(formerly known as Global Sports, Inc.) (the "Company") amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on June 6, 1999 as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 thereto on May 1, 2000, Amendment No. 2 thereto on May 4, 2000, Amendment No. 3 thereto on October 24, 2000, Amendment No. 4 thereto on December 28, 2001 and Amendment No. 5 thereto on February 21, 2003. Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: The purpose of the acquisition of the shares of Common Stock by the Reporting Persons described herein was to make an investment in the Company. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 10, 1999 (the "1999 Purchase Agreement") (attached hereto as Exhibit C), between the Company and SOFTBANK America ("SOFTBANK America"), SOFTBANK America purchased an aggregate of 6,153,850 shares of Common Stock from the Company for a purchase price of $13.00 per share. The total consideration paid by SOFTBANK America to the Company for the shares was $80,000,050. In July 1999, SOFTBANK America assigned 6,069,542 shares of the Company's Common Stock to SB Capital Partners and 84,308 shares of the Company's Common Stock to Advisors Fund (as defined in Item 5), and all of its rights with respect to those shares under the Registration Rights Agreement and the 1999 Purchase Agreement, each as described in this Item 4, thus reducing SOFTBANK America's holdings to zero. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 27, 2000 (the "2000 Purchase Agreement") (attached hereto as Exhibit I), by and among the Company, SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund, SB Capital Partners and Advisor Fund purchased 2,464,250 shares of Common Stock and 35,750 shares of Common Stock, respectively, on May 1, 2000 for a purchase price of $8.00 per share. In addition, SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund were each issued a warrant to purchase 1,232,125 shares of Common Stock (attached hereto as Exhibit L) and 17,875 shares of Common Stock, respectively, at an exercise price of $10.00 per share (the "SB Capital Partners Warrant"). The SB Capital Partners Warrant was exercisable on and after May 1, 2000 and expired on April 30, 2003 without being exercised. The 2000 Purchase Agreement provides, among other things, that on and after the closing date, SOFTBANK Capital Partners and SOFTBANK Capital Advisors, together, will have the right, (i) (A) so long as the Purchasers and the SOFTBANK Entities (each as defined therein) collectively own 50% or more of the Common Stock (on an as if exercised basis) held immediately after consummation of the Purchase (as defined therein), to designate three (3) members of the Company's Board of Directors, (B) so long as the Purchasers and the 7 of 15 SOFTBANK Entities collectively own 25% or more of the Common Stock (on an as if exercised basis) held immediately after consummation of the Purchase, to designate two (2) members of the Company's Board of Directors, and (C) so long as the Purchasers and the SOFTBANK Entities collectively own 5% or more of the Common Stock (on an as if exercised basis) held immediately after consummation of the Purchase, to designate one (1) member of the Company's Board of Directors (collectively, the "2000 Board Composition Requirement"); and (ii) so long as the Purchasers and the SOFTBANK Entities collectively own 35% or more of the Common Stock (on an as if exercised basis) held immediately after consummation of the Purchase, to designate one (1) member of each committee of the Company's Board of Directors. SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund also are parties to a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of June 10, 1999, as amended on May 1, 2000 (the "Registration Rights Agreement")(attached hereto as Exhibit D), with the Company which grants SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund "demand" and "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the 1999 Purchase Agreement and the 2000 Purchase Agreement. In conjunction with the execution of the 1999 Purchase Agreement, SOFTBANK America entered into the Subordinated Loan Agreement, dated as of June 10, 1999 (the "Subordinated Loan Agreement")(attached hereto as Exhibit G), with the Company pursuant to which, on such date, SOFTBANK America loaned the Company $15 million. The loan was evidenced in the form of a convertible subordinated note (the "Convertible Subordinated Note")(attached hereto as Exhibit H). Interest on the Convertible Subordinated Note accrued on the outstanding principal amount of the loan at the rate of 4.98% per annum. All unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid interest due on the Convertible Subordinated Note was automatically converted into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the total amount of unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid interest divided by $13.00. Subject to the provisions of the 1999 Purchase Agreement and the 2000 Purchase Agreement, each of SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund may sell, transfer, assign or pledge all or any part of the shares they acquire pursuant to the 1999 Purchase Agreement and 2000 Purchase Agreement to any of their affiliates or those of SOFTBANK, including, without limitation, any partnership or other entity of which any direct or indirect subsidiary of SOFTBANK is a general partner or has investment discretion, or any employees of any of the foregoing. Neither SB Capital Partners nor Advisors Fund have any specific plans to make such transfers. Michael G. Rubin, the principal stockholder of the Company holding in the aggregate approximately 43.2% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 27, 2000 ("Rubin") entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of June 10, 1999 (the "Rubin Voting Agreement")(attached hereto as Exhibit E), in favor of SOFTBANK America. Pursuant to the Rubin Voting Agreement, Rubin agreed that he will, at any meeting of stockholders of the Company, or in connection with any written consent of stockholders of the Company, vote or cause to be voted all shares of Common Stock then held of record or beneficially owned by him (i) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach in any respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Purchase Agreement; (ii) in favor of election to the Board of Directors of the directors which 8 of 15 SOFTBANK America is, together, entitled to designate upon consummation of the Second Purchase and which have been identified by SOFTBANK America as nominees for such purpose; and (iii) except as otherwise agreed to in writing in advance by SOFTBANK America against the following actions (other than the Second Purchase and the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement): (A) a dissolution of the Company or (B) any material change in the present capitalization of the Company or any amendment of the Company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws, in each case, which is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede, delay or adversely affect the transactions contemplated by the Rubin Voting Agreement and the Purchase Agreement. Rubin also agreed that he will not enter into any agreement or understanding with any person or entity the effect of which would be inconsistent or violative of the provisions and agreements contained in the Rubin Voting Agreement and delivered to SOFTBANK America an irrevocable proxy to vote all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him, together with any shares acquired by him in any capacity after the date thereof, in the manner and with respect to the matters set forth in the Rubin Voting Agreement. In addition, Rubin agreed not to take any action to remove, with or without cause, any director of the Company designated by SOFTBANK America. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SOFTBANK America has the right at all times to remove, with or without cause, any or all of the directors designated by it. SOFTBANK America, as an inducement and a condition to consummating the 1999 Purchase Agreement, entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of June 10, 1999 (the "SOFTBANK America Voting Agreement") (attached hereto as Exhibit F), in favor of Rubin. Pursuant to the SOFTBANK America Voting Agreement, SOFTBANK America agreed that it will, at any meeting of stockholders of the Company, or in connection with any written consent of stockholders of the Company, vote or cause to be voted all shares of Common Stock then held of record or beneficially owned by it with respect to all directorships other than those which SOFTBANK America is entitled to designate pursuant to the 1999 Purchase Agreement (i) in favor of any member of the Board of Directors of the Company who was a member of the Board prior to the date of the 1999 Purchase Agreement, and any director who is thereafter chosen to fill any vacancy on the Board of Directors or who is elected as a director (a "Continuing Director") and who, in either event, is not a director designated by SOFTBANK America pursuant to the 1999 Purchase Agreement and in connection with his or her initial assumption of office is recommended for appointment or election by a majority of the Continuing Directors then on the Board of Directors, and (ii) against the election of any directors other than those directors specified in clause (i) of this sentence. In addition, SOFTBANK America agreed not to take any action to remove, with or without cause, any director of the Company other than the SOFTBANK America designees. Rubin entered into a Restated Voting Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2000 (the "2000 Rubin Voting Agreement") (attached hereto, as Exhibit J), in favor of SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund, pursuant to which, Rubin agreed that he will, at any meeting of stockholders of the Company, or in connection with any written consent of stockholders of the Company, vote or cause to be voted all shares of Common Stock then held of record or beneficially owned by him (i) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach in any respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the 2000 Purchase Agreement; (ii) in favor of election to the Board of Directors of the directors which SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund are, together, entitled to designate upon 9 of 15 consummation of the Purchase (as defined in the 2000 Purchase Agreement) and which have been identified by SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund as nominees for such purpose; and (iii) except as otherwise agreed to in writing in advance by SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund against the following actions (other than the Purchase and the transactions contemplated by the 2000 Purchase Agreement): (A) a dissolution of the Company or (B) any material change in the present capitalization of the Company or any amendment of the Company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws, in each case, which is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede, delay or adversely affect the Purchase and the transactions contemplated by the voting agreement and the 2000 Purchase Agreement. The voting agreement also provides that Rubin agrees that he will not enter into any agreement or understanding with any person or entity the effect of which would be inconsistent or violative of the provisions and agreements contained in this voting agreement and will deliver to SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund, if requested, an irrevocable proxy to vote all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him, together with any shares acquired by him in any capacity after the date thereof, in the manner and with respect to the matters set forth in this voting agreement. In addition, Rubin agreed not to take any action to remove, with or without cause, any director of the Company designated by SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund have the right at all times to remove, with or without cause, any or all of the directors designated by SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund. SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund, as an inducement and a condition to consummating the 2000 Purchase Agreement, also entered into a restated voting agreement