect to the certificate of incorporation to be filed upon closing of this offering. Immediately following the completion of this offering, and assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, based on the number of shares outstanding as of September 30, 1999, an aggregate of 35,665,236 shares of common stock will be issued and outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock will be issued and outstanding. The following description of our capital stock is subject to and qualified by our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and by the provisions of the applicable Delaware law. Common Stock The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by our stockholders. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock that may come into existence, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available for dividends. See "Dividend Policy." In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding. Our common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable, and the shares of common stock to be outstanding upon completion of this offering will be fully paid and nonassessable. Preferred Stock Our board of directors is authorized to issue from time to time, without stockholder authorization, in one or more designated series, any or all of our authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock with any dividend, redemption, conversion and exchange provisions as may be provided in the particular series. Any series of preferred stock may possess voting, dividend, liquidation and redemption rights superior to those of the common stock. The rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Issuance of a new series of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of entrenching our board of directors and making it more difficult for a third-party to acquire, or discourage a third-party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock. We have no present plans to issue any shares of or designate any series of preferred stock. Warrants At September 30, 1999, there were warrants outstanding to purchase a total of 4,319,131 shares of our common stock expiring through March 2003. Registration Rights Upon completion of the offering, the holders of an aggregate of approximately 27,533,333 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase approximately 4,133,333 shares of our common stock will be entitled to certain rights with respect to the registration of the shares under the Securities Act. Nike USA, Inc. has three 72 separate demand registration rights. These rights are provided under the terms of agreements between us and the holders of these securities. If we propose to register any of our securities under the Securities Act, either for our own account or for the account of other security holders exercising registration rights, these holders are entitled to notice of the registration and are entitled to include shares of common stock in the registration. The rights are subject to conditions and limitations, among them the right of the underwriters of an offering subject to the registration to limit the number of shares included in the registration. Holders of these rights may also require us to file a registration statement under the Securities Act at our expense with respect to their shares of common stock, and we are required to use our best efforts to effect the registration, subject to conditions and limitations. Furthermore, stockholders with registration rights may require us to file additional registration statements on Form S-3, subject to conditions and limitations. Compliance with California Law We are currently subject to Section 2115 of the California General Corporation Law. Section 2115 provides that, regardless of a company's legal domicile, certain provisions of California corporate law will apply to that company if more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities are held of record by persons having addresses in California and the majority of the company's operations occur in California. For example, while we are subject to Section 2115, stockholders may cumulate votes in electing directors. This means that each stockholder may vote the number of votes equal to the number of candidates multiplied by the number of votes to which the stockholder's shares are normally entitled in favor of one candidate. This potentially allows minority stockholders to elect some members of the board of directors. When we are no longer subject to Section 2115, cumulative voting will not be allowed and a holder of 50% or more of our voting stock will be able to control the election of all directors. In addition to this difference, Section 2115 has the following additional effects: . enables removal of directors with or without cause with majority stockholder approval; . places limitations on the distribution of dividends; . extends additional rights to dissenting stockholders in any reorganization, including a merger, sale of assets or exchange of shares; and . provides for information rights and required filings in the event we effect a sale of assets or complete a merger. We anticipate that our common stock will be qualified for trading as a national market security on the Nasdaq National Market and that we will have at least 800 stockholders of record by the record date for our 2000 annual meeting of stockholders. If these two conditions occur, then we will no longer be subject to Section 2115 as of the record date for our 2000 annual meeting of stockholders. Antitakeover Effects of Provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Delaware Law Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board to establish one or more series of undesignated preferred stock, the terms of which can be determined by our board at the time of issuance. See "--Preferred Stock." Our certificate of incorporation also provides that all stockholder action must be effected at a duly called meeting of stockholders and not by written consent. In addition, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not permit our stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders. Only our Chief Executive Officer, President, Chairman of the Board or a majority of the board of directors are permitted to call a special meeting of stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation also provides that the board of directors is divided into three classes, with each director assigned to a class with a term of three years, and that the number of directors may only be determined by the board of directors. Our bylaws require that stockholders give advance notice to our secretary of any nominations for director or other business to be brought by stockholders at any stockholders' meeting, and that the chairman of the board has the authority to adjourn any meeting called by the stockholders. Our bylaws also require a supermajority vote of members of the board of directors and/or 73 stockholders to amend certain bylaw provisions. These provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation and our bylaws could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control of the company. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in the management of the company. See "Risk Factors--Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may make changes of control difficult, even if they would be beneficial to stockholders." We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: . prior to that date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; . upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned by: (i) persons who are directors and also officers; and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or . on or subsequent to that date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder. Section 203 defines "business combination" to include the following: . any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; . any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder; . subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; . any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or . the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation. In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by any of these entities or persons.

Its telephone number is (781) 575-2469. 74 SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock, and we cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our common stock or the availability of shares of our common stock for sale will have on the market price of common stock prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities. Upon the completion of this offering we will have 35,665,236 shares of common stock outstanding assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over- allotment option. The number of shares of common stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on the number of shares outstanding as of September 30, 1999, and excludes: . 4,502,885 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding as of September 30, 1999 at a weighted average exercise price of $1.15 per share; . 6,296,631 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan that incorporates our Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Option Plan; . 500,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan; . 4,114,349 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of an outstanding warrant held by Nike USA, Inc. of an exercise price of $1.54 per share; and . 204,782 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants at a weighted average exercise price of $1.97 per share. Of the outstanding shares, all of the shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable, except that any shares held by our "affiliates," as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, may only be sold in compliance with the limitations described below. The remaining 29,602,871 shares of common stock will be deemed "restricted securities" as defined under Rule 144. Restricted shares may be sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rules 144, 144(k) or 701 promulgated under the Securities Act, which rules are summarized below. Subject to the lock-up agreements described below and the provisions of Rules 144, 144(k) and 701, additional shares will be available for sale in the public market as follows:
Number of Shares Date --------- ------------------------------------------------------------------ 4,062,366 After the date of this prospectus, freely tradable shares sold in this offering and shares saleable under Rule 144(k) that are not subject to the 180-day lock-up 24,569,910 After 180 days from the date of this prospectus, the 180-day lock- up is released and these shares are saleable under Rule 144 (subject, in some cases, to volume limitations) or Rule 144(k) 1,236,885 After 180 days from the date of this prospectus, the 180-day lock- up is released and these shares are saleable under Rule 701 (subject to repurchase by the Company) 3,796,076 After 180 days from the date of this prospectus, restricted securities that are held for less than one year and are not yet saleable under Rule 144
Rule 144 In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person, or group of persons whose shares are required to be aggregated, including any of our affiliates, who has beneficially owned shares for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner who is not an affiliate, is entitled to sell within any three-month period commencing 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a number of shares that does not exceed 75 the greater of one percent of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock, which will be approximately 356,000 shares immediately after this offering, or the average weekly trading volume in our common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of such sale is filed, subject to certain restrictions. In addition, a person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, including the holding period of any prior owner who is not an affiliate, would be entitled to sell these shares under Rule 144(k) without regard to the requirements described above. To the extent that shares were acquired from one of our affiliates, a person's holding period for the purpose of effecting a sale under Rule 144 would commence on the date of transfer from the affiliate. Stock Options As of September 30, 1999, options to purchase a total of 4,502,885 shares of common stock were outstanding, all of which were currently exercisable but were subject to repurchase upon termination of employment until vested. We intend to file a Form S-8 registration statement under the Securities Act to register all shares of common stock issuable under our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan and our 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Accordingly, shares of common stock underlying these options will be eligible for sale in the public markets, subject to vesting restrictions or the lock-up agreements described below. See "Management--Benefit Plans." Lock-up Agreements We have agreed, and each of our officers and directors and substantially all of our securityholders have agreed, subject to specified exceptions, not to, without the prior written consent of Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, sell, otherwise dispose of any shares of our common stock or options to acquire shares of our common stock or take any action to do any of the foregoing during the 180-day period following the date of this prospectus. Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation may, in its sole discretion and at any time without notice, release all or any portion of the securities subject to lock-up agreements. See "Underwriting." Following this offering, under specified circumstances and subject to customary conditions, holders of approximately 27,533,333 shares of our outstanding common stock and warrants to purchase approximately 4,133,333 shares of our common stock will have registration rights with respect to their shares of common stock, subject to the 180-day lock-up arrangement described above, to require us to register their shares of common stock under the Securities Act. If the holders of these registrable securities request that we register their shares, and if the registration is effected, these shares will become freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act. Any sales of securities by these stockholders could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock. See "Description of Capital Stock-- Registration Rights." 76 UNDERWRITING Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in an underwriting agreement dated , 1999, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters named below, for whom Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, J.P.

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

The underwriters have informed us that they do not expect discretionary sales to exceed 5% of the shares of common stock being offered. We, our officers and directors and substantially all of our existing stockholders and option holders have agreed not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to, any shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of our common stock, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing, without the prior written consent of Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus, except in our case issuances pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options outstanding on the date hereof. The underwriters have reserved for sale, at the initial public offering price, up to 510,000 shares of the common stock for employees, directors and certain other persons associated with us who have expressed an 77 interest in purchasing common stock in the offering. The number of shares available for sale to the general public in the offering will be reduced to the extent such persons purchase such reserved shares. Any reserved shares not so purchased will be offered by the underwriters to the general public on the same terms as the other shares. We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribute to payments which the underwriters may be required to make in that respect. We have applied to list the shares of common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market under the symbol "FOGD." Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the common stock. The initial public offering price will be determined by negotiation between us and the representatives. The principal factors to be considered in determining the public offering price include the following: . the information included in this prospectus and otherwise available to the representatives; . market conditions for initial public offerings; . the history and the prospects for the industry in which we will compete; . the ability of our management; . the prospects for our future earnings; . the present state of our development and our current financial condition; . the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering; and . the recent market prices of, and the demand for, publicly traded common stock of generally comparable companies. Thomas Weisel Partners LLC, one of the representatives of the underwriters, was organized and registered as a broker-dealer in December 1998. Since December 1998, Thomas Weisel Partners LLC has acted as lead or co-manager on over 30 public offerings of equity securities that have been completed. Thomas Weisel Partners LLC does not have any material relationship with us or any of our officers, directors or controlling persons, except with respect to its contractual relationship with us under the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with this offering. The representatives may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. . Over-allotment involves syndicate sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a syndicate short position. . Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. . Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. . Penalty bids permit the representatives to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the common stock originally sold by such syndicate member is purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the common stock to be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq National Market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. 78 NOTICE TO CANADIAN RESIDENTS Resale Restrictions The distribution of the common stock in Canada is being made only on a private placement basis exempt from the requirement that we prepare and file a prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in each province where trades of common stock are effected.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. F-6 FOGDOG, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Information for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 is unaudited) Note 1--The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: The Company Fogdog, Inc. (the "Company") is an online retailer of sporting goods. The Company's online retail store, "fogdog.com," offers products, detailed product information and personalized shopping services. During 1997 and 1998, the Company also provided web development services to sporting goods manufacturers, trade associations and retailers. The Company was incorporated in California in October 1994 as Cedro Group, Inc. and in November 1998, changed its name to Fogdog, Inc. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Sports Universe, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated. Unaudited interim results The interim consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 1999 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of interim periods. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the consolidated financial statements for the related periods are unaudited. The results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments The Company's investments are classified as available-for-sale. Unrealized gains or losses have been insignificant for all periods. Merchandise inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, determined on a first- in, first-out basis. Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three years, or the remaining lease term. Web development costs Web development costs primarily consist of costs to develop software which enables users to access information on the customer's web site. Web development costs incurred prior to technological feasibility F-7 FOGDOG, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Information for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 is unaudited) are expensed as incurred and are included in site development expense. The Company defines establishment of the technological feasibility as the completion of a working model. Software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility throughout the period of market availability of the web site are capitalized. Costs eligible for capitalization have been insignificant for all periods presented. Intangible assets Purchased intangible assets are presented at cost, net of accumulated amortization, and are amortized using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses the value of recorded intangible assets for possible impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," ("SFAS 121"), based upon a number of factors including turnover of the acquired workforce and the undiscounted value of expected future operating cash flows. Since inception, the Company has not recorded any provisions for possible impairment of intangible assets. In October 1998, the Company purchased the mailing list, Internet domain name and client database from Sportscape.com for $55,000. The Company is amortizing the balance over a twelve month period. Revenue recognition Merchandise revenue is earned by the Company from the sale of sporting goods through its online retail store. Merchandise revenue is recognized upon the shipment of the merchandise, which occurs only after credit card authorization is obtained. For sales of merchandise, the Company is responsible for establishing prices, processing the orders, and forwarding the information to the manufacturer, distributor or third-party warehouse for shipment. For these transactions, the Company assumes credit risk and is responsible for processing returns. The Company provides for estimated returns at the time of shipment based on historical data. Commission revenue was earned by the Company from catalog partners for transactions processed through the Company's online retail store. Revenue was recognized when the order was transmitted to the catalog partner. In commission sales, the Company processed orders in exchange for a commission on the sale of the vendor's merchandise. At the conclusion of the sale, the Company forwarded the order information to the vendor, which then charged the customer's credit card and shipped the merchandise directly to the customer. In a commission sale transaction, the Company did not take title or possession of the merchandise, and the vendor assumed all the risk of credit card chargebacks. The Company also earned commission revenue from transactions processed on several client sites. Commission revenue from these transactions has been immaterial to date. Revenue from web development services was recognized when the client's site had either been placed on-line or completed to the client's satisfaction, the Company had the right to invoice the customer, collection of the receivable was probable and there were no significant obligations remaining. Advertising costs Advertising costs are expensed as in accordance with Statement of Position 93-7, "Reporting on Advertising Costs." Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, 1998 and the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 were $12,000, $64,000, $541,000, $154,000, and $3.9 milion, respectively. F-8 FOGDOG, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Information for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 is unaudited) Site development costs Site development costs include costs incurred by the Company to develop and enhance the Company's web site. Site development costs are expensed as incurred. Net loss per share Basic net loss per share available to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share available to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes potential common shares if the effect is antidilutive. Potential common shares are composed of Common Stock subject to repurchase rights, incremental shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and incremental shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, net loss per share available to common stockholders includes a charge of $12.9 million to reflect the deemed preferred stock dividend recorded in connection with the Series D Preferred Stock financing. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share available to common stockholders for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Income taxes A current tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the current year. A deferred tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. Pro forma net loss per share (unaudited) Pro forma net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the nine months ended September 30, 1999 is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including the conversion of the Company's Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of the Company's Common Stock effective upon the closing of the Company's initial public offering, as if such conversion occurred at January 1, 1998 or at date of original issuance, if later. The resulting unaudited pro forma adjustment includes an increase in the weighted average shares used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share of 5,299,000 and 16,415,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively. The calculation of pro forma diluted net loss per share excludes Common Stock subject to repurchase agreements and incremental Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants as the effect would be antidilutive. Comprehensive income Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. Comprehensive income, as defined, includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. During each of the three years ended December 31, 1998, and the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 the Company has not had any significant adjustments to net loss that are required to be reported in comprehensive income (loss). F-10 FOGDOG, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Information for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 is unaudited) Segment information Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of Enterprise and Related Information." During each of the three years ended December 31, 1998 and the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 the Company's management focused its business activities on the marketing and sale of sporting goods over the Internet. Since management's primary form of internal reporting is aligned with the marketing and sale of sporting goods, the Company believes it operates in one segment. Revenue from shipments to customers outside of the United States was 0%, 0%, 6%, 0% and 9% for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 and the nine months ended September 30, 1998, and 1999, respectively. Stock-based compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). Under APB 25, unearned compensation is based on the difference, if any, on the date of the grant, between the fair value of the Company's stock and the exercise price. Unearned compensation is amortized and expensed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 28 using the multiple-option approach. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services." Concentration of risk Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investments and trade accounts receivable. Cash equivalents and short-term investments, primarily composed of investments in money market funds and certificates of deposits, are maintained with two institutions and the composition and maturities are regularly monitored by management. For accounts receivable, the Company maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based upon the expected collectibility of all accounts receivable. Because of their short- term nature, the carrying value of all financial instruments approximate their respective fair value. At December 31, 1997, approximately 47% of accounts receivable represented amounts due from three different customers related to web development revenues. At December 31, 1998, two customers accounted for 21% and 15% of accounts receivable for commission-related revenues. Sales to these customers accounted for approximately 25% of revenues in 1997. At September 30, 1999, no customer represented more than 10% of outstanding accounts receivable. The Company relies on a limited number of product manufacturers and third- party distributors to fulfill a large percentage of products offered on the online retail store. While management believes that alternate suppliers could provide product at comparable terms, the loss of any one manufacturer or distributor could delay shipments and have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position and results of operations. F-11 FOGDOG, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Information for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 is unaudited) Recent accounting pronouncements In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"). SOP 98-1 is effective for financial statements for years beginning after December 15, 1998. SOP 98-1 provides guidance over accounting for computer software developed or obtained for internal use including the requirement to capitalize specified costs and amortization of such costs. The adoption of the provisions of SOP 98-1 during the fiscal year beginning January 1, 1999, did not have a material effect on the financial statements. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards of derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. In July 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting with Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS 137"). SFAS 137 deferred the effective date until the first fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2000. The Company will adopt SFAS 133 in its quarter ending June 30, 2000. The Company has not engaged in hedging activities or invested in derivative instruments. Note 2--Balance Sheet Components (in thousands):

(a) In September 1998, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a bank which provided borrowings up to $800,000. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at the prime rate plus one-half percent (8.25% at December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1999) and are payable in equal monthly installments over a twenty-four month period beginning in October 1999. Borrowings for software, furniture, fixtures or telephone equipment are limited to 75% of the invoice amount.

As of September 30, 1999, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants. (b) In December 1997, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a bank which provided for a line of credit and an equipment term loan. Under the line of credit, the Company was permitted to borrow up to $500,000 and was required to keep cash on hand to cover the balance outstanding. At December 31, 1998, the Company had short-term investments of $423,000 collateralized under the agreement. The line of credit bore interest at 8.75%. Interest on the line was payable monthly. The line was paid off and terminated by the Company in September 1999. Under the equipment term loan, the Company can borrow up to $150,000 to be used to purchase capital equipment, furniture, software or other equipment. The term loan bears interest at the prime rate plus one percent (8.75% at December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1999) and is payable in twenty-four equal installments, including interest, commencing on January 28, 1999.

