WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK

Corporation:		MyComputer.com, Inc., a Delaware Corporation
Number of Shares:		490,990
Class of Stock:		Common Stock
Initial Exercise Price:		$0.20 per share
Issue Date:		March 26, 2002
Expiration Date:		March 26, 2012

     This Warrant certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, NetObjects, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Holder"), is entitled to purchase from the corporation named above (the "Company"), on or after March 31, 2004, but only if the Company has paid all three Scheduled Payments pursuant to that certain Settlement and Payoff Agreement, dated the date hereof, by and between the Holder and the Company, until 5:00 p.m. Pacific time, on the Expiration Date set forth above, the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the class of stock (the "Shares") of the Company at the initial exercise price per Share (the "Warrant Price"), all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.

     1. EXERCISE.

          1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 1.2, this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part and Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check or wire transfer for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Holder may, and the Company shall permit Holder to, apply any indebtedness owed by the Company to Holder (including any amounts owed under the above-referenced Settlement and Payoff Agreement) towards payment of the aggregate Warrant Price.

          1.2 Net Exercise Election. The Holder may elect to convert all or a portion of this Warrant, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion of this Warrant to the Company, with the net exercise election selected in the Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by the Holder, into up to the number of Shares that is obtained under the following formula:

X = Y (A-B)
A

Where:		X =		the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 1.2.
		Y =		the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is then being net exercised.
		A =		the fair market value of one Share, as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors, as at the time the net exercise election is made pursuant to this Section 1.2.
		B =		the Warrant Price.

For purposes of the above calculation, fair market value of one Share shall be determined by the Company's Board of Directors in good faith; provided, however, that where there exists a public market for the Company's Common Stock at the time of such exercise, the fair market value per share shall be the product of (i) the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary or the last reported sale price of the Common Stock or the closing price quoted on the Nasdaq National Market or on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, as published in the Western Edition of The Wall Street Journal for the five (5) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each Share is convertible, if applicable, at the time of such exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Warrant is exercised in connection with the Company's initial public offering of Common Stock, the fair market value per share shall be the per share offering price to the public of the Company's initial public offering. The Company will promptly respond in writing to an inquiry by the Holder as to the then current fair market value of one Share.

          1.3 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, this Warrant shall automatically be reduced by the number of Shares issued and remain exercisable for such remaining Shares not so acquired, and all other terms of the Warrant shall otherwise remain in full force and effect as so adjusted. Upon final exercise of this Warrant for any such remaining number of Shares, this Warrant shall be surrendered by the Holder to the Company for cancellation.

          1.4 Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, or surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

          1.5 Sale, Merger, Consolidation or Liquidation of the Company.

                1.5.1 Acquisition. For the purpose of this Warrant, "Acquisition" means (a) any sale or exchange of the capital stock by the stockholders of the Company in one transaction or series of related transactions where more than 50% of the outstanding voting power of the Company is acquired by a person or entity or group of related persons or entities; or (b) any reorganization, consolidation or merger of the Company where the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately before the transaction represent or are converted into less than fifty percent 50% of the outstanding voting power of the surviving entity (or its parent corporation) immediately after the transaction; or (c) the consummation of any transaction or series of related transactions that results in the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, followed by the distribution of the proceeds to the Company's stockholders.

                1.5.2 Survival of Warrant. If the price or exchange value offered per share of Common Stock in an Acquisition (the "Acquisition Value") is less than the Warrant Price then in effect, as a part of such Acquisition, lawful provision shall be made so that Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified in this Warrant and upon payment of the Warrant Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such Acquisition, to which a holder of the Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled in such Acquisition if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before that Acquisition. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of Holder after the Acquisition to the end that the provisions of this Warrant (including adjustment of the Warrant Price then in effect and number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be applicable after that Acquisition, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that Acquisition upon exercise of this Warrant.