in favor of Rubin, dated as of May 1, 2000 (the "2000 SOFTBANK Voting Agreement") (attached hereto as Exhibit K), relating to the election of directors designated by Rubin. Pursuant to the 2000 SOFTBANK Voting Agreement, SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund agreed that they will, at any meeting of stockholders of the Company, or in connection with any written consent of stockholders of the Company, vote or cause to be voted all shares of Common Stock then held of record or beneficially owned by them with respect to all directorships other than those which SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund are entitled to designate pursuant to the 2000 Purchase Agreement (i) in favor of any member of the Board of Directors of the Company who was a member of the Board prior to the date of the 2000 Purchase Agreement, and any director who is thereafter chosen to fill any vacancy on the Board of Directors or who is elected as a director (a "Continuing Director") and who, in either event, is not a director designated by SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund pursuant to the 2000 Purchase Agreement and in connection with his or her initial assumption of office is recommended for appointment or election by a majority of the Continuing Directors then on the Board of Directors, and (ii) against the election of any directors other than those directors specified in clause (i) of this sentence. In addition, SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund agreed not to take any action to remove, with or without cause, any director of the Company other than the SB Capital Partners and Advisors Fund designees. In connection with a registered offering of 3,707,469 shares of Common Stock to the public (the "2005 Registered Offering"), which was consummated on June 1, 2005, pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") (attached hereto as Exhibit Q), dated May 25, 2005, SB Capital Partners sold to the several underwriters named therein (the "Underwriters") 248,950 shares of Common Stock at a price of $14.0238 per share, SB Capital sold to the Underwriters 244,700 shares of Common Stock at a price of $14.0238 per share and 10 of 15 Advisors Fund sold to the Underwriters 6,350 shares of Common Stock at a price of $14.0238 per share. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, SB Capital Partners, SB Capital and Advisors Fund have agreed with the Underwriters that during the period beginning on May 25, 2005 and continuing to and including the date 90 days after May 25, 2005, not to (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing agreement does not apply to (a) the sale of any Common Stock to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement; (b) transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the 2005 Registered Offering; or (c) the exercise of any stock option, warrant or other right to acquire shares of Common Stock, the conversion of a security convertible into Common Stock, or any disposition of shares of Common Stock (i) in lieu of payment of the exercise or conversion price thereof or (ii) to the Company to satisfy any withholding tax obligation in connection with such exercise or conversion. Other than as described herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (i) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Company or the disposition of securities of the Company; (ii) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) any change in the present Board or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board; (v) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (vi) any other material change in the Company's business or corporate structure; (vii) changes in the Company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any persons; (viii) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (ix) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (x) any action similar to those enumerated above (collectively, the "Specified Actions"). However, the Reporting Persons intend to evaluate the proposed investment in the Company on an ongoing basis, and, depending on their evaluation of the business and prospects of the Company and other factors that they may deem relevant, the Reporting Persons may determine to dispose of the securities of the Company or their contractual rights to acquire such securities, acquire additional securities of the Company or take other actions if market conditions or other business considerations, in the judgment of the Reporting Persons, warrant. Such additional acquisitions or dispositions may be effected through open market purchases or sales, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers to existing holders or direct negotiation with the 11 of 15 Company. Such further acquisitions, dispositions or other actions may or may not result in the Specified Actions. All references to the 1999 Purchase Agreement, the 2000 Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Subordinated Loan Agreement, the Convertible Subordinated Note, the Rubin Voting Agreement, the SOFTBANK America Voting Agreement, the 2000 Rubin Voting Agreement, the 2000 SOFTBANK Voting Agreement, the SB Capital Partners Warrant and the Underwriting Agreement are qualified in their entirety by the full text of such agreements, copies of which are attached as Exhibits hereto and are incorporated by reference herein. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: Each of SB Capital Partners, SB Capital and Advisors Fund is an investment fund managed by its sole general partner, SB CP LLC; accordingly, securities owned by SB Capital Partners, SB Capital or Advisors Fund may be regarded as being beneficially owned by SB CP LLC. Pursuant to an amendment, dated October 1, 2001, to the Limited Liability Company Agreement of SB CP LLC (the "LLC Agreement Amendment"), all investment decisions on behalf of SB CP LLC must be approved by SB CM LLC; accordingly, securities beneficially owned by SB CP LLC may be regarded as being beneficially owned by SB CM LLC. As a result of the LLC Agreement Amendment, SOFTBANK Capital Partners Investment Inc. ("SB CPI"), Ronald D. Fisher ("Mr. Fisher") and Charles R.

