Parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I - PURCHASE AND SALE
1.1 Purchase of Company Shares. Subject to and upon the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by

the Company shares and NaviSite shall issue and deliver to Buyer that number of
shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, of NaviSite (the "NaviSite
Common Stock") determined by dividing (i) $5,000,000 by (ii) the average of the
last reported sale prices per share of the NaviSite Common Stock on the Nasdaq
National Market over the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on the trading
day that is three trading days prior to the Closing Date.

Agent a certificate (issued in the name of the Escrow Agent or its nominee)
representing the Escrow Shares, as described in Section 1.5(a), for the purpose
of securing the indemnification obligations of the Company Stockholders set
forth in this Agreement. The Escrow Shares shall be held by the Escrow Agent

corporation duly organized, validly existing and in corporate and tax good
standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation. The Company is duly
qualified to conduct business and is in corporate and tax good standing under
the laws of each jurisdiction in which the nature of its businesses or the

requisite corporate power and authority to carry on the businesses in which it
is engaged and to own and use the properties owned and used by it. The Company

Party's prior written consent, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or
consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any Third Party Claim which
would have an adverse effect on the Indemnified Party, except that the
Indemnifying Party may, without the Indemnified Party's prior written consent,
compromise or settle any such Third Party Claim or consent to entry of any
judgment with respect to any Third Party Claim which requires solely money
damages paid by the Indemnifying Party, and which includes as an unconditional
term thereof the release by the claimant or the plaintiff of the Indemnified
Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim. If the
Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim within
20 business days after notice thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the
right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party
Claim for the account of the Indemnifying Party, subject to the right of the
Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party at any time prior to the
compromise, settlement or final determination thereof. No Indemnified Party
shall, without the Indemnifying Party's prior written consent, settle or
compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with
respect to any Third Party Claim unless such Indemnified Party has undertaken
the defense, compromise or settlement in accordance with this Section 4.4(b) and
the consent compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim requires solely
money damages to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, and which includes as an
unconditional term thereof the release by the claimant or the plaintiff of the
Indemnifying Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim. The
Indemnifying Party shall pay any Loss suffered or incurred for or on account of
or arising from or in connection with any Third Party Claim with respect to
which an Indemnified Party has undertaken the defense, compromise or settlement
in accordance with this Section 4.4(b) within 20 business days of receipt of
notice from such Indemnified Party of such Loss.
(c) With respect to any Loss (other than any Loss suffered or incurred
for or on account of or arising from or in connection with any Third Party
Claim), the Stockholders Representatives shall have 30 business days from
receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of such Loss within which to
respond in writing whether the Indemnified Party accepts responsibility for the
Loss or contests the validity of such Loss. If neither of the Stockholders
Representatives respond within such 30 business day period, the Indemnifying
Party shall be deemed to have accepted responsibility to make payment and shall
have no further right to contest the validity of such Loss.
4.5 Stockholder Representative.
(a) In order to administer the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, including the indemnification obligations of
the Company Stockholders under this Article 4, the Company Stockholders hereby

(b) The Company Stockholders hereby authorize each of the Stockholder
Representatives, acting singly, to represent the Company Stockholders, and their
successors, with respect to all matters arising under this Agreement and the

as Stockholder Representative or resigns from such position, the Company
Stockholders having an aggregate of greater than 50% ownership interest in the
Company as set forth on Schedule 2.2 hereto shall select another representative
to fill such vacancy and such substituted Stockholder Representative shall be
deemed to be a Stockholder Representative for all purposes of this Agreement and
the Escrow Agreement.
(d) All decisions and actions by the Stockholder Representatives,
including without limitation any agreement between the Stockholder
Representatives and the Buyer or NaviSite or the Escrow Agent relating to
indemnification obligations of the Company Stockholders under this Article 4,
including the defense or settlement of any claims and the making of payments
with respect hereto, shall be binding upon all of the Company Stockholders, and
no Company Stockholders shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or
otherwise contest the same. The Stockholder Representatives shall incur no
liability to the Company Stockholders with respect to any action taken or
suffered by the Stockholder Representatives in reliance upon
any notice, direction, instruction, consent, statement or other documents
believed by them to be genuinely and duly authorized, nor for any other action
or inaction with respect to the indemnification obligations of the Company
Stockholders under this Article 4, including the defense or settlement of any
claims and the making of payments with respect thereto, except to the extent
resulting from a Stockholder Representative's own willful misconduct or gross
negligence. The Stockholder Representatives may, in all questions arising under
this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement rely on the advice of counsel, and for
anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Stockholder
Representatives shall not be liable to the Company Stockholders.
(e) The Buyer, NaviSite and the Escrow Agent shall be able to rely
conclusively on the written instructions and decisions of any one Stockholder
Representative with respect to the indemnification obligations of the Company
Stockholders under this Article 4, including the defense or settlement of any
claims or the making of payments with respect thereto, or as to any other
actions required or permitted to be taken by the Stockholder Representatives
hereunder, and no party hereunder shall have any cause of action against the
Buyer or the Escrow Agent to the extent the Buyer, NaviSite or the Escrow Agent
has relied upon the written instructions or decisions of any one Stockholder
Representative.
(f) The Company Stockholders acknowledge and agree that the Stockholder
Representatives may incur costs and expenses on behalf of the Stockholders in
their capacity as Stockholder Representatives ("Representative Expenses"). Each
of the Company Stockholders agrees to pay the Stockholder Representatives,
promptly upon demand by the Stockholder Representative therefor, a percentage of
