Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and
warrants to the Company as of the date hereof as follows:
-14-
6.1. LOCATION OF PRINCIPAL OFFICE, QUALIFICATION AS AN ACCREDITED
INVESTOR.
The state in which Purchaser's principal domicile is located is the
state set forth in such Purchaser's address on SCHEDULE 2. Each Purchaser by
execution of this Agreement hereby represents that it qualifies as an
"accredited investor" for purposes of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act. Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has made
available to such Purchaser at a reasonable time prior to the execution of
this Agreement the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers
concerning the terms and conditions of the sale of securities contemplated by
this Agreement and to obtain any additional information (which the Company
possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense) as may
be necessary to verify the accuracy of information furnished to such Purchaser.
6.2. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY SECURITIES LAW.
Such Purchaser understand that the Preferred Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws,
and, therefore, cannot be resold unless they are subsequently registered
under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an
exemption from such registration is available.
6.3. BINDING EFFECT.
This Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the
part of such Purchaser, has been duly executed and delivered by such
Purchaser, and this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors' rights generally or by equitable principles relating to
enforceability.
6.4. PURCHASE FOR OWN ACCOUNT.
The Preferred Shares, and the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares, are being or will be acquired by such
Purchaser for such Purchaser's own account and with no intention of
distributing or reselling such securities or any part thereof in any
transaction that would be in violation of the securities laws of the United
States of America, or any state, without prejudice, however, to the rights of
such Purchaser at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part
of the Preferred Shares or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares under an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act, or under an exemption from such registration
available under the Securities Act, and subject, nevertheless, to the
disposition of such Purchaser's property being at all times within such
Purchaser's control. If such Purchaser should in the future decide to
dispose of any of the Preferred Shares or the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, such Purchaser understands and
agrees that such Purchaser may do so only in compliance with the Securities
Act and applicable state securities laws, as then in effect. Such Purchaser
agrees to the imprinting, so long as required by law, of a legend on
certificates representing all of the Preferred Shares or the shares of Common
Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares to the following
effect:
-15-
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY
STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE

Such Purchaser's financial condition is such that such Purchaser is able
to bear the risk of holding the Preferred Shares for an indefinite period of
time and can bear the loss of such Purchaser's entire investment in the
Preferred Shares. Such Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters and in making high risk investments of this
type that such Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
purchase of the Preferred Shares and understands that there may be no
established market for the Company's capital stock.
6.6 PURCHASER REPRESENTATIVE; POWER OF ATTORNEY; RECEIPT OF INFORMATION.
Such Purchaser has appointed Account Management Corporation (the
"Purchaser Representative") as its representative for all purposes in
connection with its investment in the Company. The Purchaser Representative
is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940,
the services of which such Purchaser has retained in connection with
investments in addition to Purchaser's investment in the Company. Xx.
Xxxxxxxx and Mr. Xxxxx de Roetth are the directors, officers and, with their
families, the beneficial owners of Purchaser Representative and are also
registered investment advisers under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
Except for Xx. Xxxxxxxx and Mr. Xxxxx de Roetth, such Purchaser has duly and
validly granted to the Purchaser Representative a power of attorney
authorizing the Purchaser Representative to execute and deliver, on behalf of
such Purchaser, this Agreement and all other agreements, instruments, and
documents that the Purchaser Representative may deem necessary, appropriate,
or desirable in connection with Purchaser's investment in the Company.
Through the Purchaser Representative, such Purchaser has been furnished
access to the business records of the Company and such additional information
and documents as such Purchaser has requested and has been afforded an
opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of
the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
purchase of the Preferred Shares, the prospective operations, market
potential, capitalization, financial conditions, and prospects of the
business to be conducted by the Company, and all other matters deemed
relevant by such Purchaser.

6.7. BROKER'S, FINDER'S OR SIMILAR FEES.
There are no brokerage commissions, finder's fees or similar fees or
commissions payable in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby
based on any agreement, arrangement or understanding with such Purchaser or
any action taken by such Purchaser.
6.8. GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORIZATION; THIRD PARTY CONSENT.
No approval, consent, compliance, exemption, authorization, or other
action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any
other Person in respect of any Requirements of Law, and no lapse of a waiting
period under any Requirements of Law, is necessary or required in connection
with the execution, delivery or performance by such Purchaser (including,
without limitation, the aquisition of the Preferred Shares) or enforcement
against such Purchaser of the Transaction Agreements to which such Purchaser
is or will be a party or the transactions contemplated thereby.