Conditions to the Underwriters' Obligations. The obligations of the Sellers to sell the Shares to the Underwriters and the several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Shares on the Closing Date are subject to the condition that the Registration Statement shall have become effective not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the date hereof. 13 The several obligations of the Underwriters are subject to the following further conditions: (a) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date: (i) there shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, in the rating accorded any of the Company's securities by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization," as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act; and (ii) there shall not have occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement) that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and that makes it, in your judgment, impracticable to market the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

With respect to such statement, Blank Rome LLP may state that their beliefs are based upon their participation in the preparation of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto and documents incorporated by reference and review and discussion of the contents thereof, but are without independent check or verification, except as specified.

(e) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, dated the Closing Date, covering the matters referred to in Sections 6(c)(v), 6(c)(vi), 6(c)(viii) (but only as to the statements in the Prospectus under "Description of Capital Stock" and "Underwriters") and clauses (B), (C) and (D) of Section 6(c)(2) above. With respect to clauses (B), (C) and (D) of Section 6(c)(2), Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP may state that their beliefs are based upon their participation in the preparation of the Registration 18 Statement and Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto (other than documents incorporated by reference) and upon review and discussion of the contents thereof (including documents incorporated by reference), but are without independent check or verification except as specified. With respect to Section 6(d) above, counsel for the Selling Shareholders may rely upon an opinion or opinions of counsel for any Selling Shareholders and, with respect to factual matters and to the extent such counsel deems appropriate, upon the representations of each Selling Shareholder contained herein and in other documents and instruments; provided that (A) each such counsel for the Selling Shareholders is satisfactory to your counsel, (B) a copy of each opinion so relied upon is delivered to you and is in form and substance satisfactory to your counsel, (C) copies of any such other documents and instruments shall be delivered to you and shall be in form and substance satisfactory to your counsel and (D) counsel for the Selling Shareholders shall state in their opinion that they are justified in relying on each such other opinion. The opinions of Blank Rome LLP and counsel for the Selling Shareholders described in Sections 6(c) and 6(d) above (and any opinions of counsel for any Selling Shareholder referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph) shall be rendered to the Underwriters at the request of the Company or one or more of the Selling Shareholders, as the case may be, and shall so state therein. (f) The Underwriters shall have received, on each of the date hereof and the Closing Date, a letter dated the date hereof or the Closing Date, as the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters, from Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent registered public accountants, containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants' "comfort letters" to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; provided that the letter delivered on the Closing Date shall use a "cut-off date" not earlier than the date hereof. (g) The "lock-up" agreements, each substantially in the form of Exhibit A, Exhibit B or Exhibit C hereto, as applicable, between you and the shareholders, executive officers and directors of the Company listed on Schedule III hereto relating to sales and certain other dispositions of shares of Common Stock or certain other securities, delivered to you on or before the date hereof, shall be in full force and effect on the Closing Date. 19 The several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase Additional Shares hereunder are subject to the delivery to you on the applicable Option Closing Date of such documents as you may reasonably request with respect to the good standing of the Company, the due authorization and issuance of the Additional Shares to be sold by the Company on such Option Closing Date, the ownership and passage of title of the Additional Shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholders on such Option Closing Date and other matters related to the issuance or sale of such Additional Shares. 7. Covenants of the Company. In further consideration of the agreements of the Underwriters herein contained, the Company covenants with each Underwriter as follows: (a) To furnish to you, without charge, five signed copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference) and for delivery to each other Underwriter a conformed copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto but including documents incorporated by reference) and to furnish to you in New York City, without charge, prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the business day next succeeding the date of this Agreement and during the period mentioned in Section 7(c) below, as many copies of the Prospectus, any documents incorporated by reference, and any supplements and amendments thereto or to the Registration Statement as you may reasonably request. The terms "supplement" and "amendment" or "amend" as used in this Agreement shall include all documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. (b) Before amending or supplementing the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, to furnish to you a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement and not to file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object, and to file with the Commission within the applicable period specified in Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act any prospectus required to be filed pursuant to such Rule. (c) If, during such period after the first date of the public offering of the Shares as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters the Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in the opinion 20 of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and addresses you will furnish to the Company) to which Shares may have been sold by you on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with law. (d) To endeavor to qualify the Shares for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as you shall reasonably request. (e) To make generally available to the Company's security holders and to you as soon as practicable an earning statement covering the twelve-month period ending July 1, 2006 that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. 8. Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company agrees to pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including: (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company's counsel, the Company's accountants in connection with the registration and delivery of the Company's Shares under the Securities Act and all other fees or expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus and amendments and supplements to any of the foregoing, including all printing costs associated therewith, and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to the Underwriters and dealers, in the quantities hereinabove specified, (ii) all costs and expenses related to the transfer and delivery of the Company's Shares to the Underwriters, including any transfer or other taxes payable thereon, (iii) the cost of printing or producing any Blue Sky or Legal Investment memorandum in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares under state securities laws and all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Shares for offer and sale under state securities laws as provided in Section 7(d) hereof, including filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with such qualification and in connection with the Blue Sky or Legal Investment memorandum, (iv) all filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters incurred in connection with the review and qualification of the offering of the Shares by the NASD (which fee and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters 21 shall not exceed $5,000 in the aggregate under clause (iii) and this clause (iv)), (v) all fees and expenses incident to listing the Shares on the Nasdaq National Market, (vi) the cost of printing certificates representing the Shares, (vii) the costs and charges of any transfer agent, registrar or depositary, (viii) the costs and expenses of the Company relating to investor presentations on any "road show" undertaken in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Shares, including, without limitation, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics, fees and expenses of any consultants engaged in connection with the road show presentations with the prior approval of the Company, travel and lodging expenses of the representatives and officers of the Company and any such consultants, and the cost of any aircraft chartered in connection with the road show, (ix) the document production charges and expenses associated with printing this Agreement and (x) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Section. It is understood, however, that except as provided in this Section, Section 9 entitled "Indemnity and Contribution", and the last paragraph of Section 11 below, the Underwriters will pay all of their costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of their counsel, stock transfer taxes payable on resale of any of the Shares by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make. Each Selling Shareholder agrees to pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (excluding any expenses for which provision is made pursuant to clauses (i)-(ix) of the immediately preceding sentence, which are to be borne by the Company), including: (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the counsel for such Selling Shareholder, and (ii) all costs and expenses related to the transfer and delivery of such Selling Shareholder's Shares to the Underwriters, including any transfer or other taxes payable thereon. The provisions of this Section shall not supersede or otherwise affect any agreement that the Sellers may otherwise have for the allocation of such expenses among themselves. 9. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have 22 furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except that the Company shall not be required to indemnify any Underwriter, controlling person or affiliate thereof insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use therein, provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased Shares, or any person controlling such Underwriter, if a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Underwriter to such person, if required by law to have been delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Shares to such person, and if the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, unless such failure is the result of noncompliance by the Company with Section 7(a) hereof. (b) Each Selling Shareholder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only with reference to information relating to such Selling Shareholder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Selling Shareholder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased Shares, or any person controlling such Underwriter, if a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or 23 supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Underwriter to such person, if required by law to have been delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Shares to such person, and if the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, unless such failure is the result of noncompliance by the Company with Section 7(a) hereof. The liability of each Selling Shareholder under the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares, minus the related underwriting discounts and commissions, sold by such Selling Shareholder under this Agreement. (c) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Selling Shareholders, the directors of the Company, the officers of the Company who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto. (d) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 9(a), 9(b) or 9(c), such person (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any 24 impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for, as applicable (i) the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Underwriters and all persons, if any, who control any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or who are affiliates of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, (ii) the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either such Section and (iii) the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Selling Shareholders and all persons, if any, who control any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either such Section, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Underwriters and such control persons and affiliates of any Underwriters, such firm shall be designated in writing by Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated. In the case of any such separate firm for the Company, and such directors, officers and control persons of the Company, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company. In the case of any such separate firm for the Selling Shareholders and such control persons of any Selling Shareholders, such firm shall be designated in writing by the holders of a majority of the Shares sold by all Selling Shareholders hereunder. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. (e) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 9(a), 9(b)or 9(c) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein (other than because such Sections are not applicable in accordance with their terms), then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such 25 indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 9(e)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 9(e)(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Sellers on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by each Seller and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Sellers on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Sellers or by the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint. The aggregate liability of each Selling Shareholder under the contribution agreement contained in this paragraph and the indemnification provisions of Section 9(b) shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares, minus the related underwriting discounts and commissions, sold by such Selling Shareholder under this Agreement, and is not joint with any other Selling Shareholder or the Company. (f) The Sellers and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 9(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or 26 defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. (g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 9 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Selling Shareholders contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter, any Selling Shareholder or any person controlling any Selling Shareholder, or the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares. 10. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus. 11. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto. 27 If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 11 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased, and arrangements satisfactory to you, the Company and the Selling Shareholders for the purchase of such Firm Shares are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Shareholders. In any such case either you or the relevant Sellers shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Shares to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of any Seller to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason any Seller shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement (as applicable, a "DEFAULTING SELLER"), the Company and any Selling Shareholder who was a Defaulting Seller (a "DEFAULTING SHAREHOLDER") will reimburse the Underwriters 28 or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that a Selling Shareholder who was not a Defaulting Shareholder shall not have any liability under this paragraph. The liability of the Company and each Defaulting Shareholder under this paragraph shall be several and pro rata based upon the proportion that the number of Shares proposed to be sold by the Company or such Defaulting Shareholder, respectively, bears to the total number of Shares to be sold by the Company and all Defaulting Shareholders. 12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. 13. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York. 14. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement. 29 Very truly yours, GSI COMMERCE, INC.

Incorporated ("MORGAN STANLEY"), Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. ("Bear Stearns") and certain other underwriters severally propose to enter into Underwriting Agreements (each, an "UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT") with GSI Commerce, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), and certain existing shareholders (with respect to the Equity Offering, as defined below) of the Company providing for the concurrent public offerings (the "PUBLIC OFFERINGS") by the several Underwriters, including Morgan Stanley and Bear Stearns (the "UNDERWRITERS"), of 3,103,500 shares (the "SHARES") of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "COMMON STOCK") (such offering referred to as the "EQUITY OFFERING"), and $50,000,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes of the Company (the "CONVERTIBLE NOTES") (such offering referred to as the "NOTE OFFERING"). The Convertible Notes will be convertible into shares of Common Stock. To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offerings to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offerings, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 90 days after the date of the final prospectuses relating to the Public Offerings (the "PROSPECTUSES"), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) the sale of any Common Stock or Convertible Notes to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreements; (b) transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offerings; (c) the exercise of any stock option, warrant or other right to acquire shares of Common Stock, the conversion of a security convertible into Common Stock, or any disposition of shares of Common Stock (i) in lieu of payment of the exercise or conversion price thereof or (ii) to the Company to satisfy any withholding tax obligation in connection with such exercise or conversion; (d) transfers by the undersigned to any member of the immediate family of the undersigned, to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or as bona fide gifts, provided that, in each case, each transferee and the trustee of any such trust, as applicable, agrees to be bound in writing to the restrictions set forth in this Lock-Up Agreement; or (e) if the undersigned is an individual, the transfer of any shares as a result of testate or intestate succession, or in the event that the undersigned becomes permanently disabled, provided, that, in each case, each transferee agrees to be bound in writing to the restrictions set forth in this Lock-Up Agreement. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 90 days after the date of the Prospectuses, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company's transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned's shares of Common Stock except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions. This Lock-Up Agreement shall remain in full force regardless of any delay in any of the Public Offerings, any increase or reduction in the size of, or other change in, the Public Offerings, or the termination of either the Note Offering or the Equity Offering; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, this Lock-Up Agreement, including the provisions of this paragraph, shall be automatically terminated and shall cease to be of any force and effect unless the Company, the selling shareholders (with respect to the Equity Offering) and the Underwriters have entered into either the Underwriting Agreement with respect to the Note Offering, or the Underwriting Agreement with respect to the Equity Offering (or both) on or before July 31, 2005. The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this Lock-Up Agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offerings. The undersigned further understands that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned's heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. The undersigned understands that whether or not either Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company, the selling shareholders and the Underwriters.