                1.5.3 Termination of Warrant. Prior to the closing of any Acquisition, the Company shall give Holder at least thirty (30) days advance written notice of such event (the "Company Notice"), which notice shall include the Company's best estimate of the value of the Shares receivable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant and the proposed date upon which such event is expected to occur. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during such notice period, Holder may exercise or convert this Warrant in accordance with its terms, whether or not exercise or conversion is contingent upon the happening of such event and/or existence of a minimum value of the Shares receivable upon exercise or conversion as provided on Holder's exercise notice; provided that such minimum value shall be no greater than the per share price set forth in the Company Notice. Subject to any prior exercise or conversion as provided in the preceding sentence, this Warrant will terminate with respect to the Shares so exercised or converted and in any event if the Acquisition Value is more than the Warrant Price in effect, at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the day prior to the date such event is expected to occur as set forth in the Company Notice; provided that (a) the Company Notice of the proposed event is actually received by Holder, as evidenced by a return receipt of certified mail delivery, a certificate of delivery by hand delivery or written verification of delivery from the overnight courier, and (b) the event actually occurs

          within thirty (30) days after the date it is expected to occur, as such date was specified in the Company Notice.

     2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.

          2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock payable in shares of the Company's Common Stock or other securities of the Company or subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock, then upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, unless, in case this Warrant is exercisable into shares of the Company's Preferred Stock and the conversion ratio of such Preferred Stock already reflects such event for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend, subdivision or combination occurred.

          2.2 Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant (other than a merger, consolidation or recapitalization described in Section 1.5 above or a stock dividend, split, etc. described in Section 2.1 above), Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other event. By way of example, such an event shall include any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as the Shares to Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation upon the closing of a registered public offering of the Company's Common Stock. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 2 including, without limitation, appropriate adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise or conversion of the new Warrant.

          2.3 Adjustments of Warrant Price. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased. If the outstanding Shares are divided by reclassification or otherwise, into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased.

          2.4 Adjustment is Cumulative. The provisions of this Section 2 shall similarly apply to successive, stock dividends, stock spits or combinations, reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

          2.5 No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through a reorganization, 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 under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 2 and in

taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder's rights under this Section against impairment.

          2.6 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder an amount by check computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.

          2.7 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.

     3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

          3.1 Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder that all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase right represented by this Warrant, and all securities, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder that the Capitalization Table of the Company attached hereto as Exhibit B is true and correct as of the date hereof.

Holder has received such information about the Company as Holder deems reasonable, has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company with respect to its business, assets, prospects and financial condition and has verified any answers Holder has received from the Company with independent third parties to the extent Holder deems necessary. The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges this Warrant and the Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof or conversion thereof are being acquired solely for the Holder's own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof or conversion thereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Act or any state securities laws.

          4.2 Legends. This Warrant and the Shares (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any) shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR LAW OR PURSUANT TO RULE 144 AND ANY STATE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION NOT REQUIRED.

Subject to the provisions of Section 4.3, Holder may transfer all or part of this Warrant or the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any) by giving the Company a written notice of the portion of the Warrant being transferred, such notice setting forth the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee, and surrendering this Warrant to the Company for reissuance to the transferee(s) (and to the new Warrant Holder for any remaining Shares, if applicable).

          4.5 Market Standoff. The Holder agrees in connection with any registration of the Company's securities under the Act that, upon the request of the Company or the underwriters managing any registered public offering of the Company's securities, Holder will not sell or otherwise dispose of any Shares or any other securities of the Company without the prior written consent of the Company or such managing underwriters, as the case may be, for a period of time (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) after the effective date of such registration requested by such managing underwriters subject to all restrictions as the Company or the managing underwriters may specify generally. Holder further agrees to enter into any agreement reasonably required by the underwriters to implement the foregoing.

     In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company shall have the right to place restrictive legends on the certificates representing the Shares subject to this Section and to impose stop transfer instructions with respect to such Shares of Holder until the end of such period.