Under the terms of the loan agreements, the Company is prohibited from paying dividends without approval from the bank. Note 4--Acquisition Effective September 3, 1999, the Company merged with Sports Universe, Inc. ("Sports Universe"). Sports Universe sells equipment and apparel for wakeboarding, waterskiing, inline skating, surfing and skateboarding on the Internet. The merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their fair values as of the acquisition date. The total purchase price of approximately $2.1 million consisted of 266,665 shares of Company Common Stock with an estimated fair value of F-13 FOGDOG, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Information for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 is unaudited) approximately $8.00 per share and other acquisition related expenses of approximately $30,000 primarily of payments for professional fees. The purchase price was allocated to net tangible liabilities assumed of $451,000 and goodwill of $2.6 million. The acquired goodwill will be amortized over its estimated useful life of two years. The results of operations for Sports Universe have been included in the Company's operations as of September 3, 1999. The following table summarizes unaudited consolidated information for the Company and Sports Universe (in thousands except per share amounts), giving effect to this merger as if it had occurred on February 9, 1998 ("inception") by consolidating the results of operations of Sports Universe from inception through the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

Contingencies From time to time, the Company may have certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. The Company accrues contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, there are no pending claims of which the outcome is expected to result in a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations or cash flows of the Company. Note 6--Income Taxes: The Company incurred net operating losses for each of the three years ended December 31, 1998 and accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded.

At December 31, 1998, the Company had approximately $4.3 million of federal and $4.7 million of state net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income which expire at various dates through 2019. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amount of and benefits from net operating loss carryforwards may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances. Events which cause limitations in the amount of net operating losses that the Company may utilize in any one year include, but are not limited to, a cumulative ownership change of more than 50%, as defined, over a three year period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following (in thousands):

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

The Company recorded a preferred stock dividend of $12.9 million to reflect the difference between the issuance price of $4.34 and estimated fair value of the Series D Preferred Stock of $8.00. The holders of Convertible Preferred have various rights and preferences as follows: Dividends Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive annual dividends of 8% per share, when and if declared by the Board of Directors prior to the declaration of dividends to holders of Common Stock. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive annual dividends of 8% per share, when and if declared by the Board of Directors prior to the declaration of dividends to holders of Series A Preferred Stock and holders of Common Stock. Holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive annual dividends of 8% per share, when and if declared by the Board of Directors prior to the declaration of dividends to holders of Series A Preferred Stock, holders of Series B Preferred Stock and holders of Common Stock. Holders of Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive annual dividends of 8% per share, when and if declared by the Board of Directors prior to the declaration of dividends to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, holders of Series B Preferred Stock, holders of Series C Preferred Stock and holders of Common Stock. Conversion Each share of Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock based on a formula which results in a one-for-one exchange ratio at September 30, 1999. This formula is subject to adjustment, as defined, which essentially provides adjustments for holders of the Preferred Stock in the event of stock splits or combinations. Such conversion is automatic upon the earlier of (i) the effective date of a public offering of Common Stock resulting in gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000 and at a price per share of at least $5.77 or (ii) written notice to the corporation of the preferred stockholders' intent to convert into shares of Common Stock. Liquidation In the event of liquidation, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a per share distribution in preference to holders of Common Stock equal to the Series A stated value of $0.8438 plus any declared but unpaid dividends. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to a per share distribution preference to F-16 FOGDOG, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Information for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 is unaudited) holders of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Series B stated value of $0.75 plus any declared but unpaid dividends. The holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to a per share distribution preference to holders of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock equal to the Series C stated value of $1.5441 plus any declared but unpaid dividends. The holders of Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to a per share distribution preference to holders of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock equal to the Series D stated value of $4.34 plus any declared but unpaid dividends. In the event funds are sufficient to make a complete distribution to holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock as described above, the remaining assets will be distributed ratably among the holders of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, assuming conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock into Common Stock. If distributions to holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock as described above would reach an aggregate of $1.688, $1.496, $3.089 and $8.660 per share, respectively, the Common Stock holders would receive the remaining assets. Redemption In connection with the Series B Preferred Stock share issuance, holders of Series A Preferred Stock agreed to waive all mandatorily redeemable features associated with their Preferred Stock. The holders of the Series B, Series C and Series D have no redemption rights. Voting The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, voting as separate classes, are entitled to elect one director, each, to the Board. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect two directors to the Board. Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Common Stock, voting together as a single class, are entitled to elect two additional directors to the Board. In addition, the holders of the Common Stock, voting together as a class, are entitled to elect two directors. Additionally, except as required by law, the consent of at least 66-2/3% of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, each voting as separate classes are required to (i) amend the articles of incorporation, (ii) establish any class of capital stock with dividend or liquidation preferences senior to those of the Series A shares or Series B shares or Series C shares or (iii) increase the authorized number of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock. Without the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the number of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, the Company cannot effect any liquidation. Warrants for Preferred Stock In connection with the loan agreement entered into in December 1997, the Company issued to the bank a warrant to purchase 29,630 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The warrant may be exercised at any time between May 1, 1998 and December 24, 2002 at an exercise price of $0.84 per share. The warrant was recorded as a debt discount at its estimated fair value of $8,000. Amortization of the discount was recognized as interest expense over the term of the loan agreement. The warrant automatically converts to a warrant to purchase Common Stock upon the effective date of an initial public offering. F-17 FOGDOG, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Information for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 is unaudited) In connection with the issuance of convertible promissory notes to certain holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in May 1998 and December 1997, the Company issued warrants to purchase 35,556 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The warrants may be exercised at any time prior to December 26, 2002 at an exercise price of $0.84 per share. The warrants were recorded as a debt discount at its estimated fair value of $13,000. Amortization of the discount is being recognized as interest expense over the term of the promissory notes. The warrants automatically convert to warrants to purchase Common Stock upon the effective date of an initial public offering. In May 1998 and December 1997, the Company issued warrants to purchase 24,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to certain members of the Board of Directors for services. The warrants may be exercised at any time prior to May 22, 2003 and December 26, 2002 at an exercise price of $0.84 per share. The warrants automatically convert to warrants to purchase Common Stock upon the effective date of an initial public offering. The estimated fair value of the warrants was $8,000. The Company has not recorded any expense for the estimated fair value of the warrants because such amounts were insignificant. In September 1999, the Company entered into a two-year strategic agreement with Nike USA, Inc. ("Nike") to distribute Nike products over the Company's web site. In exchange for certain online exclusivity rights, the Company granted Nike a fully-vested warrant to purchase 4,114,349 shares of Series C Preferred Stock at $1.54 per share. The warrant automatically converts to a warrant to purchase Common Stock upon the closing of an initial public offering. The Company will expense the estimated fair value of the warrant of approximately $28.8 million over the term of the distribution agreement as marketing and sales expense. The Company estimated the fair value using the Black-Scholes option model with a per share value of $8.00 for the Series C Preferred Stock. The Company estimated the fair value of each warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

At September 30, 1999, there were 6,241,000 shares outstanding of Common Stock. A portion of the shares sold are subject to a right of repurchase by the Company subject to vesting. At December 31, 1997 and 1998 and September 30, 1999, there were approximately 0, 870,000 and 739,000 shares, respectively, subject to repurchase. In September 1997, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split of the Company's Common Stock and Preferred Stock with a corresponding adjustment to outstanding stock options. All common and preferred share and per share data in the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to give effect to the stock split. F-18 FOGDOG, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Information for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 is unaudited) During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company issued 47,413 shares of Common Stock to consultants in exchange for services. In connection with these issuances, the Company recorded expenses of $4,000 based on the fair value of the Common Stock on the date of grant as determined by the Board of Directors. The Board in determining the fair value of the common stock considered, among other things, the relative level of revenues and other operating results, the absence of a public trading market for the Company's securities and the competitive nature of the Company's market. The Company has reserved shares of Common Stock for issuance as follows (in thousands):
September 30, 1999 ------------- (unaudited) Conversion of Series A...................................... 1,786 Conversion of Series B...................................... 6,452 Conversion of Series C...................................... 11,657 Conversion of Series D...................................... 3,529 Common Stock issued......................................... 6,240 Exercise of options under the Equity Incentive Plans........ 5,497 Exercise of warrants issued for Common Stock................ 116 Exercise of warrants issued for Series A Preferred Stock.... 89 Exercise of warrants issued for Series C Preferred Stock.... 4,114 Undesignated................................................ ------ 72,000 ======
The above shares do not include shares reserved under the 1999 Stock and ESPP Plan (See Note 10). Warrants for Common Stock In November 1998, the Company issued fully-vested warrants to purchase 146,667 shares of Common Stock to certain investors for services provided. The warrants were exercisable at the option of the holder at any time prior to March 7, 1999 at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The estimated fair value of the warrants was $2,000. The Company has not recorded any expense for the estimated fair value of the warrants because such amount was insignificant. The warrants were fully exercised in May 1999. In March 1999, the Company issued a fully-vested warrant to purchase 64,763 shares of Common Stock to a distributor in exchange for exclusivity rights. The warrant is exercisable at the option of the holder at any time prior to March 31, 2000 at an exercise price of $1.54 per share. The warrant is recorded as a marketing and sales expense at its estimated fair value of $26,000 over the term of the distribution agreement. In May 1999, the Company issued a fully-vested warrant to purchase 4,167 shares of Common Stock to a distributor in exchange for exclusivity rights. The warrant is exercisable at the option of the holder at any time prior to May 31, 2000, at an exercise price of $4.50 per share. The estimated fair value of the warrant was $3,000. The Company has not recorded any expense for the estimated fair value of the warrants because such amount was insignificant. In September 1999, the Company issued fully-vested warrants to purchase 46,667 shares of Common Stock to distributors in exchange for exclusivity rights. The warrants are exercisable at the option of the holders at any time prior to March 31, 2000 at an exercise price of $4.50 per share. The warrants are recorded as marketing and sales expenses at their estimated fair values of $184,000 over the term of their respective distribution agreements. F-19 FOGDOG, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Information for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 is unaudited) The Company estimated the fair value of each warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

Note 9--Stock Option Plan: In November 1996, the Board of Directors adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") providing for the issuance of incentive and nonstatutory stock options to employees, consultants and outside directors of the Company. The Plan was amended in April 1999 to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance to a total of 10,100,274. Options may be granted at an exercise price at the date of grant of not less than the fair market value per share for incentive stock options and not less than 85% of the fair market value per share for nonstatutory stock options, except for options granted to a person owning greater than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, for which the exercise price of the option must be not less than 110% of the fair market value. The fair market value of the Company's Common Stock is determined by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof. Options granted under the Plan generally become exercisable at a rate of 25% after the first year and ratable each month over the next three years and expire no later than five years after the grant date. The following table summarizes information about stock option transactions under the Plan (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The weighted average remaining contractual life of stock options outstanding at December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1999 was 2.91 and 3.3 years, respectively. Fair value disclosures The Company applies the measurement principles of APB No. 25 in accounting for its stock option plan. Had compensation expense for options granted for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 and the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 been determined based on the fair value at the grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and net loss per share would have decreased to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except per share amounts):

F-21 FOGDOG, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Information for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 is unaudited) The Company calculated the minimum fair value of each option grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as prescribed by SFAS No. 123 using the following assumptions:
Nine Months Ended Year Ended December 31, September 30, ------------------------ -------------------- 1997 1998 1998 1999 ----------- ----------- --------- --------- (unaudited) Risk-free interest rates........ 5.13-5.64% 4.06-5.15% 5.13-5.15% 4.34-5.50% Expected lives (in years)....... 5 5 5 5 Dividend yield.................. 0% 0% 0% 0% Expected volatility............. 0% 0% 0% 0%
Because the determination of fair value of all options granted after such time as the Company becomes a public entity will include an expected volatility factor in addition to the factors described in preceding paragraph, the above results may not be representative of future periods. Unearned stock-based compensation In connection with certain stock option grants, during the year ended December 31, 1998 and the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company recognized unearned stock-based compensation totaling $1,221,000 and $10,874,000, respectively, which is being amortized over the vesting periods of the related options, which is generally four years, using the multiple option approach. Amortization expense recognized for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the nine months ended September 30, 1999 totaled approximately $243,000 and $1,582,000, respectively. In determining the fair market value on each grant date, the Company considered among other things, the relative level of revenues and other operating results, the absence of a public trading market for the Company's securities and the competitive nature of the Company's market. Note 10--Related Party Transactions: In December 1997 and May 1998, certain holders of Series A Preferred Stock received from the Company convertible promissory notes in exchange for $325,000. The notes bore interest at 8% per annum. Under the terms, the notes automatically converted into Series B Preferred Stock at the price per share paid by the outside investors. The notes were converted into 386,905 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in June 1998. Note 11--Subsequent Events: Reincorporation In September 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the reincorporation of the Company in the State of Delaware. As a result of the reincorporation, the Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue the undesignated Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof. The par value of the Preferred Stock and shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock authorized in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1997 and 1998 and in consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998 have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reincorporation. Stock Split In November 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved a two for three reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of common and convertible redeemable preferred stock. F-22 FOGDOG, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Information for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999 is unaudited) All share and per share amounts in these consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for all periods presented have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split. 1999 Stock Plans (unaudited) In September 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1999 Plan"), which will serve as the successor plan to the 1996 Plan. The Board of Directors also approved a 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "1999 ESPP"). These plans will become effective immediately prior to the completion of an initial public offering. The common stock reserved for future issuances under these plans will be 18% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the initial public offering. Additionally, the share reserve in each plan will automatically increase on the first trading day in January each year, beginning with calendar year 2000, equal to the lesser of (i) the number of shares initially reserved for such increase in each respective plan, (ii) 4.25% and 0.75% of the then outstanding shares for the 1999 Plan and the 1999 ESPP, respectively, or (iii) an amount determined by the Board of Directors. F-23 FOGDOG, INC. PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION Effective September 3, 1999, Fogdog, Inc. ("Fogdog") merged with Sports Universe, Inc. ("Sports Universe"). Sports Universe sells equipment and apparel for wakeboarding, waterskiing, inline skating, surfing and skateboarding on the Internet. The merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their fair values at the acquisition date. The total purchase price of approximately $2.1 million consisted of 266,665 shares of Fogdog Common Stock with an estimated fair value of approximately $8.00 per share and other acquisition related expenses of approximately $30,000, consisting primarily of payments for professional fees. The purchase price was allocated to net tangible liabilities assumed of $451,000 and goodwill of $2.6 million. The acquired goodwill will be amortized over its estimated useful life of two years. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations gives effect to this merger as if it had occurred on February 9, 1998 ("inception"), by consolidating the results of operations of Sports Universe from inception through December 31, 1998 and the nine months ended September 30, 1999 with the results of operations of Fogdog.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these pro forma consolidated financial statements F-26 FOGDOG INC. NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION The following adjustments were applied to Fogdog's historical financial statements and those of Sports Universe to arrive at the pro forma consolidated financial information. (A) To record amortization of acquired goodwill totaling $2,583,000 over the estimated period of benefit of two years. (B) Pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share available to common stockholders of the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 and for the year ended December 31, 1998 was computed using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding. Pro forma common equivalent shares, composed of unvested restricted Common Stock, incremental Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants, and outstanding Preferred Stock are included in diluted net loss per share to the extent such shares are dilutive. Differences between historical weighted average shares outstanding and pro forma weighted average shares outstanding used to compute net loss per share results form the inclusion of shares issued in conjunction with the acquisition as if such shares were outstanding as of February 9, 1998 (inception of Sports Universe).

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements F-32 SPORTS UNIVERSE, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Information for the period from inception through June 30, 1998 and the six months ended June 30, 1999 is unaudited) Note 1--The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: The Company Sports Universe, Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated in Delaware on February 9, 1998 ("Inception") for the purpose of selling equipment and apparel for wakeboarding, waterskiing, inline skating, snowboarding, surfing and skateboarding on the Internet. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue recognition The Company's revenues are derived primarily from sales of products over the Internet. Revenues related to product sales are recognized upon shipment by the Company or one of its distribution partners. The Company also derives revenues from Web design, Web hosting, promotion sales and advertising on its web site. The Company recognizes revenue on Web design and Web hosting as the service is provided to the customer and no ongoing obligation exists, and advertising revenue is recognized over the period the advertising is displayed. Restricted cash The Company has cash restricted for use for certain service providers that process customer credit card orders. This cash is used to pay the service providers for amounts not paid for by credit card vendors related to customer orders. As of December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1999 (unaudited), the Company had restricted cash of $3,000 and $7,000, respectively, included in cash. Inventory Inventory is stated at lower of cost or market, cost being determined by the first-in, first-out method. Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at historical cost. Depreciation is computed using straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Computer equipment and office furniture and fixtures are depreciated over three and five years, respectively. For computer equipment under capital leases, the net present value of future lease payments is capitalized at the inception of the lease and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the related asset. From Inception to June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1998 and for the six months ended June 30, 1999 the Company had depreciation and amortization expense of $15,000, $37,000, and $23,000, respectively. The capital leases all have bargain purchase options which allows the Company to purchase the equipment below fair value at the end of the lease. Advertising costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred in accordance with Statement of Position 93-7, "Reporting on Advertising Costs". Advertising costs from Inception to June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1998 and for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 (unaudited) were $19,000, $35,000 and $1,000, respectively. F-33 SPORTS UNIVERSE, INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Information for the period from inception through June 30, 1998 and the six months ended June 30, 1999 is unaudited) Concentration of risks Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable. Cash is deposited with a high quality financial institution. The Company's accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers located in the United States and are dominated in U.S. dollars. Accounts receivable balances are typically settled through customer credit cards and, as a result, the majority of accounts receivable are collected upon processing of credit card transactions. No customer accounts for more than 10% of the revenues or accounts receivable as of June 30, 1999 or December 31, 1998. The Company has a limited number of distribution partners one of which fills a material portion of Company's customer orders. The Company has a distribution agreement with this distribution partner. The loss of this distribution partner could have material adverse effect on Company's statement of operations. Fair value of financial instruments The Company's financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and related party loans, have carrying amounts which approximate fair value due to relatively short maturity of these instruments. Interim financial information The accompanying balance sheet as of June 30, 1999 and the statements of operations and of cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 and from Inception to June 30, 1998 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to financial statements related to these periods is unaudited. The results for the six months ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. Note 2--Balance Sheet Components:

The notes carried an annual interest rate of 10%. Note 4--Income Taxes: The Company incurred a net operating loss for the period from Inception to December 31, 1998 and accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded.

Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amount of and benefits from net operating loss carryforwards may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award or a corporation's board of directors to grant indemnification to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit the indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Article VII, Section 6 of our bylaws provides for mandatory indemnification of our directors and officers and permissible indemnification of employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Our certificate of incorporation provides that, subject to Delaware law, our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of the directors' fiduciary duty as directors to Fogdog Sports and its stockholders. This provision in the certificate of incorporation does not eliminate the directors' fiduciary duty, and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the company or our stockholders for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director's responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws. We have entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors, a form of which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to our registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333- 87819). The indemnification agreements provide our officers and directors with further indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Reference is also made to Section 7 of the underwriting agreement contained in exhibit 1.1 hereto, indemnifying our officers and directors against certain liabilities, and section 1.11 of the Third Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement contained in exhibit 4.2 hereto, indemnifying the parties thereto, including controlling stockholders, against liabilities.

Undertakings We hereby undertake to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

RECITALS A. The Boards of Directors of Target, Merger Sub and Acquiror believe it is in the best interests of their respective companies and the stockholders of their respective companies that Target and Acquiror combine into a single company through the statutory merger of Merger Sub with and into Target (the "Merger") and, in furtherance thereof, have approved the Merger. B. The Boards of Directors of Target, Merger Sub and Acquiror agree that the fair market value of Acquiror Common Stock as of the date hereof is $0.22 per share. C. Pursuant to the Merger, among other things, each outstanding share of capital stock of Target ("Target Capital Stock") shall be converted into the right to receive shares of common stock of Acquiror ("Acquiror Common Stock"), at the rate set forth herein and each outstanding right to acquire capital stock of Target shall be converted into the right to receive Acquiror Common Stock at the rate set forth herein. D. Target, the Principal Stockholders, Merger Sub and Acquiror desire to make certain representations and warranties and other agreements in connection with the Merger. E. The parties intend, by executing this Agreement, to adopt a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and to cause the Merger to qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Sections 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code. F. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement and as an inducement to Acquiror to enter into this Agreement, the Target Stockholders who are stockholders, officers or directors have on the date hereof entered into an agreement to vote the shares of Target's Capital Stock owned by such persons to approve the Merger and against any competing proposals. G. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement and as an inducement to the Principal Stockholders to enter into this Agreement, Acquiror has entered into a letter agreement with Edmond Routhier (the "Employment Agreement") and a letter agreement with Shawn Sharp (the "Consulting Agreement") pursuant to which each has agreed to perform certain services for Acquiror as set forth therein and may be entitled to receive as partial consideration for such services and for their shares of Target Common Stock an option to purchase certain Performance Option Shares (as defined therein, the "Performance Option Shares"). NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows: ARTICLE I THE MERGER ---------- 1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2) and ---------- subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Certificate of Merger") and the --------- applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporations Law ("Delaware Law"), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Target, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Target shall continue as the surviving corporation, with the end result that Target shall be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquiror. Target as the surviving corporation after the Merger is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Surviving Corporation." The holders of Target capital stock at the Effective Time are sometimes referred to herein as the "Target Stockholders." 1.2 Closing; Effective Time. The closing of the transactions contemplated ----------------------- hereby (the "Closing") shall take place as soon as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Article VI hereof or at such other time as the parties hereto agree (the "Closing Date"). The Closing shall take place at the offices of Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison LLP, Two Embarcadero Place, 2200 Geng Road, Palo Alto, California, or at such other location as the parties hereto agree. In connection with the Closing, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing the Certificate of Merger, together with the required officers' certificates, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of Delaware Law (the time of such filing being the "Effective Time"). 1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger -------------------- shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of Delaware Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Target and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Target and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Corporation shall be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquiror. 1.4 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws. ------------------------------------ (a) At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by Delaware Law and such Certificate of Incorporation. (b) At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by Delaware Law, the Certificate of Incorporation and such Bylaws. 2 1.5 Directors and Officers. At the Effective Time, the directors of Merger ---------------------- Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified. The officers of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified. 1.6 Effect on Capital Stock. By virtue of the Merger and without any ----------------------- action on the part of Acquiror, Target or the holders of any of Target's securities: (a) Conversion of Target Capital Stock. The maximum number of ---------------------------------- shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be issued in exchange for the acquisition by Acquiror of all outstanding Target Capital Stock (including shares owned by Acquiror, the "Merger Shares") shall be equal to 400,000 shares (as such number may be appropriately adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and other subdivisions and combinations of Acquiror Common Stock subsequent to the date hereof) less a pro rata portion of such shares which corresponds to the number of Dissenting Shares (as defined below). No adjustment shall be made in the number of Merger Shares as a result of any cash proceeds received by Target from the date hereof to the Closing Date pursuant to the exercise of currently outstanding warrants to acquire Target Capital Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of Target Capital Stock, at the Effective Time, each share of Target Common Stock and any Target Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be cancelled pursuant to Sections 1.6(b) and 1.6(c) and shares, if any, held by persons who have not voted such shares for approval of the Merger and with respect to which such persons shall become entitled to exercise dissenters' rights in accordance with Delaware Law ("Dissenting Shares")) shall be converted and exchanged for the right to receive such percentage of Merger Shares as shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit B hereof (the "Exchange Ratio"). For purposes of determining the - --------- consideration for shares of Target Capital Stock exchanged pursuant to this Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the fair market value of Acquiror Common Stock on the date hereof is $0.22 per share. (b) Termination of Unexercised Convertible Securities of Target. At the Effective Time, each option, warrant or other convertible security which is exercisable for, or convertible into shares of Target Capital Stock which has not been exercised or converted prior to the Effective Time shall be terminated and shall not be assumed by Acquiror, including, without limitation, any stock options granted to employees, consultants and suppliers of Target and any Series A Preferred Stock Warrants. (c) Cancellation of Target Capital Stock Owned by Target. At the ---------------------------------------------------- Effective Time, all shares of Target Capital Stock that are owned by Target as treasury stock, immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof. (d) Adjustments to Exchange Ratio. The Exchange Ratio shall be ----------------------------- adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Acquiror Common Stock or Target Capital Stock), 3 reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Acquiror Common Stock or Target Capital Stock occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time. (e) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of common -------------------------------------- stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one newly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. (f) Dissenters' Rights. Any Dissenting Shares shall not be ------------------ converted into Acquiror Common Stock but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to Delaware Law. Target agrees that, except with the prior written consent of Acquiror, or as required under Delaware Law, it will not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such purchase demand. Each holder of Dissenting Shares ("Dissenting Stockholder") who, pursuant to the provisions of Delaware Law, becomes entitled to payment of the fair value for shares of Target Capital Stock shall receive payment therefor (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, Acquiror shall issue and deliver, upon surrender by such stockholder of certificate or certificates representing shares of Target Capital Stock, the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock to which such stockholder would otherwise be entitled under this Section 1.6 and the Certificate of Merger less the number of shares allocable to such stockholder that have been deposited in the Escrow Fund (as defined below) in respect of such shares of Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.7(b) and Article VIII hereof and the number of Merger Shares shall be correspondingly increased by the same amount by which it was reduced at the time that such shares became Dissenting Shares pursuant to the first sentence of Section 1.6(a). 1.7 Surrender of Certificates. ------------------------- (a) Acquiror to Provide Common Stock. At the Closing, Acquiror -------------------------------- shall deliver to Target the Merger Shares in exchange for shares of Target Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time less the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be deposited into an escrow fund (the "Escrow Fund") pursuant to the requirements of Article VIII, which Acquiror Common Stock shall be issuable to the persons and in the amounts set forth on Exhibit C, and Target will deliver certificates representing at least 90% (at - --------- the Closing) of the issued and outstanding shares of Target Capital Stock to Acquiror properly endorsed for transfer. (b) Exchange Procedures. Upon surrender of a certificate or ------------------- certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Target Capital Stock (a "Certificate") for cancellation at the Closing or to such agent or agents as may be appointed by Acquiror, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing the number of whole shares of Acquiror Common Stock less the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be deposited in the Escrow Fund on such holder's behalf pursuant to Article VIII hereof, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, each outstanding Certificate that, prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Target Capital Stock will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all 4 corporate purposes, other than the payment of dividends, to evidence the ownership of the number of full shares of Acquiror Common Stock into which such shares of Target Capital Stock shall have been so converted. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII hereof, Acquiror shall cause to be distributed to the Escrow Agent (as defined in Article VIII hereof) a certificate or certificates representing ten percent (10%) of the Merger Shares (other than shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options or warrants) which shall be registered in the name of the Escrow Agent as nominee for the holders of Certificates cancelled pursuant to this Section 1.7. The shares distributed to the Escrow Agent shall be shares that are not subject to any repurchase rights by Target. The portion of the Escrow Fund contributed on behalf of each stockholder of Target shall be in proportion to the aggregate Acquiror Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive under Section 1.6(a) hereof. The shares distributed to the Escrow Agent shall be beneficially owned by such holders and shall be held in escrow and shall be available to compensate Acquiror for damages as provided in Article VIII. To the extent not used for such purposes, such shares shall be released, all as provided in Article VIII hereof. (c) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or ------------------------------------------------ other distributions with respect to Acquiror Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Acquiror Common Stock represented thereby until the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to applicable law, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Acquiror Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the time of such surrender, the amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable (but for the provisions of this Section 1.7(c)) with respect to such shares of Acquiror Common Stock. (d) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for shares of Acquiror ---------------------- Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange will have paid to Acquiror or any agent designated by it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for shares of Acquiror Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Acquiror or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable. (e) Dissenting Shares. The provisions of this Section 1.7 shall also ----------------- apply to Dissenting Shares that lose their status as such, except that the obligations of Acquiror under this Section 1.7 shall commence on the date of loss of such status and the holder of such shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange for such shares the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.6 hereof. (f) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Acquiror Common ----------------- Stock will be issued, but in lieu thereof each holder of shares of Target Capital Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.6(a) shall receive from Acquiror an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the 5 product of (i) such fraction, multiplied by $0.22, the fair market value of a share of Acquiror Common Stock on the date hereof. (g) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in ------------ this Section 1.7, none of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or any party hereto shall be liable to any person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. (h) Conditions to Receiving Acquiror Common Stock. Notwithstanding the --------------------------------------------- foregoing provisions of this Section 1.7 or any other provision of this Agreement or any agreement executed in connection herewith, neither Acquiror, Merger Sub nor the Exchange Agent shall have any obligation to make available shares of Acquiror Common Stock to any holder of Target Capital Stock who has not either first (y) executed a Stockholder Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (a "Stockholders' Agreement") or (z) executed a --------- Stockholder Representation Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (a "Stockholders' Representation Agreement"). --------- 1.8 No Further Ownership Rights in Target Capital Stock. All shares of --------------------------------------------------- Acquiror Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Target Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Target Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Target Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. 1.9 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificates -------------------------------------- shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such shares of Acquiror Common Stock as may be required pursuant to Section 1.6; provided, however, that Acquiror may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Acquiror with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. 1.10 Tax Consequences. It is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger ---------------- shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. 1.11 Exemption from Registration; Restricted Stock; Certificate Legends The ------------------------------------------------------------------ shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by reason of Section 4(2) thereof and corresponding provisions of state securities laws. The shares of Acquiror Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal securities laws, and under such laws such shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in limited circumstances. Each certificate evidencing shares of Acquiror Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Article I shall bear a legend substantially similar to the following legend, in addition 6 to any appropriate legend which may be required by state securities laws (which may be affixed to such certificates in the reasonable discretion of Acquiror): THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"). SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION WITHOUT AN EXEMPTION UNDER RULE 144(K) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO FOGDOG, INC. THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. 1.12 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the ------------------------------------------ Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Target, the officers and directors of Target, Acquiror and Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement. ARTICLE II REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF TARGET ---------------------------------------- AND THE PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS ------------------------------ In this Agreement, any reference to any event, change, condition or effect being "material" with respect to any entity or group of entities means any material event, change, condition or effect related to the condition (financial or otherwise), properties, assets (including intangible assets), liabilities, business, prospects, operations or results of operations of such entity or group of entities. In this Agreement, any reference to a "Material Adverse Effect" with respect to any entity or group of entities means any event, change or effect that is materially adverse to the condition (financial or otherwise), properties, assets, liabilities, business, operations or results of prospects, operations of such entity and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. In this Agreement, any reference to a party's "knowledge" means knowledge after due and diligent inquiry of such party's officers, directors and other employees of such party reasonably believed to have knowledge of such matters and, with respect to representations regarding the knowledge of Target, expressly includes, without limitation, the knowledge of the Principal Stockholders. Except as disclosed in a document of even date herewith and delivered by Target to Acquiror prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and referring to the representations and warranties in this Agreement (the "Target Disclosure Schedule"), Target and the Principal Stockholders represent and warrant to Acquiror as follows: 7 2.1 Organization, Standing and Power. Target is a corporation duly -------------------------------- organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. Target has the corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted and as proposed to be conducted and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would have a Material Adverse Effect on Target. Target has delivered a true and correct copy of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws or other charter documents, as applicable, of Target as amended to date, to Acquiror. Target is not in violation of any of the provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. Target does not own and never has owned directly or indirectly any equity or similar interest in, or any interest convertible or exchangeable or exercisable for, any equity or similar interest in, any corporation, subsidiary, partnership, joint venture or other business association or entity. 2.2 Capital Structure. The authorized capital stock of Target consists of ----------------- 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock, all of which were issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the date hereof. Target has not authorized or issued any shares of preferred stock. There are no other outstanding shares of capital stock or voting securities and no outstanding commitments to issue any shares of capital stock or voting securities after the date hereof other than pursuant to certain Series A Preferred Stock Warrants (hereinafter referred to as the "Series A Preferred Warrants") (which rights will be waived or terminated prior to the Closing). All outstanding shares of Target Capital Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and are free of any liens or encumbrances other than any liens or encumbrances created by or imposed upon the holders thereof, and are not subject to preemptive rights or rights of first refusal created by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of Target or any agreement to which Target is a party or by which it is bound, except that certain Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements which are set forth in Section 2.2 of the Target Disclosure Schedule contain rights of first refusal. Section 2.2 of the Target Disclosure Schedule sets forth all of the Target securityholders and the number of shares (or rights to purchase such shares) of Target Capital Stock held by each of them on the date hereof (such portion of Section 2.2 of the Target Disclosure Schedule being hereinafter referred to as the "Target Capitalization Table"). Except for (i) the rights created pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) the rights created pursuant to any Series A Preferred Warrant (which rights will be waived or terminated prior to the Closing), and (iii) Target's right to repurchase any unvested shares under any stock purchase agreement or stock purchase warrant, there are no other options, warrants, calls, rights, commitments or agreements of any character to which Target is a party or by which it is bound obligating Target to issue, deliver, sell, repurchase or redeem, or cause to be issued, delivered, sold, repurchased or redeemed, any shares of capital stock of Target or obligating Target to grant, extend, accelerate the vesting of, change the price of, or otherwise amend, modify or enter into any such option, warrant, call, right, commitment or agreement. The consummation of the Merger shall not cause an acceleration in the vesting or lapse of any restriction or right of any of Target's securities. Except as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Target Disclosure Schedule, there are no contracts, commitments or agreements relating to voting, purchase or sale of Target's capital stock (i) between or among Target and any of its securityholders and (ii) to the Target's knowledge, between or among any of Target's securityholders. True and complete copies of all agreements and instruments relating to stock purchases have been provided to Acquiror and such agreements and instruments have not been amended, modified or supplemented, and there are no agreements to amend, modify or supplement such agreements or instruments in any case from the form 8 provided to Acquiror. All outstanding shares of Target Capital Stock were issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. 2.3 Authority. Target has all requisite corporate power and authority to --------- enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

In the event of termination of this Agreement --------------------- as provided in Section 7.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Acquiror or Target or their respective officers, directors, stockholders or affiliates, except to the extent that such termination results from the willful breach by a party hereto of any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement; provided that the provisions of Section 5.4 (Confidentiality), Section 7.3 (Expenses) and this Section 7.2 shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement. 7.3 Expenses.

