Both during the time until the Merger closes and during the term of his\nservices as a consultant, LM shall not serve as an employee, consultant,\ndirector or advisor to any company or other enterprise that is engaged in any\n'business activities' and which then competes with XOOM or NBC Internet, Inc. \n'Business activities,' shall mean the provision of community web sites, web site\nhosting, home page hosting, e-mail, chat rooms, electronic newsletters, clip\nart, software libraries, page counters, online greeting cards and software\ndownloading, in each such case for the purpose of facilitating the direct\nmarketing of goods and services to persons who receive those services in the\nUnited States or elsewhere in the world.  In addition, 'business activities'\nshall include \n\n\n                                          4\n\n\n\nLM's serving as an employee or consultant to Yahoo, Excite, America Online,\nLycos, Infoseek, The Globe, Talk City or Fortune City.  However, if LM commences\nemployment or a consultancy with another entity or enterprise, is not otherwise\nengaging in 'business activities' in that capacity, and that entity or\nenterprise subsequently acquires, is acquired by or otherwise combines with\nYahoo, Excite, America Online, Lycos, Infoseek, The Globe, Talk City or Fortune\nCity, LM shall not be considered to be engaging in 'business activities' unless\nhe actually then engages in one or more of the activities described in the\nsecond sentence of this Section 11.  In addition, LM acknowledges that during\nhis employment with XOOM, he has had access to confidential information and that\nthe activities forbidden by the remainder of this Section would necessarily\ninvolve the improper use or disclosure of this confidential information.  To\nforestall such disclosure, use and breach, and in consideration of the Gross-Up\nPayments set forth in Sections 12-15, LM agrees that for a period of six months\nfollowing the termination of the consulting arrangement (or until December 31,\n2000) whichever is longer, he shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) divert or\nattempt to divert from XOOM or NBC Internet, Inc. any business, including the\nsolicitation of customers; or (ii) engage in any business activities, as defined\nabove, competitive with XOOM or NBC Internet, Inc. unless LM proves in court\nthat any of the above action was done without the use of confidential\ninformation.  If LM breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions of\nthis Section, LM acknowledges and agrees that the damage or imminent damage to\nXOOM's and NBC Internet, Inc.'s business or their goodwill would be irreparable\nand extremely difficult to estimate, making any remedy at law or in damages\ninadequate.  \n\n\n                                          5\n\n\n\nAccordingly, XOOM and NBC Internet, Inc. shall be entitled to injunctive relief\nagainst LM in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Section by LM\nand, in the event of any actual breach, to liquidated damages of the total\namount of the Gross-Up Payment set forth in Sections 12 to 15 which shall\nconstitute a reasonable estimate of XOOM's and NBC Internet, Inc.'s damages and\nnot a penalty ('Liquidated Damages').  The amount of Liquidated Damages shall be\nreduced in equal amounts on a monthly basis from the date of the closing of the\nMerger through December 31, 2000 (e.g., over twelve months the Liquidated\nDamages amount will be reduced by 1\/12 each month), without consideration of any\npartial months.  Such injunctive relief and Liquidated Damages shall constitute\nthe sole remedies for any breach by LM of this Section 11.\n\n12.    In the event that any 'parachute payment' (within the meaning of Section\n280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the 'Code')) to LM\nor for LM's benefit, paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to\nthe terms of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of,\nLM's employment with XOOM (a 'Payment' or 'Payments'), would be subject to the\nexcise tax imposed by Code Section 4999, or any interest or penalties are\nincurred by LM with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with\nany such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the\n'Excise Tax'), then LM will be entitled to receive an additional payment (a\n'Gross-Up Payment') in an amount such that after payment by LM of all taxes\n(including any interest or penalties (other than interest and penalties imposed\nby reason of LM's failure to file timely a tax return or pay taxes shown due on\nLM's \n\n\n                                          6\n\n\n\nreturn not occasioned by acts or omissions of XOOM or NBC Internet, Inc. or its\nor their accounting firm), imposed with respect to the Gross-Up Payment\nincluding, without limitation, any and all excise taxes imposed by Code Section\n4999 and all income taxes), LM retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal\nto the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.