IN NOVEMBER 1996, THE COMPANY MERGED WITH TESSIER TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ("TTI") AND ACQUIRED GALACTICOMM, INC., ITS OPERATING SUBSIDIARY. UNLESS THE CONTEXT OTHERWISE REQUIRES OR UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED: (I) ALL REFERENCES TO THE "COMPANY" THROUGHOUT THIS PROSPECTUS REFER TO THE COMBINED OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY, GALACTICOMM, INC. AND TTI; (II) ALL FINANCIAL DATA IN THIS PROSPECTUS REFLECTS THE PRO FORMA COMBINED OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY, GALACTICOMM, INC. AND TTI AS IF THE COMPANY HAD ACQUIRED SUCH COMPANIES ON JANUARY 1, 1995 OR 1996; AND (III) ALL INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS GIVES EFFECT TO A 4.061771824 TO ONE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT WHICH OCCURRED IN SEPTEMBER 1997. SEE "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--INTRODUCTION." THE COMPANY Galacticomm Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") develops, markets, licenses and supports software that enables users to communicate and conduct business over the Internet, intranets, or other online communications systems. The majority of the Company's software products are derived from the Company's flagship product, Worldgroup v3.0 for Windows NT and Windows 95, which is an integrated suite of five communications programs (E-mail, Polls and Questionnaires, Newsgroups, Shared File Libraries and Chat) that enables an individual or enterprise to establish an online system, an intranet or website. Scheduled for release in December 1997, Worldgroup v3.1 will offer complete access to a Worldgroup server using only a standard browser, such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Netscape's Navigator, through the World Wide Web. The Company estimates that Worldgroup and its predecessor product, Major BBS, have been installed on more than 10,000 online systems worldwide, including systems currently operated by Fortune 500 companies, financial institutions and government agencies. Worldgroup features an open (non-proprietary) set of interfaces, which allow Worldgroup to serve as the software platform for specific communication solutions for a variety of businesses and industries. In conjunction with third party developers, the Company has designed intranets and other online systems for specific projects relating to education, trading, online gaming, virtual office and home television. In addition, over 200 independent software developers have designed more than 500 available products that enhance online systems which utilize the Worldgroup software. Worldgroup software is currently available in 10 languages. The Company has recently released or has under development for release during 1997 several products, including: WEBCAST. Released in March 1997, WebCast allows users to make live audio and visual broadcasts, and broadcast prerecorded videos on demand, over the Internet to viewers who need only use a standard web browser to receive the broadcast. The Company markets WebCast directly to individual consumers and to businesses through computer catalogs, retail outlets and bundling agreements with camera manufacturers. The Company has recently entered into strategic alliances to bundle WebCast with cameras and other hardware recently introduced by Eastman Kodak, Boca Research, Specom Technologies, Best Data Products and Aztech New Media Corp. WORLDLINK. Scheduled for release by December 1997, Worldlink allows a Worldgroup community to link with other Worldgroup systems. The Company believes that the future development and organization of online communities will result in additional Worldgroup systems and present opportunities to introduce new products for Worldgroup system users. Worldlink with a graphical interface for users is currently being beta-tested. ACTIBASE. Scheduled for release in December 1997, Actibase is an Internet database connectivity program that is fully integrated with the Worldgroup server database. Actibase enables a company to publish any of its databases directly onto the Worldwide Web, with only limited knowledge of computer database programming. Actibase will be offered as a stand-alone product as well as an add-on product to Worldgroup and WebCast. Actibase is currently being beta-tested. NETDISC. NetDisc is an advertising vehicle that uses the Internet and a CD Rom disc to promote products to a specifically targeted market of consumers. The Company's netDisc technology incorporates advertising video clips and website links to advertisers' web pages. NetDisc's game format allows users to win promotional prizes. In conjunction with advertising agencies and magazine publishers, the Company intends to insert the netDisc in magazines, the first installment of which is anticipated to be the April 1998 issue of MOTOR TREND magazine. The Company's objective is to become a leading developer of communications software for the Internet, intranet and other online communications systems. The Company intends to achieve its objective by: (i) developing customized intranets and other applications using Worldgroup as the software foundation; (ii) continually upgrading Worldgroup and other programs and offering new programs that deliver customers high levels of performance, ease of use and security; and (iii) establishing strategic alliances to increase sales and facilitate market acceptance of the Company's products. 3 The Company's executive offices are located at 4101 S.W. 47th Avenue, Suite 101, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33314. The Company can be reached by telephone at (954) 583-5990 or through its website at http:/www.gcomm.com.

5 RISK FACTORS AN INVESTMENT IN THE UNITS OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE FOLLOWING RISKS BEFORE MAKING AN INVESTMENT IN THE UNITS OFFERED HEREBY. THIS INVESTMENT IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT BEAR THE RISKS DESCRIBED BELOW. THIS PROSPECTUS CONTAINS "FORWARD-LOOKING" STATEMENTS. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE STATEMENTS ABOUT EVENTS THAT HAVE NOT OCCURRED. THEY INCLUDE STATEMENTS ABOUT THE COMPANY'S FUTURE PLANS, GROWTH STRATEGIES AND INDUSTRY TRENDS. THEY ALSO INCLUDE STATEMENTS WITH WORDS SUCH AS "ANTICIPATE," "INTEND," "BELIEVE," "PLAN," "ESTIMATE," AND "EXPECT." THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE BASED LARGELY ON THE COMPANY'S EXPECTATIONS AND ARE SUBJECT TO A NUMBER OF RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, MANY OF WHICH ARE BEYOND THE COMPANY'S CONTROL. ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF THE FACTORS DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING SECTION AS WELL AS ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. IN LIGHT OF THESE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS WILL IN FACT TRANSPIRE OR PROVE TO BE ACCURATE. LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; ACCUMULATED DEFICIT The Company was incorporated in December 1995 and therefore has only a limited operating history. Although the Company's operating subsidiary, Galacticomm, Inc., has conducted operations since 1985, Galacticomm, Inc.'s business and operations have only been operated by the Company and its management team since November 1996. Furthermore, the Company's business plan is significantly different from and larger in scope than Galacticomm, Inc.'s historic business. Accordingly, the Company's prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets, such as computer software and the Internet. To address these risks, the Company must, among other things, respond to competitive developments, endeavor to attract, retain and motivate qualified persons, and continue to upgrade its technologies and commercialize products and services incorporating such technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in addressing such risks. The Company has incurred net losses since inception. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $2,140,226. Pursuant to its business strategy, the Company expects to continue to make expenditures on new product introductions, marketing, and research and development, all of which will adversely affect operating results until revenues from sales of such products reach a level at which these costs are supported. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or sustain profitability. FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS The Company's quarterly operating results have varied significantly in the past and the Company expects that they will continue to vary in the future. Sales in any one quarter may fluctuate based upon a number of factors, including: (i) the timing of the release of new products or product upgrades by the Company or its competitors, (ii) the size and timing of individual orders by customers, (iii) deferral of orders by customers in anticipation of new products or product upgrades, (iv) technological changes in the operating systems upon which the Company's products run, and (v) changes in the Internet or other networking technology. Fluctuations in operating results may increase as a result of the Company's business strategy to develop and sell customized applications to larger customers to meet their specific requirements. See "--Length of Sales Cycles." The Company believes it will be difficult to predict the timing of these types of sales because they are subject to both designing the solution to meet the customer's needs and convincing the customer to purchase the products, and other risks over which the Company has little or no control. The Company's expenses for each quarter are generally fixed and the Company is generally unable to adjust its spending quickly enough to compensate for unexpected shortfalls in sales. Consequently, a significant shortfall in revenues in any quarter could immediately harm the Company's operating results. As a result, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its operating results will not necessarily be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. PRODUCT CONCENTRATION Revenues from Worldgroup comprise a substantial portion of the Company's revenues. Although the Company has recently introduced several new software products in an effort to, among other things, diversify its sources of revenues, the Company expects that sales of and licenses for the use of Worldgroup (and other software products which are based on the Worldgroup platform) will continue to account for a significant portion of the Company's revenues. Consequently, declines in demand for Worldgroup and related products, whether as a result of competition, technological change or otherwise, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. 6 NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE The market for the Company's software and services is characterized by rapidly changing technology and industry standards. The introduction of products embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards can quickly render existing software obsolete and unmarketable. The Company's future success will depend in part on its ability to enhance existing products and services and to develop and introduce new products and services to meet changing customer demands. Specifically, the Company's new products (and enhancements) must: (i) incorporate new and evolving industry standards, (ii) continue to offer improved performance and features, (iii) respond to evolving customer needs, and (iv) achieve market acceptance. The development of new products and services or enhanced versions of existing products and services entails significant technical risks. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in developing and marketing product enhancements or new services and products that respond to technological change or evolving industry standards, that the Company will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and marketing of these services or products, or that its new services and products will adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace and achieve market acceptance. If the Company is unable, for technological or other reasons, to develop and introduce new services or products in a timely and cost-effective manner or to address compatibility, inoperability or other issues raised by technological changes or new industry standards, the Company's business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. COMPETITION The Company faces intense and increasing competition from other software companies. The Company's Worldgroup line of products faces competition from a number of products that permit information exchange in ways similar to Worldgroup, including: (i) Microsoft Back Office; (ii) Lotus Domino, and (iii) Novell's Intranet Ware. WebCast, the Company's web broadcast software, competes with products offered by, among others, White Pine Software, Inc., Progressive Networks, Xing Technology Corporation, NetSpeak, VocalTec, Vivo Software, Inc. and VDOnet Corporation. Many of the Company's competitors are substantially larger than the Company, have greater financial resources and name recognition than the Company, and longer operating histories in the Internet and intranet markets and greater technical and marketing resources than the Company. As a result, such competitors may have a competitive advantage over the Company in that such companies may be able to respond more quickly than the Company to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer needs, or to devote greater resources than the Company to the development, promotion and sale of their products. The Company competes on the basis of: (i) price, (ii) ease of use and performance of its products and (iii) responsive and reliable service. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully compete against its current or future competitors. LENGTH OF SALES CYCLES The Company must successfully develop new sales methods and adjust to longer sales cycles. A component of the Company's current business strategy is to develop customized applications using its Worldgroup technology as a platform for such applications. The Company intends to develop customized products on its own or with third party software developers and then sell these products to companies, government agencies or other organizations. These types of customers tend to carefully review their software purchases and require the software seller to educate them about how the product works. Consequently, sales to these customers generally take longer to complete. Furthermore, the final sale to these customers often requires approval of the chief executive officer (for companies) or a review board (for government agencies). The Company expects to invest a significant amount of time and resources in the sales process for these types of customers before it completes any such sales. Thus, the Company's revenues for a particular period may be impacted if sales to such customers forecasted to close in that period are delayed by reason of the education or approval process, or otherwise. In addition, the Company's financial condition could be harmed if a number of these types of customers eventually decide not to purchase the Company's products. UNCERTAINTY REGARDING TRADEMARK PROTECTION Although the Company has several pending trademark applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the "PTO"), the Company has only one federal registration, for the trademark "Galacticomm." No assurance can be given that the PTO will grant registrations for the Company's pending trademark applications. Among other things, it is possible that the Company's trademarks, including "WebCast," could be deemed to be generic by the PTO, in which case neither the Company nor any third party could claim exclusive rights to such term. In such event, the Company intends to associate the generic term with registrable or registered trademarks or logos in order to gain trademark protection over the resulting composite mark. 7 In July 1997, the Company became aware of the existence of a third party which may claim a prior right in the trademark "Worldgroup." The Company and the third party are presently discussing a co-existence arrangement whereby the Company would have the right, without the payment of a royalty, to continue to use the trademark "Worldgroup" on its present products and services. Although the third party does not presently distribute products that compete with the Company's products, the licensing arrangement presently under discussion would not preclude the third party from using the "Worldgroup" trademark in competition with the Company. Also in July 1997, the Company became aware that several other third parties filed applications for registration for the trademark "WebCast," before the Company filed its application. If "WebCast" is determined not to be generic and one of the third party applications matures into a registration, then such third party will have superior rights to the Company. If a third party has superior rights to any of the Company's trademarks, the Company believes that when the Company first commenced use of its trademarks, it acted innocently, unintentionally, and without knowledge of the existence of any third party's purported rights in such marks. Furthermore, if the third party user of "Worldgroup" decides to enforce its trademark rights through an infringement action, the Company believes that valid defenses exist with respect to any such action, including, without limitation, waiver, estoppel and laches and that as a result thereof, any liability of the Company should be limited to injunctive relief prohibiting the Company from future use of such mark. Trademark litigation is expensive and complex and the outcome of such litigation is difficult to predict. Generally, if a court were to find that the Company unintentionally infringed a third party's mark, the Company's liability would be limited to its actual net profit from the sale of infringing products, the third party's actual damages, and injunctive relief. On the other hand, if a court were to find that the Company has wilfully infringed a third party's trademark, the Company could be enjoined from further use of the trademark and could be liable, under the federal Lanham Act, for the lesser of: (i) the Company's net profit stemming from the sale of infringing products and (ii) the third party's actual damages, plus three times the greater of: (a) the Company's profit from the sale of the infringing product, and (b) the third party's actual damages, plus prejudgment interest, attorneys' fees, and the cost of litigation. OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS The Company regards its software as proprietary and attempts to protect it with copyrights, restrictions on disclosure, copying and transferring title, and enforcement of trade secret laws. Despite these precautions, it is possible for unauthorized third parties to copy the Company's products and it may be possible for them to obtain and use information that the Company regards as proprietary. Although the Company has filed a federal patent application with respect to netDisc, no assurance can be given as to the issuance of a patent or as to the breadth or degree of protection any issued patent may afford. In addition, existing copyright laws give only limited protection to its software and some foreign countries' laws do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as United States laws. Consistent with the general practice of software developed for retail sale, the Company licenses its products primarily under "shrink wrap" license agreements that are not signed by licensees and therefore may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. Except to the extent noted above with respect to certain trademark matters, the Company is not aware that it is infringing or violating any proprietary rights of any third party relating to the Company or the Company's products. The computer software market is characterized by frequent and substantial intellectual property litigation and it is possible that third parties might assert infringement claims against the Company in the future. If this occurs, the Company might be forced into costly litigation or have to obtain a license to the intellectual property rights of others. It is possible that such licenses may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all. The Company currently licenses some of its technology from third parties. In the future, these third party technology licenses may not be available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If the Company cannot maintain any of these technology licenses, it is possible that product shipments could be delayed and the Company's financial condition could be harmed. DEPENDENCE ON THE INTERNET The success of the Company's products and services depends on the continued development and growth of the Internet and on the need of businesses and other organizations to continue to develop private intranets. The Internet is new and evolving and may not develop into the large commercial marketplace that many predict. The following factors could slow the growth of the Internet: (i) inadequate development of the necessary infrastructure (e.g., reliable network backbone), (ii) untimely development of affordable complementary products, (e.g., high speed modems), (iii) delays in the development or adoption of new standards to handle increased levels of Internet activity, or (iv) increased government regulation. The number of Internet and intranet users has grown significantly over the last few years and is expected to continue to grow. See "Business--Industry Background." No assurance can be given that the Internet infrastructure will continue to support the demands placed on it by this continued growth. The Company's financial condition could be harmed if the Internet does not become a viable commercial marketplace. 8 POTENTIAL FOR UNDETECTED ERROR The Company's software may contain undetected errors or "bugs" when first introduced or when new versions are released. To prevent defects, the Company seeks to test its products before they are commercially released. Despite its quality control efforts, it is possible that the Company may release new products (or upgrades of existing products) that contain bugs. The Company's inadvertent release of products containing bugs could result in: (i) revenue loss, (ii) delay in market acceptance of the product, (iii) increased service costs, and (iv) damage to the Company's reputation. DEPENDENCE ON KEY EMPLOYEES The Company's success depends on the performance of the senior management, particularly the Chief Executive Officer, Peter Berg, and the President, Yannick Tessier. See "Management." Mr. Berg and Mr. Tessier are also two of the largest shareholders of the Company. See "Principal Shareholders." Although the Company has entered into employment agreements with each of Mr. Berg and Mr. Tessier which do not expire until November 20, 1999, such employment agreements may be terminated by the employee upon notice for any reason. The Company's success also depends on its ability to retain and motivate other key employees, particularly software developers, software programmers and customer support personnel. Competition for these types of employees is intense and no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to attract or retain satisfactory personnel. The loss of the services of Mr. Berg, Mr. Tessier or other key employees could harm the Company's prospects for success. MANAGEMENT OF A GROWING BUSINESS The Company intends to expand its business and operations by continuing to improve Worldgroup, its flagship communications software product, developing new products, designing customized applications for customers, and creating a global network of Worldgroup communities. This growth strategy will place significant demands on the Company's executive officers and financial resources. To be successful, the Company must continue to implement and improve its operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage its employee base. No assurance can be given that management will be able to successfully manage a rapidly growing business as will be required to fully exploit the market for the Company's products and services. Furthermore, the Company may acquire new companies or products in the future, although the Company does not presently have any understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisition. Acquisitions involve many unique risks including assimilating acquired operations and products and the diversion of management's attention from the Company's primary business. ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS The Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions that may have the effect of discouraging certain transactions involving an actual or threatened change of control of the Company. See "Description of Securities--Certain Provisions of the Articles and Bylaws." Furthermore, the Company's Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of "blank check" preferred stock with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Board of Directors is empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could materially adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the Common Stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying, or preventing a change in control of the Company. Although the Company has no present intention to designate a series or issue any shares of its preferred stock, there can be no assurance that the Company will not do so in the future. To the extent takeover attempts are discouraged by the foregoing provisions, temporary fluctuations in the market price of the Common Stock, which may result from actual or rumored takeover attempts, may be inhibited. ABSENCE OF DIVIDENDS The Company has not paid any dividends and does not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future and intends to retain earnings, if any, to provide funds for general corporate purposes and the implementation of the Company's business plan. IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION The purchase price of the Units substantially exceeds the tangible book value of the Common Stock. Assuming a $ offering price per Unit, Purchasers will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering in the amount of $ ____ per share or ____ % of the offering price per Unit. In addition, the 9 Company may issue a substantial number of additional shares of Common Stock in the future upon the exercise of options and warrants having an exercise price below the initial public offering price of the Units. The issuance of a material number of such shares may have the effect of increasing the dilution to new investors in this offering. See "Dilution." DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE AND EXERCISE PRICE; NO ASSURANCE OF PUBLIC MARKET Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the Units, the Warrants or the Common Stock. The Company has applied to list the Units, the Warrants, and the Common Stock for quotation on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market. No assurance can be given that such securities will be accepted for listing, or, if accepted, that a trading market for such securities will develop, or be sustained. The initial public offering price of the Units and the exercise price and other terms of the Warrants have been determined by negotiation between the Company and the Representative and may not be indicative of the market price for the securities after the offering. The market prices for securities of emerging companies, especially those involved in computers and high technology, have historically been highly volatile and may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. Future announcements concerning the Company or its competitors, including technological innovations or new commercial products, may have a significant impact on the market price of the Company's securities. See "Underwriting." CURRENT PROSPECTUS AND STATE REGISTRATION NEEDED TO EXERCISE WARRANTS The Warrants may only be exercised if a current prospectus relating to the Common Stock is then in effect under the Securities Act. While the Company will use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of a current prospectus, the Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to do so. After a registration statement becomes effective, it may require continuous updating by the filing of post-effective amendments. A post-effective amendment is required (i) when, for a prospectus that is used more than nine months after the effective date of the registration statement, the information contained therein (including the certified financial statements) is as of a date more than 16 months prior to the use of the prospectus, (ii) when facts or events have occurred which represent a fundamental change in the information contained in the registration statement, or (iii) when any material change occurs in the information relating to the plan of distribution of the securities registered by such registration statement. Furthermore, the Warrants may only be exercised if the Common Stock is qualified for sale or exempt from qualification in the state where the holder of the Warrant resides. The Warrants may have no value if the Common Stock underlying the Warrants is not qualified or exempt from qualification in a particular state, or if a prospectus is not kept current. REDEMPTION OF WARRANTS The Warrants are subject to redemption by the Company, at any time commencing 30 days after the First Exercise Date upon 30 days' prior written notice to the holders thereof, if the average of the closing bid and asked price for the Common Stock for a period of 20 consecutive trading days ending three trading days prior to the date of the redemption notice is at least equal to 150% of the exercise price of the Warrants. In the event that the Warrants are called for redemption by the Company, Warrant holders will have 30 days during which they may exercise their rights to purchase shares of Common Stock. In the event a current prospectus is not available, the Warrants may not be exercised and the Company will be precluded from redeeming the Warrants. If holders of the Warrants elect not to exercise them upon notice of redemption, and the Warrants are subsequently redeemed prior to exercise, the holders would lose the benefit of the difference between the market price of the underlying Common Stock as of such date and the exercise price of such Warrants, as well as any possible future price appreciation in the Common Stock. As a result of an exercise of the Warrants, existing shareholders would be diluted and the market price of the Common Stock may be adversely affected. See "Description of Securities - Warrants." ADJUSTMENTS TO WARRANT EXERCISE PRICE AND EXERCISE DATE AND IMPACT OF WARRANT EXERCISE ON MARKET The Company, in its sole discretion, and in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement with the Warrant Agent, may reduce the exercise price of the Warrants and extend the time within which the Warrants may be exercised, depending on such things as current market conditions, the market price of the Common Stock and the Company's need for additional capital. Further, in the event that the Company issues certain securities or makes certain distributions to the holders of its Common Stock, the exercise price of the Warrants (and the shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise thereof) may be proportionately reduced. Any such price reductions (assuming exercise of the Warrants) will provide less money for the Company and could possibly adversely affect the market price of the Company's securities. Furthermore, if a substantial number of Warrants are exercised within a reasonably short period of time after the right to exercise commences, the resulting increase in the amount of Common Stock of the Company in the trading market could substantially affect the market price of the Common Stock. See "Description of Securities - Warrants." 10 EXERCISE OF OUTSTANDING OPTIONS AND WARRANTS In addition to the _________ Warrants to be issued in connection with this offering ( Warrants if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), the Company, upon completion of this offering, will sell the Representative Unit Purchase Option ("UPO"), which will entitle the Representative to purchase _______ Representative Units. See "Underwriting." The Company has also issued Bridge Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 957,600 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.75 per share until October 27, 2000. See "Recent Financings." The shares of Common Stock underlying the UPO and Bridge Warrants have been included in the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. See "Description of Securities--Registration Rights and Sales by Selling Shareholders." Furthermore, the Company has 164,337 outstanding options under the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan with an exercise price of $6.50 per share and options and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 536,625 shares of Common Stock outside the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan, that are exercisable at prices below the estimated initial offering price of the Units offered hereby. See "Description of Securities--Outstanding Option and Warrants." It may be expected that the such options and warrants will be exercised only if it is advantageous to the holders thereof. Therefore, during the period in which such options and warrants may be exercised, the holders thereof are given the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of the Common Stock. To the extent that such options and warrants are exercised, dilution to the interests of the Company's shareholders will occur. Further, the terms upon which the Company will be able to obtain additional capital may be adversely affected since the holders of such options and warrants can be expected to exercise them at a time when the Company would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to the Company than those provided by such options and warrants. SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE; REGISTRATION RIGHTS Sales of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock in the public market following this offering could adversely affect the market price for the Common Stock. Prior to this offering, there are 4,367,245 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Of such amount, shareholders owning an aggregate of ______ shares of Common Stock have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of their shares of Common Stock for a period of one year from the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Representative. Subject to such lock-up period, the outstanding shares of Common Stock may be sold without registration under the Securities Act in compliance with Rule 144. In general, under Rule 144, a person who has satisfied a one-year holding period may under certain circumstances sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the reported average weekly trading volume in the four weeks preceding the sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of shares without any quantity limitation by a person who is not an affiliate of the company and who has satisfied a two year holding period. See "Description of Securities--Shares Eligible for Future Sale." In addition, the Company has granted certain demand and registration rights with respect to _______ shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock and ________ shares of Common Stock underlying the Bridge Warrants, the UPOs and other options and warrants. The shares of Common Stock underlying the Bridge Warrants have been included in the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, although such shares may not be sold prior to six months from the date of this Prospectus, unless otherwise agreed to by the Representative. The exercise of registration rights would permit a large number of shares to become freely tradeable without restriction (subject to any lock-up arrangements) under the Securities Act immediately upon effectiveness of such registration. See "Description of Securities--Registration Rights and Sales by Selling Shareholders." POSSIBLE DELISTING OF SECURITIES FROM NASDAQ AND RISKS OF COMMON STOCK TRADING BELOW $5.00 PER SHARE. Upon consummation of this offering, the Common Stock, the Warrants and the Units (collectively the "Securities") are expected to be listed on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market. In order to qualify for continued listing on the SmallCap Market, the Company will be subject to compliance with maintenance and corporate governance requirements, including: (i) net tangible assets of at least $2 million, market capitalization of $35,000,000, or net income of $500,000; (ii) a public float of at least 500,000 shares valued at $1 million or more; (iii) at least two market makers; (iv) at least 300 shareholders; and (v) a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. The corporate governance requirements for the SmallCap Market require distribution of annual and interim reports to shareholders, a minimum of two independent directors, an audit committee comprised of a majority of independent directors, an annual shareholder meeting, a quorum requirement, solicitations of proxies, review of conflicts of interest, shareholder approval for certain corporate actions and voting rights protection. In the event that the Company is unable to satisfy the requirements for continued quotation on NASDAQ, trading in the Securities would be conducted in the over-the-counter market in what are commonly referred to as the "pink sheets" or on the NASD Electronic Bulletin Board. As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the price of the Securities. In addition, if the Securities are suspended or terminated from NASDAQ and at such time has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, then the sale of the Common Stock would become subject to certain "penny stock" regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission which impose sales practice 11 requirements on broker-dealers. For example, broker-dealers selling the Securities would, prior to effecting the transaction, be required to provide their customers with a document which discloses the risks of investing in the Securities. Furthermore, if the person purchasing the Securities is someone other than an accredited investor or an established customer of the broker-dealer, the broker-dealer must also approve the potential customer's account by obtaining information concerning the customer's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. The broker-dealer must also make a determination whether the transaction is suitable for the customer and whether the customer has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be reasonably expected to be capable of evaluating the risk of transactions in the Securities. Accordingly, if the listing of the Securities is suspended or terminated from NASDAQ and is trading for less than $5.00 per share, the penny stock regulations may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Securities and may affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell the Securities in the secondary market. USE OF PROCEEDS The net proceeds that the Company will receive from the sale of the ___________ Units offered hereby, based upon an assumed offering price of $ _____ per Unit and after deduction of underwriting discounts, the non-accountable expense allowance and other offering expenses, will be approximately $6,933,000 ($8,029,200 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full). The Company intends to use such proceeds as follows:
APPROXIMATE APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS DOLLAR AMOUNT PERCENTAGE ----------------------- ------------- ---------- Advertising and Marketing Programs(1) $2,750,000 39.7% Repayment of Bridge Notes(2) $2,150,000 31.0% Repayment of Indebtedness to Shareholders(3) $ 200,000 2.8% Research and Development(4) $ 800,000 11.5% Working Capital and General Corporate Purposes(5) $ 608,000 8.8% Capital Expenditures(6) $ 425,000 6.2% -------------- (1) Includes expenditures for trade shows, product catalogs, print advertising, cooperative dealer advertising, public relations and the hiring of sales and marketing personnel. (2) Repayment of principal and estimated interest under the Bridge Notes sold in connection with the Bridge Financing. The Bridge Notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per year and are due and payable at the closing of this offering. See "Recent Financings." (3) Repayment of a non-interest bearing note in the amount of $50,000 to Yannick Tessier which is payable by the Company by no later than December 31, 1997 and repayment of interest (estimated at approximately $150,000) accrued under the 10% Wallenberg Trust Note and UA Partners Note, which interest is due and payable within five days of the effective date of this Prospectus. See "Certain Transactions." (4) Includes the hiring of research and development personnel and purchase of software development tools and related equipment. See "Business--Research and Development." (5) Proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option, if any, will be added to working capital. (6) For leasehold improvements, office furniture and modules and computer equipment.
The foregoing represents the Company's best estimate of its allocation of the net proceeds from this offering based upon the current state of the Company's business operations, its current plans and current economic conditions. Based on the Company's current proposed plans and assumptions relating to the implementation of its business strategy, the Company anticipates that net proceeds from this offering will be sufficient to satisfy its contemplated cash requirements for at least 18 months following the consummation of this offering. Future events, including the problems, delays, expenses and complications frequently encountered by software companies as well as changes in regulatory, political and competitive conditions affecting the Company's business and the success or lack thereof of the Company's business strategy, may necessitate shifts in the allocation of funds. The Company also reserves the right to allocate the net proceeds for acquisitions. The Company does not have any present understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to an acquisition. Pending use of the proceeds of this offering, the Company may invest such funds in interest bearing accounts, certificates of deposit, money market funds or similar short-term investments. 12 CAPITALIZATION The left hand column of the following table presents the actual capitalization of the Company as of June 30, 1997. The middle column of this table presents the pro forma capitalization of the Company at June 30, 1997, after giving effect to the Bridge Financing and the application of the proceeds therefrom. See "Recent Financings." The right hand column has been adjusted to give effect to: (i) the sale of the Units offered hereby (based upon an assumed offering price of $ per share) and the application of the proceeds therefrom; and (ii) the issuance immediately prior to the date of this Prospectus of 537,337 shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of two convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $1,375,000. This table should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes beginning on page F-1 of this Prospectus.