ARTICLE VIII ESCROW AND INDEMNIFICATION -------------------------- 8.1 Escrow Fund. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, ten ----------- percent (10%) of the Merger Shares (the "Escrow Shares") shall be registered in the name of, and be deposited with State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A. (or other entity selected by Acquiror with the reasonable consent of Target) as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"), such deposit (together with interest and other income thereon) to constitute the Escrow Fund and to be governed by the terms set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit F. The Escrow Fund shall be available to compensate Acquiror --------- pursuant to the indemnification obligations of the stockholders of Target. The portion of the Escrow Fund contributed on behalf of each stockholder of Target shall be in proportion to the aggregate Acquiror Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive under Section 1.6(a) hereof. In addition to the Escrow Shares, the Principal Stockholders shall deposit the Performance Option Shares they receive under the Employment Agreement or the Consulting Agreement (as applicable) in the Escrow Fund upon purchase of such shares and, except as indicated otherwise herein, such shares shall be governed by the terms set forth herein applicable to the Escrow Shares. Distribution of Escrow Shares and Performance Option Shares to Acquiror as compensation for Damages shall be made as provided below in Sections 8.5, 8.6 and 8.7. 8.2 Indemnification. (a) The Target Stockholders will indemnify and hold harmless Acquiror and its officers, directors, agents and employees, and each person, if any, who controls or may control Acquiror within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (hereinafter referred to individually as an "Indemnified Person" and collectively as "Indemnified Persons") from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, liabilities and expenses arising from claims, demands, actions, causes of action, including, without limitation, legal fees and any and all expenses incurred in investigating, preparing, and defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, and any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation (collectively, "Damages") arising out of any misrepresentation or breach of or default 34 in or nonfulfillment of or in connection with any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements given or made by Target or the Principal Stockholders in this Agreement, the Target Disclosure Schedules or any exhibit or schedule to this Agreement. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Target Stockholders shall be jointly liable for Damages up to the limit of the value of the Escrow Shares and any Damages recovered pursuant to this Article VIII shall be paid from the Escrow Shares prior to recovery from any other source. With respect to claims made for Damages in excess of the value of the Escrow Shares, each Target Stockholder shall be liable only to the extent of the value of his or her pro rata amount of Damages paid pursuant to any Officer's Certificate (such pro rata amount to be based upon, and (except for the Principal Stockholders) limited to a maximum of his or her pro rata amount of the Merger Shares), irrespective of relative fault for such Damages paid. If the Merger Shares have been sold by any Target Stockholder or are otherwise unavailable to compensate the Indemnified Persons for Damages, the Indemnified Persons shall have recourse to the personal assets of the Target Stockholders whose Merger Shares are unavailable up to the value of such Target Stockholder's respective Merger Shares, as determined in accordance with Section 8.5(b) hereof. The Principal Stockholders shall each be personally liable for 50% of any Damages in excess of the value of the Merger Shares recovered or any cash value recovered in lieu of the Merger Shares. The value of any Escrow Shares, Merger Shares or Performance Option Shares shall be determined in accordance with Section 8.5(b) hereof. (c) The Escrow Fund shall be security for, but not a limitation upon, the indemnity obligations of the Target Stockholders, subject to the limitations in this Agreement. The Performance Option Shares shall be additional security for, but not a limitation upon, the indemnity obligations of the Principal Stockholders as indicated herein. (d) No investigation made by or on behalf of Acquiror with respect to Target and the Principal Stockholders shall be deemed to affect Acquiror's reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by Target and the Principal Stockholders contained in this Agreement and shall not be a waiver of Acquiror's rights to indemnity as herein provided for the breach or inaccuracy of, or failure to perform or comply with, any of Target's or the Principal Stockholders' representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement. All representations and warranties of each party set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made again by such party at and as of the Closing. No performance or execution of this Agreement in whole or in part by any party hereto, no course of dealing between or among the parties hereto or any delay or failure on the part of any party in exercising any rights hereunder or at law or in equity, and no investigation by any party hereto shall operate as a waiver of any rights of such party. (e) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting in any way the remedies that may be available to a party in the event of fraud relating to the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants made by any other party in this Agreement. (f) The Principal Stockholders shall have liabilities and obligations for Damages (as defined herein) under this Article VIII only with respect to claims submitted or notice of claims provided during the time period of survivability of the specific representation, warranty, covenant or agreement as set forth herein. Notwithstanding the expiration date of the 35 representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, if Acquiror shall notify the Escrow Agent with respect to the submission of a claim during the time period of survivability of such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in conformity with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, each party's liability or obligation for Damages shall continue in full force and effect until those claims timely made are finally settled. (g) Notwithstanding that Acquiror has participated in drafting the Target Disclosure Schedule, Target and the Principal Stockholders shall nonetheless remain fully liable (except to the extent that recovery against certain individuals may be limited by other provisions of this Article VIII) for any violation of the representations and warranties contained in Article II hereof, regardless of whether or not Acquiror or the Merger Sub or any agent or officer thereof had knowledge (actual or imputed) of any violation of such representations or warranties prior to the date hereof by virtue of such participation. The Indemnified Persons shall be able to rely on the specific disclosures made in the Target Disclosure Schedule as the only exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in Article II hereof. 8.3 Damage Threshold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acquiror may not ---------------- receive any distribution from the Escrow Fund unless and until an Officer's Certificate or Certificates (as defined in Section 8.5 below) identifying Damages the aggregate amount of which exceeds $5,000 have been delivered to a Stockholders Agent and the Escrow Agent as provided in Section 8.5 below and such amount is determined pursuant to this Article VIII to be payable, in which case Acquiror shall receive a distribution of Escrow Shares and/or Performance Option Shares equal in value to the full amount of Acquiror Damages. 8.4 Escrow Period. The escrow period (the "Escrow Period") shall terminate ------------- at 5:00 p.m. San Francisco Time upon the one year anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs; provided, however, that a portion of the Escrow Shares and the Performance Option Shares, which in the judgment of Acquiror, is necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied claims specified in any Officer's Certificate theretofore delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to termination of the Escrow Period with respect to facts and circumstances existing prior to expiration of the Escrow Period ("Unresolved Claims"), shall remain in the Escrow Fund until such Unresolved Claims have been resolved. As soon as all Unresolved Claims have been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to all former Target Stockholders the remaining portion of the Escrow Fund and shall deliver to the Principal Stockholders the remaining portion of the Performance Option Shares. Deliveries of Escrow Shares to the Target Stockholders and deliveries of Performance Option Shares to the Principal Stockholders pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be made in proportion to their respective original contributions to the Escrow Fund. 8.5 Claims upon Escrow Fund. ----------------------- (a) Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent on or before the last day of the Escrow Period of a certificate signed by any officer of Acquiror (an "Officer's Certificate") specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of such Damages included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid, or properly accrued or arose, the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or claim to which such item is related, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Acquiror out of the Escrow Fund, as promptly as practicable, Escrow Shares, Performance Option Shares or other assets held in the Escrow Fund having a value equal to such Damages, 36 provided, however, that except in such instance where a Target Stockholder has - -------- ------- delivered cash in lieu of surrendering Escrow Shares pursuant to Section 8.5(c) below (in which instance such cash may be delivered alongside any Escrow Shares), the Escrow Agent shall deliver all of the Escrow Shares prior to delivering any Performance Option Shares or other assets held in the Escrow Fund. All shares of Acquiror Common Stock subject to such claims shall remain in the Escrow Fund until Damages are actually incurred or paid or the Acquiror determines in its reasonable good faith judgment and certifies to the Escrow Agent that no Damages will be incurred or paid (in which event such shares shall be distributed to the Target Stockholders in accordance with Section 8.4 above). (b) For the purpose of compensating Acquiror for its Damages pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Shares, the Merger Shares and the Performance Option Shares shall be valued at the greater of the fair market value on the date of certification of such claim pursuant to this section, as determined by the Board of Directors of Acquiror acting in good faith, or $2.00 per share, provided, however, that if such certification occurs after the initial public offering of the Acquiror's Common Stock (the Acquiror IPO"), the Escrow Shares, the Merger Shares and the Performance Option Shares shall be valued at the closing price on such date as quoted by the Wall Street Journal (or if such paper is not published on such date, the next preceding date of publication). Acquiror shall set forth such value in each Officer's Certificate identifying Damages. The Escrow Agent may rely on such certificate without inquiry and may assume that the value set forth therein has been determined in good faith in accordance with this Section 8.5(b). (c) Prior to the Acquiror IPO, if any Target Stockholder shall disagree with the fair market value of the Escrow Shares (or if any Principal Stockholder shall disagree with the fair market value of the Performance Option Shares) as determined by the Board of Directors of Acquiror and set forth in an Officer's Certificate as such, such Target Stockholder or Principal Stockholder (as applicable) may elect to pay all (but not less than all) of his or her respective portion of the Damages claimed in such Officer's Certificate in cash in lieu of surrendering Escrow Shares or Performance Option Shares. Any Target Stockholder electing to pay his or her respective Damages in cash must deliver such cash in immediately available funds to the Escrow Agent together with a letter indicating the purpose of such funds not later than 10 calendar days following the receipt of the Officer's Certificate relating to such Damages by either Stockholders' Agent. The date of receipt of any Officer's Certificate shall be determined in accordance with Section 9.2 hereof. If the Escrow Agent shall not receive such funds prior to such time, the Escrow Agent shall, at Acquiror's option, distribute such Target Stockholder's Escrow Shares, or such Principal Stockholder's Performance Option Shares, to the Indemnified Persons and shall return any funds received to such Target Stockholder or Principal Stockholder, as applicable. No interest shall accrue on any cash so delivered irrespective of the amount of time that such cash is held by the Escrow Agent. 8.6 Objections to Claims. At the time of delivery of any Officer's -------------------- Certificate to the Escrow Agent, a duplicate certificate shall be delivered to the Stockholders' Agents and for a period of thirty (30) days after such receipt by the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery of Escrow Shares or Performance Option Shares unless the Escrow Agent or Acquiror shall have received written authorization from a Stockholders' Agent to make such delivery. After the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the Escrow Agent shall make 37 delivery of Escrow Shares or Performance Option Shares, provided, that no such -------- delivery may be made if a Stockholders' Agent shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Acquiror Officer's Certificate, and such statement shall have been received by the Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period. 8.7 Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration. ------------------------------------ (a) In case a Stockholders' Agent shall so object in writing to any claim or claims by Acquiror made in any Officer's Certificate, Acquiror shall have thirty (30) days after receipt by the Escrow Agent or Acquiror of an objection by the Stockholders' Agent to respond in a written statement to the objection of the Stockholders' Agent. (b) If after such thirty (30) day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, the Stockholders' Agents and Acquiror shall attempt in good faith for sixty (60) days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If a Stockholders' Agent and Acquiror should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and shall deliver the Escrow Shares and/or the Performance Option Shares in accordance with the terms thereof. (c) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, either Acquiror or a Stockholders' Agent may, by written notice to the other, demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by three arbitrators. Within fifteen (15) days after such written notice is sent, Acquiror and a Stockholders' Agent shall each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrators as to the validity and amount of any claim in an Officer's Certificate shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and make or withhold payments out of the Escrow Fund in accordance therewith. (d) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held in Santa Clara or San Mateo County, California under the commercial rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. For purposes of this section, in any arbitration hereunder in which any claim or the amount thereof stated in an Officer's Certificate is at issue, Acquiror shall be deemed to be the Non- Prevailing Party unless the arbitrators award Acquiror more than one-half (1/2) of the amount in dispute, plus any amounts not in dispute; otherwise, the Target Stockholders shall be deemed to be the Non-Prevailing Party. The Non-Prevailing Party to an arbitration shall pay its own expenses, the fees of each arbitrator, the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association, and the expenses, including without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs, reasonably incurred by the other party to the arbitration. 38 8.8 Stockholders' Agent. ------------------- (a) In the event that the Merger is approved by the stockholders of Target, effective upon such approval and without further act of any Target Stockholder, Edmond Routhier and Shawn Sharp shall each be appointed and constituted as agents (each in such capacity, together with any successor thereto, a "Stockholders' Agent" and together in such capacity, the "Stockholders' Agents") for and on behalf of the Target Stockholders to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize delivery to Acquiror of the Acquiror Common Stock or other property from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims by Acquiror, to object to such deliveries, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholders' Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing. No bond shall be required of the Stockholders' Agents. Upon resignation, disability or death of either Stockholders' Agent, the holders of a majority in interest in the Escrow Fund (excluding the Performance Option Shares) may designate a successor Stockholders' Agent who shall succeed to all of the rights and privileges of the former Stockholders' Agent; provided that any successor must be a Target Stockholder and, provided further, that such successor may be selected only with the prior written consent of Acquiror, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. Notices or communications to or from either of the Stockholders' ------ Agents shall constitute notice to or from each of the Target Stockholders. In the event of any conflict between communications from the Stockholders Agents, the Company shall be entitled to rely on the communications of either Stockholders' Agent, in the Company's sole discretion. (b) The Stockholders' Agents shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Stockholders' Agent while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Target Stockholders shall severally indemnify the Stockholders' Agents and hold them harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Stockholders' Agents or either of them and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of their duties hereunder. (c) The Stockholders' Agents shall have reasonable access to information about Target and the reasonable assistance of Target's officers and employees for purposes of performing their duties and exercising their rights hereunder, provided that the Stockholders' Agents shall treat confidentially and not disclose any nonpublic information from or about Target to anyone (except on a need to know basis to individuals who agree to treat such information confidentially). 8.9 Actions of the Stockholders' Agent. A decision, act, consent or ---------------------------------- instruction of either Stockholders' Agent shall constitute a decision of all Target Stockholders for whom shares of Acquiror Common Stock otherwise issuable to them are deposited in the Escrow Fund and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Target Stockholder and the other Stockholders' Agent, and the Escrow Agent and Acquiror may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of either Stockholders' Agent as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every such Target Stockholder. The Escrow Agent and Acquiror are hereby relieved from 39 any liability to any person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of either Stockholders' Agent. 8.10 Third-Party Claims. In the event Acquiror becomes aware of a ------------------ third-party claim which Acquiror believes may result in a demand against the Escrow Fund, Acquiror shall promptly notify a Stockholders' Agent of such claim, and the Stockholders' Agents and the Target Stockholders for whom shares of Acquiror Common Stock otherwise issuable to them are deposited in the Escrow Fund shall be entitled, at their expense, to participate in any defense of such claim. Acquiror shall have the right in its sole discretion to settle any such claim; provided, however, that Acquiror may not effect the settlement of any such claim without the consent of either Stockholders' Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that a Stockholders' Agent has consented to any such settlement, neither Stockholders' Agent shall have power or authority to object under Section 8.6 or any other provision of this Article VIII to the amount of any claim by Acquiror against the Escrow Fund for indemnity with respect to such settlement. 8.11 Sole Remedy; Waiver of Rights. Each party hereby acknowledges and ----------------------------- agrees that from and after the Effective Time, its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII, except for claims of fraud. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, from and after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any and all claims, rights and causes of action (other than claims of fraud and claims arising under this Article VIII) it may have relating to this Agreement arising under or based upon any federal, state, local or foreign statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation or otherwise. Nothing in this Section 8.11 shall be construed to limit any claim which could be made for breach of any other agreement among the parties hereto, including, without limitation, the Stockholders' Agreement, the Stockholders' Representation Agreement, the Employment Agreement, the Consulting Agreement, the FIRPTA Certificate, the Escrow Agreement, the Promissory Note which may be delivered by Edmond Routhier in connection with the Employment Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, any Proprietary Information and Invention Agreement (or similar agreement) entered into with Target, Acquiror or the Surviving Corporation, or any legal opinion delivered in connection with this Agreement. ARTICLE IX GENERAL PROVISIONS 9.1 Survival at Effective Time. The representations and warranties set -------------------------- forth in Article II will survive until the expiration of the Escrow Period, except in the event of fraud, in which case they shall survive until the limit of any applicable statute of limitations. The representations and warranties set forth in Article III shall not survive the Closing.

As used herein, the term "Series C Preferred Stock" shall mean the Company's presently authorized Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, any securities of the Company into or for which such Series C Convertible Preferred Stock may hereafter be changed, converted or exchanged, including the underlying Common Stock, and the term "Date of Grant" shall mean September 24, 1999. Upon the conversion of the Company's Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to the Company's charter documents, this Warrant shall represent a warrant to purchase the Company's Common Stock for the same number of shares of Common Stock that such Series C Preferred Stock would have converted into had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such conversion. 1. Term. (a) Period of Exercise. Subject to earlier termination under Subparagraph 1 (b), this Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time from the Date of Grant through March 24, 2003 (the "Expiration Date"). Notwithstanding such Expiration Date, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall survive such termination in accordance with their terms set forth herein. (b) Company Acquisition. In the event the Company or the Majority Holders (as defined below) should enter into any written agreement providing for a Sale of the Company (as defined below), the Company shall give written notice to the Holder of such intended Sale of the Company not fewer than five (5) days prior to the closing date thereof. This Warrant shall automatically be exercised pursuant to Paragraph 2 hereof one (1) business day preceding the closing date of such Sale of the Company (the "Exercise Date"), if not previously exercised; provided however, that such exercise shall be contingent upon the closing of the Sale of the Company actually occurring. The term "Sale of the Company" shall mean a sale, lease, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the property or assets of the Company or the consolidation or merger of the Company with one or more other corporations or other entity or person, or any corporate reorganization, in which shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, own less than 50% of the Company's voting power immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization, other than a merger effected solely for the purpose of reincorporation. The term "Majority Holders" shall mean holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the Company's then outstanding Series A, B, C and D Convertible Preferred Stock, measured as if all such Preferred Stock had been converted to Common Stock. 2. Exercise. (a) Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant. Subject to Paragraph 1 hereof, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly --------- executed) at the principal office of the Company and by the payment to the Company, by check or wire transfer, of an amount equal to the then applicable Warrant Price per share multiplied by the number of Shares then being purchased. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within thirty days of receipt of such notice and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired, a new Warrant representing the portion of the Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder within such thirty-day period. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant and such notice of exercise form, together with the applicable Warrant Price, the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes to be the Holder of record of the Shares, notwithstanding that certificates representing the Shares shall not then be actually delivered to such Holder or that such Shares are not then set forth on the stock transfer books of the Company. (b) Other Property. In case cash, property or securities other than Common Stock shall be payable, deliverable or issuable by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant, then references to Series C Preferred Stock in this Warrant shall be deemed to apply, so far as appropriate and as nearly as may be, to such cash, property or other securities. (c) Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant in the manner provided above in Section 2(a), the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal 2 office of the Company together with notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares computed using the following formula: X = Y(A-B) ------ A X = The number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock (or Common Stock) to be issued to Holder. Y = The number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock (or Common Stock) purchasable under this Warrant (at the date of exercise), or, if this Warrant is exercised in part, the number of shares for which this Warrant is then being exercised. A = The fair market value of one share of Series C Preferred Stock (or Common Stock) at the date of exercise. B = The Warrant Price (in effect on the date of exercise). For purposes of this Section 2(c), fair market value of one share of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors; provided, however, (i) if the exercise is done in connection with or contingent upon the Company's initial public offering of its Common Stock, the fair market value per share shall be the product of (a) the price to public as set forth in the final prospectus relating to such initial public offering and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of exercise, or (ii) after the initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock, if the Company's Common Stock is traded on a national exchange or over-the-counter market, the fair market value per share shall be the average price per share at which trading of the Company's Common Stock closed on the exchange on which such stock is listed, on the thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending one (1) trading day prior to the date of exercise. 3. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Series C Preferred Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder or any Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Warrant Price then in effect. 4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind of securities purchasable under the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows: (a) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions or Combinations. In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Series C 3 Preferred Stock in shares of its Series C Preferred Stock, (ii) subdivide the then outstanding shares of its Series C Preferred Stock into a greater number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, (iii) combine the then outstanding shares of its Series C Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Series C Preferred Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then (A) in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, (B) in the case of clause (iii) the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the effective date of such combination shall be proportionately increased, and (C) in the case of clause (iv) the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant providing that the holder of this Warrant shall upon exercise of such new Warrant be entitled to receive the number and kind of shares of capital stock of the Company which it would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately following such action had this Warrant been exercised in full immediately prior to such time. The aggregate exercise price of such new Warrant shall be equal to the aggregate Warrant Price of this Warrant at the time of such exchange; and effective provision shall be made in such new Warrant so that the provisions set forth herein of the protection of the exercise rights of the Holder of this Warrant (including, without limitation, this Section 4) shall thereafter be made applicable as nearly as reasonably may be, to such new Warrant. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4(a) for a dividend or distribution shall become effective immediately after the record date for the dividend or distribution and an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4(a) for a subdivision, combination or reclassification shall become effective immediately after the effective date of the subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any action listed above shall be taken. In any case in which this Section 4(a) shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the adjustment shall be subject to the occurrence of such event. (b) Adjustment for Reclassifications, Consolidation or Merger. In the case of any reclassification or change of outstanding Series C Preferred Stock (other than those referred to in Section 4(a) other than a change in par value), or in case of any consolidation of the Company with any other corporation or any merger of the Company into another corporation or of another corporation into the Company (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than a change in par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination to which Section 4(a) hereof is applicable) in, the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock), or in case of any sale or transfer to another company or entity (other than by mortgage or pledge) of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, the Company (or its successor in such consolidation or merger) or the purchaser of such properties and assets shall made appropriate provision so that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant for the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock for which this Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, and the holder of this Warrant shall have no other exercise rights under these provisions; provided, that effective provision shall be made, in a new Warrant to be issued 4 to the Holder of this Warrant (the aggregate exercise price of which shall be equal to the aggregate Warrant Price of this Warrant), so that the provisions set forth herein for the protection of the exercise rights of the Holder of this Warrant (including, without limitation, this Section 4) shall thereafter be made applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, to any other shares of stock and other securities and property deliverable upon exercise of such new Warrant; and provided, further, that any such resulting or surviving corporation or purchaser shall expressly assume the obligation to deliver, upon the exercise of the new Warrant, such shares, securities or property as the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive in connection with such transaction, and to make provisions for the protection of the exercise rights as above provided. (c) Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment in the Warrant Price pursuant to paragraph 4(a) or (b), the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted, to the nearest whole share (with one- half share rounded up to the next whole share), to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment in the Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately thereafter. (d) Notice of Other Events. The Company shall provide written notice to the Holder of any dividend or distribution that (i) is not otherwise provided for in this Section 4, and (ii) would result in the Holder's receipt of cash, property or securities of the Company pursuant to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, if the Holder were, at the record date for such dividend or distribution, a holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Such notice shall be provided to Holder at least five (5) days prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution. 5. Representations and Warranties of the Holder and the Company. (a) Representations and Warranties of the Holder. (i) Purchase Entirely for Own Account: Restricted Securities. This Warrant is made with the Holder in reliance upon Holder's representation to the Company, which by Holder's execution of this Warrant Holder hereby confirms, that the Shares are being acquired for investment for its own account, and Holder has no present intention of selling or distributing the Shares or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares (the "Conversion Stock"). The Holder also represents and warrants that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or to any third person, with respect to the Warrant or the Conversion Stock. The Holder understands that the Shares and the Conversion Stock to be purchased by it have not been registered under the Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. The Holder hereby confirms that it has been informed that the Shares may not be resold or transferred unless the Shares are first registered under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Accordingly, the Holder hereby acknowledges that it is prepared to hold the Shares and the Conversion Stock for an indefinite period and that it is aware that Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated under the Act is not presently available to exempt the sale of such securities from 5 the registration requirements of the Act. Should Rule 144 subsequently become available, the Holder is aware that any sale of such securities effected pursuant to the Rule may, depending upon the status of the Holder as an "affiliate" or "non-affiliate" under the Rule, be made only in limited amounts in accordance with the provisions of the Rule, and that in no event may any of such securities be sold pursuant to the Rule until the Holder has held such securities for the requisite holding period. (ii) Disclosure of Information. The Holder believes it has received all of the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Warrant. The Holder has made its own investigation whether or not to invest in the Shares and the Conversion Stock. The Holder further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the Company's business and the terms and conditions pursuant to which it will purchase such securities. (iii) Experience. The Holder is experienced in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies such as the Company and is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Act. Holder represents and warrants that it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Warrant. (iv) Restrictive Legends. In order to reflect the restrictions on disposition of the securities issuable hereunder, the stock certificates representing the Shares and the Conversion Stock will be endorsed with the following legend: "THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

