COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Xxxxx.xxx, Inc. Common Stock Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement") is
made as of the 4th day of February, 2000, by and between Xxxxx.xxx, Inc., a
Washington corporation (the "Company") and Internet Capital Group, Inc. (the
"Purchaser").
The Purchaser wishes to purchase from the Company, and the Company wishes
to issue and sell to the Purchaser, following the Company's reincorporation into
Delaware, certain shares of its Common Stock.
Such sale and purchase of Common Stock shall occur immediately following
the closing of the Company's initial public offering (the "IPO"), unless a
request for termination of the waiting period under the Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 ("HSR") has not been granted by the Federal
Trade Commission ("FTC"), in which case closing shall occur as soon as
reasonably practicable following the granting of termination of the waiting
period by the FTC ("HSR Clearance"), or another date mutually agreed upon by the
parties.
For the mutual covenants set forth below and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of Common Stock.
1.1 Sale and Issuance of Common Stock. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to purchase at the Closing,
and the Company agrees to sell and issue to the Purchaser at the Closing, shares
of Common Stock equal in number to the greater of (a) $40,000,000 divided by the
Per Share Price (rounded to the nearest whole share) and (b) one-third (1/3) of
the number of shares offered and sold to the public in the IPO, prior to
exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option (rounded to the nearest
whole share). The "Per Share Price" shall be equal to the Price to the Public
set forth on the cover page of the final prospectus relating to the IPO. The
shares of Common Stock issued to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall
be hereinafter referred to as the "Stock."
1.2 Closing; Delivery
(a) The purchase and sale of the Stock shall take place at the
offices of Venture Law Group, 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, xx the
date of and immediately following the closing of the IPO, or on such other date
or at such other time as the Company and the Purchase may mutually agree upon,
orally or in writing (which time and place are designated as the "Closing");
provided, however, that in the event that HSR Clearance shall not have been
obtained prior to such date, at the Closing the Purchaser shall purchase the
maximum number of shares of Stock as HSR counsel to the Company and the
Purchaser reasonably deem may be
purchased prior to HSR Clearance, and a second closing for the purchase and sale
of the remainder of the Stock shall be held as soon as practicable following HSR
Clearance.
(b) At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a
certificate representing the Stock being purchased thereby against payment of
the Per Share Price for all shares purchased by check payable to the Company or
wire transfer to the Company's bank account.
2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby
represents and warrants to the Purchaser that:
2.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is
a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation and has all requisite corporate power and
authority to carry on its business. The Company is duly qualified to transact
business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure so to
qualify would have a material adverse effect on its business or properties.
2.2 Authorization. The Company has full legal and corporate power
and authority to enter into this Agreement, issue the Stock and perform its
obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
the Company and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the
Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent
conveyance and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of
creditors' rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability
of a specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
2.3 Valid Issuance of Securities. The Stock that is being issued
to the Purchaser hereunder, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with
the terms hereof for the consideration expressed herein, will be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, issued in compliance with
applicable state and federal securities laws and free of restrictions on
transfer other than restrictions on transfer under this Agreement and applicable
state and federal securities laws.
2.4 Documents Delivered in Connection with Purchase and Sale of
Stock. No document delivered by the Company to Purchaser or its agents in
connection with the purchase and sale of the Stock contains any untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances
under which they were made.
2.5 Registration Statement. The Company's Registration Statement
on Form S-1 (File no. 333-93273) (the "Registration Statement"), when and if it
is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, (a) will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances under which they will be made and (b) will comply in all material
respects with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby
represents and warrants to the Company that:
3.1 Authorization. The Purchaser has full legal and corporate power
and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations
hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser
and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser,

any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights
generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of a specific
performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with
the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser's representation to the Company,
which by the Purchaser's execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby
confirms, that the Stock to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for
investment for the Purchaser's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not
with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the
Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or
otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser
further represents that the Purchaser does not presently have any contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the
Stock. The Purchaser has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring
the Stock.
3.3 Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Stock
has not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of
a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act
which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment
intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser's representations as expressed herein.
The Purchaser understands that the shares of Stock are "restricted securities"
under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to
these laws, the Purchaser must hold the shares of Stock indefinitely unless they
are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by
state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification
requirements is available. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an
exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned
on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of
sale, the holding period for the Stock, and on requirements relating to the
Company which are outside of the Purchaser's control, and which the Company is
under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.
-3-
3.4 Qualified Institutional Buyer. The Purchaser is a "qualified
institutional buyer" within the meaning of such term under Rule 144A under the
Securities Act.

securities issued in respect of or exchange for the Stock, may bear one or all
of the following legends:
(a) "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED
FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR
DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A
FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER
