Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

      This report contains forward-looking statements relating to future events and our future performance within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Stockholders are cautioned that such statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report and in our other public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is routine for internal projections and expectations to change as the year or each quarter in the year progresses, and therefore it should be clearly understood that the internal projections and beliefs upon which we base our expectations are made as of the date of this annual report on Form 10-K and may change prior to the end of each quarter or the year. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we may choose not to do so even if our estimates change.

PART I

 
Item 1. Business Overview

      We are a leading provider of products and services used by direct marketers, Web publishers and advertisers to plan, execute and analyze their marketing programs. Combining marketing technology and data expertise, our products and services help our customers optimize their advertising and marketing campaigns online and through direct mail. We offer a broad array of marketing technology and data products and services to our customers to allow them to address the full range of the marketing process, from pre-campaign planning and testing to execution, measurement and campaign refinements.

      In 2002, we derived our revenues from three business units: TechSolutions, Data (consisting of our Abacus division) and Media. During 2002, we sold our media businesses in a series of transactions. Accordingly, we will not report a DoubleClick Media segment in the future.

      DoubleClick TechSolutions: DoubleClick TechSolutions offers direct marketers, Web publishers and advertisers worldwide industry leading technology solutions for their marketing needs in an increasingly multi-channel world. In 2002, DoubleClick TechSolutions reported revenues of $187.2 million, a decline of 9.6% from 2001. We currently serve ads for over 1,300 clients worldwide. As of December 31, 2002, DoubleClick TechSolutions had also signed up over 290 customers for the DARTmail email delivery technology, which scaled to deliver over 2.4 billion emails in the fourth quarter of 2002.

      Since the successful launch of DoubleClick’s first technology product in 1997, DoubleClick, through our DoubleClick TechSolutions unit, has established a track record of innovation and reliability. With our acquisition of Protagona plc in November 2002, we now offer DoubleClick Ensemble, a campaign management software product and other related products and services. We have also introduced new products and services that provide our customers with additional capabilities and complement our existing products and services.

      The products offered by DoubleClick TechSolutions include our ad management products consisting of the DART for Publishers Service, the DART Enterprise ad serving software product, the DART for Advertisers Service, a suite of email products based on our DARTmail Service and our analytics and campaign management products and services.

      Our patented DART (Dynamic, Advertising, Reporting and Targeting) ad management technology is the platform for many of these products and services. The DART ad management technology is a sophisticated targeting, reporting and delivery tool, relied upon by our customers to measure campaign performance and provide dynamic ad space inventory management.

•  Ad Management Products.

  •  DART For Publishers Service. Since January 1997, our DART for Publishers Service has provided Web publishers with a comprehensive solution for ad inventory management and ad

  targeting, delivery and reporting. Deploying the DART ad management technology in data centers all over the world, the DART for Publishers Service offers the scalability, reliability and design needed to deliver large volumes of ads. We have enhanced rich media usability for our customers, which allows Web sites to use advanced technology, such as streaming video, downloaded programs that interact instantly with the user and ads that change when the user’s mouse passes over them. During 2002, we have added other advanced capabilities to our DART ad management technology for improved reach and more powerful brand impact, providing marketers with opportunities to generate more revenue and to more easily traffic, target, serve and report on ad campaigns.
 
  •  DART Enterprise Software. DART Enterprise is an online advertising and marketing management licensed software product for Web publishers and merchants. This ad serving software automates critical processes needed to run a successful online marketing business, including sophisticated inventory and order management, precision targeting, dynamic delivery, tracking and detailed campaign reporting. DART Enterprise enables our clients to customize and integrate this product with other key back-end systems. DART Enterprise was known as AdServer prior to March 2002.

  •  Advertiser Products.

  •  DART for Advertisers. The DART for Advertisers Service, which also uses the DART ad management technology, is a Web-based application that enables advertisers and their agencies to increase their return on investment and to streamline the ad management process through analytical reporting. The DART for Advertisers Service offers effective campaign planning, management and optimization to allow advertisers and their agencies to simplify and control their online ad campaigns, understand their customers and act quickly on knowledge gained.
 
  •  MediaVisor. MediaVisor is a Web-based workflow solution that streamlines the entire media planning, buying and tracking process for agencies and advertisers. MediaVisor can be used as a stand-alone tool or in conjunction with DART for Advertisers or with many existing in-house systems.

  •  Email Products. Our suite of email technology products includes both the DARTmail Service, which is a Web-based application, and Unitymail, a licensed software product. Our DARTmail Service enables advertisers and merchants to deliver personalized email communications to their customers for the purposes of building long-term, profitable relationships with their customers. These products and services allow direct marketers and Web publishers to manage and deliver their email marketing campaigns.
 
  •  Campaign Management Products.

  •  DoubleClick Ensemble. DoubleClick Ensemble is an integrated campaign management software solution that allows direct marketers to plan and execute their acquisition and retention programs from their desktop. This solution also enables marketers to track and analyze campaigns across multiple response channels and apply the learnings to optimize future marketing efforts. This solution was initially developed by Protagona plc, which we acquired in November 2002.

  •  Emerging Products and Services.

  •  SiteAdvance. In June 2002, we introduced SiteAdvance, a hosted Web site measurement and analysis solution that provides in-depth marketing analytics connecting Web site metrics with multi-channel marketing data. This tool, which complements our DARTmail and DART for Advertisers products and services, enables direct marketers to understand the interaction between marketing programs, site traffic and online transactions.
 
  •  Strategic Services. In the summer of 2002, we formed a Strategic Services team of marketing professionals and analysts that we expect will help our clients gain insight into marketing problems across numerous areas, including email marketing, online advertising, site analytics and optimization and database marketing.

      DoubleClick TechSolutions’ offerings are backed worldwide by support teams offering service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Through our professional services group, we provide comprehensive education and consulting services that help our customers maximize the value of our DoubleClick TechSolutions products and services. These consulting services include customizing and extending existing DoubleClick TechSolutions products and services in order to help our customers capitalize on additional revenue opportunities, integrating DoubleClick TechSolutions into existing infrastructure and data assets and training employees on maximizing online advertising effectiveness.

DoubleClick Data

      DoubleClick Data consists of our Abacus division and until May 2002, included our research division. DoubleClick Data generated revenues of $83.3 million in 2002, an increase of 2.5% from 2001 and our Abacus division generated $80.2 million in DoubleClick Data revenues in 2002, an increase of 12% from 2001. Our DoubleClick research business was, until the sale of its key remaining assets to NetRatings, Inc. in May 2002, reported as a part of our DoubleClick Data segment.

      Abacus is a leading provider of information products and services to the direct marketing industry. Abacus’ services help direct marketers, merchants and businesses to increase response rates and profits from their direct mail marketing campaigns. Abacus applies advanced statistical modeling techniques to the Abacus Alliance database of consumer and business purchasing behavior to help the Alliance members acquire and retain customers. Based on this data modeling, Abacus identifies those consumers or businesses most likely to purchase a particular product or service. Alliance members use this data to reach identified consumers and businesses by direct mail and email. Abacus is a cooperative alliance and only those members of the Abacus Alliance that contribute transaction information into the Abacus Alliance database are entitled to the full range of Abacus services.

      Abacus Products for Direct Marketing. Abacus has been primarily a United States based merchant to consumer business. Abacus also maintains the Abacus Alliance for direct marketers in the United Kingdom, which was operated through a joint venture with VNU until June 2002, at which time we acquired VNU’s 50% interest in the joint venture. Abacus also maintains a Business-to-Business Alliance which now has over one billion transactions and helps its members to improve their direct mail targeting and customer segmentation.

      The Abacus Alliance offers a combination of transactional, geographic, demographic and behavioral profile data, enabling marketers to gain a better understanding of consumer behaviors and conduct more effective marketing campaigns. The key products and services we offer to our Abacus Alliance members include the following:

  •  Prospecting. Our prospecting service provides a customer with new prospect names ranked according to the likelihood that the consumer will respond to a particular direct marketing offer. The criteria for ranking include recency, frequency, time of year and dollar amount of catalog purchases. This service enables catalog companies to expand their business base and offset consumer attrition.
 
  •  Housefile Modeling. Abacus’ housefile modeling services allow customers to match Abacus Alliance data to their existing customer information. This service offers our clients a ranking of the customers contained in a client’s housefile list according to their propensity to respond. This service also allows clients to select only optimal customers to mail, to reactivate older buyers, activate inquiries, suppress low performing names, cross-sell and replace marginal prospect lists at a lower cost.
 
  •  Direct Mail List Optimization. Like our prospecting service, our list optimization service ranks names on a direct mail list according to likelihood of response. This optimization service enables the customer to identify and target the most likely buyers. This process not only increases the potential profitability of the lists a client currently uses, whether a house list or acquired from another source, but also permits the client to use lists that were previously considered unprofitable by selecting names most likely to generate sales.

      Abacus has additional products that are designed to extend the Abacus modeling techniques, alliance relationships and tools. These products include the following:

  •  Business-to-Business Alliance. The Business-to-Business Alliance allows its participants to leverage the combined breadth of member transactional data managed through a cooperative database. Unlike the Abacus Alliance, which focuses on consumer catalog purchases transactional data, the Business-to-Business Alliance is designed for directly marketed business-to-business products and services.
 
  •  ChannelView. ChannelView is a tool designed for the multi-channel marketer to identify which campaigns are driving customers to purchase across multiple channels through access to daily analysis of marketing programs. ChannelView is a Web-based application that allows individual clients to see the results of their direct mail campaigns across multiple order channels, such as from Web sites, catalogs and retail stores.

DoubleClick Media

      Over the course of 2002, we disposed of our media business through a number of transactions. Specifically, in January, we sold our European media business to AdLINK Internet Media AG, a German provider of Internet advertising solutions. As a result of that sale, we currently hold 15% of the outstanding shares of AdLINK. In July, we sold our North American media business to MaxWorldwide, Inc., an independent Internet advertising sales company. As a result of that sale, we currently hold 19.8% of the outstanding shares of MaxWorldwide. In addition, in December 2002, we sold a portion of our interest in DoubleClick Japan to Trans Cosmos Inc., a provider of information technology services in Japan, which reduced our ownership interest from 38.2% to 15.6% of the outstanding shares of DoubleClick Japan. We also operated our media business in Asia (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, China and Singapore) through joint venture partners, which ceased operations in 2002.

      Prior to these dispositions, DoubleClick Media offered to advertisers worldwide a broad range of online media purchasing opportunities to satisfy a variety of marketing objectives. DoubleClick Media also enabled Web publishers worldwide to outsource ad sales for their Web sites to DoubleClick’s ad sales force and to leverage the revenue generating potential of their media by joining DoubleClick’s Web site network.

      DoubleClick Media generated revenues of $32.7 million in 2002, representing a decrease of 74.7% from 2001 due primarily to the dispositions of the media businesses in 2002. Going forward, we will no longer report a DoubleClick Media segment.

Technology Infrastructure

      DoubleClick’s technology infrastructure and operations are built to deliver high availability, performance, security and scalability. We built our systems environment with multiple layers of redundancy to help ensure we meet and exceed any service level agreements with our customers. We utilize multiple hosting and Internet service provider partners to maximize redundancy and diversity. Our server and networking environment is built with the same design criteria.

      Our systems management tools are designed to take full advantage of this robust architecture seamlessly when switching traffic from one server to another, one data center to another and from one Internet service provider to another. We have built in horizontal scaling capabilities where appropriate to help ensure the unlimited scalability. At the same time, the design helps us to minimize the impact of the problems if they occur.

      We have implemented tight change management processes to help ensure the integrity of the production environment. We emphasize the quality of service to our customers by employing internal as well as external monitoring capabilities. We not only provide the 24 hour, seven days a week monitoring for our internal technology environment but also we provide this service from the end-user perspective. We also have a problem resolution process and escalation steps to handle problems we may encounter while monitoring.

Sales and Marketing

 
North America

      We sell our products and services in the United States through a sales and marketing organization that consisted of 315 employees as of December 31, 2002. These employees are primarily located at our headquarters in New York and also in our offices in other North American cities, including Atlanta, Broomfield (CO), Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Toronto, Canada. We generally organize the sales force for our TechSolutions products into three teams, each one dedicated to one of our three customer groups: marketers, Web publishers and agencies. Our sales force for our Abacus products and services is generally organized into two teams, one dedicated to the business-to-consumer segment and the other dedicated to the business-to-business segment.

      We conduct comprehensive marketing programs and support our direct sales efforts to actively promote the DoubleClick brand. These programs include public relations, online advertisements, print advertisements, Web advertising seminars, trade shows and ongoing customer communications programs.

 
      International

      Our European operations are based out of our Irish subsidiary located in Dublin, Ireland and our Asian operations are run through our branch office in Hong Kong. We sell our technology products and services through our directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries primarily located in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Spain, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. In Japan, our technology products and services are sold through DoubleClick Japan, of which we own approximately 15% of the outstanding shares. We operate the international DoubleClick Data business through an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary located in the United Kingdom. Our international sales and marketing organization consisted of 99 employees as of December 31, 2002. Please see our discussion of the risks attendant to our international operations under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9.

Corporate History; Recent Significant Transactions

      We were incorporated in Delaware on January 23, 1996 as DoubleClick Incorporated, and changed our name to DoubleClick Inc. on May 14, 1996. On February 25, 1998, we completed our initial public offering of common stock, receiving net proceeds of approximately $62.5 million. On December 10, 1998, we received net proceeds of approximately $93.7 million in connection with our first follow-on offering of common stock. On March 16, 1999, we completed the sale of our 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006 through a private offering under Rule 144A, and received approximately $244.7 million in net proceeds. On April 2, 1999, we paid to stockholders of record on March 22, 1999 a stock dividend of one share of common stock for each share held. On January 10, 2000, we paid to stockholders of record as of December 31, 1999 a stock dividend of one share of common stock for each share held. On February 24, 2000, we received net proceeds of approximately $502.9 million in connection with a follow-on offering of common stock. During 2002, our service and product offerings were grouped into three segments for financial reporting: DoubleClick TechSolutions, DoubleClick Data and DoubleClick Media. Going forward our product and service offerings will be grouped into two segments for financial reporting: DoubleClick TechSolutions and DoubleClick Data and we will no longer report a DoubleClick Media segment.

      During 2002, we made acquisitions of certain complimentary businesses, and disposed of certain of our non-strategic businesses. Specifically, on January 18, 2002, we acquired MessageMedia, Inc., a provider of permission-based, email marketing and messaging products and services. On June 26, 2002, we acquired the remaining 50% of the Abacus Direct Europe joint venture that we did not previously own from VNU Marketing Information Europe & Asia B.V., an affiliate of Claritas (UK) Limited. In addition, on November 4, 2002, we acquired Protagona plc, a campaign management software company based in the United Kingdom. On January 28, 2002, we sold our European media business to AdLINK Internet Media AG, a German provider of Internet advertising solutions, and on July 10, 2002, we sold our North American Media business to MaxWorldwide, Inc., an independent Internet advertising sales company. On December 26,

2002, we also sold a portion of our interest in DoubleClick Japan to Trans Cosmo Inc., a provider of information technology services in Japan.

      Our Internet address is www.doubleclick.net. We make available free of charge on our Internet Web Site our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the SEC.

      See Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for revenues and gross profit attributable to each of our lines of business and revenues and long-lived asset information by geographic area.

Competition

      The market for marketing technology and data products and services is very competitive. We expect this competitive environment to continue in some of our businesses due to low barriers to entry. Competition may also increase as a result of industry consolidation.

      We believe that our ability to compete depends on many factors both within and beyond our control, including the following:

  •  the timing and acceptance of new products and services and enhancements to existing products and services developed either by us or our competitors;
 
  •  customer service and support efforts;
 
  •  our ability to adapt and scale our technology, and develop and introduce new technologies, as customer needs change and grow;
 
  •  sales and marketing efforts;
 
  •  the features, ease of use, performance, price and reliability of products and services developed either by us or our competitors; and
 
  •  the relative impact of general economic and industry conditions on either us or our competitors.

      DoubleClick TechSolutions’ ad management products and services compete with providers of outsourced ad management services and ad serving software and related services as well as inhouse solutions. TechSolutions’ email delivery products and services compete with other providers of email delivery and inhouse solutions, including providers of email delivery software and related services.

      DoubleClick Data, through the Abacus division, competes with a broad range of companies that provide information products and marketing research services to the direct marketing industry. Our Abacus division also competes with data aggregation companies for a share of our customers’ marketing data budgets.

      In addition, customer relationship management companies offer products and services that compete functionally with those offered by several of DoubleClick’s business units. DoubleClick TechSolutions and DoubleClick Data also compete with companies engaged in marketing analytics and marketing automation.

Privacy and Data Protection

      We have been a leader in promoting consumer privacy and are committed to enhancing consumer understanding of the technologies that are used to provide information to marketing technology and data companies like DoubleClick. Our Chief Privacy Officer leads our privacy and data protection efforts. Our privacy team focuses on ensuring that we are effectively implementing our privacy policies and procedures, works with our clients to institute and improve their privacy procedures and educates our customers and the industry about our leadership with regard to privacy.

      In 2000, we created a Privacy Advisory Board consisting of consumer advocates, security experts and authorities in the field of online privacy. The Privacy Advisory Board makes recommendations about how we can improve privacy procedures through the adoption of policies aimed at protecting the privacy interests of consumers online. In addition, we conduct periodic reviews of our data protection practices.

7


 

Seasonality and Cyclicality

      We believe that our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Advertisers generally place fewer advertisements during the first and third calendar quarters of each year, which directly affects our DoubleClick TechSolutions business, and the direct marketing industry generally compiles more customer data in the third calendar quarter, which directly affects our DoubleClick Data business. Further, Internet user traffic typically drops during the summer months, which reduces the amount of online advertising. Expenditures by direct marketers and advertisers tend to vary in cycles that reflect overall economic conditions as well as budgeting and buying patterns. We believe that our email technology business may experience seasonal patterns similar to those of the traditional direct marketing industry, which typically generates lower revenues earlier in the calendar year and higher revenues during the calendar year-end months. If these patterns continue our revenue may be affected by these fluctuations. Our revenue has in the past and may in the future be materially affected by a decline in the economic prospects of our customers or in the economy or our industry in general, which could alter our current or prospective customers’ spending priorities or budget cycles or extend our sales cycle.

Proprietary Rights

      Our success and ability to effectively compete are substantially dependent on the protection of our proprietary technologies and our other intellectual property, which we protect through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, unfair competition and contract law. In September 1999, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued to us a patent that covers our DART ad management technology and service. We own other patents, and have patent applications pending, for our technology and related products and services.

      We also have rights in the trademarks and service marks that we use to market our products and services. These marks include, among others, DOUBLECLICK®, DART®, DARTMAIL®, ABACUSTM, DOUBLECLICK ENSEMBLETM, SITEADVANCETM and CHANNELVIEWTM. We have applied to register our trademarks in the United States and internationally. We have received registrations for the marks DOUBLECLICK, DART, DARTMAIL and the Abacus logo and have applied for registrations of others. We cannot assure you that any of our current or future patent applications or trademark or service mark applications will be approved. In addition, we have licensed, and may license in the future, our trademarks, trade dress and similar proprietary rights to third parties.

      In order to secure and protect our proprietary rights, we generally enter into confidentiality, proprietary rights and license agreements, as appropriate, with our employees, consultants and business and technology partners, and generally control access to and distribution of our technologies, documentation and other proprietary information. Despite these efforts, we cannot be certain that the steps we take to prevent unauthorized use of our proprietary rights are sufficient to prevent misappropriation of our products and services, technologies or intellectual property, particularly in foreign countries where laws or law enforcement practices may not protect our proprietary or intellectual property rights as fully as in the United States. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to adequately enforce the contractual arrangements that we have entered into to protect our proprietary technologies and intellectual property.

      Third parties have asserted, and may in the future assert, infringement claims against us, which could adversely affect the value of our proprietary rights, our intellectual property and our reputation. Such claims could subject us to significant liability for damages, and we could be restricted from using our intellectual property. Any claims asserted by third parties or litigation instituted by third parties may also result in limitations on our ability to use our intellectual property, unless we enter into arrangements with third parties responsible for such claims, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

EMPLOYEES

      As of December 31, 2002, we employed 1,111 persons, including 414 in sales and marketing, 213 in engineering and product development, 321 in technology operations, customer support and consulting and

8


 

customer support, and 163 in general administration. We are not subject to any collective bargaining agreements and believe that our relationships with our employees are good.

RISK FACTORS

      As indicated in this annual report on Form 10-K under the caption “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, certain of the information contained in this annual report consists of forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include the following:

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMPANY AND OUR BUSINESS

      WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND OUR FUTURE FINANCIAL RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE, WHICH MAY CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE.

      We have a limited operating history. An investor in our common stock must consider the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in new and rapidly evolving industries, including the marketing technology and data businesses. Our risks include:

  •  ability to achieve anticipated revenue growth rates;
 
  •  ability to manage our operations;
 
  •  competition;
 
  •  attracting, retaining and motivating qualified personnel;
 
  •  maintaining our current, and developing, new relationships with direct marketers, Web publishers, advertisers and advertising agencies;
 
  •  ability to anticipate and adapt to the changing industry conditions; and
 
  •  ability to develop and introduce new products and services and continue to develop, upgrade and integrate technology.

      We also depend on the use of the Internet for advertising and as a communications medium, the demand for advertising services in general, and on general economic and industry conditions. We cannot assure you that our business strategy will be successful or that we will successfully address these risks. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our revenues may decline or may not grow in accordance with our business model and may fall short of expectations of market analysts and investors, which could negatively affect the price of our stock.

      WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES AND ANTICIPATE CONTINUED LOSSES.

      We have incurred net losses each year since inception, including net losses of $117.9 million, $265.8 million and $156.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. As of December 31, 2002, our accumulated deficit was $666.4 million. We have not achieved profitability on an annual basis and expect to incur operating losses at times in the future. We expect to continue to incur significant operating and capital expenditures. We also have lease obligations for facilities that currently constitute excess or idle facilities. Periodically, we evaluate the expenses likely to be incurred for these facilities, and where appropriate, have taken restructuring charges with respect to these expenses. We cannot assure you that there will not be additional restructuring charges recognized with respect to our excess or idle facilities. As a result of these factors, we will need to generate significant revenue to achieve and maintain profitability. We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient revenue to achieve or sustain profitability. Even if we do achieve profitability, we cannot assure you that we can sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. If revenue does not meet our expectations, or if operating expenses exceed what we anticipate or cannot be reduced accordingly, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.

      WE DERIVE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR REVENUE FROM ADVERTISING SERVICES. A CONTINUED DECREASE IN EXPENDITURES BY DIRECT MARKETERS AND ADVERTISERS OR A CONTINUED DOWNTURN IN THE ECONOMY COULD CAUSE OUR REVENUES TO DECLINE SIGNIFICANTLY IN ANY GIVEN PERIOD.

      We derive, and expect to continue to derive for the foreseeable future, a large portion of our revenue from products and services we provide to direct marketers, Web publishers, advertisers and advertising agencies. Expenditures by direct marketers and advertisers tend to be cyclical, reflecting overall economic conditions as well as budgeting and buying patterns. The overall market for advertising, including online advertising, has been characterized in the last couple of years by increasing softness of demand, lower prices for advertisements, the reduction or cancellation of advertising contracts, an increased risk of uncollectible receivables from customers and the reduction of marketing and advertising budgets, especially for online advertising. As a result of these reductions, advertising spending across traditional media, as well as the Internet, has decreased. We cannot assure you that further reductions will not occur.

      The revenue outlook for DoubleClick TechSolutions is adversely affected by an environment where the supply of advertising inventory exceeds advertisers’ demand. Under these circumstances, Web publishers tend to remove ad space from their Web sites in an effort to correct the supply-demand imbalance; other Web publishers may cut back on their Web presence or go out of business. Faced with smaller budgets, advertisers and advertising agencies purchase less advertising inventory and tend not to invest as much in online advertising. Consequently, the number of ad impressions delivered by DoubleClick TechSolutions may decline or fail to grow or the price that we can charge for our services may decline, which in either case would adversely affect our revenues. A decline in the economic prospects of direct marketers or the economy in general would also adversely impact the revenue outlook for our email business.

      DoubleClick Data, which provides products and services to direct marketers, may face similar pressures. Some direct marketers may respond to economic downturns by reducing the number of catalogs mailed, thereby possibly reducing the demand for DoubleClick Data’s services. If direct marketing activities fail to grow or decline our revenues could be adversely affected.

      We cannot assure you that further reductions in marketing spending will not occur. We also cannot assure you that if economic conditions improve, marketing budgets and advertising spending will increase, or not decrease, from current levels. A continued decline in the economic prospects of marketers or the economy in general could alter current or prospective marketers’ spending priorities or increase the time it takes to close a sale with a customer. As a result, our revenues from marketing and advertising may decline significantly in any given period.

 
      WE DO NOT OFTEN MAINTAIN LONG-TERM AGREEMENTS WITH OUR CUSTOMERS AND MAY BE UNABLE TO RETAIN CUSTOMERS, ATTRACT NEW CUSTOMERS OR REPLACE DEPARTING CUSTOMERS WITH CUSTOMERS THAT CAN PROVIDE COMPARABLE REVENUES.

      Many of our contracts with our customers are short-term. We cannot assure you that our customers will continue to use our products and services or that we will be able to replace in a timely or effective manner departing customers with new customers that generate comparable revenues. Further, we cannot assure you that our customers will continue to generate consistent amounts of revenues over time. Our failure to develop and sustain long-term relationships with our customers would materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

 
      MANY OF OUR CUSTOMERS CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE BUSINESS CONDITIONS THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

Some of our customers have experienced and may continue to experience difficulty raising capital and supporting their current operations and implementing their business plans, or may be anticipating such difficulties and, therefore, may elect to scale back the resources they devote to marketing in general and our offerings in particular. These customers may not be able to discharge their payment and other obligations to

10


 

us. The non-payment or late payment of amounts due to us from our customers could negatively impact our financial condition. If the current business environment for our customers does not improve, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, failure of our customers to comply with federal, state or local laws or the Company’s policies could damage our reputation and adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.
 
INDUSTRY SHIFTS, CONTINUING EXPANSION OF OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AND OTHER CHANGES MAY STRAIN OUR MANAGERIAL, OPERATIONAL, FINANCIAL AND INFORMATION SYSTEM RESOURCES.

      In recent years, we have had to respond to significant changes in our industry. As a result, we have experienced industry shifts, continuing expansion of product and service offerings and other changes that have increased the complexity of our business and placed considerable demands on our managerial, operational and financial resources. We continue to increase the scope of our product and service offerings both domestically and internationally and to deploy our resources in accordance with changing business conditions and opportunities. To continue to successfully implement our business plan in our changing industry requires effective planning and management processes. We expect that we will need to continue to improve our financial and managerial controls and reporting systems and procedures and will need to continue to train and manage our workforce. We cannot assure you that management will be effective in attracting and retaining qualified personnel, integrating acquired businesses or otherwise responding to new business conditions. We also cannot assure you that our information systems, procedures or policies will be adequate to support our operations or that our management will be able to achieve the execution necessary to offer our products and services and implement our business plan successfully. Our inability to effectively respond to these challenges could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 
OUR BUSINESS MODEL IS UNPROVEN, AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GENERATE PROFITS FROM MANY OF OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

      A significant part of our business model involves generating revenue by providing marketing technology and data products and services to direct marketers, Web publishers and advertisers. The profit potential for our business model has not yet been proven, and we have not yet achieved full-year profitability. The profitability of our business model is subject to external and internal factors. Any single factor or combination of factors could limit the profit potential, long term and short term, of our business model.

      Like other businesses in the marketing and advertising sectors, our revenue outlook is sensitive to downturns in the economy, including declines in advertising and marketing budgets. The profit potential of our business model is also subject to the acceptance of our products and services by direct marketers, Web publishers and advertisers. Intensive marketing and sales efforts may be necessary to educate prospective customers regarding the uses and benefits of, and to generate demand for, our products and services. Enterprises may be reluctant or slow to adopt a new approach that may replace existing techniques, or may feel that our offerings fall short of their needs. If these outcomes occur, it would have an adverse effect on the profit potential of our business model.

      Internal factors also influence the profit potential of our business model. In order to be profitable, our revenue must exceed the expense incurred by us to run our technology infrastructure, research and development, sales and marketing and all other operations. Our failure to achieve these results would adversely affect the profit potential of our business model.

 
MISAPPROPRIATION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION COULD CAUSE US TO LOSE CUSTOMERS.

      We currently retain highly confidential information of our customers in secure database servers. Although we observe security measures throughout our operations, we cannot assure you that we will be able to prevent unauthorized individuals from gaining access to these database servers. Any unauthorized access to our servers, or abuse by our employees, could result in the theft of confidential customer information. If

11


 

confidential customer information is compromised, we could lose customers or become subject to litigation and our reputation could be harmed, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
 
COMPETITION IN DIRECT MARKETING, ONLINE ADVERTISING AND RELATED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IS INTENSE, AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY.

      The market for marketing technology and data products and services is very competitive. We expect this competition to continue because there are low barriers to entry for some of our businesses. Also, industry consolidation may lead to stronger, better capitalized entities against which we must compete. We expect that we will encounter additional competition from new sources as we expand our product and service offerings.

      We believe that our ability to compete depends on many factors both within and beyond our control, including the following:

  •  the features, performance, price and reliability of products and services offered either by us or our competitors;
 
  •  the launch timing and market success of products and services developed either by us or our competitors;
 
  •  our ability to adapt and scale our products and services, and to develop and introduce new products and services that respond to market needs;
 
  •  our ability to adapt to evolving technology and industry standards;
 
  •  our customer service and support efforts;
 
  •  our sales and marketing efforts; and
 
  •  the relative impact of general economic and industry conditions on either us or our competitors.

      Our divisions face competition from a variety of sources. DoubleClick TechSolutions competes with providers of software and service bureau solutions for the delivery of Web ads and email for direct marketers, Web publishers and advertisers as well as with inhouse solutions. We also compete with providers of email delivery and inhouse solutions, including providers of email delivery software and related services.

      DoubleClick Data competes with data aggregation companies and providers of information products and marketing research services to the direct marketing industry. We also compete indirectly with others, such as providers of customer relationship management services, companies engaged in providing analytic services and other companies that facilitate marketing automation.

      Many of our existing and potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we have. These factors could allow them to compete more effectively than we can, including devoting greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products and services, engaging in more extensive research and development, undertaking more far-reaching marketing campaigns, adopting more aggressive pricing policies and making more attractive offers to existing and potential employees, strategic partners, direct marketers, Web publishers and advertisers. We cannot assure you that our competitors will not develop products or services that are equal or superior to our products and services or that achieve greater acceptance than our products and services. In addition, current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of their products or services to address the needs of our prospective direct marketer, Web publisher, advertising and ad agency customers. As a result, it is possible that new competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced gross profits and loss of market share. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully or that competitive pressures will not materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

OUR QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS ARE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATIONS AND YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON THEM AS AN INDICATION OF FUTURE OPERATING PERFORMANCE.

      Our revenue and results of operations may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

  •  direct marketer, Web publisher and advertiser demand for our products and services;
 
  •  Internet user traffic levels;
 
  •  number and size of ad units per page on our customers’ Web sites;
 
  •  downward pricing pressures from current and potential customers for our products and services;
 
  •  the introduction of new products or services by us or our competitors;
 
  •  variations in the levels of capital, operating expenditures and other costs relating to our operations;
 
  •  the size and timing of significant pre-tax charges, including for goodwill impairment, the write-down of assets and restructuring charges, such as costs for severance and idle facilities;
 
  •  costs related to any acquisitions or dispositions of technologies or businesses;
 
  •  general seasonal and cyclical fluctuations; and
 
  •  general economic and industry conditions.

      We may not be able to adjust spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected revenue shortfall. Our expenses include upgrading and enhancing our ad management and email delivery technology, expanding our product and service offerings, marketing and supporting our products and services and supporting our sales and marketing operations. If we have a shortfall in revenue in relation to our expenses, or if our expenses exceed revenue, then our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. These results would likely affect the market price of our common stock in a manner that may be unrelated to our long-term operating performance.

      Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Advertisers generally place fewer advertisements during the first and third calendar quarters of each year, which directly affects the DoubleClick TechSolutions business. Further, Internet user traffic typically drops during the summer months, which reduces the amount of online advertising. The direct marketing industry generally uses our data services more in the third calendar quarter based on plans for holiday season mailings, which directly affects the DoubleClick Data business. The email technology business may experience seasonal patterns similar to the traditional direct marketing industry, which typically generates lower revenues earlier in the calendar year and higher revenues during the calendar year-end months.

      As a result, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations may not be indicators of future performance. It is possible that in some future periods our results of operations may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In this event, the price of our common stock may fall.

 
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO GROW THROUGH ACQUISITIONS OF OR INVESTMENTS IN OTHER COMPANIES.

      Our business has expanded rapidly in part as a result of acquisitions or investments in other companies, including the acquisitions of Abacus Direct, NetGravity, FloNetwork, MessageMedia and Protagona. We may continue to acquire or make investments in other complementary businesses, products, services or technologies as a means to grow our business. From time to time we have had discussions with other companies regarding our acquiring, or investing in, their businesses, products, services or technologies. We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify other suitable acquisition or investment candidates. Even if we do identify suitable candidates, we cannot assure you that we will be able to make other acquisitions or investments on

13


 

commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Even if we agree to buy a company, technology or other assets, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in consummating the purchase. If we are unable to continue to expand through acquisitions, our revenue may decline or fail to grow.

      We are also minority investors in a few technology companies, including AdLINK, MaxWorldwide and DoubleClick Japan. Our investments have decreased in value as a result of market volatility, and periodically, we have recorded charges to earnings for all or a portion of the unrealized loss due to declines in market value considered to be other than temporary. The market value of these investments may decline in future periods due to the continued volatility in the stock market in general or the market prices of securities of technology companies in particular and we may be required to record further charges to earnings as a result. Further, we cannot assure you that we will be able to sell these securities at or above our cost basis. We have recorded goodwill in connection with a number of our acquired businesses, including MessageMedia, FloNetwork and Flashbase. As a result of significantly lower than-expected revenues generated to date and considerably reduced estimates of future performance, we have in the past recognized impairment charges with respect to the goodwill of some acquired businesses. If market conditions require, we may in the future record additional impairments in the value of our acquired businesses.

 
WE MAY NOT MANAGE THE INTEGRATION OF ACQUIRED COMPANIES SUCCESSFULLY OR ACHIEVE DESIRED RESULTS.

      As a part of our business strategy, we have in the past, and could in the future enter into a number of business combinations and acquisitions. Acquisitions are accompanied by a number of risks, including:

  •  the difficulty of assimilating the operations and personnel of the acquired companies;
 
  •  the potential disruption of the ongoing businesses and distraction of our management and the management of acquired companies;
 
  •  the difficulty of incorporating acquired technology and rights into our products and services;
 
  •  unanticipated expenses related to technology and other integration;
 
  •  difficulties in disposing of the excess or idle facilities of an acquired company or business;
 
  •  difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;
 
  •  the impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new management personnel;
 
  •  the inability to develop new products and services that combine our knowledge and resources and our acquired businesses or the failure for a demand to develop for the combined companies’ new products and services;
 
  •  potential failure to achieve additional sales and enhance our customer base through cross-marketing of the combined company’s products to new and existing customers; and
 
  •  potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses.

      We may not succeed in addressing these risks or other problems encountered in connection with these business combinations and acquisitions. If so, these risks and problems could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations. Furthermore, we may incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for any future acquisitions. The issuance of equity securities could be dilutive to our existing stockholders.

 
DISRUPTION OF OUR SERVICES DUE TO UNANTICIPATED PROBLEMS OR FAILURES COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

      Our DART ad management and DARTmail technologies reside in our data centers in multiple locations in the United States and abroad. Continuing and uninterrupted performance of our technology is critical to our success. Customers may become dissatisfied by any system failure that interrupts our ability to provide our

14


 

services to them, including failures affecting our ability to deliver advertisements without significant delay to the viewer or our ability to deliver a customer’s online marketing campaign. Sustained or repeated system failures would reduce the attractiveness of our products and services to our customers and could result in contract terminations or fee rebates or credits, thereby reducing revenue. Slower response time or system failures may also result from straining the capacity of our technology due to an increase in the volume of advertising delivered through our servers. To the extent that we do not effectively address any capacity constraints or system failures, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

      Our operations are dependent on our ability to protect our computer systems against damage from natural disasters, fire, power loss, water damage, telecommunications failures, vandalism and other malicious acts, and similar unexpected adverse events. In addition, interruptions in our products or services could result from the failure of our telecommunications providers to provide the necessary data communications capacity in the time frame we require. Unanticipated problems affecting our systems have from time to time in the past caused, and in the future could cause, interruptions in the delivery of our products and services. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected by any damage or failure that interrupts, delays or destroys our operations. Some of our data centers are located at facilities provided by a third party and if these parties are unable to adequately protect our data centers, our business, results of operations and financial conditions could be materially and adversely affected. We are in the process of moving our primary data center from New York to Thornton, Colorado. Any unanticipated problems that may occur during or as a result of this move could adversely affect our systems and harm our business.

 
WE DEPEND ON THIRD-PARTY INTERNET AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDERS, OVER WHOM WE HAVE NO CONTROL, TO OPERATE OUR SERVICES. INTERRUPTIONS IN OUR SERVICES CAUSED BY ONE OF THESE PROVIDERS COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON REVENUE AND SECURING ALTERNATE SOURCES OF THESE SERVICES COULD SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE EXPENSES.

      We depend heavily on several third-party providers of Internet and related telecommunication services, including hosting and co-location facilities, in delivering our products and services. These companies may not continue to provide services to us without disruptions in service, at the current cost or at all. The costs associated with any transition to a new service provider could be substantial, requiring us to reengineer our computer systems and telecommunications infrastructure to accommodate a new service provider. This process could be both expensive and time consuming. In addition, failure of our Internet and related telecommunications providers to provide the data communications capacity in the time frame we require could cause interruptions in the services we provide. Unanticipated problems affecting our computer and telecommunications systems in the future could cause interruptions in the delivery of our services, causing a loss of revenue and potential loss of customers.

 
WE ARE DEPENDENT ON KEY PERSONNEL AND ON KEY EMPLOYEE RETENTION AND RECRUITING FOR OUR FUTURE SUCCESS.

      Our future success depends to a significant extent on the continued service of our key technical, sales and senior management personnel. We do not have employment agreements with most of these executives and do not maintain key person life insurance on any of these executives. The loss of the services of one or more of our key employees could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our product development and other business objectives and could harm our business. Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees for key positions. There is competition for qualified employees in our industry. We may not be able to retain our key employees or attract, assimilate and retain other highly qualified employees in the future.

      We have from time to time in the past experienced, and we expect to continue to experience in the future, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications for some positions.

15


 

 
IF WE FAIL TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, WE COULD LOSE OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

      Our success and ability to effectively compete are substantially dependent on the protection of our proprietary technologies, patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights and trade secrets, which we protect through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, unfair competition and contract law. We cannot assure you that any of our intellectual property rights will be viable or of value in the future.

      In September 1999, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued to us a patent that covers our DART ad management technology. We are currently seeking reissue of this patent, which would limit the scope of the existing patent, and this reissue proceeding is pending before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. We cannot assure you that this patent will be reissued. We own other patents, and have patent applications pending for our other technology. We cannot assure you that the patent applications that we have filed in the United States and internationally will be issued or that patents issued or acquired by us now or in the future will be valid and enforceable or provide us with any meaningful protection.

      We also have rights in the trademarks and service marks that we use to market our products and services. These marks include DOUBLECLICK®, DART®, DARTMAIL®, ABACUSTM, DOUBLECLICK ENSEMBLETM, SITEADANCETM AND CHANNELVIEWTM. We have applied to register our trademarks and service marks in the United States and internationally. We cannot assure you that any of these current or future applications will be approved. Even if these marks are registered, these marks may be invalidated or successfully challenged by others. If our trademarks or service marks are not registered because third parties own these marks, our use of these marks will be restricted unless we are able to enter into arrangements with these parties, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

      We also enter into confidentiality, assignments of proprietary rights and license agreements, as appropriate, with our employees, consultants and business and technology partners, and generally control access to and distribution of our technologies, documentation and other proprietary information. Despite these efforts, we cannot be certain that the steps we take to prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights are sufficient to prevent misappropriation of our products and services or technologies, particularly in foreign countries where laws or law enforcement practices may not protect our intellectual property rights as fully as in the United States. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to adequately enforce the contractual arrangements that we have entered into to protect our proprietary technologies and intellectual property. If we lose our intellectual property rights, this could have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 
IF WE FACE A CLAIM OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT, WE MAY BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES AND BE REQUIRED TO MAKE CHANGES TO OUR TECHNOLOGY OR BUSINESS.

      Infringement claims may be asserted against us, which could adversely affect our reputation and the value of our intellectual property rights. From time to time we have been, and we expect to continue to be, subject to claims or notices in the ordinary course of our business, including assertions of alleged infringement of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties by us or our customers. We do not conduct exhaustive patent searches to determine whether our technology infringes patents held by others. In addition, the protection of proprietary rights in Internet related industries is inherently uncertain due to the rapidly evolving technological environment. As such, there may be numerous patent applications pending, many of which are confidential during a large part of their prosecution, that provide for technologies similar to ours.

      Third party infringement claims and any resultant litigation, should it occur, could subject us to significant liability for damages, restrict us from using our technology or operating our business generally, or require changes to be made to our technology. Even if we prevail, litigation is time consuming and expensive to defend and would result in the diversion of management’s time and attention. Claims from third parties may also result in limitations on our ability to use the intellectual property subject to these claims unless we are able to enter into royalty, licensing or other similar agreements with the third parties asserting these claims.

16


 

Such agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to enter into these types of agreements, we would be required to either cease using the subject product or change the technology underlying the applicable product. If a successful claim of infringement is brought against us and we fail to develop non-infringing technology as an alternative or to license the infringed or similar technology on a timely basis, it could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
OUR BUSINESS MAY BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY LAWSUITS RELATED TO PRIVACY, DATA PROTECTION AND OUR BUSINESS PRACTICES.

      We have been a defendant in several lawsuits alleging, among other things, that we unlawfully obtain and use Internet users’ personal information and that our use of cookies violates various laws. We have also been the subject of an inquiry involving the attorneys general of several states relating to our practices in the collection, maintenance and use of information about, and our disclosure of these information practices to, Internet users. Although these particular situations were resolved in 2002, we may in the future be subject to additional claims or regulatory inquiries with respect to our business practices. Class action litigation and regulatory inquiries of these types are often expensive and time consuming and their outcome may be uncertain.

      Any additional claims or regulatory inquiries, whether successful or not, could require us to devote significant amounts of monetary or human resource to defend ourselves and could harm our reputation. We may need to spend significant amounts on our legal defense, senior management may be required to divert their attention from other portions of our business, new product launches may be deferred or canceled as a result of any proceedings, and we may be required to make changes to our present and planned products or services, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If, as a result of any proceedings, a judgment is rendered or a decree is entered against us, it may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and harm our reputation.

 
OUR BUSINESS DEPENDS IN PART ON SUCCESSFUL ADAPTATION OF OUR BUSINESS TO INTERNATIONAL MARKETS, IN WHICH WE HAVE LIMITED EXPERIENCE. FAILURE TO SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE THE RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS AND SALES AND MARKETING EFFORTS WOULD HARM OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

      We have operations in a number of countries and have limited experience in developing localized versions of our products and services and in marketing, selling and distributing our products and services internationally. We sell our technology products and services through our directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries primarily located in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, Ireland, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. In Japan, we sell our technology products and services through DoubleClick Japan, of which we own approximately 15%. We also operate the DoubleClick Data business in the United Kingdom.

      Our international operations are subject to other inherent risks, including:

  •  the high cost of maintaining international operations;
 
  •  uncertain demand for our products and services;
 
  •  the impact of recessions in economies outside the United States;
 
  •  changes in regulatory requirements;
 
  •  more restrictive data protection regulation;
 
  •  reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;
 
  •  potentially adverse tax consequences;
 
  •  difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign operations;

17


 

  •  cultural differences in the conduct of business;
 
  •  political and economic instability;
 
  •  fluctuations in currency exchange rates; and
 
  •  seasonal fluctuations in Internet usage and marketing and advertising spending.

      These risks may have a material and adverse impact on the business, results of operations and financial condition of our operations in a particular country and could result in a decision by us to reduce or discontinue operations in that country. The combined impact of these risks in each country may also materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition as a whole.

 
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS IN OUR CHARTER DOCUMENTS AND DELAWARE LAW MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR A THIRD PARTY TO ACQUIRE US.

      Some of the provisions of our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law could, together or separately:

  •  discourage potential acquisition proposals;
 
  •  delay or prevent a change in control; or
 
  •  impede the ability of our stockholders to change the composition of our board of directors in any one year.

      As a result, it could be more difficult for third parties to acquire us, even if doing so might be beneficial to our stockholders. Difficulty in acquiring us could, in turn, limit the price that investors might be willing to pay for shares of our common stock.

 
OUR STOCK PRICE MAY EXPERIENCE EXTREME PRICE AND VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS, AND THIS VOLATILITY COULD RESULT IN US BECOMING SUBJECT TO SECURITIES LITIGATION, WHICH IS EXPENSIVE AND COULD RESULT IN A DIVERSION OF RESOURCES.

      The market price of our common stock has fluctuated in the past and is likely to continue to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. In addition, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Investors may be unable to resell their shares of our common stock at or above their purchase price.

      Additionally, in the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. Many companies in our industry have been subject to this type of litigation in the past. We may also become involved in this type of litigation. Litigation is often expensive and diverts management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 
FUTURE SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

      As of December 31, 2002, we had 136,173,715 shares of common stock outstanding, excluding 18,707,691 shares subject to options outstanding as of such date under our stock option plans that are exercisable at prices ranging from $0.01 to $1,134.80 per share. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of common stock or the availability of shares of common stock for future sale will have on the market price of our common stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock, including shares issued upon the exercise of stock options, or the perception that such sales could occur, may materially reduce prevailing market prices for our common stock.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY

 
DIRECT MARKETERS AND ADVERTISERS MAY BE RELUCTANT TO DEVOTE A PORTION OF THEIR BUDGETS TO MARKETING TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OR ONLINE ADVERTISING.

      Companies doing business on the Internet, including DoubleClick, must compete with traditional advertising media, including television, radio, cable and print, for a share of advertisers’ total marketing budgets. Potential customers may be reluctant to devote a significant portion of their marketing budget to online advertising or marketing technology and data products and services if they perceive the Internet or direct marketing to be a limited or ineffective marketing medium. Any shift in marketing budgets away from marketing technology and data products or services or online advertising spending could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 
THE LACK OF APPROPRIATE ADVERTISING MEASUREMENT STANDARDS OR TOOLS MAY CAUSE US TO LOSE CUSTOMERS OR PREVENT US FROM CHARGING A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT FOR OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

      Because online marketing technology and data products and services remain relatively new disciplines, there are currently no generally accepted methods or tools for measuring the efficacy of online marketing and advertising as there are for advertising in television, radio, cable and print. Many traditional advertisers may be reluctant to spend sizable portions of their budget on online marketing and advertising until there exist widely accepted methods and tools that measure the efficacy of their campaigns.

      We could lose customers or fail to gain customers if our products and services do not utilize the measuring methods and tools that may become generally accepted. Further, new measurement standards and tools could require us to change our business and the means used to charge our customers, which could result in a loss of customer revenues.

 
IF THE DELIVERY OF INTERNET ADVERTISING ON THE WEB, OR THE DELIVERY OF OUR EMAIL MESSAGES, ARE LIMITED OR BLOCKED, DEMAND FOR OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES MAY DECLINE.

      Our business may be adversely affected by the adoption by computer users of technologies that harm the performance of our products and services. For example, computer users may use software designed to filter or prevent the delivery of Internet advertising or Internet browsers set to block the use of cookies. We cannot assure you that the number of computer users who employ these or other similar technologies will not increase, thereby diminishing the efficacy of our products and services. In the case that one or more of these technologies becomes widely adopted by computer users, demand for our products and services would decline.

      We also depend on our ability to deliver emails over the Internet through Internet service providers and private networks. Internet service providers are able to block messages from reaching their users and we do not have, nor are we required to have, agreements with any Internet service providers to deliver emails to their customers. As a result, we could experience periodic temporary blockages of our delivery of emails to their customers, which would limit the effectiveness of our email marketing. Some Internet service providers also use proprietary technologies to handle and deliver email. If Internet service providers materially limit or block the delivery of our emails, or if our technology fails to be compatible with these Internet service providers’ email technologies, then our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, the effectiveness of email marketing may decrease as a result of increased consumer resistance to email marketing in general.

NEW LAWS OR REGULATION IN THE UNITED STATES AND INTERNATIONALLY, AND UNCERTAINTIES REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF EXISTING LAWS AND REGULATIONS, COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

      Laws applicable to Internet communications, e-commerce, Internet advertising, privacy and data protection, direct marketing and emailing marketing are becoming more prevalent in the United States and worldwide. For example, various U.S. state and foreign governments may attempt to regulate our ad delivery or levy sales or other taxes on our activities, and several states and foreign countries have enacted legislation regulating the sending of unsolicited emails.

      In addition, many areas of the law affecting the Internet remain largely unsettled, even in areas where there has been some legislative action. It is difficult to determine whether and how existing laws such as those governing intellectual property, privacy and data protection, libel and taxation apply to the Internet, online marketing and advertising and our businesses.

      The growth and development of Internet commerce has prompted calls for more stringent consumer protection laws, both in the United States and abroad. These proposals may seek to impose additional burdens on companies conducting business over the Internet. Potential limitations on the collection and use of information relating to Internet users, particularly relating to email marketing, are being considered by legislatures and regulatory agencies in the United States and internationally. We are unable to predict whether any particular proposal will pass, or the nature of the limitations that may be imposed. In addition, it is possible that changes to existing law, including both amendments to existing laws and new interpretations of existing law, could have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

      The following are examples of legislation enacted or currently being considered in the United States and internationally:

  •  Legislation has been enacted in some countries and proposed in the United States to regulate the use of cookie technology. Our technology uses cookies for ad targeting and reporting, among other things. The changes required for us to comply with newly imposed requirements may be commercially unfeasible, or simply unattainable. We may, therefore, be required to discontinue the relevant business practice.
 
  •  Data protection officials in some European countries have asserted that Internet protocol addresses and cookies are intrinsically personally-identifiable information thereby subject to privacy standards that may be more stringent than those in the U.S. We cannot assure you that our current policies and procedures would meet these more restrictive standards. The cost of such compliance could be material and we may not be able to comply with the applicable national regulations in a timely or cost-effective manner.
 
  •  Legislation has been enacted by some foreign governments and several U.S. states to prohibit or restrict the sending of ‘unsolicited commercial email’ and similar U.S. federal legislation has been proposed several times in recent years. Although our email delivery is consent-based, it is possible that existing or future legislation in some jurisdictions may require us to change our current practices or may subject us to increased liabilities.
 
  •  The impending expiration of a provision of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, or FCRA, may lead to a wave of new restrictions on the collection, use and disclosure of information about consumers. The FCRA currently prohibits U.S. states and localities from enacting new laws affecting certain uses and disclosures of consumer information. This provision is presently set to expire on January 1, 2004. If the provision is not extended, state and local governments may be permitted to enact new restrictions that could increase the costs of marketing and offering credit to consumers. Such restrictions could depress advertising spending, the overall demand for our products and services and could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, in particular the DoubleClick Data business.

      Any legislation enacted or regulation issued could dampen the growth and acceptance of our industry in general and of our offerings in particular. Our business could be negatively impacted by new laws or

20


 

regulations applicable to direct marketing or the Internet, the application of existing laws and regulations to direct marketing or the Internet or the application of new laws and regulations to our business. In response to evolving legal requirements, we may be compelled to change or discontinue an existing offering, business or business model, or to cancel a proposed offering or new business. Any of these circumstances could have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. These changes could also require us to incur significant expenses, and we may not find ourselves able to replace the revenue lost as a consequence of the changes.

      We are a member of the Network Advertising Initiative and the Direct Marketing Association, both industry self-regulatory organizations. We cannot assure you that these organizations or similar organizations will not adopt additional, more burdensome guidelines, compliance with which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 
OUR BUSINESS MAY SUFFER IF THE WEB INFRASTRUCTURE IS UNABLE TO EFFECTIVELY SUPPORT THE GROWTH IN DEMAND PLACED ON US.

      Our success will depend, in large part, upon the maintenance of the Web infrastructure, such as a reliable network backbone with the necessary speed, data capacity and security and timely development of enabling products, such as high speed modems, for providing reliable Web access and services and improved content. We cannot assure you that the Web infrastructure will continue to effectively support the demands placed on us as the Web continues to experience increased numbers of users, frequency of use or increased bandwidth requirements of users. Even if the necessary infrastructure or technologies are developed, we may have to spend considerable amounts to adapt our products and services accordingly. Furthermore, the Web has experienced a variety of outages and other delays due to damage to portions of its infrastructure. These outages and delays could impact the direct marketers, Web publishers and advertisers using our products and services.

 
DOUBLECLICK DATA IS DEPENDENT ON THE SUCCESS OF THE DIRECT MARKETING INDUSTRY FOR OUR FUTURE SUCCESS.

      The future success of DoubleClick Data is dependent in large part on the continued demand for our services from the direct marketing industry, including the catalog industry, as well as the continued willingness of catalog operators to contribute their data to us. Most of our Abacus customers are large consumer merchandise catalog operators in the United States, with a growing number of operators in the United Kingdom. A significant downturn in the direct marketing industry generally, including the catalog industry, or withdrawal by a substantial number of catalog operators from the Abacus Alliance, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If email marketing or electronic commerce, including the purchase of merchandise and the exchange of information via the Internet or other media, increases significantly in the future, companies that now rely on catalogs or other direct marketing avenues to market their products may reallocate resources toward these new direct marketing channels and away from catalog-related marketing or other direct marketing avenues, which could adversely affect demand for some DoubleClick Data services. In addition, the effectiveness of direct mail as a marketing tool may decrease as a result of consumer saturation and increased consumer resistance to direct mail in general.

 
INCREASES IN POSTAL RATES AND PAPER PRICES COULD HARM DOUBLECLICK DATA.

      The direct marketing activities of our Abacus Alliance customers are adversely affected by postal rate increases, especially increases that are imposed without sufficient advance notice to allow adjustments to be made to marketing budgets. Higher postal rates may result in fewer mailings of direct marketing materials, with a corresponding decline in the need for some of the direct marketing services offered by us. Increased postal rates can also lead to pressure from our customers to reduce our prices for our services in order to offset any postal rate increase. Higher paper prices may also cause catalog companies to conduct fewer or smaller mailings which could cause a corresponding decline in the need for our products and services. Our customers may aggressively seek price reductions for our products and services to offset any increased materials cost. Any

21


 

of these occurrences could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the DoubleClick Data business
 
Item 2.     Properties

      Our principal executive offices, from which each of our business units operate, are currently located in a leased facility in New York, New York. We lease office space in Broomfield, Colorado, which was the headquarters for Abacus before our merger and is now primarily used by DoubleClick Data, and in San Francisco, California, which is primarily used for sales and marketing of our TechSolutions products and services. We also lease office space in Louisville, Colorado, which was the headquarters of MessageMedia, Inc. before our merger.

      We own property in Thornton, Colorado consisting of approximately 115,000 square feet, which is primarily used by our DoubleClick TechSolutions and DoubleClick Data business units and serves as our primary data center.

      A summary of our significant leased office facilities is as follows:

                 
Approximate Number Expiration
Location of Square Feet Leased(1) of Lease



New York, New York (headquarters)
    360,000       January 2015  
Broomfield, Colorado
    105,000       April 2006  
San Francisco, California
    115,000       April 2012  
Louisville, Colorado
    75,000       October  2010  


(1)  We currently occupy approximately 100,000 square feet of our New York facility, approximately 6,000 square feet of our San Francisco facility and most of the Broomfield facility. We do not occupy the Louisville facility. We are currently pursuing several options with respect to unused space in our New York facility, our San Francisco facility and our Louisville facility, including subletting all or a portion of the vacant space in the facilities. The remaining obligations under the New York, San Francisco and Louisville leases are approximately $150 million, $50 million and $14 million, respectively. We believe that our lease for the San Francisco facility covers approximately 90,000 square feet, or about 25,000 square feet less than what the landlord believes, and we are currently disputing this with the landlord. If we are correct, our remaining obligations for the San Francisco facility would be significantly reduced.

      We are subject to a lease for approximately 60,000 square feet of office space in London, England, which expires in September 2011. Our DoubleClick TechSolutions and DoubleClick Media business units used a portion of this space until we fully vacated the space during 2002. This office space is currently being sublet for a portion of the remaining lease term and we are pursuing several options for reducing any future liabilities associated with this space. We cannot assure you that we will not incur additional expenses relating to this facility.

      Periodically, we evaluate the expenses likely to be incurred for our facilities, and where appropriate, have taken restructuring charges with respect to these expenses. We cannot assure you that there will not be additional restructuring charges recognized with respect to our excess or idle facilities

      We also lease space for our domestic branch offices throughout the United States and for our international offices throughout Europe, Asia and Australia. We are continually evaluating our facilities requirements.

Item 3.     Legal Proceedings

      In April 2002, a consolidated amended class action complaint alleging violations of the federal securities laws was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York naming us and certain of our officers and directors and certain underwriters of our follow-on offerings as defendants. We and some of our officers and directors are named in the suit pursuant to Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on the basis of the alleged failure to disclose the

22


 

underwriters’ alleged compensation and manipulative practices. This action seeks, among other things, unspecified damages and costs, including attorneys’ fees. In October 2002, the action was dismissed against our officers and directors without prejudice. However, claims against us remain. In July 2002, we and the other issuers in the consolidated cases filed motions to dismiss the amended complaint for failure to state a claim, which was denied as to us in February 2003. We believe that the claims asserted by these lawsuits are without merit, and intend to defend these actions vigorously. However, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation. An unfavorable outcome in litigation could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 4.     Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

      No matter was submitted to a vote of our security holders during the fourth quarter of 2002.

      In the fourth quarter of 2002, DoubleClick recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $65.8 million. This charge was primarily related to a decrease in estimated sublease income associated with our New York facility. (See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) In addition, DoubleClick recognized a gain of approximately $7.9 million from the sale of certain investments in affiliates. These investments included DoubleClick Japan and ValueClick. (See Notes 3 and 6, respectively to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

      In the third quarter of 2002, DoubleClick recorded an impairment charge of approximately $43.8 million relating to the impairment of goodwill associated with its email reporting unit. (See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) Also in the third quarter of 2002, DoubleClick recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $23.8 million primarily relating to the abandonment of additional space at our New York facility (See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) In addition, DoubleClick recorded impairment charges of approximately $14.1 million relating to certain investments in affiliates based on a decline in market value that was considered to be other than temporary. (See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) In July 2002, DoubleClick sold its North American Media business to MaxWorldwide and recognized a gain of $8.1 million. (See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) In addition, DoubleClick repurchased $64.9 million of its outstanding 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes for approximately $53.6 million in cash. As a result, DoubleClick recognized a gain of approximately $11.9. (See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

      In the second quarter of 2002, DoubleClick recognized a gain of approximately $12.3 million on the sale of its @plan research product line. (See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) In addition, DoubleClick recorded a restructuring charge of $7.3 million primarily relating to office consolidations and closures. (See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

      In the fourth quarter of 2001, DoubleClick recorded a restructuring charge of $48.2 million. These events included the involuntary terminations of approximately 190 employees, primarily from DoubleClick’s TechSolutions and Media operations, as well as the consolidation of its leased office space in San Francisco. (See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) Also in the fourth quarter of 2001, in connection with DoubleClick’s agreement with AdLINK, management determined that the sale of its European Media operations would generate a loss. Accordingly, DoubleClick recorded a charge of approximately $8.8 million, which represents the difference between the consideration to be paid and the net assets to be sold. (See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) In addition, DoubleClick repurchased $10.0 million of its outstanding 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes for approximately $8.3 million in cash, and as a result, recognized a gain of approximately $1.8 million. (See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

      In the third quarter of 2001, DoubleClick recorded an impairment charge of approximately $63.3 million equal to the difference between its investments in @plan and Flashbase and the estimated fair value of these businesses. (See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) Also in the third quarter, DoubleClick wrote down its investment in ValueClick and recognized an impairment charge of approximately $11.7 million, which represented the difference between DoubleClick’s carrying value and the estimated fair value of its investment in ValueClick. (See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) In addition, DoubleClick repurchased $20.3 million of its outstanding 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes for approximately $13.6 million in cash. As a result, DoubleClick recognized a gain of approximately $6.4 million. (See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) DoubleClick recorded restructuring provisions totaling $5.3 mil-

25


 

lion in the third quarter of 2001. These measures included the involuntary terminations of approximately 170 employees, primarily from DoubleClick’s TechSolutions division. This charge included severance costs associated with this additional work force reduction and future lease costs. (See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

      In the second quarter of 2001, DoubleClick recognized expense of approximately $10.5 million due to issuance of additional shares of common stock to the former shareholders of DoubleClick Scandinavia based upon their continued employment and the attainment of specific revenue objectives following the company’s merger with DoubleClick in December 1999. (See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) In April 2001, DoubleClick recognized a gain of approximately $7.2 million from the initial public offering of our consolidated subsidiary, DoubleClick Japan. (See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

      In the first quarter of 2001, DoubleClick recorded restructuring provisions of approximately $29.0 million. These measures included the involuntary terminations of approximately 230 employees, primarily from DoubleClick’s media operations. This charge included severance costs associated with this work force reduction, accruals of future lease costs and the write-off of fixed assets. (See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Item 7.      Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

DOUBLECLICK INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

      DoubleClick provides marketing technology and data products and services that direct marketers, Web publishers and advertisers use to optimize their marketing programs and efficiently reach their customers. These technologies have become leading tools for online advertising, email delivery, offline database marketing, campaign management and marketing analytics. Our products and services are designed to improve the performance and simplify the complexities of marketing.

      In 2002, we derived our revenues from three business segments:

  •  DoubleClick Technology Solutions (“Technology” or “TechSolutions”);
 
  •  DoubleClick Data (“Data”); and
 
  •  DoubleClick Media (“Media”).

      DoubleClick TechSolutions. DoubleClick TechSolutions includes our ad management products and services, advertiser products, email technology products and campaign management and analytics products and services. Our ad management products enable Web sites to generate advertising revenue with a choice of our DART for Publishers Service, a Web-based application, and DART Enterprise, our licensed ad serving software product. Our advertiser products include DART for Advertisers, a Web hosted advertising management and serving solution that helps marketers reach their online goals efficiently and effectively, and MediaVisor, a hosted, Web-based media planning, buying and campaign management workflow solution.

      Our suite of email technology products include both the DARTmail Service which is a Web-based application, and Unitymail, a licensed software product. These products and services allow direct markets and Web publishers to manage and deliver their email marketing campaigns. With the acquisition of Protagona plc in November 2002, we now offer DoubleClick Ensemble, a campaign management software product and other related products and services. We also introduced SiteAdvance, a hosted Web site measurement and analysis solution that was designed specifically for online merchants.

      DoubleClick Data. DoubleClick Data consists of our Abacus division, which provides products and services to direct marketers. DoubleClick Data maintains the Abacus Alliance database, which is the largest proprietary database of consumer transactions used for target marketing purposes. Abacus combines the power of this shared data with advanced statistical modeling to help Alliance participants improve profitability and increase market share. Abacus’ key products and services include prospecting, housefile modeling and direct mail list optimization. DoubleClick also maintains an Alliance database in the United Kingdom. In addition, DoubleClick Data offers a Business-to-Business Alliance and ChannelView, an analytics tool that tracks multi-channel sales so marketers can effectively measure their promotion and campaign results.

      DoubleClick Media. During 2002, through a series of transactions, we divested the DoubleClick Media business and will no longer report a DoubleClick Media segment in the future. Prior to the divestitures, DoubleClick offered direct marketers, Web publishers and advertisers a broad range of media buying solutions to provide them with opportunities to generate revenue. DoubleClick Media offered outsourced ad sales products to direct marketers to enable them to build brand awareness and sell their products and services to consumers. The DoubleClick network, which was a collection of highly trafficked and branded Web sites, was the core infrastructure from which our media products and services were derived.

Critical Accounting Policies

      DoubleClick’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon DoubleClick’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires DoubleClick to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions, which are believed to be reasonable, based on the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. A variance in the estimates or assumptions used could yield a materially different accounting result. Described below are the areas where we believe that the estimates, judgments or assumptions that we have made, if different, would have yielded the most significant differences in our financial statements.

Restructuring estimates

      DoubleClick’s restructuring reserves are primarily related to our facilities in New York and San Francisco. In determining the restructuring charge associated with our future lease commitments, DoubleClick engaged a third party real estate firm to provide it with estimates of the future sublease income for its excess and idle space, which also includes an estimate of the time period required to identify sublessees. This analysis was performed based on the current real estate market conditions in the local markets where DoubleClick’s facilities are located. This real estate firm also provided estimates of lease termination/ buyout fees landlords may charge to terminate existing leases rather than subleasing idle and excess space. DoubleClick’s restructuring charge relating to future lease commitments is based on its review of this information. Should market conditions change, this information may be updated and additional charges may be required.

Advertiser credits and bad debt

      DoubleClick records reductions to revenue for the estimated future credits issuable to its customers in the event that delivered advertisements do not meet contractual specifications. DoubleClick follows this method since reasonably dependable estimates of such credits can be made based on historical experience. Should the actual amount of customer credits differ from DoubleClick’s estimates, revisions to the associated allowance may be required. DoubleClick maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of DoubleClick’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required in subsequent periods.

Valuation of investments, intangible assets, and goodwill

      DoubleClick invests in companies, technologies and intangible assets in areas within its strategic focus, some of which have highly volatile fair values and uncertain profit potentials. DoubleClick evaluates its investments for impairment on a periodic basis and reduces the carrying values of such assets to their estimated fair value when it believes an investment has experienced a decline in value that is other than temporary. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of strategic investments could indicate an inability to recover the carrying value of the investments may not be reflected in an investment’s current carrying value, thereby possibly requiring impairment charges in the future.

      When it is determined that the carrying value of investments may not be recoverable, management measures impairment based on projected discounted cash flows, revenue projections, recent transactions involving similar businesses and price/ revenue multiples at which they were bought and sold, price/ revenue multiples of competitors, and the closing market price for investments that are publicly traded.

Deferred tax assets

      Pursuant to SFAS 109, DoubleClick records a valuation allowance to the extent its deferred tax assets are not more likely than not to be realized. For the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, DoubleClick has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets since management believes that after

28


 

considering all the available objective evidence, both positive and negative, historical and prospective, with greater weight given to historical evidence, it is not more likely that not that these assets will be realized. In the event that DoubleClick were to determine that it would be able to realize some or all of its deferred tax assets, an adjustment to the net deferred tax asset would increase income and/or adjust additional paid-in capital in the period such determination was made.

Property and equipment

      Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated life of the asset or the lease term. DoubleClick periodically reviews the useful lives of its assets for appropriateness. In the event that it is determined that the estimated useful life of its assets needs to be adjusted to reflect depreciation expense over the remaining time that the assets are expected to be remain in service, future income or losses will be impacted in the subsequent periods after such a determination is made.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

      In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections” (“SFAS No. 145”).” SFAS No. 145, among other things, rescinds SFAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt to be classified as an extraordinary item and amends SFAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002 but earlier adoption is encouraged. DoubleClick has repurchased and may in the future continue to repurchase all or a portion of its outstanding Convertible Subordinated Notes. DoubleClick adopted SFAS No. 145 effective July 1, 2002 and will no longer record gains or losses from the retirement of its Convertible Subordinated Notes as extraordinary items, net of taxes but as a component of other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As required under SFAS No. 145, prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

      In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”, (“SFAS No. 146”). SFAS No. 146 nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring”, (EITF 94-3). The principal difference between SFAS No. 146 and EITF 94-3 relates to the recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability be recognized for those costs only when the liability is incurred, that is, when it meets the definition of a liability in the FASB’s conceptual framework. In contrast, EITF 94-3 required recognition of a liability for an exit cost when management committed to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes fair value as the objective for initial measurement of liabilities related to exit or disposal activities. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 and has no effect on exit or disposal activities begun prior to this date.

      In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure.” This Statement amends SFAS No. 123, “Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The disclosure provisions of this Statement are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and have been incorporated into these financial statements and accompanying footnotes.

Business Transactions

Acquisitions

MessageMedia

      On January 18, 2002, DoubleClick completed its acquisition of MessageMedia, Inc. (“MessageMedia”), a provider of permission-based, email marketing and messaging solutions. The acquisition of MessageMedia has allowed DoubleClick to expand its suite of email product and service offerings as well as broaden its client base. DoubleClick acquired all the outstanding shares, options and warrants of MessageMedia in exchange for approximately one million shares of DoubleClick common stock valued at approximately $7.5 million, and stock options and warrants to acquire DoubleClick common stock valued at approximately $0.2 million. In connection with the acquisition, DoubleClick loaned $2.0 million to MessageMedia to satisfy MessageMedia’s operating requirements. The loan was extinguished upon the closing of the acquisition and included as a component of the purchase price. The purchase price, inclusive of approximately $1.6 million of direct acquisition costs, was approximately $11.3 million. The MessageMedia options and warrants assumed by DoubleClick as the result of this merger converted into options and warrants to acquire approximately 120,000 shares of DoubleClick common stock. Approximately $1.9 million of the purchase price has been allocated to customer lists and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over two years. DoubleClick recorded approximately $28.5 million in goodwill, which represented the remainder of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. This goodwill is not tax deductible and, in accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill will be and has been periodically tested for impairment.

Abacus Direct Europe

      On June 26, 2002, DoubleClick acquired the remaining 50% of the Abacus Direct Europe (“Abacus Direct Europe”) joint venture that it did not previously own from VNU Marketing Information Europe & Asia B.V, an affiliate of Claritas (UK) Limited. The joint venture was formed in November 1998 and provides database-marketing services to the direct marketing industry, primarily in the United Kingdom. DoubleClick’s investment in the joint venture was previously accounted for under the equity method of accounting. DoubleClick acquired all the outstanding shares of Abacus Direct Europe held by VNU in exchange for approximately $3.7 million in cash and direct acquisition costs. Approximately $4.6 million of the purchase price has been allocated to customer lists, the Abacus U.K. Alliance and customer database. These intangibles are being amortized on a straight-line basis over two to five years based on each intangibles estimated useful life.

Protagona

      On November 4, 2002, DoubleClick completed its acquisition of Protagona plc (“Protagona”), a campaign management software company based in the United Kingdom. In the transaction, DoubleClick acquired all the outstanding shares of Protagona in exchange for approximately $13.6 million in cash. On the basis of estimated fair values, approximately $2.5 million of the purchase price has been allocated to acquired technology and $0.3 million to customer lists. These amounts are being amortized on a straight-line basis over three and two years, respectively.

Divestures

European Media Business

      On January 28, 2002, DoubleClick completed the sale of its European Media business to AdLINK Internet Media AG (“AdLINK”), a German provider of Internet advertising solutions, in exchange for $26.3 million and the assumption by AdLINK of liabilities associated with DoubleClick’s European Media business. Intercompany liabilities in an amount equal to $4.3 million were settled through a cash payment by AdLINK to DoubleClick at the closing of the transaction. Following the closing of the transaction described above, United Internet AG (“United Internet”) AdLINK’s largest shareholder, exercised its right to sell to DoubleClick 15% of the outstanding common shares of AdLINK in exchange for $30.6 million. Pursuant to

30


 

its agreement with United Internet, the exercise of this right caused DoubleClick’s option to acquire an additional 21% of AdLINK common shares from United Internet to vest. This option is only exercisable over a two-year period if AdLINK has achieved EBITDA-positive results for two out of three consecutive fiscal quarters before December 2003. EBITDA, as defined in the option agreement, is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and one-time charges such as restructuring costs, mergers and acquisition related costs, and other extraordinary items, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Should AdLINK fail to achieve these results, the option will expire unexerciseable in December 2003. AdLINK achieved EBITDA-positive results in the fourth quarter of 2002.

      As the result of the transactions described above, DoubleClick sold its European Media business and received a 15% interest in AdLINK, which represented approximately 3.9 million shares valued at approximately $8.3 million. DoubleClick’s option to acquire an additional 21% of the outstanding common shares of AdLINK from United Internet also vested. DoubleClick was partially reimbursed $2.0 million for its cash outlays related to the acquisitions of, and payments with respect to, the minority interests in certain of its European subsidiaries pursuant to its agreement to sell its European Media business. As a result of this transaction, DoubleClick recognized a loss of approximately $1.7 million, which has been included in “Gain on Sale of Businesses, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

North America Media Business

      On July 10, 2002, DoubleClick sold its North American Media business to L90, Inc. Upon completion of the transaction, L90, Inc. was renamed MaxWorldwide, Inc. (“MaxWorldwide”). In exchange for the North American Media business, DoubleClick received 4.8 million shares in MaxWorldwide and $5 million in cash. The 4.8 million shares represented 16.1% of outstanding MaxWorldwide common stock and were valued at approximately $3.1 million. DoubleClick may also receive an additional $6 million if, during the three-year period subsequent to consummation of the transaction, MaxWorldwide has achieved EBITDA-positive results, for two out of three consecutive quarters. EBITDA, as defined in the merger agreement, is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding certain non-recurring items. As a result of this transaction, DoubleClick recognized a gain of $8.1 million during the third quarter of 2002, which has been included in “Gain on sale of businesses, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

@plan

      On May 6, 2002, DoubleClick sold its @plan research product line to NetRatings, Inc.(“NetRatings”), a provider of technology-driven Internet audience information solutions for media and commerce, in exchange for $12.0 million in cash and 505,739 shares of NetRatings common stock valued at approximately $6.1 million. DoubleClick recognized a gain of $12.3 million on the sale of the @plan research product line, which has been included in “Gain on sale of businesses, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

DoubleClick Japan

      On December 26, 2002, DoubleClick sold 45,049 shares of common stock in DoubleClick Japan, reducing its ownership interest to 15.6%. DoubleClick received proceeds of $14.3 million and recognized a gain of $3.1 million, which has been included in “Gain on sale of investments in affiliates” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of this transaction, DoubleClick will account for its remaining 31,271 shares in DoubleClick Japan under the equity method of accounting. DoubleClick will also retain one seat on DoubleClick Japan’s board of directors.

2002 Compared to 2001

      2002 revenues and gross profits decreased from 2001 primarily as the result of the decline in overall online advertising spending and our divestiture of certain businesses, offset by growth in our email delivery and Abacus businesses. In response to the continued deterioration of general economic conditions, many companies, have significantly scaled back their advertising and marketing budgets, which has had a correspondingly negative impact on aggregate online advertising spending. Operating expenses decreased to $341.2 million from $511.7 million in 2001, and included $12.4 million in amortization of intangibles, $47.1 million in goodwill and other impairments and $94.0 million in restructuring charges in 2002. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001 included $43.5 million in amortization of goodwill, $8.7 million in amortization of intangibles, $72.1 million in goodwill and other impairments, $15.5 million in non-cash compensation charges, and $84.2 million in restructuring charges. Net loss including these charges was $117.9 million in 2002 as compared to $265.8 in 2001. We expect operating expenses to decline both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue in future periods due to the implementation of cost savings initiatives.

DoubleClick TechSolutions

      DoubleClick TechSolutions revenue is derived primarily from the sales of our ad management products, consisting of the DART for Publishers Service, the DART Enterprise ad serving software product, the DART for Advertisers Service, and a suite of email products based on DoubleClick’s DARTmail Service. TechSolutions cost of revenue includes costs associated with the delivery of advertisements and emails, including Internet access costs, depreciation of the ad and email delivery systems, the amortization of purchased technology, and facility- and personnel-related costs incurred to operate and support our ad management and email products.

