ModusLink Becomes Certified Partner in the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism

Joining Worldwide Supply Chain Security Initiative Ensures Clients and Partners a More Secure and Expeditious Supply Chain

Waltham, MA November 22, 2005 - ModusLink Corporation, a subsidiary of CMGI, Inc. (Nasdaq: CMGI), today announced that it has become a certified partner in the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT), the first worldwide supply chain security initiative designed to reduce the threat of terrorism while facilitating secure, legitimate commerce for employees, suppliers and clients involved in the global supply chain industry. C-TPAT offers ModusLink the opportunity to work directly with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to strengthen border security while ensuring the integrity of international supply chain practices.

ModusLink handles more than 315 million shipments annually from 41 different facilities across 14 countries, making security and efficiency critical to the overall success of its supply chain management operations. ModusLink's certification in C-TPAT helps ensure that processing delays do not impact the secure and timely delivery of goods to clients across the United States.

"ModusLink is committed to protecting America's borders and C-TPAT offered us the opportunity to play an active role in the war against terrorism while also ensuring that legitimate commerce moves across our borders efficiently," said Joseph C. Lawler, President and CEO of CMGI. "As a certified partner, clients have the assurance that their extended supply chain provider has met, and will maintain, the rigorous supply chain security standards agreed upon. Additionally, clients will benefit from priority processing, helping to minimize border delays which can cause undue burden, financial hardship and time-to-market issues."

The goal of C-TPAT is to identify low-risk, trusted import leaders who have solid supply chain security procedures in place and collaborate efforts to ensure a more secure and expeditious international supply chain and facilitate legitimate cargo trade in the United States."