6.9. LITIGATION.
No Actions are pending, or to the best knowledge of such Purchaser,
threatened relating to or affecting the transactions required to be performed

Certificate and shall otherwise comply with the terms thereof.

or the shares of Common Stock into which such Preferred Shares may be
converted, may be lawfully entitled to vote.
ARTICLE 8
INDEMNIFICATION
8.1 INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) In addition to all other sums due hereunder or provided for in
this Agreement, the Company (the "Selling Indemnifying Party") shall defend,
indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers and their agents, employees, and
assigns (each a "Purchasing Indemnified Party") to the fullest extent
permitted by law from and against any and all losses, costs, claims, damages,
expenses (including reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of
counsel, as limited by Section 8.2 below) and other liabilities
(collectively, "Liabilities") incurred or suffered by any Purchasing
Indemnified Party resulting from or arising out of (i) any breach by any
Selling Indemnifying Party of any representation or warranty, covenant or
agreement of the Selling Indemnifying Party in this Agreement; provided,
however, that no Selling Indemnifying Party shall be liable under this
Section 8.1 to any Purchasing Indemnified Party to the extent that it is
finally judicially determined that such Liabilities resulted primarily from
the material breach by such Purchasing Indemnified Party of any
representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement of such Purchasing
Indemnified Party contained in this Agreement or (ii)any material liability
of the Company on the Closing Date not disclosed in this Agreement.
In addition to all other sums due hereunder or provided for in this
Agreement, each Purchaser (the "Purchasing Indemnifying Party"), severally
and not jointly, shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and
its Affiliates and its officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries,
partners and assigns (each a "Selling Indemnified Party") to the fullest
extent permitted by law from and against any and all Liabilities incurred or
suffered by such Selling Indemnified Parties resulting from or arising out of
any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of such
Purchasing Indemnifying Party in this Agreement; provided, however, that no
Purchasing Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under this Section 8.1 to a
Selling Indemnified Party to the extent that it is finally judicially
determined that such Liabilities resulted primarily from the material breach
by such Selling Indemnified Party of any representation, warranty, covenant
or other agreement of such Selling Indemnified Party contained in this
Agreement.
(c) if and to the extent that any indemnification provided for in
this Agreement is unenforceable for any reason, the Indemnifying Parties (as
defined below) obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party (as defined
below) shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of
such indemnified liability which shall be permissible under applicable laws.
In connection with the obligation of the Indemnifying Parties to indemnify
for expenses as set forth herein, the Indemnifying Parties further agree,
upon presentation of appropriate invoices containing reasonable detail, to
reimburse each Indemnified
-18-
Party for all such expenses (including reasonable fees, disbursements and
other charges of counsel, as limited by Section 8.2 below) as they are
incurred by such Indemnified Party.
8.2. NOTIFICATION.
If any action or proceeding (including any governmental investigation or
inquiry) shall be brought or asserted against any party entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this Section 8 (an "Indemnified Party") in
respect of which indemnity may be sought from any party required to indemnify
such Indemnified Party (an "Indemnifying Party"), such Indemnified Party
shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing, and such
Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment
of counsel selected by such Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to
such Indemnified Party and the payment of all expenses; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that any failure to so notify such Indemnifying Party shall not impair
obligations hereunder except and only to the extent that such failure results
in actual prejudice to such Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnified Party shall
have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to
participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (a) such Indemnifying
Party agreed to pay such fees and expenses or (b) such Indemnifying Party
shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or proceeding or has
failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party
in any such action or proceeding or (c) the named parties to any such action
or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified
Party and such Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have
been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to such Indemnified Party which are different from or additional
to those available to such Indemnifying Party (in which case, such
Indemnifying Party shall employ separate counsel at the expense of such
Indemnifying Party, it being understood, however, that such Indemnifying
Party shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or
separate but substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the
same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than
one separate firm of attorneys at any time for such Indemnified Party and
any other Indemnified Parties). No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any
settlement of any such action or proceeding effected without its written
consent (which shall not be withheld unreasonably), but if settled with its
written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any
such action or proceeding, such Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless such Indemnified Party from and against any Liabilities by
reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party shall agree to
any settlement of any third party claim without the consent of the
Indemnified Party, which shall not be withheld if such settlement provides
only for the payment of money to be paid by the Indemnifying Party.

[LETTERHEAD OF XXXXXX & XXXXXXX]
_____, 1998
To the Purchasers Listed on Schedule A Hereto:
Re: Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of June 19, 1998 (the
"Agreement") by and among USinternetworking, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, and the Purchasers, as listed on Schedule A attached
hereto.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to USinternetworking, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the purchase by Purchasers of
2,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share,
of the Company (the "Series A Preferred Stock") pursuant to the Agreement. This
opinion is rendered to you pursuant to Section 3.12 of the Agreement.
Capitalized terms defined in the Agreement, used herein, and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Agreement.
As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of
law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of rendering the opinions
expressed below, except where a statement is qualified as to knowledge or
awareness, in which case we have made no or limited inquiry as specified below.
We have examined, among other things, the following:
[LETTERHEAD OF XXXXXX & XXXXXXX]
To the Purchasers
_________, 1998
Page 2
(a) The Agreement; and
(b) The certificate of incorporation of the Company, as amended,
and the Bylaws of the Company (the "Governing Documents").
The documents described in subsections (a) and (b) above are referred
to herein collectively as the "Documents."
In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures
(other than those of officers of the Company on the Documents), the authenticity
of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to authentic
original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies.
We have been furnished with, and with your consent have relied upon,
certificates of officer(s) of the Company with respect to certain factual
matters. In addition, we have obtained and relied upon such certificates and
assurances from public officials as we have deemed necessary.
We are opining herein as to the effect on the subject transaction only
of the federal laws of the United States, the internal laws of the State of
Maryland, and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and we
express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect
thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or, in the case of Delaware, any
other laws, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any other local
agencies within any state.
Our opinions set forth in clauses (i) and (iii) of paragraph 4 below
are based upon our consideration of only those statutes, rules and regulations
which, in our experience, are normally applicable to stock purchase
transactions. Whenever a statement herein is qualified by "to the best of our
knowledge" or a similar phrase, it is intended to indicate that those attorneys
in this firm who have rendered legal services in connection with the this stock
purchase transaction do not have current actual knowledge of the inaccuracy of
such statement. However, except as otherwise expressly indicated, we have not
undertaken any independent investigation to determine the accuracy of any such
statement, and no inference that we have any knowledge of any matters pertaining
to such statement should be drawn from our representation of the Company.
Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is
our opinion that, as of the date hereof:
[LETTERHEAD OF XXXXXX & XXXXXXX]
To the Purchasers
_________, 1998
Page 3
1. The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with corporate power
and authority to own and lease its properties and to conduct its business and to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Agreement. Based solely
on certificates from public officials, we confirm that the Company is qualified
to do business in the State of Maryland.
2. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement by the
Company has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the
Company, and the Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.
3. The Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation
of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
4. The execution and delivery of the Agreement by the Company and the
performance of the obligations of the Company under the Agreement do not: (i)
violate any federal or Maryland statute, rule or regulation applicable to the
Company or the Delaware General Corporation Law; (ii) violate the provisions of
the Governing Documents or of any agreement to which the Company is a party
identified to us by an officer of the Company as material to the Company's
business; or (iii) to the best our knowledge, require any consents, approvals,
authorizations, registrations, declarations or filings by the Company under any
federal statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company. No opinion is
expressed in clauses (i) and (iii) of this paragraph 4 as to the application of
Section 548 of the federal Bankruptcy Code and comparable provisions of state
law or of any antifraud laws, antitrust or trade regulation laws.
5. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to
the Agreement have been duly authorized and, when issued to and paid for by the
Purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, will be validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The issuance of shares of Common Stock
upon conversion of the Preferred Shares has been duly authorized by the Company,
and, as of the date hereof, a sufficient number of shares of the authorized but
unissued Common Stock is available for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred
Shares. The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Preferred
Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Stock, will be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
6. As of June 19, 1998, the date of the Agreement, the authorized
capital stock of the Company consisted of One Hundred Fifty Million
(150,000,000) shares of Common
[LETTERHEAD OF XXXXXX & XXXXXXX]
To the Purchasers
_________, 1998
Page 4
Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of
preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
The opinions expressed in paragraph 3 above are subject to the
following limitations, qualifications and exceptions:
(a) such opinions are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, and other laws relating to or affecting the rights
of creditors; and
(b) such opinions are subject to the exercise of judicial
discretion in accordance with general principles of equity.