(2) Excludes: (i) 370,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options under the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan, of which 164,337 options are presently issued and outstanding; (ii) 363,143 shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon the exercise of options granted outside the 1997 Stock Option Plan; (iii) 173,482 shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon the exercise of two warrants; (iv) 537,337 shares of Common Stock underlying two convertible promissory notes which will be automatically converted into shares on the effective date of this offering; and (v) 957,600 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the Bridge Warrants. (3) Represents the balance due to the Company for subscriptions in connection with the Company's June 1997 private placement, pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 259,802 shares of Common Stock to nine persons for aggregate consideration of $970,762. Subsequent to June 30, 1997, the full amount of such subscription receivable was received by the Company.
13 DIVIDEND POLICY Holders of the Common Stock are entitled to cash dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds that are legally available for such dividends. The Company does not anticipate the declaration or payment of any dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company intends to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of its business. Future dividend policy will be subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be contingent upon future earnings, if any, the Company's financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. Future dividends may also be subject to covenants contained in loan agreements, other financing documents or the terms of any preferred stock. Therefore, there can be no assurance that cash dividends of any kind will ever be paid. DILUTION Dilution is the difference between the price paid for the Units and the "net tangible book value" per share of the Company's Common Stock before this offering. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of the Company's tangible assets less the amount of its liabilities, divided by the number of the Company's outstanding securities. At June 30, 1997, the Company had a negative net tangible book value of ($1,470,330), or ($.39) per share. On a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the Bridge Financing, the Company would have had a negative net tangible book value of ($1,204,913), or approximately ($0.32) per share. See "Recent Financings." After giving effect to the sale of ___________ Units offered hereby at an assumed price of $ _____ per share and the Company's receipt of the net proceeds from this offering less underwriting discounts, the non-accountable expense allowance and other estimated offering expenses, and without giving effect to the Underwriter's over-allotment option, the Representative Unit Purchase Option or the exercise of the Warrants or any other outstanding options or warrants, the pro forma net tangible book value of the Company as adjusted at June 30, 1997 would be approximately $ _________ , or $ _____ per share. Accordingly, the cash investment by investors in this offering of $ _____ per share will be diluted immediately by approximately $ _____ per share or ______ %. The aggregate increase in the net tangible book value to the present shareholders, at no additional cost to them, will be approximately $ _____ per share. The following table illustrates the per share dilution effect: Public offering price per share........................ $ Pro Forma Net tangible book value per share before offering ............................... $(.32) Increase per share attributable to payments by public investors......................... ----- Adjusted pro forma net tangible book value per share after offering............................. ----- Dilution of net tangible book value per share to public investors ....................... $ ===== The foregoing assumes no exercise of the Underwriter's over-allotment option. If the Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full, the net tangible book value per share at June 30, 1997, as adjusted for this offering, would be $ , and dilution of net consolidated tangible book value per share to public investors would be $ ____ or _____ %. The following table summarizes the difference between public investors and current shareholders of the Company with respect to the number of shares purchased from the Company, the total consideration paid to the Company (based upon an assumed exercise price of $ _____ per Unit and before deduction of underwriting discounts, the non-accountable expense allowance and other estimated offering expenses) and the applicable average purchase price per share:

14 The foregoing table gives effect to the automatic conversion of two promissory notes into 537,337 shares of Common Stock on the effective date of this Prospectus, but assumes no exercise of: (i) 164,337 shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon the exercise of outstanding options under the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan; (ii) 363,143 shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon the exercise of options granted outside the 1997 Stock Option Plan; (iii) 173,482 shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon exercise of two warrants; (iv) 957,600 shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon the exercise of the Bridge Warrants; (v) _________ shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the over-allotment option and the Warrants included as part of the over-allotment option; (vi) __________ shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants included as part of the Units offered hereby; and (vii) __________ shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the Representative Unit Purchase Option ("UPO") and the Warrants included as part of the UPO. See "Management--Stock Option Plan," "Management--Employment Agreements," "Certain Transactions" and "Recent Financings." To the extent that the foregoing options and warrants are exercised, there will be further dilution to new investors. RECENT FINANCINGS In October 1997, the Company issued and sold 42 bridge units ("Bridge Units"), each Bridge Unit consisting of an unsecured non-negotiable promissory note in the principal amount of $50,000 ("Bridge Note") and a warrant ("Bridge Warrant") to purchase 19,000 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the "Bridge Financing"). The Bridge Notes, which bear interest at a rate of 10% per year, are due and will be paid at the closing of this offering from the proceeds of this offering. See "Use of Proceeds." The Bridge Warrants entitle the holders thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $3.75 per share until October 27, 2000. The holders of the Bridge Warrants have agreed not to transfer the Bridge Warrants or the shares of Common Stock underlying such warrants for a period of 180 days following this offering. An aggregate of 957,600 shares of Common Stock underlying the Bridge Warrants (including the 159,600 shares underlying the Warrants issued to the Representative, as noted below) have been included in the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. See "Description of Securities--Registration Rights and Sales by Selling Shareholders." In exchange for serving as the placement agent for the Bridge Financing, the Company paid the Representative: (i) cash compensation equal to 10 percent of the principal amount of the Bridge Notes; (ii) a non-accountable expense allowance equal to three percent of the principal amount of the Bridge Notes and certain accountable expenses totaling $10,000; and (iii) warrants to purchase 159,600 shares on terms substantially the same as the Bridge Warrants. After deducting these and other expenses of the Bridge Financing, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $1,692,000 from the Bridge Financing. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation--Liquidity and Capital Resources." In June 1997, the Company completed a private placement (the "Private Placement") of an aggregate of 259,802 shares of Common Stock to nine persons for an aggregate consideration of $970,762 or $3.74 per share. 15 SELECTED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA Set forth below is selected historical financial data of: (i) the Company for the year ended December 31, 1996 and for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996; and (ii) Galacticomm, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the ten month period ended October 31, 1996.

17 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INTRODUCTION The Company was incorporated in December 1995 under the name i-View Software, Inc. and acquired its primary operating subsidiary, Galacticomm, Inc., on November 21, 1996. In April 1997, the Company changed its name to Galacticomm Technologies, Inc. Galacticomm, Inc. was formed in 1985 as an online service offering multiplayer games. In 1986, Galacticomm, Inc. developed Major BBS, a character-based computer bulletin board software product which allowed users in different locations access to a common operating environment. In 1995, Galacticomm, Inc. shifted its primary focus from the BBS market to the significantly larger Internet and intranet market through the development and release of Worldgroup 1.0, a client/server software program with an easy to use, Windows-based graphic user interface. See "Business--Worldgroup." The Company acquired Galacticomm, Inc. through the issuance of an aggregate of 271,291 shares of Common Stock and $755,915 in cash. The acquisition was financed through the sale of Common Stock and the issuance of convertible notes to Union Atlantic Partners I Limited ("UA Partners") and Hemingfold Investments Limited ("Hemingfold"), which has transferred its interest in such notes to the Peder Sager Wallenberg Charitable Trust (the "Wallenberg Trust"), an affiliate of Hemingfold. See "Certain Transactions--Wallenberg Trust and UA Partners Investment." Immediately prior to the Company's acquisition of Galacticomm, Inc., the Company acquired Tessier Technologies, Inc. ("TTI") by merger. Prior to such merger, TTI was a leading value added reseller of Major BBS and Worldgroup that had developed over 20 add-on products for these platforms. Prior to the acquisition of Galacticomm, Inc., the Company designed, developed and licensed i-View, a turnkey software package developed on the Worldgroup platform that enables the creation, operation and administration of an online subscription service with real time audio and video to subscribers through several connectivity methods. Using the i-View software, the Company, prior to the acquisition of Galacticomm, Inc., offered adult entertainment subscription services to third parties, although, as a condition to the investment by the Wallenberg Trust and UA Partners in the Company in November 1996, the Company divested itself of all adult-entertainment business. The Company's revenues and operating results have varied substantially from period to period, are likely to continue to vary in the future and should not be relied upon as an indication of future results. See "Risk Factors--Fluctuations in Quarterly Results." The Company has historically operated with no significant backlog. The Company's quarterly results may be affected by the Company's focus on customized software for use by specific customers or specific industries. See "Business--Worldgroup Customized Applications." At December 31, 1996, the Company had a net goodwill balance of $2,079,334 as a result of the merger with TTI and the acquisition of Galacticomm, Inc. The goodwill associated with the TTI merger (approximately $190,000 at December 31, 1996) is being amortized over a three year period. The goodwill balance associated with the Galacticomm, Inc. acquisition is being amortized over a five year period. Consequently, annual earnings of the Company will be negatively effected by approximately $425,000 per year until 2001. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The results of operations set forth below for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 reflect the operations of the Company combined with the operations of Galacticomm, Inc. and TTI as if the Company had acquired such companies on January 1, 1995 or 1996. The Company has not provided a comparative discussion with respect to the historic results of the Company, since it does not believe that such comparisons are meaningful. The pro forma financial information included herein is unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have actually occurred had the Company acquired Galacticomm, Inc. and TTI at January 1, 1995 or 1996, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results of operations. Among other things, prospective investors should be aware that the cost structure of the pro forma combined companies for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 was significantly different than the cost structure of the Company on a historical basis for the six month period ended June 30, 1997, including significant differences between such periods in the number of persons employed, occupancy costs and sales and marketing strategies. Consequently, reductions in the Company's expenses between such periods are not necessarily indicative of efficiencies achieved by the Company in the 1997 period. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AS COMPARED WITH PRO FORMA SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 (ASSUMES THE ACQUISITION OF GALACTICOMM, INC. AND TTI HAD OCCURRED ON JANUARY 1, 1996) Net revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 decreased 48% from $3,447,553 for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 to $1,787,879 for the comparable period in 1997. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to reduced software 18 product revenues as a result of: (i) increased competition from other software companies in connection with the emergence of Internet-based standards and technologies in the market for the Company's products; and (ii) to a lesser extent, the Company's decision to de-emphasize the sale of modems and certain other hardware products in late 1996. In response to the competitive pressure and rapid technological change in the market for the Company's products, the Company has recently redesigned Worldgroup to be compatible with the evolving standards of the Internet. In December 1996, the Company introduced Worldgroup v3.0 for Windows NT with Active HTML interface for several Worldgroup applications. The Company expects to release Worldgroup v3.1 in December 1997, offering all applications in Active HTML interface. See "Business--Worldgroup." The Company has additionally recently released or has under development for release several additional Internet-based products, including WebCast, Actibase and netDisc. See "Business--Worldgroup." For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, the consolidated revenues of the Company were derived 79% from software related products, royalties and licensing fees, 11% from hardware product sales, and 8% from billing and collection services provided to Worldgroup communities for collecting fees charged to customers for membership and Internet access. See "Business--Services." The Company anticipates that, as a percentage of net revenues, software revenues will increase as the Company implements its business strategy, and that, as a percentage of net revenues, revenues from the sale of hardware will decrease in the future. Revenues from billing and collection services, as a percentage of net revenues, are expected to remain constant in the near term. Cost of revenues consists primarily of direct hardware and software product costs. For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, cost of revenues decreased 64% from $1,396,703 in the 1996 period to $502,310 in the 1997 period. This decrease was primarily attributed to lower hardware related product costs and lower costs for billing and collection services as a result of lower component revenues for the period. Gross profit for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 decreased 37% from $2,050,850 in the 1996 period to $1,285,569 in the 1997 period. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit increased by 22% from 59% for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 to 72% for the comparable period in 1997. The Company expects gross profits from period to period to fluctuate based on the mix of distribution channels used by the Company, the mix of products sold during that period, and the mix of product revenues versus service revenues. Generally, the Company realizes higher gross profits on direct product sales than on product sales through distributors, resellers and other indirect channels and higher gross profits on product revenues than on service revenues. The increase in gross profits for the six months ended June 30, 1997 resulted from the Company's decision to focus on software sales and other higher margin products and on selling products through direct versus indirect channels of distribution. The Company expects to continue to realize higher gross profits as a percentage of revenue by increasing the mix of software products, royalty and licensing revenues, although this increase may be offset by the distribution of the Company's products through indirect channels. Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 decreased 40% from $2,211,777 in 1996 to $1,318,222 in 1997. SG&A expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, trade show expenses, professional services and office expenses. Depreciation and amortization for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 decreased 33% from $596,440 in 1996 to $400,070 in 1997. Depreciation expense decreased $221,907 due to the change in the depreciable life of computer equipment from 5 years to 3 years and the resultant full depreciation of certain assets during 1996. Amortization of intangibles, which represent the amortization of goodwill resulting from the Company's acquisitions, have been amortized over periods of three to five years. Stock-related compensation expense for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 amounted to $113,760 as a result of the issuance of warrants by two of the Company's officers, directors and stockholders to another stockholder of the Company. See "Certain Transactions," and Note 12(c) to the consolidated financial statements of the Company included elsewhere in this Prospectus. Stock-related compensation expenses related to such warrants is not expected to recur in future periods. There were no stock-related compensation expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 1996. Customer support expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 decreased 9% from $226,902 in 1996 period to $205,934 in 1997 period. This decrease was primarily caused by lower telecommunications costs in the 1997 period. Research and development expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 decreased 20% from $377,256 to $302,518 in 1997. The Company expects that research and development expenses will increase in the future as the Company expands its product development activities. See "Business--Research and Development." Other expenses, net of other income, for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 decreased 69% from $79,466 in 1996 to $24,922 in 1997. Proceeds received from a business interruption insurance claim (approximately $39,000) plus interest income on working capital funds during the 1997 period resulted in this decrease. 19 As a result of the foregoing factors, net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 decreased $361,134 from $1,440,991 in 1996 to $1,079,857 in 1997. PRO FORMA YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AS COMPARED WITH PRO FORMA YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 (ASSUMES IN BOTH CASES THAT THE ACQUISITION OF GALACTICOMM, INC. AND TTI HAD OCCURRED ON JANUARY 1, 1995 OR 1996, RESPECTIVELY) Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 1996 decreased 33% from $9,211,139 in 1995 to $6,189,505 in 1996. The release of Worldgroup 1.0 in the second quarter of 1995 generated revenues in 1995 which were not matched in 1996, during which year revenues from software sales suffered as a result of the Company's delay in upgrading Worldgroup to be fully compatible with the evolving standards of the Internet. In addition, Galacticomm, Inc. curtailed its Network Integration Service division ("NIS") and discontinued the development of software products based on the UNIX operating system in 1996 and instead focused its efforts on the development of a Worldgroup version operating on the Windows NT platform. The discontinuation of the NIS and UNIX operating divisions in 1996 reduced revenues by approximately $794,000 in 1996. During the year ended December 31, 1996 consolidated revenues of the Company were derived 68% from software related products, royalties and licensing fees, 14% from hardware sales, and 17% from billing and collection services. Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 1996 decreased 13% from $2,897,036 in 1995 to $2,515,462 in 1996. The decrease in cost of revenues for 1996 was due to lower 1996 software product revenues. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 1996 decreased 42% from $6,314,103 in 1995 to $3,674,043 in 1996. The 1996 gross profit decrease of $2,640,060 is primarily the result of lower software sales in 1996. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit decreased 14% from 69% in 1995 to 59% in 1996. Selling general, and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996 decreased 3% from $4,514,023 in 1995 to $4,381,252 in 1996. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A increased 47% from 49% in 1995 to 72% in 1996. In November 1996, the new management of the Company adopted new business strategies which modified systems and procedures to better monitor and budget SG&A expenses for the future. Depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased 77% from $569,015 in 1995 to $1,005,963 in 1996. Such increase resulted from the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the Company's acquisitions in 1996, and the change in depreciation from five years to three years of the depreciable useful life of the Company's technology and equipment. Stock related compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased 16% from $443,242 in 1995 to $529,139 in 1996. The 1995 expense related to premature exercises of certain stock options by a former employee of Galacticomm, Inc. and the 1996 expense related to the conversion by former employees of Galacticomm, Inc. of phantom stock units into shares of common stock. Customer support expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased 8% from $425,924 in 1995 to $460,569 in 1996. The increase during 1996 resulted from the introduction of Worldgroup 1.0 in the second quarter of 1995. Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996 decreased 16% from $1,034,174 in 1995 to $863,749 in 1996. The discontinuance of the NIS and UNIX divisions in 1996 was, in part, responsible for this decrease. Other expense, net of other income, for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased $300,992 from $354,329 in 1995 to $655,321 in 1996. The Company's decision in November 1996 to terminate its lease obligation for the rental of a new operating facility was the primary cause for this increase. The cost of lease termination ($380,040) is non recurring, and is shown as part of other expenses for 1996. As a result of the foregoing, net loss for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased $3,195,344 from $1,026,604 in 1995 to $4,221,948 in 1996. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company financed the acquisition of Galacticomm, Inc. in November 1996 and has financed its operations since such time primarily through the sale of debt and equity securities in private transactions as described below. The Company acquired 99.9 percent of the outstanding common stock of Galacticomm, Inc. in November 1996 and February 1997 through the issuance of an aggregate of 271,291 shares of Common Stock and $755,915 in cash consideration. The acquisition of Galacticomm, Inc. was financed through investments in the Company by the Wallenberg Trust and UA Partners, pursuant to which 20 the Company received net proceeds of $2,610,641 from the sale of 537,337 shares of Common Stock and the issuance of secured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,375,000, which will be automatically converted on the effective date of this offering into 537,337 shares of Common Stock. See "Certain Transactions." In June 1997, the Company received net proceeds of $844,553 from the sale of 259,802 shares of Common Stock to nine persons in a private transaction. The Company used $100,000 of the proceeds to pay down its existing credit facility with a financial institution and allocated the balance of such funds for working capital and general corporate purposes. In October 1997, the Company completed the Bridge Financing, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold $2,100,000 principal amount of Bridge Notes and Bridge Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 957,600 shares of Common Stock. The Company will pay all principal and interest (at a rate of 10 percent per year) outstanding on the Bridge Notes from the proceeds of this offering. See "Use of Proceeds." The Company used approximately $272,500 from the proceeds of the Bridge Financing to repay certain indebtedness, including approximately $200,000 of outstanding amounts under the Company's line of credit with a financial institution. Approximately $107,000 of the proceeds from the Bridge Financing were allocated to build out and make improvements to the Company's office space, and the balance was allocated for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company has been approved for the continuation of its $200,000 line of credit with a financial institution which line of credit will be guaranteed by Galacticomm, Inc. and Messrs. Berg and Tessier. Such line of credit will bear interest at an annual rate of 1.5% above the applicable prime rate. Giving pro forma effect to the Bridge Financing and the application of the proceeds therefrom, the Company had, as of June 30, 1997, cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,866,676 and a working capital surplus of $1,016,424. The Company anticipates, based on its currently proposed plans and assumptions relating to operations, that the net proceeds from the sale of the Units offered hereby, together with projected cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to satisfy its contemplated cash requirements for at least 18 months from the date hereof. The Company has no material commitments other than the lease of a T-3 fiberoptic digital circuit for $17,500 per month until April 15, 2000 and the lease of its office space. See "Business--Facilities." The Company intends to use approximately $425,000 of the proceeds from this offering to build out and make improvements to its office space and for office furniture and modules and computer equipment. 21 BUSINESS INTRODUCTION The Company develops, markets, licenses and supports software that enables users to communicate and conduct business over the Internet, intranets, or other online systems. The majority of the Company's software products are derived from the Company's flagship product, Worldgroup v3.0 for Windows NT and Windows 95, which is an integrated suite of five communications programs (E-mail, Polls and Questionnaires, Newsgroups, Shared File Libraries and Chat) that enables an individual or enterprise to establish an online system, an intranet or website. Scheduled for release in December 1997, Worldgroup v3.1 will offer complete access to a Worldgroup server using only a standard browser, such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Netscape's Navigator, through the World Wide Web. The Company estimates that Worldgroup and its predecessor product, Major BBS, have been installed on more than 10,000 online systems worldwide, including systems currently operated by Symantec Corporation, General Electric, U.S. Robotics, Citibank, the U.S. Air Force and the National Weather service. Worldgroup features an open (non-proprietary) set of interfaces, a scalable infrastructure that can grow with a company's needs, and multiple means of connectivity, including the Internet. Such features allow Worldgroup to serve as the software platform for specific communication solutions for a variety of businesses and industries. In conjunction with third party developers, the Company has designed intranets and other online systems for specific projects relating to education, trading, online gaming, virtual office and home television. Worldgroup's open set of interfaces has allowed third party developers to design and sell add-ons that supplement Worldgroup's standard features. As a result, over 200 independent software developers have designed more than 500 available products that enhance online systems which utilize the Worldgroup software. Worldgroup software is currently available in 10 languages. The Company has recently released or has under development for release during 1997 several products, including: WEBCAST. Released in March 1997, WebCast allows users to make live audio and visual broadcasts, and broadcast pre-recorded videos on demand, over the Internet to viewers who need only use a standard web browser to receive the broadcast. The Company markets WebCast directly to individual consumers and to businesses through computer catalogs, retail outlets and bundling agreements with camera manufacturers. The Company has recently entered into strategic alliances to bundle WebCast with cameras and other hardware recently introduced by Eastman Kodak, Boca Research, Specom Technologies, Best Data Products and Aztech New Media Corp. WORLDLINK. Scheduled for release by December 1997, Worldlink allows a Worldgroup community to link with other Worldgroup systems. The Company believes that the future development and organization of online communities will result in additional Worldgroup systems and present opportunities to introduce new products for Worldgroup system users. Worldlink with an Active HTML interface is currently being beta-tested. ACTIBASE. Scheduled for release in December 1997, Actibase is an Internet database connectivity program that is fully integrated with the Worldgroup server database. Actibase enables a company to publish any of its databases directly onto the Worldwide Web, with only limited knowledge of computer database programming. Actibase will be offered as a stand-alone product as well as an add-on product to Worldgroup and WebCast. Actibase is currently being beta-tested. NETDISC. NetDisc is an advertising vehicle that uses the Internet and a CD Rom disc to promote products to a specifically targeted market of consumers. The Company's netDisc technology incorporates advertising video clips and website links to advertisers' web pages. NetDisc's game format allows users to win promotional prizes. In conjunction with advertising agencies and magazine publishers, the Company intends to insert the netDisc in magazines, the first installment of which is anticipated to be the April 1998 issue of MOTOR TREND magazine. The Company's objective is to become a leading developer of communications software for the Internet, intranet and other online communications systems. The Company intends to achieve its objective by: (i) developing customized intranets and other applications using Worldgroup as the software foundation; (ii) continually upgrading Worldgroup and other programs and offering new programs that deliver customers high levels of performance, ease of use and security; and (iii) establishing strategic alliances to increase sales and facilitate market acceptance of the Company's products. The Company's executive offices are located at 4101 S.W. 47th Avenue, Suite 101, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33314. The Company can be reached by telephone at (954) 583-5990 or through its website at http:/www.gcomm.com. 22 INDUSTRY BACKGROUND THE INTERNET AND THE WORLDWIDE WEB Online communication has grown dramatically since 1987, when the Company first began offering communications software. It is currently estimated that over 40 million people exchange information and communicate electronically using personal computers. By the year 2000, this number is expected to increase to over 200 million. The convergence of communications and computers was greatly accelerated in the 1990s by the market acceptance and commercialization of the Internet, a global web of computer networks. Developed in 1969, this "network of networks" allows any computer connected to the Internet to communicate with any other computer using a common telecommunication protocol. Originally subsidized by the United States government, funding for the Internet infrastructure and backbone operations shifted to the private sector in the 1990s as the number of commercial entities relying on the Internet for business communications and commerce increased. The rapid growth of the Internet has been caused by the emergence of a network of servers and information available on the Internet called the World Wide Web (the "Web"). The Web, which is based on a client-server model and a set of standards for information access and navigation, can be accessed using software that allows non-technical users to exploit the capabilities of the Internet. Electronic documents are published on Web servers in a common format called the Hypertext Markup Language ("HTML"). Web client software (known as browsers) can retrieve these documents across the Internet by making requests using a standard protocol called Hypertext Transfer Protocol ("HTTP"). The most common commercial browsers currently in use are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. The explosive growth of online communications has created increasing demand for software solutions that enable users to interact and communicate more efficiently and effectively. Forrester Research, Inc. estimates that the combined Internet and intranet worldwide software market will increase from $382 million in 1996 to $8.5 billion in 1999. Uses for such software include the following: INTRANETS AND OTHER ONLINE SYSTEMS Businesses and other enterprises use personal computers to help their employees communicate and collaborate with each other. Organizations have developed Bulletin Board Systems ("BBSs"), local area networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs) and other closed systems (collectively, "Online Systems") to electronically connect their employees as well as their customers. In addition, the technology and protocols of the Internet have been applied to expand the use of private data networks through the development of intranets. An intranet is a network using the TCP/IP protocol of the Internet that connects an organization's computers in a way that makes information more accessible and facilitates navigation through all the resources and applications of the organization's computing environment. In many instances, the same software applications in use on the Internet and Online Systems can be applied to intranets, thereby broadening the market for such software applications. See "Business--Worldgroup Customized Applications." ONLINE COMMERCE Commercial uses of the Internet and Online Systems include business-to-business and business-to-consumer transactions, product marketing, advertising, entertainment, electronic publishing, electronic services and customer support. This new medium offers innovative opportunities for retail and mail order businesses to target and manage a wider customer base. Companies from many industries are using the Web to publish product and company information, provide customer support, allow customers to buy products online, and to collect customer feedback and demographic information interactively. The Company, as well as other software companies make use of the Internet and Online Systems to offer technical support for products and save shipping costs by making software updates available electronically through copying or "downloading" procedures. Other businesses, such as financial institutions and brokerage firms, are also appearing online as the Internet provides access to a growing base of home, business and education customers. International Data Corporation has predicted that the amount of commerce conducted over the Web will increase from $2.6 billion in 1996 to more than $220 billion during 2001. ONLINE COMMUNITIES Online "communities" are one of the fastest growing areas of the Internet, according to a recent report by BUSINESS WEEK. An online community is a network of users that communicate with one another via computer. Online communities may be commercial or private, small or large. Prior to the advent of the Internet, online communities existed through Bulletin Board Systems, which consist of a personal computer running a software program onto which users would typically connect through a standard telephone line. Many applications that are now standard on the Internet such as newsgroups, file transfers and E-mail were initially introduced on BBSs. Pioneering software that enabled the creation of online communities included the Company's Major BBS software, which the Company offered from 1987 until 1995, when the Company introduced Worldgroup. The Company believes that Major BBS, the predecessor to Worldgroup, was, by 1994, the industry leader in the corporate market segment for BBS software. 23 Until recently, online communities were primarily organized for non-commercial purposes. The attraction to members of these communities is the ability to interact with users with similar interests locally or worldwide. Members engage in real-time conversation in chat rooms, post messages on a variety of topics in newsgroups or on bulletin boards or play interactive games, known as MUDs. Increasingly, businesses are creating online communities to attract and make sales to consumers. The premise behind these commercial online communities is that consumers will visit and stay longer at a website or Online System where they can interact with others who share a common interest. To encourage interaction between consumers and to retain users at their site, businesses have added online chat rooms, bulletin boards, e-mail and other software applications to their commercial website or Online System. WORLDGROUP The Company's communication software products are designed to connect people and information over the Internet, Intranets and Online Systems. The majority of the Company's software products are based on the Company's flagship product, Worldgroup, a comprehensive client/server software and development tool that allows users in different locations to exchange ideas and information using a variety of connection methods, including the Internet, dial up modem, LANs, WANs, integrated services digital network (ISDN) and serial connection. Using Worldgroup, businesses can establish an interactive web site (or improve an existing website), organizations can establish intranets and exchange data with remote employees, suppliers and customers, and entrepreneurs can create their own online community similar to services such as America Online as well as offer their customers access to the Internet. The Company estimates that the Worldgroup software and its predecessor, Major BBS, have been installed on over 10,000 online servers worldwide, including systems currently operated by Symantec Corporation, General Electric, U.S. Robotics, Citibank, the United States Air Force and the National Weather Service. These servers reach an estimated 1.1 million end-users who use and interact with the Company's software. Worldgroup software is currently available in 10 languages. Worldgroup is both an out-of-the-box product and a software platform that can be configured to provide communications solutions for different businesses and industries. Out of the box, Worldgroup is a suite of popular client/server applications, including: ELECTRONIC MAIL. Electronic mail or E-mail allows users to deliver a private message to others who need not be there when the message arrives. Worldgroup's E-mail has the following features: file attachments, carbon copies, mail forwarding, distribution lists, offline filing cabinets, "new mail" notification, and return receipt. POLLS AND QUESTIONNAIRES. This feature allows the Worldgroup system operator or administrator ("Worldgroup Administrator") to create questionnaires, application forms or opinion polls to ascertain market research and other information about customers and other users. FORUMS. Popularly known as newsgroups, forums allow users to post messages and respond to messages posted by others. A Worldgroup Administrator can configure up to 10,000 separate forums for online discussions. TELECONFERENCING. Popularly known as chat, the teleconference application allows users to establish real-time conversations. Teleconferencing enables group meetings where participants can exchange files in real time with other users while continuing the conversation. The Worldgroup Administrator can create up to 65,535 different channels, each with its own moderator and topic. FILE LIBRARIES. File Libraries allow users to share program and document files. Users can search files by library, category, file names, file date, descriptive words, and popularity. A Worldgroup Administrator can limit user access to particular files or programs. With the release of Worldgroup v3.0 for Windows NT/95 in December 1996, the Company introduced Active HTML interfaces which permit access to a Worldgroup server using only a standard Web browser. This "thin client" access, where there is no need to download client software or employ other controls, makes access to a Worldgroup system as convenient as accessing any website. Currently, both the Sign-Up and File Libraries applications of Worldgroup have been converted to Active HTML. The Company is in the process of converting other applications (including Registry, Polls & Questionnaires, Account Display/Edit, Teleconference and forums) to Active HTML for inclusion in Worldgroup v3.1, which is scheduled for release in December 1997. In addition to its thin client capabilities, all Worldgroup applications continue to be available using the Company's proprietary client software, Worldgroup Manager. The use of Worldgroup Manager has many practical advantages over current thin client technology, including reduced bandwidth needs, greater real time interactivity between users, and the ability to compute "offline". The Company's client software is offered at no cost and can be launched from the Web directly through the Worldgroup plug-in for Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Oracle Power Browser. 24 Worldgroup has been designed for multiple connectivity. Users can access a Worldgroup system through dial-up modems, ISDN, Novell-based networks (SPX), and packet-switched X.25 networks as well as the Internet and TCP/IP based networks. Multiple connectivity has several advantages over Internet-only connectivity, including enabling fixed bandwidth connections, alternative access routes if the primary route is "down" or otherwise not available, and better security for private transactions. Worldgroup v3.0 is designed to run on DOS, as well as the Windows NT and Windows 95 operating systems. In addition to being an out-of-the-box product, Worldgroup is a development platform. The Company believes that one of Worldgroup's key strengths is its standard set of interfaces or open architecture. Through Worldgroup's application programming interfaces (APIs) and development kits, over 200 independent software vendors have developed and market applications that can be easily added on to an Internet or Online System using Worldgroup's software. This allows Worldgroup users to pick and choose additional applications for a Worldgroup system depending on their needs. For example, if a group calendar/scheduling program is desired, an add-on application entitled Community Calendar can be seamlessly integrated into the Worldgroup system. The Company and independent software vendors currently offer over 500 add-on applications for Worldgroup, including add-ons that allow a Worldgroup system to offer: (i) outgoing online fax service; (ii) an online shopping mall; (iii) form templates for workflow environments; (iv) video conferencing with point-to-point, broadcast, and theater-replay video; (v) group scheduling; (vi) online publishing; and (vii) SLIP/PPP Internet access to users and optional support for Radius security and accounting protocol for terminal server equipment. Several of these add-on applications are embedded in the Worldgroup software and therefore can be electronically distributed to and immediately launched by the users upon payment. To allow independent software vendors, system operators and system integrators to create such add-ons as well as other customize client-side applications, the Company offers a Worldgroup developer kit for $699, which contains the source code for the five core Worldgroup applications and in-depth developer information. Additional "extended" source suites and application option source packages are available with a wide range of prices. The Company believes that significant opportunities exist for the sale of Worldgroup into emerging markets. It is estimated that 80% of the total demand for Internet access originates in the United States. One of the primary reasons for the lack of Internet access in other countries is cost. In certain Eastern European, Asian and Latin American countries which do not have an established telecommunications infrastructure, the cost of access to high speed Internet networks can be as much as 10 times the cost in the United States. Consequently, the Company believes that the Worldgroup product operating as a bulletin board using existing telephone systems (as opposed to high speed Internet networks) offers an attractive and economically feasible solution in emerging markets. The Company's strategy is to develop a loyal customer base in such markets. The Company currently sells its products in 29 countries. Worldgroup's ability to offer advanced communications technology to third world countries has been recognized by the United Nations Development Programme Global Technology Group, which, in January 1997, selected Worldgroup to the United Nations Flag Technology Program. The suggested retail price for Worldgroup v3.0 for access by eight simultaneous users is $699. The number of simultaneous users can be increased to up to 256 simultaneous users through the purchase of additional user packs, at prices ranging from $55 to $65 per additional user connection. WORLDGROUP CUSTOMIZED APPLICATIONS Using Worldgroup as the foundation, the Company, working in conjunction with third party developers, has designed intranets and other communications systems for a number of industries and customers, including the following: REAL-TIME GLOBAL TRADING SOLUTIONS The Company is targeting manufacturers and distributors of commodities worldwide to utilize its software for real-time trading and consolidating of commodities. The Company has entered into a venture with World Commerce Online ("World Commerce") which has launched Floraplex, a private extranet for the floral industry that allows growers, importers, exporters, wholesalers and mass merchandisers to execute purchases over the Internet from any place in the world. The system also provides for the payment of purchases and helps in the consolidation of freight and other shipping items. The Company receives a portion of the monthly service fee income generated by World Commerce, in addition to up front revenues for license of its Worldgroup server software. World Commerce is expected to attempt to offer this solution to a variety of other commodity-based organizations worldwide, although no assurances can be given that World Commerce will be successful in selling this software product to other industries. ONLINE GAMING Worldgroup is currently being utilized in the development of on-line casino games for both the entertainment and casino marketplace. The Company sells its software to Atlantic Entertainment which offers a program called I.C.E. (Internet Casino 25 Extension). I.C.E. is marketed to domestic and international casinos who want to provide a non-monetary form of casino gaming to their casino customers to encourage patronage. The Company itself has no intent to offer such gaming activities online. EDUCATION The Company has designed software which is a ready to use classroom intranet designed to connect teachers, student, parents and administrators online. This software offers "managed" Internet access to schools, enabling students to browse the Worldwide Web, but only to sites approved by teachers and school administrators. TELEVISION SET-TOP INTERNET CONNECTIVITY The Worldgroup client/server software has been configured to allow manufacturers of set-top terminals to provide Internet access to the home television set and to provide e-mail and other communications programs to the end consumer. The Company licenses its software to Intercon P/C, Inc. who is installing Worldgroup software as the foundation of its set-top box called "Spider." NEW PRODUCTS The Company has recently released or has under development for release during 1997 the following products: WEBCAST Introduced in March 1997, WebCast is an Internet multi-media software product which enables websites to broadcast live or prerecorded audio and video over the Internet to viewers who need only use a standard web browser to receive the broadcast. Business and other applications of WebCast include: (i) the ability to have customer service representatives or technicians talking live with customers, (ii) the ability to have staff meetings with remote offices, and (iii) parents away from home checking on their children or other family members. WebCast v2.0, offering video on demand and clientless audio capabilities, was released by the Company in October 1997. The Company currently offers three WebCast products--WebCast Personal, WebCast ProServer and WebCast Lite. WebCast Personal is designed for individual users and allows up to 4 simultaneous viewers. In addition to its audio and video capabilities, WebCast Personal provides teleconferencing, caller ID, call blocking, password authorization and an address book. The suggested retail price of WebCast Personal is $49.95. WebCast ProServer is designed for commercial applications and allows up to 255 simultaneous viewers. WebCast is built upon the Worldgroup v3.0 platform and therefore offers, in addition to audio and video, all of the standard and add-on features available for Worldgroup, such as E-mail, teleconference, file libraries and polling. The suggested retail price of WebCast ProServer is $995, with each additional video stream retailing for $100. The Company also offers at no cost WebCast Lite, a promotional version of WebCast that permits users the opportunity to try the WebCast product. The Company has entered into bundling agreements with a number of manufacturers of web cameras, pursuant to which WebCast Lite has been incorporated into their respective products. After demonstrating WebCast Lite, users may then purchase WebCast Personal or WebCast ProServer from the Company. See "Sales, Marketing and Distribution." In August 1997, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Boca Research, Inc., pursuant to which the Company has granted Boca Research a license to include WebCast Lite and related technology in their modems, video conferencing and other hardware products, in exchange for royalty payments that are determined based on the amount and type of product sold by Boca Research. If Boca Research fails to pay royalties of at least $100,000 in any quarter or at least $120,000 in two consecutive quarters, the Company has the right to renegotiate the terms of such license agreement. NETDISC NetDisc is a CD-ROM and Internet game developed by the Company that allows advertising agencies and others to simultaneously promote several products or companies to a targeted market of consumers. Each netDisc CD-Rom contains video clips from an advertiser and links to an advertiser's web page. The Company's netDisc CD-ROM will be distributed through direct marketing or in magazines aimed at a particular market segment. Buyers of such magazines are presented with the opportunity to win prizes in the netDisc game by viewing the various advertisers' videos on the CD-ROM and by visiting such advertisers web site. For each such visit, buyers earn Galact-a-Buck $ game scrip that can be redeemed for prizes. The Company is in discussions with Peterson Publishing, pursuant to which it is anticipated that the first installment of netDisc will be inserted in the April 1998 issue of MOTOR 26 TREND magazine. The Company has filed a patent application with respect to netDisc. See "--Proprietary Rights and Intellectual Property." ACTIBASE Actibase is an ODBC compliant database connectivity program which is fully integrated with the Worldgroup server database. Actibase enables a company to publish any of their databases directly onto the Worldwide Web, with only limited knowledge of computer programming or HTML. Actibase features include dynamically generated SQL and HTML Code, a drag and drop form editor and security options. Actibase, as a stand alone product, will include support for eight simultaneous users with user count upgrades available. Actibase will also be fully integrated into the Company's other product lines as an add-on to Worldgroup and WebCast. Actibase is currently being beta tested and is scheduled for release in December 1997. WORLDLINK There are approximately 500 Worldgroup communities operating with the Company's Worldgroup and/or Major BBS software. Unlike larger Online Systems, such as America Online and Microsoft Network, Worldgroup communities are typically formed by users and entrepreneurs with a common interest in a particular subject (e.g. horse racing) or by users who are located in the same geographic area. The Company believes that localized service is attractive to users in much the same way that a local newspaper appeals to many readers over a national one. One of the drawbacks to local Online Systems, however, is the need for users traveling outside their local area to make a long-distance telephone call to connect into their local system. To meet this need, the Company has created Worldlink, an add-on application to Worldgroup designed to connect Worldgroup systems to each other to create a global network of Worldgroup communities. Worldlink has been developed to act as a central hub that enables users of a Worldgroup system in one location to interact and communicate with users of a different Worldgroup system. Worldlink presently operates in terminal mode and is capable of connecting up to 250 systems operating on Worldgroup v.1 or v.2. The Company is in the process of upgrading Worldlink to: (i) operate in client/server mode as well as terminal mode; (ii) connect up to 60,000 Worldgroup systems and 16 million simultaneous users; and (iii) include Worldgroup v.3's thin client access via Active HTML. The Company's objective is to ultimately create a global network of Worldgroup communities. The ability of the Company to successfully launch a global network of Worldgroup communities is subject to a number of risks, many of which (such as the participation of individual Worldgroup communities) are beyond the control of the Company. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in developing a global community of Worldgroup systems. SALES, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION The Company markets and distributes its products through distributors and resellers, as well as directly to end-users. Historically, the Company has relied on its distribution network for a substantial portion of its sales. The Company's primary distributors in the United States are Ingram Micro Inc. and DistribuPro, Inc. Internationally, the Company distributes its products through Sisnet, S.A. and a network of 30 resellers located in 29 countries. In addition, the Company has established a network of preferred distributors, identified as Ambassador Dealers, many of whom also act as system integrators and value added resellers. The Company provides its Ambassador Dealers with special training programs, promotional incentives and marketing programs. Although the Company uses these and other means to encourage its distributors to focus primarily on the promotion and sale of the Company's products, the Company's distributors may also represent other lines of products that compete with the Company's products and no assurance can be given that these distributors will not give higher priority to the sale of competing products. The Company has recently increased its efforts to make direct sales to end-users in an effort to increase gross profits. Direct sales by the Company are made by mail order to end users who are solicited through catalogs such as CDW, PC Zone, Tiger Direct, MicroWarehouse and PC Connections. In addition, direct sales are made through the Company's direct mailing and telesales efforts aimed at Internet service providers and other end-users. The Company publishes a magazine, VISIONS, aimed at educating end-users about the capabilities of the Company's products. VISIONS, which includes articles about the Company, its recent product releases and development efforts, is distributed to the Company's installed customer base, as well as to the Company's Ambassador Dealers and other distributors of the Company's products. The Company also markets its products on its Web site, which contains demonstrations, free downloads of certain products and significant other information regarding the Company's products and services. The Company intends to increase the sales and distribution of WebCast and its other products by incorporating promotional versions of the Company's software into computer hardware, such as web cameras and modems, that are manufactured and marketed by other companies. Through these bundling arrangements, end purchasers of the computer hardware have an opportunity to try the Company's software and, if desired, to purchase a fully-functional version of the Company's software. These arrangements generally provide that the Company's software is, at no cost to the Company, advertised on the package for the hardware product and that the hardware manufacturer receives a percentage of the purchase price of any software purchased from the Company as a result of such 27 arrangement. To date, the Company has entered into agreements with Eastman Kodak, Boca Research, Aztech New Media Corp., Best Data and Specom to bundle WebCast Lite with computer hardware products offered by such companies. The Company's marketing and sales efforts are supported by a sales and marketing force of 10 people operating from the Company's headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Company intends to add five more employees in marketing and sales following the closing of this offering. There can be no assurance that such expansion will be successfully completed, or that the cost of such expansion will not exceed the revenues generated. RESEARCH AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The market for the Company's products is characterized by rapidly changing technology and frequent new product introductions. The Company's future success depends on its ability to enhance its existing products and to develop new products that: (i) incorporate new and evolving industry standards, (ii) respond to evolving customer requirements, and (iii) achieve market acceptance. The primary aim of the Company's research and development efforts is to identify emerging online communications technology and standards and develop products that address evolving market needs. Specifically, the Company intends to improve and upgrade its existing product, and to develop and introduce new products that deliver customers high levels of performance, ease of use and security. The Company has incurred significant research and development costs over the past two years to convert the Company's software to the Internet and intranet markets. Research and development costs, on a combined pro forma basis, were $863,749 and $1,034,174 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and $302,518 for the six month period ended June 30, 1997. The Company believes that significant research and development costs will continue to be incurred in the future to successfully implement the Company's business strategy. SERVICES SUPPORT PROGRAMS The Company has made a commitment to provide timely, high quality technical support to meet the diverse needs of its customers and partners and to facilitate the purchase and use of its products. Presently included at no additional charge with each purchase of Worldgroup v3.0 NT/95 is 120 minutes of technical support through the Company's toll-free telephone number. Additional support is available at the cost of $2.00 per minute, although the Company offers reduced rates through prepaid support plans. Customer support is also available at no cost to customers through a number of additional means, including E-mail and facsimile responses. The Company also publishes a list of answers to frequently asked questions and hosts a customer support forum on its website. Using the Company's own WebCast product, the Company recently began offering live video customer service through the Company's website at http://www.gcomm.com. This service allows the Company's customers to see a live image of and speak to the Company's customer support personnel. The Company believes it is one of only a very few companies in the world offering live video customer service. TRAINING The Company offers several different training courses to system operators, integrators and resellers. Topics covered in these courses include system installation, configuration, administration, security and troubleshooting. Prices for the two to three day courses range from $595 to $995 per person. WORLDGROUP BILLING SERVICES The Company offers Worldgroup communities a 900 telephone number collection service as an alternative means to credit cards and direct billing to collect the fees they charge customers for membership and Internet access. The 900 telephone number collection service allows an end user to obtain and pay for membership and internet access provided by a particular Worldgroup community by dialing a 900 number. Such fees are paid by the end user to the telephone company as part of monthly phone bills and remitted to the Company after deducting telephone company and service bureau collection fees. The Company in turn remits such membership and internet access fees to the Worldgroup community after deducting a service fee of approximately 10 percent. COMPETITION The communications software industry is intensely competitive. Many of the Company's competitors are substantially larger and have much greater financial resources and name recognition than the Company. They also have longer operating histories in the Internet and intranet markets and greater technical and marketing resources than the Company. To maintain or increase its position 28 in the industry, the Company will need to continually enhance its current product line, and introduce new products and services. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to compete successfully in the future, or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company's Worldgroup product faces competition from a number of products that permit information exchange in ways similar to Worldgroup, including: (i) Microsoft Back Office; (ii) Lotus Domino, (iii) Novell's Intranet Ware; and (iv) Netscape's SuiteSpot. While these and other competitive products offer features similar to Worldgroup, the Company believes that Worldgroup maintains a competitive advantage over these products in terms of price, availability of add-on applications, ease of use and administration. WebCast, the Company's software for Web cameras, competes with products offered by White Pine Software, Inc., Progressive Networks, Vxtreme, Inc., Xing Technology Corporation, NetSpeak, VocalTec, Vivo Software, Inc. and VDOnet Corporation. Actibase, the Company's Internet database connectivity program, competes with, among others, Claris' Filemaker Pro, Microsoft's InterDev and Topspeed's Clarion. The Company competes against these products in terms of price and the fact that no special client software, other than Netscape Navigator 2.0 or above or Microsoft's Internet Explorer 4.0 or above web browser, is required to view the WebCast video or audio stream. See "--Products-WebCast." Actibase, the Company's Internet database connectivity program, competes with, among others, Claris' Filemaker Pro, Microsoft's InterDev and Topspeed's Clarion. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY The Company regards its software as proprietary and attempts to protect it with copyrights, trademarks, restrictions on disclosure, copying and transferring title and enforcement of trade secret laws. Despite these precautions, it is possible for unauthorized third parties to copy the Company's products and it may be possible for them to obtain and use information that the Company regards as proprietary. Although the Company has filed a federal patent application with respect to netDisc, no assurance can be given as to the issuance of a patent or as to the breadth or degree of protection any issued patent may afford. In addition, existing copyright laws give only limited protection to its software and some foreign countries' laws do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as United States laws. Consistent with the general practice of software developed for retail sale, the Company licenses its products primarily under "shrink wrap" license agreements that are not signed by licensees and therefore may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions. Although the Company has several pending trademark applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the "PTO"), the Company has only one federal registration, for the trademark "Galacticomm." No assurance can be given that the PTO will grant registrations for the Company's pending trademark applications. Among other things, it is possible that the Company's trademarks, including "WebCast," could be deemed to be generic by the PTO, in which case neither the Company nor any third party could claim exclusive rights to such term. In such event, the Company intends to associate the generic term with registrable or registered trademarks or logos in order to gain trademark protection over the resulting composite mark. In July 1997, the Company became aware of the existence of a third party which may claim a prior right in the trademark "Worldgroup." The Company and the third party are presently discussing a co-existence arrangement whereby the Company would have the right, without the payment of a royalty, to continue to use the trademark "Worldgroup" on its present products and services. Although the third party does not presently distribute products that compete with the Company's products, the licensing arrangement presently under discussion would not preclude the third party from using the "Worldgroup" trademark in competition with the Company. Also in July 1997, the Company became aware that several other third parties filed applications for registration for the trademark "WebCast," before the Company filed its application. If "WebCast" is determined not to be generic and one of the third party applications matures into a registration, then such third party will have superior rights to the Company. If a third party has superior rights to any of the Company's trademarks, the Company believes that when the Company first commenced use of its trademarks, it acted innocently, unintentionally, and without knowledge of the existence of any third party's purported rights in such marks. Furthermore, if the third party user of "Worldgroup" decides to enforce its trademark rights through an infringement action, the Company believes that valid defenses exist with respect to any such action, including, without limitation, waiver, estoppel and laches and that as a result thereof, any liability of the Company should be limited to injunctive relief prohibiting the Company from future use of such mark. Trademark litigation is expensive and complex and the outcome of such litigation is difficult to predict. Generally, if a court were to find that the Company unintentionally infringed a third party's mark, the Company's liability would be limited to its actual net profit from the sale of infringing products, the third party's actual damages, and injunctive relief. On the other hand, if a court were to find that the Company has wilfully infringed a third party's trademark, the Company could be enjoined from further use of the trademark and could be liable, under the federal Lanham Act, for the lesser of: (i) the Company's net profit stemming from the sale of infringing products and (ii) the third party's actual damages, plus three times the greater of: (a) the Company's profit from the sale of the infringing product, and (b) the third party's actual damages, plus prejudgment interest, attorneys' fees, and the cost of litigation. 29 Except to the extent noted above with respect to certain trademarks, the Company does not believe that its products infringe on the rights of third parties. The computer software market is characterized by frequent and substantial intellectual property litigation and it is possible that third parties might assert infringement claims against the Company in the future. If this occurs, the Company might be forced into costly litigation or have to obtain a license to the intellectual property rights of others. It is possible that such licenses may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all. The Company currently licenses some of its technology from third parties. In the future, these third party technology licenses may not be available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If the Company cannot maintain any of these technology licenses, it is possible that product shipments could be delayed and the Company's financial condition could be harmed. GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS The Company does not believe that its business activities are currently subject to direct regulation by any government agency, other than regulations applicable to business generally, and there are currently few laws or regulations directly applicable to access to or commerce on the Internet. However, due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it is possible that laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet, covering issues such as user privacy, pricing and characteristics and quality of products and services. For example, Congress recently passed the Communications Decency Act of 1996 prohibiting the distribution of obscene or indecent material over the Internet, although this law was recently held unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. The adoption of any such laws or regulations may decrease the growth of the Internet, which could in turn decrease the demand for the Company's products and increase the Company's cost of doing business or otherwise have an adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results or financial condition. Furthermore, the application of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, libel and personal privacy on the Internet is uncertain. Because material may be downloaded by an online or Internet service facilitated by the Company, there is a potential risk that claims may be made against the Company for defamation, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement or other theories based on the nature and content of such materials. Although the Company carries general liability insurance, the Company's insurance may not cover potential claims of this type, or may not be adequate to indemnify the Company for all liability that may be imposed. Any imposition of liability that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. FACILITIES The Company leases 11,129 square feet of office space for its corporate headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, including approximately 2,000 of square feet that the Company commenced occupying in September 1997. The monthly rent under this lease is $9 per square foot (plus applicable taxes), which amount increases annually by four percent. The Company has options to extend the lease for up to an additional six years past its present expiration date in 2001. The Company also has an option to lease approximately 6,000 square feet of adjacent office space should the Company need additional space. The Company intends to use a portion of the proceeds from this offering to build out and improve its leasehold. See "Use of Proceeds." EMPLOYEES As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company employs 33 persons, including 15 in engineering and support, 10 in sales and marketing, 1 in production and 7 in administration and accounting. None of its employees are currently represented by a union or any other form of collective bargaining unit. The Company regards its relations with employees as good.

ANNUAL COMPENSATION NAME AND FISCAL LONG TERM ALL OTHER PRINCIPAL POSITION YEAR SALARY BONUS COMPENSATION COMPENSATION ------------------ ------ ------- ----- ------------ ------------ Peter Berg, 1996 $73,461 ---- ------- ------ Chief Executive Officer 1995 $0 ---- ------- ------
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS The Company has entered into an employment agreement with each of Peter Berg, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Yannick Tessier, the President of the Company. The employment agreements provide for an annual salary of $175,000 for each officer, which salary will increase each contract year by 10 percent of the prior year's salary. Messrs. Berg and Tessier are also eligible to receive an annual cash bonus at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to their respective employment agreements, Messrs. Berg and Tessier have each been granted options to purchase 177,263 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.74 per share. Such options vest one-third on November 21, 1997, one-third on November 21, 1998 and the final one-third on November 21, 1999. Pursuant to the terms of their respective employment agreements, the Company provides Messrs. Berg and Tessier with an automobile allowance of $600 per month and a term life insurance policy in the amount of $1,000,000. The employment agreements provide for a three-year term that expires November 20, 1999, which term may be terminated earlier by the Company with or without cause (as defined in the employment agreements). Such employment agreements may be terminated earlier by the employee with or without "good reason," which is defined to include: (i) a significant decrease in the employee's responsibilities; (ii) a material change in the employee's position; (iii) a reduction in the employee's salary; or (iv) a change in the location of the Company's executive offices outside of Broward, Palm Beach or Dade County, Florida or a requirement that employee change his permanent residence outside of Broward, Palm Beach or Dade County, Florida. If such employment agreement is terminated for any reason, other than by the Company for cause, death or disability or by the employee without good reason, then 32 the employee is entitled to receive his salary under the employment agreement for the greater of the remaining term of the agreement or 12 months from the date of termination. Such employment agreement also contains certain non-compete and non-disclosure provisions. Pursuant to the employment agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify each of Messrs. Berg and Tessier to the fullest extent permitted by law for any action related to his employment with the Company or for serving as a director of the Company. The Company has also entered into a two-year employment agreement, dated August 25, 1997, with T. Michael Love, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to which Mr. Love receives an annual salary of $120,000 and has been granted options under the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan to purchase 34,468 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.50 per share. See "--Stock Option Plan". The Company may terminate Mr. Love's employment with the Company with cause, as such term is defined in his employment agreement. If the Company terminates such employment without cause, Mr. Love will receive his salary for a six month period following the date of termination and stock options which would have vested at the end of the vesting period then in effect shall automatically vest. The employment agreement also contains certain non-compete and non-disclosure provisions. STOCK OPTION PLAN The Company has adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "1997 Plan"). Pursuant to the 1997 Plan, options to acquire a maximum of 370,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted to directors, executive officers, employees (including employees who are directors), independent contractors and consultants of the Company. Options to purchase 164,337 shares at an exercise price of $6.50 per share are presently outstanding under the 1997 Plan, none of which are currently exercisable. The 1997 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee determines which persons will receive options and the number of options to be granted to such persons. The Compensation Committee also interprets the provisions of the 1997 Plan and makes all other determinations that it may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the 1997 Plan. No more than 37,000 options may be granted to a single person in any fiscal year. Pursuant to the 1997 Plan, the Company may grant ISOs (Incentive Stock Options) and NQSOs (Non-Qualified Stock Options). The price at which the Common Stock may be purchased upon the exercise of ISOs granted under the 1997 Plan are required to be at least equal to the per share fair market value of the Common Stock on the date particular options are granted. Options granted under the 1997 Plan may have maximum terms of not more than 10 years and are not transferable, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. None of the ISOs under the 1997 Plan may be granted to an individual owning more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock issued by the Company unless the purchase price of the Common Stock under such option is at least 110 percent of the fair market value of the shares issuable on exercise of the option determined as of the date the option is granted, and such option is not exercisable more than five years after the grant date. ISOs granted under the 1997 Plan are subject to the restriction that the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date of grant) of options which first become exercisable in any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. Generally, options granted under the 1997 Plan may remain outstanding and may be exercised at any time up to six months after the person to whom such options were granted is no longer employed or retained by the Company or serving on the Company's Board of Directors. Pursuant to the 1997 Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, one-fourth of the options granted to an individual are exercisable 90 days after grant, one-fourth are exercisable on the first anniversary of such grant, one-fourth are exercisable on the second anniversary and the final one-fourth are exercisable on the third anniversary of such grant. However, one-half of all outstanding options under the 1997 Plan shall become immediately exercisable upon a "change in control" of the Company. The remaining one-half of the outstanding options shall become exercisable upon the first anniversary of a "change in control" of the Company. A "change in control" is generally deemed to occur when: (i) any person (other than Messrs. Berg or Tessier) becomes the beneficial owner of or acquires voting control with respect to more than 50 percent of the Common Stock, (ii) a change occurs in the composition of a majority of the Company's Board of Directors during a two-year period, provided that a change with respect to a member of the Company's Board of Directors shall be deemed not to have occurred if the appointment of a member of the Company's Board of Directors is approved by a vote of at least 75 percent of the individuals who constitute the then existing Board of Directors, or (iii) the approval by the shareholders of the Company of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. The 1997 Plan provides for appropriate adjustments in the number and type of shares covered by the 1997 Plan and options granted thereunder in the event of any reorganization, merger, recapitalization or certain other transactions involving the Company. 33 INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS Pursuant to the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, officers and directors of the Company are entitled to be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent allowed under Florida law for claims brought against them in their capacities as officers and directors. Indemnification is allowed if the officer or director acts in good faith and, in the case of conduct in his official capacity, in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, or in all other cases, with a reasonable belief that his conduct was at least not opposed to the Company's best interests. In the case of criminal proceedings, it is necessary that an officer or director have no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify Messrs. Berg and Tessier pursuant to their employment agreements with the Company. See "--Employment Agreements." Accordingly, it is possible that indemnification may occur for liabilities arising under the Securities Act. The Underwriting Agreement also contains provisions under which the Company and the Underwriters have agreed to indemnify each other (including officers and directors) against certain liabilities under the Securities Act. See "Underwriting." Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS TESSIER TRANSACTION Pursuant to a Stock Issuance Agreement, dated August 26, 1996, among the Company, Peter Berg and Yannick Tessier, the Company agreed to issue to Mr. Tessier shares of the Company's Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock held by Peter Berg. Such shares were thereafter issued to Mr. Tessier in connection with an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement"), dated November 20, 1996, pursuant to which the Company acquired Tessier Technologies, Inc. ("TTI"), a company controlled by Mr. Tessier. In connection with such transaction, Mr. Tessier received 1,215,749 shares of Common Stock and two former shareholders of TTI received an aggregate of 66,434 shares of Common Stock in exchange for their shares of TTI common stock. Mr. Tessier was elected to the Board of Directors of the Company and was appointed the President of the Company upon completion of such transaction. A Worldgroup online community operated by Tessier that was initially excluded from the assets acquired by the Company in the November 20, 1996 transaction was subsequently acquired by the Company in June 1997 for $30,000, payable in 12 equal monthly installments. Mr. Tessier advanced $50,000 to TTI in 1996 to fund operations and was issued a non-interest bearing note in the amount of $50,000, which is payable by the Company no later than December 31, 1997. WALLENBERG TRUST AND UA PARTNERS INVESTMENTS Effective November 21, 1996, the Company raised a total of $2,750,000 from the sale of shares of Common Stock and convertible notes to Hemingfold Investments, Ltd. ("Hemingfold") and Union Atlantic Partners I Limited ("UA Partners"). On November 21, 1996, the Company used approximately $698,978 of such proceeds to acquire substantially all of its interests in the shares of Galacticomm, Inc. See "--Acquisition of Galacticomm, Inc." The remaining proceeds of this funding were allocated to working capital. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation." In September 1997, Hemingfold transferred all of its rights and interests in the agreements described below to Kenworthy International, Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Peder Sager Wallenberg Charitable Trust (the "Wallenberg Trust"), an affiliate of Hemingfold. Accordingly, references to the Wallenberg Trust below and elsewhere in this Prospectus refer to Hemingfold for all periods prior to such transfer. In connection with the transaction with the Wallenberg Trust, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Wallenberg Trust Stock Purchase Agreement"), whereby the Wallenberg Trust received 488,488 shares of Common Stock in exchange for $1,250,000 in cash or $2.56 per share. Pursuant to the Wallenberg Trust Stock Purchase Agreement, the Wallenberg Trust was originally granted the following rights with respect to such shares of Common Stock: (i) piggyback registration rights ("Piggyback Registration Rights") for up to four registrations; (ii) demand registration rights ("Demand Registration Rights") for one registration; (iii) tag-along rights ("Tag Along Rights") that require that such shares be included on a pro rata basis in certain sales of Common Stock by either Peter Berg or Yannick Tessier; and (iv) bring along rights ("Bring Along Rights") that require that such shares be included on a pro rata basis in certain offers for the purchase of the Common Stock of either Peter Berg or Yannick Tessier for a three year period ending November 20, 1999. The Wallenberg Trust Stock Purchase Agreement originally provided that the shares acquired 34 by the Wallenberg Trust would additionally be granted: (x) certain anti-dilution rights if the Company issued securities below $2.56 per share; (y) preemptive rights for any future issuance of the Company's securities; and (z) certain rachet rights which would have entitled the Wallenberg Trust to receive approximately 247,077 shares of Common Stock if the Company's after tax earnings for the year ended December 31, 1997 were less than $1,000,000 and approximately 123,538 shares of Common Stock if the Company's after tax earnings for such period were between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000. By letter agreement, dated September 8, 1997, the ratchet rights were waived and, upon the effective date of this offering the anti-dilution rights and preemptive rights will be waived in exchange for the Company's September 1997 issuance of 73,859 shares of Common Stock to the Wallenberg Trust. Messrs. Berg and Tessier have, for so long as the Wallenberg Trust beneficially owns more than 20 percent of the outstanding Common Stock, agreed to vote their shares in favor of one person nominated by the Wallenberg Trust to the Board of Directors of the Company, and, after the effective date of this Prospectus, two persons nominated by the Wallenberg Trust. The current nominee of the Wallenberg Trust is Claus Stenbaek. See "Management--Directors and Officers of the Company." Simultaneous with the Wallenberg Trust Stock Purchase Agreement, the Wallenberg Trust loaned the Company $1,250,000 and received a Convertible Promissory Note (the "Wallenberg Trust Note"), dated November 21, 1996. The Wallenberg Trust Note bears interest at a rate of 10 percent per year, payable quarterly. As amended by a letter agreement, dated September 8, 1997, between the Company and the Wallenberg Trust, the outstanding principal of the Wallenberg Trust Note will be automatically converted into 488,488 shares of Common Stock (based upon a conversion price of $2.56 per share) on the effective date of this offering. Interest accrued on such note will be paid from the proceeds of this offering. See "Use of Proceeds." Upon issuance, such shares will have the same Piggyback Registration, Demand Registration, Tag Along and Bring Along Rights as those granted in connection with the Wallenberg Trust Stock Purchase Agreement. The Wallenberg Trust Note (and the UA Partners Note discussed below) is secured by, among other things, the accounts, inventory, equipment and general intangibles of the Company, which security interest will terminate upon conversion of such Notes and the payment of all accrued interest. On November 21, 1996, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "UA Partners Stock Purchase Agreement") with UA Partners, pursuant to which UA Partners acquired 48,849 shares of Common Stock for cash consideration of $125,000 or $2.56 per share and loaned the Company $125,000. In exchange for the loan, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note ("UA Partners Note") to UA Partners. Other than the number of shares purchased and amount loaned, the terms of the UA Partners Stock Purchase Agreement and the UA Partners Note are identical in all material respects to the Wallenberg Trust Stock Purchase Agreement and the Wallenberg Trust Note. By letter agreement, dated September 8, 1997, UA Partners waived the ratchet rights and, effective upon the effective date of this offering, has agreed to waive the anti-dilution rights and preemptive rights originally set forth in the UA Partners Stock Purchase Agreement in exchange for the Company's September 1997 issuance of 7,386 shares of Common Stock. The outstanding principal of the UA Partners Note will be automatically converted into 48,849 shares of Common Stock (based upon a conversion price of $2.56 per share) on the effective date of this offering. In connection with their loans to the Company, the Wallenberg Trust and UA Partners entered into an Intercreditor Agreement with the Company and Union Atlantic L.C. ("Union Atlantic"). Pursuant to this agreement, the Wallenberg Trust and UA Partners have appointed Union Atlantic to serve as their collateral agent with respect to the loans made to the Company under the Wallenberg Trust Note and the UA Partners Note and have agreed that, in the event of default by the Company under such notes, the parties will share any payments in proportion to the amount outstanding under their respective notes from the Company. The Wallenberg Trust purchased 66,902 shares of Common Stock in the Private Placement and 10 Bridge Units in the Bridge Financing. UA Partners purchased two Bridge Units in the Bridge Financing. See "Recent Financings." CONSULTING AGREEMENTS WITH UNION ATLANTIC The Company has engaged the services of Union Atlantic since November 1996. Union Atlantic is a consulting firm specializing in emerging technology companies. Timothy Mahoney, who is a managing member of Union Atlantic, is also a director of the Company. See "Management--Directors and Officers of the Company" for additional information regarding Mr. Mahoney's experience with respect to the operations and management of technology companies. Pursuant to one of two consulting agreements that the Company has entered into with Union Atlantic, Union Atlantic is entitled to receive a monthly fee of $10,000 until June 30, 2001 for providing consulting services with respect to the Company's operations, administration, corporate development and marketing and distribution strategies. Union Atlantic owns all of the outstanding voting securities of Union Atlantic Partners I Limited ("UA Partners"), which acquired 48,849 shares of Common Stock and the UA Partners Note in November 1996. See "--Wallenberg Trust and UA Partners Investments." In connection with the UA Partners' investment, the Company paid Union Atlantic the following amounts for identifying the Wallenberg Trust to the Company: (i) cash compensation of $375,500; (ii) a three-year warrant to purchase 35 139,708 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.56 per share with Demand and Piggyback Registration Rights; and (iii) 78,133 shares of Common Stock. Similarly, the Company paid Union Atlantic the following amounts for identifying investors in the June 1997 Private Placement: (y) cash compensation of $126,209; and (z) a three-year warrant to purchase 33,774 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.74 per share with Demand and Piggyback Registration Rights. Pursuant to the consulting agreement between Union Atlantic and the Company, Union Atlantic has designated Mr. Mahoney as its representative to the Company's Board of Directors. Pursuant to its second consulting agreement with the Company, Union Atlantic is providing the Company with the services of Robert O'Brien, a sales and marketing specialist with over 25 years experience, including positions with Truevision Corporation, Ulsi Systems, Inc., Softsmith Corporation, and Gap Stores, Inc. The Company pays Union Atlantic a fee of $7,000 per month for Mr. O'Brien's services and has agreed to reimburse Mr. O'Brien for business expenses approved by the Company. Pursuant to such consulting agreement, the Company has granted Mr. O'Brien an immediately exercisable, three year option to purchase 2,462 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.56 per share. The shares of Common Stock underlying such option have been granted Demand and Piggyback Registration Rights. Mr. O'Brien has also been granted an option to purchase 7,386 shares of Common Stock at a per share price of $6.50 under the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan. ACQUISITION OF GALACTICOMM, INC. The Company owns 99.9 percent of Galacticomm, Inc.'s common stock. In November 1996, the Company acquired 8,037,203 shares of the common stock of Galacticomm, Inc. (representing approximately 96% of Galacticomm, Inc.'s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock) in exchange for the issuance of 228,396 shares of Common Stock and cash of $698,978. In February 1997, the Company acquired an additional 848,404 shares of the common stock of Galacticomm, Inc. in exchange for the issuance of 42,895 shares of Common Stock and cash consideration of $56,937. BERG AND TESSIER GRANT OF WARRANTS TO THE WALLENBERG TRUST Peter Berg, Yannick Tessier and a third minority shareholder of the Company have granted the Wallenberg Trust the right to purchase an aggregate of 615,496 shares of Common Stock from them at an exercise price of $3.25 per share, pursuant to three warrants, dated March 15, 1997 (the "Private Warrants"). On October 17, 1997, the parties agreed to extend the expiration date of the Private Warrants from December 31, 1997 to March 31, 1998, as a result of which the Company will recognize an expense of approximately $30,000 in the fourth quarter of 1997. The Wallenberg Trust may exercise the Private Warrants at any time prior to March 31, 1998 and will be deemed to have exercised the Private Warrants automatically on the effective date of this offering. To guarantee the Wallenberg Trust's payment of the exercise price for the Private Warrants, the parties have entered into an escrow agreement (the "Warrant Escrow"), pursuant to which certificates representing an aggregate of 615,496 shares of Common Stock underlying the Private Warrants (the "Escrowed Shares") and the $2,000,000 aggregate exercise price (the "Escrowed Funds") have been placed in escrow. On October 17, 1997, the escrow agreement was amended by the parties to direct the escrow agent to use $500,000 of the Escrowed Funds to purchase 10 Bridge Units in the name of the Wallenberg Trust. See "Recent Financings." Such Bridge Units have been placed in the Warrant Escrow. If the Private Warrants are exercised prior to March 31, 1998, the escrow agent will distribute to the Wallenberg Trust the Escrowed Shares and the Bridge Warrants included in such Bridge Units and will distribute to the three shareholders the Escrowed Funds and the Bridge Notes included in such Bridge Units. If the Private Warrants are not exercised by the Wallenberg Trust prior to March 31, 1998, the Escrowed Funds and Units will be returned to the Wallenberg Trust and the Escrowed Shares will be returned to the three shareholders. A total of $200,000 of the Escrowed Funds was loaned to the Company, which amount was repaid to the Warrant Escrow at the closing of the Bridge Financing.

38 DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES The following section does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, copies of which have been incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, of which this Prospectus forms a part. The Company's authorized capital consists of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Preferred Stock"). COMMON STOCK Upon completion of this offering, there will be _________ shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Each outstanding share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote, either in person or by proxy, on all matters that may be voted upon by the owners thereof at meetings of the shareholders. The holders of Common Stock: (i) have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefor, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, (ii) are entitled to share ratably in all of the assets of the Company available for distribution to holders of Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, (iii) do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights, or redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable thereto, and (iv) are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which shareholders may vote at all meetings of shareholders. The rights of the holders of Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock that may be issued in the future, including voting, dividend, and liquidation rights. The holders of shares of Common Stock of the Company do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors of the Company if they so choose and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of the Company's directors. UNITS Each of the Units offered hereby consists of one share of Common Stock and one Warrant. Neither the Common Stock nor the Warrants included in the Units may be separately traded or transferred until the First Exercise Date. WARRANTS The Warrants will be issued in registered form pursuant to the terms of a Warrant Agreement (the "Warrant Agreement") between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Co., New York, New York, as warrant agent (the "Warrant Agent"). The Company has authorized the issuance of up to ___________ Warrants to purchase an aggregate of _________ shares of Common Stock (exclusive of securities issuable pursuant to the Representative Unit Purchase Option) and has reserved an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of such Warrants. None of the Warrants are currently issued and outstanding. For every two Warrants, the holder is entitled to purchase one share of Common Stock upon payment of the exercise price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus, subject to adjustment. The Warrants are exercisable at any time commencing (the "First Exercise Date") 90 days after the date of this Prospectus, or on such earlier date as may be determined by the Company and the Representative, and ending on the third anniversary of the date of this Prospectus, provided that at such time a current prospectus relating to the Common Stock is in effect and the Common Stock is qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under applicable state securities laws. The Warrants are not transferrable separately from the Common Stock issued with such Warrant as part of the Units until the First Exercise Date. The Company may, at its option redeem all, but not less than all, outstanding Warrants, commencing 30 days after the First Exercise Date upon not less than 30 days prior notice to the registered holders of the Warrants for a redemption price of $.05 for each share of Common Stock to which the Warrant holder would then be entitled upon exercise of the Warrants being redeemed, in the event that: (i) there exists a current prospectus relating to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants under an effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the issuance of the Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants has been qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under applicable state securities laws, and (ii) the shares of Common Stock of the Company have had an average closing bid and asked price of not less than 150% of the Warrant exercise price 39 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days ending three trading days prior to the date of the redemption notice. Holders of Warrants will automatically forfeit their rights to purchase the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants unless the Warrants are exercised before 5:00 p.m. (Miami time) on the date set for redemption. All of the outstanding Warrants may be affected. A notice of any redemption of the redemption date is required to be mailed to each of the registered holders of the Warrants by first class mail, postage prepaid, 30 days before the date fixed for redemption. The notice of redemption is required to specify the date fixed for redemption, and the right to exercise the Warrants shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (Miami time) on the redemption date. The Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the certificates therefor on or prior to the final exercise date (as explained above) at the offices of the Warrant Agent with the "Subscription Form" on the reverse side of the certificate(s) completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by payment (in the form of certified or cashier's check payable to the order of the Company) of the full exercise price for the number of Warrants being exercised. The holders of the Warrants will not have any of the rights or privileges of shareholders of the Company (except to the extent they own Common Stock of the Company) prior to the exercise of the Warrants. The exercise price of the Warrants and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise thereof are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain evens such as stock splits, stock dividends or the like, as set forth in the Warrant Agreement. In the event of a capital reorganization of the Company, reclassification of the Common Stock or a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, or a disposition of substantially all of the Company's properties and assets to, any other corporation, the Warrants then outstanding will thereafter be exercisable into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) to which the holders thereof would have been entitled if they had exercised such Warrants and received shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or disposition, consistent with the requirements for exercise set forth in the Warrant Agreement. For the life of the Warrants, the Warrant holders have the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of the Common Stock without assuming the risk of ownership of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, with a resulting dilution in the interest of the Company's shareholders by reason of exercise of Warrants at a time when the exercise price is less than the market price for the Common Stock. Further, the terms on which the Company could obtain additional capital during the life of the Warrants may be adversely affected as a result of the Warrants being outstanding. The Warrant holders may be expected to exercise their Warrants at a time when the Company would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital by an offering of Common Stock on terms more favorable than those provided for by the Warrants. For a holder to exercise the Warrants there must be a current registration statement in effect with the Securities and Exchange Commission and registration or qualification with, or approval from, various state securities agencies with respect to the shares or other securities underlying the Warrants. The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to cause a registration statement with respect to such securities under the Securities Act to continue to be effective during the term of the Warrants and to take such other actions under the laws of various states as may be required to cause the sale of Common Stock upon exercise of Warrants to be lawful, unless such action would cause the Company to be subject to general service of process or require it to amend its charter documents or any action taken by the Company's board of directors. However, the Company will not be required to honor the exercise of Warrants if, in the opinion of the Company's Board of Directors upon advice of counsel, the sale of securities upon exercise would be unlawful. The Company is not required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock, and in lieu thereof will make a cash payment based upon the current market value of such fractional shares. A holder of the Warrants will not possess any voting or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company unless he or she exercises the Warrants. The Warrant exercise price was arbitrarily determined by negotiation between the Company and the Representative. The Company may reduce the exercise price of the Warrants or extend the warrant expiration date upon notice to Warrant holders. The foregoing is merely a summary of the rights and privileges of the holders of Warrants, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Agreement. OUTSTANDING OPTIONS AND WARRANTS On the effective date of this Prospectus, the following options and warrants (exclusive of the Warrants) will be outstanding: (i) 370,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options under the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan, of which 164,337 options are presently issued and outstanding; (ii) 363,143 shares of Common Stock; (iii) 173,482 shares of 40 Common Stock which may be acquired upon the exercise of two warrants; (iv) 537,337 shares of Common Stock underlying two convertible promissory notes which notes will be automatically converted on the effective date of this offering; and (v) 957,600 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the Bridge Warrants, which amount includes warrants to purchase 159,600 shares of Common Stock granted to the Representative for serving as the placement agent of the Bridge Financing. See "Recent Financings." REGISTRATION RIGHTS AND SALES BY SELLING SHAREHOLDERS The Company has granted Demand Registration Rights and Piggyback Registration Rights to the Wallenberg Trust, UA Partners, Union Atlantic and Robert O'Brien with respect to an aggregate of 1,947,359 shares of Common Stock held by them and/or issuable to them upon conversion or exercise of promissory notes or warrants held by them. See "Certain Transactions." The Demand Registration Rights are limited to one registration and may not be exercised until the earlier of November 20, 1999 or the date the Company's equity securities are publicly traded. The Piggyback Registration Rights provide that if the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Act, the holders of such rights are entitled to include shares of Common Stock in the registration. Such registration rights are subject to certain conditions and limitations, among them the right of the underwriters of a registered offering to limit the number of shares included in such registration. Pursuant to the terms of the UPOs sold to the Representative in connection with this offering, the Company has agreed that, for a period of four years beginning on the first anniversary of this offering, that upon written demand of the holders of a majority of the UPOs it will, on one occasion, register for sale in a public offering under the Securities Act all or any portion of the securities issuable upon exercise of the UPOs. See "Underwriting." Any such registration would be at the Company's expense. The Company has also agreed to include such underlying securities in any appropriate registration statement which is filed by the Company during the four years beginning one year from the date of this Prospectus. In connection with the Bridge Financing, the Company agreed to register the shares of Common Stock underlying the Bridge Warrants in a registration statement for an initial public offering of the Company's securities. See "Recent Financings." Accordingly, an aggregate of 957,600 shares of Common Stock underlying the Bridge Warrants have been included in the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. Such registration includes 159,600 shares of Common Stock underlying Bridge Warrants granted to the Representative for serving as the placement agent of the Bridge Financing. The Bridge Warrants are exercisable at price of $3.75 per share until October 27, 2000. Holders of the Bridge Warrants have agreed not to sell or transfer the shares of Common Stock underlying the Bridge Warrants for a six-month period following the date of this Prospectus, unless otherwise agreed to by the Representative. Sales of Common Stock after the expiration of the six month period by such selling shareholders or even the potential of such sales will likely have an adverse effect on the market prices of the Units, Common Stock and the Warrants. PREFERRED STOCK The Company's Board of Directors has the authority to issue 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.001 par value, none of which is issued and outstanding, in one or more series and to fix, by resolution, conditional, full, limited or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any,and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, including the number of shares in such series (which the Board may increase or decrease as permitted by Florida law), liquidation preferences, dividend rates, conversion or exchange rights, redemption provisions of the shares constituting any series, and such other special rights and protective provision with respect to any class or series as the Board may deem advisable without any further vote or action by the shareholders. Any shares of Preferred Stock so issued would have priority over the Common Stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights or both and could have voting and other rights of shareholders. The issuance of Preferred Stock with voting or conversion rights may adversely affect the voting rights of the holders of Common Stock. The Company has no present plans to issue shares of Preferred Stock. CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE ARTICLES AND BYLAWS GENERAL. A number of provisions of the Articles of Incorporation ("Articles") and Bylaws ("Bylaws") of the Company concern matters of corporate governance and the rights of shareholders. Certain of these provisions, as well as the ability of the Board of Directors to issue shares of Preferred Stock and to set the voting rights, preferences and other terms thereof, may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may discourage takeover attempts not first approved by the Board of Directors (including takeovers which certain shareholders may deem to be in their best interests). To the extent takeover attempts are discouraged, temporary fluctuations 41 in the market price of the Common Stock, which may result from actual or rumored takeover attempts, may be inhibited. These provisions, together with the ability of the Board to issue Preferred Stock without further shareholder action, also could delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent Directors or the assumption of control by shareholders, even if such removal or assumption would be beneficial to shareholders of the Company. These provisions also could discourage or make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, even if they could be favorable to the interests of shareholders, and could potentially depress the market price of the Common Stock. The Board of Directors believes that these provisions are appropriate to protect the interests of the Company and all of its shareholders. MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS. The Bylaws provide that a special meeting of shareholders may be called by the Board of Directors or the holders of not less than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock entitled to vote at such a meeting unless otherwise required by law. The Company's Bylaws provide that only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at that special meeting, unless otherwise provided by law. In addition, the Bylaws set forth certain advance notice and informational requirements and time limitations on any director nomination or any new business which a shareholder wishes to propose for consideration at an annual meeting of shareholders. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. The Articles provide that directors, officers and employees and agents of the Company shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by Florida law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended, against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with service for or on behalf of the Company. The Articles also provide that the right of directors and officers to indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right possessed or hereafter acquired under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or otherwise. AMENDMENT OF BYLAWS. The Articles provide that the Bylaws may be amended or repealed by the Board of Directors or by the shareholders. Such action by the Board of Directors requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office. Such action by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the total votes eligible to be cast by holders of voting stock with respect to such amendment or repeal at an annual meeting of shareholders or a special meeting called for such purposes. SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE After completion of this offering, the Company will have __________ shares of Common Stock outstanding assuming no exercise of the Warrants, the Bridge Warrants, the Underwriters' over-allotment option, the Representative Unit Purchase Option or any other outstanding options or warrants. Of these shares, all of the shares of Common Stock included in the Units offered hereby will be freely tradeable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless purchased by "affiliates" of the Company, as that term is defined in Rule 144. The remaining 4,367,245 shares of Common Stock were issued and sold by the Company in private transactions and are eligible for public sale only if registered under the Securities Act, sold in accordance with Rule 144 thereunder or pursuant to an exemption from registration. In general, under Rule 144 under the Securities Act as currently in effect, any affiliate of the Company or any person (or persons whose shares are aggregated in accordance with the Rule) who has beneficially owned restricted securities for at least one year would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the reported average weekly trading volume in the over-the-counter market for the four weeks preceding the sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner of sale restrictions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information concerning the Company. Persons who have not been affiliates of the Company for at least three months and who have held their shares for more than two years are entitled to sell restricted securities without regard to the volume, manner of sale, notice and public information requirements of Rule 144. The Company, its executive officers, directors and shareholders (other than those noted below) have agreed that for a period of one year from the date of this Prospectus, they will not, without the prior written consent of the Representative, offer, sell, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock. See "Underwriting." Such lock-up does not apply to the following securities: . The Representative, in its sole discretion at any time and without notice, may release any and all shares from the lock-up agreement and permit holders of the shares to resell all or any portion of their shares prior to the expiration of the one-year lock-up period. 42 Prior to this offering, there has been no market for the Company's securities and no prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of Common Stock or the availability of such shares for sale will have on the market prices prevailing from time to time. The possibility that substantial amounts of shares of Common Stock may be sold in the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the shares of Common Stock and/or may impair the Company's ability to raise equity capital in the future. TRANSFER AGENT AND WARRANT AGENT The transfer agent for the Common Stock and the Warrant Agent for the Warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Co., New York, New York. UNDERWRITING The Underwriters named below, for whom First Equity Corporation of Florida is acting as Representative, have severally agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement (a copy of which is an exhibit to the Registration Statement filed with the Commission of which this Prospectus is a part) to purchase and pay for the number of Units from the Company set forth opposite their respective names below: UNDERWRITERS NUMBER OF UNITS ------------ --------------- First Equity Corporation of Florida......................... Total....................................................... The Units are being sold on a firm commitment basis. The Underwriting Agreement provides, however, that the obligations of the several Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Units are subject to certain conditions precedent, including approval of certain legal matters by counsel. The Underwriters are committed to purchase all of the Units offered hereby if any are purchased. The Units are being offered by the Underwriters, subject to prior sale, when, as and if delivered to and accepted by the Underwriters. The Representative has advised the Company that the Underwriters propose initially to offer the Units to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus. The Underwriters may allow to certain dealers who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") concessions not to exceed $____ per Unit, of which amount a sum not in excess of $.____ per Unit may be re-allowed by such dealers to other dealers who are members of the NASD. After the initial public offering, the public offering price, the concessions and the reallowances may be changed by the Representative. The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option, exercisable not later than 45 days after the date of this Prospectus, to purchase from the Company at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and the non-accountable expense allowance, up to ________ additional Units. The Underwriters may exercise this option in whole or, from time to time, in part, for the sole purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the sale of the Units offered hereby. To the extent the Underwriters exercise such option, each Underwriter will have a firm commitment, subject to certain conditions, to purchase that number of the additional Units. The Company has agreed to pay the Representative a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 3% of the gross proceeds of this offering (including the sale of any Units subject to the over-allotment option), of which $25,000 has been paid as of the date of this Prospectus. The Company has also agreed to pay all expenses in connection with qualifying the Units offered hereby for sale under the laws of such states as the Representative may designate, including fees and expenses of counsel (up to $25,000) retained for such purposes by the Representative and the costs and disbursements in connection with qualifying the offering with the NASD. 43 The Company has agreed, upon closing of this offering, to sell to the Representative and its designees, for $75.00, Representative Unit Purchase Options ("UPOs") which entitle the Representative to purchase Units (the "Representative Units"), exclusive of Units sold under the Underwriters' over-allotment option. The UPOs will be exercisable for a four-year term, commencing one year from the effective date of the offering, at an exercise price equal to $ __________ (120% of the public offering price of the Units offered hereby). The Representative Units, issuable upon exercise of the UPOs, consist of one share of Common Stock and a non-redeemable Warrant. The UPOs will be restricted from sale, transfer, assignment or hypothecation (other than to officers and partners of the Representative or to other NASD members participating in the offering or their officers or partners) for one year following the date of this Prospectus. The number of Units covered by the UPOs and the exercise price are subject to adjustment upon the subdivision, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or certain mergers and consolidations. It may be expected that the UPOs will be exercised only if it is advantageous to the Representative. Therefore, during the period in which the UPOs may be exercised, the holders thereof are given, at a nominal cost, the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of the Common Stock. To the extent that the UPOs are exercised, dilution to the interests of the Company's shareholders will occur. Further, the terms upon which the Company will be able to obtain additional equity capital may be adversely affected since the holders of the UPOs can be expected to exercise them at a time when the Company would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to the Company than those provided in the UPOs. Any gain from the sale of the shares issued upon exercise of the UPOs or the underlying Representative Warrants or the shares underlying the Representative Warrants may be deemed additional underwriter compensation to the Representative. The Company has granted the Representative certain registration rights with respect to the securities underlying the UPOs. See "Description of Securities -- Registration Rights and Sales by Selling Shareholders." The Company has also granted to the Representative the right, for a period of three years after the date of this Prospectus, to nominate a designee of the Representative for election to the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company's officers, directors and shareholders (other than _______ ) have agreed to vote their shares of Common Stock in favor of such designee. The Representative has not yet exercised its right to designate such a person. In addition, the Company has granted to the Representative for a period of two years after the date of this Prospectus the right to represent the Company in connection with any merger or acquisition involving the Company for which the Company intends to use the services of an investment banker or a financial advisor and a right of first refusal to manage any public or private offering of the Company's securities. The Company does not presently anticipate incurring any expenses related to these arrangements with the Representative. The Representative acted as placement agent for the Company in connection with the Bridge Financing and was paid a placement fee equal to: (i) cash compensation equal to 10 percent of the principal amount of the Bridge Notes; (ii) a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 3 percent of the principal amount of the Bridge Notes and certain accountable expenses totaling $10,000; and (iii) warrants to purchase 159,600 shares of Common Stock on substantially the same terms as the Bridge Warrants, which shares have been included in the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. See "Description of Securities -- Registration Rights and Sales by Selling Shareholders." The holders of an aggregate of _______ shares of Common Stock ( _____ % of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock after giving effect to this offering, but without giving effect to the issuance, if any, of shares pursuant to the over-allotment option), consisting of all the officers and directors of the Company, and all shareholders of the Company (other than ___________ ), have agreed not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any beneficial interest in any Common Stock owned by them, other than gifts and intra-family transfers (so long as the holders remain subject to the restrictions), for a period of 12 months following the date of this Prospectus, without the prior written consent of the Representative. Prior to this offering there has been no public trading market for the Units, the Common Stock of the Warrants. Consequently, the initial public offering price of the Units and the exercise price of the Warrants have been determined by negotiation between the Company and the Representative, do not necessarily bear any relationship to the Company's assets, book value, revenues or other established criteria of value, and should not be considered indicative of the actual value of the Company's securities. Factors considered in determining such public offering price, in addition to prevailing market conditions, include the history of and prospects for the industry in which the Company competes, an assessment of the Company's management, its past and present operations, the prospects of the Company, market prices of similar securities of comparable publicly-traded companies, the general condition of the securities market and such other factors as were deemed relevant. 44 In connection with this offering, the Underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the shares at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. Such stabilizing, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make. The Representative has informed the Company that it does not expect sales to discretionary accounts by the Underwriters to exceed 5% of the total number of Units offered hereby. See "Principal Shareholders." The foregoing includes a summary of the principal terms of the Underwriting Agreement and does not purport to be complete. Reference is made to the copy of the form of Underwriting Agreement filed as an exhibit to the Company's Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. F-6 GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1996 and (unaudited) June 30, 1997 (1) THE COMPANY AND LIQUIDITY Galacticomm Technologies, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company") develops and licenses computer software applications and tools. The Company was incorporated in December 1995 under the name of Iview Software, Inc. ("Iview"), and changed its name to Galacticomm Technologies, Inc. after acquiring Galacticomm, Inc. ("Galacticomm") in November 1996 (see note 2). The Company was originally incorporated with 5,000,000 authorized shares, par value $.001. At that time, 687,596 shares were issued of which 607,875 were owned by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The consideration paid for these founders shares was $20,000. During 1996 the founding shareholders contributed an additional $29,684 bringing the per share price for the founders shares to $.036 per share. On November 19, 1996, the Board of Directors approved the recapitalization of the Company which increased the authorized shares of common stock from 5,000,000 shares to 20,000,000, reduced the par value from $.001 per share to $.0001 per share and effected a 2 for 1 split of the Company's common stock. In September 1997, the Company effected a 4.061771824 for one reverse split of the Company's common stock. The par value of each common share remained $0.0001 and a total of $1,048 was reclassified from common stock to additional paid-in capital. All share and per share amounts have been restated to retroactively reflect the reverse stock split. In addition, the Company's Board of Directors recommended and the shareholders approved the authorization of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. Prior to the acquisition of Galacticomm, Iview developed, marketed and supported software that enabled individuals to broadcast and receive video and audio signals over the Internet and on dial-up networks and offered online subscription services using such software. Galacticomm was incorporated in July 1985 and develops and sells network-centric software applications and tools. Its primary product, Worldgroup, a client-server software, is a platform that merges Bulletin Board Systems, E-Mail, and Worldgroup functions that enable enterprises to provide client/server applications over the Internet and Intranet and secure external data exchanges with customers, field agents, suppliers, and others. On November 21, 1996, the Company merged with Tessier Technologies, Inc. (see note 2). Tessier specialized in the on-line software industry selling platform software from Galacticomm. Tessier also developed its own line of software as add-ons to the baseline products in both business and entertainment. At December 31, 1996, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $475,580. Additionally, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,041,268 for the year ended December 31, 1996. The accompanying unaudited June 30, 1997 financial statements indicate that these situations are continuing as current liabilities exceeded current assets by $638,076 at June 30, 1997 and a net loss of $1,079,857 was incurred for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Pursuant to its business strategy, the Company expects to continue making expenditures on new product introductions, marketing, research and development. As such, the Company expects to incur a loss in 1997 and does not expect to generate cash flow from operating activities during 1997 sufficient to offset such expenditures. The Company's losses have been funded through the sale of debt and equity securities and during October 1997, the Company completed a bridge loan financing. The Company also plans to raise additional capital through an initial public offering [see note 12(a)]. The net proceeds of the bridge loan financing will enable the Company to remain liquid for the remainder of 1997 and through at least June 1998. The foregoing calculation gives no effect to any proceeds from the planned offering discussed in note 12(a). (Continued) F-7 GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (2) ACQUISITIONS On August 26, 1996 the Company entered into an agreement with the principal and controlling shareholder of Tessier to issue him shares of the Company's common stock such that he would have the same percentage interest in the Company as that of the then current controlling shareholder (36 percent). On November 20, 1996, this agreement was consummated as part of a merger between the Company and Tessier. Under the plan of merger the Company acquired Tessier in exchange for 1,282,183 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $195,095. On November 21, 1996, the Company acquired 96 percent of the outstanding common stock of Galacticomm in exchange for 228,396 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $529,515 and $698,978 in cash. Such amounts include $287,522 of acquisition costs consisting of $87,502 in cash and 78,133 shares of common stock valued at $2.56 per share (see note 8). Certain shares of the Galacticomm common stock acquired by the Company on November 21, 1996 were subject to a stock purchase warrant (the "Galacticomm Warrant") that had been granted to certain third parties by the previous owner of such Galacticomm common stock. In connection with the cancellation of the Galacticomm Warrant, the two majority shareholder's of the Company granted such holders 73,859 warrants (the "New Warrants") to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. The New Warrants bear an exercise price of $3.05 per warrant and may be exercised at any time through November 21, 1999. The fair value of the New Warrants was immaterial to the Company's acquisition of Galacticomm. The above transactions were recorded under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of Tessier and Galacticomm for the period from October 31, 1996 to December 31, 1996 have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The operations from October 31, 1996 to November 20, 1996 for Tessier and to November 21, 1996 for Galacticomm, are not material to the consolidated financial statements. The purchase prices have been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair market values at the dates of acquisition. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows: GALACTICOMM TESSIER ------------ ------- Current assets $ 347,136 44,360 Property and equipment 451,113 66,141 Goodwill 1,911,431 206,627 Current liabilities (1,452,338) (38,114) Long-term liabilities (28,849) (83,919) ---------- ------- $ 1,228,493 195,095 =========== ======= The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the Company for the year ended December 31, 1996 gives effect to the Tessier and Galacticomm acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 1996, after including the impact of certain adjustments, such as amortization of goodwill and interest expense related to financings obtained to fund the acquisitions. In management's opinion, the unaudited pro forma combined results of (Continued) F-8 GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS operations are not necessarily indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had the acquisition been consummated at January 1, 1996, or of future operations of the acquired companies under the ownership and management of the Company. Revenues, net $ 6,189,505 ============ Net loss $ (4,221,950) ============ Net loss per share $ (.98) ============ (3) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (A) UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION The unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1997, and the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and the unaudited consolidated statement of shareholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 1997 include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Operating results for six months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. (B) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Galacticomm Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Galacticomm Inc. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. (C) CASH FLOWS The Company considers investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. (D) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable are principally from distributors and end-users of the Company's products. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and has recorded an allowance for potential credit losses and product returns of $124,363 at December 31, 1996. The Company is subject to rapid changes in technology and shifts in consumer demand which could result in credit losses and product returns in excess of the Company's reserves at December 31, 1996. (E) INVENTORIES Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. The Company's inventories consist primarily of software media, manuals and related packaging materials and hardware and hardware components which are subject to rapid technological obsolescence or reduction in value as a result of new products developed by competitors or as a result of normal competitive pressures. The Company periodically estimates an allowance for obsolete inventory based on current market conditions. Changes in the marketplace may significantly affect management's estimates. (Continued) F-9 GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (F) LONG-LIVED ASSETS Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of assets, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the assets and any gain or loss is recognized. Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected periods to be benefited, generally three to five years. During 1996 approximately $38,000 was recorded as goodwill amortization expense. The Company implemented the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF," effective January 1, 1996. The Company reviews its long-lived assets (property, plant and equipment, and related intangible assets that arose from business combinations accounted for under the purchase method) for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value. The adoption of Statement No. 121 had no impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. (G) REVENUE RECOGNITION Sales are recognized at the time the product is shipped, in accordance with the provisions of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 91-1, "Software Revenue Recognition." While the Company has no obligations to perform future services subsequent to shipment, the Company provides telephone customer support as an accommodation to purchasers of its products. Costs associated with this effort are not significant and are expensed as incurred. Sales to distributors are subject to agreements allowing limited rights of return and price protection. The Company provides reserves for estimated future returns, exchanges and price protection. The Company offers distributors co-op funds that are used to promote the Company's products. These funds are generally paid as a credit against outstanding invoices and are included in marketing expense during the period in which the revenue is recognized. At December 31, 1996 the Company had deferred revenues recorded in the accompanying balance sheet related to customer subscriptions paid in advance. (H) SOFTWARE LICENSING AGREEMENTS During February and April 1996 the Company entered into service agreements with two marketing and sales companies ("Sales Companies"). Under these agreements there were various compensation arrangements for sales services. For prepaid services the Company received 45 percent of the prepaid amount. In November 1996, the Company terminated these agreements and entered into new licensing agreements with the two Sales Companies to use the Company's service mark. These agreements (Continued) F-10 GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS require royalties of 12 percent of the licensee's gross revenue and expire in 1999. The revenue is recognized as the gross revenue is reported by the licensees. During 1996 the revenue from all the above agreements was approximately $1,480,000. (I) SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS The Company accounts for software development costs under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed" ("FAS 86"). Under FAS 86, the costs associated with software development are required to be capitalized after technological feasibility has been established. Costs incurred by the Company subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility have been insignificant and, as a result, the Company has not capitalized any development costs. (J) INCOME TAXES The Company elected S corporation status effective upon inception and maintained that status until October 29, 1996, when it became a taxable corporation. Under S corporation status, each shareholder is individually responsible for reporting their share of taxable income or loss. Accordingly, through October 29, 1996, no provision for Federal income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. A provision for state income taxes is made where applicable. Given that the Company has incurred net losses since inception, had the Company been a taxable corporation prior to October 30, 1996, no provision for income taxes would have been recorded. Beginning October 30, 1996, the Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (Statement 109). Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. (K) STOCK OPTION PLAN The Company accounts for its stock option plan (see note 12(d)) in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, which permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. Under APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. The Company has elected to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123. (Continued) F-11 GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (L) NET LOSS PER SHARE Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. In accordance with a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting bulletin, certain common stock and common stock equivalents issued within a 12-month period prior to the initial filing of a registration statement relating to an initial public offering are treated as outstanding for the entire period (using the treasury stock method). (M) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of each of the Company's long-term debt instruments is based on the amount of future cash flows associated with each instrument discounted using the Company's current borrowing rate for similar debt instruments of comparable maturity. The carrying amounts approximate the estimated fair value at December 31, 1996. (N) USE OF ESTIMATES Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Significant estimates are primarily related to provisions for sales returns, bad debt and obsolete inventory. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. (4) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment consisted of the following at December 31, 1996 ESTIMATED USEFUL LIFE ----------- Equipment $ 464,023 5 years Furniture and fixtures 105,875 7 years Software 13,464 3 years -------- 583,362 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization 38,793 -------- $ 544,569 (Continued) F-12 GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (5) INCOME TAXES Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $0, and differed from the amounts computed by applying the United States federal income tax rate of 34 percent to pretax losses as a result of the following: Computed "expected" tax benefit $ 354,031 Increase (reduction) in income taxes resulting from: State income tax benefit, net of federal 35,439 Various non-deductible expenses (3,928) S-corporation earnings from January 1, 1996 to October 29, 1996 not subject to corporate tax (54,716) Increase in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets (330,826) --------- $ - ========= The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 1996 are presented below: Deferred tax assets: Allowances for returns and bad debts $ 9,143 Net operating loss carryforwards 339,730 Goodwill 8,852 Accrued expenses 5,303 --------- Total gross deferred tax assets 363,028 Less valuation allowance (330,826) --------- Total deferred tax asset 32,202 Deferred tax liabilities: Property and equipment 32,202 --------- Net deferred tax asset $ - ========= Realization of deferred tax assets associated with net operating loss carryforwards is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration. Management believes that there is a risk that these net operating loss carryforwards may expire unused and, accordingly has established a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset. The Company's net operating loss carry forward of $902,817 expires in the year 2011. (6) DEBT At December 31, 1996, debt consisted of the following: (A) NOTES PAYABLE The Company's subsidiary has a line of credit with a bank for $300,000 which bears interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1 percent. During May 1997, the Company repaid (Continued) F-13 GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS $100,000 of the outstanding amount on the line of credit and entered into a $200,000 line of credit due on demand with a final maturity of September 30, 1997. At December 31, 1996, $298,575 was outstanding under the line of credit agreement. The line is secured by the Company's accounts receivable, inventory and other assets, and is personally guaranteed by an officer of the Company. (See note 12(a)) The Company issued five notes payable in the original total amount of $80,000, each due on demand, with interest rates of 12 percent per annum. At December 31, 1996 the total unpaid principal balance was $45,000. These notes were repaid during January 1997. Under the terms of the notes, the Company is obligated to pay a royalty ("Royalty") to the creditors equivalent to a certain percentage (ranging from 1.0 percent to 2.0 percent) of the Company's gross revenues while the notes are outstanding. Additionally, after the notes are repaid, the Company is obligated to pay a royalty to the creditors equivalent to a certain percentage (ranging from 0.5 percent to 1.5 percent) of the Company's net revenue (the "Additional Royalty"). During August 1997 the Company terminated the Royalty and Additional Royalty obligation by issuing 22,857 shares of the Company's common stock and paying $72,500 of accrued royalties to such creditors. In connection with the issuance of such common stock, the Company will recognize related expense of approximately $86,000, representing the fair value of the common stock. (B) CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES On November 21, 1996, the Company received proceeds in the amount of $1,375,000 from the issuance of secured convertible promissory notes payable to two shareholders of the Company. These notes are secured by all of the Company's tangible and intangible assets. Each note bears interest at a rate of 10 percent per annum and interest is payable quarterly. The notes each mature at the earliest to occur of: (I) November 21, 1998; (II) The completion of a private placement offering by the Company greater than $3,000,000; or (III) The completion of an IPO of equity or debt securities by the Company. In addition, upon (a) written demand of the creditors or (b) written demand of the Company on or before April 15, 1998, if the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997 show after tax earnings greater than $1,000,000, all principal and accrued interest due and payable under these notes may be converted into shares of the Company's common stock equal to the unpaid outstanding amount of the notes divided by the conversion price of $2.56 per share, the fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of the debt issuance. (Continued) F-14 GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS On September 8, 1997, the convertible notes were amended such that upon the occurrence of any of the following events all principal due under the notes shall be converted into that number of shares of common stock equal to the outstanding principal balance divided by the conversion price of $2.56 per share and all accrued interest shall be paid by the Company: (I) Upon the occurrence of events (a) or (b) as detailed in the preceding paragraph or (II) On the date that the Company's IPO is declared effective by the SEC. During 1997, the Company did not make the quarterly interest payments due on March 31, June 30 and (unaudited) September 30. The Company has obtained a waiver from the holders of the convertible promissory notes waiving all such interest payments until December 31, 1997. (C) NOTE PAYABLE-SHAREHOLDER At December 31, 1996, note payable - shareholder includes a non-interest bearing note payable totaling $50,000, with repayment due in December 1997. (7) ACCRUED EXPENSES Accrued expenses consist of the following at December 31, 1996: Salaries, wages and other compensation $ 307,306 Professional fees 115,620 Rent 138,953 Interest 80,000 Sales returns 34,000 Other 245,799 ------- $ 921,678 ======= (8) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY On November 21, 1996 the Company completed a private placement for $1,375,000 in convertible notes payable (see note 6(b)) and 537,337 shares of its common stock at $2.56 per share. Under the terms of the stock-purchase agreement for the sale of the 537,337 shares, the buyers of such shares were granted piggy-back, demand registration and antidilution rights and certain other rights. On September 8, 1997, the Company issued such buyers 81,245 shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for the buyers retraction of certain rights which were in the original stock purchase agreement. In connection with the private placement and the acquisition of Galacticomm, the Company issued the following consideration in exchange for consulting and advisory services with respect to the Company's finances to a consultant who is a current shareholder of the Company: (i) a warrant to purchase 139,708 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $2.56 per warrant having an approximate fair value of $28,000, (ii) 78,133 shares of the Company's common stock having an approximate fair value of $200,000, and (iii) cash of $357,500. Accordingly, of the total consideration, (i) approximately $140,000 was allocated as a direct cost of the common stock issued in the private placement, (ii) (continued) F-15 GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS approximately $140,000 was allocated to the convertible debt issued in the private placement and such amount was capitalized as a deferred financing cost and (iii) approximately $300,000 was allocated to the Company's acquisition of Galacticomm and such amount was included in the Company's purchase price of Galacticomm. (9) 401(K) RETIREMENT PLAN The Company's subsidiary, Galacticomm, maintains a 401(k) retirement plan. All of Galacticomm's employees who have attained the age of 21 and completed one year of service are eligible. The plan allows vesting at 20 percent per year beginning in the second year of service. Participants can contribute up to 15 percent of their annual compensation and Galacticomm may make discretionary contributions. Galacticomm made no contributions during 1996. On April 1, 1997 and effective January 1, 1997, the 401(k) retirement plan was amended to allow eligibility for employees after having completed 6 months of service and vesting at 25 percent per year beginning in the first year of service. (10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (A) LEASES The Company leases its main administrative office and warehouse premises under a lease which expires on May 13, 1997. On July 21, 1997, the Company entered into a new lease agreement for such premises which runs through October 2001. The Company also leases office equipment under operating leases. The following summarizes future minimum obligations under non-cancelable operating leases: DECEMBER 31 ----------- 1997 $ 99,135 1998 101,198 1999 104,858 2000 109,010 2001 93,850 --------- $ 508,051 ========= Total rent expense under operating leases was $31,045 for the year ended December 31, 1996. (B) EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS On November 21, 1996, the Company entered into employment contracts through November 20, 1999 with two of its officers that include commitments for a base salary plus bonuses (at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors). The base salary commitment for each officer for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999 is approximately $175,000, $195,000 and $195,000, respectively. In addition, on June 30, 1997, each officer was granted stock options for 177,263 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.74 per share. One-third (Continued) F-16 GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS of the options vests on November 21, 1997 and an additional one-third vests each year thereafter. The options expire five years from the respective vesting dates and any non-vested options shall be forfeited upon termination of employment. On August 25, 1997 the Company entered into an employment contract through August 24, 1999 with its chief financial officer that includes a commitment for an annual base salary of $120,000 and the granting of 34,468 stock options with an exercise price of $6.50 under the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan (see note 12(d)). (C) CONSULTING AGREEMENT On November 20, 1996, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with a shareholder to perform consulting and advisory services with respect to the operations and finances of the Company. The consulting fee under this agreement is $10,000 per month until June 30, 2001. Other than the monthly fee, no material commitments exist under the Company's agreement with such consultant. On January 15, 1997 the Company entered into a second consulting agreement with such shareholder pursuant to which the Company engages the services of an employee of such shareholder to develop the Company's sales and marketing strategies. The fee under this agreement for the services of such employee is $7,000 per month and the agreement expires December 31, 1997. Under such consulting agreement, the Company also issued an option to such employee to acquire 2,462 shares of the Company's common stock at a per share price of $2.56. Such option is immediately exercisable and has a three year life. In addition, such employee has been granted options to purchase 7,386 shares of common stock under the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan at an exercise price of $6.50 per share. The fair value of such options are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. (D) PAYROLL TAXES During August 1997, the Company reached a settlement with the IRS relating to payroll taxes due for 1996 employee wages. The amount of such settlement was $89,000 and is reflected as an accrued expense at December 31, 1996. (E) OTHER In July 1997, the Company became aware of the existence of a third party which may claim a prior right in the trademark name "Worldgroup" (the name of a product of the Company). The Company and the third party are presently discussing a coexistence agreement whereby the Company would have the right, without payment of a royalty, to continue to use the trademark "Worldgroup" on its present products and services. Management believes that the Company will be able to come to such an agreement with the third party. In July 1997, the Company became aware that several other third parties filed applications for registration of "WebCast" (the name of a product of the Company), before the Company filed its application. If "WebCast" is not determined to be generic and one of the third party applications matures into registration, then such third party will have superior rights to the Company. If a third party has superior rights to any of (Continued) F-17 GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS the Company's trademarks and such third party decides to enforce its trademark rights through an infringement action, management believes that the Company has valid defenses with respect to any such action. The Company is subject to certain legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business which, in the opinion of management, based on the advice of its legal counsel, will not have a material effect on the financial position and results of operations of the Company. (11) VALUATION ACCOUNTS The following summarizes the changes in the Company's valuation accounts for the year ended December 31, 1996:
BALANCE AT BALANCE AT BEGINNING OF END OF DESCRIPTION PERIOD ADDITIONS DEDUCTIONS PERIOD ------------ --------- ---------- ---------- Allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns $ - 124,363 - 124,363 Inventory reserve $ - 18,191 - 18,191
(12) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (A) PLANNED PUBLIC OFFERING In April 1997, the Company signed a nonbinding letter of intent with an investment banking firm to underwrite, on a firm-commitment basis, an initial public offering of the Company's securities. Pursuant to the terms of the letter of intent, the Company in October 1997 completed a bridge loan financing of 42 bridge units, each of which consists of a $50,000 promissory note and a three year warrant to purchase 19,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $3.75 per share. The total principal amount of the promissory notes of $2,100,000 bears interest of 10 percent per year. Accrued interest is due semi-annually and the note will mature upon the earlier of January 4, 1999 or the completion of an initial public offering. After deducting fees and expenses paid to the investment banking firm of $273,000, and $135,000 for other expenses related to the bridge loan financing, net proceeds of the bridge financing were approximately $1,692,000. Additionally, in connection with the bridge financing, the Company issued 159,600 warrants to the investment banking firm with terms similar to the aforementioned bridge warrants. With a portion of the proceeds of the bridge loan, all amounts under the Company's line of credit were repaid. (B) SALE OF COMMON STOCK In June 1997, the Company sold an aggregate of 259,802 shares of its common stock at 3.74 per share. Net proceeds to the Company after deducting a $126,209 fee paid to a shareholder of the Company were $844,553. Of such net proceeds all cash was received by June 30, 1997, except for $174,158 which was received in July 1997. In connection with such sale of common stock, the Company issued, to a shareholder of the Company, a three year warrant to purchase 33,774 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $3.74 per share. The fair value of such warrants was immaterial to such sale of common stock. (Continued) F-18 GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (C) WARRANTS On March 14, 1997, two principal shareholders of the Company issued warrants for 615,496 shares of the Company's common stock to another shareholder of the Company at an exercise price of $3.25 per share. This warrant is automatically exercisable upon completion of an IPO. The Company recognized a related expense of $113,760 representing the fair value of the warrants issued. Additionally, on September 8, 1997, in consideration of the payment of $50,000, the Company permitted the common stock underlying such warrants to have certain registration rights. On October 17, 1997, the warrants were amended to extend the expiration date to March 31, 1998. As a result of this amendment, related incremental expense of approximately $30,000 was recognized as of October 17, 1997. (D) STOCK OPTION PLAN On September 4, 1997 the Company adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). Pursuant to the Plan, the Company's board of directors may grant incentive or non-qualified stock options to employees or service providers. Under the Plan, 370,000 shares of the Company's common stock are reserved for issuance and options granted shall vest 25 percent 180 days after issuance and then 50 percent, 75 percent and 100 percent over the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, respectively. The Plan has a ten year term and no options granted under the Plan shall have a life greater than ten years. In addition to the stock option grants under the Plan discussed in notes 10(b) and 10(c), during September 1997, the Company granted 122,483 options under the Plan to various employees with an exercise price of $6.50 per option. (13) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1997 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130"). SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130 requires all items to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income to be reported in a separate financial statement. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 130 will have a significant impact on the Company's financial reporting. In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 "DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION" ("SFAS No. 131"). SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires those enterprises to report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 131 will have a significant impact on the Company's financial reporting. (Continued) F-19 GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), EARNINGS PER SHARE. SFAS 128 specifies new standards designed to improve the earnings per share ("EPS") information provided in financial statements by simplifying the existing computational guidelines, revising the disclosure requirements and increasing the comparability of EPS data on an international basis. Some of the changes made to simplify the EPS computations include (i) eliminating the presentation of primary EPS and replacing it with basic EPS, (ii) eliminating the modified treasury stock method and the three percent materiality provision and (iii) revising the contingent share provisions and the supplemental EPS data requirements. SFAS 128 also makes a number of changes to existing disclosure requirements. SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 128 in 1997 will have a significant impact on the Company's reported EPS. F-20 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Board of Directors and Stockholders Galacticomm, Inc. Fort Lauderdale, Florida: We have audited the accompanying statements of operations and cash flows of Galacticomm, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the ten months ended October 31, 1996.

See accompanying notes to financial statements. F-23 GALACTICOMM, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1995 and October 31, 1996 (1) THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Galacticomm, Inc. (the "Company") develops and sells network-centric software applications and tools. The Company's primary product, Worldgroup, a client/server software, is a platform that merges Bulletin Board Systems, E-mail, and workgroup functions and enables enterprises to provide client/server applications over the Internet and intranets and secure external data exchanges with customers, field agents, suppliers, and others. Substantially all of the Company's revenue is derived from sales of the Worldgroup software product and related hardware, documentation and training manuals, and royalties. The Company operates in a highly competitive industry characterized by rapidly changing technology which could adversely affect the Company's revenues and the related results of operations. On November 21, 1996, 8,037,203 of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, representing a 96 percent ownership of the Company, were purchased by Galacticomm Technologies, Inc., (formerly Iview Software, Inc.) in exchange for $.094 in cash and .0644 shares of Galacticomm Technologies, Inc. for each share of the Company's common stock. The accompanying financial statements were prepared for inclusion in a registration statement of Galacticomm Technologies, Inc. The separate audited balance sheets of the Company are not presented at December 31, 1995 and October 31, 1996 as the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities has been included in the December 31, 1996 consolidated balance sheet of Galacticomm Technologies, Inc. (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (A) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable are principally from distributors and end-users of the Company's products. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and has recorded an allowance for potential credit losses and product returns of $85,680 and $110,428 at December 31, 1995 and October 31, 1996, respectively. The Company is subject to rapid changes in technology and shifts in consumer demand which could result in credit losses and product returns in excess of the Company's reserves. (B) INVENTORIES Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. The Company's inventories consist primarily of software media, manuals and related packaging materials and hardware and hardware components which are subject to rapid technological obsolescence or reduction in value as a result of new products developed by competitors or as a result of normal competitive pressures. The Company periodically estimates an allowance for obsolete inventory based on current market conditions. Changes in the marketplace may significantly affect management's estimates. F-24 (C) LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company presents its property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred; betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of assets, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the account and any gain or loss is recognized. The Company implemented the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF," effective January 1, 1996. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. The adoption of Statement No. 121 had no impact on the Company's results of operations. (D) REVENUE RECOGNITION Sales are recognized at the time the product is shipped, in accordance with the provisions of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 91-1, "Software Revenue Recognition". While the Company has no obligations to perform future services subsequent to shipment, the Company provides telephone customer support as an accommodation to purchasers of its products. Costs associated with this effort are not significant and are expensed as incurred. Sales to distributors are subject to agreements allowing limited rights of return and price protection. The Company provides reserves for estimated future returns, exchanges and price protection. The Company offers distributors co-op funds that are used to promote the Company's products. These funds are generally paid as a credit against outstanding invoices and are included in marketing expense during the period in which the revenue is recognized. The Company has various contracts which require the Company to provide consulting services, custom systems integration and training at specified contractual rates. Such contracts are short-term in nature. The Company records as deferred revenue, all payments received on each contract until the contract is completed. Deferred revenues are recorded for short-term contracts and customer subscriptions paid in advance. (E) ROYALTIES The Company licenses software used to develop components of Worldgroup. Royalties are payable to developers of the software at various rates and amounts, generally based on unit sales. Royalty expense was approximately $7,000 and $46,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the ten months ended October 31, 1996, respectively. Such costs are included as a component of cost of revenues in the accompanying statements of operations. F-25 GALACTICOMM, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (F) SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS The Company accounts for software development costs under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed" ("FAS 86"). Under FAS 86, the costs associated with software development are required to be capitalized after technological feasibility has been established. Costs incurred by the Company subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility have been insignificant and, as a result, the Company has not capitalized any research and development expenses. (G) INCOME TAXES Prior to the sale to Galacticomm Technologies, Inc. (see note 1) the Company was an S corporation for federal income tax purposes. As such, the income tax effects of the results of operations of the Company accrued directly to its stockholders. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not include a provision for income taxes. (H) USE OF ESTIMATES Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Significant estimates are primarily related to provisions for sales returns, bad debt and obsolete inventory. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. (3) INVESTMENT ACTIVITY The Company's short-term investments consisted of various call options which were indexed to interest rates on thirty-year U.S. treasury instruments and expired between January and December 1995. In December 1995, the final call option expired and had a zero fair value, resulting in the Company realizing an investment loss of $225,818 for the year ended December 31, 1995. The Company has no other short-term investments at December 31, 1995 or October 31, 1996. (4) LINE OF CREDIT The Company had a line of credit with a bank for $300,000 which bears interest at prime plus 1 percent and is collateralized by the Company's accounts receivable, inventory and property and equipment. This line of credit expired January 9, 1997. As of October 31, 1996, the Company had borrowed $298,575 under the line of credit agreement. F-26 GALACTICOMM, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (5) INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN The Company has reserved 3,000,000 shares of its common stock for issuance under its 1987 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, options may be granted to purchase common stock at exercise prices not less than fair market value at the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors. During August 1996, the Board of Directors approved the conversion of all stock options outstanding, on a one-for-one basis, into phantom units under the Company's phantom stock plan, and changed the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan to 500,000. All options expire on the date specified in the option agreement and in no event later than the tenth anniversary of the date on which the option was granted. A summary of incentive stock option activity is as follows:
NUMBER OF EXERCISE OPTIONS PRICE ---------- ------------ Options outstanding, December 31, 1994 1,220,050 $ .30 - 2.85 Options granted 50,000 3.18 Options canceled (65,000) 1.46 - 3.18 Options exercised (283,765) 1.23 - 1.85 ---------- Options outstanding, December 31, 1995 921,285 .30-3.18 Converted to phantom units (921,285) .30-3.18 ---------- ----------- Options outstanding, October 31, 1996 - $ - ========== ===========
On November 21, 1996 the Plan was canceled. In 1994, the Company exchanged 83,620 shares of common stock for $122,492 in promissory notes issued by two directors. Also in 1994, a director of the Company exercised 187,760 options and issued a promissory note of $56,328 as consideration thereof. The promissory notes referred to above bear interest at rates ranging from 4.00 -5.86 percent and mature in September 1996 through January 1997 and are collateralized by common stock of the Company held by the two directors. During 1996, such notes were repaid with 563,536 shares of the Company's common stock. The non-cash option transactions described above have been excluded from the accompanying statements of cash flows. F-27 GALACTICOMM, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS During 1995, a former employee of the Company exercised 279,000 options to acquire shares of common stock. The exercise price for the first 1,864 options exercised was funded by an exchange of 1,000 shares of common stock held by the former employee. Such common shares exchanged had been held by the former employee greater than six months. Subsequent to the initial exercise, the former employee immediately used the shares of common stock acquired under option to satisfy the exercise price for additional shares under the same option (the "Pyramiding Exercise"), until the former employee's remaining 277,136 options were exercised. The shares of common stock used in the Pyramiding Exercise were considered "immature" as they were held less than six months by the former employee. Accordingly, the Company recognized $443,242 in compensation expense in 1995. (6) PHANTOM STOCK PLAN In July 1994, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Galacticomm, Inc. Phantom Stock Plan. The purpose of the plan is to provide equity-based compensation to certain employees and directors through the awarding of rights or "units" associated with the common stock of the Company. These units entitle the holder to receive bonus compensation and an election may be made by the holder to receive the common stock of the Company based on the occurrence of certain events. A summary of the Phantom Stock Plan's activity is as follows: Units outstanding, December 31, 1994 98,296 Units granted 89,675 Units canceled (15,361) --------- Units outstanding, December 31, 1995 172,590 Units granted 4,009,947 Units canceled (64,729) Units converted to common stock (3,625,429) --------- Units outstanding, October 31, 1996 492,379 ========= During August 1996, the Board of Directors approved the increase of phantom units that may be issued under the Phantom Stock Plan to 4,500,000. As a result of the purchase by Galacticomm Technologies, Inc. (see note 1) of 8,037,203 of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, certain provisions in the Phantom Stock Plan were met and triggered the conversion into common stock feature of all currently outstanding phantom units. As such, all phantom unit holders at October 31, 1996 had the option to convert each phantom unit held into a common share of the Company. Accordingly, $529,139 of compensation expense was recorded, representing the fair value of the Company's common stock underlying all phantom units outstanding on October 31, 1996. On November 21, 1996 the Phantom Stock Plan was canceled. F-28 GALACTICOMM, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (7) LEASE TERMINATION On June 8, 1996, the Company entered into a third amendment to a certain 10-year office space lease agreement, under which the Company stipulated that the Company did not desire to take occupancy of the subject property. As of October 31, 1996 the Company has recorded a lease termination expense of $380,040 representing lost security deposits and future lease payments. (8) COMMITMENTS The Company leases its main office and warehouse premises under an operating lease which expires on May 13, 1997. The Company also leases office equipment under operating leases. The following summarizes future minimum leases under non-cancelable operating leases as of October 31, 1996: 1997 $ 76,192 1998 4,531 ------- $ 80,723 ======= Rent expense under operating leases for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the ten months ended October 31, 1996 amounted to $78,857 and $96,671, respectively. The Company also leases certain computer equipment under capital leases. The annual maturities of these capital lease obligations are as follows: OCTOBER 31, ----------- 1997 $ 33,092 1998 23,361 1999 5,488 ------- $ 61,941 ======= F-29 GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

ALT.3 PART II INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 607.0850(1) of the Florida Business Corporation Act, the Company has the power to indemnify any person who is or was a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of, the Company), because such person is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company under specified capacities) against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company (and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful). With respect to a proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, Section 607.085(2) of the Florida Business Corporation Act provides that the Company shall have the power to indemnify any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company under specified capacities) against expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, the estimated expense of litigating the proceeding to conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company, except that no indemnification shall be made in a case in which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the court in which the proceeding was brought, shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses. Indemnification as described above shall only be granted in a specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper under the circumstances using the applicable standard of conduct which is made by (a) a majority of a quorum of directors who were not parties to such proceeding, (b) if such a quorum is not attainable or by majority vote of a committee designated by the Board of Directors consisting of two or more directors not parties to the proceeding, (c) by independent legal counsel selected by the Board of Directors described in the foregoing parts (a) and (b), or if a quorum cannot be obtained, then selected by a majority vote of the full Board of Directors, or (d) by the shareholders by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of shareholders who are not parties to such proceeding. Section 607.0850(12) of the Florida Business Corporation Act permits the Company to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company in specified capacities) against any liability asserted against such person or incurred by such person in any such capacity whether or not the Company has the power to indemnify such person against such liability. ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION The Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the "Articles") provide for the indemnification of directors and officers of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act. The Articles of Incorporation further provide that the indemnification provided for therein shall not be exclusive of any rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Articles also contain a provision that eliminates the personal liability of the Company's directors for monetary damages unless the director has breached his or her fiduciary duty and such breach constitutes or includes certain violations of criminal law, a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, certain unlawful distributions or certain other reckless, wanton or wilful acts or misconduct. This provision does not alter a director's liability under the federal securities laws. In addition, this provisions does not affect the availability of equitable remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, for breach of fiduciary duty. II-1 SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION POLICY Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

