NAVISITE, INC.
7.5% Convertible, Subordinated Note
Due December 12, 2003
U.S. $30,000,000 January 24, 2001
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, NaviSite, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to CMGI, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Lender"), the principal sum of Thirty Million Dollars
($30,000,000) (the "Principal Sum"), or such lesser amount as may then be
outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, on December 12,
2003 (the "Maturity Date"). Interest on the outstanding Principal Sum shall be
at a rate of 7.5% per annum ("Interest"), calculated on the basis of a 360 day
year consisting of twelve 30 day months and payable quarterly in arrears on
January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year until this Note is
paid in full (each an "Interest Payment Date"). If all or a portion of the
Principal Sum or Interest shall not be paid when due (whether at its stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the Borrower hereby promises to pay, on
demand, interest on such overdue amount from and including the due date to, but
excluding, the date such amount is paid in full at 10.5% per annum (and until
the date such overdue amount is paid in full, "Interest" on such overdue amount
shall mean interest at such rate).
This Note is being delivered pursuant to that certain Note and Warrant
Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 12, 2000, between the Borrower and the
<PAGE>
Lender (the "Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement"). All capitalized terms used
but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms
in the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement.
1. Subordination.
The Lender's right to payment pursuant to the terms of this Note shall be
subordinated to the extent and on the terms and conditions set forth in the
Subordination Agreement, dated as of December 12, 2000, by and among the Lender
and the Borrower (the "Subordination Agreement"), and the terms and provisions
of the Subordination Agreement are incorporated herein by reference.
2. Payment.
Payment of the Principal Sum on the Maturity Date and Interest on each
Interest Payment Date shall be made by certified or bank cashier's check payable
to the Lender at the Lender's principal address set forth in Section 6 hereof
(or at such other place as the Lender hereof shall notify the Borrower in
writing) or, if the Lender so specifies, by written notice to the Borrower given
not less than two Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or the Interest
Payment Date, as the case may be, by bank wire transfer, in immediately
available funds, to the account so specified, in lawful money of the United
States of America, provided that, at the election of the Borrower, the amount of
-------- ----
Interest due on any Interest Payment Date may be paid in shares of common stock,
par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of the Borrower, with the number of
shares of Common Stock to be issued in payment of the Interest due on such
Interest Payment Date to equal the amount of such Interest divided by the
average of the closing prices per share of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq
National Market as reported in The Wall Street Journal on the five consecutive
-----------------------
trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding such Interest
Payment Date. The Borrower may prepay this Note at any time, without premium or
penalty, in whole or in part, with accrued interest to the date of such payment
on the amount prepaid. If the Maturity Date or any Interest Payment Date occurs
on a date that is not a Business Day then the Principal Sum or Interest then due
shall be paid on the next succeeding Business Day. "Business Day" shall mean
any day other than Saturday, Sunday or any day upon which banks in the city of
Boston, Massachusetts are authorized or required to be closed.
3. Conversion.
(a) Conversion Rights. Subject to and in accordance with the
-----------------
provisions of this Section 3, at any time on or prior to the Maturity Date, the
Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to effect the conversion (the
"Conversion") of all or any portion of the Principal Sum and Interest due on
this Note into Common Stock.
2
<PAGE>
The number of shares of Common Stock into which the Principal Sum and accrued
but unpaid Interest (or portion thereof) shall be converted pursuant to this
Section 3(a) shall be determined by dividing the amount of Principal Sum and
Interest the Lender has elected to convert by the Conversion Price. The
Conversion Price is subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4 hereof.
(b) Mandatory Conversion. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(c)
---------------------
hereof, if there is a Mandatory Conversion Event (as defined below) at any time
on or prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall have the right to require
the conversion of all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Principal Sum
and Interest into Common Stock at the Conversion Price (the "Mandatory
Conversion") in accordance with Sections 3(a) and 3(c) hereof.