(f) The provisions of this Section 9 shall terminate upon a Sale of the Company. 10. Covenants of the Holder and the Company. (a) Standstill Covenant. The Holder hereby covenants and agrees that from the time that the Company first sells its securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, covering the initial public offering and sale of the Company's Common Stock, until March 24, 2003, neither the Holder nor any of its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents and advisors shall without the prior written consent of the Company: (i) acquire, offer to acquire, or agree to acquire, directly or indirectly, by purchase or otherwise, any voting securities or direct or indirect rights to acquire any voting securities of the Company or any subsidiary thereof, or of any successor to or person in control of the Company, or any assets of the Company or any subsidiary or division thereof or of any such successor or controlling person; (ii) make, or in any way participate, directly or indirectly, in any "solicitation" of "proxies" to vote (as such terms are used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")), or seek to advise or influence any person or entity with respect to the voting of any voting securities of the Company; (iii) make any public announcement with respect to, or submit a proposal for, or offer of (with or without conditions) any extraordinary transaction involving the Company or any of its securities or assets; (iv) form, join or in any way participate in a "group" as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), in connection with any of the foregoing; (v) otherwise act or seek to control or influence the management, Board of Directors or policies of the Company; (vi) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Company to make a public announcement regarding the possibility of any of the events described in clauses (i) through (v) above; or (vii) request the Company or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors, directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this Section 10(a). The Holder shall promptly advise the Company of any inquiry or proposal made by or to it with respect to any of the foregoing. 10 (b) Transfers to Competitors. Except in connection with a Sale of the Company, the Holder hereby covenants and agrees that neither the Holder nor any of its affiliates shall at any time, directly or indirectly, effect a Transfer of any of the Company's securities to an entity or person that is "Competitive" with the business of the Company. Any person or entity who sells sporting goods in a retail format, including online, mail order or brick and mortar, or any new channel of distribution shall be considered "Competitive" with the business of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 10(b), this Section 10(b) shall not restrict sales by the Holder in the open market pursuant to a broker/dealer securities transaction or to an affiliate of the Holder that may be Competitive with the business of the Company. (c) Merger or Acquisition of the Company. If at any time hereafter a Sale of the Company shall occur, then the Holder shall vote all of its shares of capital stock in favor of such transaction or series of related transactions, and all actions required in connection therewith, including but not limited to, amending the then existing Articles of Incorporation of the Company, if eighty percent (80%) or more of the shares of capital stock of the Company held by the holders of the Company's then outstanding preferred stock (other than the Holder) vote in favor of such transaction. If the Company or any shareholder of the Company shall receive an offer from a third party to purchase fifty percent (50%) or more of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company either for cash or securities and if such purchase or sale would not otherwise trigger a vote of the shareholders of the Company and, following appropriate shareholder approval, impose a statutory obligation to participate in the transaction, then if eighty percent (80%) or more of the shares of capital stock of the Company held by the holders of the Company's then outstanding preferred stock (other than the Holder), agree to participate in such sale, then the Holder shall agree to participate fully in any such sale. (d) The Company's Right of First Refusal. (i) If at any time prior to the Company's initial public offering of its Common Stock, except in connection with a Transfer by Holder to an affiliate, the Holder proposes to sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the any of the Company's securities held by Holder, to one or more third parties pursuant to an understanding with such third parties in a transaction, then the Holder shall give the Company written notice of its intention (the "Transfer Notice"), describing the offered shares ("Offered Shares"), the identity of the prospective transferee and the consideration and the material terms and conditions upon which the proposed Transfer is to be made. The Transfer Notice shall certify that the Holder has received a firm offer from the prospective transferee and in good faith believes a binding agreement for Transfer is obtainable on the terms set forth, and shall also include a copy of any written proposal or letter of intent or other agreement relating to the proposed Transfer. The Company shall have an option for a period of twenty (20) days from receipt of the Transfer Notice to purchase the Offered Shares at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice. The Company may exercise such purchase option, in whole or in part, by notifying the Holder in writing, before expiration of the initial twenty (20) day period, as to the number of such shares which it wishes to purchase. If the Company gives the Holder notice that it desires to purchase such shares, then payment for the Offered Shares shall be by check or wire transfer, against delivery of the Offered Shares to be 11 purchased at a place agreed upon between the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefor. (ii) If the Company fails to purchase all of the Offered Shares by exercising the option granted in this Section within the period provided, the Holder shall be entitled for a period of sixty (60) days thereafter to complete the proposed Transfer upon the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice. If the Holder has not so transferred the Offered Shares during such period, the Holder shall not thereafter make a Transfer without again first offering such shares to the Company in the manner provided in this Section.

Until the earlier of (i) the sale of securities of the Company pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company under the Act in connection with the underwritten offering of its securities to the general public is consummated, (ii) the date on which the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Sections 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or (iii) a Sale of the Company, the Company shall deliver to the Holder, so long as such Holder beneficially owns at least 4,000,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and other recapitalizations): (i) as soon as available, but in any event within fifteen (15) days after the end of each month, monthly unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries and monthly unaudited consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its subsidiaries, and all such statements shall be prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), consistently applied, except that they may not contain full footnote disclosures and may be subject to normal year-end adjustments for recurring accruals; (ii) as soon as available but in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with fiscal year 1999, audited consolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year, and audited consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the end of the fiscal year, all prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied; and (iii) not fewer than thirty (30) days, but also not greater than seventy (70) days prior to the end of the Company's fiscal year, an annual budget and operating plan prepared on a monthly basis for the Company and its subsidiaries for the following fiscal year requested (displaying anticipated statements of income and cash flows and balance sheets), approved by the Company's Board of Directors, and promptly upon preparation thereof any material revisions of such annual or other budgets and operating plans. 11.

PURPOSE OF THE PLAN This 1999 Stock Incentive Plan is intended to promote the interests of Fogdog, Inc., a Delaware corporation, by providing eligible persons in the Corporation's service with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an incentive for them to remain in such service. Capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the attached Appendix. II. STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN A. The Plan shall be divided into five separate equity incentives programs: - the Discretionary Option Grant Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock, - the Salary Investment Option Grant Program under which eligible employees may elect to have a portion of their base salary invested each year in special option grants, - the Stock Issuance Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued shares of Common Stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a bonus for services rendered the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary), - the Automatic Option Grant Program under which eligible non-employee Board members shall automatically receive option grants at designated intervals over their period of continued Board service, and - the Director Fee Option Grant Program under which non-employee Board members may elect to have all or any portion of their annual retainer fee otherwise payable in cash applied to a special stock option grant. B. The provisions of Articles One and Seven shall apply to all equity programs under the Plan and shall govern the interests of all persons under the Plan. III. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN A. The Primary Committee shall have sole and exclusive authority to administer the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs with respect to Section 16 Insiders. Administration of the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs with respect to all other persons eligible to participate in those programs may, at the Board's discretion, be vested in the Primary Committee or a Secondary Committee, or the Board may retain the power to administer those programs with respect to all such persons. However, any discretionary option grants or stock issuances for members of the Primary Committee must be authorized by a disinterested majority of the Board. B. Members of the Primary Committee or any Secondary Committee shall serve for such period of time as the Board may determine and may be removed by the Board at any time. The Board may also at any time terminate the functions of any Secondary Committee and reassume all powers and authority previously delegated to such committee. C. Each Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of its administrative functions under the Plan, have full power and authority (subject to the provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for proper administration of the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs and to make such determinations under, and issue such interpretations of, the provisions of those programs and any outstanding options or stock issuances thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. Decisions of the Plan Administrator within the scope of its administrative functions under the Plan shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs under its jurisdiction or any stock option or stock issuance thereunder. D. The Primary Committee shall have the sole and exclusive authority to determine which Section 16 Insiders and other highly compensated Employees shall be eligible for participation in the Salary Investment Option Grant Program for one or more calendar years. However, all option grants under the Salary Investment Option Grant Program shall be made in accordance with the express terms of that program, and the Primary Committee shall not exercise any discretionary functions with respect to the option grants made under that program. E. Service on the Primary Committee or the Secondary Committee shall constitute service as a Board member, and members of each such committee shall accordingly be entitled to full indemnification and reimbursement as Board members for their service on such committee. No member of the Primary Committee or the Secondary Committee shall be liable for any act or omission made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any option grants or stock issuances under the Plan. F. Administration of the Automatic Option Grant and Director Fee Option Grant Programs shall be self-executing in accordance with the terms of those programs, and no Plan Administrator shall exercise any discretionary functions with respect to any option grants or stock issuances made under those programs. 2. IV. ELIGIBILITY A. The persons eligible to participate in the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs are as follows: (i) Employees, (ii) non-employee members of the Board or the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary, and (iii) consultants and other independent advisors who provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary). B. Only Employees who are Section 16 Insiders or other highly compensated individuals shall be eligible to participate in the Salary Investment Option Grant Program. C. Each Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of its administrative jurisdiction under the Plan, have full authority to determine, (i) with respect to the option grants under the Discretionary Option Grant Program, which eligible persons are to receive such grants, the time or times when those grants are to be made, the number of shares to be covered by each such grant, the status of the granted option as either an Incentive Option or a Non-Statutory Option, the time or times when each option is to become exercisable, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the option shares and the maximum term for which the option is to remain outstanding and (ii) with respect to stock issuances under the Stock Issuance Program, which eligible persons are to receive such issuances, the time or times when the issuances are to be made, the number of shares to be issued to each Participant, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the issued shares and the consideration for such shares. D. The Plan Administrator shall have the absolute discretion either to grant options in accordance with the Discretionary Option Grant Program or to effect stock issuances in accordance with the Stock Issuance Program. E. Only non-employee Board members shall be eligible to participate in Automatic Option Grant and the Director Fee Option Grant Programs. V. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN A. The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares repurchased by the Corporation on the open market. The number of shares of Common Stock initially reserved for issuance over the term of the Plan shall not exceed 9,444,947 shares. Such reserve shall consist of (i) the number of shares estimated to remain available for issuance, as of the Plan Effective Date, under the Predecessor Plan as last approved by the Corporation's stockholders, including the shares subject to outstanding options under that Predecessor Plan, (ii) plus an additional increase of 1,200,000 shares to be approved by the Corporation's stockholders prior to the Underwriting Date. B. The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall automatically increase on the first trading day of January of each of the calendar years 3. from 2001 through 2005, by an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last trading day in December of the immediately preceding calendar year, but in no event shall any such annual increase exceed 3,000,000 shares. C. No one person participating in the Plan may receive stock options, separately exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock issuances for more than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate per calendar year. D. Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options (including options incorporated into this Plan from the Predecessor Plan) shall be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent (i) those options expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full or (ii) the options are cancelled in accordance with the cancellation-regrant provisions of Article Two. Unvested shares issued under the Plan and subsequently cancelled or repurchased by the Corporation at the original issue price paid per share, pursuant to the Corporation's repurchase rights under the Plan shall be added back to the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan and shall accordingly be available for reissuance through one or more subsequent option grants or direct stock issuances under the Plan. However, should the exercise price of an option under the Plan be paid with shares of Common Stock or should shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under the Plan be withheld by the Corporation in satisfaction of the withholding taxes incurred in connection with the exercise of an option or the vesting of a stock issuance under the Plan, then the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the gross number of shares for which the option is exercised or which vest under the stock issuance, and not by the net number of shares of Common Stock issued to the holder of such option or stock issuance. Shares of Common Stock underlying one or more stock appreciation rights exercised under Section IV of Article Two, Section III of Article Three, Section II of Article Five or Section III of Article Six of the Plan shall not be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan. 4. E. If any change is made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made by the Plan Administrator to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan, (ii) the maximum number and/or class of securities for w hich any one person may be granted stock options, separately exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock issuances under the Plan per calendar year, (iii) the number and/or class of securities for which grants are subsequently to be made under the Automatic Option Grant Program to new and continuing non-employee Board members, (iv) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding option under the Plan, (v) the number and/or class of securities and exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding option incorporated into this Plan from the Predecessor Plan and (vi) the maximum number and/or class of securities by which the share reserve is to increase automatically each calendar year pursuant to the provisions of Section V.B of this Article One. Such adjustments to the outstanding options are to be effected in a manner which shall preclude the enlargement or dilution of rights and benefits under such options. The adjustments determined by the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. 5. ARTICLE TWO DISCRETIONARY OPTION GRANT PROGRAM ---------------------------------- I. OPTION TERMS Each option shall be evidenced by one or more documents in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that each such document -------- shall comply with the terms specified below. Each document evidencing an Incentive Option shall, in addition, be subject to the provisions of the Plan applicable to such options. A. Exercise Price. -------------- 1. The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator but shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. 2. The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the option and shall, subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Seven and the documents evidencing the option, be payable in one or more of the forms specified below: (i) cash or check made payable to the Corporation, (ii) shares of Common Stock held for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, or (iii) to the extent the option is exercised for vested shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions to (a) a Corporation- designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (b) the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale. Except to the extent such sale and remittance procedure is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date. B. Exercise and Term of Options. Each option shall be exercisable at such ---------------------------- time or times, during such period and for such number of shares as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option. However, no option shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date. 6. C. Effect of Termination of Service. -------------------------------- 1. The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any options held by the Optionee at the time of cessation of Service or death: (i) Any option outstanding at the time of the Optionee's cessation of Service for any reason shall remain exercisable for such period of time thereafter as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option, but no such option shall be exercisable after the expiration of the option term. (ii) Any option held by the Optionee at the time of death and exercisable in whole or in part at that time may be subsequently exercised by the personal representative of the Optionee's estate or by the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee's will or the laws of inheritance or by the Optionee's designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of that option. (iii) Should the Optionee's Service be terminated for Misconduct or should the Optionee otherwise engage in Misconduct while holding one or more outstanding options under this Article Two, then all those options shall terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding. (iv) During the applicable post-Service exercise period, the option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of vested shares for which the option is exercisable on the date of the Optionee's cessation of Service. Upon the expiration of the applicable exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested shares for which the option has not been exercised. However, the option shall, immediately upon the Optionee's cessation of Service, terminate and cease to be outstanding to the extent the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable for vested shares. 2. The Plan Administrator shall have complete discretion, exercisable either at the time an option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to: (i) extend the period of time for which the option is to remain exercisable following the Optionee's cessation of Service from the limited exercise period otherwise in effect for that option to such greater period of time as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the expiration of the option term, and/or (ii) permit the option to be exercised, during the applicable post- Service exercise period, not only with respect to the number of vested shares of Common Stock for which such option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee's cessation of Service but also with respect to one or more additional installments in which the Optionee would have vested had the Optionee continued in Service. 7. D. Stockholder Rights. The holder of an option shall have no stockholder ------------------ rights with respect to the shares subject to the option until such person shall have exercised the option, paid the exercise price and become a holder of record of the purchased shares. E. Repurchase Rights. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to ----------------- grant options which are exercisable for unvested shares of Common Stock. Should the Optionee cease Service while holding such unvested shares, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase, at the exercise price paid per share, any or all of those unvested shares. The terms upon which such repurchase right shall be exercisable (including the period and procedure for exercise and the appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such repurchase right. F. Limited Transferability of Options. During the lifetime of the ---------------------------------- Optionee, Incentive Options shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or the laws of inheritance following the Optionee's death. However, a Non-Statutory Option may be assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee's lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee's family or to a trust established exclusively for one or more such family members or to Optionee's former spouse, to the extent such assignment is in connection with the Optionee's estate plan or pursuant to a domestic relations order. The assigned portion may only be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to the assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee may also designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of his or her outstanding options under this Article Two, and those options shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee's death while holding those options. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred options subject to all the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement evidencing each such transferred option, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which the option may be exercised following the Optionee's death. II. INCENTIVE OPTIONS The terms specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive Options. Except as modified by the provisions of this Section II, all the provisions of Articles One, Two and Seven shall be applicable to Incentive Options. Options which are specifically designated as Non-Statutory Options when issued under the Plan shall not be subject to the terms of this Section II. --- A. Eligibility. Incentive Options may only be granted to Employees. ----------- B. Dollar Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of ----------------- Common Stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) for which one or more options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) may for the first time become exercisable as Incentive Options during any one calendar year shall not exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). 8. To the extent the Employee holds two (2) or more such options which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such options are granted. C. 10% Stockholder. If any Employee to whom an Incentive Option is --------------- granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the exercise price per share shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date, and the option term shall not exceed five (5) years measured from the option grant date. III. CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL A. In the event of any Corporate Transaction, each outstanding option shall automatically accelerate so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. However, an outstanding option shall not become exercisable on such an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) such option is, in connection with the Corporate Transaction, to be assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or (ii) such option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing at the time of the Corporate Transaction on any shares for which the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same exercise/vesting schedule applicable to those option shares or (iii) the acceleration of such option is subject to other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time of the option grant. B. All outstanding repurchase rights shall automatically terminate, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Corporate Transaction, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are to be assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such Corporate Transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase right is issued. C. Immediately following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, all outstanding options shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof). D. Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. Appropriate adjustments to reflect such Corporate Transaction shall also be made to (i) the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain - -------- the same, (ii) the maximum number and/or class of securities available for issuance over the remaining term of the Plan and 9. (iii) the maximum number and/or class of securities for which any one person may be granted stock options, separately exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock issuances under the Plan per calendar year and (iv) the maximum number and/or class of securities by which the share reserve is to increase automatically each calendar year. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation's outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Corporate Transaction, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption of the outstanding options under this Plan, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Corporate Transaction. E. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those options shall, immediately prior to the effective date of such Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to those options and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock, whether or not those options are to be assumed in the Corporate Transaction. In addition, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more of the Corporation's repurchase rights under the Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those rights shall not be assignable in connection with such Corporate Transaction and shall accordingly terminate upon the consummation of such Corporate Transaction, and the shares subject to those terminated rights shall thereupon vest in full. F. The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority to structure one or more outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those options shall become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to those options in the event the Optionee's Service is subsequently terminated by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Corporate Transaction in which those options are assumed and do not otherwise accelerate. In addition, the Plan Administrator may structure one or more of the Corporation's repurchase rights so that those rights shall immediately terminate with respect to any shares held by the Optionee at the time of his or her Involuntary Termination, and the shares subject to those terminated repurchase rights shall accordingly vest in full at that time. G. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those options shall, immediately prior to the effective date of a Change in Control, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to those options and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more of the Corporation's repurchase rights under the Discretionary Option Grant Program so that those rights shall terminate automatically upon the consummation of such Change in Control, and the shares subject to those terminated rights shall thereupon vest in full. Alternatively, the Plan Administrator may condition the automatic acceleration of one or more outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program and the termination of one or more of the 10. Corporation's outstanding repurchase rights under such program upon the subsequent termination of the Optionee's Service by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of such Change in Control. H. The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in connection with a Corporate Transaction or Change in Control shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the accelerated portion of such option shall be exercisable as a Nonstatutory Option under the Federal tax laws. I. The outstanding options shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. IV. CANCELLATION AND REGRANT OF OPTIONS The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the affected option holders, the cancellation of any or all outstanding options under the Discretionary Option Grant Program (including outstanding options incorporated from the Predecessor Plan) and to grant in substitution new options covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock but with an exercise price per share based on the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the new grant date. V. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS A. The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority to grant to selected Optionees tandem stock appreciation rights and/or limited stock appreciation rights. B. The following terms shall govern the grant and exercise of tandem stock appreciation rights: (i) One or more Optionees may be granted the right, exercisable upon such terms as the Plan Administrator may establish, to elect between the exercise of the underlying option for shares of Common Stock and the surrender of that option in exchange for a distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the excess of (a) the Fair Market Value (on the option surrender date) of the number of shares in which the Optionee is at the time vested under the surrendered option (or surrendered portion thereof) over (b) the aggregate exercise price payable for such shares. (ii) No such option surrender shall be effective unless it is approved by the Plan Administrator, either at the time of the actual option surrender or at any earlier time. If the surrender is so approved, then the distribution to which the Optionee shall be entitled may be made in shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the option surrender date, in cash, or partly in shares and partly in cash, as the Plan Administrator shall in its sole discretion deem appropriate. 11. (iii) If the surrender of an option is not approved by the Plan Administrator, then the Optionee shall retain whatever rights the Optionee had under the surrendered option (or surrendered portion thereof) on the option surrender date and may exercise such rights at any time prior to the later of (a) five (5) business days after the receipt of the rejection ----- notice or (b) the last day on which the option is otherwise exercisable in accordance with the terms of the documents evidencing such option, but in no event may such rights be exercised more than ten (10) years after the option grant date. C. The following terms shall govern the grant and exercise of limited stock appreciation rights: (i) One or more Section 16 Insiders may be granted limited stock appreciation rights with respect to their outstanding options. (ii) Upon the occurrence of a Hostile Take-Over, each individual holding one or more options with such a limited stock appreciation right shall have the unconditional right (exercisable for a thirty (30)-day period following such Hostile Take-Over) to surrender each such option to the Corporation. In return for the surrendered option, the Optionee shall receive a cash distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the excess of (A) the Take-Over Price of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such option (whether or not the Optionee is otherwise vested in those shares) over (B) the aggregate exercise price payable for those shares. Such cash distribution shall be paid within five (5) days following the option surrender date. (iii) At the time such limited stock appreciation right is granted, the Plan Administrator shall pre-approve any subsequent exercise of that right in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph C. Accordingly, no further approval of the Plan Administrator or the Board shall be required at the time of the actual option surrender and cash distribution. 12. ARTICLE THREE SALARY INVESTMENT OPTION GRANT PROGRAM -------------------------------------- I. OPTION GRANTS The Primary Committee shall have the sole and exclusive authority to determine the calendar year or years (if any) for which the Salary Investment Option Grant Program is to be in effect and to select the Section 16 Insiders and other highly compensated Employees eligible to participate in the Salary Investment Option Grant Program for such calendar year or years. Each selected individual who elects to participate in the Salary Investment Option Grant Program must, prior to the start of each calendar year of participation, file with the Plan Administrator (or its designate) an irrevocable authorization directing the Corporation to reduce his or her base salary for that calendar year by an amount not less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) nor more than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00). Each individual who files such a timely authorization shall automatically be granted an option under the Salary Investment Grant Program on the first trading day in January of the calendar year for which the salary reduction is to be in effect. II. OPTION TERMS Each option shall be a Non-Statutory Option evidenced by one or more documents in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, -------- that each such document shall comply with the terms specified below. A. Exercise Price. -------------- 1. The exercise price per share shall be thirty-three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. 2. The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the option and shall be payable in one or more of the alternative forms authorized under the Discretionary Option Grant Program. Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure specified thereunder is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date. B. Number of Option Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock ----------------------- subject to the option shall be determined pursuant to the following formula (rounded down to the nearest whole number): X = A / (B x 66-2/3%), where X is the number of option shares, 13. A is the dollar amount of the reduction in the Optionee's base salary for the calendar year to be in effect pursuant to this program, and B is the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. C. Exercise and Term of Options. The option shall become exercisable in a ---------------------------- series of twelve (12) successive equal monthly installments upon the Optionee's completion of each calendar month of Service in the calendar year for which the salary reduction is in effect. Each option shall have a maximum term of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date. D. Effect of Termination of Service. Should the Optionee cease Service -------------------------------- for any reason while holding one or more options under this Article Three, then each such option shall remain exercisable, for any or all of the shares for which the option is exercisable at the time of such cessation of Service, until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term or (ii) the ------- expiration of the three (3)-year period measured from the date of such cessation of Service. Should the Optionee die while holding one or more options under this Article Three, then each such option may be exercised, for any or all of the shares for which the option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee's cessation of Service (less any shares subsequently purchased by Optionee prior to death), by the personal representative of the Optionee's estate or by the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee's will or the laws of inheritance or by the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of the option. Such right of exercise shall lapse, and the option shall terminate, upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year ------- option term or (ii) the three (3)-year period measured from the date of the Optionee's cessation of Service. However, the option shall, immediately upon the Optionee's cessation of Service for any reason, terminate and cease to remain outstanding with respect to any and all shares of Common Stock for which the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable. III. CORPORATE TRANSACTION/ CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER A. In the event of any Corporate Transaction while the Optionee remains in Service, each outstanding option held by such Optionee under this Salary Investment Option Grant Program shall automatically accelerate so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. Each such outstanding option shall terminate immediately following the Corporate Transaction, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in such Corporate Transaction. Any option so assumed and shall remain exercisable for the fully- vested shares until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year ------- option term or (ii) the expiration of the three (3)-year period measured from the date of the Optionee's cessation of Service. B. In the event of a Change in Control while the Optionee remains in Service, each outstanding option held by such Optionee under this Salary Investment Option Grant Program shall automatically accelerate so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock 14. at the time subject to such option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. The option shall remain so exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the expiration of the ten -------- (10)-year option term, (ii) the expiration of the three (3)-year period measured from the date of the Optionee's cessation of Service, (iii) the termination of the option in connection with a Corporate Transaction or (iv) the surrender of the option in connection with a Hostile Take-Over. C. Upon the occurrence of a Hostile Take-Over, the Optionee shall have a thirty (30)-day period in which to surrender to the Corporation each outstanding option granted him or her under the Salary Investment Option Grant Program. The Optionee shall in return be entitled to a cash distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the Take-Over Price of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to the surrendered option (whether or not the option is otherwise at the time exercisable for those shares) over (ii) the aggregate exercise price payable for such shares. Such cash distribution shall be paid within five (5) days following the surrender of the option to the Corporation. The Primary Committee shall, at the time the option with such limited stock appreciation right is granted under the Salary Investment Option Grant Program, pre-approve any subsequent exercise of that right in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph C. Accordingly, no further approval of the Primary Committee or the Board shall be required at the time of the actual option surrender and cash distribution. D. Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such -------- securities shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation's outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Corporate Transaction, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption of the outstanding options under this Plan, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Corporate Transaction. E. The grant of options under the Salary Investment Option Grant Program shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. IV. REMAINING TERMS The remaining terms of each option granted under the Salary Investment Option Grant Program shall be the same as the terms in effect for option grants made under the Discretionary Option Grant Program. 15. ARTICLE FOUR STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM ---------------------- I. STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program through direct and immediate issuances without any intervening option grants. Each such stock issuance shall be evidenced by a Stock Issuance Agreement which complies with the terms specified below. Shares of Common Stock may also be issued under the Stock Issuance Program pursuant to share right awards which entitle the recipients to receive those shares upon the attainment of designated performance goals. A. Purchase Price. -------------- 1. The purchase price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator, but shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the issuance date. 2. Subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Seven, shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program for any of the following items of consideration which the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate in each individual instance: (i) cash or check made payable to the Corporation, or (ii) past services rendered to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary). B. Vesting Provisions. ------------------ 1. Shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program may, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be fully and immediately vested upon issuance or may vest in one or more installments over the Participant's period of Service or upon attainment of specified performance objectives. The elements of the vesting schedule applicable to any unvested shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and incorporated into the Stock Issuance Agreement. Shares of Common Stock may also be issued under the Stock Issuance Program pursuant to share right awards which entitle the recipients to receive those shares upon the attainment of designated performance goals. 2. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which the Participant may have the right to receive with respect to the Participant's unvested shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or 16. other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation's receipt of consideration shall be issued subject to (i) the same vesting requirements applicable to the Participant's unvested shares of Common Stock and (ii) such escrow arrangements as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate. 3. The Participant shall have full stockholder rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant under the Stock Issuance Program, whether or not the Participant's interest in those shares is vested. Accordingly, the Participant shall have the right to vote such shares and to receive any regular cash dividends paid on such shares. 4. Should the Participant cease to remain in Service while holding one or more unvested shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program or should the performance objectives not be attained with respect to one or more such unvested shares of Common Stock, then those shares shall be immediately surrendered to the Corporation for cancellation, and the Participant shall have no further stockholder rights with respect to those shares. To the extent the surrendered shares were previously issued to the Participant for consideration paid in cash or cash equivalent (including the Participant's purchase-money indebtedness), the Corporation shall repay to the Participant the cash consideration paid for the surrendered shares and shall cancel the unpaid principal balance of any outstanding purchase-money note of the Participant attributable to the surrendered shares. 5. The Plan Administrator may in its discretion waive the surrender and cancellation of one or more unvested shares of Common Stock which would otherwise occur upon the cessation of the Participant's Service or the non-attainment of the performance objectives applicable to those shares. Such waiver shall result in the immediate vesting of the Participant's interest in the shares of Common Stock as to which the waiver applies. Such waiver may be effected at any time, whether before or after the Participant's cessation of Service or the attainment or non-attainment of the applicable performance objectives. 6. Outstanding share right awards under the Stock Issuance Program shall automatically terminate, and no shares of Common Stock shall actually be issued in satisfaction of those awards, if the performance goals established for such awards are not attained. The Plan Administrator, however, shall have the discretionary authority to issue shares of Common Stock under one or more outstanding share right awards as to which the designated performance goals have not been attained. II. CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL A. All of the Corporation's outstanding repurchase rights under the Stock Issuance Program shall terminate automatically, and all the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Corporate Transaction, except to the extent (i) those repurchase rights are to be assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such Corporate Transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed in the Stock Issuance Agreement. 17. B. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more of the Corporation's repurchase rights under the Stock Issuance Program so that those rights shall automatically terminate in whole or in part, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest, in the event the Participant's Service should subsequently terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Corporate Transaction in which those repurchase rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof). C. The Plan Administrator shall also have the discretionary authority to structure one or more of the Corporation's repurchase rights under the Stock Issuance Program so that those rights shall automatically terminate in whole or in part, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest, in the event the Participant's Service should subsequently terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Change in Control. III. SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS Unvested shares may, in the Plan Administrator's discretion, be held in escrow by the Corporation until the Participant's interest in such shares vests or may be issued directly to the Participant with restrictive legends on the certificates evidencing those unvested shares. 18. ARTICLE FIVE AUTOMATIC OPTION GRANT PROGRAM ------------------------------ I. OPTION TERMS A. Grant Dates. Option grants shall be made on the dates specified ----------- below: 1. Each individual who is first elected or appointed as a non- employee Board member at any time on or after the Underwriting Date shall automatically be granted, on the date of such initial election or appointment, a Non-Statutory Option to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock, provided that individual has not previously been in the employ of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary. 2. On the date of each Annual Stockholders Meeting held after the Underwriting Date, each individual who is to continue to serve as an Eligible Director, whether or not that individual is standing for re-election to the Board at that particular Annual Meeting, shall automatically be granted a Non- Statutory Option to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock, provided such individual has served as a non-employee Board member for at least six (6) months. There shall be no limit on the number of such 2,500-share option grants any one Eligible Director may receive over his or her period of Board service, and non-employee Board members who have previously been in the employ of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary) or who have otherwise received one or more stock option grants from the Corporation prior to the Underwriting Date shall be eligible to receive one or more such annual option grants over their period of continued Board service. B. Exercise Price. -------------- 1. The exercise price per share shall be equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. 2. The exercise price shall be payable in one or more of the alternative forms authorized under the Discretionary Option Grant Program. Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure specified thereunder is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date. C. Option Term. Each option shall have a term of ten (10) years ----------- measured from the option grant date. D. Exercise and Vesting of Options. Each option shall be immediately ------------------------------- exercisable for any or all of the option shares. However, any unvested shares purchased under the option shall be subject to repurchase by the Corporation, at the exercise price paid per share, upon the Optionee's cessation of Board service prior to vesting in those shares. The shares subject to each initial 10,000-share grant shall vest, and the Corporation's repurchase right shall lapse, in a series of four (4) successive equal annual installments upon the Optionee's completion of each year of service as a Board member over the four (4)-year period measured from the 19. option grant date. The shares subject to each annual 2,500-share option grant shall vest up the Optionee's completion of one (1)-year of Board service measured from the grant. E. Limited Transferability of Options. Each option under this ---------------------------------- Article Five may be assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee's lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee's family or to a trust established exclusively for one or more such family members or to Optionee's former spouse, to the extent such assignment is in connection with the Optionee's estate plan or pursuant to domestic relations order. The assigned portion may only be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to the assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate. The Optionee may also designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of his or her outstanding options under this Article Five, and those options shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee's death while holding those options. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred options subject to all the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement evidencing each such transferred option, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which the option may be exercised following the Optionee's death. F. Termination of Board Service. The following provisions shall ---------------------------- govern the exercise of any options held by the Optionee at the time the Optionee ceases to serve as a Board member: (i) The Optionee (or, in the event of Optionee's death, the personal representative of the Optionee's estate or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee's will or the laws of inheritance or the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of such option) shall have a twelve (12)-month period following the date of such cessation of Board service in which to exercise each such option. (ii) During the twelve (12)-month exercise period, the option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of vested shares of Common Stock for which the option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee's cessation of Board service. (iii) Should the Optionee cease to serve as a Board member by reason of death or Permanent Disability, then all shares at the time subject to the option shall immediately vest so that such option may, during the twelve (12)-month exercise period following such cessation of Board service, be exercised for all or any portion of those shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. 20. (iv) In no event shall the option remain exercisable after the expiration of the option term. Upon the expiration of the twelve (12)-month exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested shares for which the option has not been exercised. However, the option shall, immediately upon the Optionee's cessation of Board service for any reason other than death or Permanent Disability, terminate and cease to be outstanding to the extent the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable for vested shares. II. CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER A. In the event of any Corporate Transaction, the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to each outstanding option but not otherwise vested shall automatically vest in full so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all the option shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock and may be exercised for any or all of those vested shares. Immediately following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, each automatic option grant shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof). B. In connection with any Change in Control, the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to each outstanding option but not otherwise vested shall automatically vest in full so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become exercisable for all the option shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock and may be exercised for any or all of those vested shares. Each such option shall remain exercisable for such fully-vested option shares until the expiration or sooner termination of the option term or the surrender of the option in connection with a Hostile Take-Over. C. All outstanding repurchase rights shall automatically terminate, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Corporate Transaction or Change in Control. D. Upon the occurrence of a Hostile Take-Over, the Optionee shall have a thirty (30)-day period in which to surrender to the Corporation each of his or her outstanding automatic option grants. The Optionee shall in return be entitled to a cash distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the Take-Over Price of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to each surrendered option (whether or not the Optionee is otherwise at the time vested in those shares) over (ii) the aggregate exercise price payable for such shares. Such cash distribution shall be paid within five (5) days following the surrender of the option to the Corporation. No approval or consent of the Board or any Plan Administrator shall be required at the time of the actual option surrender and cash distribution. E. Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such 21. Corporate Transaction. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the -------- aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation's outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Corporate Transaction, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption of the outstanding options under this Plan, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Corporate Transaction. F. The grant of options under the Automatic Option Grant Program shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. III. REMAINING TERMS The remaining terms of each option granted under the Automatic Option Grant Program shall be the same as the terms in effect for option grants made under the Discretionary Option Grant Program. 22. ARTICLE SIX DIRECTOR FEE OPTION GRANT PROGRAM --------------------------------- I. OPTION GRANTS The Primary Committee shall have the sole and exclusive authority to determine the calendar year or years for which the Director Fee Option Grant Program is to be in effect.

