contemplated by this Agreement, excluding taxes based on NetRatings' net income.

4.   Prosecution, Maintenance and Enforcement of Patents.
     ---------------------------------------------------

     4.1 Prosecution Rights. On and after the Closing Date, the expenses for
         ------------------
prosecuting each Covered Patent (including without limitation any taxes,
annuities and maintenance fees for any pending application and/or issued patent
corresponding to each Covered Patent), and for the issuance of the respective
patent shall be borne by NetRatings. JMM agrees to furnish NetRatings with all
documents and other assistance, as such may be necessary, for the prosecution of
each application. JMM agrees that it will not challenge the validity or
enforceability of the Covered Patents, and will not assist, assign or cooperate,
directly or indirectly, in (i) challenging the validity or enforceability of any
claims of the Covered Patents in any action or (ii) defending any third party in
an infringement action asserted by NetRatings related to the Covered Patents.

     4.2 Notification of Infringement. JMM shall promptly inform NetRatings of
         ----------------------------
any suspected infringement of any of the Covered Patents by a third party.

<PAGE>

     4.3 Further Assurances. JMM shall perform all acts deemed necessary or
         ------------------
desirable by NetRatings to permit and assist NetRatings, at NetRatings' expense,
in perfecting and enforcing its rights throughout the world in the Covered
Patents. Such acts may include, but are not limited to, execution of documents
and assistance or cooperation in the registration and enforcement, including
litigation, of the Covered Patents or other legal proceedings. Concurrent with
the execution of this Agreement, NetRatings shall receive from JMM assignments
substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 ("Patent Assignment") with respect to
                             -----------
the Covered Patents, duly executed on behalf of JMM by an officer and notarized,
and in a form acceptable for recording with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office and any patent office in any other jurisdiction, as applicable.
In the event that NetRatings is unable for any reason whatsoever to secure a
signature to any document it believes is reasonably required in order to apply
for or execute any paper with respect to the Covered Patents (including
improvements, renewals, extensions, continuations, divisions or continuations in
part thereof), JMM hereby irrevocably designate and appoint NetRatings and its
duly authorized officers and agents as NetRatings' agents and its
attorneys-in-fact to act for and on its behalf and instead of it, to execute and
file any such paper and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the
prosecution and issuance of patents or other rights therein in the Covered
Patents with the same legal force and effect as if executed by NetRatings.

     4.4 Disclosure of Information. JMM will not disclose to any third party any
         -------------------------
information it has obtained in connection with the prosecution of the Covered
Patents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if JMM is served with a subpoena or
court order requiring the disclosure of information relating to any Covered
Patent, JMM shall promptly notify NetRatings and cooperate, at NetRatings'
expense, in obtaining enough time for NetRatings to object to such disclosure,
move for a protective order, seek to limit such production of information and/or
to quash the subpoena.

5.   Warranties.

     5.1 Ownership. JMM owns all the Subject IP, free and clear of all
         ---------
Encumbrances and any exclusive licenses or rights to use the same, and JMM is
not a joint owner of any portion of the Subject IP with any third party. All
designs, drawings, specifications, source code, object code, documentation, flow
charts and diagrams incorporated, embodied or reflected in any Subject IP at any
stage of its development were written, developed and created solely and
exclusively by employees of JMM without the assistance of any third party.

     5.2 Disclosure. Exhibits A ("JMM Patents") contain an accurate and complete
         ----------  ----------
list of all jurisdictions in which each Covered Patent has been issued or
registered or in which any such application for such issuance or registration
has been filed (collectively, the "Intellectual Property Registrations").

     5.3 Licenses to and from Third Parties. As of the Effective Date, Section
         ----------------------------------
5.3 of Exhibit D ("Disclosure Schedule") attached hereto (the "Disclosure
       ---------

which any third party is authorized to use any Covered Patents ("Third Party
Out-Bound Licenses") and (ii) all licenses, sublicenses and other agreements

and pursuant to which JMM is authorized to use any Intellectual Property owned
by a third party and which is used by JMM in the manufacture of, incorporated in
or forms a part of any Covered Patents or PC Meter Technology. To the knowledge
of JMM, no third party subject to a Third Party Out-Bound License is in breach
or default of such Third Party Out-Bound License.

