THE WEB 2.0 UNIVERSE


80 public Web 2.0 companies identified: W e have identified 80 public companies for our W eb 2.0 universe with a
combined market cap of almost $25 billion. These include a wide variety of companies, including MMOG (Massive Multi-
Player Online Gaming) companies, social networking software companies, media sharing companies, and social lending
companies. See below for a summary of the full universe (Figure 1). Note that we have not included the large technology
and media companies such as Google, Yahoo, Disney, and Sony in our universe as they would skew the results due to
their immense size relative to the rest of the group. The average market cap for the group is over $300 million, with
average trailing revenue of $100 million. The companies are also highly profitable with an average EBITDA margin of
17.6%. On a valuation basis, the overall average is 4.0x trailing revenue and 9.4x trailing EBITDA. Seventeen of the
companies have more than 500 employees.

credit facility at any time. As of January 27, 2009, the line of credit facility bears interest at 4% per annum. The
Company's line of credit is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets and requires the Company to comply
with customary affirmative and negative covenants principally relating to use and disposition of assets, the satisfaction of
a liquidity coverage ratio test and minimum EBITDA requirements. In addition, the credit arrangement contains customary
events of default. Upon the occurrence of an uncured event of default, among other things, the Bank may declare that all