(c) Manner of Effecting the Conversion. If the Lender elects to
----------------------------------
effect the Conversion pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof, the Lender shall deliver
a duly executed written notice to the Borrower of such election (the "Conversion
Notice"), and in such event the Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected
at the close of business on the date such Conversion Notice is given. If the
Borrower elects to effect the Mandatory Conversion pursuant to Section 3(b)
hereof, the Borrower shall deliver a duly executed written notice to the Lender
(the "Mandatory Conversion Notice") within ten Business Days of any period of 20
consecutive trading days during which the closing price per share of the Common
Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market exceeds 175% of the Conversion
Price on at least 15 trading days (a "Mandatory Conversion Event"), and in such
event the Mandatory Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected at the
close of business on the date such Mandatory Conversion Notice is given. Upon
any Conversion or Mandatory Conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms
hereof, the rights of the Lender with respect to the Principal Sum and all
Interest pursuant to this Note shall cease and the Lender shall be deemed to
have become the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock into which this
Note shall have been converted, provided that, if the Lender elects to convert
-------- ----
only a portion of the Principal Sum and Interest pursuant to Section 3(a)
hereof, then the Borrower will deliver a new note to the Lender, on the same
terms and conditions as this Note, with respect to the portion of the Principal
Sum and Interest that is not converted (the "New Note"). Concurrently with the
delivery of a Conversion Notice or receipt of a Mandatory Conversion Notice, as
the case may be, the Lender shall surrender this Note to the Borrower. Promptly
upon its receipt of a Conversion Notice or delivery of a Mandatory Conversion
Notice, as the case may be, the Borrower shall (i) deliver to or upon the
written order of the Lender, a certificate or certificates for the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion or Mandatory Conversion,
(ii) make a cash payment in respect of any fraction of a share as provided in
Section 3(d) hereof and (iii) if applicable, deliver a New Note as set forth in
this Section 3(c).
3
<PAGE>
(d) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon any
-----------------
Conversion or Mandatory Conversion. Instead of any fractional share which would
otherwise be issuable upon a Conversion or Mandatory Conversion, the Borrower
shall pay a cash amount in respect of such fractional share in an amount based
upon the Conversion Price.
4. Antidilution Provisions.
(a) Reorganization, Reclassification or Recapitalization of the
-----------------------------------------------------------
Borrower. In case of (i) a capital reorganization, reclassification or
--------
recapitalization of the Borrower's capital stock (other than in the cases
referred to in Section 4(c) hereof), (ii) the Borrower's consolidation or merger
with or into another corporation in which the Borrower is not the surviving
entity, or a merger in which the Borrower is the surviving entity but the shares
of the Borrower's capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger are
converted, by virtue of the merger, into other property, whether in the form of
securities, cash or otherwise, or (iii) the sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the Borrower's assets, then, as part of such
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, sale
or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that there shall thereafter be
deliverable upon the Conversion or Mandatory Conversion of the Principal Sum and
Interest or any portion thereof (in lieu of or in addition to the number of
shares of Common Stock theretofore deliverable, as appropriate) and without
payment of any additional consideration, the number of shares of stock or other
securities or property to which the holder of the number of shares of Common
Stock which would otherwise have been deliverable upon the Conversion or
Mandatory Conversion of the Principal Sum and Interest or any portion thereof at
the time of such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization,
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer would have been entitled to receive in
such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger,
sale or transfer. This Section 4(a) shall apply to successive reorganizations,
reclassifications, recapitalizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and
transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at
the time receivable upon the Conversion or Mandatory Conversion of the Principal
Sum and Interest or any portion thereof. If the per share consideration payable
to the Lender for shares of Common Stock in connection with any transaction
described in this Section 4(a) is in a form other than cash or marketable
securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good
faith by the Borrower's board of directors.
(b) Splits and Combinations. If the Borrower at any time or from time
-----------------------
to time after the date of this Note subdivides any of its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and,
conversely, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock are combined into a
smaller
4
<PAGE>
number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination shall be proportionately increased.
(c) Reclassifications. If the Borrower reclassifies or otherwise
-----------------
changes any of the securities into which this Note may be convertible into the
same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this
Note shall thereafter be convertible into such number and kind of securities as
would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the
securities that this Note was convertible into immediately prior to such
reclassification or other change and the Conversion Price therefor shall be
appropriately adjusted.
(d) Adjustment Certificates. Upon any adjustment of the Conversion
-----------------------
Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the Conversion or
Mandatory Conversion of this Note, a certificate, signed by (i) the Borrower's
President and Chief Financial Officer or (ii) any independent firm of certified
public accountants of recognized national standing the Borrower selects at its
own expense, setting forth in reasonable detail the events requiring the
adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated, shall be
mailed to the Lender at the address set forth in Section 6 hereof and shall
specify the adjusted Conversion Price and the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the Conversion or Mandatory Conversion of the Note after giving
effect to the adjustment.
(e) No Impairment. The Borrower shall not, by amendment of its
-------------
Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the
Borrower, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Lender against
impairment. The Borrower shall not be deemed to have avoided or to be seeking to
avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or
performed hereunder by issuing securities after the Closing Date for a
consideration per share less than the Conversion Price then in effect.
(f) Application. Except as otherwise provided herein, all sections of
-----------
this Section 4 are intended to operate independently of one another. If an event
occurs that requires the application of more than one section, all applicable
sections shall be given independent effect.
