Sincerely, SIGNATURE TITLE DATE Schedule of Permitted Indebtedness (none) Schedule of Permitted Liens (See Equipment Schedules No. 39 and No. 44 to the Lease Agreement dated September 15, 1999 between Somerset Capital Group, Ltd. and Greenfield Online, Inc.) On September 29, 2000, Greenfield Online entered into a license with Onyx Software (the "Onyx License") to license CRM software with license and maintenance fees of $394,836.75. The Company has determined that the Onyx Software does not contain the functionality represented and has requested via letter dated January 15, 2001, that Onyx agree to a rescission of the Onyx License. By letter dated January 9, 2001, (received by the Company on January 16, 2001) Onyx made demand for the payment of the Onyx License in full on or before February 9, 2001, or it will "pursue all remedies afforded to it under law". On June 8, 2001, Onyx served the Company with a complaint in the Superior Court of Washington for Kings County alleging breach of contract and unjust enrichment and demanded recovery of $439,206.41 for products and professional services rendered. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to this action and has filed an Answer with Special Defenses as well as a Counterclaim On August 28, 2000, NPD Group, Inc., notified Greenfield Online, Inc., that it believed that Greenfield Online had violated its patent number 6,070,145, issued to NPD on May 30, 2000. NPD claims that the patent covers the solicitation of persons over the Internet to take surveys via a pop-up window. Although a license agreement has been proposed by NPD, Greenfield Online maintains the position that the patent is unenforceable and continues to investigate prior art. By Complaint dated August 6, 1999 and Amended on September 23, 1999, and filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western district of New York, Harris Interactive, Inc., filed a 5 count complaint against Greenfiexx Xxxine, Inc. The Amended Complaint seeks to have Greenfield Online, Inc.'s Service Mark "Research Revolution" cancelled and seeks a declaratory judgmenx xxat Harris Interactive is not infringing the mark (Count One), seeks monxxxxx damages for alleged defamatory statxxxxts made by an officer of Greenfield Online concerning Harris Interactive's business practices (Count Two), seeks monetary xxxxxxs for allegedly disparaging remarks made by a Greenfield Online Officer concerning Harris Interactive's business practices (Count Three), seeks monetarx xxxxges for Greenfield Online's allegedly intentional interference with contractual relationships (Count Four) and seeks monetary damages for Greenfield Online's allegedly unfair competition. The parties are in the process of substantive settlement negotiations, and have exchanged draft settlement agreements. No anticipated settlement will result in any monetary payment from Borrower. On December 7, 2000, the District Court, acting on its own motion, dismissed the case without prejudice. On June 19, 2001 the Company was notified by counsel for a former employee, Eric Stabell, that Mr. Stabell intended to assert claims against the Xxxxxxx xxx his alxxxxx "xxxxtructive discharge" due to the Company's failure to make reasonable accommodations for disabilities suffered by Mr. Stabell. The Company is alleged to have violated Connecticut Genxxxx Xxxxxxe 46a-60 and the American's With Disabilities Act. The Company believes that these claims are without merit and has replied to Mr. Stabell's attorney denying each and every claim. On June 00, 0000 xxx Company was notified by counsel for a former employee, Mark Hardy, that Mr. Hardy intends to pursue claims in the Californix xxxxxx xor damaxxx xxxxxedly suffered by Mr. Hardy in connection with his termination from employment. Mr. Haxxx xxxxxes that (i) he was induced to incur relocation expensxx xx xxxtiate a move of his personal residence from California to Connecticut, and that the Company promised to compensate Mr. Hardy for these expenses, (ii) that he was not paid accrued vacaxxxx xxx in violation of California law, (iii) that his wife, relying on his continued employment with the Company reduced her work hours to prepare for the move and start a family resulting in lost family income. Mr. Hardy claims a cash payment of $32,000 plus 6 months salary and xx xxxxxxion of the time in which he may exercise his vested Company stock options. The Company has yet to form an opinion regarding the validity of such claims. On July 17, 2001 the Company was contacted by the law firm of Bressler, Amery & Ross on behalf of Ruder Fin, Inc., a public relatixxx xxxx xxxxx the Xxxpany had engagxx xx render public relations services in 2000. Ruder Fin claims an outstanding balance due of $25,000 as a monthly xxxxxner due under a written contract for the month of January, 2001, as well as $6,024 in expenses. The Company disputes the claim on the basis that Ruder Fin and the Company agreed that when the Company terminated Ruxxx Xin's engagement, Ruder Fin agreed that the Company would be rxxxxxed from its obligatxxxx under the contract if it paid its $25,000 retainer fee for the months of November and December of 2000. The Company paid these amounts. The Company disputes the expenses claimed on the basis that some were not pre-approved and that others were for ineffective services. The Company has paid $2,855.65 of expenses it deems to be valid. On July 13, 2001, the Company received a claim from Neopets.com, Inc., ("Neopets"), that it was owed $25,000 as a fee fox xxxxxxxxxg individuals to become panelists in the Greenfield Online panel. It is the Company's position that it does not owe Neopets any fees for the recruiting it did between 1/1/01 and 3/21/01, due to the fact that the vast majority of the recruits it received from Neopets were received on March 17, 2001 and were the creation of a hacker. The remaining recruits are also invalid as they have not activated their accounts. In May, 1998, Cybergold notified Greenfield Online that it believed that Greenfield Online had violated its patent number 5,749,210, issued to Cybergold for negatively induced solicitations, claiming that this patent covered paying people to participate in surveys online. Although Cybergold proposed a license agreement, Greenfield Online took the position that it did not infringe this patent, and took no further action with respect to Cybergold. Since March of 1999 there has been no contact between Cybergold and Greenfield Online.

Adjusted for xxxxx xxxxxx xxd reflecting the conversion to common, the purchase gave them 1,048,050 and 184,950 shares, respectively, of our common stock as of March 3, 2000. We have the right to repurchase this stock for its original purchase price from either one of Mr. Nadilo or Mr. Davis if his employment terminates for any rexxxx. Xxx restxxxxxxxx xx xxe stock lapse and the stock becomes vested 25% one year after the management buyout and 12.5% each six-month period thereafter until four years have expired. For Mr. Davis, the expiration of these restrictions will accelerate xx 00% xf his stock if we sell the stock or all or substantially all of the assets of our company. The stock purchased by Messrs.

Nadilo and Davis agreed to convert the promissory notes described above frxx xxn-recourse notes to recourse notes.