To the extent that the obligations of the Company may be dependent upon
such matters, we assume for purposes of this opinion that: all parties to the
Agreement other than the Company are duly formed, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of formation; all
parties to the Agreement other than the Company have the requisite partnership
power and authority to execute and deliver the Agreement and to perform their
respective obligations under the Agreement; and the Agreement to which such
parties other than the Company are a party have been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by such parties and constitute their legally valid and binding
obligations, enforceable against them in accordance with their terms. We express
no opinion as to compliance by any parties to the Agreement with any state or
federal laws or regulations applicable to the subject transactions because of
the nature of their business.
This opinion is rendered only to you and is solely for your benefit in
connection with the transactions covered hereby. This opinion may not be relied
upon by you for any other purpose, or furnished to, quoted to or relied upon by
any other person, firm or corporation for any purpose, without our prior written
consent.
Very truly yours,

Gentlemen:
This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 4.9 of that certain
Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated as of June 19, 1998
between you and the purchasers named therein (the "Purchasers"). The Purchasers
consist of two individuals acting in their own behalf (the "Signing Purchasers")
and fourteen individuals and one trust (the "Agency Purchasers") represented in
the transaction by Account Management Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation
("AMC") as Agent. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers have
executed and delivered a certain "Joinder Agreement" pursuant to which they have
become parties to a certain Shareholders' Agreement dated as of May 28, 1998.
The Purchase Agreement, the Joinder Agreement and the Shareholders' Agreement
are herein together referred to as the "Transaction Agreements".
We have acted as counsel for AMC and the Purchasers in connection with the
Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby. We have acted
as counsel to AMC for a number of years, and are generally familiar with its
legal standing and legal affairs; our relationship to the Purchasers is as
special counsel for the particular transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Agreements.
We have examined a power of attorney executed by Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx appointing
AMC as attorney in fact for purposes of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Agreements, and we have been informed that like powers of attorney
have been executed and delivered to AMC by each of the other Agency Purchasers.
We have examined a document furnished to us as a copy of the Xxxxxxx X. and
Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx Grandchildren's Trust. We have also made inquiries as to the
age, financial standing and investing experience of all Purchasers who are
individuals. We are relying on the foregoing in connection with this opinion. We
point out the fact that the Transaction Agreements provide that the governing
law of such agreements is the law of Maryland. We are not members of the bar of
the state of Maryland, but have assumed for the
-2- July 20, 1998
purposes of this opinion that the law of Maryland does not differ from the law
of Massachusetts insofar as relevant to the conclusions expressed herein.
Based upon the foregoing, we are the opinion that:
1. AMC is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
2. AMC holds a valid, binding and enforceable power of attorney from each of
the Agency Purchasers.
3. The Purchase Agreement, and the Joinder Agreement have been duly executed
and delivered by or on behalf of the Purchasers, such execution and
delivery being by AMC, as agent, in the case of the Agency Purchasers.
Except as qualified by the following sentence and by the last paragraph of
this opinion, the Transaction Agreements constitute the legal valid and
binding obligations of the Purchasers, enforceable against each of them in
accordance with their terms. We express no opinion, however, on Section 4
of the Shareholders' Agreement (dealing with registration of securities
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and state securities laws),
nor as to the effect of any limitations on the validity or enforceability
of that Section on other provisions of the Shareholders' Agreement.
(4) None of (i) the execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements by
each of the Purchasers, (ii) the purchase of the Series A Preferred Stock by
each of the Purchasers, (iii) compliance with the terms and conditions of the
Transaction Agreements on the Closing Date will conflict with, breach the terms
and conditions of, constitute a default under, any judgment, decree, order,
agreement, lease or other instrument known to us to which any of the Purchasers
is a party or by which any of the Purchasers is legally bound.
(5) To our knowledge, there is no order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree,
stipulation, determination or award entered by or with any United States
federal, state or local or any foreign government, governmental, regulatory or
administrative authority, agency or commission or any court, tribunal, or
judicial or arbitral body in existence which restrains or which materially and
adversely affects the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, or
is likely to render it impossible or unlawful to consummate such transactions.
Our opinion as to the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability
of the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements is subject to (a)
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general
application affecting the rights and remedies of contracting parties and (b)
general principles of equity, regardless whether enforcement is sought in
proceedings in equity or at law. We also express no opinion as to the
enforceability of
-3- July 20, 1998
provisions relating to submission to jurisdiction, waiver of service of process,
venue or waiver of the right to trial by jury.
Very truly yours,
Ropes & Xxxx