Such election must be filed with the Corporation's Chief Financial Officer prior to the first day of the calendar year for which the annual retainer fee which is the subject of that election is otherwise payable.

Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure specified thereunder is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date. B. Number of Option Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock ----------------------- subject to the option shall be determined pursuant to the following formula (rounded down to the nearest whole number): X = A / (B x 66-2/3%), where X is the number of option shares, A is the portion of the annual retainer fee subject to the non- employee Board member's election, and 23. B is the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. C. Exercise and Term of Options. The option shall become exercisable ---------------------------- in a series of twelve (12) equal monthly installments upon the Optionee's completion of each calendar month of Board service during the calendar year for which the retainer fee election is in effect.

Each option under this ---------------------------------- Article Six may be assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee's lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee's family or to a trust established exclusively for one or more such family members or to Optionee's former spouse, to the extent such assignment is in connection with Optionee's estate plan or pursuant to a domestic relations order. The assigned portion may only be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to the assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate. The Optionee may also designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of his or her outstanding options under this Article Six, and those options shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee's death while holding those options. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred options subject to all the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement evidencing each such transferred option, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which the option may be exercised following the Optionee's death. E. Termination of Board Service. Should the Optionee cease Board service for any reason (other than death or Permanent Disability) while holding one or more options under this Director Fee Option Grant Program, then each such option shall remain exercisable, for any or all of the shares for which the option is exercisable at the time of such cessation of Board service, until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term or (ii) the - ------- expiration of the three (3)-year period measured from the date of such cessation of Board service. However, each option held by the Optionee under this Director Fee Option Grant Program at the time of his or her cessation of Board service shall immediately terminate and cease to remain outstanding with respect to any and all shares of Common Stock for which the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable. F. Death or Permanent Disability. Should the Optionee's service as a Board member cease by reason of death or Permanent Disability, then each option held by such Optionee under this Director Fee Option Grant Program shall immediately become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to that option, and the option may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully-vested shares until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten ------- (10)-year option term or (ii) the expiration of the three (3)-year period measured from the date of such cessation of Board service. In the event of the Optionee's death while holding such option, the option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Optionee's estate or by the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee's will or the laws of inheritance or by the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of such option. 24. Should the Optionee die after cessation of Board service but while holding one or more options under this Director Fee Option Grant Program, then each such option may be exercised, for any or all of the shares for which the option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee's cessation of Board service (less any shares subsequently purchased by Optionee prior to death), by the personal representative of the Optionee's estate or by the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee's will or the laws of inheritance or by the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of such option. Such right of exercise shall lapse, and the option shall terminate, upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term or (ii) the three - ------- (3)-year period measured from the date of the Optionee's cessation of Board service. III. CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER A.

Each such outstanding option shall terminate immediately following the Corporate Transaction, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in such Corporate Transaction. Any option so assumed and shall remain exercisable for the fully- vested shares until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year ------- option term or (ii) the expiration of the three (3)-year period measured from the date of the Optionee's cessation of Board service. B. In the event of a Change in Control while the Optionee remains in Service, each outstanding option held by such Optionee under this Director Fee Option Grant Program shall automatically accelerate so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. The option shall remain so exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term, (ii) - -------- the expiration of the three (3)-year period measured from the date of the Optionee's cessation of Board service, (iii) the termination of the option in connection with a Corporate Transaction or (iv) the surrender of the option in connection with a Hostile Take-Over. C. Upon the occurrence of a Hostile Take-Over, the Optionee shall have a thirty (30)-day period in which to surrender to the Corporation each outstanding option granted him or her under the Director Fee Option Grant Program. The Optionee shall in return be entitled to a cash distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the Take-Over Price of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to each surrendered option (whether or not the option is otherwise at the time exercisable for those shares) over (ii) the aggregate exercise price payable for such shares. Such cash distribution shall be paid within five (5) days following the surrender of the option to the Corporation. No approval or consent of the Board or any Plan Administrator shall be required at the time of the actual option surrender and cash distribution. 25. D. Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price -------- payable for such securities shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation's outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Corporate Transaction, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption of the outstanding options under this Plan, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Corporate Transaction. E. The grant of options under the Director Fee Option Grant Program shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. IV. REMAINING TERMS The remaining terms of each option granted under this Director Fee Option Grant Program shall be the same as the terms in effect for option grants made under the Discretionary Option Grant Program. 26. ARTICLE SEVEN MISCELLANEOUS ------------- I. FINANCING The Plan Administrator may permit any Optionee or Participant to pay the option exercise price under the Discretionary Option Grant Program or the purchase price of shares issued under the Stock Issuance Program by delivering a full-recourse, interest bearing promissory note payable in one or more installments. The terms of any such promissory note (including the interest rate and the terms of repayment) shall be established by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion. In no event may the maximum credit available to the Optionee or Participant exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate option exercise price or purchase price payable for the purchased shares (less the par value of such shares) plus (ii) any Federal, state and local income and employment tax liability incurred by the Optionee or the Participant in connection with the option exercise or share purchase. II. TAX WITHHOLDING A. The Corporation's obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of options or the issuance or vesting of such shares under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements. B.

Such right may be provided to any such holder in either or both of the following formats: Stock Withholding: The election to have the Corporation withhold, ----------------- from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the exercise of such Non-Statutory Option or the vesting of such shares, a portion of those shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the percentage of the Withholding Taxes (not to exceed one hundred percent (100%)) designated by the holder. Stock Delivery: The election to deliver to the Corporation, at -------------- the time the Non-Statutory Option is exercised or the shares vest, one or more shares of Common Stock previously acquired by such holder (other than in connection with the option exercise or share vesting triggering the Withholding Taxes) with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the percentage of the Withholding Taxes (not to exceed one hundred percent (100%)) designated by the holder. 27. III. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN A. The Plan shall become effective immediately on the Plan Effective Date. However, the Salary Investment Option Grant Program and the Director Fee Option Grant Program shall not be implemented until such time as the Primary Committee may deem appropriate. Options may be granted under the Discretionary Option Grant at any time on or after the Plan Effective Date, and the initial option grants under the Automatic Option Grant Program shall also be made on the Plan Effective Date to any non-employee Board members eligible for such grants at that time. However, no options granted under the Plan may be exercised, and no shares shall be issued under the Plan, until the Plan is approved by the Corporation's stockholders. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the Plan Effective Date, then all options previously granted under this Plan shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, and no further options shall be granted and no shares shall be issued under the Plan. B. The Plan shall serve as the successor to the Predecessor Plan, and no further option grants or direct stock issuances shall be made under the Predecessor Plan after the Plan Effective Date. All options outstanding under the Predecessor Plan on the Plan Effective Date shall be incorporated into the Plan at that time and shall be treated as outstanding options under the Plan. However, each outstanding option so incorporated shall continue to be governed solely by the terms of the documents evidencing such option, and no provision of the Plan shall be deemed to affect or otherwise modify the rights or obligations of the holders of such incorporated options with respect to their acquisition of shares of Common Stock. C. One or more provisions of the Plan, including (without limitation) the option/vesting acceleration provisions of Article Two relating to Corporate Transactions and Changes in Control, may, in the Plan Administrator's discretion, be extended to one or more options incorporated from the Predecessor Plan which do not otherwise contain such provisions. D. The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) -------- September 30, 2009, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan shall have been issued as fully-vested shares or (iii) the termination of all outstanding options in connection with a Corporate Transaction.

Capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the attached Appendix. II. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to interpret and construe any provision of the Plan and to adopt such rules and regulations for administering the Plan as it may deem necessary in order to comply with the requirements of Code Section 423. Decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties having an interest in the Plan. III. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN A. The stock purchasable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares of Common Stock purchased on the open market. The number of shares of Common Stock initially reserved for issuance over the term of the Plan shall be limited to 500,000 shares. B. The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall automatically increase on the first trading day of January of each of the calendar years from 2001 through 2005, by an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last trading day in December of the immediately preceding calendar year, but in no event shall any such annual increase exceed 1,000,000 shares. C. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and class of securities issuable under the Plan, (ii) the maximum number and class of securities purchasable per Participant on any one Purchase Date, (iii) the maximum number and class of securities purchasable in total by all Participants on any one Purchase Date, (iv) the maximum number and/or class of securities by which the share reserve is to increase automatically each calendar year pursuant to the provisions of Section III.B of this Article One and (v) the number and class of securities and the price per share in effect under each outstanding purchase right in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits thereunder. IV. OFFERING PERIODS A. Shares of Common Stock shall be offered for purchase under the Plan through a series of successive offering periods until such time as (i) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall have been purchased or (ii) the Plan shall have been sooner terminated. B. Each offering period shall be of such duration (not to exceed twenty-four (24) months) as determined by the Plan Administrator prior to the start date of such offering period. However, the initial offering period shall commence at the Effective Time and terminate on the last business day in January 2002. The next offering period shall commence on the first business day in February 2002, and subsequent offering periods shall commence as designated by the Plan Administrator. C. Each offering period shall be comprised of a series of one or more successive Purchase Intervals. Purchase Intervals shall run from the first business day in February to the last business day in July each year and from the first business day in August each year to the last business day in January in the following year. However, the first Purchase Interval in effect under the initial offering period shall commence at the Effective Time and terminate on the last business day in July 2000. D. Should the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on any Purchase Date within an offering period be less than the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the start date of that offering period, then that offering period shall automatically terminate immediately after the purchase of shares of Common Stock on such Purchase Date, and a new offering period shall commence on the next business day following such Purchase Date. The new offering period shall have a duration of twenty (24) months, unless a shorter duration is established by the Plan Administrator within five (5) business days following the start date of that offering period. V. ELIGIBILITY A. Each individual who is an Eligible Employee on the start date of any offering period under the Plan may enter that offering period on such start date or on any subsequent Semi-Annual Entry Date within that offering period, provided he or she remains an Eligible Employee. B. Each individual who first becomes an Eligible Employee after the start date of an offering period may enter that offering period on any subsequent Semi-Annual Entry Date within that offering period on which he or she is an Eligible Employee. 2. C. The date an individual enters an offering period shall be designated his or her Entry Date for purposes of that offering period. D. To participate in the Plan for a particular offering period, the Eligible Employee must complete the enrollment forms prescribed by the Plan Administrator (including a stock purchase agreement and a payroll deduction authorization) and file such forms with the Plan Administrator (or its designate) on or before his or her scheduled Entry Date. VI. PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS A. The payroll deduction authorized by the Participant for purposes of acquiring shares of Common Stock during an offering period may be any multiple of one percent (1%) of the Cash Earnings paid to the Participant during each Purchase Interval within that offering period, up to a maximum of fifteen percent (15%). The deduction rate so authorized shall continue in effect throughout the offering period, except to the extent such rate is changed in accordance with the following guidelines: (i) The Participant may, at any time during the offering period, reduce his or her rate of payroll deduction to become effective as soon as possible after filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator. The Participant may not, however, effect more than one (1) such reduction per Purchase Interval. (ii) The Participant may, prior to the commencement of any new Purchase Interval within the offering period, increase the rate of his or her payroll deduction by filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator. The new rate (which may not exceed the fifteen percent (15%) maximum) shall become effective on the start date of the first Purchase Interval following the filing of such form. B. Payroll deductions shall begin on the first pay day administratively feasible following the Participant's Entry Date into the offering period and shall (unless sooner terminated by the Participant) continue through the pay day ending with or immediately prior to the last day of that offering period. The amounts so collected shall be credited to the Participant's book account under the Plan, but no interest shall be paid on the balance from time to time outstanding in such account. The amounts collected from the Participant shall not be required to be held in any segregated account or trust fund and may be commingled with the general assets of the Corporation and used for general corporate purposes. C. Payroll deductions shall automatically cease upon the termination of the Participant's purchase right in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. D. The Participant's acquisition of Common Stock under the Plan on any Purchase Date shall neither limit nor require the Participant's acquisition of Common Stock on any subsequent Purchase Date, whether within the same or a different offering period. 3. VII. PURCHASE RIGHTS A. Grant of Purchase Rights. A Participant shall be granted a ------------------------ separate purchase right for each offering period in which he or she participates. The purchase right shall be granted on the Participant's Entry Date into the offering period and shall provide the Participant with the right to purchase shares of Common Stock, in a series of successive installments over the remainder of such offering period, upon the terms set forth below. The Participant shall execute a stock purchase agreement embodying such terms and such other provisions (not inconsistent with the Plan) as the Plan Administrator may deem advisable. Under no circumstances shall purchase rights be granted under the Plan to any Eligible Employee if such individual would, immediately after the grant, own (within the meaning of Code Section 424(d)) or hold outstanding options or other rights to purchase, stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate. B. Exercise of the Purchase Right. Each purchase right shall be ------------------------------ automatically exercised in installments on each successive Purchase Date within the offering period, and shares of Common Stock shall accordingly be purchased on behalf of each Participant on each such Purchase Date. The purchase shall be effected by applying the Participant's payroll deductions for the Purchase Interval ending on such Purchase Date to the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock at the purchase price in effect for the Participant for that Purchase Date. C. Purchase Price. The purchase price per share at which Common -------------- Stock will be purchased on the Participant's behalf on each Purchase Date within the offering period shall be equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the Participant's Entry Date into that offering period or (ii) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on that Purchase Date. D. Number of Purchasable Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock ---------------------------- purchasable by a Participant on each Purchase Date during the offering period shall be the number of whole shares obtained by dividing the amount collected from the Participant through payroll deductions during the Purchase Interval ending with that Purchase Date by the purchase price in effect for the Participant for that Purchase Date. However, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock purchasable per Participant on any one Purchase Date shall not exceed 750 shares, subject to periodic adjustments in the event of certain changes in the Corporation's capitalization. In addition, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock purchasable in total by all Participants on any one Purchase Date shall not exceed 125,000 shares, subject to periodic adjustments in the event of certain changes in the Corporation's capitalization. However, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority, exercisable prior to the start of any offering period under the Plan, to increase or decrease the limitations to be in effect for the number of shares purchasable per Participant and in total by all Participants on each Purchase Date during that offering period. 4. E. Excess Payroll Deductions. Any payroll deductions not applied ------------------------- to the purchase of shares of Common Stock on any Purchase Date because they are not sufficient to purchase a whole share of Common Stock shall be held for the purchase of Common Stock on the next Purchase Date. However, any payroll deductions not applied to the purchase of Common Stock by reason of the limitation on the maximum number of shares purchasable per Participant or in total by all Participants on the Purchase Date shall be promptly refunded. F. Termination of Purchase Right. The following provisions shall ----------------------------- govern the termination of outstanding purchase rights: (i) A Participant may, at any time prior to the next scheduled Purchase Date in the offering period, terminate his or her outstanding purchase right by filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator (or its designate), and no further payroll deductions shall be collected from the Participant with respect to the terminated purchase right. Any payroll deductions collected during the Purchase Interval in which such termination occurs shall, at the Participant's election, be immediately refunded or held for the purchase of shares on the next Purchase Date. If no such election is made at the time such purchase right is terminated, then the payroll deductions collected with respect to the terminated right shall be refunded as soon as possible. (ii) The termination of such purchase right shall be irrevocable, and the Participant may not subsequently rejoin the offering period for which the terminated purchase right was granted. In order to resume participation in any subsequent offering period, such individual must re- enroll in the Plan (by making a timely filing of the prescribed enrollment forms) on or before his or her scheduled Entry Date into that offering period. (iii) Should the Participant cease to remain an Eligible Employee for any reason (including death, disability or change in status) while his or her purchase right remains outstanding, then that purchase right shall immediately terminate, and all of the Participant's payroll deductions for the Purchase Interval in which the purchase right so terminates shall be immediately refunded. However, should the Participant cease to remain in active service by reason of an approved unpaid leave of absence, then the Participant shall have the right, exercisable up until the last business day of the Purchase Interval in which such leave commences, to (a) withdraw all the payroll deductions collected to date on his or her behalf for that Purchase Interval or (b) have such funds held for the purchase of shares on his or her behalf on the next scheduled Purchase Date. In no event, however, shall any further payroll deductions be collected on the Participant's behalf during such leave. Upon the Participant's return to active service (x) within ninety (90) days following the commencement of such leave or (y) prior to the expiration of any longer period for which such Participant's right to reemployment with the Corporation is guaranteed by statute or contract, his or her payroll deductions under the Plan shall automatically resume at the rate in 5. effect at the time the leave began, unless the Participant withdraws from the Plan prior to his or her return. An individual who returns to active employment following a leave of absence which exceeds in duration the applicable (x) or (y) time period will be treated as a new Employee for purposes of subsequent participation in the Plan and must accordingly re- enroll in the Plan (by making a timely filing of the prescribed enrollment forms) on or before his or her scheduled Entry Date into the offering period. G. Change in Control. Each outstanding purchase right shall ----------------- automatically be exercised, immediately prior to the effective date of any Change in Control, by applying the payroll deductions of each Participant for the Purchase Interval in which such Change in Control occurs to the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock at a purchase price per share equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the Participant's Entry Date into the offering period in which such Change in Control occurs or (ii) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date of such Change in Control. However, the applicable limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable per Participant shall continue to apply to any such purchase, but not the limitation applicable to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock purchasable in total by all Participants on any one Purchase Date. The Corporation shall use its best efforts to provide at least ten (10)-days prior written notice of the occurrence of any Change in Control, and Participants shall, following the receipt of such notice, have the right to terminate their outstanding purchase rights prior to the effective date of the Change in Control. H. Proration of Purchase Rights. Should the total number of shares ---------------------------- of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to outstanding purchase rights on any particular date exceed the number of shares then available for issuance under the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall make a pro-rata allocation of the available shares on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, and the payroll deductions of each Participant, to the extent in excess of the aggregate purchase price payable for the Common Stock pro-rated to such individual, shall be refunded. I. Assignability. The purchase right shall be exercisable only by ------------- the Participant and shall not be assignable or transferable by the Participant. J. Stockholder Rights. A Participant shall have no stockholder ------------------ rights with respect to the shares subject to his or her outstanding purchase right until the shares are purchased on the Participant's behalf in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Participant has become a holder of record of the purchased shares. VIII. ACCRUAL LIMITATIONS A. No Participant shall be entitled to accrue rights to acquire Common Stock pursuant to any purchase right outstanding under this Plan if and to the extent such accrual, when aggregated with (i) rights to purchase Common Stock accrued under any other purchase right granted under this Plan and (ii) similar rights accrued under other employee stock purchase plans 6. (within the meaning of Code Section 423)) of the Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate, would otherwise permit such Participant to purchase more than Twenty- Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) worth of stock of the Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate (determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share on the date or dates such rights are granted) for each calendar year such rights are at any time outstanding. B. For purposes of applying such accrual limitations to the purchase rights granted under the Plan, the following provisions shall be in effect: (i) The right to acquire Common Stock under each outstanding purchase right shall accrue in a series of installments on each successive Purchase Date during the offering period on which such right remains outstanding. (ii) No right to acquire Common Stock under any outstanding purchase right shall accrue to the extent the Participant has already accrued in the same calendar year the right to acquire Common Stock under one or more other purchase rights at a rate equal to Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) worth of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share on the date or dates of grant) for each calendar year such rights were at any time outstanding. C. If by reason of such accrual limitations, any purchase right of a Participant does not accrue for a particular Purchase Interval, then the payroll deductions which the Participant made during that Purchase Interval with respect to such purchase right shall be promptly refunded. D. In the event there is any conflict between the provisions of this Article and one or more provisions of the Plan or any instrument issued thereunder, the provisions of this Article shall be controlling. IX. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN A. The Plan was adopted by the Board on September __, 1999 and shall become effective at the Effective Time, provided no purchase rights granted under the Plan shall be exercised, and no shares of Common Stock shall be issued hereunder, until (i) the Plan shall have been approved by the stockholders of the Corporation and (ii) the Corporation shall have complied with all applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including the registration of the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan on a Form S-8 registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission), all applicable listing requirements of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if applicable) on which the Common Stock is listed for trading and all other applicable requirements established by law or regulation.