\n\n13.    An initial determination as to whether a Gross-Up Payment is required\npursuant to this Agreement and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment shall be made\nby XOOM or NBC Internet, Inc.  XOOM or NBC Internet, Inc. shall provide its\ndetermination (the 'Determination'), together with detailed supporting\ncalculations and documentation, to LM within a reasonable time after LM's\nresignation, if applicable, or such other time as requested by LM (provided LM\nreasonably believes that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax). \nIf requested by LM, XOOM or NBC Internet, Inc. shall furnish LM, at XOOM's or\nNBC Internet, Inc.'s expense, with an opinion reasonably acceptable to LM from\nXOOM's or NBC Internet, Inc.'s regular independent accounting firm (or an\naccounting firm of equivalent stature reasonably acceptable to LM) that there is\na reasonable basis for the Determination.  Any Gross-Up Payment determined\npursuant to this Section 13 shall be paid by XOOM or NBC Internet, Inc. to LM\nwithin five (5) days of receipt of the Determination.\n\n14.    It is possible that a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion thereof) will be\npaid which should not have been paid (an 'Excess Payment') or a Gross-Up Payment\n(or a portion \n\n\n                                          7\n\n\n\nthereof) which should have been paid will not have been paid (an\n'Underpayment').\n\n       (a)  An Underpayment shall be deemed to have occurred (i) upon a\nreasonable determination, in good faith, by LM's tax advisors that the Gross-Up\nPayment is subject to a tax, all or a portion of which was not taken into\naccount in computing the Gross-Up Payment; (ii) upon notice (formal or informal)\nto LM from any governmental taxing authority that LM's tax liability (whether in\nrespect of LM's current taxable year or in respect of any prior taxable year)\nmay be increased by reason of the imposition of the Excise Tax on a Payment or\nPayments with respect to which XOOM or NBC Internet, Inc. has failed to make a\nsufficient Gross-Up Payment or by reason of the imposition of any tax on the\nGross-Up Payment, all or a portion of which was not taken into account in\ncomputing the Gross-Up Payment, (iii) upon a determination by a court, or (iv)\nby reason of determination by XOOM or NBC Internet, Inc. (which shall include\nthe position taken by XOOM or NBC Internet, Inc., together with its consolidated\ngroup, on its federal income tax return).  If an Underpayment occurs, LM shall\npromptly notify XOOM or NBC Internet, Inc. and XOOM or NBC Internet, Inc. shall\npromptly, but in any event at least five (5) days prior to the date on which the\napplicable government taxing authority has requested payment, pay to LM an\nadditional Gross-Up Payment equal to the amount of the Underpayment plus any\ninterest and penalties (other than interest and penalties imposed by reason of\nLM's failure to file timely a tax return or pay taxes shown due on LM's return\nnot occasioned by the acts or omissions of XOOM or NBC Internet, Inc. or its or\ntheir accounting firm) imposed on the Underpayment.\n\n       (b)  An Excess Payment shall be deemed to have occurred upon a Final\n\n\n                                          8\n\n\n\nDetermination (as hereinafter defined) that the Excise Tax shall not be imposed\nupon a Payment or Payments (or portion thereof) with respect to which LM had\npreviously received a Gross-Up Payment.  A 'Final Determination' shall be deemed\nto have occurred when LM has received from the applicable government taxing\nauthority a refund of taxes or other reduction in LM's tax liability by reason\nof the Excise Payment and upon either (i) the date a determination is made by,\nor an agreement is entered into with, the applicable governmental taxing\nauthority which finally and conclusively binds LM and such taxing authority, or\nin the event that a claim is brought before a court of competent jurisdiction,\nthe date upon which a final determination has been made by such court and either\nall appeals have been taken and finally resolved or the time for all appeals has\nexpired or (ii) the statute of limitations with respect to LM's applicable tax\nreturn has expired.  If an Excess Payment is determined to have been made, the\namount of the Excess Payment shall be treated as a loan by XOOM or NBC Internet,\nInc. to LM, which loan LM must repay to XOOM or NBC Internet, Inc. together with\ninterest at the applicable federal rate under Code Section 7872(f)(2); provided,\nthat no loan shall be deemed to have been made and no amount will be payable by\nLM to XOOM or NBC Internet, Inc. unless, and only to the extent that, the deemed\nloan and payment would either reduce the amount on which LM is subject to tax\nunder Code Section 4999 or generate a refund of tax imposed under Code Section\n4999.