      TechSolutions revenue decreased 9.6% to $187.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $207.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The reduction in TechSolutions revenue reflected in large part the decline in overall online advertising spending. The decline in advertising spending has also intensified pricing competition. These two trends have had a pronounced effect on our TechSolutions business.

      On a product basis, the decrease in TechSolutions revenue was primarily attributable to declines in our ad management products, offset by revenue growth in our DARTmail product offerings. Ad management revenue decreased 19.7% to $147.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $183.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. As a result of the trends noted above, the effective price for our ad management products decreased approximately 9% while volume dropped approximately 12%. Nearly 50% of this volume decline was associated with the divestiture of DoubleClick Media in July 2002. DARTmail revenue increased 90.6% to $39.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $20.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. This growth was primarily associated with our acquisitions of FloNetwork and MessageMedia.

32


 

      DoubleClick TechSolutions gross margin was 62.7% for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 63.9% for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to the restructuring charge relating to the write-off of certain fixed assets associated with the move of our data center from New York to Colorado, an increase in personnel and the amortization of purchased technology, both resulting from our acquisitions of FloNetwork and MessageMedia, offset by a reduction in depreciation expense and Internet access costs. The reduction of depreciation expense resulted from our extension of the useful life of our ad delivery hardware and software from three to four years to recognize depreciation expense over the remaining time that the assets will be in service. The decline in Internet access costs was due to the renegotiation of many of our contracts with our Internet service providers.

      As a result of the continuing decline in online advertising spending among our customers as well as pricing competition, we anticipate slight decreases in both the absolute dollar amount of TechSolutions revenues and gross profit during the year ended December 31, 2003. We believe that our TechSolutions business is tied to the relative health of the economy. Significant changes within the economy may materially impact these results.

DoubleClick Data

      DoubleClick Data revenue has historically been derived primarily from its Abacus division, which provides products and services such as prospecting, housefile modeling and list optimization to direct marketers and merchants in the Abacus member alliances. Following the acquisition of @plan.inc in February 2001, we created a separate research division within DoubleClick Data designed to offer market research analysis tools that provide advertisers, brand marketers and e-businesses with analyses of online advertising campaigns, consumer behavior and purchasing patterns. Research revenue was derived primarily from the sale of annual subscriptions to its market research systems. DoubleClick Data cost of revenue includes expenses associated with maintaining and updating the Abacus and Research databases, the technical infrastructure to produce our products and services, facility and personnel related expenses to operate and support our production equipment, the amortization of purchased intangible assets, and subscriptions to third party providers of lifestyle and demographic data that is used to supplement our transactions based database.

      On May 6, 2002, DoubleClick sold its @plan research product line to NetRatings, Inc., a provider of technology-driven Internet audience information solutions for media and commerce, in exchange for $12.0 million in cash and 505,739 shares of NetRatings common stock, valued at approximately $6.1 million. Revenue and gross profits recognized by the @plan research product line were approximately $3.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $9.9 million and $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.

      On June 26, 2002, DoubleClick acquired the remaining 50% of the Abacus Direct Europe B.V. joint venture that it did not previously own from VNU Marketing Information Europe & Asia B.V., an affiliate of Claritas (UK) Limited. The joint venture was formed in November 1998 and provides database-marketing services to the direct marketing catalog industry, primarily in the United Kingdom. The results of operations for Abacus Direct Europe have been included in DoubleClick’s Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition. Revenues and gross profits recognized for Abacus Direct Europe were approximately $4.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2002. Revenues for Abacus Direct Europe were primarily related to prospecting services provided to Abacus Alliance members in the United Kingdom.

      DoubleClick Data revenue increased 2.5% to $83.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $81.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Gross margin increased to 71.7% for the year ended December 31, 2002 from 67.4% for the year ended December 31, 2001.

      Overall, DoubleClick Data revenue represents an increase in revenues generated from the Abacus US business of $4.6 million and revenues generated from Abacus Direct Europe of $4.2 million, offset by the impact of the sale of the @plan research product line in May 2002. The growth in revenues from the

33


 

Abacus US business related primarily to increases in prospecting and housefile modeling services provided to Abacus Alliance and Business-to-Business Alliance members as direct marketers began to focus on client acquisition towards the later half of 2002.

      The increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to an increase in sales, the reduction in depreciation expense on production equipment and the divestiture of the lower margin @plan business, offset by the amortization of purchased intangible assets associated with Abacus Direct Europe. The reduction of depreciation expense resulted from our extension of the useful life of our ad delivery hardware and software from three to four years to recognize depreciation expense over the remaining time that the assets will be in services.

      We anticipate revenue and gross profit of DoubleClick Data to increase in 2003 as a result of our acquisition of Abacus Direct Europe, continued growth in our Abacus Alliance and Business-to-Business Alliance, and the expected expansion into additional international territories.

DoubleClick Media

      DoubleClick Media revenue is derived primarily from the sale and delivery of advertising impressions through third-party Web sites comprising the DoubleClick Media network. DoubleClick Media cost of revenue consists primarily of service fees paid to Web publishers for impressions delivered on our network, and the costs of ad delivery and technology support provided by DoubleClick TechSolutions.

      Revenue for DoubleClick Media decreased 74.7% to $32.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $129.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in DoubleClick Media revenue primarily resulted from the sale of DoubleClick’s European and North American Media businesses. On January 28, 2002, DoubleClick completed the sale of the European Media business to AdLINK. On July 10, 2002, DoubleClick completed the sale of the North American Media business to L90, which was renamed MaxWorldwide. For the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, revenues derived by the European Media business were $1.1 million and $29.0 million, respectively. Revenue recognized by the North American Media business was approximately $20.8 million and $85.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. On December 26, 2002, DoubleClick sold 45,049 shares of common stock in DoubleClick Japan and reduced its ownership interest to 15.6%. As a result of this transaction, DoubleClick will account for its remaining 31,271 shares in DoubleClick Japan under the equity method of accounting and will no longer consolidate its results of operations. Revenue recognized by the DoubleClick Japan Media business was approximately $10.8 million and $14.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

      DoubleClick Media revenue also decreased due to decline in overall online advertising spending and the departure of the AltaVista Web site from the DoubleClick network. DoubleClick Media revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001 included approximately $8.8 million, or 6.8% of DoubleClick Media revenue, for advertising impressions delivered to users of the AltaVista Web site. No such revenue was recognized in DoubleClick Media’s results during the year ended December 31, 2002.

      DoubleClick Media’s gross margin was 29.6% for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 31.9% for the year ended December 31, 2001. Gross margin decreased due to increased levels of price competition and increases in the amount of unsold inventory, which diluted the effective price of delivered advertising impressions. This decrease was partially offset by lower average site fees remitted to Web publishers and a reduction in the cost of technology support provided by DoubleClick TechSolutions.

      Gross profits recognized by the European, North American and DoubleClick Japan Media businesses were approximately $0.4 million, $7.4 million and $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Gross profits recognized by the European, North American and DoubleClick Japan Media businesses were approximately $11.7 million, $26.5 million and $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.

      As a result of the transactions discussed above, DoubleClick has fully divested its Media operations and will not report a DoubleClick Media segment in the future.

Operating Expenses

Sales and marketing

      Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and related benefits, sales commissions, general marketing costs, advertising, bad debt expense and other operating expenses associated with the sales and marketing departments. Sales and marketing expenses were $101.5 million or 33.8% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002, and $182.8 million or 45.1% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001. The $81.3 million decrease in sales and marketing expense was primarily attributable to reductions in personnel-related costs of $32.6 million, the elimination of non-cash compensation paid to former shareholders of DoubleClick Scandinavia of $15.2 million, a decline in marketing expenditures of $9.8 million, as well as reductions in rent and utilities of $7.3 million, travel and entertainment expenses of $4.4 million, and bad debt expense of $4.2 million. These decreases are commensurate with the decline in our revenues, headcount reductions associated with our restructuring activities, and other cost savings initiatives. We expect the absolute dollar amount of sales and marketing expenses to decrease slightly, but to increase as a percentage of revenues in 2003 due to anticipated lower revenues.

General and administrative

      General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and related benefits, professional services, and other operating expenses associated with our executive, finance, human resources, legal, facilities, and administrative departments. General and administrative expenses were $46.4 million or 15.5% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002, and $65.7 million or 16.2% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001. The $19.3 million decrease in general and administrative expense was primarily the result of overall reductions in professional services fees of $8.9 million, personnel-related costs of $6.3 million, and rent and utilities of $1.8 million. Decreased professional services fees resulted in part from a reduction in legal fees as well as a reduction in consulting fees associated with tighter cost controls in place. Personnel-related costs declined as the result of headcount reductions associated with our restructuring activities. The reduction in rent and utilities was also the result of headcount reductions as well as office closures and consolidations. We expect the absolute dollar amount of general and administrative expenses to decrease significantly as a result of corporate headcount reductions but to only decrease slightly as a percentage of revenues in 2003 due to anticipated lower revenues.

Product development

      Product development expenses consist primarily of compensation and related benefits, consulting fees and other operating expenses associated with the product development departments. The product development departments perform research and development, enhance and maintain existing products, and provide quality assurance. Product development expenses were $39.8 million or 13.3% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002, and $53.4 million or 13.2% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001. The $13.7 million decrease in product development expenses were primarily the result of reductions personnel-related costs of $9.1 million, professional fees of $2.4 million, and rent and utilities of $2.1 million. Personnel-related costs declined as the result of headcount reductions associated with our restructuring activities. The decrease in professional fees was associated with the implementation of tighter cost controls. Rent and utilities declined as a result of headcount reductions as well as office closures and consolidations. Although we will continue to concentrate on the efficient allocation of our resources, we believe that on-going investment in product development is critical to the attainment of our strategic objectives. We expect the absolute dollar amount of product development expenses to decrease slightly, but to increase as a percentage of revenues in 2003 due to anticipated lower revenues.

Amortization of goodwill

      In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer amortized as of January 1, 2002 but is periodically tested for impairment. Goodwill amortization was approximately $43.5 million for the year ended Decem-

35


 

ber 31, 2001 related to the acquisitions of @plan, Flashbase, FloNetwork Inc., DoubleClick Scandinavia, and DoubleClick Japan.

Amortization of other intangibles

      Amortization of intangible assets consists primarily of the amortization of customer lists and patents. Amortization expense was $12.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase was primarily the result of the amortization of customer lists acquired in the business combinations of MessageMedia and Abacus Direct Europe.

Goodwill and other impairments

      Goodwill and other impairments was $47.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $72.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. For the year ended December 31, 2002, based upon the prolonged softness in the economy and the current and projected operational performance of DoubleClick’s email reporting unit, DoubleClick initiated a third-party valuation of its email reporting unit to determine whether the recorded balance of goodwill related to this reporting unit was recoverable. The outcome of this valuation resulted in an impairment charge of approximately $43.8 million being recorded during the year. The fair market value of the email reporting unit was determined based on cash flow projections, recent transactions involving similar businesses and price/ revenue multiples at which they were bought and sold, and price/ revenue multiples of our competitors in the email marketplace. In addition, DoubleClick also determined that the fair value of certain intangibles assets were considered impaired. DoubleClick recorded an impairment charge of $3.3 million based on the difference between the carrying value and estimated fair value of certain intangible assets associated with the email reporting unit.

      For the year ended December 31, 2001, the persistence of unfavorable economic conditions led DoubleClick management to undertake a review of the recoverability of certain of its investments. As a result of significantly lower-than-expected revenues generated to date and considerably reduced estimates of future performance, management concluded that its investments in @plan.inc (“@plan”) and Flashbase, Inc. (“Flashbase”) were impaired. Accordingly, DoubleClick recognized an approximately $63.3 million impairment charge equal to the difference between its investments in and the estimated fair value of these businesses in the third quarter of 2001. Of this amount, approximately $53.3 million related to @plan and $10.0 million related to Flashbase.

      The amount of the goodwill impairment was calculated based on discounted analyses of these entities’ expected future cash flows, which were no longer deemed adequate, to support the value of the goodwill associated with these investments. In both cases, sharply-reduced estimates of anticipated revenue growth and operating results, triggered primarily by the continued softness in aggregate online advertising spending, generated correspondingly lowered expectations of future cash flows and formed the basis for the recording of the charge in the third quarter of 2001.

      These businesses expected future cash flows and terminal values are based on management’s budgeted forecasts and estimates. In its calculation to determine the impairment charge for its investment in @plan, DoubleClick used a discount rate of 15% and assumed a remaining useful life of 2.5 years, which represented the remaining useful life of the goodwill associated with this investment. In its calculation to determine the impairment charge for Flashbase, DoubleClick used a discount rate of 15% and a useful life of 1.75 years, which represented the remaining useful life of the goodwill associated with this investment.

      In addition, in connection with DoubleClick’s decision to sell its European Media operations, management determined that the estimated fair value of the consideration it would receive pursuant to the sale agreement would be less than the carrying value of its European Media operations. Management concluded that its investment in its European Media operations was impaired. As a result, DoubleClick recorded a charge of approximately $8.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2001.

Purchased in-process research and development

      In connection with our acquisition of FloNetwork in April 2001, $1.3 million of the purchase price was allocated to in-process research and development projects and charged to operations as the projects had not reached technological feasibility as of the date of acquisition and were determined to have no alternative future uses. We recognized no such charges during the year ended December 31, 2002.

Restructuring charges

      During the year ended December 31, 2002, management took additional steps to realign its sales, development and administrative organization and reduce corporate overhead to position DoubleClick for profitable growth in the future consistent with management’s long-term objectives. This involved the involuntary termination of approximately 250 employees, primarily from our TechSolutions division, as well as the closure of several offices and charges for excess real estate space. As a consequence, DoubleClick recorded a charge of $98.4 million to operations during the year, of which $94.0 million and $4.4 million have been classified in operating expenses and cost of revenue, respectively. The charge primarily related to payments for severance of approximately $5.7 million, the accrual of future lease costs (net of estimated sublease income and deferred rent liabilities previously accrued) of approximately $77.0 million and the write-off of fixed assets situated in closed or abandoned offices of approximately $15.7 million. The accrual for future lease costs and the write-off of fixed assets were primarily related to our New York office. These charges were driven by the abandonment of additional space, reductions in the estimates of future sublease income, as well as the lengthening of the time required to find a sublease tenant. In addition, management decided to move our data center operations from New York to our Thornton, Colorado facility. As a result, DoubleClick recorded a charge of $4.4 million to cost of revenue relating to the write-off of certain fixed assets.

      DoubleClick expects to eliminate certain operating expenses totaling approximately $21.0 million on an annualized basis, primarily related to personnel- and facility-related expenses, as a result of the restructuring initiatives undertaken during the year ended December 31, 2002. A majority of these reductions are expected to impact sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. DoubleClick expects to begin to recognize the full effect of these cost savings in the third quarter of 2003. Of the remaining $107.1 million in cash outlays relating to our restructuring activities, we estimate that we will pay approximately $36.1 million in 2003, and approximately $11.0 million in 2004 and the years thereafter. We anticipate that these outlays will be funded from available sources of liquidity. However, there can be no assurance that such cost reductions can be sustained or that estimated costs of such actions will not change.

      During the year ended December 31, 2001, our management took certain actions to increase operational efficiencies and bring costs in line with revenues. These measures included the involuntary terminations of approximately 605 employees, primarily from our Media and TechSolutions divisions, as well as the consolidation of some of our leased office space and the closure of several of our offices. As a consequence, we recorded an $84.2 million charge to operations during the year of 2001. This charge included approximately $10.4 million for severance-related payments to terminated employees, approximately $51.7 million for the accrual of future lease costs (net of estimated sublease income and deferred rent liabilities previously recorded), approximately $19.5 million for the write-off of fixed assets situated in office locations that were closed or consolidated, and approximately $2.6 million in other exit costs, which included consulting and professional fees related to the restructuring activities and expenses associated with the decision to move the TechSolutions customer support department from New York to Colorado. These fixed asset impairments arose primarily from the write-off of the carrying values of leasehold improvements in offices in New York, San Francisco and London that were abandoned as part of the restructuring activities.

      DoubleClick is continuing to review its operational performance and may incur additional restructuring charges in 2003, principally related to changes in estimates and assumptions surrounding excess real estate.

Loss from operations

      DoubleClick’s operating loss was $154.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $283.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in its operating loss of $128.6 million is primarily

37


 

attributable to the decrease in our sales and marketing expenses of $81.3 million, the elimination of goodwill amortization of $43.5 million, a decrease in goodwill and other impairments of $25.0 million, a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $19.3 million and a decrease in product development costs of $13.7 million. This was partially offset by a decrease in gross profits of approximately $41.8 million and an increase in amortization of intangibles of approximately $3.7 million. DoubleClick continues to manage its operations with a focus on productivity and manage its headcount accordingly, but due to the general economic and industry trends it may incur future losses from operations.

Equity in losses of affiliates

      Equity in losses of affiliates was $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. For the year ended December 31, 2002, DoubleClick recognized equity income of $0.2 million relating to DoubleClick’s 50% interest in the Abacus Direct Europe joint venture and an equity loss of approximately $0.5 million from our equity investment in MaxWorldwide. Since the June 26, 2002 acquisition of the remaining 50% interest of Abacus Direct Europe that DoubleClick did not previously own, the results of operations of Abacus Direct Europe have been consolidated into DoubleClick’s operations. For the year ended December 31, 2001, DoubleClick’s equity loss was wholly attributed to ValueClick. The decrease in equity in losses of affiliates was primarily the result of our investment in ValueClick being accounted for as a cost method investment during the year ended December 31, 2002. As a result of the cumulative dilutive effects of ValueClick’s issuance of stock in connection with business combinations consummated during 2001, DoubleClick no longer recorded its proportionate share of ValueClick’s results in 2002.

Gain on equity transactions of affiliates, net

      For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recognized a gain of approximately $7.2 million from the initial public offering of our consolidated subsidiary DoubleClick Japan, which was partially offset by a loss of approximately $5.3 million related to the decrease in value of our proportionate share of the net assets of our equity-method investee ValueClick following the consummation of business combinations with ClickAgents.com, Inc., Bach Systems Inc. and Z Media, Inc.

      We recognized no such gains or losses during the year ended December 31, 2002.

Impairment of investments in affiliates

      Impairment of investments in affiliates was $14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $16.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. During the year ended December 31, 2002, DoubleClick determined that the carrying value of certain of its investments, principally its cost-method investments in AdLINK Internet Media AG (“AdLINK”) and NetRatings, Inc. (“NetRatings”) and its equity-method investment in MaxWorldwide, Inc. (“MaxWorldwide”) were impaired based on the continued decline in the fair market value of these investments. As a result, DoubleClick recorded an impairment charge of $11.7 million during the third quarter of 2002, which represented the difference between DoubleClick’s carrying value and the estimated fair value of these investments. The estimated fair values of DoubleClick’s investments in AdLINK, NetRatings and MaxWorldwide were determined based on the closing market price of their stock on September 30, 2002. Additionally, DoubleClick’s cost method investment in the joint venture, DoubleClick Asia, is being liquidated and has no continuing value. As a consequence, DoubleClick wrote-off its entire investment in DoubleClick Asia and recognized an impairment charge of $2.4 million during the third quarter of 2002.

      During the year ended December 31, 2001, as a result of the significant decline in the market value of Internet-based companies and the decreasing declining access of these companies to public and private financing, management performed an assessment of the carrying values of certain of its investments in affiliates in the second quarter of 2001. In the course of its analysis, DoubleClick determined that the carrying value of its cost-method investment in Return Path, Inc. (“Return Path”) was no longer recoverable. As a consequence, DoubleClick wrote off its entire investment in Return Path and recognized an impairment

38


 

charge of $4.5 million during the second quarter of 2001. In addition, DoubleClick determined that the carrying value of its equity method investment in ValueClick was impaired. Consequently, DoubleClick wrote down its investment in ValueClick and recognized an impairment charge of approximately $11.7 million during the third quarter of 2001, which represented the difference between DoubleClick’s carrying value and the estimated fair value of its investment in ValueClick. The estimated fair value of DoubleClick’s investment in ValueClick was determined based on the closing market price of ValueClick stock on September 30, 2001.

Gain on early extinguishment of debt

      For the year ended December 31, 2002, DoubleClick repurchased $64.9 million of its outstanding 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes for approximately $53.6 million in cash, inclusive of $1.2 million of accrued interest payable. DoubleClick wrote off approximately $0.7 million in deferred issuance costs and recognized a gain of approximately $11.9 million as the result of the early retirement of this debt.

      For the year ended December 31, 2001, DoubleClick repurchased $20.3 million of its outstanding 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes for approximately $13.6 million in cash. DoubleClick wrote off approximately $0.3 million in deferred issuance costs and recognized a gain of approximately $6.4 million as the result of the early retirement of this debt.

Gain on sale of investments in affiliates

      DoubleClick’s gain on sale of investments in affiliates was $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The gain was associated with the sale of our investment in ValueClick and partial sales of our ownership interests in DoubleClick Japan and NetRatings. DoubleClick entered into a repurchase agreement with ValueClick whereby ValueClick repurchased all of our remaining 7.9 million shares for $21.3 million or approximately $2.70 per share. DoubleClick recognized a gain of $4.7 million from the sale of the investment. In addition, DoubleClick sold 45,049 shares of common stock in DoubleClick Japan and reduced its ownership interest to 15.6%. DoubleClick received proceeds of $14.3 million and recognized a gain of $3.1 million. Additionally, DoubleClick sold 402,011 shares of NetRatings, Inc. and received proceeds of approximately $2.5 million. DoubleClick recognized an immaterial gain on the sale of this investment.

      We recognized no such gains or losses during the year ended December 31, 2001.

Gain on sale of businesses, net

      DoubleClick’s gain on sale of businesses, net was $17.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The gain primarily consisted of gains on the sale of our North American Media business and @plan research product line of $8.1 million and $12.3 million, respectively, offset by a loss of $1.7 million recognized on sale of our European Media business.

      We recognized no such gains or losses during the year ended December 31, 2001.

Interest and other, net

      Interest and other, net was $15.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $29.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Interest and other, net included $25.7 million of interest income for the year ended December 31, 2002, partially offset by $10.8 million in interest expense. For the year ended December 31, 2001, Interest and other, net included $43.0 million of interest income, partially offset by $12.6 million in interest expense. The decrease in interest income was attributable to the decrease in average investment yields due to declines in interest rates. The decrease in interest expense is directly associated with the repurchase of the Convertible Subordinated Notes during the year. Interest and other, net in future periods may fluctuate in correlation with the average cash, investment and debt balances we maintain and as a result of changes in the market rates of our investments and any future debt repurchases.

39


 

Provision for income taxes

      The provision for income taxes recorded for the year ended December 31, 2002 of $4.8 million consists principally of income taxes of $4.1 million on the earnings of some of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and gain on the sale of DoubleClick’s European Media business, and approximately $0.7 million of state and local taxes. The provision for income taxes recorded for the year ended December 31, 2001 of $4.8 million consists principally of income taxes of $3.5 million on the earnings of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and state and local taxes of $1.3 million. The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, does not reflect tax benefits attributable to the Company’s net operating loss and other tax carryforwards due to limitations and uncertainty surrounding DoubleClick’s prospective realization of such benefit.

2001 Compared to 2000

      2001 revenues and gross profits decreased from 2000 primarily as the result of the decline in overall online advertising spending offset by growth in our email delivery business. In response to the continued deterioration of general economic conditions, many companies have significantly scaled back their advertising and marketing budgets, which has had a correspondingly negative impact on aggregate online advertising spending. Operating expenses increased to $511.7 million from $448.2 million in 2000, and included $43.5 million in amortization of goodwill, $8.7 million in amortization of intangibles, $72.1 million in goodwill and other impairments, $15.5 million in non-cash compensation charges, $1.3 million in purchased in-process research and development costs, and $84.2 million in restructuring charges in 2001. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 included $35.9 million in amortization of goodwill, $5.3 million in amortization of intangibles, $49.4 million in goodwill impairments, $24.4 million in non-cash compensation charges, and $2.4 million in restructuring charges. Net loss including these charges was $265.8 million in 2001 as compared to $156.0 million in 2000.

DoubleClick TechSolutions

      DoubleClick TechSolutions revenue increased 1.8% to $207.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $203.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in TechSolutions revenue was primarily attributable to the launch of our new email product offerings, offset by the continuing weakness of aggregate online advertising spending, which has negatively impacted our ad management products and services. The decline in advertising spending has also intensified pricing competition. These two trends have had a pronounced effect on our TechSolutions business.

      DARTMail revenues were $20.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2001. DARTMail revenues were derived primarily from our purchase of FloNetwork in April 2001. Ad management revenue decreased 9% to $183.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $201.5 for the year ended December 31, 2000. As a result of the trends noted above, the effective price for our ad management products decreased

40


 

approximately 14% offset by an increase in volumes of approximately 6%. The decline in the effective price was primarily associated with the decrease in the fee charged to DoubleClick Media.

      DoubleClick TechSolutions gross margin was 63.9% for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 71.6% for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decline in gross margin resulted primarily from an increase in depreciation expense relating to ad and email delivery hardware, Internet access costs, and the amortization of purchased technology associated with the acquisition of FloNetwork. In addition, gross margin was impacted by the decrease in the fee charged to DoubleClick Media for the provision of technology support. The costs were offset by the reduction in personnel associated with restructuring activities.

DoubleClick Data

      DoubleClick Data revenue increased 12.4% to $81.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared with $72.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. These results reflected a slight decrease in revenues generated by our Abacus division, which was more than offset by the impact of the acquisition of @plan in February 2001. Abacus revenues were $71.4 million and Research revenues were $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Abacus experienced a decrease in revenues associated with its Abacus Alliance offset by an increase in revenues from its new Business-to-Business Alliance. The weakness in the economy and its effect on marketing budgets has negatively impacted our DoubleClick Data business.

      Gross margin declined from 68.0% for the year ended December 31, 2000 to 67.4% for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decline in gross margin was primarily due to the gross margin associated with our Research division, which is significantly lower than margins of our Abacus division. In addition, Abacus experienced higher costs associated with its data collection as well as the amortization of acquired email lists. These costs were offset by the reduction in personnel associated with restructuring activities.

DoubleClick Media

      Revenue for DoubleClick Media decreased 49.0% to $129.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $253.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease in DoubleClick Media revenue reflected in large part the decline in overall online advertising spending. In response to the continued deterioration of general economic conditions, many companies, particularly Internet-related companies, have significantly scaled back their advertising and marketing budgets, which has had a correspondingly negative impact on aggregate online advertising spending. DoubleClick Media revenue also decreased due to a reduction in the number of advertising impressions delivered to users of the AltaVista Web site. DoubleClick Media revenue derived from advertising impressions delivered to users of the AltaVista Web site was $8.8 million, or 6.8% of DoubleClick Media revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared to $28.4 million, or 11.2% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000. Because of specific contractual terms unique to AltaVista, we recognize revenue from sales commissions, billing and collection fees and DART service fees derived from the sale and delivery of ads on the AltaVista Web site and associated services.

41


 

      DoubleClick Media gross margin was 31.9% for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 25.3% for the year ended December 31, 2000. Gross margin was lower in 2000 primarily due to the $18.5 million write-off of our advance to a Web publisher in December 2000. Excluding this one-time charge, gross margin would have been 32.6% for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease in gross margin, exclusive of this one-time charge, is primarily the result of increased levels of price competition and increases in the amount of unsold inventory, which diluted the effective price of delivered advertising impressions. This decrease was partially offset by lower average site fees remitted to Web publishers and a reduction in the cost of technology support provided by DoubleClick TechSolutions.

Operating Expenses

Sales and marketing

      Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and related benefits, sales commissions, general marketing costs, advertising, bad debt expense, and other operating expenses associated with the sales and marketing departments. Sales and marketing expenses were $182.8 million, or 45.1% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $227.2 million, or 44.9% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease in sales and marketing expense of $44.4 million was primarily attributable to decreases in personnel-related costs of approximately $17.1 million due to headcount reductions associated with our restructuring activities. Non-cash compensation expense decreased approximately $8.5 million due to the elimination of the non-cash compensation due to the former shareholders of DoubleClick Scandinavia as the result of the accelerated payment of their remaining contingent consideration in the second quarter of 2001. In addition, marketing and bad debt expenses decreased $7.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively. These decreases are commensurate with the decline in our revenues and the level of business activity.

General and administrative

      General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and related benefits, professional services fees and facility-related costs. General and administrative expenses were $65.7 million, or 16.2% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001, and $83.2, or 16.5% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease in general and administrative expense of $17.5 million was primarily the result of overall reductions in professional services fees of $6.9 million, personnel-related costs of $2.4 million, recruiting fees of $2.2 million and travel and entertainment expenses of $1.6 million. Decreased professional services fees resulted in part from a reduction in consulting fees associated with system conversion and integration. Personnel related costs, recruiting fees and travel and entertainment expenses declined due to job eliminations associated with our restructuring activities.

Product development

      Product development expenses consist primarily of compensation and related benefits, consulting fees, and other operating expenses associated with the product development departments. Product development expenses were $53.4 million, or 13.2% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $44.8 million, or 8.9% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in product development expenses of $8.7 million was primarily the result of growth-related increases in compensation and related benefits for product development personnel of $4.6 million and depreciation expense of $2.9 million, which were partially offset by reductions in professional fees of approximately $1.4 million.

Amortization of goodwill

      Goodwill amortization was $43.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 35.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase of $7.6 million was the result of goodwill amortization associated with our acquisitions of @plan, DoubleClick Japan and FloNetwork, partially offset by reductions in amortization expense relating to DoubleClick Scandinavia and DoubleClick Iberoamerica as the result of their impairment write-downs in the fourth quarter of 2000.

42


 

      Effective January 1, 2002 in accordance with SFAS No. 142, DoubleClick ceased amortizing goodwill. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 would have reduced its goodwill amortization expense by approximately $43.5 million and $35.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Amortization of other intangibles

      Amortization of intangible assets consists primarily of the amortization of customer lists and patents. Amortization expense was $8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase of $3.4 million was primarily the result of the increase in the amortization of customer lists associated with our acquisition of FloNetwork and the purchase of the intellectual property assets of Sabela Media and L90, Inc.

Goodwill and other impairments

      Goodwill and other impairments was $72.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $49.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.

      In connection with DoubleClick’s decision to sell its European Media operations, management determined that the estimated fair value of the consideration it would receive pursuant to the sale agreement would be less than the carrying value of its European Media operations. As a result, management concluded that its investment in its European Media operations was impaired. DoubleClick recorded a charge of approximately $8.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2001, which represented the difference between the estimated fair value of the consideration to be received and the carrying value of the net assets to be sold.

      The persistence of the unfavorable economic conditions that began in 2000 led DoubleClick management to undertake a review of the recoverability of certain of its investments in the third quarter of 2001. As a result of significantly lower-than-expected revenues generated to date and considerably reduced estimates of future performance, management concluded that its investments in @plan and Flashbase were impaired. Accordingly, DoubleClick recognized an approximately $63.3 million impairment charge equal to the difference between its investments and the estimated fair value of these businesses in the third quarter of 2001. Of this amount, approximately $53.3 million related to @plan and $10.0 million related to Flashbase.

      In the second quarter of 2001, management reviewed the recoverability of its investments in @plan and Flashbase. As @plan had only been acquired in February of 2001, management believed that it did not, at that time, have enough operational experience with this investment to determine that it was impaired.

      In connection with the restructuring activities undertaken in the beginning of 2001, DoubleClick reorganized its sweepstakes offering with the expectation that Flashbase would, through the improved visibility of its product line and a streamlined cost structure, continue to represent a viable component of its business despite lower-than-expected revenues generated to date. As of the end of the second quarter of 2001, management did not believe, given the reorganization and Flashbase’s budgeted forecasts, that this investment was impaired. At the end of the third quarter, as this investment’s results mirrored general economic trends and fell well short of projections, the decision was ultimately made to devote resources away from the sweepstakes offering and towards more profitable lines of business. It was at this time that management concluded its investment in Flashbase was impaired.

      The amount of the goodwill impairment was calculated based on discounted analyses of these businesses’ expected future cash flows, which were no longer deemed adequate to support the value of the goodwill associated with these investments. In both cases, sharply-reduced estimates of anticipated revenue growth and operating results, triggered primarily by the continued softness in aggregate online advertising spending, generated correspondingly lowered expectations of future cash flows and formed the basis for the recording of the charge in the third quarter of 2001. These entities’ expected future cash flows and terminal values are based on management’s budgeted forecasts and estimates. To the extent that these entities’ results fall short of DoubleClick’s revised projections, additional impairment charges could be incurred.

      As a result of the significant decline in its stock price in 2000, DoubleClick reviewed the recoverability of the goodwill associated with its acquisitions of DoubleClick Scandinavia and DoubleClick Iberoamerica in

43


 

accordance with its accounting policy. In the course of its analysis, DoubleClick determined that the goodwill attributable to DoubleClick Scandinavia and DoubleClick Iberoamerica was in excess of its estimates of these entities’ future cash flows. Accordingly, DoubleClick recognized $49.4 million in impairment charges equal to the difference between its investment in and the estimated fair value of these entities in the fourth quarter of 2000. Of this amount, $48.2 million related to DoubleClick Scandinavia and $1.2 million related to DoubleClick Iberoamerica.

Purchased in-process research and development

      In connection with our acquisition of FloNetwork in April 2001, $1.3 million of the purchase price was allocated to in-process research and development projects and charged to operations as the projects had not reached technological feasibility as of the date of acquisition and were determined to have no alternative future uses.

      DoubleClick incurred no such charges for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Restructuring charges

      Throughout 2001, our management took certain actions to increase operational efficiencies and bring costs in line with revenues. These measures included the involuntary terminations of approximately 605 employees, primarily from our Media and TechSolutions divisions, as well as the consolidation of some of our leased office space and the closure of several of our offices. As a consequence, we recorded an $84.2 million charge to operations during the year of 2001. This charge included approximately $10.4 million for severance-related payments to terminated employees, approximately $51.7 million for the accrual of future lease costs (net of estimated sublease income and deferred rent liabilities previously recorded), approximately $19.5 million for the write-off of fixed assets situated in office locations that were closed or consolidated, and approximately $2.6 million in other exit costs, which included consulting and professional fees related to the restructuring activities and expenses associated with the decision to move the TechSolutions customer support department from New York to Colorado.

      In December 2000, management took certain actions to reduce employee headcount in order to better align its sales, development and administrative organization. This involved the involuntary terminations of approximately 180 employees. As a consequence, we recorded a $2.4 million charge to operations during the fourth quarter of 2000 related to payments for severance as well as the costs of outplacement services and the provision of continued benefits to terminated personnel.

Loss from operations

      Our operating loss was $283.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $189.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in operating loss of $94.3 million was primarily attributable to the decrease in revenues, the incurrence of certain non-recurring charges, including goodwill impairment and restructuring charges, and the increase in the amortization of intangible assets discussed above.

Equity in losses of affiliates

      Equity in losses of affiliates was $2.5 million for the year December 31, 2001 and $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Included in equity in losses of affiliates for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $3.8 million of non-recurring income related to DoubleClick’s proportionate share of the gain recognized by ValueClick following the initial public offering of its consolidated subsidiary, ValueClick Japan. The decrease in equity in losses of affiliates was primarily the result of a reduction in the amount of amortization expense associated with our investment in ValueClick. Following our impairment write-down of the goodwill related to our investment in ValueClick in the fourth quarter of 2000, amortization expense associated with this investment decreased from $9.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.

44


 

      As a result of the cumulative dilutive effects of the transactions described below, DoubleClick does not believe that it is able to exercise significant influence over its investment in ValueClick as of December 31, 2001. Accordingly, DoubleClick will no longer record its proportionate share of ValueClick’s results but instead carry this investment at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. At December 31, 2001, DoubleClick has recorded approximately $5.9 million in unrealized gains associated with its investment in ValueClick.

Gain on equity transactions of affiliates, net

      For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recognized a gain of approximately $7.2 million from the initial public offering of our consolidated subsidiary DoubleClick Japan, which was partially offset by a loss of approximately $5.7 million related to the decrease in value of our proportionate share of the net assets of our equity-method investee ValueClick following the consummation of business combinations with ClickAgents.com, Mediaplex, and the issuance of common stock to the former shareholders of Bach Systems, Inc., due to the achievement of certain performance objectives. For the year ended December 31, 2000, we recognized an approximately $8.9 million gain related to the increase in the value of our investment as the result of ValueClick’s initial public offering and an approximately $20.7 million gain through partial sale our interest in NetGravity to the minority shareholders of DoubleClick Japan.

Impairment of investments in affiliates

      Impairment of investments in affiliates was $16.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $24.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. During the year ended December 31, 2001, as a result of the significant decline in the market value of Internet-based companies and the decreasing declining access of these companies to public and private financing, management performed an assessment of the carrying values of certain of its investments in affiliates in the second quarter of 2001. In the course of its analysis, DoubleClick determined that the carrying value of its cost-method investment in Return Path, Inc. (“Return Path”) was no longer recoverable. As a consequence, DoubleClick wrote off its entire investment in Return Path and recognized an impairment charge of $4.5 million during the second quarter of 2001. In addition, DoubleClick determined that the carrying value of its equity method investment in ValueClick was impaired. Consequently, DoubleClick wrote down its investment in ValueClick and recognized an impairment charge of approximately $11.7 million during the third quarter of 2001, which represented the difference between DoubleClick’s carrying value and the estimated fair value of its investment in ValueClick. The estimated fair value of DoubleClick’s investment in ValueClick was determined based on the closing market price of ValueClick stock on September 30, 2001.

      DoubleClick recognized approximately $24.1 million in impairment charges relating to its investment in ValueClick for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Gain on early extinguishment of debt

      For the year ended December 31, 2001, DoubleClick repurchased $20.3 million of its outstanding 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes for approximately $13.6 million in cash. DoubleClick wrote off approximately $0.3 million in deferred issuance costs and recognized a gain of approximately $6.4 million as the result of the early retirement of this debt.

      There were no such gains recognized during the year ended December 31, 2000.

Write-down of warrant

      In the third quarter of 2000, DoubleClick management determined that the remaining exercise period of its warrant to purchase approximately 10.8 million additional common shares of ValueClick was not a sufficient period to allow for the price of ValueClick common stock to move above the warrant’s strike price. The application of an option-pricing model confirmed that the estimated fair value of the ValueClick warrant was negligible. As a result, DoubleClick wrote off the entire value of the warrant and recognized an impairment charge of approximately $18.7 million.

45


 

      There were no such charges incurred for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Interest and other, net

      Interest and other, net was $29.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $53.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Interest and other, net included $43.0 million of interest income for the year ended December 31, 2001, partially offset by $12.8 million in interest expense. For the year ended December 31, 2000, Interest and other, net included $54.4 million in interest income, income of approximately $5.0 million related to contract termination fees associated with the restructuring of our Advertising Services Agreement with AltaVista in fiscal year 2000, and $8.6 million relating to merger termination fees paid by NetCreations on the termination of our merger agreement in December 2000.

      These amounts were partially offset by interest expense of $12.1 million. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to decreases in the average quarterly balances of our investments in marketable securities and decreases in average investment yields due to declines in interest rates.

Provision for income taxes

      The provision for income taxes does not reflect the benefit of our historical losses due to limitations and uncertainty surrounding our prospective realization of the benefit. The provision for income taxes recorded for the year ended December 31, 2001 of $4.8 million consists principally of income taxes of $3.5 million on the earnings of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and state and local taxes of $1.3 million. For the year ended December 31, 2000, the provision for income taxes of $1.5 million consists principally of income taxes of $2.3 million on the earnings of certain of the company’s foreign subsidiaries, state and local taxes of $0.9 million, and a benefit of $1.7 million relating to the change in estimated tax refunds receivable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through private placements of equity securities, and public offerings of our common stock and Convertible Subordinated Notes.

      Operating activities generated $43.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, used $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, and generated $41.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2002 resulted primarily from our net loss, adjusted for non-cash items, and decreases in accounts payable, offset by an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities. Cash used by operating activities in 2001 resulted from our net loss, excluding non-cash items, and decreases in accounts payable and deferred revenue, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in accrued expenses. Cash provided by operating activities in 2000 resulted primarily from a our net loss, excluding non-cash items, and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, which were partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses. Cash flow from operating activities may be impacted in future periods based on the timing and amount of restructuring payments.

      Investing activities provided $65.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, and used $85.6 million and $525.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2002, resulted primarily from proceeds received from the sale of businesses and investments in affiliates. Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2001 resulted primarily from the purchases of equipment and the net cash outlays for acquisitions of businesses and intangible assets, which was partially offset by the maturities of some of our investments in marketable securities. Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2000 resulted principally from the investment of the proceeds of our common stock issuance in marketable securities, as well as purchases of equipment and the net cash outlays for the acquisition of businesses and intangible assets. Capital expenditures are expected to increase in 2003 due to the replacement of obsolete equipment.

      Financing activities used $69.5 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and provided $4.2 million and $559.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Cash used by financing activities resulted primarily from the repurchase of convertible bonds, purchases of our common stock and

46


 

payments under capital lease obligations. Cash generated by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2001 resulted primarily from the initial public offering of our consolidated subsidiary, DoubleClick Japan, and the proceeds from the exercise of stock options, mostly offset by cash payments for debt and stock repurchases. Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2000 consisted primarily of the net proceeds from our public offering of common stock. Cash flow from financing activities may be impacted in future periods based on the potential for additional repurchases of our convertible bonds and common stock.

      DoubleClick’s cash and cash equivalents decreased $21.9 million as a result of the deconsolidation our subsidiary, DoubleClick Japan. On December 26, 2002, DoubleClick sold 45,049 shares of common stock in DoubleClick Japan and reduced its ownership interest to 15.6%. As a result of this transaction, DoubleClick will account for its remaining 31,271 shares in DoubleClick Japan under the equity method of accounting.

      As of December 31, 2002, we had $123.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $601.2 million in investments in marketable securities consisting of government and corporate debt securities and $25.1 million in restricted cash. As of December 31, 2002, our principal commitments consisted of $154.8 million principal amount our Convertible Subordinated Notes and our obligations under operating and capital leases.

      DoubleClick’s contractual obligations are as follows:

(1)  Operating lease obligations primarily include rental payments for office facilities. As of December 31, 2002, DoubleClick has recorded restructuring reserves and assumed liabilities in connection with acquisitions totaling approximately $120 million relating to excess space at these facilities.

      Although we have no material commitments for capital expenditures, we continue to anticipate that our capital expenditures and lease commitments will be a material use of our cash resources consistent with the levels of our operations, infrastructure and personnel.

      We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.

Related Party Transactions

      DoubleClick maintains a 15% interest in AdLINK Internet Media AG (“AdLINK”). This interest was acquired in January 2002 as a result of the sale of DoubleClick’s European Media business. DoubleClick recognized revenue of approximately $2.0 during the year ended December 31, 2002 relating to services provided to AdLINK.

      In addition, DoubleClick holds a 19.8% interest in MaxWorldwide, Inc (“MaxWorldwide”). This interest was acquired in July 2002 as a result of the sale of DoubleClick’s North American Media business. Subsequent to the sale of the DoubleClick’s North American Media business, DoubleClick recognized revenue of approximately $1.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2002 relating to services provided to MaxWorldwide.

      Additionally, DoubleClick maintains a minority interest in DoubleClick Japan. On December 26, 2002, DoubleClick sold 45,049 shares of common stock in DoubleClick Japan and reduced its ownership interest to 15.6%. As a result of this transaction, DoubleClick will account for its remaining 31,271 shares in DoubleClick

47


 

Japan under the equity method of accounting. DoubleClick will also retain one seat on DoubleClick Japan’s board of directors. DoubleClick Japan will continue to sell DoubleClick’s suite of DART technology products as part of a long-term technology reseller agreement. Revenue recognized through sales to DoubleClick Japan subsequent to the date of deconsolidation was not material.
 
Item 7a.      Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

      The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and marketable securities in a variety of government and corporate obligations and money market funds. As of December 31, 2002, our investments in marketable securities had a weighted average time to maturity of 366 days.

      The following table presents the amounts of our financial instruments that are subject to interest rate risk by expected maturity and average interest rates as of December 31, 2002.

      As of December 31, 2002, restricted cash was $25.1 million and the average interest rate associated with this cash was 2.21%. Restricted cash consists of office lease security deposits and funds to cover our automated clearinghouse payment function.

      We did not hold derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2002 and have not held these instruments in the past.

Foreign Currency Risk

      We transact business in various foreign countries and are thus subject to exposure from adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. This exposure is primarily related to revenue and operating expenses denominated in European and Asian currencies, as well as cash balances held in currencies other than the functional currency of DoubleClick and its subsidiaries. The effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on operations resulted in losses of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, respectively. This was principally as a result of the weakening of the U.S. dollar and its impact upon our U.S. dollar denominated deposits held by our international subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2002. The effect of foreign exchange fluctuations on our operations for the year ended December 31, 2001, was not material.

      To date we have not used financial instruments to hedge operating activities denominated in foreign currencies. We assess the need to utilize financial instruments to hedge currency exposures on an ongoing basis. As of December 31, 2002, we had $33.4 million in cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies.

      Our international business is subject to risks typical of an international business, including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other

48


 

regulations and restrictions and foreign exchange rate volatility. Accordingly, our future results could be materially and adversely affected by changes in these or other factors.

Equity Risk

      The Company holds investments in equity instruments of public companies received as a result of certain business transactions, including shares held in DoubleClick Japan, NetRatings, Inc., AdLINK Internet Media AG and MaxWorldwide, Inc. Such investments, which are in the Internet industry, are subject to significant fluctuations in fair market value due to the volatility of the stock market. The following represents the cost basis and fair market value of these investments, which is included in as “Investment in affiliates” on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

      Certain of DoubleClick’s investments have suffered a decrease in value as a result of recent market volatility. As a consequence, DoubleClick wrote-down these investments to their estimated fair value in 2002. We will continue to evaluate our investments in marketable securities for impairment due to declines in market value considered to be other than temporary. That evaluation includes, in addition to persistent, declining stock prices, general economic and company-specific assessments. In the event of a determination that a further decline in market value is other than temporary, a charge to earnings will be recorded for all or a portion of the unrealized loss, and a new cost basis in the investment will be established.

DOUBLECLICK INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2002
 
NOTE 1 — Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of business

      DoubleClick is a leading provider of products and services used by direct marketers, Web publishers and advertisers to plan, execute and analyze their marketing programs. Combining marketing technology and data expertise, DoubleClick’s products and services help its customers optimize their advertising and marketing campaigns online and through direct mail. DoubleClick offers a broad array of marketing technology and data products and services to its customers to allow them to address a full range of the marketing process, from pre-campaign planning and testing, to execution, measurement and campaign refinements.

      DoubleClick derives its revenues from three business units: Technology (or “TechSolutions”), Data and Media based on the types of services provided. DoubleClick TechSolutions includes our ad management products, consisting of the DART for Publishers Service, the DART Enterprise ad serving software product, the DART for Advertisers Service, and a suite of email products based on DoubleClick’s DARTmail Service. DoubleClick Data includes its Abacus division, which utilizes the information contributed to the proprietary Abacus database by Abacus Alliance members to make direct marketing more effective for Abacus Alliance members and other clients. DoubleClick Media included the DoubleClick network that provided fully outsourced and effective ad sales and related services to a worldwide group of advertisers and publishers. As a result of the sale of the European Media Business on January 28, 2002 and North American Media business on July 10, 2002, the Media operations consisted only of the investment in DoubleClick Japan. On December 26, 2002, DoubleClick reduced its ownership percentage in DoubleClick Japan and will no longer consolidate their results of operations. See Note 3, “Investment in DoubleClick Japan.” As a result of the preceding transactions, we were fully divested of our Media operations as of December 31, 2002. Accordingly, DoubleClick will not report a DoubleClick Media segment in the future.

Basis of presentation

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DoubleClick, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and subsidiaries over which it exercises a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Investments in entities in which DoubleClick does not have a controlling financial interest, but over which it has significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which DoubleClick does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the cost method.

Cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, and restricted cash

      Cash and cash equivalents represent cash and highly liquid investments with a remaining contractual maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less.

      Marketable securities are classified as current or long-term assets depending on their dates of maturity. As of December 31, 2002, all marketable securities included in long-term assets mature in the calendar year 2004.

      DoubleClick classifies its investments in marketable securities as available-for-sale. Accordingly, these investments are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. DoubleClick recognizes gains and losses when these securities are sold using the specific identification method. DoubleClick has not recognized any material gains or losses from the sale of its investments in marketable securities.

      Restricted cash represents funds to cover office lease security deposits and our automated clearinghouse payment function.

Property and equipment

      Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated life of the asset or the lease term. As required by SOP 98-1, Accounting for Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, DoubleClick capitalizes certain computer software developed or obtained for internal use. Capitalized computer software is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the software or generally three to five years.

Goodwill and intangible assets

      DoubleClick records as goodwill the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Until December 31, 2001, goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, which was generally three years.

DOUBLECLICK INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      Effective July 1, 2001, DoubleClick adopted certain provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and effective January 1, 2002, DoubleClick adopted the full provisions of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 established new standards for accounting and reporting requirements for business combinations and requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interests method is prohibited. SFAS No. 142 established new standards for goodwill acquired in a business combination, eliminated amortization of goodwill and set forth methods to periodically evaluate goodwill for impairment. Intangible assets with a determinable useful life will continue to be amortized over that life. DoubleClick completed its initial impairment testing and no changes to the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets were made as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142. Subsequent impairment testing will take place annually, as well as when a triggering event indicating impairment may have occurred. See Note 9, “Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangibles.”

      Intangible assets include patents, trademarks, customer lists, and purchased technology. Such intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which are generally two to five years.

Impairment of long-lived assets

      DoubleClick assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets, including goodwill and intangible assets, held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to be generated by an asset’s disposition or use may not be sufficient to support its carrying amount. If such undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to support the recorded value of assets, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the carrying value of long-lived assets to their estimated fair value.

Revenue recognition

      DoubleClick’s revenues are presented net of a provision for advertiser credits, which is estimated and established in the period in which services are provided. These credits are generally issued in the event that delivered advertisements do not meet contractual specifications. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

      Technology. Revenues include fees earned from the use of DART ad management products and services and email products and services, DoubleClick’s Web-based ad management (advertising impression delivery) solution. Revenues derived from the use of DART email delivery technology and email services are recognized in the period the advertising impressions or emails are delivered provided collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. DART services activation fees are deferred and recognized ratably over the expected term of the customer relationship.

      For DoubleClick’s licensed ad serving software solution, revenues are recognized upon completion of product installation, which is generally when customers begin utilizing the product, there is pervasive evidence of an arrangement, collection is reasonably assured, the fee is fixed or determinable, and vendor-specific objective evidence exists to allocate the total fees to all elements of the arrangement. A portion of the initial ad serving software license fee is attributed to the customer’s right to receive, at no additional charge, software upgrades released during the subsequent twelve months. Revenues attributable to software upgrades are deferred and recognized ratably over the period covered by the software license agreement, which is generally one year.

      Revenues from consulting services are recognized as the services are performed and customer-support revenues are deferred and recognized ratably over the period covered by the customer support agreement, generally one year.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      Data. DoubleClick provides services to its customers that result in a deliverable product in the form of marketing data or customized written reports. DoubleClick recognizes revenues when the product is shipped to the customer provided collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. In certain cases, DoubleClick provides subscriptions to unlimited products for a fixed fee and over a fixed period of time, which revenue is recognized ratably.

      In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. SAB 101 summarizes certain of the SEC’s views on the application of generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The adoption of SAB 101 of recognizing revenue for the Technology and Data segments did not have a material effect on DoubleClick’s financial position or results of operations.

      Media. Revenues are derived primarily from the sale and delivery of advertising impressions through third-party Web sites within the DoubleClick network (the “network”). Revenues are recognized in the period the advertising impressions are delivered provided collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Deferred revenue consists primarily of payments received in advance of revenue being earned for the delivery of such advertising impressions.

      DoubleClick becomes obligated to make payments to third-party Web sites, which have contracted with DoubleClick to be part of the network, in the period the advertising impressions are delivered. Such expenses are classified as costs of revenues in the consolidated statement of operations.

Product development

      Product development expenses consist primarily of compensation and related benefits, consulting fees and other operating expenses associated with the product development departments. The product development departments perform research and development, enhance and maintain existing products, and provide quality assurance. To date, all product development costs have been expensed as incurred. Software development costs are required to be capitalized when a product’s technological feasibility has been established by completion of a working model of the product and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. To date, completion of a working model of DoubleClick’s products and general release have substantially coincided. As a result, DoubleClick has not capitalized any software development costs.

Issuance of stock by affiliates

      Changes in DoubleClick’s interest in its affiliates arising as the result of their issuance of common stock are recorded as gains and losses in the consolidated statement of operations, except for any transactions that must be recorded directly to equity in accordance with the provisions of SAB No. 51.

Advertising expenses

      DoubleClick expenses the cost of advertising and promoting its services as incurred. Such costs are included in sales and marketing in the consolidated statements of operations and totaled $3.6 million, $12.8 million, and $22.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

Income taxes

      DoubleClick uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is

59


 

DOUBLECLICK INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

recognized in results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Foreign currency

      The functional currencies of DoubleClick’s foreign subsidiaries are their respective local currencies. The financial statements maintained in local currencies are translated to United States dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities and average rates during the period for revenues, cost of revenues and expenses. Translation gains and losses are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Net gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations and were not significant during the periods presented.

Equity-based compensation

      DoubleClick accounts for its employee stock option plans under the intrinsic value method, in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense related to the granting of employee stock options is recorded over the vesting period only if, on the date of grant, the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the option’s exercise price. DoubleClick has adopted the disclosure-only requirements of SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB No. 25 for transactions with employees and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock grants made as if the fair value based method of accounting in SFAS No. 123 had been applied to these transactions.

      In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure” which amends SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” See “New accounting pronouncements.”

      Had DoubleClick determined compensation expense of employee stock options based on the estimated fair value of the stock options at the grant date, consistent with the guidelines of SFAS 123, DoubleClick’s net loss would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

                           
Year Ended December 31,

DOUBLECLICK INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      The per share weighted average fair value of options granted for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $4.09, $6.86, and $51.12, respectively, on the grant date with the following weighted average assumptions:

                         
Year Ended December 31,

2002 2001 2000



Expected dividend yield
    0 %     0 %     0 %
Risk-free interest rate
    3.82 %     4.51 %     6.18 %
Expected life
    4.5 years       4.5 years       4 years  
Volatility
    70 %     100 %     115 %

      The pro forma impact of options on the net loss for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, is not representative of the effects on net income (loss) for future years, as future years will include the effects of additional years of stock option grants.

Basic and diluted net loss per share

      Basic net loss per common share excludes the effect of potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted net loss per share adjusts this calculation to reflect the impact of outstanding convertible securities, stock options and other potentially dilutive financial instruments to the extent that their inclusion would have a dilutive effect on net loss per share for the reporting period.

      At December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, outstanding options of approximately 16.5 million, 23.9 million, and 22.2 million, respectively, to purchase shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would have had an antidilutive effect for the periods presented. Similarly, the computation of diluted net loss per share for 2002, 2001 and 2000 excludes the effect of 3,752,724, 5,326,055, and 6,060,606 shares, respectively, issuable upon conversion of the 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006, since their inclusion would also have had an antidilutive effect. As a result, the basic and diluted net loss per share amounts are equal for all periods presented.

Concentrations of credit risk

      Financial instruments that potentially subject DoubleClick to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities and accounts receivable.

      Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and collateral is not required. DoubleClick performs ongoing credit assessments of its customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts.

      In 1999, DoubleClick advanced approximately $20 million to AllAdvantage, an Internet advertising and sweepstakes company. In view of the weak market for Internet advertising in general and the financial difficulties of AllAdvantage in particular, management concluded that was no longer recoverable and the remaining balance of approximately $18.5 million was written off in the fourth quarter of 2000. This charge has been classified as a cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations DoubleClick has no other such arrangements.

      DoubleClick’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and convertible subordinated notes. At December 31, 2002 and 2001 the fair value of these instruments approximated their financial statement carrying amount with the exception of the convertible subordinated notes, which had estimated fair values of $135.6 million and $173.8 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

DOUBLECLICK INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Use of estimates

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

      Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to current year presentation.

New accounting pronouncements

      In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections’ (“SFAS No. 145”). SFAS No. 145, among other things, rescinds SFAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt to be classified as an extraordinary item and amends SFAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002 but earlier adoption is encouraged. DoubleClick has repurchased and may in the future continue to repurchase a portion of its outstanding Convertible Subordinated Notes. DoubleClick adopted SFAS No. 145 effective July 1, 2002 and no longer records gains or losses from the retirement of its Convertible Subordinated Notes as extraordinary items, net of taxes but as a component of other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As required under SFAS No. 145, prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

      In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities’ (“SFAS No.146”). SFAS No. 46 nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring” (EITF 94-3). The principal difference between SFAS No. 146 and EITF 94-3 relates to the recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability be recognized for those costs only when the liability is incurred, that is, when it meets the definition of a liability in the FASB’s conceptual framework. In contrast, EITF 94-3 required recognition of a liability for an exit cost when management committed to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes fair value as the objective for initial measurement of liabilities related to exit or disposal activities. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 and has no effect on exit or disposal activities begun prior to this date.

      In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure.” This Statement amends SFAS No. 123, “Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The disclosure provisions of this Statement are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and have been incorporated into these financial statements and accompanying footnotes.

Change in accounting estimate

      Effective January 1, 2002, DoubleClick changed its estimate of the useful lives of its production equipment and software. The estimated useful life for these assets was extended from three years to four years in order to recognize depreciation expense over the remaining time that the assets are expected to be in service. The change was based on an analysis performed by DoubleClick’s operations department. As a result of this change, net loss was reduced by approximately $8.3 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2002.

NOTE 2 — Business Transactions

Acquisitions

MessageMedia

      On January 18, 2002, DoubleClick completed its acquisition of MessageMedia, Inc. (“MessageMedia”), a provider of permission-based email marketing and messaging solutions. The acquisition of MessageMedia has allowed DoubleClick to expand its suite of email product and service offerings as well as broaden its client base.

      DoubleClick acquired all the outstanding shares, options and warrants of MessageMedia in exchange for approximately one million shares of DoubleClick common stock valued at approximately $7.5 million, and stock options and warrants to acquire DoubleClick common stock valued at approximately $0.2 million. In connection with the acquisition, DoubleClick loaned $2.0 million to MessageMedia to satisfy MessageMedia’s operating requirements. The loan was extinguished upon the closing of the acquisition and included as a component of the purchase price. The purchase price, inclusive of approximately $1.6 million of direct acquisition costs, was approximately $11.3 million. The value of the approximately one million shares of DoubleClick common stock issued was determined based on the average market price of DoubleClick common stock, as quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, for the day immediately prior to, the day of, and the day immediately after the number of shares due to MessageMedia shareholders became irrevocably fixed pursuant to the agreement under which MessageMedia was acquired. The MessageMedia options and warrants assumed by DoubleClick as the result of this merger converted into options and warrants to acquire approximately 120,000 shares of DoubleClick common stock and have been valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

         
Expected dividend yield
    0.0 %
Risk-free interest rate
    3.7 %
Expected life (in years)
    3.6

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      Approximately $1.9 million of the purchase price has been allocated to customer lists and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over two years. DoubleClick recorded approximately $28.5 million in goodwill, which represents the remainder of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. This goodwill is not tax deductible and, in accordance with SFAS No. 142, will be and has been periodically tested for impairment. (See Note 7.)

      Assumed liabilities include costs accrued of approximately $12.5 million for idle space at a facility in Louisville, Colorado. As of December 31, 2002, approximately $1.5 million has been paid.

      The results of operations for MessageMedia have been included in DoubleClick’s Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition.

Abacus Direct Europe

      On June 26, 2002, DoubleClick acquired the remaining 50% of the Abacus Direct Europe (“Abacus Direct Europe”), joint venture that it did not previously own from VNU Marketing Information Europe & Asia B.V, an affiliate of Claritas (UK) Limited. The joint venture was formed in November 1998 and provides database-marketing services to the direct marketing industry, primarily in the United Kingdom. The results of operations for Abacus Direct Europe have been included in DoubleClick’s Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition. DoubleClick’s investment in the joint venture was previously accounted for under the equity method of accounting. DoubleClick acquired all the outstanding shares of Abacus Direct Europe held by VNU in exchange for approximately $3.7 million in cash and direct acquisition costs. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed according to their fair value at the date of acquisition as follows (in millions):

FloNetwork

      On April 23, 2001, DoubleClick completed its acquisition of FloNetwork Inc. (“FloNetwork”), a privately-held provider of email technology services. In the transaction, which has been accounted for as a purchase, DoubleClick acquired all of the outstanding shares, option and warrants of FloNetwork in exchange for $17.1 million in cash, DoubleClick common stock valued at $30.7 million and stock options and warrants to acquire DoubleClick common stock valued at $3.8 million. The value of the approximately 2,800,000 shares of DoubleClick common stock issued was determined based on the average market price of DoubleClick common stock, as quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, for the day immediately prior to, the day of, and the day immediately after the number of shares and cash consideration due to FloNetwork shareholders became irrevocably fixed pursuant to the agreement under which FloNetwork was acquired. The FloNetwork options and warrants assumed by DoubleClick as the result of this merger converted into options and warrants to acquire approximately 430,000 shares of DoubleClick common stock and have been valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

      On the basis of fair value appraisals, approximately $4.3 million of the purchase price has been allocated to acquired technology, $2.2 million to customer lists and $1.3 million to purchased in-process research and development. The amounts allocated to customer lists and acquired technology is being amortized on a straight-line basis over two and three years, respectively. The amounts attributed to in-process research and development projects have been charged to operations as they had not reached technological feasibility as of the date of acquisition and were determined to have no alternative future uses. DoubleClick has also recorded approximately $45.0 million in goodwill, which represents the remainder of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. This goodwill was not tax deductible and was being amortized on a straight-line basis over three years. In accordance with SFAS 142, DoubleClick ceased to amortize goodwill as of January 1, 2002. See Note 1, “Description of business and significant accounting policies.”

      The results of operations for FloNetwork have been included in DoubleClick’s Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition.

Flashbase

      Effective May 26, 2000, DoubleClick acquired Flashbase, Inc. (“Flashbase”) for approximately $19.6 million. In connection with the acquisition, which has been accounted for under the purchase method, DoubleClick recorded approximately $19.5 million in goodwill. Additional payments of approximately $4.2 million were made in March 2001 based on the continued employment of the former shareholders and the attainment of specific performance objectives for the year ended December 31, 2000. Of this amount, approximately $1.7 million was paid in cash and the remaining $2.5 million was paid in DoubleClick common stock. Such amounts were included in “Sales and marketing” in the 2000 Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Divestures

European Media Business

      On January 28, 2002, DoubleClick completed the sale of its European Media business to AdLINK Internet Media AG (“AdLINK”), a German provider of Internet advertising solutions, in exchange for $26.3 million and the assumption by AdLINK of liabilities associated with DoubleClick’s European Media business. Intercompany liabilities in an amount equal to $4.3 million were settled through a cash payment by AdLINK to DoubleClick at the closing of the transaction. Following the closing of the transaction described above, United Internet AG (“United Internet”), AdLINK’s largest shareholder, exercised its right to sell to DoubleClick 15% of the outstanding common shares of AdLINK in exchange for $30.6 million. Pursuant to

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

its agreement with United Internet, the exercise of this right caused DoubleClick’s option to acquire an additional 21% of AdLINK common shares from United Internet to vest. This option is only exercisable over a two-year period if AdLINK has achieved EBITDA-positive results for two out of three consecutive fiscal quarters before December 2003. EBITDA, as defined in the option agreement, is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and one-time charges, such as restructuring costs, mergers and acquisition related costs, and other extraordinary items, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Should AdLINK fail to achieve these results, the option will expire unexerciseable in December 2003. AdLINK achieved EBITDA-positive results in the fourth quarter of 2002.

      As the result of the transactions described above, DoubleClick sold its European Media business and received a 15% interest in AdLINK, which represented approximately 3.9 million shares valued at approximately $8.3 million. DoubleClick’s option to acquire an additional 21% of the outstanding common shares of AdLINK from United Internet also vested. DoubleClick was partially reimbursed $2.0 million for its cash outlays related to the acquisitions of, and payments with respect to, the minority interests in certain of its European subsidiaries pursuant to its agreement to sell its European Media business. DoubleClick’s investment in AdLINK is included in “Investments in affiliates” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

      Revenue recognized from sales to AdLINK was approximately $2.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2002.

North America Media Business

      On July 10, 2002, DoubleClick sold its North American Media business to L90, Inc. Upon completion of the transaction, L90, Inc. was renamed MaxWorldwide, Inc. (“MaxWorldwide”). In exchange for the North American Media business, DoubleClick received 4.8 million shares in MaxWorldwide and $5 million in cash. The 4.8 million shares represented 16.1% of outstanding MaxWorldwide common stock and were valued at approximately $3.1 million. DoubleClick may also receive an additional $6 million if, during the three-year period subsequent to consummation of the transaction, MaxWorldwide has achieved EBITDA-positive results, for two out of three consecutive quarters. EBITDA, as defined in the merger agreement, is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding certain non-recurring items. As a result of this transaction, DoubleClick recognized a gain of $8.1 million during the third quarter of 2002, which has been included in “Gain on sale of businesses, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

      On August 13, 2002, MaxWorldwide repurchased 5,596,972 shares of its common stock. As the result of this repurchase, DoubleClick’s ownership percentage increased to 19.8%.

      DoubleClick accounts for this investment under the equity method of accounting. The investment is included in “Investments in affiliates” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. MaxWorldwide has yet to achieve EBITDA-positive results for each of the fiscal quarters subsequent to this transaction. MaxWorldwide’s results for the three months ended December 31, 2002 were not available as of the date of this filing. DoubleClick will report its share of MaxWorldwide’s results on a 90-day lag.

      Subsequent to the sale of DoubleClick’s North American Media business, DoubleClick recognized revenue of approximately $1.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2002 relating to services provided to MaxWorldwide.

      The following unaudited pro forma results of operations have been prepared assuming that the acquisitions of Protagona, Abacus Direct Europe, and MessageMedia, consummated during 2002, the acquisitions of FloNetwork and @plan (See Note 5), consummated during 2001, and the dispositions of the European and North American Media businesses, @plan research product line (See Note 5), and DoubleClick Japan (See Note 4) completed during 2002, occurred at the beginning of the respective periods presented. This pro forma financial information should not be considered indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved had the acquisitions and disposals been completed on the dates indicated and does not purport to indicate results of operations as of any future date or any future period.

NOTE 3 — Investment in DoubleClick Japan

      In July 2000, DoubleClick contributed its wholly-owned subsidiary, NetGravity Japan, to its affiliate DoubleClick Japan in return for an additional 27% ownership interest in DoubleClick Japan. In addition to increasing DoubleClick’s equity interest to approximately 37%, the agreement with DoubleClick Japan enabled it to elect a majority of the seats on DoubleClick Japan’s Board of Directors and exercise a controlling financial interest in its operations. Accordingly, DoubleClick consolidated the net assets and results of operations of DoubleClick Japan as of the date of the transfer. As DoubleClick Japan’s net assets and results and operations had not previously been consolidated in DoubleClick’s financial statements, this simultaneous transfer and acquisition was treated as a partial sale of DoubleClick’s interest in NetGravity and a step acquisition of an additional equity interest in DoubleClick Japan. Full reverse acquisition accounting was applied and a $20.7 million gain recognized to the extent that NetGravity Japan was deemed sold to the minority shareholders of DoubleClick Japan. This gain has been included in “Gain on equity transactions of affiliates, net” in the consolidated statements of operations. Goodwill of $21.3 million was recorded to reflect the proportionate step-up in DoubleClick Japan’s net assets as the result of the reverse acquisition.

      Subsequent to the transfer of NetGravity Japan described above, DoubleClick made an additional investment of $5.4 million in DoubleClick Japan, which increased its interest to approximately 43%. This transaction was accounted for as a step acquisition and DoubleClick recorded approximately $0.7 million of goodwill, which represented the excess of its additional investment over the fair value of the incremental assets acquired.

      On April 25, 2001, DoubleClick’s consolidated subsidiary, DoubleClick Japan, completed its initial public offering of common stock on the Nasdaq Japan Market, issuing 23,456 shares at approximately $1,236 per share. DoubleClick Japan’s net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and direct offering costs, were approximately $25.4 million. As a result of this offering, DoubleClick’s ownership interest in DoubleClick Japan decreased from 43.2% to 38.2%. DoubleClick recorded a $16.6 million increase in minority interest, reduced the carrying amount of the goodwill associated with its acquisition of DoubleClick Japan by $1.6 million and recognized a gain of approximately $7.2 million, which represented the incremental increase in consolidated net equity related to its proportionate share of the proceeds from DoubleClick Japan’s stock offering. Pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 23, no deferred taxes have been recorded related to this gain as it is considered permanently reinvested in DoubleClick Japan. This gain has been included in “Gain on equity transactions of affiliates, net” in the consolidated statements of operations.

      On December 26, 2002, DoubleClick sold 45,049 shares of common stock in DoubleClick Japan and reduced its ownership interest to 15.6%. DoubleClick received proceeds of $14.3 million and recognized a gain of $3.1 million, which has been included in “Gain on sale of investments in affiliates” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of this transaction, DoubleClick will account for its remaining 31,271 shares in DoubleClick Japan under the equity method of accounting. DoubleClick will also retain one seat on DoubleClick Japan’s board of directors. DoubleClick’s investment in DoubleClick Japan is included in “Investments in affiliates” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 4 — @plan.inc

      On February 2, 2001, DoubleClick completed its acquisition of @plan.inc (“@plan”), a provider of online market research planning systems. In the transaction, which has been accounted for as a purchase, DoubleClick acquired all of the outstanding shares, options and warrants of @plan in exchange for $39.1 million in cash, DoubleClick common stock valued at $48.7 million, and stock options and warrants to acquire DoubleClick common stock valued at approximately $15.7 million. The value of the approximately 3,200,000 shares of common stock issued was determined based on the average market price of DoubleClick common stock, as quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, for the day immediately prior to and the day of the final determination of the number of shares and cash consideration due to @plan shareholders became irrevocably fixed pursuant to the agreement under which @plan was acquired. The @plan options and warrants assumed by DoubleClick as the result of the merger converted into options and warrants to acquire approximately 1,200,000 shares of DoubleClick common stock and have been valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

         
Expected dividend yield
    0.0 %
Risk-free interest rate
    6.1 %
Expected life (in years)
    4.3  
Volatility
    107 %

      The aggregate purchase price of $104.3 million, which includes approximately $0.8 million of direct acquisition costs, has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition as follows (in millions):

      DoubleClick has recorded approximately $79.1 million in goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. This goodwill was not tax-deductible and was being amortized on a straight-line basis over three years. In accordance with SFAS 142, DoubleClick ceased to amortize this goodwill when the statement is applied in its entirety in 2002. See Note 1, “Description of business and significant accounting policies.”

      The results of operations for @plan have been included in DoubleClick’s Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition.

      On May 6, 2002, DoubleClick sold its @plan research product line to NetRatings, Inc.(“NetRatings”) a provider of technology-driven Internet audience information solutions for media and commerce, in exchange for $12.0 million in cash and 505,739 shares of NetRatings common stock valued at approximately $6.1 million. DoubleClick recognized a gain of $12.3 million on the sale of the @plan research product line, which has been included in “Gain on sale of businesses, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

      As of December 31, 2002 DoubleClick’s investments in AdLINK, and NetRatings represent investments in publicly traded companies which are accounted for as available-for-sale marketable securities. Accordingly these investments are carried at fair value. At December 31, 2002 DoubleClick’s cost basis in these investments is as follows:

         
AdLINK
  $ 1,855  
NetRatings
  $ 606  

      As of December 31, 2002 DoubleClick’s investment in MaxWorldwide, Inc. and DoubleClick Japan represent investments in publicly traded companies which are accounted under the equity method of accounting. At December 31, 2002 the fair value of these investments is as follows:

         
MaxWorldwide, Inc. 
  $ 2,880  
DoubleClick Japan, Inc. 
  $ 6,332  

      See Note 6 for information regarding DoubleClick’s investment in ValueClick, Inc. All other investments in affiliates are accounted for under the cost basis.

      During the second quarter of 2001, as a result of the significant decline in the market value of Internet-based companies and the declining access of these companies to public and private financing, management performed an assessment of the carrying values of its investments in affiliates. In the course of its analysis, DoubleClick determined that the carrying value of its cost-method investment in Return Path, Inc. (“Return Path”) was no longer recoverable. As a consequence, DoubleClick wrote off its entire investment in Return Path and recognized an impairment charge of $4.5 million.

      In the third quarter of 2002, DoubleClick determined that the carrying value of certain of its investments, principally its cost-method investments in AdLINK Internet Media AG (“AdLINK”) and NetRatings, Inc. (“NetRatings”) and its equity-method investment in MaxWorldwide, Inc. (“MaxWorldwide”) were impaired based on the continued decline in the fair market value of these investments. As a result, DoubleClick recorded an impairment charge of $11.7 million, which represented the difference between DoubleClick’s carrying value and the estimated fair value of these investments. The estimated fair values of DoubleClick’s investments in AdLINK, NetRatings and MaxWorldwide were determined based on the closing market price of their stock on September 30, 2002. Additionally, DoubleClick’s cost method investment in the joint venture, DoubleClick Asia, is being liquidated and has no continuing value. As a consequence, DoubleClick wrote-off its entire investment in DoubleClick Asia and recognized an impairment charge of $2.4 million.

NOTE 6 — Investment in ValueClick Inc.

      Effective February 28, 2000, DoubleClick acquired an approximately 33% interest in ValueClick, Inc. (“ValueClick”) as well as a warrant to purchase ValueClick common stock for 732,860 shares of DoubleClick common stock and $10.0 million in cash. DoubleClick’s investment in ValueClick was recorded based on the fair value of the consideration paid (approximately $94.2 million) less approximately $27.7 million of treasury stock that represented its proportionate share of the DoubleClick stock held by ValueClick. In addition to approximately $41.3 million of goodwill, DoubleClick’s investment in ValueClick also included an amount of approximately $18.7 million which represented the estimated fair value of the warrant on February 28, 2000. DoubleClick’s investment in ValueClick has been accounted for under the equity method, with a 90-day lag in reporting DoubleClick’s share of the results of ValueClick. DoubleClick has recorded its proportionate share of ValueClick’s net income or loss and the amortization of goodwill associated with this investment in “Equity in losses of affiliates” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. This goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis using a three-year estimated useful life.

      In the first quarter of 2000, DoubleClick recorded the effects of ValueClick’s initial public offering of 4.0 million shares of common stock at $19.00 per share. ValueClick’s net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and direct offering costs, were approximately $68.6 million. As a result of this offering, DoubleClick’s ownership interest was reduced from 33.0% to 28.1% and the value of its proportionate share of ValueClick’s net assets increased. DoubleClick recorded an increase in the value of its investment in ValueClick of $12.9 million, reduced the carrying amount of treasury stock to approximately $23.8 million and recognized a gain of approximately $8.9 million. This gain has been included in “Gain on equity transactions of affiliates, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

      In the third quarter of 2000, DoubleClick management determined that the remaining exercise period of its warrant to purchase approximately 10.8 million additional common shares of ValueClick was not a sufficient period to allow for the price of ValueClick common stock to move above the warrant’s strike price. The application of an option-pricing model confirmed that the estimated fair value of the ValueClick warrant was negligible. As a result, DoubleClick wrote off the entire value of the warrant and recognized an impairment charge of approximately $18.7 million. This charge has been reflected as “Write-down of warrant” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

      In the third quarter of 2000, DoubleClick recognized its proportionate share of the gain resulting from the initial public offering of ValueClick Japan, a consolidated subsidiary of ValueClick. Pursuant to SAB 51, ValueClick recognized a gain to the extent that a portion of its interest was deemed sold through the offering at a price higher than its original basis. DoubleClick’s proportionate share of this gain, approximately $3.9 million, has been included in “Equity in losses of affiliates” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

      In light of the steady decline in the market price of ValueClick’s common stock since its initial public offering, DoubleClick management made an assessment of the carrying value of its investment in ValueClick in the fourth quarter of 2000 and determined that it was in excess of its estimated fair value. Consequently, DoubleClick wrote down its investment in ValueClick and recognized an impairment charge of approximately $24.1 million, which represented the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of its investment in ValueClick. This impairment has been recorded as “Impairment of investments in affiliates” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimated fair value of DoubleClick’s investment in ValueClick was determined based on the closing market price of ValueClick common stock on December 1, 2000.

DOUBLECLICK INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      In the first quarter of 2001, DoubleClick recorded the effects of ValueClick’s issuance of approximately 5.7 million shares to complete a purchase acquisition of Bach Systems, Inc. (“Bach Systems”) and to consummate a pooling of interests merger with ClickAgents.com, Inc. (“ClickAgents”). DoubleClick has treated the ValueClick’s pooling with ClickAgents as a book value purchase of ClickAgents by ValueClick. As a result of these transactions, DoubleClick’s ownership interest was reduced from 28.1% to 23.5% and the value of its proportionate share of ValueClick’s net assets decreased. DoubleClick recorded a decrease in the value of its investment in ValueClick of $3.8 million, reduced the carrying value of treasury stock to approximately $15.3 million and recognized a loss of approximately $3.8 million. This loss has been included in “Gain on equity transactions of affiliates, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, ValueClick may issue additional shares of common stock to the former shareholders of Bach Systems if certain performance objectives are achieved over the eight quarters following the closing date.

      In the second quarter of 2001, DoubleClick recorded the effects of ValueClick’s issuance of approximately 2.7 million shares to complete its pooling of interest merger with Z Media, Inc. As a result of the merger, DoubleClick’s ownership interest in ValueClick was reduced from 23.5% to 21.7% and the value of its proportionate share of ValueClick’s net assets decreased. Pursuant to its accounting policy, DoubleClick recorded a decrease in the value of its investment in ValueClick of $1.8 million, reduced the carrying amount of treasury stock to $14.2 million and recognized a loss of approximately $1.5 million. This loss has been included in “Gain on equity transactions of affiliates, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

      In the second quarter of 2001, ValueClick sold the remaining 567,860 shares of DoubleClick common stock it owned to third parties. DoubleClick recorded an increase in the value of its investment in ValueClick of approximately $1.5 million, which was equal to its proportionate share of the cash proceeds from the sale. Also as a result of this transaction, DoubleClick reduced the carrying amount of treasury stock to zero and recognized a charge to retained earnings of approximately $12.7 million, which represented the difference between the treasury shares’ original basis and the cash proceeds from the sale.

      In response to the prolonged downturn of the economy in general, and the continued weakness in aggregate online advertising spending in particular, DoubleClick management undertook a review of the recoverability of certain of its investments in the third quarter of 2001. Noting the continued fall in the price of ValueClick stock, management determined that its investment in ValueClick was impaired. Consequently, DoubleClick wrote down its investment in ValueClick and recognized an impairment charge of approximately $11.7 million, which represented the difference between DoubleClick’s carrying value and the estimated fair value of its investment in ValueClick. The estimated fair value of DoubleClick’s investment in ValueClick was determined based on the closing market price of ValueClick stock on September 30, 2001. This charge has been included in “Impairment of investments in affiliates” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

      In the fourth quarter of 2001, DoubleClick recorded the effects of ValueClick’s issuance of approximately 0.6 million shares to the former shareholders of Bach Systems upon the achievement of certain performance objectives. As a result of this issuance, DoubleClick’s ownership interest was reduced from 21.7% to 21.3% and the value of its proportionate share of ValueClick’s net assets decreased. DoubleClick recorded a decrease in the value of its investment in ValueClick of $0.3 million and recognized a loss of approximately $0.3 million. This loss has been included in Gain on equity transactions of affiliates, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

      Also in the fourth quarter of 2001, DoubleClick recorded the effects of ValueClick’s issuance of approximately 14.9 million shares to complete its purchase acquisition of Mediaplex, Inc. As a result of the merger, DoubleClick’s ownership interest was reduced from 21.3% to 15.2% and the value of its proportionate share of ValueClick’s net assets decreased. DoubleClick recorded a decrease in the value of its investment in ValueClick of $0.1 million and recognized a loss of approximately $0.1 million. This loss has been included in “Gain on equity transactions of affiliates, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      For the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, DoubleClick recognized approximately $0.7 million and $9.1 million, respectively, of goodwill amortization associated with its investment in ValueClick.

      As a result of the cumulative dilutive effects of the transactions described above, DoubleClick does not believe that it was able to exercise significant influence over its investment in ValueClick as of December 31, 2001. Accordingly, DoubleClick no longer record its proportionate share of ValueClick’s results but instead carry this investment at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. DoubleClick’s investment in ValueClick is included in “Investment in affiliates” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

      In the fourth quarter of 2002 DoubleClick entered into a repurchase agreement with ValueClick whereby ValueClick repurchased all of the remaining 7.9 million shares for $21.3 million or approximately $2.70 per share. DoubleClick recognized a gain of $4.7 million from the sale of the investment, which has been included in “Gain on sale of investments in affiliates” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 9 — Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

      The persistence of unfavorable economic conditions led DoubleClick management to undertake a review of the recoverability of certain of its investments in the third quarter of 2001. As a result of significantly lower-than-expected revenues generated to date and considerably reduced estimates of future performance, management concluded that its investments in @plan.inc (“@plan”) and Flashbase, Inc. (“Flashbase”) were impaired. Accordingly, DoubleClick recognized an approximately $63.3 million impairment charge equal to the difference between its investments in and the estimated fair value of these entities in the third quarter of 2001. Of this amount, approximately $53.3 million related to @plan and $10.0 million related to Flashbase.

      The amount of the goodwill impairment was calculated based on discounted analyses of these entities’ expected future cash flows, which were no longer deemed adequate, to support the value of the goodwill associated with these investments. In both cases, sharply-reduced estimates of anticipated revenue growth and operating results, triggered primarily by the continued softness in aggregate online advertising spending, generated correspondingly lowered expectations of future cash flows and formed the basis for the recording of the charge in the third quarter of 2001.

      These businesses’ expected future cash flows and terminal values are based on management’s budgeted forecasts and estimates. In its calculation to determine the impairment charge for its investment in @plan, DoubleClick used a discount rate of 15% and assumed a remaining useful life of 2.5 years, which represented the remaining useful life of the goodwill associated with this investment. In its calculation to determine the impairment charge for Flashbase, DoubleClick used a discount rate of 15% and a useful life of 1.75 years, which represented the remaining useful life of the goodwill associated with this investment.

      In connection with DoubleClick’s decision to sell its European Media operations, management determined that the estimated fair value of the consideration it would receive pursuant to the sale agreement would

74

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

be less than the carrying value of its European Media operations. As a result, management concluded that its investment in its European Media operations was impaired. DoubleClick recorded a charge of approximately $8.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2001, which represented the difference between the estimated fair value of the consideration to be received and the carrying value of the net assets to be sold.

      In 2002, based upon the prolonged softness in the economy and the current and projected operational performance of DoubleClick’s email reporting unit, DoubleClick initiated a third-party valuation of its email reporting unit to determine whether the recorded balance of goodwill related to this reporting unit was recoverable. The outcome of this valuation resulted in an impairment charge of approximately $43.8 million being recorded during the year. The fair market value of the email reporting unit was determined based on revenue projections, recent transactions involving similar businesses and price/revenue multiples at which they were bought and sold, and price/revenue multiples of our competitors in the email marketplace. In addition, DoubleClick also determined that the fair value of certain intangibles assets were considered impaired. DoubleClick recorded an impairment charge of $3.3 million based on the difference between the carrying value and estimated fair value of certain intangible assets also associated with the email reporting unit.

NOTE 11 — Convertible Subordinated Notes

      On March 17, 1999, DoubleClick issued 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006 with a principal amount of $250 million (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes are convertible into DoubleClick common stock at a conversion price of $41.25 per share, subject to adjustment at the occurrence of certain events and at the holder’s option. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The Convertible Notes are unsecured and are subordinated to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Convertible Notes indenture) of DoubleClick. If the closing sales price of DoubleClick common stock exceeds 140% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days in any consecutive 30 trading day period, or anytime after March 15, 2003, the Convertible Notes may be redeemed at the option of DoubleClick, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices set forth in the Convertible Notes indenture.

      Upon occurrence of a change of control of DoubleClick or if DoubleClick’s common stock is no longer listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market’s National Market, a United States national securities

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

exchange or an established automated over the counter trading market in the United States prior to maturity of the Convertible Notes, each holder of the Convertible Notes has the right to require DoubleClick to redeem all or any part of the holder’s Convertible Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest, of the Convertible Notes being redeemed.

      Interest expense relating to the Convertible Notes was approximately $10.3 million, $11.6 million and $11.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

      In the second half of 2001, DoubleClick repurchased approximately $30.3 million of its outstanding 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes for approximately $21.9 million in cash. DoubleClick wrote off approximately $0.2 million in deferred issuance costs and recognized a gain of approximately $8.2 million.

      In the third quarter of 2002, DoubleClick repurchased $64.9 million of its outstanding 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes for approximately $53.6 million in cash, inclusive of $1.2 million of accrued interest payable. DoubleClick wrote off approximately $0.7 million in deferred issuance costs and recognized a gain of approximately $11.9 million.

NOTE 12 — Stockholders’ Equity

      DoubleClick’s Certificate of Incorporation authorizes 400,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock and authorizes 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

      Pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated February 17, 2000, DoubleClick completed a public offering of 7,500,000 shares of its common stock, of which DoubleClick sold 5,733,411 shares and certain stockholders sold 1,766,589 shares. DoubleClick’s net proceeds were approximately $502.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses.

      Certain holders of common stock are subject to substantial restrictions on transfer and also have certain “piggyback” and demand registration rights which, with certain exceptions, require DoubleClick to use its best efforts to include in any of DoubleClick’s registration statements any shares requested to be so included. Further, DoubleClick will pay all expenses directly incurred on its behalf in connection with such registration.

Stock splits

      In April 1999 and January 2000, DoubleClick effected two-for-one stock splits in the form of 100 percent stock dividends. The splits were approved for shareholders of record as of March 22, 1999 and December 31, 1999, respectively. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts presented in these consolidated financial statements and related notes have been restated to reflect these stock splits.

Stock repurchase plan

      In September 2001, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program that permitted the repurchase of up to $100 million of outstanding DoubleClick common stock or convertible subordinated notes over a one-year period. During the year ended December 31, 2001, DoubleClick purchased 765,000 shares of its common stock at an average price of $5.84 per share. In the third quarter of 2002, DoubleClick purchased 915,500 shares of its common stock at an average price of $4.90 per share.

Employee stock purchase plan

      Under the DoubleClick Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which became effective on April 3, 2000, participating employees may purchase shares of DoubleClick common stock at 85% of its fair market value at the beginning or end of an offering period, whichever is lower, through payroll deductions in an amount not to exceed 10% of an employee’s base compensation. For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, DoubleClick issued 175,166 and 243,961 shares respectively, pursuant to its ESPP. An additional 2,295,472 shares were reserved for issuance at December 31, 2002.

Stock purchase warrants

      In connection with its acquisition of @plan in February 2001, DoubleClick assumed 99,495 stock purchase warrants. These warrants each represent the right to purchase, until May 26, 2006, one share of DoubleClick common stock at an exercise price of $28.14 per share. As of December 31, 2002, none of these warrants have been exercised.

      In connection with its acquisition of FloNetwork in April 2001, DoubleClick assumed 7,452 stock purchase warrants. These warrants each represent the right to purchase, until September 22, 2007, one share of DoubleClick common stock at an exercise price of $27.13 per share. As of December 31, 2002, none of these warrants have been exercised.

      At December 31, 2002, DoubleClick had 106,947 stock purchase warrants outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $28.07. At December 31, 2002, the weighted-average remaining contractual life of these warrants was approximately 3.5 years.

Stock incentive plan

      The 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1997 Plan” or the “Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors on November 7, 1997 and was subsequently approved by the stockholders.

      Under the 1997 Plan, 37,548,162 shares of common stock have been authorized for the issuance of incentive and nonqualified stock options as of December 31, 2002. In addition, 10,866,138 shares of common stock are available for future grants under the 1997 Plan as of December 31, 2002. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 1997 Plan automatically increases on the first trading day of each calendar year, by an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar year, provided that no such increase will exceed 2,400,000 shares.

      Generally, options granted under the Plan vest ratably over a period of three to four years from the date of grant and expire 10 years from the date of grant and terminate, to the extent unvested, on the date of termination, and to the extent vested, generally at the end of the three-month period following the termination of employment. To the extent that an option grant permits the exercise of unvested shares and is subject to repurchase by DoubleClick upon an employee’s termination of service, those unvested shares of common stock that are subsequently repurchased by DoubleClick, whether at the exercise price or direct issue paid per share, will be added to the reserve of common stock available for issuance under the 1997 Plan. In no event, however, may any one participant in the 1997 Plan receive option grants or direct stock issuances for more than 1,500,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate per calendar, beginning with the 1998 calendar year.

      In October 1999, DoubleClick implemented the 1999 Non-Officer Stock Incentive Plan, pursuant to which 750,000 shares of common stock have been authorized for issuance. As of December 31, 2002 no shares have been issued under this plan.

revenue objectives for the year ended December 31, 2001. In May 2001, DoubleClick agreed to pay the former shareholders the minimum consideration they were entitled to receive for the 2001 fiscal year under the terms of the original agreement. As a result, DoubleClick recognized approximately $15.2 million in non-cash compensation expense, which represented the remaining unaccrued portion of this accelerated payment.

 
Note 14 — Restructuring Charges

2000 Restructuring

      In December 2000, management took certain actions to reduce employee headcount in order to better align its sales, development and administrative organization. This involved the involuntary terminations of approximately 180 employees. As a consequence, DoubleClick recorded a $2.4 million charge to operations during the fourth quarter of 2000 related to payments for severance as well as the costs of outplacement services and the provision of continued benefits to terminated personnel. As of December 31, 2000, approximately $1.2 million of the $2.4 million charge remained accrued in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities”. In 2001, the remainder of the 2000 restructuring charge was paid.

2001 Restructuring

      Throughout 2001, DoubleClick’s management took certain actions to increase operational efficiencies and bring costs in line with revenues. These measures included the involuntary terminations of approximately 605 employees, primarily from our Media and TechSolutions divisions, as well as the consolidation of some of our leased office space and the closure of several of our offices. As a consequence, we recorded an $84.2 million charge to operations during the year of 2001. This charge included approximately $10.4 million for severance-related payments to terminated employees, approximately $51.7 million for the accrual of future lease costs (net of estimated sublease income and deferred rent liabilities previously recorded), approximately $19.5 million for the write-off of fixed assets situated in office locations that were closed or consolidated, and approximately $2.6 million in other exit costs, which included consulting and professional fees related to the restructuring activities and expenses associated with the decision to move the TechSolutions customer support department from New York to Colorado. These fixed asset impairments arose primarily from the write-off of the carrying values of leasehold improvements in offices in New York, San Francisco and London that were abandoned as part of the restructuring activities. As of December 31, 2001, approximately $15.0 million and $34.6 million remained accrued in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities”, respectively.

2002 Restructuring

      During 2002, management took additional steps to realign its sales, development and administrative organization and reduce corporate overhead to position DoubleClick for profitable growth in the future consistent with management’s long-term objectives. This involved the involuntary termination of approximately 250 employees, primarily from our TechSolutions division, as well as charges for excess real estate space and the closure of several offices. As a consequence, DoubleClick recorded a charge of $98.4 million to operations during the year, of which $94.0 million and $4.4 million have been classified in operating expenses and cost of revenue, respectively. The charge primarily related to payments for severance of approximately $5.7 million, the accrual of future lease costs (net of estimated sublease income and deferred rent liabilities previously accrued) of approximately $77.0 million, and the write-off of fixed assets situated in closed or abandoned offices of approximately $15.7 million. The accrual for future lease costs and the write-off of fixed assets were primarily related to our New York office. These charges were driven by the abandonment of additional space, reductions in the estimates of future sublease income, as well as the lengthening of the time required to find a sublease tenant. In addition, management decided to move our data center operations from New York to our Thornton, Colorado facility. As a result, DoubleClick recorded a charge of $4.4 million to

79


 

DOUBLECLICK INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

cost of revenue relating to the write-off of related fixed assets. As of December 31, 2002, approximately $36.1 million and $71.0 million remained accrued in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities”, respectively.

      In determining the restructuring charge associated with its future lease commitments, DoubleClick engaged a third party real estate firm to provide it with estimates of the expected future sublease income for its excess and idle space, which also includes an estimate of the time period required to identify sublessees. This analysis was performed based on the current real estate market conditions in the local markets where DoubleClick’s facilities are located. This real estate firm also provided estimates of lease termination/buyout fees landlords may charge to terminate existing leases rather than subleasing idle and excess space. DoubleClick’s restructuring charge relating to future lease commitments is based on its review of this information. Should market conditions or other circumstances change, this information may be updated and additional charges may be required.

      DoubleClick has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets for the year ended December 31, 2002 since management believes that after considering all the available objective evidence, both positive and negative, historical and prospective, with greater weight given to historical evidence, it is not more likely than not that these assets will be realized.

      At December 31, 2002, DoubleClick had domestic and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $461.2 million. The federal net operating loss carryforward was $415.9 million. Approximately $332.6 million of these net operating loss carryforwards relate to the exercise of employee stock options and any tax benefit derived therefrom, when realized, will be accounted for as a credit to additional paid-in capital rather than a reduction to the income tax provision. Approximately $43.8 million of net operating loss carryforwards were acquired in various corporate acquisitions and any tax benefit derived therefrom, when realized, will be accounted for as a credit to goodwill or other acquired intangible assets rather than a reduction to the income tax provision. In addition, DoubleClick had $42.1 million of capital loss carryforwards and $4.0 million of research tax credit carryforwards. The federal net operating loss and research tax credit carryforwards expire in various years beginning in 2012, while the capital loss carryforwards expire in various years beginning in 2007. The utilization of a portion of the net operating loss, capital loss, and research tax credit carryforwards may be subject to limitations under U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income tax laws.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      Operating lease obligations primarily represent rental payments for office facilities. At December 31, 2002 DoubleClick has recorded restructuring reserves and assumed liabilities in connection with the acquisitions totaling approximately $120 million relating to excess and abandoned space at these facilities.

      In addition, DoubleClick had outstanding standby letters of credit of $19.1 million. These letters of credit collateralize DoubleClick’s obligations to third parties under certain operating leases.

Legal

      In April 2002, a consolidated amended class action complaint alleging violations of the federal securities laws in connection with DoubleClick’s follow-on offerings was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York naming as defendants DoubleClick, some of its officers and directors and certain underwriters of DoubleClick’s follow-on offerings. In October 2002, the action was dismissed against the named officers and directors without prejudice. However, claims against the Company remain. In July 2002, the Company and the other issuers in the consolidated cases filed motions to dismiss the amended complaint for failure to state a claim, which was denied as to the Company in February 2003. DoubleClick intends to dispute these allegations and defend this lawsuit vigorously.

NOTE 19 — Segment Reporting

      DoubleClick is organized into three segments: Technology (or “TechSolutions”), Data and Media. As a result of a series of transactions in 2002, DoubleClick was fully divested of its Media operations as of December 31, 2002. Accordingly, DoubleClick will not report a DoubleClick Media segment in the future. Following the sale of the European Media Business on January 28, 2002 and North American Media business on July 10, 2002, the Media operations consisted only of the investment in DoubleClick Japan. On December 26, 2002 DoubleClick reduced its ownership percentage in DoubleClick Japan and will no longer consolidate their results of operations. See Note 3, “Investment in DoubleClick Japan.”

      Revenues and gross profit by segment are as follows:

      The accounting policies of DoubleClick’s segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment revenues, which relate primarily to DART and Data transfer fees and the research consulting fees charged by @plan, are valued at approximately the same rates charged to external customers. DART and Data transfer fees are recognized as revenue by TechSolutions and Data,

respectively, and as costs of revenue by DoubleClick’s other business units in the computation of segment gross profit. Correspondingly, these transfer fees have no net impact on the determination of consolidated gross profit. The revenues generated from intersegment research consulting services are included as a component of Data’s gross profit and are classified as operating expenses of DoubleClick’s other business units. All such intersegment amounts are eliminated in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

EX-10.6 3 y84350exv10w6.txt SAN FRANCISCO LEASE EXHIBIT 10.6 LEASE This LEASE, which includes the preceding Summary Information and Definitions ("SUMMARY") attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference ("Lease"), is made as of the _____ day of March, 2000, by and between LNR-LENNAR BRANNAN STREET, LLC, a California limited liability company limited liability company ("Landlord"), and DOUBLECLICK, INC., a Delaware corporation ("TENANT"). 1. PREMISES. 1.1. PREMISES. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the Premises described in Section 1.5 of the Summary above, improved or to be improved with the Tenant Improvements. Such lease is upon, and subject to, the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth and each party covenants, as a material part of the consideration for this Lease, to keep and perform their respective obligations under this Lease. The term "Premises" shall only include Premises A and/or Premises B as and when such portions of the Premises are delivered to Tenant in accordance with the terms hereof. 1.2. LANDLORD'S RESERVATION OF RIGHTS. Provided Tenant's use of and access to the Premises is not interfered with in an unreasonable manner, and subject to the terms of this Lease, Landlord reserves for itself the right from time to time to enter the Premises to perform any obligations or exercise any rights of Landlord set forth in this Lease. 1.3. MEASUREMENT OF PREMISES. As used in this Lease, the term "RENTABLE AREA" or "RENTABLE SQUARE FOOTAGE" means the "Total Rentable Area" (and not the "Gross Measured Area" or the "Building Rentable Area") measured in accordance with ANSI/BOMA Z65.1 - 1996 (the "BOMA Standard"). The parties stipulate that for all purposes of this Lease, the Total Rentable Area of the Premises is 117,000 rentable square feet. 2. TERM. 2.1. TERM; NOTICE OF LEASE DATES. The Term of this Lease as to Premises A and Premises B, respectively, shall be for the period designated in Section 1.6 of the Summary commencing on the Premises B Commencement Date (as determined pursuant to Exhibit "C"), and ending on the expiration of such periods, unless the Term is sooner terminated as provided in this Lease. If the Premises B Commencement Date falls on any day other than the first day of a calendar month then the term of this Lease will be measured from the first day of the month following the month in which the Premises B Commencement Date occurs. Within ten (10) days after Landlord's written request, Tenant shall execute a written confirmation of the Premises A Commencement Date, the Premises B Commencement Date and the expiration date of the Term in substantially the form of the Notice of Lease Term Dates attached hereto as Exhibit "D". The Notice of Lease Term Dates shall be binding upon Tenant unless Tenant objects thereto in writing within such ten (10) day period. 2.2. ESTIMATED COMMENCEMENT DATE. It is estimated by the parties that the Term of this Lease will commence on the Premises A Estimated Commencement Date set forth in Section 1.7 of the Summary. The Estimated Commencement Date is merely an estimate of the Premises A Commencement Date and, consequently, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any loss or damage, nor shall Tenant be entitled to terminate or cancel this Lease if the Term of this Lease does not commence by the Estimated Premises A Commencement Date for any reason whatsoever, including any delays in substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements. 2.3. EARLY OCCUPANCY. Tenant shall have the right to enter upon the Premises for up to thirty (30) days prior to the Premises A Commencement Date and the Premises B Commencement Date, respectively, for purposes of installing Tenant's furniture, fixtures and equipment and data, voice and computer cabling ("TENANT'S WORK") in the applicable portion of the Premises. Tenant's Work shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense. If Tenant occupies the Premises prior to either Commencement Date, such early occupancy shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including, without limitation, the provisions of Sections 17, 20 and 22, except that provided Tenant does not commence the operation of business from the Premises A or Premises B, as applicable, Tenant will not be obligated to pay Monthly Basic Rent or any additional rent during the period of such early occupancy. Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with prior notice of any such intended early occupancy and to cooperate with Landlord during the period of any such early occupancy so as not to interfere with Landlord in the completion of any improvements to the Premises constructed pursuant to Exhibit "C". 3. RENT. 3.1. BASIC RENT. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as basic rent for the Premises, the Monthly Basic Rent in the amounts designated in Section 1.8 of the Summary. The Monthly Basic Rent shall be paid by Tenant in monthly installments in the amounts designated in Section 1.8 of the Summary in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term, without demand, notice, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, without any deduction or offset except that the first full month's Monthly Basic Rent for Premises A shall be paid upon Tenant's execution and delivery of this Lease to Landlord. Monthly Basic Rent for any partial month shall be prorated in the proportion that the number of days this Lease is in effect during such month bears to the actual number of days in such month. 3.2. ADDITIONAL RENT. All amounts and charges payable by Tenant under this Lease in addition to the Monthly Basic Rent described in Section 3.1 above (including, without limitation, payments for insurance, repairs and parking, and Tenant's Percentage of Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and Insurance Costs, respectively) shall be considered additional rent for the purposes of this Lease, and the word "RENT" in this Lease shall include such additional rent unless the context specifically or clearly implies that only the Monthly Basic Rent is referenced. All additional rent shall be prorated to the extent any charges are applicable to any periods outside the Term of this Lease and shall also be prorated for Tenant's partial occupancy for the portion of the Term prior to the Premises B Commencement Date. The Monthly Basic Rent and additional rent shall be paid to Landlord as provided in Section 7, without any prior demand therefor and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, without any deduction or offset whatever, in lawful money of the United States of America. 4. REAL PROPERTY TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS; INSURANCE COSTS. 4.1. DEFINITION OF REAL PROPERTY TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS. All Real Property Taxes and Assessments shall be adjusted to reflect an assumption that the Building is fully assessed for real property tax purposes as a completed building(s) ready for occupancy. As used in this Lease, the term "REAL PROPERTY TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS" shall mean: any form of assessment, license fee, license tax, business license fee, commercial rental tax, levy, charge, improvement bond, tax, water and sewer rents and charges, utilities and communications taxes and charges or similar or dissimilar imposition imposed by any authority having the direct power to tax, including any city, county, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural, lighting, drainage or other improvement or special assessment district thereof, or any other governmental charge, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, which may be assessed against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Site and the Premises, including the following by way of illustration but not limitation: (a) any tax on Landlord's "right" to rent or "right" to other income from the Premises or as against Landlord's business of leasing the Premises; (b) any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real property tax including assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for -2- such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants. It is the intention of Tenant and Landlord that all such new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included within the definition of "real property taxes" for the purposes of this Lease; (c) any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the rent payable by Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation, any gross receipts tax or excise tax levied by state, city or federal government, or any political subdivision thereof, with respect to the receipt of such rent, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant, or any portion thereof but not on Landlord's other operations; (d) any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge upon this transaction or any document to which any tenant is a party, creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Building; and/or (e) any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge by any governmental agency related to any transportation plan, fund or system (including assessment districts) instituted within the geographic area of which the Building is a part. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1 above to the contrary, "Real Property Taxes and Assessments" shall not include Landlord's federal or state income, franchise, inheritance or estate taxes. If Tenant reasonably believes that the amount of any real property tax is improper for any reason, Tenant may notify Landlord in writing of Tenant's desire that such real property taxes be contested or challenged with the applicable taxing authority. Tenant shall indicate the basis for Tenant's contention that such taxes are improper in Tenant's notice to Landlord. Upon receipt of any such request from Tenant, Landlord shall have a period of thirty (30) days in which to notify Tenant of Landlord's election to either initiate a challenge or contest of such taxes or take no action with respect thereto. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of its election within such thirty (30) day period Landlord shall be deemed to have elected to take no action with respect to such taxes. If Landlord elects or is deemed to have elected to take no action with respect to any such disputed taxes, Tenant shall have the right to contest such taxes at Tenant's sole cost and expense provided Tenant notifies Landlord in writing that it has elected to contest such taxes on its own. In the event Tenant is successful in any such real property tax contest, and obtains for Landlord a refund or rebate of overpaid taxes, Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant out of such reimbursed or refunded amount, the actual and reasonable documented legal fees and expenses incurred by Tenant in prosecuting such tax contest. Tenant shall also receive a pro rata portion of any tax refund or rebate to the extent attributable to any portion of the Term for which Tenant paid taxes hereunder. 4.2. DEFINITION OF INSURANCE COSTS. As used in this Lease, "Insurance Costs" shall mean the cost of insurance obtained by Landlord pursuant to Section 21 (including self-insured amounts and deductibles) for the Project and the Premises, including the Tenant Improvements. 4.3. ESTIMATE STATEMENT. By the first day of April of each calendar year during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall endeavor to deliver to Tenant a statement ("ESTIMATE STATEMENT") estimating the Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and Insurance Costs for the current calendar year payable by Tenant. Landlord shall have the right no more than three (3) times in any calendar year to deliver a revised Estimate Statement for such calendar year if Landlord determines that the Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and Insurance Costs are greater than those set forth in the original Estimate Statement (or previously delivered revised Estimate Statement) for such calendar year. The Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and Insurance Costs shown on the Estimate Statement (or revised Estimate Statement, as applicable) shall be divided into twelve (12) equal monthly installments, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, concurrently with the regular monthly rent payment next due following the receipt of the Estimate Statement (or revised Estimate Statement, as applicable), an amount equal to one -3- (1) monthly installment of such Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and Insurance Costs multiplied by the number of months from January in the calendar year in which such statement is submitted to the month of such payment, both months inclusive (less any amounts previously paid by Tenant with respect to any previously delivered Estimate Statement or revised Estimate Statement for such calendar year). Subsequent installments shall be paid concurrently with the regular monthly rent payments for the balance of the calendar year and shall continue until the next calendar year's Estimate Statement (or current calendar year's revised Estimate Statement) is received. 4.4. ACTUAL STATEMENT. By the first day of April of each succeeding calendar year during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall endeavor to deliver to Tenant a statement ("ACTUAL STATEMENT") of the actual Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and Insurance Costs for the immediately preceding calendar year. If the Actual Statement reveals that Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and Insurance Costs were over-stated or under-stated in any Estimate Statement (or revised Estimate Statement) previously delivered by Landlord pursuant to Section 4.8 above, then within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Actual Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any such under-payment, or Landlord shall credit Tenant against the next monthly rent falling due, or, at Landlord's sole discretion, pay to Tenant the amount of such over-payment, as the case may be. Such obligation will be a continuing one which will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Prior to the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term and Landlord's acceptance of Tenant's surrender of the Premises, Landlord will have the right to estimate the actual Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and Insurance Costs for the then current Lease Year and to collect from Tenant prior to Tenant's surrender of the Premises, Tenant's Percentage of any excess of such actual Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and Insurance Costs over the estimated Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and Insurance Costs paid by Tenant in such Lease Year. Within ninety (90) days after the end of the calendar year in which the Term expires or is terminated, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant an Actual Statement of Real Property Taxes and Assessments and Insurance Costs for said calendar year. If such statement reveals that Tenant has previously paid more than Tenant's Percentage of actual Real Property Taxes and Assessments and Insurance Costs, Landlord shall refund to Tenant the amount of any over-payment concurrently with its delivery of the Actual Statement to Tenant. If the Actual Statement reveals that Tenant's payments of estimated Real Property Taxes and Assessments and Insurance Costs for the preceding calendar year were less than Tenant's Percentage of the actual Real Property Taxes and Assessments and Insurance Costs, then Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Actual Statement. The obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. 4.5. NO RELEASE. Any delay or failure by Landlord in delivering any Estimate or Actual Statement pursuant to this Section 4 shall not constitute a waiver of its right to receive Tenant's payment of Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and Insurance Costs, nor shall it relieve Tenant of its obligations to pay Real Property Taxes and Assessments, and Insurance Costs pursuant to this Section 4, except that Tenant shall not be obligated to make any payments based on such Estimate or Actual Statement until ten (10) business days after receipt of such statement. 5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. As security for the performance of certain obligations by Tenant under this Lease, prior to and as a condition of Landlord commencing the construction of the Base Building Improvements and the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall post a security deposit in the form of an irrevocable standby letter of credit ("LETTER OF CREDIT") in compliance with all provisions of this Paragraph 5. The Letter of Credit shall be in the amount specified in Section 1.11 of the Summary. The Letter of Credit shall reflect Landlord as beneficiary, be issued by a bank approved by Landlord, and shall be capable of being drawn upon at a location in Southern California. In all cases, the identity of the issuer of the Letter of Credit shall be subject to the approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The form of the Letter of Credit shall be subject to the review and approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the Letter of Credit shall contain language allowing Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit upon presentation to the issuer of the Letter of Credit Landlord's written statement that Landlord is entitled to all or any portion of the funds represented by such Letter of Credit in accordance -4- with the terms of this Lease. Landlord shall be entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit following the giving of notice of default and the expiration of the cure period in accordance with Section 23.1(b). Approval by Tenant prior to any drawing upon the Letter of Credit shall not be required. The Letter of Credit shall be for an original term of at least one (1) year and renewed annually thereafter until the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Commencement Date. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a replacement or substitute Letter of Credit meeting the requirements of this Paragraph 5 at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord. Provided Tenant is not then in monetary default beyond any applicable notice and cure period set forth in Section 23, the then amount of the Letter of Credit shall be reduced by $750,000 on each of the second (2nd) through eighth (8th) anniversaries of the Premises B Commencement Date such that the Letter of Credit amount shall have been reduced to $750,000 during the last two (2) years of the initial Term. Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord may draw upon the Letter of Credit after notice to Tenant upon the occurrence of any event of default (following the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period set forth in Section 23) in the payment of Monthly Basic Rent, Real Property Taxes and Assessments and Insurance Costs, but only so much of the Letter of Credit as is necessary to cure such default. In the event partial drawings are not permitted upon the Letter of Credit and Tenant defaults, Landlord may draw upon the full amount of the Letter of Credit, apply a portion of the funds so obtained by Landlord as authorized above in this Paragraph 5, retain the balance of the Letter of Credit proceeds and Tenant shall thereafter post additional cash funds with Landlord in an amount which will fully restore the Letter of Credit held in cash by Landlord to the amount required under this Paragraph 5, or Tenant shall post a substitute Letter of Credit representing the full amount of the Letter of Credit (in which event Landlord shall return the cash balance of the Letter of Credit proceeds upon receipt of the substitute Letter of Credit). In the event of a sale or other disposition of the Premises, Landlord may require that Tenant furnish to Landlord's transferee a substitute or amended Letter of Credit, naming such transferee as the beneficiary and otherwise in compliance with this Lease, provided Landlord returns to Tenant the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord. Tenant shall pay all fees and costs associated with such transfer. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Paragraph 5, should the Letter of Credit be revoked or should the creditworthiness of the issuer of the Letter of Credit become materially impaired (in Landlord's reasonable judgment), Landlord may require that Tenant, within thirty (30) days of Landlord's notice, post with Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit the full amount of the Security Deposit then required by this Lease. In such event, Landlord shall return to Tenant any Letter of Credit then in its possession.

Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for failure to perform any such maintenance, repairs or replacements, unless Landlord shall fail to make such maintenance, repairs or replacements and such failure shall continue for an unreasonable time following written notice from Tenant to Landlord of the need therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord shall fail to perform any of its repair obligations as provided herein, Tenant is authorized to make repairs as set forth below in this Section 11.2: (a) General Action. If Tenant provides notice (the "First Notice") to Landlord of an event or circumstance which pursuant to the terms of this Lease requires Landlord to repair any element of the Building or the Parking Structure (a "Required Action"), and Landlord fails to provide the Required Action within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's First Notice to perform such repair obligation (provided that if the nature of the Required Action is such that the same cannot be reasonably completed within a thirty (30) day period, Landlord's time period for completion shall not be deemed to have expired if Landlord diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and complete the Required Action, as soon as possible), then Tenant may proceed to take the Required Action, pursuant to the terms of this Lease, provided Tenant first delivers to Landlord a second notice specifying that Tenant will take the Required Action (the "Second Notice") and Landlord fails to take the Required Action within five (5) days after Landlord's receipt of the Second Notice. (b) Emergency Action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there exists an emergency such that the Building, the Parking Structure or any portion thereof are rendered untenantable and Tenant's personnel are forced to cease the use of such area and if Tenant gives Landlord notice (the -10- "Emergency Notice") of Tenant's intent to take action with respect thereto (the "Necessary Action") and the Necessary Action is also a Required Action, and the emergency could be cured by such Necessary Action, Tenant may take the Necessary Action if Landlord does not commence the Necessary Action within one (1) business day after the Emergency Notice (the "Emergency Cure Period") and thereafter uses its best efforts and due diligence to complete the Necessary Action as soon as possible. (c) Reimbursement for Action. If any Required Action or Necessary Action is taken by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Section then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for its reasonable and documented costs and expenses in taking the Required Action or Necessary Action within thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of an invoice from Tenant which sets forth a reasonably particularized breakdown of its costs and expenses in connection with taking the Required Action or Necessary Action on behalf of Landlord (the "Repair Invoice"). Subject to the foregoing, Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord's expense under any law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect (including the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1942 and any successive sections or statutes of a similar nature). 11.3. TENANT'S REPAIR OBLIGATIONS.

In addition, before proceeding with any Tenant Change, Tenant's contractors shall obtain, on behalf of Tenant and at Tenant's sole cost and expense all necessary governmental permits and approvals for the commencement and completion of such Tenant Change.

REMOVAL OF TENANT CHANGES AND TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. All Tenant Changes and the initial Tenant Improvements in the Premises (whether installed or paid for by Landlord or Tenant), shall become the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the end of the Term of this Lease; provided, however, Landlord may, by written notice delivered to Tenant at the time Landlord is notified of and/or approves any Tenant Change identify those items of the Tenant Changes which Landlord shall require Tenant to remove at the end of the Term of this Lease. If Landlord requires Tenant to remove any such items as described above, Tenant shall, at its sole cost, remove the identified items on or before the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease and repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal (or, at Landlord's option, shall pay to Landlord all of Landlord's costs of such removal and repair).

All articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises (including business and trade fixtures, furniture and moveable partitions) shall be, and remain, the property of Tenant, and shall be removed by Tenant from the Premises, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, on or before the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. Tenant shall promptly repair any damage caused by such removal; provided, however, Tenant shall not be obligated to repaint the affected area. 12.4. TENANT'S FAILURE TO REMOVE. If Tenant fails to remove by the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease all of its personal property, or any items of Tenant Improvements or Tenant Changes identified by Landlord for removal pursuant to Section 12.2 above, or if Tenant fails to comply with its obligations under Section 12.3, Landlord may, at its option, treat such failure as a hold over pursuant to Section 9.3 above, and/or may (without liability to Tenant for loss thereof, at Tenant's sole cost and in addition to Landlord's other rights and remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity: (a) remove and store such items in accordance with applicable law; and/or (b) upon ten (10) days' prior notice to Tenant, sell all or any such items at private or public sale for such price as Landlord may obtain as permitted under applicable law. Landlord shall apply the proceeds of any such sale to any amounts due to Landlord under this Lease from Tenant (including Landlord's attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in the removal, storage and/or sale of such items), with any remainder to be paid to Tenant. 13. LIENS. Tenant shall not permit any mechanic's, materialmen's or other liens to be filed against all or any part of the Project, the Site, the Building or the Premises, nor against Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises, by reason of or in connection with any repairs, alterations, improvements or other work -13- contracted for or undertaken by Tenant or any other act or omission of Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees. Tenant shall, at Landlord's request, provide Landlord with enforceable, unconditional and final lien releases (and other evidence reasonably requested by Landlord to demonstrate protection from liens) from all persons furnishing labor and/or materials with respect to the Premises. Landlord shall have the right at all reasonable times to post on the Premises and record any notices of non-responsibility which it deems necessary for protection from such liens. If any such liens are filed, Tenant shall, at its sole cost, immediately cause such lien to be released of record or bonded to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction so that it no longer affects title to the Project, the Site, the Building or the Premises. If Tenant fails to cause such lien to be so released or bonded within twenty (20) days after filing thereof, Landlord may, without waiving its rights and remedies based on such breach, and without releasing Tenant from any of its obligations, cause such lien to be released by any means it shall deem proper, including payment in satisfaction of the claim giving rise to such lien. Tenant shall pay to Landlord within five (5) days after receipt of invoice from Landlord, any sum paid by Landlord to remove such liens, together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date of such payment by Landlord. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO TENANT, OR TO ANYONE HOLDING THE PREMISES THROUGH OR UNDER TENANT, AND THAT NO MECHANICS' OR OTHER LIENS FOR ANY SUCH LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS SHALL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN THE PREMISES. 14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. 14.1. RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 14, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition, assign this Lease or any interest herein or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises by any party other than Tenant and its Affiliates (any such assignment, encumbrance, sublease, license or the like shall sometimes be referred to as a "TRANSFER"). In no event may Tenant encumber this Lease. Any Transfer without Landlord's consent (except for a Permitted Transfer pursuant to Section 14.2 below) shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease, and in addition to all of Landlord's other remedies at law, in equity or under this Lease, such Transfer shall be voidable at Landlord's election. In addition, this Lease shall not, nor shall any interest of Tenant herein, be assignable by operation of law without the written consent of Landlord. For purposes of this Section 14, other than with respect to a Permitted Transfer under Section 14.2 and transfers of stock of Tenant if Tenant is a publicly-held corporation and such stock is transferred publicly over a recognized security exchange or over-the-counter market, if Tenant is a corporation, partnership or other entity, any transfer, assignment, encumbrance or hypothecation of fifty percent (50%) or more (individually or in the aggregate) of any stock or other ownership interest in such entity, and/or any transfer, assignment, hypothecation or encumbrance of any controlling ownership or voting interest in such entity, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease and shall be subject to all of the restrictions and provisions contained in this Section 14. 14.2. PERMITTED CONTROLLED TRANSFERS. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 14.1 above to the contrary, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof (herein, a "PERMITTED TRANSFER"), without Landlord's consent and without extending any sublease or termination option to Landlord, and without any obligation to comply with Section 14.4(d), to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or to any corporation resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which acquires all the assets of Tenant's business as a going concern (each, an "Affiliate"), provided that: (a) at least ten (10) days prior to such assignment or sublease, Tenant delivers to Landlord the financial statements and other financial and background information of the assignee or sublessee described in Section 14.3 below; (b) if an assignment, the assignee assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant under this Lease (or if a sublease, the sublessee of a portion of the Premises or Term assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant with respect to such portion); (c) the financial net worth of the assignee is sufficient in Landlord's commercially reasonable discretion to permit the assignee to perform the obligations of the Tenant hereunder; (d) Tenant remains fully liable under this Lease; and (e) the use of the Premises under Article 6 remains unchanged. -14- 14.3. LANDLORD'S OPTIONS. If at any time or from time to time during the Term Tenant desires to effect a Transfer, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice ("TRANSFER NOTICE") setting forth the terms and provisions of the proposed Transfer and the identity of the proposed assignee, sublessee or other transferee (sometimes referred to hereinafter as a "TRANSFEREE"). Tenant shall also deliver to Landlord with the Transfer Notice, a current financial statement and financial statements for the preceding two (2) years of the Transferee which have been certified or audited by a reputable independent accounting firm acceptable to Landlord, and such other information concerning the business background and financial condition of the proposed Transferee as Landlord may reasonably request. Except with respect to a Permitted Transfer, Landlord shall have the option, exercisable by written notice delivered to Tenant within twenty (20) days after Landlord's receipt of the Transfer Notice, such financial statements and other information, either to: (a) approve or disapprove such Transfer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; or (b) if Tenant desires to sublease more than 70,200 rentable square feet, recapture and sublet from Tenant that portion of the Premises which Tenant has requested to sublease at the rental and on the other terms set forth in this Lease prorated for the portion of the Premises to be sublet and for the term set forth in Tenant's Notice, or, in the case of an assignment or encumbrance, terminate this Lease with respect to the entire Premises and recapture the Premises, which termination shall be effective thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's notice. If Landlord exercises its option to sublease any such space from Tenant following Tenant's request for Landlord's approval of the proposed sublease of such space, (i) Landlord shall be responsible for the construction of any partitions which Landlord reasonably deems necessary to separate such space from the remainder of the Premises, (ii) Landlord and any sub-subtenant or assignee of Landlord with respect to such subleased space shall have the right to use in common with Tenant all lavatories, corridors and lobbies which are within the Premises and which are reasonably required for the use of such space, and (iii) Tenant shall be released from all defaults and liability with respect to any subletting of such space by Landlord or the occupancy of such subleased space by any subtenant of Landlord. 14.4. ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS; EXCESS RENT. If for a Transfer other than a Permitted Transfer Landlord does not exercise its sublease or termination option and instead approves of the proposed Transfer pursuant to Section 14.3(a) above, Tenant may enter into the proposed Transfer with such proposed Transferee subject to the following further conditions: (a) the Transfer shall be on substantially the same terms set forth in the Transfer Notice delivered to Landlord (if the terms have materially changed, Tenant must submit a revised Transfer Notice to Landlord and Landlord shall have another twenty (20) days after receipt thereof to make the election in Sections 14.3(a) or 14.3(b) above); (b) no Transfer shall be valid and no Transferee shall take possession of the Premises until an executed counterpart of the assignment, sublease or other instrument affecting the Transfer has been delivered to Landlord pursuant to which the Transferee shall expressly assume all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease (or with respect to a sublease of a portion of the Premises or for a portion of the Term, all of Tenant's obligations applicable to such portion); (c) no Transferee shall have a further right to assign, encumber or sublet, except on the terms herein contained; and (d) fifty percent (50%) of any rent or other economic consideration received by Tenant as a result of such Transfer which exceeds, in the aggregate, the total rent which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to any portion of the Premises subleased), shall be paid to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt thereof as additional rental under this Lease, without affecting or reducing any other obligations of Tenant hereunder. -15- 14.5. REASONABLE DISAPPROVAL. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that Landlord's disapproval of any proposed Transfer (other than a Permitted Transfer) pursuant to Section 14.3(a) shall be deemed reasonably withheld if based upon any reasonable factor, including, without limitation, any or all of the following factors: (a) the proposed Transfer would result in a sublease of more than 70,200 rsf or more than two subleases per floor of the Premises being in effect at any one time during the Term; (b) the proposed Transferee is an existing tenant of the Project or is negotiating with Landlord (or has negotiated with Landlord in the last six (6) months) for space in the Project; (c) the proposed Transferee is a governmental entity; (d) the portion of the Premises to be sublet or assigned has inadequate means of ingress and egress; (e) the use of the Premises by the Transferee is not permitted by the use provisions in Section 6 hereof, (f) omitted; (g) the Transferee does not have the financial capability to fulfill the obligations imposed by the Transfer; or (h) the Transferee is not in Landlord's reasonable opinion of reputable or good character. 14.6. NO RELEASE. Except for any recapture of the Premises or any portion thereof under Section 14.3, no Transfer shall release Tenant of Tenant's obligations under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Landlord may require that any Transferee remit directly to Landlord on a monthly basis, all monies due Tenant by said Transferee, and each sublease shall provide that if Landlord gives said sublessee written notice that Tenant is in default under this Lease, said sublessee will thereafter make all payments due under the sublease directly to or as directed by Landlord, which payments will be credited against any payments due under this Lease. Tenant hereby irrevocably and unconditionally assigns to Landlord all rents and other sums payable under any sublease of the Premises; provided, however, that Landlord hereby grants Tenant a license to collect all such rents and other sums so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after the execution and delivery of any assignment or sublease, deliver a duplicate original copy there of to Landlord. However, the acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof. Consent by Landlord to one Transfer shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent Transfer. In the event of default by any Transferee of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such Transferee or successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments of the Lease or sublettings or amendments or modifications to the Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and any such actions shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease. 14.7. ADMINISTRATIVE AND ATTORNEYS' FEES. If Tenant effects a Transfer or requests the consent of Landlord to any Transfer, then Tenant shall, upon demand, pay Landlord a non-refundable administrative fee of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), plus any reasonable attorneys' and paralegal fees and costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such Transfer or request for consent (whether attributable to Landlord's in-house attorneys or paralegals or otherwise). Acceptance of the $500.00 administrative fee and/or reimbursement of Landlord's attorneys' and paralegal fees shall in no event obligate Landlord to consent to any proposed Transfer. 14.8. MATERIAL INDUCEMENT. Tenant understands, acknowledges and agrees that (a) Landlord's option to sublease from Tenant any space which Tenant proposes to sublease or terminate this Lease upon any proposed assignment or encumbrance of this Lease by Tenant as provided in Section 14.3(b) above rather than approve the proposed sublease, assignment or encumbrance, and (b) Landlord's right to receive fifty percent (50%) of any excess consideration paid by a Transferee in connection with an approved Transfer as provided in Section 14.4(d) above, are a material inducement for Landlord's agreement to lease the Premises to Tenant upon the terms and conditions herein set forth. 15. ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Landlord and its employees and agents shall at all reasonable times have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to exhibit the Premises to prospective lenders or purchasers (or during the last year of the Term, to prospective tenants), to post notices of non-responsibility, and/or to alter, improve or repair the Premises or any other portion of the Building or Project, all without being deemed guilty of or -16- liable for any breach of Landlord's covenant of quiet enjoyment or any eviction of Tenant, and without abatement of rent. In exercising such entry rights, Landlord shall endeavor to minimize, as reasonably practicable, the interference with Tenant's business, and shall provide Tenant with reasonable advance written notice of such entry (except in emergency situations and for scheduled services). For each of the foregoing purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults and safes, and Landlord shall have the means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises. Any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means or otherwise shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof, or grounds for any abatement or reduction of rent and Landlord shall not have any liability to Tenant for any damages or losses on account of any such entry by Landlord except, subject to the provisions of Section 22.1, to the extent of Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct. 16. UTILITIES. 16.1. UTILITIES. Tenant shall directly contract for service from any company or companies providing electricity, gas, water, and other utility service ("SERVICE Provider,") to the Premises. Landlord shall in no way be liable or responsible for any loss, damage, or expense that Tenant may sustain or incur by reason of any change, failure, interference, disruption, or defect in the supply or character of the utilities furnished to the Premises, or if the quantity or character of the utilities supplied by any Service Provider is no longer available or suitable for Tenant's requirements, no such change, failure, defect, unavailability, or unsuitability shall constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under the Lease. 16.2. TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS. Tenant shall cooperate fully at all times with Landlord, and abide by all reasonable regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the Building's services and systems. Tenant shall not use any apparatus or device in, upon or about the Premises which may in any way increase the amount of services or utilities beyond the capacities of the Building systems. Tenant shall not connect any conduit, pipe, apparatus or other device to the Building's water, waste or other supply lines or systems for any purpose without Landlord's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 16.3. FAILURE OF UTILITIES. In addition, in the event of the failure of any utilities to the Premises, Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent (except as expressly provided in Sections 18.3 and 19.2 if such failure is a result of a damage or taking described therein), no eviction of Tenant shall result, and Tenant shall not be relieved from the performance of any covenant or agreement in this Lease. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932(1) or any other applicable existing or future law, ordinance or governmental regulation permitting the termination of this Lease due to an interruption, failure or inability of any Service Provider to provide any services. 17. INDEMNIFICATION AND EXCULPATION. 17.1. TENANT'S ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND WAIVER. Except to the extent such matter is not covered by the insurance required to be maintained by Tenant under this Lease and such matter is attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, Tenant's employees, agents or invitees for: (i) any damage to property of Tenant, or of others, located in, on or about the Premises, nor for (ii) the loss of or damage to any property of Tenant or of others by theft or otherwise, (iii) any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water, rain or leaks from any part of the Premises or from the pipes, appliance of plumbing works or from the roof, street or subsurface or from any other places or by dampness or by any other cause of whatsoever nature, or (iv) any such damage caused by other tenants or persons in the Premises, occupants of adjacent property of the Project, or the public, or caused by operations in construction of any private, public or quasi-public work. Landlord shall in no event be liable to Tenant for any consequential damages or for loss of revenue or income and Tenant waives any and all claims for any such damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 17.1, all property -17- of Tenant, its agents, employees and invitees kept or stored on the Premises, whether leased or owned by any such parties, shall be so kept or stored at the sole risk of Tenant and Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from any claims arising out of damage to the same, including subrogation claims by Tenant's insurance carriers, unless such damage shall be caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Landlord or its agents shall not be liable for interference with the light or other intangible rights. 17.2. TENANT'S INDEMNIFICATION OF LANDLORD. Tenant shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord and Landlord's members, partners, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, "LANDLORD INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") harmless from and against, any and all claims, damages, judgments, suits, causes of action, losses, liabilities and expenses, including attorneys' fees and court costs (collectively, "INDEMNIFIED CLAIMS"), arising or resulting from (a) any occurrence at the Premises following the date Landlord delivers all or any portion of the Premises to Tenant, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors, (b) any act or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant's agents, employees, contractors, subtenants, assignees, licensees or with respect to acts or omissions within the Premises only, Tenant's invitees (collectively, "TENANT PARTIES"); (c) the use of the Premises and conduct of Tenant's business by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, or any other activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, in or about the Premises or elsewhere in the Project; and/or (d) any default by Tenant of any obligations on Tenant's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease or the terms of any contract or agreement to which Tenant is a party or by which it is bound, affecting this Lease or the Premises. The foregoing indemnification shall include, but not be limited to, any injury to, or death of, any person, or any loss of, or damage to, any property on the Premises, or on adjoining sidewalks, streets or ways, or connected with the use, condition or occupancy thereof, whether or not Landlord or its mortgagee has or should have knowledge or notice of the defect or conditions causing or contributing to such injury, death, loss or damage. In case any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord or any Landlord Indemnified Parties by reason of any such Indemnified Claims, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, shall defend the same at Tenant's expense by counsel approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided Landlord hereby approves any counsel engaged by Tenant's insurance carrier. 17.3. LANDLORD'S INDEMNIFICATION OF TENANT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Paragraph 17.2 or elsewhere in the Lease, Tenant shall not be required to protect, defend, save harmless or indemnify Landlord from any liability for injury, loss, accident or damage to any person resulting from Landlord's negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct or that of its agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees, in connection with Landlord's activities on or about the Premises, and Landlord hereby indemnifies and agrees to protect, defend and hold Tenant harmless from and against Indemnified Claims out of Landlord's negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct or those of its agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees in connection with Landlord's activities on or about the Premises to the extent that injuries are involved and any default by Landlord of Landlord's obligations under this Lease. Such exclusion from Tenant's indemnity and such agreement by Landlord to so indemnify and hold Tenant harmless are not intended to and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease to the extent that such policies cover (or, if such policies would have been carried as required, would have covered) the result of negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of Landlord or those of its agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees; provided, however, the provisions of this sentence shall in no way be construed to imply the availability of any double or duplicate coverage. Landlord's and Tenant's indemnification obligations hereunder may or may not be coverable by insurance, but the failure of either Landlord or Tenant to carry insurance covering the indemnification obligation shall not limit their indemnity obligations hereunder. 17.4. SURVIVAL; NO RELEASE OF INSURERS. The indemnification obligations under Section 17.2 and 17.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord's and Tenant's covenants, agreements and indemnification in Sections 17.1, 17.2 and 17.3 above are not intended to and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. -18- 18. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION. 18.1. LANDLORD'S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. In the event the Premises or any part thereof is damaged by fire or other casualty to an extent not exceeding sixty percent (60%) of the full replacement cost thereof, and Landlord's contractor estimates in a writing delivered to the parties that the damage thereto is such that the Premises may be repaired, reconstructed or restored to substantially its condition immediately prior to such damage within twelve (12) months from the date of such casualty, then Landlord shall commence and proceed diligently with the work of repair, reconstruction and restoration and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If, however, the Premises is damaged to an extent exceeding sixty percent (60%) of the full replacement cost thereof, or Landlord's contractor estimates that such work of repair, reconstruction and restoration will require longer than twelve (12) months to complete, or the damage is not covered by any Special Form (formerly known as "All Risk") policy of insurance and the damage exceeds the Landlord Uninsured Contribution Cap (as defined below), then Landlord may elect to either: (a) repair, reconstruct and restore the portion of the Premises damaged by such casualty (including the Tenant Improvements and, to the extent of insurance proceeds received from Tenant, Tenant Changes), in which case this Lease shall continue in full force and effect; or (b) terminate this Lease effective as of the date which is thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's election to so terminate; provided, however, if Landlord terminates this Lease because the uninsured damage exceeds the Landlord Uninsured Contribution Cap, Tenant may vitiate and render void Landlord's termination notice if Tenant shall notify Landlord within such thirty (30) day period that Tenant will pay the costs to repair such damage in excess of the Landlord Uninsured Contribution Cap to be paid by Landlord, in which event Landlord shall pay up to the Landlord Uninsured Contribution Cap towards restoration and Tenant shall pay all excess costs of restoration. For casualties occurring during the first five (5) years of the original Term, the Landlord Uninsured Contribution Cap is Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00); thereafter, the Landlord Uninsured Contribution Cap shall be reduced by Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) per year to Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000.00) as of the commencement of and through the balance of the tenth (10th) and final year of the initial ten (10) year Term; provided, however, that if Tenant exercises either or both of its Extension Options pursuant to Rider No. 1 to this Lease (including as a result of the operation of Section 18.5 below), the Landlord Uninsured Contribution Cap shall be increased and reinstated to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) effective upon the exercise of each such Extension Option and shall again thereafter be reduced by Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) per year to Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000.00) as of the commencement of and through the balance of the fifth (5th) and final year of the applicable Option Term. Under any of the conditions of this Section 18.1, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of its intention to repair or terminate within the later of forty-five (45) days after the occurrence of such casualty, or fifteen (15) days after Landlord's receipt of the estimate from Landlord's contractor. 18.2. TENANT'S COSTS AND INSURANCE PROCEEDS. In the event of any damage or destruction of all or any part of the Premises, Tenant shall immediately: (a) notify Landlord thereof; and (b) deliver to Landlord all insurance proceeds received by Tenant with respect to the Tenant Improvements and Tenant Changes in the Premises (excluding proceeds for Tenant's furniture and other personal property), whether or not this Lease is terminated as permitted in this Section 18, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all rights to receive such insurance proceeds. If, for any reason (including Tenant's failure to obtain insurance for the full replacement cost of any Tenant Changes which Tenant is required to insure pursuant to Sections 12.1(c) and/or 20.1(a) hereof), Tenant fails to receive insurance proceeds covering the full replacement cost of such Tenant Changes which are damaged, Tenant shall be deemed to have self-insured the replacement cost of such Tenant Changes, and upon any damage or destruction thereto, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord the full replacement cost of such items, less any insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord from Landlord's or Tenant's insurance with respect to such items. If Landlord elects not to restore the Premises and to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled to -19- recover from the proceeds of Tenant's insurance for the Premises or Landlord's insurance, as the case may be, the unamortized cost of: (i) any Tenant Changes and (ii) any Tenant Improvements to the extent paid for by Tenant (i.e., in excess of the Allowance provided by Landlord). 18.3. ABATEMENT OF RENT. In the event that as a result of any such damage, repair, reconstruction and/or restoration of the Premises, Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, then the rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, during the period that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using and does not use the Premises or portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable square feet of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if the damage is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Parties, there shall be no abatement of rent. Except for abatement of rent as provided hereinabove, Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages for loss of, or interference with, Tenant's business or use or access of all or any part of the Premises resulting from any such damage, repair, reconstruction or restoration. 18.4. INABILITY TO COMPLETE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 18, in the event Landlord is obligated or elects to repair, reconstruct and/or restore the damaged portion of the Premises pursuant to Section 18.1 above, but is delayed from completing such repair, reconstruction and/or restoration beyond the date which is six (6) months after the date estimated by Landlord's contractor for completion thereof pursuant to Section 18.1, by reason of any causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (including, without limitation, delays due to Force Majeure events as defined in Section 32.15, and delays caused by Tenant or any Tenant Parties), then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Tenant. 18.5. DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM. In addition to its termination rights in Sections 18.1 and 18.4 above, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease if any damage to the Premises occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term of this Lease and Landlord's contractor estimates in a writing delivered to the parties that the repair, reconstruction or restoration of such damage cannot be completed within the earlier of (a) the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term, or (b) sixty (60) days after the date of such casualty; provided, however, that if Tenant has properly exercised or then exercises Tenant's Extension Option pursuant to Rider No. 1, the provisions of this Section 18.5 shall not apply. 18.6. TENANT'S TERMINATION RIGHT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained elsewhere in this Lease, if (a) any repairs, reconstruction or restoration of the Premises undertaken by Landlord pursuant to this Section 18 are not completed within twelve (12) calendar months after the date of the casualty, subject to extension for any Tenant Delay or subsequently occurring Force Majeure Delay (but not for more than six (6) months), (b) the repairs and/or restoration are expected by Landlord's contractor to take longer than twelve (12) months to complete, or (c) the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term and cannot be restored within thirty (30) days, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord prior to Landlord's completion of such restoration (in the case of item (a) or prior to Landlord's commencement of such restoration in the case of item (b)). 18.7. WAIVER OF TERMINATION RIGHT. This Lease sets forth the terms and conditions upon which this Lease may terminate in the event of any damage or destruction. Accordingly, the parties hereby waive the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932, Subsection 2, and Section 1933, Subsection 4 (and any successor statutes thereof permitting the parties to terminate this Lease as a result of any damage or destruction). 19. EMINENT DOMAIN. 19.1. SUBSTANTIAL TAKING. Subject to the provisions of Section 19.4 below in case the whole of the Premises, or such part thereof as shall substantially interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises as reasonably determined by Landlord and Tenant, shall be taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by exercise of the right of appropriation, condemnation or -20- eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking, either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to said authority. 19.2. PARTIAL TAKING; ABATEMENT OF RENT. In the event of a taking of a portion of the Premises which does not substantially interfere with the conduct of Tenant's business, then, except as otherwise provided in the immediately following sentence, neither party shall have the right to terminate this Lease and Landlord shall thereafter proceed to make a functional unit of the remaining portion of the Premises, and rent shall be abated with respect to the part of the Premises which Tenant shall be so deprived on account of such taking. 19.3. CONDEMNATION AWARD. Subject to the provisions of Section 19.4 below, in connection with any taking of the Premises or Building, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award which may be made or given in such taking or condemnation, without deduction or apportionment for any estate or interest of Tenant, it being expressly understood and agreed by Tenant that no portion of any such award shall be allowed or paid to Tenant for any so-called bonus or excess value of this Lease, and such bonus or excess value shall be the sole property of Landlord. Tenant shall not assert any claim against Landlord or the taking authority for any compensation because of such taking (including any claim for bonus or excess value of this Lease); provided, however, if any portion of the Premises is taken, Tenant shall be granted the right to recover from the condemning authority (but not from Landlord) any compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for the taking of Tenant's furniture, fixtures, equipment and other personal property within the Premises, for Tenant's relocation expenses, and for any loss of goodwill or other damage to Tenant's business by reason of such taking. 19.4. TEMPORARY TAKING. In the event of a taking of the Premises or any part thereof for temporary use, (a) this Lease shall be and remain unaffected thereby and rent shall not abate, and (b) Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself such portion or portions of any award made for such use with respect to the period of the taking which is within the Term, provided that if such taking shall remain in force at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall perform its obligations under Section 9 with respect to surrender of the Premises and shall pay to Landlord the portion of any award which is attributable to any period of time beyond the Term expiration date. For purpose of this Section 19.4, a temporary taking shall be defined as a taking for a period of two hundred seventy (270) days or less. 19.5. WAIVER OF TERMINATION RIGHT. This Lease sets forth the terms and conditions upon which this Lease may terminate in the event of a taking. Accordingly, the parties waive the provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130 and any successor or similar statutes permitting the parties to terminate this Lease as a result of a taking. 20. TENANT'S INSURANCE. 20.1. TYPES OF INSURANCE. On or before the earlier of the Premises A Commencement Date or the date Tenant commences or causes to be commenced any work of any type in or on any portion of the Premises pursuant to this Lease, and continuing during the entire Term, Tenant shall obtain and keep in full force and effect, the following insurance: (a) Special Form (formerly known as All Risk) insurance, including fire and extended coverage, sprinkler leakage (including earthquake sprinkler leakage), vandalism, malicious mischief plus earthquake and flood coverage upon property of every description and kind owned by Tenant and located in the Premises or Building, or for which Tenant is legally liable or installed by or on behalf of Tenant including, without limitation, furniture, equipment and any other personal property, and any Tenant Changes (but excluding the initial Tenant Improvements previously existing or installed in the Premises), in an amount not less then the full replacement cost thereof. In the event that there shall be a dispute as to the amount which comprises full replacement cost, the decision of Landlord or the mortgagees of Landlord shall be presumptive. (b) Commercial general liability insurance coverage on an occurrence basis, including personal injury, bodily injury (including wrongful death), broad form property damage, operations hazard, -21- owner's protective coverage, contractual liability (including Tenant's indemnification obligations under this Lease, including Section 17 hereof), liquor liability (if Tenant serves alcohol on the Premises), products and completed operations liability, and owned/non-owned auto liability, with an initial combined single limit of liability of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00). The limits of liability of such commercial general liability insurance shall be increased every five (5) years during the Term of this Lease to an amount reasonably required by Landlord. (c) Worker's compensation and employer's liability insurance, in statutory amounts and limits, covering all persons employed in connection with any work done on or about the Premises for which claims for death or bodily injury could be asserted against Landlord, Tenant or the Premises. (d) Loss of income, extra expense and business interruption insurance in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings for a period of up to twelve (12) months attributable to all perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of access to the Premises, Tenant's parking areas or to the Building as a result of such perils. (e) Any other form or forms of insurance as Tenant or Landlord or the mortgagees of Landlord may reasonably require from time to time, in form, amounts and for insurance risks against which a prudent tenant would protect itself, but only to the extent such risks and amounts are available in the insurance market at commercially reasonable costs. 20.2. REQUIREMENTS. Each policy required to be obtained by Tenant hereunder shall: (a) be issued by insurers which are approved by Landlord and/or Landlord's mortgagees and are authorized to do business in the state in which the Building is located and rated not less than financial class X, and not less than policyholder rating A in the most recent version of Best's Key Rating Guide (provided that, in any event, the same insurance company shall provide the coverages described in Sections 20.1(a) and 20.1(d) above); (b) be in form reasonably satisfactory from time to time to Landlord; (c) name Tenant as named insured thereunder and shall name Landlord and, at Landlord's request, such other persons or entities of which Tenant has been informed in writing, as additional insureds thereunder, all as their respective interests may appear; (d) shall not have a deductible amount exceeding Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), which deductible amount shall be deemed self-insured with full waiver of subrogation; (e) specifically provide that the insurance afforded by such policy for the benefit of Landlord and any other additional insureds shall be primary, and any insurance carried by Landlord or any other additional insureds shall be excess and non-contributing; (f) contain an endorsement that the insurer waives its right to subrogation as described in Section 22 below; (g) require the insurer to notify Landlord (and any other additional insureds) in writing not less than thirty (30) days prior to any material change, reduction in coverage, cancellation or other termination thereof; (h) contain a cross liability or severability of interest endorsement; and (i) be in amounts sufficient at all times to satisfy any coinsurance requirements thereof. Each such policy shall also provide that any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding (i) any act or omission of Landlord or Tenant which might, absent such provision, result in a forfeiture of all or a part of such insurance payment, (ii) the occupation or use of the Premises for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the provisions of such policy, (iii) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by any mortgagee pursuant to any provision of the mortgage upon the happening of a default thereunder, or (iv) any change in title or ownership of the Premises. Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord, as soon as practicable after the placing of the required insurance, but in no event later than the date Tenant is required to obtain such insurance as set forth in Section 20.1 above, certified copies of each such insurance policy (or certificates from the insurance company evidencing the existence of such insurance and Tenant's compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 20). Tenant shall cause replacement policies or certificates to be delivered to Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such policy or policies. If any such initial or replacement policies or certificates are not furnished within the time(s) specified herein, Tenant shall be deemed to be in material default under this Lease without the benefit of any additional notice or cure period provided in Section 23.1 below, and Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to procure such policies and certificates at Tenant's expense. -22- 20.3. EFFECT ON INSURANCE. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which will (a) violate or invalidate any insurance policy maintained by Landlord or Tenant hereunder, or (b) increase the costs of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord pursuant to Section 21 or otherwise with respect to the Building or the Project. If Tenant's occupancy or conduct of its business in or on the Premises results in any increase in premiums for any insurance carried by Landlord with respect to the Building or the Project, Tenant shall pay such increase as additional rent within ten (10) days after being billed therefor by Landlord. If any insurance coverage carried by Landlord pursuant to Section 21 or otherwise with respect to the Building or the Project shall be cancelled or reduced (or cancellation or reduction thereof shall be threatened) by reason of the use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or by anyone permitted by Tenant to be upon the Premises, and if Tenant fails to remedy such condition within five (5) days after notice thereof, Tenant shall be deemed to be in default under this Lease, without the benefit of any additional notice or cure period specified in Section 23.1 below, and Landlord shall have all remedies provided in this Lease, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right (but not the obligation) to enter upon the Premises and attempt to remedy such condition at Tenant's cost. 21. LANDLORD'S INSURANCE. During the Term, Landlord shall insure the Premises and the Tenant Improvements initially installed in the Premises pursuant to Exhibit "C" (excluding, however, Tenant's furniture, equipment and other personal property and any Tenant Changes) against damage by fire and standard comprehensive, "All Risk" extended coverage perils and with vandalism and malicious mischief endorsements, rental loss coverage, plus earthquake damage coverage, and such additional coverage as Landlord deems appropriate on a replacement cost basis. Landlord shall also carry commercial general liability insurance, in such reasonable amounts and with such reasonable deductibles as would be carried by a prudent owner of a similar building in the state in which the Building is located. At Landlord's option, all such insurance may be carried under any blanket or umbrella policies which Landlord has in force for other buildings and projects. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, carry any other form or forms of insurance as Landlord or the mortgagees or ground lessors of Landlord may reasonably determine is advisable. The cost of insurance obtained by Landlord pursuant to this Section 21 (including self-insured amounts and deductibles) shall be included in Insurance Costs. 22. WAIVER OF CLAIMS; WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. 22.1. MUTUAL WAIVER OF PARTIES. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive their rights against each other with respect to any claims or damages or losses which are caused by or result from (a) any occurrence insured against under any insurance policy (other than the commercial general liability insurance) carried by Landlord or Tenant (as the case may be) pursuant to the provisions of this Lease and enforceable at the time of such damage or loss, or (b) any occurrence which would have been covered under any insurance (other than the commercial general liability insurance) required to be obtained and maintained by Landlord or Tenant (as the case may be) under Sections 20 and 21 of this Lease (as applicable) had such insurance been obtained and maintained as required therein. The foregoing waivers shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, any other waivers or releases contained in this Lease. 22.2. WAIVER OF INSURERS. Each party shall cause each insurance policy (other than the commercial general liability insurance) required to be obtained by it pursuant to Sections 20 and 21 to provide that the insurer waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against either Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, in connection with any claims, losses and damages covered by such policy. If either party fails to maintain any such insurance required hereunder, such insurance shall be deemed to be self-insured with a deemed full waiver of subrogation as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. 23. TENANT'S DEFAULT AND LANDLORD'S REMEDIES. 23.1. TENANT'S DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default under this Lease by Tenant: -23- (a) the abandonment of the Premises by Tenant. "ABANDONMENT" is herein defined to include, but is not limited to, any absence by Tenant from the Premises for ten (10) business days or longer while in default of any other provision of this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period set forth in this Section 23; (b) the failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or additional rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, when such failure continues for three (3) days after written notice thereof from Landlord that such payment was not received when due; (c) the failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified in Sections 23.1(a) or (b) above, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that, if the nature of Tenant's default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion, which completion shall occur not later than ninety (90) days from the date of such notice from Landlord; and (d) (i) the making by Tenant or any guarantor hereof of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ii) the filing by or against Tenant or any guarantor hereof of a petition to have Tenant or the guarantor adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against the Tenant or the guarantor, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days), (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease or of substantially all of the guarantor's assets, where possession is not restored to Tenant or the guarantor within sixty (60) days, or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease or of substantially all of the guarantor's assets where such seizure is not discharged within sixty (60) days. (e) any material representation or warranty made by Tenant in this Lease or any other document delivered in connection with the execution and delivery of this Lease or pursuant to this Lease proves to be incorrect in any material respect; and (f) Tenant shall be liquidated or dissolved or shall begin proceedings towards its liquidation or dissolution. Any notice sent by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Section 23 shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure, Section 1161. 23.2. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES; TERMINATION. In the event of any such default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease, then Landlord may recover from Tenant: (a) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus (b) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus -24- (d) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom including, but not limited to: unamortized Tenant Improvement costs; attorneys' fees; brokers' commissions; the costs of refurbishment, alterations, renovation and repair of the Premises; and removal (including the repair of any damage caused by such removal) and storage (or disposal) of Tenant's personal property, equipment, fixtures, Tenant Changes, Tenant Improvements and any other items which Tenant is required under this Lease to remove but does not remove. As used in Sections 23.2(a) and 23.2(b) above, the "WORTH AT THE TIME OF AWARD" is computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate set forth in Section 1.14 of the Summary. As used in Section 23.2(c) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). 23.3. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES; RE-ENTRY RIGHTS. In the event of any such default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed, stored and/or disposed of pursuant to Section 12.4 of this Lease or any other procedures permitted by applicable law. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Section 23.3, and no acceptance of surrender of the Premises or other action on Landlord's part, shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. 23.4. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES; CONTINUATION OF LEASE. In the event of any such default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the right to continue this Lease in full force and effect, whether or not Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises. The foregoing remedy shall also be available to Landlord pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.4 and any successor statute thereof in the event Tenant has abandoned the Premises. In the event Landlord elects to continue this Lease in full force and effect pursuant to this Section 23.4, then Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover rent as it becomes due. Landlord's election not to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 23.4 or pursuant to any other provision of this Lease, at law or in equity, shall not preclude Landlord from subsequently electing to terminate this Lease or pursuing any of its other remedies. 23.5. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO PERFORM. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Lease, all covenants and agreements by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any abatement or offset of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money (other than Monthly Basic Rent) or perform any other act on its part to be paid or performed hereunder and such failure shall continue for three (3) days with respect to monetary obligations (or ten (10) days with respect to non-monetary obligations) after Tenant's receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations, make such payment or perform such other act on behalf of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs incurred by Landlord in performing such other acts shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within five (5) days after demand therefor as additional rent. 23.6. INTEREST. If any monthly installment of Rent, or any other amount payable by Tenant hereunder is not received by Landlord by the date which is three (3) days after Tenant's receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord, it shall bear interest at the Interest Rate set forth in Section 1.14 of the Summary from the date due until paid. All interest, and any late charges imposed pursuant to Section 23.7 below, shall be considered additional rent due from Tenant to Landlord under the terms of this Lease. 23.7. LATE CHARGES. Tenant acknowledges that, in addition to interest costs, the late payments by Tenant to Landlord of any Monthly Basic Rent or other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impractical to fix. Such other costs include, without limitation, processing, administrative and accounting -25- charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage, deed of trust or related loan documents encumbering the Premises, the Building or the Project. Accordingly, if any monthly installment of Monthly Basic Rent or any other amount payable by Tenant hereunder is not received by Landlord by the due date thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum of five percent (5%) of the overdue amount as a late charge, but in no event more than the maximum late charge allowed by law. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of any late payment as hereinabove referred to by Tenant, and the payment of late charges and interest are distinct and separate in that the payment of interest is to compensate Landlord for the use of Landlord's money by Tenant, while the payment of late charges is to compensate Landlord for Landlord's processing, administrative and other costs incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant's delinquent payments. Acceptance of a late charge or interest shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to the overdue amount or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease or at law or in equity now or hereafter in effect. 23.8. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. All rights, options and remedies of Landlord contained in this Section 23 and elsewhere in this Lease (including Section 28 below) shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of the other, and Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law or in equity, whether or not stated in this Lease. Nothing in this Section 23 shall be deemed to limit or otherwise affect Tenant's indemnification of Landlord pursuant to any provision of this Lease. 23.9. TENANT'S WAIVER OF REDEMPTION. Tenant hereby waives and surrenders for itself and all those claiming under it, including creditors of all kinds, (i) any right and privilege which it or any of them may have under any present or future law to redeem any of the Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease after termination of this Lease or of Tenant's right of occupancy or possession pursuant to any court order or any provision hereof, and (ii) the benefits of any present or future law which exempts property from liability for debt or for distress for rent. 23.10. COSTS UPON DEFAULT AND LITIGATION. Subject to Section 32.4, Tenant shall pay to Landlord and its mortgagees as additional rent all the expenses incurred by Landlord or its mortgagees in connection with any default by Tenant hereunder or the exercise of any remedy by reason of any default by Tenant hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. If Landlord or its mortgagees shall be made a party to any litigation commenced against Tenant or any litigation pertaining to this Lease or the Premises, at the option of Landlord and/or its mortgagees, Tenant, at its expense, shall provide Landlord and/or its mortgagees with counsel approved by Landlord and/or its mortgagees and shall pay all costs incurred or paid by Landlord and/or its mortgagees in connection with such litigation. 24. LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. Subject to the terms of Section 11.2 which provide certain remedies to Tenant in the event Landlord defaults with respect to its repair obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall not be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord under this Lease unless Landlord has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord's failure to perform; provided however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be deemed in default if it commences such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion. Upon any such uncured default by Landlord, Tenant may exercise any of its rights provided at law or in equity; provided, however: (a) Tenant shall have no right to offset or abate rent in the event of any default by Landlord under this Lease, except to the extent offset rights are specifically provided to Tenant in this Lease; (b) Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease; (c) Tenant's rights and remedies hereunder shall be limited to the extent (i) Tenant has expressly waived in this Lease any of such rights or remedies and/or (ii) this Lease otherwise expressly limits Tenant's rights or remedies, including the limitation on Landlord's liability contained in Section 31 hereof; and (d) in no event shall Landlord be liable for consequential damages. Nothing in this Section 24 shall extend any of the periods for Landlord's performance contained in Section 18.6. -26- 25. SUBORDINATION. Without the necessity of any additional document being executed by Tenant for the purpose of effecting a subordination, and at the election of Landlord or any mortgagee of a mortgage or a beneficiary of a deed of trust now or hereafter encumbering all or any portion of the Building or Site, or any lessor of any ground or master lease now or hereafter affecting all or any portion of the Building or Site ("SUPERIOR INTEREST(S)"), this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to such ground or master leases (and such extensions and modifications thereof), and to the lien of such mortgages and deeds of trust (as well as to any advances made thereunder and to all renewals, replacements, modifications and extensions thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and the holder of any Superior Interest, as applicable, shall have the right to subordinate or cause to be subordinated any or all ground or master leases or the lien of any or all mortgages or deeds of trust to this Lease. In the event that any ground or master lease terminates for any reason or any mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, at the election of Landlord's successor in interest, Tenant shall attorn to and become the tenant of such successor. Tenant hereby waives its rights under any current or future law which gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder in the event of any such foreclosure proceeding or sale. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written demand by Landlord and in the form reasonably required by Landlord, any additional documents evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease with respect to any such ground or master lease or the lien of any such mortgage or deed of trust or Tenant's agreement to attorn. Should Tenant fail to sign and return any such documents within said ten day period, Tenant shall be in default hereunder without the benefit of any additional notice or cure periods specified in Section 23.1 above. Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Section 25, as a condition to any subordination of this Lease to any such Superior Interests, Landlord shall obtain from the holders of any Superior Interests now or hereafter existing against the Project, non-disturbance agreements in commercially reasonable form which shall provide that so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable cure periods set forth herein, that Tenant's use, occupancy, and possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed by anyone claiming, by, through or under Landlord and which shall recognize all of Tenant's rights hereunder and all of the terms of this Lease. 26. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. 26.1. TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS. Within ten (10) business days following Landlord's written request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, in a form substantially similar to the form of Exhibit "F" attached hereto, certifying: (a) the Commencement Date of this Lease; (b) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified, and stating the date and nature of such modifications); (c) the date to which the rent and other sums payable under this Lease have been paid; (d) that there are not, to the best of Tenant's knowledge, any defaults under this Lease by either Landlord or Tenant, except as specified in such certificate; and (e) such other matters as are reasonably requested by Landlord. Any such estoppel certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 26.1 may be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of any portion of the Site, as well as their assignees. 26.2. TENANT'S FAILURE TO DELIVER. Tenant's failure to deliver such estoppel certificate within such time shall constitute a default hereunder without the applicability of the notice and cure periods specified in Section 23.1 above and shall be conclusive upon Tenant that: (a) this Lease is in full force and effect without modification, except as may be represented by Landlord; (b) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's or Tenant's performance (other than Tenant's failure to deliver the estoppel certificate); and (c) not more than one (1) month's rental has been paid in advance. Tenant shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably approved by Landlord in writing) and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, suits, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys' fees and court costs) attributable to any failure by Tenant to timely deliver any such estoppel certificate to Landlord pursuant to Section 26.1 above. -27- 27. OMITTED. 28. MODIFICATION AND CURE RIGHTS OF LANDLORD'S MORTGAGEES AND LESSORS. 28.1. MODIFICATIONS. If, in connection with Landlord's obtaining or entering into any financing or ground lease for any portion of the Building or Site, the lender or ground lessor shall request modifications to this Lease, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after request therefor, execute an amendment to this Lease including such modifications, provided such modifications are reasonable, do not increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder, or adversely affect the leasehold estate created hereby or Tenant's rights hereunder. 28.2. CURE RIGHTS. In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgagee covering the Premises or ground lessor of Landlord whose address shall have been furnished to Tenant, and shall offer such beneficiary, mortgagee or ground lessor a reasonable opportunity to cure the default (including with respect to any such beneficiary or mortgagee, time to obtain possession of the Premises, subject to this Lease and Tenant's rights hereunder, by power of sale or a judicial foreclosure, if such should prove necessary to effect a cure). 29. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that, upon Tenant performing all of the covenants and provisions on Tenant's part to be observed and performed under this Lease (including payment of rent hereunder), Tenant shall have the right to use and occupy the Premises in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease as against all persons claiming by, through or under Landlord. 30. TRANSFER OF LANDLORD'S INTEREST. The term "Landlord" as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or obligations on the part of the Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title to, or a lessee's interest in a ground lease of, the Site. In the event of any transfer or conveyance of any such title or interest (other than a transfer for security purposes only), the transferor shall be automatically relieved of all covenants and obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease accruing after the date of such transfer or conveyance. Landlord and Landlord's transferees and assignees shall have the absolute right to transfer all or any portion of their respective title and interest in the Site, the Building, the Premises and/or this Lease without the consent of Tenant, and such transfer or subsequent transfer shall not be deemed a violation on Landlord's part of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease. 31. LIMITATION ON LANDLORD'S LIABILITY. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, the obligations of Landlord under this Lease (including any actual or alleged breach or default by Landlord) do not constitute personal obligations of the individual partners, directors, officers, members or shareholders of Landlord or Landlord's members or partners, and Tenant shall not seek recourse against the individual partners, directors, officers, members or shareholders of Landlord or against Landlord's members or partners or any other persons or entities having any interest in Landlord, or any of their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability with respect to this Lease. In addition, in consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder to Tenant and notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant hereby covenants and agrees for itself and all of its successors and assigns that the liability of Landlord for its obligations under this Lease (including any liability as a result of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default hereunder by Landlord), shall be limited solely to, and Tenant's and its successors' and assigns' sole and exclusive remedy shall be against, Landlord's interest in the Project, including insurance, condemnation and sale proceeds and no other assets of Landlord. -28- 32. MISCELLANEOUS. 32.1. GOVERNING LAW. This Lease shall be governed by, and construed pursuant to, the laws of the state in which the Building is located. 32.2. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Subject to the provisions of Section 30 above, and except as otherwise provided in this Lease, all of the covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives and permitted successors and assigns; provided, however, no rights shall inure to the benefit of any Transferee of Tenant unless the Transfer to such Transferee is made in compliance with the provisions of Section 14, and no options or other rights which are expressly made personal to the original Tenant hereunder or in any rider attached hereto shall be assignable to or exercisable by anyone other than the original Tenant under this Lease. 32.3. NO MERGER. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a mutual termination thereof shall not work as a merger and shall, at the option of Landlord, either (a) terminate all or any existing subleases, or (b) operate as an assignment to Landlord of Tenant's interest under any or all such subleases. 32.4. PROFESSIONAL FEES. If either Landlord or Tenant should bring suit against the other with respect to this Lease, including for unlawful detainer or any other relief against the other hereunder, then all costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party therein (including, without limitation, its actual appraisers', accountants', attorneys' and other professional fees and court costs), shall be paid by the other party. 32.5. WAIVER. The waiver by either party of any breach by the other party of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant and condition herein contained, nor shall any custom or practice which may become established between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof be deemed a waiver of, or in any way affect, the right of any party to insist upon the performance by the other in strict accordance with said terms. No waiver of any default of either party hereunder shall be implied from any acceptance by Landlord or delivery by Tenant (as the case may be) of any rent or other payments due hereunder or any omission by the non-defaulting party to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect defaults other than as specified in said waiver. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. 32.6. TERMS AND HEADINGS. The words "Landlord" and "Tenant" as used herein shall include the plural as well as the singular. Words used in any gender include other genders. The Section headings of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof. Any deletion of language from this Lease prior to its execution by Landlord and Tenant shall not be construed to raise any presumption, canon of construction or implication, including, without limitation, any implication that the parties intended thereby to state the converse of the deleted language. 32.7.

RECORDING. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Lease. In addition, neither party shall record a short form memorandum of this Lease without the prior written consent (and signature on the memorandum) of the other, and provided that prior to recordation Tenant executes and delivers to Landlord, in recordable form, a properly acknowledged quitclaim deed or other instrument extinguishing all of the Tenant's rights and interest in and to the Site, Building and Premises, and designating Landlord as the transferee, which deed or other instrument shall be held by Landlord and may be recorded by Landlord once the Lease terminates or expires (but not prior thereto). The form of any short form memorandum shall be subject to Landlord's prior reasonable approval and shall not disclose any of the terms of this Lease except as expressly authorized by Landlord. If such short form memorandum is recorded in accordance with the foregoing, the party requesting the recording shall pay for all costs of or related to such recording, including, but not limited to, recording charges and documentary transfer taxes. 32.11. EXHIBITS AND RIDERS. All Exhibits and Riders attached to this Lease are hereby incorporated in this Lease as though set forth at length herein. 32.12. ACCORD AND SATISFACTION. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent payment herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. Tenant agrees that each of the foregoing covenants and agreements shall be applicable to any covenant or agreement either expressly contained in this Lease or imposed by any statute or at common law. 32.13. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Upon ten (10) days prior written request from Landlord (which Landlord may make at any time during the Term but no more often that two (2) times in any calendar year), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (a) a current financial statement of Tenant and any guarantor of this Lease, and (b) financial statements of Tenant and such guarantor for the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year. Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles and certified as true in all material respects by Tenant (if Tenant is an individual) or by an authorized officer, member/manager or general partner of Tenant (if Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, respectively). 32.14. NO PARTNERSHIP. Landlord does not, in any way or for any purpose, become a partner of Tenant in the conduct of its business, or otherwise, or joint venturer or a member of a joint enterprise with Tenant by reason of this Lease. The provisions of this Lease relating to Percentage Rent payable hereunder, if any, are included solely for the purpose of providing a method whereby rent is to be measured and ascertained. 32.15. FORCE MAJEURE. In the event that either party hereto shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act required hereunder by reason of strikes, lock-outs, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, failure of power, governmental moratorium or other governmental action or inaction (including failure, refusal or delay in issuing permits, approvals and/or authorizations), injunction or court order, riots, insurrection, war, fire, earthquake, flood or other natural disaster or other reason of a like nature not the fault of the party delaying in performing work or doing acts required under the terms of this Lease (but excluding delays due to financial inability) (herein collectively, "FORCE MAJEURE DELAYS"), then performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay. The provisions of this Section 32.15 shall not apply to nor operate to excuse Tenant from the payment of -30- Monthly Basic Rent, additional rent or any other payments strictly in accordance with the terms of this Lease, nor shall this Section 32.15 operate to extend the time periods for restoration under Section 18.6. 32.16. COUNTERPARTS. This Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which shall be one and the same agreement. 32.17. NONDISCLOSURE OF LEASE TERMS. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Lease are confidential and constitute proprietary information of Landlord. Disclosure of the terms could adversely affect the ability of Landlord to negotiate other leases and impair Landlord's relationship with other tenants. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that except as required by law due to Tenant's status as a public company (or pursuant to Tenant's business judgment as to its reporting obligations), Tenant and its partners, officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys, shall not intentionally and voluntarily disclose the terms and conditions of this Lease to any newspaper or other publication or any other tenant or apparent prospective tenant of the Building or other portion of the Project, or real estate agent, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Landlord, provided, however, that Tenant may disclose the terms to prospective subtenants or assignees under this Lease. 32.18. NON-DISCRIMINATION. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that there shall be no discrimination against, or segregation of, any person, group of persons, or entity on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, age, sex, marital status, national origin, or ancestry in the leasing, subleasing, transferring, assignment, occupancy, tenure, use, or enjoyment of the Premises, or any portion thereof. 33. LEASE EXECUTION. 33.1. TENANT'S AUTHORITY. If Tenant executes this Lease as a partnership, corporation or limited liability company, then Tenant and the persons and/or entities executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant represent and warrant that: (a) Tenant is a duly organized and existing partnership, corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be, and is qualified to do business in the state in which the Building is located; (b) such persons and/or entities executing this Lease are duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on Tenant's behalf in accordance with the Tenant's partnership agreement (if Tenant is a partnership), or a duly adopted resolution of Tenant's board of directors and the Tenant's by-laws (if Tenant is a corporation) or with Tenant's operating agreement (if Tenant is a limited liability company); and (c) this Lease is binding upon Tenant in accordance with its terms. Concurrently with Tenant's execution and delivery of this Lease to Landlord and/or at any time during the Term within ten (10) days of Landlord's request, Tenant shall provide to Landlord a copy of any documents reasonably requested by Landlord evidencing such qualification, organization, existence and authorization. 33.2. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If more than one person or entity executes this Lease as Tenant: (a) each of them is and shall be jointly and severally liable for the covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements of this Lease to be kept, observed and performed by Tenant; and (b) the act or signature of, or notice from or to, any one or more of them with respect to this Lease shall be binding upon each and all of the persons and entities executing this Lease as Tenant with the same force and effect as if each and all of them had so acted or signed, or given or received such notice. 33.3. GUARANTY. Omitted. 33.4. NO OPTION. The submission of this Lease for examination or execution by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option for the Premises and this Lease shall not become effective as a Lease until it has been executed by Landlord and delivered to Tenant. 34. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION SEEKING SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS LEASE, FOR DAMAGES FOR ANY -31- BREACH UNDER THIS LEASE, OR OTHERWISE FOR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY HEREUNDER. 35. BACK-UP GENERATOR. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 35 and to Tenant obtaining all necessary governmental permits and approvals, and so long as Tenant shall not adversely interfere with any Building systems, Tenant shall have the right to install, operate and maintain, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, a back-up generator ("Generator") upon the Premises. Landlord shall, subject to and in accordance with Article 12, have the right to review and approve Tenant's plans and specifications for the proposed equipment, including, without limitation, the size, desired location, method of installation and visibility of such equipment. The location of the Generator shall be selected by Tenant, subject to Landlord's approval which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the installation of the Generator involve the installation of an underground storage tank. The above-ground storage tank associated with the Generator (the "AST") shall not exceed 10,000 gallons in capacity, shall be double walled in thickness, shall contain diesel fuel only (to power the Generator only), and shall employ at a minimum a double containment system whereby if the first containment system fails, a second containment system shall be present to prevent releases of Hazardous Materials, all in accordance with applicable laws and environmental regulations. For these purposes, a sealed, uncracked concrete basement slab containment area without drains shall be sufficient (but shall not be the exclusive method) to constitute the second containment system, provided it is large enough to completely contain a release of the maximum volume of Hazardous Materials which could be present in the first containment system. Tenant acknowledges that any loss of parking attributable to the location of the Generator and/or AST will be at Tenant's sole risk and come out of Tenant's share of parking. All handling, use, storage and disposal of Hazardous Materials relating to the AST or the Generator shall be accomplished by Tenant at its sole cost and expense in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 6.4 above. Prior to or within sixty (60) days following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease, Tenant agrees to (i) promptly remove from the Project, at its sole cost and expense, the AST (including, at Landlord's request, the basement slab), if any, and the Generator and all Hazardous Materials which are brought upon, stored, used, generated or released upon, in, under or about the Premises, the Project or any portion thereof by Tenant or any Tenant Parties in connection with the Generator or AST, and (ii) return the Premises and the balance of the Project to substantially the condition existing prior to Tenant's installation of the Generator and AST. Tenant shall be solely responsible for complying with any and all Environmental Laws relating to the AST, the Generator and all Hazardous Materials associated with either of the same, including, without limitation, all permitting and tank installations, monitoring and removal/closure obligations. For purposes of all Environmental Laws, Tenant shall be the owner and operator of the AST. Tenant shall be responsible for ensuring compliance by all Tenant Parties with all Environmental Laws relating to the AST and the Generator. Any acknowledgment, consent or approval by Landlord of Tenant's use or handling of Hazardous Materials shall not constitute an assumption of risk respecting the same nor a warranty or certification by Landlord that Tenant's proposed use and handling of Hazardous Materials is safe or reasonable or in compliance with Environmental Laws. From time to time during the Term and for up to one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter, Landlord may, and upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall, retain a registered environmental consultant ("CONSULTANT") acceptable to Landlord to conduct an environmental investigation of the Project ("ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT") (i) for Hazardous Materials contamination in, about or beneath the Project relative to the AST or the Generator, and (ii) to assess the activities of Tenant and all Tenant Parties with respect to the Generator and the AST for compliance with all Environmental Laws and to recommend the use of procedures intended to reasonably reduce the risk of a release of Hazardous Materials. If the Environmental Assessment discloses any material breach of Environmental Laws by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, then the cost thereof shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant, payable as additional rent under this Lease. Otherwise, the costs of the Environmental Assessment shall be the responsibility of Landlord. If Landlord so requires, Tenant shall comply, at its sole cost and expense, with all reasonable -32- recommendations contained in the Environmental Assessment, including any reasonable recommendations with respect to precautions which should be taken with respect to Tenant's or Tenant Parties' activities at the Project relative to the AST or the Generator or any recommendations for additional testing and studies to detect the presence of Hazardous Materials relative to the AST or the Generator. Tenant covenants to reasonably cooperate with the Consultant and to allow entry and reasonable access to the AST and the Generator for the purpose of the Consultant's investigations. If any cleanup or monitoring procedure is required by any applicable governmental authorities in or about the Project as a consequence of any Hazardous Materials contamination by Tenant or any of Tenant's Parties arising out of the Generator or AST use, and the procedure for cleanup is not completed (to the satisfaction of all applicable governmental authorities) prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease (referred to herein as "Tenant's Failure to Clean-Up"), then, without limiting any of Landlord's other rights and remedies contained in this Lease (including, without limitation, any indemnity and restoration obligations of Tenant contained in this Lease), Tenant will additionally be liable for any revenue of Landlord lost to the extent Landlord is precluded from re-leasing the Premises or any other portion of the Project as a result of such contamination. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any and all liability, losses, damages, actions or causes of action, judgments, costs and expenses arising in any way from Tenant's installation, operation, maintenance and removal of the Generator and the AST, or any breach of Tenant's obligations under this Lease with respect to the Generator and the AST. The representations, warranties and agreements of the Tenant set forth in this Section 35 shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term or the earlier termination of the Lease for any reason. 36. ROOFTOP COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT. Subject to all applicable governmental laws and regulations, and in accordance with the terms of Landlord's Antennae License Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "H", Tenant shall have the right to install, maintain and operate, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, a satellite dish or other telecommunications equipment at a location on the roof of the Building reasonably approved by Landlord. Use of the roof top space shall be for Tenant's internal purposes only and shall be non-exclusive and in common with Landlord. Tenant shall not pay a monthly license fee for the rights granted herein. Landlord reserves the right to use the roof; provided, however, that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with the operation of Tenant's telecommunications equipment. -33- IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Lease as of the day and year first above written.

Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth below shall be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Lease. All references in the Lease and in this Rider to the "Lease" shall be construed to mean the Lease (and all exhibits and Riders attached thereto), as amended and supplemented by this Rider. All capitalized terms not defined in this Rider shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease. 1. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant two (2) options (the "EXTENSION OPTION(S)") to extend the Term of the Lease for two (2) additional periods of five (5) years (the "OPTION TERM[S]"), on the same terms, covenants and conditions as provided for in the Lease during the initial Term, except for the Monthly Basic Rent, which shall equal the "fair market rental rate" for the Premises for the applicable Option Term as defined and determined in accordance with the Fair Market Rental Rate Rider attached to the Lease as Rider No. 2. 2. Each Extension Option must be exercised, if at all, by written notice ("EXTENSION NOTICE") delivered by Tenant to Landlord no later than that date which is two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the expiration of the then current Term of the Lease. An Extension Option shall, at Landlord's sole option, not be deemed to be properly exercised if, at the time the Extension Option is exercised or on the scheduled commencement date for the Option Term, Tenant has committed an uncured event of default whose cure period has expired pursuant to Section 23 of the Lease. Provided Tenant has properly and timely exercised the Extension Option, the then current term of the Lease shall be extended by the Option Term, and all terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect, except that the Monthly Basic Rent shall be as set forth above. -1- FAIR MARKET RENTAL RATE RIDER RIDER NO. 2 TO LEASE This Rider No. 2 is made and entered into by and between LNR-LENNAR BRANNAN STREET, LLC, a California limited liability company ("LANDLORD"), and DOUBLECLICK, INC., a Delaware corporation ("TENANT"), as of the day and year of the Lease between Landlord and Tenant to which this Rider is attached. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth below shall be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Lease. All references in the Lease and in this Rider to the "Lease" shall be construed to mean the Lease (and all exhibits and Riders attached thereto), as amended and supplemented by this Rider. All capitalized terms not defined in this Rider shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease. 1. The term "fair market rental rate" as used in the Lease and any Rider attached thereto shall mean the annual amount per rentable square foot, projected during the applicable Option Term, that a willing, non-equity, financially comparable, renewal tenant (excluding sublease and assignment transactions) would pay, and a willing, institutional landlord of a comparable quality building located in the "South of Market Area" (as said phrase is commonly used by local realtors) of San Francisco, California ("Comparison Area") would accept, in an arm's length transaction for a building of comparable size, quality and height as the Premises, taking into account the age, quality and layout of the existing improvements in the Premises, and taking into account items that professional real estate brokers or professional real estate appraisers customarily consider, including, but not limited to, rental rates, space availability, tenant size, tenant improvement allowances, parking charges and any other lease considerations, if any, then being charged or granted by Landlord or the lessors of such similar buildings. The fair market rental rate will be an effective rate, not specifically including, but accounting for, the appropriate economic considerations described above. 2. Landlord shall provide written notice of Landlord's determination of the fair market rental rate not later than ninety (90) days after the last day upon which Tenant may timely exercise the right giving rise to the necessity for such fair market rental rate determination. Tenant shall have fifteen (15) business days ("TENANT'S REVIEW Period") after receipt of Landlord's notice of the fair market rental rate within which to accept such fair market rental rate or to reasonably object thereto in writing. Failure of Tenant to so object to the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord in writing within Tenant's Review Period shall conclusively be deemed Tenant's rejection thereof. If within Tenant's Review Period Tenant reasonably objects to or is deemed to have disapproved the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord, Landlord and Tenant will meet together with their respective legal counsel to present and discuss their individual determinations of the fair market rental rate for the Premises under the parameters set forth in Paragraph 1 above and shall diligently and in good faith attempt to negotiate a rental rate on the basis of such individual determinations. Such meeting shall occur no later than ten (10) days after the expiration of Tenant's Review Period. The parties shall each provide the other with such supporting information and documentation as they deem appropriate. At such meeting if Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the fair market rental rate, they shall each submit to the other their respective best and final offer as to the fair market rental rate. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on such fair market rental rate within five (5) business days following such a meeting (the "Outside Agreement Date"), Tenant's [Extension Option] will be deemed null and void unless Tenant demands appraisal, in which event each party's determination shall be submitted to appraisal in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 below. 3. (a) Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one (1) independent appraiser who shall by profession be an M.A.I. certified real estate appraiser who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of commercial properties in the Comparison Area. The determination of the appraisers shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord's or Tenant's last proposed (as of the Outside Agreement Date) best and final fair market rental rate for the Premises is the closest to the actual fair market rental rate for the Premises as determined by the -1- appraisers, taking into account the requirements specified in Section 1 above. Each such appraiser shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date. (b) The two (2) appraisers so appointed shall within fifteen (15) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed appraiser agree upon and appoint a third appraiser who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two (2) appraisers. (c) The three (3) appraisers shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third appraiser reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord's or Tenant's submitted best and final fair market rental rate, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. During such thirty (30) day period, Landlord and Tenant may submit to the appraisers such information and documentation to support their respective positions as they shall deem reasonably relevant and Landlord and Tenant may each appear before the appraisers jointly to question and respond to questions from the appraisers. (d) The decision of the majority of the three (3) appraisers shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and neither party shall have the right to reject the decision or to undo the exercise of the applicable Option. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser within the time period specified in Section 3(a) hereinabove, the appraiser appointed by one of them shall within thirty (30) days following the date on which the party failing to appoint an appraiser could have last appointed such appraiser reach a decision based upon the same procedures as set forth above (i.e., by selecting either Landlord's or Tenant's submitted best and final fair market rental rate), and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such appraiser's decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and neither party shall have the right to reject the decision or to undo the exercise of the applicable Option. (e) If the two (2) appraisers fail to agree upon and appoint a third appraiser, both appraisers shall be dismissed and the matter to be decided shall be forthwith submitted to arbitration under the provisions of the American Arbitration Association based upon the same procedures as set forth above (i.e., by selecting either Landlord's or Tenant's submitted best and final fair market rental rate). (f) The cost of each party's appraiser shall be the responsibility of the party selecting such appraiser, and the cost of the third appraiser (or arbitration, if necessary) shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant. (g) If the process described hereinabove has not resulted in a selection of either Landlord's or Tenant's submitted best and final fair market rental rate by the commencement of the applicable lease term, then the fair market rental rate estimated by Landlord will be used until the appraiser(s) reach a decision, with an appropriate rental credit and other adjustments for any overpayments of Monthly Basic Rent or other amounts if the appraisers select Tenant's submitted best and final estimate of the fair market rental rate. The parties shall enter into an amendment to this Lease confirming the terms of the decision. -2- OPTIONS IN GENERAL RIDER NO. 3 TO LEASE This Rider No. 3 is made and entered into by and between LNR-LENNAR BRANNAN STREET, LLC, a California limited liability company ("LANDLORD"), and DOUBLECLICK, INC., a Delaware corporation ("TENANT"), as of the day and year of the Lease between Landlord and Tenant to which this Rider is attached.

As used in this Lease and any Rider or Exhibit attached hereto, the word "Option" means the Extension Options pursuant to Rider 1 herein. (b) OPTIONS PERSONAL. Each Option granted to Tenant is personal to the original Tenant executing this Lease, an Affiliate (as defined in Section 14.2) and any assignee approved by Landlord in accordance with Section 14.3. The Options, if any, granted to Tenant under this Lease are not assignable separate and apart from this Lease, nor may any Option be separated from this Lease in any manner, either by reservation or otherwise. (c) EFFECT OF DEFAULT ON OPTIONS. Tenant will have no right to exercise any Option, notwithstanding any provision of the grant of option to the contrary, and Tenant's exercise of any Option may be nullified by Landlord and deemed of no further force or effect, if (i) Tenant is in default (beyond any applicable notice and cure period) of any monetary obligation or material non-monetary obligation under the terms of this Lease as of Tenant's exercise of the Option in question or at the commencement of the Option event. The provisions of this subsection (c) are intended to and shall be construed to also apply to an Affiliate. (d) OPTIONS AS ECONOMIC TERMS. Each Option is hereby deemed an economic term which Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, may or may not offer in conjunction with any future extensions of the Term. -1- SUMMARY OF BASIC LEASE INFORMATION AND DEFINITIONS This SUMMARY OF BASIC LEASE INFORMATION AND DEFINITIONS ("SUMMARY") is hereby incorporated into and made a part of the attached Lease which pertains to the Building described in Section 1.4 below.

After the first year of the Term, the parking space rental rate shall be determined on an annual basis based upon the then fair market rental rate for Tenant's parking spaces determined in the same manner that fair market rent is to be determined for Tenant's Renewal Options as described in Rider No. 2 of the Lease, provided that in no event shall Tenant's parking rate charges per space increase by more than ten percent (10%) per annum. Subject to the other provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall be responsible for the operation, maintenance and repair of the Parking Structure. Notwithstanding the monthly parking rate payable by Tenant to Landlord, Tenant, in its sole discretion, without Landlord's consent and without any obligation to notify Landlord of the rates charged by Tenant, shall have the right to establish monthly parking rates for Tenant's employees, agents, and business invitees. However, in no event shall Tenant be permitted to provide parking for the general public, whether on a monthly, weekly, daily, or hourly basis. Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, including without limitation the foregoing and the provisions of Sections 17 and 20, to hire a third party to operate and maintain the Parking Structure on Tenant's behalf. 1.17 GUARANTORS: None. ---------------------- ------------------------ Landlord's Initials Tenant's Initials -3- FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE This FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE ("FIRST AMENDMENT") is made and entered into as of October 1, 2000, by and between LNR - LENNAR BRANNAN STREET, LLC, a California limited liability company ("LANDLORD") and DOUBLECLICK, INC., a Delaware corporation ("TENANT"). R E C I T A L S : A. Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Lease dated March __, 2000 (the "Lease"), pursuant to which Tenant leased from Landlord Premises A and Premises B (collectively, the "Premises") described therein and containing approximately 117,000 rentable square feet, along with the Parking Structure and all other improvements and facilities on the Site, the address of which is 250 Brannan Street, San Francisco, California. B. The Scheduled Delivery Date set forth in the Lease for Premises A (i.e. the date upon which Landlord anticipated completing the Base Building Improvements with respect to Premises A, and the date upon which Tenant anticipated commencing Tenant's Work in Premises A) was August 15, 2000. C. Due to various delays at the Site, Landlord was unable to cause the Base Building Improvements with respect to Premises A to be substantially completed on or before August 15, 2000, and as of the date hereof the Base Building Improvements with respect to Premises A have yet to be substantially completed. Further, it is unlikely that Landlord will substantially complete the Base Building Improvements with respect to Premises B on or before the Scheduled Delivery Date as to Premises B. D. Pursuant to the Lease, Tenant has the right to enter Premises A from and after July 15, 2000 if Landlord has not completed the Base Building Improvements for Premises A by such date. Tenant has proceeded to prepare its Plans and has or will shortly hereafter submit its Plans for Tenant's Work to the Building Department so as to obtain its Building Permit therefor, all with the goal of Tenant maintaining its target date of completing Tenant's Work and occupying the Premises for the conduct of its business notwithstanding the delays experienced by Landlord in substantially completing the Base Building Improvements. E. Accordingly, Landlord and Tenant now desire to amend the Lease in certain respects so as (x) to allow Tenant access to the Premises to construct Tenant Improvements prior to Landlord's completion of the Base Building Improvements without affecting Tenant's rights and remedies under the Lease except as hereinafter provided in this First Amendment and (y) to incorporate Landlord's Construction Schedule to better identify the work to be completed by Landlord pursuant to the Work Letter Agreement and the anticipated time frames for completion of such work. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. Capitalized Terms. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, all capitalized terms used in this First Amendment shall have the same meaning given such terms in the Lease. 2. Tenant Access Upon the Premises. Effective as of the date first written above, and notwithstanding the fact that Landlord has not yet substantially completed all Base Building Improvements contemplated by the Lease, Tenant shall have the right to enter upon the Premises and construct the Tenant Improvements contemplated by the Lease. Said entry and construction by Tenant shall be in accordance with and subject to all terms and conditions of the Lease, including the Exhibit C Work Letter Agreement, except that Tenant shall not be obligated to pay rent, taxes or other occupancy charges during the period of any such early entry which is prior to the Commencement Dates for Premises A and/or B, respectively. Tenant shall use 1 reasonable efforts not to interfere with Landlord or Landlord's contractors and subcontractors in the completion of the Base Building Improvements by such parties. 3. Construction Schedule for Base Building Improvements. Landlord has caused to be prepared and Tenant has acknowledged receipt of a Construction Schedule (the "Schedule") of completion for the Base Building Improvements, a copy of which Schedule is annexed hereto as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated herein and is similarly incorporated by reference in the Lease. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, notwithstanding the attachment of the Schedule hereto, there shall be no change to the Scheduled Delivery Dates for Premises A and Premises B as set forth in the Lease. Further, Landlord and Tenant agree that the second full paragraph of Section 8 (a) of Exhibit C to the Lease shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows: "Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subsection (a) and notwithstanding Tenant's immediate right to enter the Premises and construct Tenant Improvements, subject to any Force Majeure Delays and Tenant Delays (as described in this clause), if the Base Building Improvements and other work shown on the Schedule to be completed by Landlord as of the points in time labeled "Premises A - Commence Work" and "Premises B - Commence Work" on the last page of the Schedule are not so completed (as certified by Landlord's Architect after consulting with Tenant's Architect and providing Tenant's Architect with an opportunity to review the work in place) by Landlord, other than minor "punch-list" items, within sixty (60) days following the applicable Scheduled Delivery Dates set forth in Section 1.7 of the Summary, then Tenant, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall be entitled to receive two (2) days of abatement of Monthly Basic Rent for each day beyond the sixtieth (60th) day following the applicable Scheduled Delivery Date that Landlord is delayed in so completing the applicable Base Building Improvements and such other work for Premises A or Premises B for reasons other than Force Majeure Delays or Tenant Delays (as described in this clause). To the extent that Landlord is delayed in so completing the Base Building Improvements and such other work due to Force Majeure Delays and/or Tenant Delays (as described in this clause), the applicable Scheduled Delivery Date shall be extended accordingly. However, for the purposes of this clause, a Tenant Delay shall not be deemed to extend the Scheduled Delivery Date unless Landlord has given Tenant written notice of such Tenant Delay and Tenant has not ceased such activity causing the alleged Tenant Delay within two (2) Business Days after Tenant has received such notice." 4. Determination of Term Commencement Date. Due to Tenant's right to enter the Premises and construct Tenant Improvements prior to the completion of all Base Building Improvements by Landlord, the determination of the Term Commencement Date pursuant to Exhibit C, Section 8(b) of the Lease shall be amended and superseded by the following: "(b) Term Commencement Date. The Term of the Lease and Tenant's obligation to pay rent as to the Premises A and B, respectively, will commence on the earlier of: (i) the date Tenant moves into the applicable portion of the Premises to commence operation of its business in said portion of the Premises; (ii) the later of (A) the date the Tenant Improvements have been "substantially completed" and (B) the date that the Base Building Improvements for the applicable portion of the Premises have been "substantially completed"; or (iii) ninety (90) days from substantial completion of the Base Building Improvements for the applicable portion of the Premises; provided, however, that if substantial completion of the Base Building Improvements is delayed as a result of any Tenant Delays, then the date for establishing substantial completion under item (iii) herein as would otherwise have been established pursuant to this Section will be accelerated by the number of days of such "Tenant Delays." However, for the purposes of this clause (b), a Tenant Delay shall not be deemed to accelerate the date for establishing substantial completion of the Base Building Improvements unless Landlord has given Tenant written notice of such Tenant Delay and Tenant has not ceased such activity causing the alleged Tenant Delay within two (2) Business Days after Tenant has received such notice. 2 5. Amendment to Section 8(c) of Exhibit C. The reference to "Section 9(b)" in Section 8(c) of Exhibit C to the Lease is hereby deleted and substituted with a reference to "Section 8(b)." 6. No Further Modification. Except as set forth in this First Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease shall apply with respect to the Premises and shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect. 7. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which shall be one and the same agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this First Amendment has been executed as of the date and year first above written. TENANT: LANDLORD: DOUBLECLICK, INC. LNR-LENNAR BRANNAN STREET, LLC a Delaware corporation a California limited liability company By:/s/ Elizabeth Wang By: ------------------------------- ----------------------------------- Print Name: Elizabeth Wang Print Name: ----------------------- ------------------------ Print Title: Vice President Print Title: ---------------------- ----------------------- By: ----------------------------------- Print Name: ------------------------ Print Title: ----------------------- 3 SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE ("Amendment") is made and entered into as of August 17, 2001, by and between LNR-LENNAR BRANNAN STREET, LLC, a California limited liability company ("Landlord"), and DOUBLECLICK, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Tenant"). R E C I T A L S : A. Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain lease (the "Original Lease") dated March 2000, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated October 1, 2001 ("First Amendment"), pursuant to which Tenant leased from Landlord Premises A and Premises B (collectively, the "Premises") described therein and containing 117,000 rentable square feet, along with the Parking Structure and all other improvements and facilities on the Site, the address of which is 250 Brannan Street, San Francisco, California and more particularly described in the Original Lease. The Original Lease, as amended by the First Amendment shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Lease." All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning assigned to them in the Lease. B. Due to various delays in the completion of the Base Building Improvements for Premises A and Premises B, Tenant has accumulated a number of days of abated Monthly Basic Rent pursuant to Section 8(a) of Exhibit C to the Lease. However, Landlord and Tenant dispute the number of days of abated Monthly Basic Rent which have been accumulated by Tenant. C. The parties now desire to resolve their differences by fixing the number of days of abated Monthly Basic Rent Tenant shall receive by establishing the date upon which Tenant shall begin to pay Monthly Basic Rent with respect to Premises A and Premises B and to set forth other agreements of the parties and modifications to the Lease as set forth herein. A G R E E M E N T : NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby amend the Lease and agree as follows: 1. Monthly Basic Rent Commencement Date. Notwithstanding anything set forth in the Lease (including without limitation, the provisions of Section 8(a) of Exhibit C to the Lease), Tenant shall commence the payment of Monthly Basic Rent as to both Premises A and Premises B on March 1, 2002 (the "Basic Rent Commencement Date"). In accordance with the Schedule of Monthly Basic Rent set forth in Section 1.8 of the Lease, Monthly Basic Rent shall be $438,750.00 per month commencing on the Basic Rent Commencement Date through month 60 of the Term. The abatement of Monthly Basic Rent until the Basic Rent Commencement Date shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be deemed to satisfy all obligations of Landlord to abate Monthly Basic Rent arising from any late delivery of Premises A or Premises B as provided in the Lease and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord for any such abated Monthly Basic Rent or any other damages arising from any alleged late delivery by Landlord of Premises A or Premises B. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 1, the Basic Rent Commencement Date shall be extended if as of the date Tenant substantially completes the portion of the Premises A Tenant Improvements (the "March 23 Improvements") which are described in the plans prepared by the Phillips Group dated March 23, 2001 (the "March 23 Plans"): (i) permanent electrical power is not in place at the Building, or (ii) if pedestrian access to the Building and vehicular and pedestrian access to and from the parking garage and Federal Street and pedestrian access to and from the Building and the parking garage is not available, or (iii) the parking garage is not substantially complete, or (iv) any other aspect of the Base Building Improvements are not complete which legally prevents Tenant from taking occupancy of Premises A and commencing business operations therefrom. Any such extension of the Basic Rent Commencement Date shall be on a day for day basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 1, Tenant acknowledges that a PG&E 1 power pole is presently located in the sidewalk between the parking garage and Federal Street and that the power pole affects but does not prevent vehicular egress from the parking garage to Federal Street. PG&E had previously indicated to Landlord that it would remove or relocate the power pole from its current location on or before the date hereof but has since indicated that the power pole may not be removed or relocated until on or about August 30, 2001. Landlord is diligently pursuing removal or relocation of the power pole and agrees to continue to do so until the power pole is removed or relocated so as not to affect entry to the parking garage, but Tenant agrees that if the power pole has not been removed or relocated prior to Tenant's substantial completion of the March 23 Improvements, such power pole shall not be construed as causing the failure or non-satisfaction of the condition for vehicular access to and from the parking garage and Federal Street so long as vehicles can enter and exit the parking garage at Federal Street. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 1, and despite the fact that Tenant's obligation to commence payment of Monthly Basic Rent as to Premises B is to commence on the Basic Rent Commencement Date of March 1, 2002 subject to the conditions set forth above, if for reasons other than "Tenant Delays" (as defined in the Lease and modified in Paragraph 2 below), any portion of the Premises B Base Building Improvements are not complete as of the point in time that either (i) Tenant has completed its tenant improvements within a portion of Premises B pursuant to plans approved by Landlord, or (ii) Tenant would be able to complete such tenant improvements but for the incomplete Base Building Improvements within such portion of Premises B, and such incomplete Base Building Improvements for Premises B either preclude Tenant from completing its tenant improvements within such portion of Premises B or legally prevent Tenant from taking occupancy of such portion of Premises B and commencing business operations therefrom, then Tenant shall receive one (1) day of abatement of Monthly Basic Rent pro rated for the portion of Premises B which Tenant is to then occupy, for each day that Landlord delays in completing the necessary Premises B Base Building Improvements which either preclude Tenant from completing the tenant improvements for such portion of Premises B or legally prevent Tenant from taking occupancy of such portion of Premises B. Except for any such pro rated rent abatement as to a specific portion of Premises B, if any, pursuant to the foregoing sentence of this Paragraph 1, Tenant shall be obligated to pay Monthly Basic Rent for all other portions of Premises B commencing on the Basic Rent Commencement Date, notwithstanding that Tenant has not improved or taken occupancy of such portions of Premises B. 2. Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the terms of Paragraph 1 above and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease (including without limitation, the provisions of Section 8(b) of Exhibit C to the Lease), the Term of the Lease as to both Premises A and Premises B and Tenant's obligation to pay additional rent including operating expenses, Real Property Taxes and Assessments and Insurance Costs and parking charges (but not Tenant's obligation to pay Monthly Basic Rent as to Premises A or Premises B), will commence on the date (the "Commencement Date") which is the earlier of: (i) the date Tenant moves into any portion of the Premises to commence operation of its business from the Premises; (ii) the date which is ninety (90) days after Landlord completes the Base Building Improvements; or (iii) the date the March 23 Improvements have been "substantially completed"; provided, however, in any event the parking garage must be completed such that Tenant may utilize the parking garage, and provided that if substantial completion of the Base Building Improvements are delayed as a result of any "Tenant Delays" (as defined in the Lease), then the date for establishing substantial completion under item (ii) herein as would otherwise have been established pursuant to this Section will be accelerated by the number of days of such "Tenant Delays". For purposes of item (ii) above, a Tenant Delay shall not be deemed to accelerate the date for establishing substantial completion of the Base Building Improvements unless Landlord has given Tenant written notice of such Tenant Delay and Tenant has not ceased such activity causing the alleged Tenant Delay within two (2) Business Days after Tenant has received such notice. 3. Payment of Certain Fees. 2 3.1. City of San Francisco Planning Code Section 313 (the so-called "Jobs-Housing Linkage Program") authorizes the City of San Francisco (the "City") to assess a certain one-time fee ("Housing Linkage Fee") in connection with any development of more than 25,000 gross square feet of office space. The Housing Linkage Fee is currently $11.34 per gross square foot (to be increased to $14.96 per gross square foot on January 1, 2002 and thereafter as provided in the City Planning Code). This Fee became payable when the most current amendment to Planning Code Section 313 went into effect, but to date the City has not invoiced Tenant for any Housing Linkage Fee. Tenant is responsible for this fee pursuant to the Lease and has previously indicated to Landlord and the City that it will pay this fee if and when Tenant is invoiced by the City. 3.2. City of San Francisco Administrative Code Chapter 38 authorizes the City to assess a certain one-time fee ("Transit Fee") in connection with development of space for "office use" (which for purposes of this statute includes clerical, professional and business services uses), subject to a credit for prior use as non-office space. The Transit Fee is currently $5.00 per gross square foot. The City has sent a determination notice to Tenant setting the Transit Fee for the Premises at $352,646.25. Tenant is responsible for this fee pursuant to the Lease and has previously indicated to Landlord and the City that it will pay this Transit Fee. 3.3. City of San Francisco Planning Code Section 314 authorizes the City to assess a certain one-time fee ("Child-Care Fee") in connection with the development of more than 50,000 gross square feet of office or hotel space. The Child-Care Fee is currently $1.00 per gross square foot. To date, the City has not assessed any Child-Care Fee on the Building. 3.4. The current approved use of the Premises by Tenant under applicable zoning designations is "business services" as that term is defined in Planning Code Section 890.111 and as determined by the Zoning Administrator in his interpretation letter dated June 7, 2000. Landlord and Tenant desire that Landlord pursue, at Landlord's cost, and with Tenant's cooperation, approval for general office use at the Building pursuant to Planning Code Section 321. As detailed in the specific provisions of Planning Code Section 321, Planning Commission approval for general office use at the Building will remain valid so long as construction of the office development commences within eighteen (18) months following receipt of such office use approval. In connection with the processing of applications for approval of the use of the Building as general office use, Tenant agrees to be bound by any conditions of approval imposed by the City, subject to the limitation on Tenant's obligation to share in Office Development Fees and Business Services Development Fees per Section 3.6 below, and provided Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any Office Development Fees or incur any costs to comply with any conditions of approval relative to the allocation for office use for the Building unless and until Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Landlord's fifty percent (50%) share of any previously incurred Business Services Development Fees upon the Office Vesting Date as provided in Section 3.5 below. For purposes of this Amendment, the "Office Vesting Date" shall mean the date established by the Zoning Administrator in a Zoning Administrator interpretation letter provided to Landlord and Tenant and dated August 10, 2001 (the "ZAL"), or if such determination as specified in the ZAL is not upheld for any reason, the "Office Vesting Date" shall be the date that the Planning Commission or other government agency with jurisdiction otherwise confirms that the construction requirement of Section 321(d) of the Planning Code has been or need not be satisfied or when Landlord and Tenant otherwise agree, in good faith, that such "Office Vesting Date" has occurred. By way of clarification of the preceding sentence, the ZAL established that the Office Vesting Date shall be the date upon which the change of use building permit is signed off by the Department of Building Inspection, as more particularly provided in the ZAL, but the parties acknowledge that such determination may be subject to challenge or appeal. 3.5. Until and through any Office Vesting Date, without limiting Tenant's obligations with respect to the payment of Real Property Taxes and Assessments as provided in the Lease, Tenant agrees to pay the Housing Linkage Fee, the Transit Fee and any other development fees which may be assessed by the City in connection with Tenant's development of the Premises under its current business services use designation (herein, collectively "Business Services Development Fees"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, within thirty (30) days after the Office Vesting Date, Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant for fifty percent (50%) of any such Business Services Development Fees paid by Tenant through the Office Vesting Date 3 or when payable by Tenant following such Office Vesting Date, including, without limitation, fifty percent (50%) of the Housing Linkage Fee and Transit Fee (but exclusive of building permit fees). In addition, Landlord and Tenant agree to share equally and pay upon assessment the costs of any additional development fees which may be assessed against the Premises or the Building including, without limitation, the Child Care Fee, in connection with the receipt of approvals for general office use at the Building and any such development fees as may thereafter be assessed against the Premises or the Building by reason of such general office use allocation (herein, collectively, "Office Development Fees"), provided Tenant shall not be obligated to incur or pay any Office Development Fees as described in this Amendment until such time as (i) the Office Vesting Date occurs, and (ii) Landlord reimburses Tenant for Landlord's fifty percent (50%) share of all Business Services Development Fees as provided herein. If Landlord shall fail to reimburse Tenant for any Business Services Development Fees or to pay its share of any Office Development Fees or Business Services Development Fees (not previously incurred) or other fees described in Section 3.4 within thirty (30) days of when such fees shall become payable by Landlord as provided herein, Tenant shall have the right to offset such unpaid fee amounts against the next due Monthly Basic Rent under the Lease, with interest on such unpaid fee amounts at ten percent (10%) simple interest per annum imposed on a per diem basis until Tenant shall be reimbursed and/or paid in full satisfaction of Landlord's obligations. Landlord agrees to promptly apply for and to diligently pursue receipt of approvals for general office use at the Building, but the parties acknowledge that Landlord cannot guarantee that such approvals will in fact be received or in what time frame such approvals might be received, if at all. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 3, if at any time Landlord believes that Landlord's 50% share of the Office Development Fees and Business Services Development Fees (not previously incurred) or other fees described in Section 3.4 to be assessed as a condition to receipt of approvals for general office use will exceed $1,200,000.00, Landlord shall have the right to withdraw its application for such office use approval. The provisions of this Paragraph 3 shall survive any transfer or assignment of this Lease by Landlord or Tenant. 3.6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 3, if Landlord obtains the office use allocation, Tenant's liability for fifty percent (50%) of the Office Development Fees and Business Services Development Fees and other fees described in Section 3.4 shall not exceed One Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,200,000.00) and, subject to Landlord's right to withdraw its application for approvals for general office use for the Building, Landlord shall pay all Office Development Fees and Business Services Development Fees and other fees described in Section 3.4 in excess of Two Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,400,000.00). 4. Tenant Improvement Allowance/ Monthly Basic Rent Adjustment. Pursuant to Exhibit C of the Lease, Landlord granted to Tenant a tenant improvement allowance of Twenty Five Dollars ($25.00) per usable square foot of the Premises (referred to in the Lease and herein as the "Allowance"). Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 6(f) of Exhibit C to the contrary, Landlord agrees to disburse the Allowance on a pro-rata incremental basis and Tenant agrees to accept disbursement of the Allowance on a pro-rata incremental basis as and when Tenant completes the installation of "Qualified Tenant Improvements" at the Building during the Term hereof. As used herein, "Qualified Tenant Improvements" shall mean Tenant Improvements which: (i) are for the improvement of all of a portion of the Premises which contains 5,000 usable square feet of area or more; (ii) provide for occupancy of such space by Tenant or an approved assignee or subtenant of Tenant for business services or office use (if office use allocation has been obtained); (iii) are described in Final Plans (including in the March 23 Plans) which have been reviewed and approved by Landlord as provided in Paragraph 5(b) of Exhibit C but as modified hereby, and (iv) are for ordinary and typical office/business services improvements (exclusive of, by way of example only, cabling, specialized electrical distribution, furniture, trade fixtures and business equipment and the like). For purposes hereof, "Final Plans" shall mean those plans for the area of the Premises to be built out by Tenant or for an approved assignee or subtenant. Landlord shall disburse a pro rata portion of the Allowance towards costs of Qualified Tenant Improvements in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the actual cost of such Qualified Tenant Improvements, or (2) the Allowance multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the usable square footage of the portion of the Premises to be improved by such Qualified Tenant Improvements, and the denominator of which is 104,715 (the Usable Area of the Premises). The 4 applicable portions of the Allowance shall be disbursed in one installment upon completion of the applicable portion of the Qualified Tenant Improvements when Tenant provides to Landlord "Evidence of Completion and Payment" as defined in Paragraph 6 of Exhibit C (including all requirements for a final disbursement) for the Qualified Tenant Improvements in question. 5. Completion of Tenant Improvements. Pursuant to Exhibit C to the Lease, Tenant is to promptly, diligently and continuously pursue construction of the Tenant Improvements shown in the March 23 Plans to successful completion in full compliance with the March 23 Plans and Exhibit C. The March 23 Plans do not constitute the "Final Plans" and are not sufficient to "convey the architectural design of the Premises or the layout of the Tenant Improvements for all of the Premises" as required by the Lease, nor are they consistent with any previous Space Plans submitted by Tenant to Landlord from the standpoint that they do not cover all portions of the Premises and therefore cannot be consistent with space plans depicting the entire Premises. The parties acknowledge that Tenant does not presently have Final Plans for the balance of the Premises other than the portion of the Premises described in the March 23 Plans and that Tenant does not intend to complete all of the Tenant Improvements simultaneously and likely will not complete all of the Tenant Improvements by the Rent Commencement Date. 6. March 23 Plan Approval Letter. Concurrently with Tenant's execution and delivery to Landlord of this Amendment, Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord an original counterpart of that certain letter from Robert Herzfeld of Mariposa Management to Mr. Frank Altieri of DoubleClick and Ms. Dani Grant of JLS Industries/Grant Enterprises in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "A". 7. Floors. The Lease requires that Landlord deliver the floors of the Premises in a "commercially reasonable level condition for underlayment of carpeting or resilient flooring." Landlord contends that it has delivered the floors of the Building in accordance with the standard required in the Lease and Tenant presently disputes Landlord's contention and claims the condition of the floors of the Premises including basement concrete flooring and wood flooring on upper floors of the Building as delivered by Landlord does not meet the requirements of the Lease. Without acknowledging any liability for same, in satisfaction of Landlord's obligations regarding the delivery condition of the floors of the Building, Landlord agrees to pay (i) Tenant's actual costs to cause its contractor to apply "Cell-Crete" filler (or similar material), at Landlord's cost, to smooth out any perceived undulations in the basement concrete floor as identified by Tenant in accordance with Proposal Number 10953 from Cell-Crete Corporation (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "B"), and (ii) pay Tenant's actual costs up to $15,000 for Tenant's contractor to install "Ardex" (or similar material) on the upper wood sub-floors in locations determined by Tenant to smooth out any perceived variations in the wood sub floor identified by Tenant. 8. Entire Agreement. This Amendment embodies the entire understanding between Landlord and Tenant with respect to its subject matter and can be changed only by an instrument in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant. Except as amended hereby, the Lease shall remain in full force and effect. 5 9. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same Amendment. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment has been executed as of the day and year first set forth above. LANDLORD: LNR-LENNAR BRANNAN STREET, LLC a California limited liability company By: /s/ Daniel C.

R E C I T A L S : A. Tenant and LNR-LENNAR BRANNAN STREET, LLC, a California limited liability company ("LNR-Lennar"), entered into that certain lease (the "Original Lease") dated March 2000, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated October 1, 2000 ("First Amendment") and that certain Second Amendment to Lease dated as of August 17, 2001 ("Second Amendment"), pursuant to which Tenant leased from Landlord Premises A and Premises B (collectively, the "Premises") described therein and containing 117,000 rentable square feet, along with the Parking Structure and all other improvements and facilities on the Site, the address of which is 250 Brannan Street, San Francisco, California, as more particularly described in the Original Lease. The Original Lease, as amended by the First Amendment, by the Second Amendment and by a letter agreement dated August 8, 2001 shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Lease." All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning assigned to them in the Lease. B. LNR-Lennar has transferred its interest as landlord under the Lease to Landlord. C. Tenant desires to sublease or license to third parties the use of some of the parking spaces allocated to Tenant under the Lease, but the Lease (at Section 6.2(a)) provides that Tenant may not provide parking for the general public in any manner whatsoever. D. The parties now desire to amend the Lease (i) to allow Tenant to sublease or license to third parties the use of some of the parking spaces allocated to Tenant under the Lease upon the terms and conditions provided for herein, and (ii) to permit Tenant to first deduct costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with an approved Transfer in determining the amount of excess consideration to be shared with Landlord with respect to such Transfer. A G R E E M E N T : NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby amend the Lease and agree as follows: 1. Landlord's Consent to Subleasing or Licensing Parking Space Use.

ACCOUNTING AND RECORDS MATTERS. 5.1. From and after the date upon which Tenant shall sublease, license or otherwise make available any parking spaces at the Project to any Parking Subtenants, Tenant shall submit to Landlord within ten (10) days after the expiration of each calendar month during the Term, a written statement certified by an officer of Tenant, indicating (i) the total number of Subleased Spaces which are subleased, licensed or otherwise made available to Parking Subtenants for the immediately preceding calendar month, (ii) the total Parking Consideration received by Tenant for any such Subleased Spaces for such immediately preceding calendar month, and (iii) the total Excess Consideration, if any, received by Tenant for Subleased Spaces for such immediately preceding calendar month.

Within thirty (30) days following the expiration of each calendar year of the Term, the parties agree to reconcile Tenant's records regarding Parking Consideration and Excess Consideration for the preceding calendar year and if the amount of Excess Consideration paid by Tenant to Landlord on a monthly basis for the preceding calendar year exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the total Excess Consideration for such calendar year, Landlord shall refund to Tenant the overpayment amount within thirty (30) days of such reconciliation determination and if the amount of Excess Consideration paid by Tenant to Landlord on a monthly basis for the preceding calendar year is less than fifty percent (50%) of the total Excess Consideration for such calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the underpayment amount within thirty (30) days of such reconciliation determination. 2 5.2. For the purposes of determining the amount of excess rent or other economic consideration, if any, payable to Landlord in connection with an approved Transfer as provided in Section 14.4 (d) of the Lease, the Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that before sharing any such rent or other economic consideration, Tenant shall first be permitted to deduct from the revenue received in any such Transfer, the actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with any such Transfer, including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, reasonable legal expenses, demising expenses and other commercially reasonable concessions such as work allowances. 6.

Subject to the further provisions of this Article 39, upon the request of Tenant, Landlord shall make available to Tenant on the Unit B Commencement Date, at no cost to Tenant, for Tenant's own use (and not for resale or sublicensing purposes) (i) up to 450 square feet of usable space (hereinafter referred to as the "GENERATOR AREA") on the portion of the southwest second (2nd) floor roof set-back.. area of the Building, as designated by Landlord, in its sole discretion (which space designated shall be feasible for such generator(s) installation), the approximate location of which shall be on a portion of the area cross-hatched on the floor plan annexed hereto as Exhibit E-l, for the Generator(s), (ii) up to 200 square feet of usable space or such greater amount as is necessary to hold a 5,000 gallon conventional fuel tank (hereinafter referred to as the "TANK AREA") in the basement of the Building, the approximate location of which is as cross-hatched on the floor plan annexed hereto as Exhibit E-2, for the Fuel Tank used in connection with the Generator(s), and (iii) up to 50 square feet of usable space (hereinafter referred to as the "SWITCH AREA") in the basement of the Building at a location to be determined and mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant for the installation and placement of Tenant's transfer switch used in connection with the Generator(s). The foregoing locations will permit the connection of such Generator(s) to the Additional Premises and the Existing Premises in a reasonable manner. Tenant's use of the Generator Area, the Tank Area and the Switch Area of the Building shall be on an exclusive basis. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the Unit C Premises to Tenant, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant will use each of the Generator Area, the Tank Area and the Switch Area. In the event Tenant fails to so notify Landlord, Tenant's right to use each of the Generator Area, the Tank Area and the Switch Area shall thereafter be on a "first-come, first-served" basis subject to availability. In connection with Tenant's use of each of the Generator Area, the Tank Area and the Switch Area of the Building, Tenant shall have access as reasonably required to each of the Generator Area, the Tank Area and the Switch Area for the construction, installation, maintenance, repair, operation and use of the Generator(s), the Fuel Tank and Tenant's transfer switch. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, be permitted to fence-in or enclose each of the Generator Area, the Tank Area and the Switch Area in a manner reasonably acceptable to Landlord and in compliance with applicable law, but Tenant shall provide Landlord with a key for such enclosure. It is agreed, however, that only Tenant and authorized licensed electrical engineers and electrical contractors approved in advance by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), federal, state or local governmental inspectors or persons under their direct supervision will be permitted to have access to each of the Generator Area, the Tank Area and the Switch Area. Tenant further agrees to exercise firm control over the people requiring access to each of the Generator Area, the Tank Area and the Switch Area in order to keep to a minimum the number of people having access to each of the Generator Area, the Tank Area and the Switch Area and the frequency of their visits. Landlord shall, at no cost to Tenant, provide reasonably sufficient space in the shafts of the Building, the approximate location of which shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, to allow Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to run electrical wiring from the Generator(s) to the Additional Premises and to the Existing Premises and from the Building generator described in Paragraph 39G of the Lease to the Generator(s) and to run fuel lines from the Fuel Tank to the Generator(s). The installation of the Generator(s) shall constitute a Tenant's Change and shall be performed at Tenant's sole cost and expense in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of this lease, including, without limitation, Article 45 hereof, and notwithstanding anything herein or in this lease to the contrary, Tenant's right to install the Generator(s) shall be subject to the prior approval by Landlord of plans and specifications for the Generator(s) and the manner in which same is attached to the Generator Area, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All of the applicable provisions of this lease shall apply to the installation, use, operation and maintenance of the Generator(s), including, without limitation, provisions relating to compliance with laws, insurance, indemnity, hazardous material, repairs and maintenance. The license granted to Tenant in this Article 39 shall not be assignable by Tenant separate and apart from this lease and may not be sublicensed by Tenant. Notwithstanding anything in Article 39 of this lease to the contrary, if Tenant installs the Generator(s), Tenant may disconnect from, at its sole cost and expense, and terminate its use of, the Building generator without further obligation to Landlord with respect thereto. (I) Tenant shall install, maintain, operate, repair and use the Generator(s), all at its sole cost and expense, and in such a manner so as not to cause any unreasonable interference to other tenants, occupants, licensees or Landlord in the Building or damage to or interference with the operation of the Building or any Building systems. (J) Landlord may, at its option, at any time during the term of this lease, after reasonable prior notice to Tenant (except in the event of an emergency when no notice shall be required) relocate the Generator(s) to another area of the .second (2nd) floor roof set-back area designated by Landlord and relocate the Fuel Tank and Tenant's transfer switch to another area of the basement designated by Landlord, provided that such relocation does not cause the back-up electrical service to be interrupted or impaired and such relocation shall be performed at Landlord's sole cost and expense. (K) (1) Landlord shall not have any obligations with respect to the Generator(s) or compliance with any laws or requirements of public authorities relating thereto (including, without limitation, the obtaining of any required permits or licenses, or the maintenance thereof), nor shall Landlord be responsible for any damage that may be caused to Tenant or the Generator(s) by any other tenant or occupant of the Building. Landlord makes no representa-tion with respect to the Generator(s) or its capacity or ability to provide back-up electrical service and Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor. (2) Any electrical service required for Tenant's use of the Generator(s) shall be paid for by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Article 39 of this lease. (3) Tenant shall (i) be solely responsible for any damage caused to Landlord or any other entity, person or property as a result of the installation, maintenance or use of the Generator(s), (ii) promptly pay any tax, license, permit or other fees or charges imposed pursuant to any laws and/or requirements of public authorities relating to the installation, maintenance or use of the Generator(s), (iii) promptly comply with all reasonable precautions and safeguards recommended by Landlord's insurance company and all federal, state or municipal governmental authorities or agencies, and (iv), at its sole cost and expense, (x) perform all necessary repairs or replacements to, or maintenance of, the Generator(s), (y) promptly repair any and all damage to each of the Generator Area, the Tank Area and the Switch Area and to any other part of the Building caused by or resulting from the installation, maintenance, repair, operation or removal of the Generator(s) or any portion thereof, and (z) at Tenant's Option, except as otherwise provided in Section (M) below, terminate its use of the Generator(s) and disconnect and remove same. (L) Tenant shall have the right, for the period from the Commencement Date through six (6) months after the date Landlord delivers the Generator Area to Tenant, upon prior written notice to Landlord, to connect to the Building generator to allow Tenant to receive up to 350 K.W. of emergency electricity service (in addition to that provided to Tenant under Paragraph 39G of the Lease) from the Building generator at no cost to Tenant, except that Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of connecting to, and disconnecting from (at the end of such period), the Building generator. In the event Tenant does connect to the Building generator as aforesaid, Landlord agrees to, on a monthly basis, exercise the Building generator, check and maintain all fluid and battery levels and maintain a maintenance log of all maintenance performed to the Building generator. Landlord further agrees to maintain a contract with a generator service company to visually inspect and perform preventive maintenance two (2) times per year. Landlord shall, upon two (2) weeks prior written notice by Tenant and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, assist Tenant in scheduling an emergency power test (a/k/a pull the plug test). Such test shall be limited to the period for which Tenant is connected to the Building generator and Landlord shall not be obligated to conduct such test more than two (2) times a year. (M) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the privileges granted Tenant under Sections (H) - (M) shall merely constitute a license and shall not, now or at any time after the installation of the Generator(s), be deemed to grant Tenant a leasehold or other real property interest in the Building or any portion thereof. The license granted to Tenant in Sections (H) - (M) shall automatically terminate and expire upon the expiration or earlier termination of this lease and the termination of such license shall be self-operative and no further instrument shall be required to effect such termination and Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, unless, upon written request given by Tenant at least six (6) months prior to the Expiration Date requesting that the Generator(s) remain on the Generator Area, the Fuel Tank remain on the Tank Area and Tenant's transfer switch remain on the Switch Area, and such request is thereafter consented to by Landlord, remove the Generator(s) from the Generator Area, the Fuel Tank from the Tank Area and Tenant's transfer switch from the Switch Area within three (3) months after the expiration or earlier termination of this lease and repair any damage to each of the Generator Area, the Tank Area, the Switch Area and the Building resulting from such removal so as to place same, as closely as possible, in the same condition as existed prior to the installation of the Generator(s), the Fuel Tank and Tenant's transfer $witch, normal wear and tear excepted. This obligation shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this lease. The foregoing notwithstanding, upon request by Landlord, Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, promptly shall execute and deliver to Landlord, in recordable form, any certificate or other document confirming the termination of Tenant's right to use the Generator Area, the Tank Area and the Switch Area. SEVENTH: Article 52 of the Lease shall apply to both the Existing Premises and the Additional Premises together. In connection therewith, Landlord and Tenant confirm that any calculation concerning rental terms of all or any portion of the Existing Premises shall be performed using the rental terms of the Existing Premises set forth in this Amendment, and any calculation concerning rental terms of all or any portion of the Additional Premises shall be performed using the rental terms of the Additional Premises set forth in this Agreement. Further, the following is added to Article 52 of the Lease as Section 52(K): "(K) Tenant may sublease (a) the 14th Premises or any part thereof for terms not to exceed the day immediately preceding the third (3`d) anniversary of the Commencement Date provided that there shall not be more than four (4) entities (including Tenant) occupying the 14th Premises, and (b) the 15th Premises or any part thereof for terms not to exceed the day being immediately preceeding the third (3`d) anniversary of the 15th Premises Commencement Date provided there shall not be more than four (4) entities (including Tenant) occupying the 15th Premises, pursuant, and subject, to all the other terms and conditions of this Article 52 (upon notice to Landlord, but without the need for Landlord's consent thereto, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article 52), except that Sections 52(F), 52(G), 52(H) and 52(I) shall not apply with respect to any such sublease." EIGHTH: Section 56J(1) of the Lease shall apply to both the Existing Premises and the Additional Premises together. In connection therewith, Section 56(J)(1) of the Lease shall be deleted therefrom and the following shall be substituted in lieu hereof: "(1) Landlord shall supply condenser water free of charge during "REGULAR HOURS" (7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.) of "BUSINESS DAYS" (which term is used herein to mean all days except Saturdays, Sundays and days (hereinafter referred to "HOLIDAYS") observed by the Federal or New York State government as legal holidays or the building service employees' union holidays) throughout the year and at the rate of $50.00 per hour during "OVERTIME HOURS" (6:00 p.m. - 7:00 a.m.) for up to 1200 tons to serve the Existing Premises and the Additional Premises together. Landlord shall also make available to Tenant during the term of this lease supplemental condenser water to serve the Existing Premises and the Additional Premises for up to thirty (30) tons (i.e., two (2) 15 ton units) during regular hours and overtime hours free of charge on business days and for all hours on holidays. With respect to any condenser water required to supply any air-conditioning which Tenant may be permitted to install in excess of 1230 tons (which excess shall include Tenant's use of condenser; water for ug to an additional 400 tons of capacity necessary for the 15 Premises), Landlord shall make available to Tenant, and Tenant shall pay for, as additional rent, such additional condenser water at the rate of $.072 per ton per hour during regular hours and overtime hours of business days and for all hours on holidays provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, there shall be no charge to Tenant for condenser water for up to an additional 400 tons of capacity for the 15t' - Premises during regular hours of business days.

Landlord represents that adequate capacity for condenser water exists for the use of both Tenant and such existing tenant so as to supply condensor water to Tenant in accordance with the provisions of the Lease, as hereby amended. Notwithstanding anything hereinabove or in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event Tenant is unable to tap into the condenser water outlet on the 14th Premises while the existing tenant is utilizing same, Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, install, operate, maintain and repair an air-cooled system for the period from the date Tenant is unable to tap into the condenser water outlet through six (6) months after the Unit C Premises Commencement Date.

Tenant shall be responsible, at it sole cost and expense, for disconnecting and removing such air-cooled system and any vent or louver and repairing and damages to the Building resulting therefrom. TWELFTH: (a) (a) Commencing on April 1, 2000 and continuing thereafter during the term of the Lease, as hereby amended, Landlord, subject to any present or future law or rule of any governmental agency having jurisdiction and all applicable Building codes and rules and except during periods where emergency or repair situations exist, will designate one passenger elevator cab in the high rise elevator bank to service only the 12th, 14th, 15th (upon the 15th Premises Commencement Date and provided Tenant does not exercise Tenant's Termination Option) and 16th floors and the lobby of the Building for the exclusive use of Tenant and its visitors and invitees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such passenger elevator cab shall not service nor stop on the 15th Premises until the 15th Premises Commencement Date, provided Tenant does not exercise Tenant's Termination Option. All work necessary to reprogram or otherwise prepare such elevator cab for such exclusive use including, without limitation, increasing such use to service the 15th Premises (provided Tenant does not exercise Tenant's Termination Option), shall be performed by Landlord, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith within thirty (30) days of receipt of a bill thereafter accompanied by reasonable back-up information with respect to such costs. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord shall obtain bids for all work necessary to reprogram or otherwise prepare the aforesaid elevator cab for such exclusive use from not less than three (3) elevator maintenance and repair companies of recognized standing in the Borough of Manhattan, one of which may be selected by Tenant. Landlord will allow Tenant to participate in the bidding process and Landlord shall select the lowest qualified bidder to perform the aforesaid work unless Landlord and Tenant otherwise mutually determine to select another bidder. During the term of the Lease, Landlord shall maintain such elevator cab in the same manner as it is obligated to maintain all other passenger elevators in the Building in accordance with the provisions of the Lease, as hereby amended. Nothing herein shall eliminate or reduce Landlord's obligation to maintain such elevator in such good working order throughout the term of the Lease, as hereby extended by this Agreement. (b) As of April 1, 2000, Landlord hereby grants Tenant, at no cost to Tenant, a license for the period from April 1, 2000 and continuing thereafter throughout the term of the Lease, as extended by this Agreement, on the terms and conditions contained herein and in the Lease to install and maintain, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, a sign setting forth that such dedicated passenger elevator is for Tenant's exclusive use.

Within thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Lease, Tenant shall remove the sign and repair any damage to the lobby wall of the Building resulting from such removal. (c) Commencing on the Unit C Commencement Date and continuing thereafter during the term of the Lease, as hereby amended, Tenant shall be entitled to utilize, on an exclusive basis and without additional cost except as expressly set forth in this Article Twelfth, the presently decommissioned and out-of-service elevator cab and elevator shaft in the north east quadrant of the Building (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "F-4 ELEVATOR") which presently exists between the 12`h floor and the 15" floor of the Building upon the following terms and conditions: (1) Tenant understands that the F-4 Elevator is available for Tenant's use in its present "as is" condition and acknowledges that same is decommissioned and out-of-service and may not presently be used. (2) In the event Tenant elects to utilize the F-4 Elevator, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, recommission the F-4 Elevator by making all necessary repairs and improvements thereto, at its sole cost and expense, which repairs and improvements shall be made in accordance with all of the applicable provisions of the Lease, as hereby amended, and in accordance with all laws, rules and regulations of any governmental agency, Building Department, and/or any other entity having jurisdiction with respect thereto. Landlord shall cooperate, at Tenant's expense, by promptly executing any documents in connection therewith required to be executed by Landlord.

(3) In connection with the renovation, recommissioning and use of the F-4 Elevator, provided Tenant does not exercise Tenant's Termination Option, Tenant shall, upon the 15th Premises Commencement Date, be entitled to extend same so as to run between the 12th floor and the 16th floor of the Building, including, without limitation, cutting any slab between the 15th Premises and the 16th floor of the Building. Any such extension shall be performed at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, and shall thereafter be maintained and repaired at Tenant's sole cost and expense and, in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of any governmental agency, Building Department, and any other entity having jurisdiction with respect thereto. Tenant shall not be required to restore any slab opening between the 15th Premises and the 16th floor of the Building on the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Lease. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has made no representations that the F-4 Elevator may be used for any purpose or that same may be recommissioned and Tenant is not relying on any representation and that the inability of Tenant to use the F-4 Elevator or extend same to the 16th floor shall in no way affect the Lease, as hereby amended, or Tenant's obligations thereunder. Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord shall have no obligations of any kind with respect to the F-4 Elevator and all expenses with respect thereto and all repairs and maintenance thereof shall be at the sole cost and expense of Tenant who shall have sole responsibility therefor. THIRTEENTH: In the event the existing tenant of the Unit B Premises and the Unit C Premises or its employees and agents (including its own security guards) impedes Tenant's access by means of ingress and/or egress to each of the Unit A Premises and the Unit B Premises as of the Unit B Premises Commencement Date, Landlord shall, upon Tenant's request, take all action available to Landlord at law or in equity against such existing tenant to prevent such impediment from continuing but in no event shall Landlord be obligated to terminate the lease(s) for such existing tenant. FOURTEENTH: Tenant warrants and represents that it has dealt with no brokers other than Insignia/ESG, Inc. ("INSIGNIA") and Newmark & Company Real Estate, Inc. ("NEWMARK") in connection with this Agreement. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, against any claims for brokerage commission in connection with this Agreement arising out of any conversations or negotiations had by Tenant with any broker other than Insignia and Newmark. Landlord will pay the leasing commission due to Insignia and Newmark pursuant to a separate agreement or agreements and will indemnify Tenant for all claims of brokers which have dealt with Landlord in connection with this Agreement and not dealt with Tenant. FIFTEENTH: All notices to Landlord shall be addressed to Landlord c/o Max Capital Management Corp., 230 Park Avenue, 17`" Floor, New York, New York 10169 with a copy to FischbeinoBadillooWagneroHarding, 909 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022, Attention: Barry E. Shimkin, Esq. SIXTEENTH: In the event Landlord objects to a specific aspect of any plans and specifications submitted by Tenant to Landlord in connection with any Alterations and/or Tenant's Changes (as defined in the Lease), such objection shall be limited to such portion of the plans and specifications specifically objected to by Landlord and those portions of the plans and specifications not specifically objected to by Landlord shall be deemed approved. SEVENTEENTH: This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts and shall be deemed to have become effective when and only when one or more of such counterparts shall have been signed by or on behalf of each of the parties hereto, although it shall not be necessary that any single counterpart be signed by or on behalf of both of the parties hereto, and all such counterparts shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument. A faxed signature by or on behalf of any party on any counterpart shall be deemed to be the equivalent of the signature of such party, it being understood that the counterpart containing such existing signature shall be promptly thereafter forwarded to the other party hereto. EIGHTEENTH: This Agreement may not be changed, modified or canceled orally. As amended hereby, the Lease is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects and shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