     5.4 No Conflicts or Consents. The execution and delivery of this Agreement,
         ------------------------
compliance with its terms and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby do not and will not conflict with, or result in any violation or breach
of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) or give rise to
any right, license or Encumbrance relating to the Subject IP, or right of
termination,

any Subject IP or material benefit related thereto, or result in or require the
creation, imposition or extension of any Encumbrance upon any Subject IP or
otherwise impair the right of NetRatings, its subsidiaries or affiliated
companies, or its customers to use the Subject IP as contemplated by this
Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 5.4 of the Disclosure Schedule, no
consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or
filing with, any third party or any governmental authority is required to be
obtained on the part of JMM to permit the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

     5.5 No Notice of Claims. JMM (i) has not received notice that it has been
         -------------------
sued in any suit, action or proceeding which involves a claim of infringement of
any portion of the Subject IP; and (ii) has no knowledge of any claim
challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any license or
agreement relating to any Subject IP or Third Party In-Bound License. Except
with respect to the Action, there is no outstanding order, writ, injunction,
decree, judgment or stipulation by or with any court, administrative agency or
arbitration panel regarding patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, trade
name, mask work right or other claims relating to the Subject IP to which JMM is
a party or by which it is bound.

     5.6 Protection of Confidential Information. JMM has taken all reasonable
         --------------------------------------
measures and precautions to protect and maintain the confidentiality, secrecy
and value of all material trade secrets or confidential information included in

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all current and former
employees of JMM who are or were involved in, or who have contributed to, the
creation or development of any portion of the Covered Patents have executed and
delivered to JMM an agreement that is substantially identical to the form of
confidential information and invention assignment agreement previously delivered

interest in or with respect to any Covered Patent.

are due (and have not yet been paid) in any jurisdiction in which such
Intellectual Property Registration has been filed at any time through the end of
the first two (2) full calendar quarters after the Closing Date or for which any
action must be taken under the Patent Cooperation Treaty or in any jurisdiction
in which such Intellectual Property Registration has been filed in order to
preserve any rights in or to the Covered Patents at any time in such period.

6.   Termination of License Back
     ---------------------------

     6.1 By NetRatings. In the event that JMM breaches any material provision of
         -------------

receiving written notice thereof from NetRatings, the license back granted to
JMM pursuant to Section 2.1(b) (License Back to JMM) shall be deemed terminated

terminate the license it received pursuant to Section 2.1(b) (License Back to
JMM), together with all corresponding payment obligations hereunder, upon thirty

next succeeding month or Quarter, as applicable, (i) the Notice Period expires
and (ii) JMM (or its Transferee) has certified in writing to NetRatings that it
---

payments paid through the effective termination date of the license. For
purposes of this Agreement, "JMM Business" shall mean the provision of research,
advisory and measurement products and services based primarily on the collection
of internet audience measurement data by JMM (or any Transferee) to persons who

(whether the revenue is derived from existing contracts, extensions or renewals
or modifications thereof, or from new contracts with the same customers) or (b)
customers to whom JMM (including any Transferee) provides such products and
services with the use of the Covered Patent.

     WHEREAS, the undersigned, Jupiter Media Metrix, Inc., a Delaware

     WHEREAS, NetRatings, Inc., a Delaware corporation having a place of

desirous of acquiring the Assigned Patent Properties and any rights in the

     1. Effective upon execution, Assignor does hereby sell, assign, transfer
and convey unto Assignee, all of their right, title and interest together with
the benefits and privileges in and to all inventions and discoveries set forth
in the Assigned Patent Properties;

     2. Assignor hereby covenants and agrees to cooperate with Assignee to
enable Assignee to obtain, sustain, enforce and enjoy to the fullest extent all
right, title and interest herein conveyed in any country. Such cooperation by
Assignor shall include production of pertinent facts and documents, giving of