The Board may alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time to become effective immediately following the close of any Purchase Interval. However, the Plan may be amended or terminated immediately upon Board action, if and to the extent necessary to assure that the Corporation will not recognize, for financial reporting purposes, any compensation expense in connection with the shares of Common Stock offered for purchase under the Plan, should the financial accounting rules applicable to the Plan at the Effective Time be subsequently revised so as to require the Corporation to recognize compensation expense in the absence of such amendment or termination. B. In no event may the Board effect any of the following amendments or revisions to the Plan without the approval of the Corporation's stockholders: (i) increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan, except for permissible adjustments in the event of certain changes in the Corporation's capitalization, (ii) alter the purchase price formula so as to reduce the purchase price payable for the shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Plan or (iii) modify the eligibility requirements for participation in the Plan.

B. Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Corporate Affiliate employing such person) or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate such person's employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause.

(the "Company"), and Tim Harrington ("Executive"). In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows: 1. EMPLOYMENT. ----------- 1.1 Position. During the Employment Term (as hereinafter defined) and -------- subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company agrees to employ Executive as its Chief Executive Officer, reporting directly to its Board of Directors (the "Board"). During the Employment Term, and subject to the terms and conditions as set forth herein, Executive will also be a member of the Board. 1.2 Duties. Executive will be employed as Chief Executive Officer. ------ Executive shall diligently, and to the best of his ability, perform all such duties incident to his position and use his best efforts to promote the interests of the Company. 1.3 Time to be Devoted to Employment. During the Employment Term, -------------------------------- Executive shall devote his full time and energy to the business of the Company. Executive hereby represents that he is not a party to any agreement which would be an impediment to entering into this Employment Agreement and that he is permitted to enter into this Employment Agreement and perform the obligations hereunder. 2. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS. -------------------------- 2.1 Annual Salary. In consideration of and as compensation for the ------------- services agreed to be performed by Executive hereunder, the Company agrees to pay Executive a starting annual base salary of $170,000, payable in accordance with the Company's regular payroll schedule ("Base Salary"), less applicable withholdings and deductions. The Base Salary will be subject to change at the sole discretion of the Board. 2.2 Bonus Plan. Executive will be eligible to receive an annual bonus ---------- payment of up to 20% of his current base salary. Payment of the bonus will be at the sole discretion of the Board and will be based on achievement of mutually agreeable performance goals to be determined by Executive and the Board. 2.3 Stock Options. Executive has been granted an option under the ------------- Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") to purchase 1,200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Initial Option") at an exercise price of $0.055 per share. The option shares vest in 48 equal monthly installments over Executive's period of service with the Company measured from June 2, 1998. In addition, in March 1999, Executive was granted an option under the Plan to purchase 800,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.22 per share (the "1999 Option"). The option shares subject to the 1999 Option vest in vest in 48 equal monthly installments over Executive's period of service with the Company measured from the grant date of such option. The Initial Option and the 1999 Option are hereinafter referred to as the "Options". In the event of an acquisition of the Company, as more particularly described in Section 11.3.1 of the Plan, (a "Corporate Transaction"), each of the Initial Option and the 1999 Option, to the extent outstanding at that time but not otherwise fully exercisable and vested, shall automatically accelerate, and the Company's repurchase right with respect to any unvested option shares shall automatically lapse, so such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all of the option shares at the time subject to the option as fully-vested shares of the Company's Common Stock. No such acceleration of the Initial Option or the 1999 Option, however, shall occur if and to the extent: (i) such option is, in connection with the Corporate Transaction, to be assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or to be replaced with a comparable option to purchase shares of the capital stock of the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or (ii) such option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing on the unvested option shares at the time of the Corporate Transaction (the excess of the fair market value of such option shares over the aggregate exercise price payable) and provides for subsequent pay-out in accordance with the original vesting schedule established for that option. Immediately following the Corporate Transaction, the Initial Option and the 1999 Option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with the Corporate Transaction. Should there occur an Involuntary Termination of Executive's employment at the time of a Corporate Transaction or within 12 months following a Corporate Transaction in which the Initial Option or the 1999 Option is assumed or replaced and the Company's repurchase rights with respect to the unvested option shares are assigned, then all the option shares at the time subject to such option but not otherwise vested shall automatically vest, and the Company's repurchase rights with respect to those option shares shall lapse, so that the option shall become exercisable for all of the option shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock as of the effective date of such Involuntary Termination and may be exercised for such option shares in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the agreements evidencing the option. For purposes of the Options, an Involuntary Termination shall be deemed to occur in the event of (i) Executive's involuntary dismissal or discharge by the Company or the successor corporation in the Corporate Transaction for reasons other than cause, as defined in Section 4.1(ii) of this Employment Agreement, or (ii) Executive's voluntary resignation following (A) a change in Executive's position which materially reduces Executive's duties and responsibilities or the level of management to which Executive reports, (B) a reduction in Executive's then current level of compensation (including base salary, fringe benefits and target bonuses under any corporate-performance based incentive programs) by more than five percent (5%) or (C) a relocation of Executive's place of employment by more than twenty-five (25) miles, provided and only if such change, reduction or relocation is effected without Executive's consent. 2 2.4 Participation in Benefit Plans. During the Employment Term, ------------------------------ Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Company's health insurance, life insurance and disability insurance plans to the extent permitted by law, that may from time to time be adopted by the Board. The Company reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate any employee benefits at any time for any reason. 2.5 Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Executive ------------------------- for all reasonable business expenses incurred by Executive on behalf of the Company during the Employment Term, provided that: (i) such reasonable expenses are ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred on behalf of the Company, and (ii) Executive provides the Company with itemized accounts, receipts and other documentation for such reasonable expenses as are reasonably required by the Company. 2.6 Vacation. During the Employment Term, Executive will be entitled -------- to 18 days of paid vacation per annum. Executive will accrue vacation on a prorated basis of 1.5 days each month. 3. EMPLOYMENT TERM. ---------------- 3.1 Employment Term. The "Employment Term" means the period --------------- commencing on the Effective Date and terminating on the earlier of one (1) year from the Effective Date or as set forth in Section 4.1. 3.2 Notice of Renewal. At least sixty (60) days prior to the natural ----------------- expiration of the period ending one year from the Effective Date and sixty (60) days prior to each one year anniversary thereafter, if applicable, the Company shall give Executive written notice of whether the Company will be seeking a one-year extension of Executive's services under this Employment Agreement or subsequent one-year period, if applicable. Unless such notice indicates that there will be no extension, the terms of this Employment Agreement shall be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods. However, Executive's employment with the Company will continue unless terminated by Executive or the Company as set forth in Section 4.1. 4. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. -------------------------- 4.1 Method of Termination. Executive's employment pursuant to this --------------------- Employment Agreement and the Employment Term provided for herein shall terminate upon the first of the following to occur: (i) Executive's death; (ii) Date that written notice is deemed given or made by the Company to Executive that as a result of any physical or mental injury or disability, he is unable to perform the essential functions of his job, with or without reasonable accommodation. Such notice may be issued when the Board has reasonably determined that Executive has become unable to perform substantially his services and duties hereunder with or without reasonable accommodation because of any physical or mental injury or disability, and that it is reasonably 3 likely that he will not be able to resume substantially performing his services and duties on substantially the terms and conditions as set forth in this Employment Agreement; (iii) Date that written notice is deemed given or made by the Company to Executive of termination for "cause." For purposes of this Employment Agreement, "cause" shall mean any one of the following: (A) Gross negligence or the repeated failure of Executive to perform his duties and responsibilities to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board or any breach by Executive of his fiduciary duties to the Company or any material term of this Employment Agreement. For purposes of this Employment Agreement, any act or acts or omission or omissions by Executive that have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations, prospects, reputation or business shall be deemed to be a breach of his duties and responsibilities to the Company; or (B) The conviction of Executive for a felony. (iv) Executive's resignation or voluntary departure as an employee of the Company; or (v) Date that written notice is deemed given or made by the Company to Executive of Executive's termination without "cause." Nothing herein alters Executive and the Company's separate right to terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason, with or without cause. 4.2 Effect of Termination for Cause, Executive's Resignation or Other ----------------------------------------------------------------- Events. Upon (i) the termination of Executive for cause; (ii) Executive's - ------ resignation or voluntary departure; or (iii) Executive's departure pursuant to Section 4.1(i) (death) or 4.1(ii) (disability) of this Employment Agreement, Executive will not be entitled to any additional compensation or other rights or benefits from the Company; and, as a result, the Company shall be obligated to pay Executive only that portion of his Base Salary that Executive has earned prior to the effective date of the termination of Executive's employment with the Company. 4.3 Effect of Termination without Cause. In the event Executive's ----------------------------------- employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without cause, at any time other than at the time of, or within 12 months following, a Corporate Transaction, the following provisions shall apply: (a) For the period commencing on Executive's date of termination of employment and continuing for six (6) calendar months thereafter, Executive shall remain in the Company's service as an independent contractor unless such consulting relationship is sooner terminated in accordance with Sections 4.3(c)(i) or (ii) of this Employment Agreement. This period of continued service is hereby designated the Consultancy Period, and during such period, Executive shall make himself available for consultation with the new Chief Executive Officer, other officers of the Company and the individual members of the Board with respect to matters within his area of expertise, including matters which facilitate the transition period for the new Chief Executive 4 Officer. However, Executive shall not be required to render more than ten (10) hours of consulting services per month, and Executive shall have the right to render services as a consultant, advisor or employee to any other company or companies during the Consultancy Period, provided Executive will not accept employment or render services to any company that is in a business competitive with the Company. A "business competitive with the Company" would include any business engaged in internet sales or marketing. This would include, but is not limited to, Venator, REI, Copeland (Sports Superstore on-line), The Sports Authority, FootZone, CBS Sportsline, CNNSI and ESPN SportsZone. Executive agrees that each of the aforementioned companies, among others, are competitors of the Company and that it would breach Executive's fiduciary duties to the Company to be employed by or to provide services to any competitor of the Company during the Consultancy Period. (b) During the Consultancy Period, Executive shall be entitled to the following compensation for consulting services which may be requested of him: (i) Executive shall be paid in a lump-sum upon the commencement of the Consultancy Period the greater of: (1) $200,000, less applicable withholdings and deductions; or (2) his then current Base Salary, less applicable withholdings and deductions, and the Company will reimburse Executive for COBRA payments under COBRA for health insurance coverage. (ii) Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement of all travel and other out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred in connection with his consulting services under this Employment Agreement ("Travel and Miscellaneous Expenses"). In order to receive reimbursement for such Travel and Miscellaneous Expenses, Executive must submit documentation substantiating those expenses, and the Company shall reimburse all approved Travel and Miscellaneous Expenses within thirty (30) business days after Executive's submission of such documentation; and (iii) As of the date on which the Consultancy Period begins, the Options shall accelerate such that Executive shall immediately vest on an accelerated basis in the option shares subject to each of the Initial Option and the 1999 Option which are otherwise scheduled to vest, in accordance with the vesting schedule established for such option, over the twelve (12)-month period following such date, such number not to exceed 500,000 option shares in the aggregate. To the extent option shares subject to the Options remain unvested following such acceleration, such option shares shall continue to vest during the Consultancy Period in accordance with the original vesting schedule established for the Initial Option and the 1999 Option, provided, however, that the vest date for each installment of option shares shall be accelerated by twelve (12) months to reflect the acceleration effected pursuant to this provision. 5 To the extent Executive exercises the Option, or any other options held by Executive which are designated as incentive stock options under the federal tax laws, more than three (3) months after date on which Executive ceases to serve as an employee of the Company, such options shall be treated as non-qualified stock options upon exercise and Executive shall be required to satisfy the applicable tax withholding requirements in connection with such option exercises. Upon the termination of the Consultancy Period (including early termination in accordance with Section 4.3(c)), all outstanding options held by Executive will terminate, and any unvested shares held by Executive will be subject to repurchase by the Company, at the exercise price paid per share, in accordance with the agreements evidencing such options and unvested shares. In the event Executive's termination by the Company without cause occurs at the time of, or within 12 months following, a Corporate Transaction, then the provisions of Section 2.3 shall govern such termination and this Section 4.3 shall have no effect. (c) The Consultancy Period may not be terminated prior to six (6) calendar months after the date on which Executive's employment with the Company terminates, except in accordance with the following provisions: (i) The Company may immediately terminate the Consultancy Period in the event that Executive violates Section 5 of this Employment Agreement entitled "Confidential Information and Covenant Not to Compete"; or (ii) Executive may terminate the Consultancy Period at any time upon written notice to the Company, and the termination shall become effective immediately upon Executive's delivery of such notice. Upon the termination of the Consultancy Period, no further compensation shall become payable to Executive from and after that termination date, whether in the form of cash payments or the additional vesting of option shares. Should the termination of Executive's employment without cause occur at the time of, or at any time following, a Corporate Transaction, then the provisions of this Section 4.3 shall have no effect and Executive will not be entitled to any additional compensation or other rights or benefits from the Company; and, as a result, the Company shall be obligated to pay Executive only that portion of his Base Salary that Executive has earned prior to the effective date of the termination of Executive's employment with the Company as well as any benefits described in Section 2.3. 4.4 Resignation as an Officer and Director. In the event Executive's -------------------------------------- employment with the Company terminates for any reason, Executive agrees to immediately resign as an officer and/or director of the Company. 5. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE. ---------------------------------------------------- 6 5.1 Executive understands that the Company and its affiliates possess Proprietary Information (as defined below) which is important to its business and that this Employment Agreement creates a relationship of confidence and trust between Executive and the Company and its affiliates with regard to Proprietary Information.

Accordingly, Executive acknowledges and agrees that such a breach would inflict unique and irreparable harm upon the Company and that the Company shall be entitled, in addition to its other rights and available remedies, to enforce, by injunction or decree of specific performance, Executive's obligations set forth herein. 6.