\n\n15.    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in\nthe event that, according to the Determination, an Excise Tax will be imposed on\nany \n\n\n                                          9\n\n\n\nPayment or Payments, XOOM or NBC Internet, Inc. shall pay to the applicable\ngovernment taxing authorities, as Excise Tax withholding, the amount of the\nExcise Tax that XOOM or NBC Internet, Inc. has actually withheld from the\nPayment or Payments.\n\n16.    To reflect LM's additional responsibilities in connection with the\ntransition to and integration of the businesses that will comprise NBC Internet,\nInc. (including, for example, the selection and training of a President and\nChief Operating Officer for NBC Internet, Inc.), on May 10, 1999 XOOM has\ngranted LM additional options to purchase 25,000 shares of XOOM stock.  Those\noptions will vest ratably in monthly increments through the end of December\n1999.  They have an exercise price of $45.50 per share.  Those options shall\nbecome options for the purchase of NBC Internet, Inc. stock upon the closing of\nthe Merger referenced in the Contribution Agreement and in accordance with the\nContribution Agreement.  The terms and conditions of those options are\nmemorialized in a separate Stock Option Agreement and related Notice of Stock\nOption Grant.\n\n17.    The parties shall attempt to negotiate arrangements regarding a 'NBC\nInternet, Inc. Europe' that would pursue the NBC Internet, Inc. business in\nEurope.  However, this Section 17 shall not impose any binding obligations on\nany party.\n\n18.    LM shall be given a reasonable opportunity to consult, in advance,\nregarding the contents of any press release or other communication by XOOM, NBC\nInternet, Inc. or any of their affiliates to the extent that press release or\nother communication addresses \n\n\n                                          10\n\n\n\nLM or his status.  In all events, none of XOOM, NBC Internet, Inc. or any of\ntheir affiliates shall, whether orally, in writing or in any other manner,\ndisparage LM or otherwise undermine his reputation.  Notwithstanding anything in\nthis agreement to the contrary, paragraphs 3(e) and 4 of LM's Employment\nAgreement, dated July 1, 1998, shall remain in force, except that Section 11 of\nthis Agreement displaces the penultimate sentence of Section 4 of LM's\nEmployment Agreement.\n\n19.    The parties understand and agree that the preceding Sections recite the\nsole consideration for this Agreement; that no representation or promise has\nbeen made by LM or XOOM concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, except\nas expressly set forth in this Agreement; and that all agreements and\nunderstandings between the parties concerning the subject matter of this\nAgreement are embodied and expressed in this Agreement.  This Agreement shall\nsupersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings among LM\nand XOOM, whether written or oral, express or implied, with respect to the\nemployment, termination, and benefits of LM, except to the extent that the\nprovisions of any such agreement or plan (for example, the agreements and\nnotices memorializing the stock options referenced in this Agreement and the\nplans under which they were granted) have been expressly referred to in this\nAgreement as having continued effect.\n\n20.    Employee Release.  Except as expressly provided below, LM and his\nrepresentatives, heirs, successors, and assigns do hereby completely release and\nforever \n\n\n                                          11\n\n\n\ndischarge XOOM and NBC Internet, Inc., any Affiliate, and its and their present\nand former shareholders, officers, directors, agents, employees, attorneys,\nsuccessors, and assigns (collectively, 'LM Released Parties') from all claims,\nrights, demands, actions, obligations, liabilities, and causes of action of\nevery kind and character, known or unknown, mature or unmatured, which LM may\nhave now or in the future arising from any act or omission or condition\noccurring on or prior to the Effective Date (including, without limitation, the\nfuture effects of such acts, omissions, or conditions), whether based on tort,\ncontract (express or implied), or any federal, state, or local law, statute, or\nregulation (collectively, the 'LM Released Claims').

Except as expressly provided below, XOOM and NBC\nInternet, Inc. and its successors and assigns do hereby completely release and\nforever discharge LM, his spouse, representatives, heirs, successors, and\nassigns (collectively, 'XOOM and NBC Internet, Inc.