(a) The undersigned small business issuer hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser. (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer of controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. (c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that: (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of Prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of Prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective. (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of Prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (d) The undersigned small business issuer hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: II-6 (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a(3) of the Securities Act; (ii) To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; and notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of Prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement. (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

Such over-allotment option shall not be exercised more than on one occasion. c. UNDERWRITER'S PURCHASE OPTION. On the Closing Date (as defined herein) for the Firm Securities, the Company shall further issue and sell to [First Equity, individually and not as a Representative,] or, at its direction, to its bona fide officers and directors and/or employees, an option (the "Underwriter's Purchase Option") pursuant to the Purchase Option Agreement to purchase [ ____________ ] Units (such Units, the "Underwriter's Units", the Shares and Warrants underlying the Underwriter's Units, the "Underwriter's Shares" and the "Underwriter's Warrants", respectively) for an aggregate purchase price of $75.00.

The Underwriter's Purchase Option and the Purchase Option Securities shall be transferable after one year from the effective date of the Registration Statement pursuant to available exemptions from registration (if not otherwise covered by an effective registration statement) under the Securities Act, provided, however, that the Underwriter's Purchase Option may not be transferred to a direct competitor of the Company without the Company's prior written consent. Except as otherwise set forth in the Purchase Option Agreement, you may designate that the Underwriter's Purchase Option be issued in varying amounts directly to your officers or partners and not the Underwriters, and to other underwriters, if any, and their designees. Such designation will be made by you only if you determine that such issuances would not violate the interpretation of the Board of Governors of the NASD relating to the review of corporate financing arrangements.

The Company will advise you promptly and confirm that advice in writing (i) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement shall have become effective, (ii) of the mailing or the delivery to the Commission for filing of any -4- amendment or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, (iii) of any request by the Commission for amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or for additional information, immediately supplying you with copies of all comment letters and all other correspondence with the Commission, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the suspension of the qualification of the Securities or Warrant Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, (v) of the issuance by any state securities commission or other regulatory authority of any order suspending the qualification or the exemption from qualification of the Securities or Warrant Shares under state securities or Blue Sky laws or the initiation or threat of any proceedings for that purpose and (vi) of the happening of any event during the period mentioned in Section 5.d hereof that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading in any material respect. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or suspension order and to obtain the withdrawal of any such stop order or suspension order at the earliest possible moment. c.

The Company shall be responsible for the cost of state registration filing fees and legal fees and expenses of Underwriter's counsel in connection with such filings, which filing fees shall be paid to Underwriter's counsel in advance of such filings. The Underwriter's counsel's legal fees with respect to blue sky filing shall be $2,000 for each state in which application for registration or qualification is made, up to an aggregate of $25,000 for all states combined. All outstanding fees and expenses of the Underwriter's counsel solely with respect to Blue Sky matters shall be paid by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date. f. STANDARD AND POOR'S.

The Representatives shall either approve or disapprove, in writing of such contemplated stock redemption or dividend or distribution within five (5) business days after the date the Representatives receive written notice of the proposed action.

This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. -25- b. BY UNDERWRITERS. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of the officers of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and reasonable expenses whatsoever (including but not limited to attorneys' fees and any and all reasonable expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, or any related preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or in any Blue Sky Application, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by you expressly for use therein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no case shall you be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions received by you, as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus. You agree to pay any legal or other expenses for which you are liable under this subsection (b) from time to time (but not more frequently than monthly) within 30 days after receipt of a bill therefor. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which you may otherwise have. c. PROCEDURES IN CASE OF INDEMNIFICATION. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental investigation), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure or from any liability which it may have otherwise). In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and the payment of all expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably -26- concluded and have been so advised in a written opinion from counsel that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties. Anything in this subsection to the contrary notwithstanding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such consent was not unreasonably withheld. d. CONTRIBUTION. In order to provide for contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 7.a and b hereof is for any reason held to be unavailable from the Company, or you, or is insufficient to hold harmless a party indemnified thereunder, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, the Company, and you shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnification provisions (including any investigation, legal and other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted, but after deducting in the case of losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable expenses suffered by the Company or you any contribution received by the Company or you from persons who may also be liable for contribution, including persons who control the Company or you within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, officers of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and directors of the Company) to which the Company or you may be subject, in such proportions as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and by you from the offering of the Securities or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law or indemnification is not available as a result of the indemnifying party not having received notice as provided in Section 7.d hereof in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the Company and you in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and by you shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to (b) the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by you in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company and of you 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 Company or by you or any agent expressly authorized by you to supply such information and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and you agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.d were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.d, (i) in no case shall you be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount applicable to the Securities purchased hereunder and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any -27- person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7.d, each person, if any, who controls an underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as you, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 7.d. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this Section 7.d, notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under Section 7.d or otherwise. No party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its consent; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such consent was not unreasonably withheld. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (A) any investigation made by or on behalf of you or any person controlling you or by or on behalf of the Company, (B) acceptance of any of the Securities and payment therefore or (C) any termination of this Agreement. A successor to the Company, its directors or officers or any person controlling the Company or to the Underwriter, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution, and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 7. 8.

SECTION 1.03 Upon the written order of the Company, signed by the President, the Chief Executive Officer or any Vice President, and the Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant Secretary or Assistant Treasurer of the Company, the Warrant Agent shall issue and register Warrants in the names and denominations specified in that order, and will countersign and deliver Warrant Certificates evidencing the same in accordance with that order. Each Warrant Certificate shall be dated the date of its countersignature. Each Warrant Certificate shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of the President or any Vice President of the Company, under its corporate seal, affixed or facsimile, attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the Secretary of the Company and shall be countersigned manually by the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Certificates shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. In case any officer whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant Certificate shall have ceased to be such before such Warrant Certificate is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if such officer had not ceased to be such on the date of issuance. SECTION 1.04 Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, all terms used in the Warrant Certificate have the meanings provided in this Agreement. SECTION 1.05 As used herein, the term "Common Stock" shall mean the aggregate number of shares of common stock that the Company, by its Articles of Incorporation, as from time to time amended, is authorized to issue, which are not limited by its Articles of Incorporation to a fixed sum or percentage of the book value in respect of the rights of the holders thereof to participate -2- in dividends or in distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up the Company. SECTION 1.06 The Warrant Agent understands and agrees that the Shares and the Public Warrants are being issued in the IPO as a Unit and will be detachable and separately transferable on the First Exercise Date. ARTICLE II WARRANT PRICE, DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS, CALL OF WARRANTS AND TRADING OF WARRANTS SECTION 2.01 (a) Two (2) Warrants shall entitle the person in whose name at the time the Warrant shall be registered upon the books to be maintained by the Warrant Agent for that purpose (the "Warrant Holder"), subject to the provisions of the Warrant Certificates and of this Agreement, to purchase from the Company any time on or after the First Exercise Date but at or before the Last Exercise Date, one (1) share of Common Stock, as adjusted, at the Warrant Price in effect at such date, payable in full at the time of purchase in the manner provided in Section 2.02 of this Agreement. (b) Each Warrant shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms herein and in the Warrant Certificate which, among other things, contains certain terms as to the Warrant Price. SECTION 2.02 (a) The Warrant Holder may exercise Warrants in denominations of two or whole number multiples thereof, by surrender of the Warrant Certificate, with the form of subscription thereon duly executed by the Warrant Agent at its corporate office, together with the Warrant Price for each share of Common Stock to be purchased in lawful money of the United States, or by certified check, bank draft, or postal or express money order payable in United States Dollars to the order of the Company. If Warrants in denominations other than two or whole number multiples thereof shall be exercised at one time by the same Warrant Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon exercise thereof, shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise. (b) Upon receipt of a Warrant Certificate with the form of election to purchase thereon duly executed and accompanied by payment of the aggregate Warrant Price for the shares of Common Stock for which Warrants are then being exercised, the Warrant Agent shall requisition from the transfer agent certificates for the total number of the shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants are being exercised in such names and denominations as are required for delivery to the Warrant Holder, and the Warrant Agent shall thereupon deliver such certificates to or in -3- accordance with the instructions of the Warrant Holder. The Company covenants and agrees that it has duly authorized and directed its transfer agent (and will authorize and direct all its future transfer agents) to comply with all such requests of the Warrant Agent. (c) In case any Warrant Holder shall exercise this Warrant with respect to less than all of the shares of Common Stock that may be purchased under the Warrant, a new Warrant Certificate for the balance shall be countersigned and delivered to or upon the order of the Warrant Holder. (d) The Company covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all taxes which may be payable in respect to the issuance of Warrants, or the issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants. However, neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be required to issue or deliver any Warrant Certificate or shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Warrant Holder at the time of surrender if any tax is payable in respect of such transfer until the person requesting the same has paid to the Company the amount of such tax or has established to the Company's satisfaction that such tax has been paid or shall not be due and payable. In the event that any transfer tax is due and payable, the Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to issue or deliver any Warrant Certificate or shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Warrant Holder until the Company has notified the Warrant Agent that the transfer tax, if any, has been paid, or in the alternative, that no transfer tax is due and payable by reason of an exemption. (e) The Warrant Agent shall account promptly to the Company with respect to two or more Warrants exercised and concurrently account to the Company for all moneys received by the Warrant Agent for the purchase of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants. (f) The Warrant Agent covenants and agrees that upon the exercise of any of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall provide written notice to the Company and to the Underwriter at the addresses set forth in Section 6.09 hereof, the expense of which notice shall be borne by the Company. Each notice shall contain the name of the exercising Warrant Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Warrant Holder has elected to purchase, the purchase price paid on a per share basis and the cumulative number of Warrants exercised by all of the Warrant Holders as of the date of the transaction which is the subject of the aforesaid notice. Such notice shall be made no later than two (2) business days following the date of the exercise of the Warrant. Nothing contained herein shall be construed so as to prevent the Warrant Agent from providing the information required in this Section 2.02 (f) in a consolidated or tabular form, provided that all other provisions of this Section are complied with. (g) The Warrant Agent covenants and agrees that it shall provide a list of each and every holder of the Warrants to the Company and the Underwriter at such time or from time to time as shall be required by the Company or the Underwriter, but in no event shall such a list be provided less frequently than once per annum at a date as shall be determined by the Company. -4- SECTION 2.03 (a) Commencing thirty (30) days after the First Exercise Date, the Company may, subject to the conditions set forth herein, redeem all, but not less than all, the Warrants then outstanding upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice (the "Redemption Notice") to the holders thereof provided that the average closing price of the Common Stock for the 20 consecutive trading days ending three (3) trading days prior to the date of the Redemption Notice is at least 150% (currently, $________) of the then effective exercise price of the Warrants, subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits and other anti-dilution provisions as provided for under Article III herein. For purposes of this Section 2.03, "closing price" at any date shall be deemed to be: (i) the last sale price regular way as reported on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading, or (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices regular way for the Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq Small Cap Market of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ") or (iii) if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted for trading on any national securities exchange, and is not reported by NASDAQ, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market as furnished by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. or if no such quotation is available, the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Redemption Notice shall be deemed effective upon mailing and the time of mailing is the "Effective Date of the Notice". The Redemption Notice shall state a redemption date not less than thirty (30) days from the Effective Date of the Notice (the "Redemption Date") . No Redemption Notice shall be mailed unless all funds necessary to pay for redemption of all Warrants then outstanding shall have first been set aside by the Company in trust with the Warrant Agent for the benefit of all Warrant Holders so as to be and continue to be available therefor. The redemption price to be paid to the Warrant Holders will be $.05 (or fraction thereof) for each share (or fraction thereof) of the Common Stock of the Company to which the Warrant Holder would then be entitled upon exercise of the Warrant(s) being redeemed, as adjusted from time to time as provided herein (the "Redemption Price"). In the event the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant being redeemed are adjusted pursuant to Article III hereof, then upon each such adjustment the Redemption Price will be adjusted by multiplying the Redemption Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant being redeemed immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrant being redeemed immediately after such adjustment. The Warrants may only be redeemed if the Company has in effect a current Registration Statement or post-effective amendment covering the shares underlying the Warrants. The Warrant Holders may exercise their Warrants between the Effective Date of the Notice and the Redemption Date, such exercise being effective if done in accordance with Section 2.02 (a), and if the Warrant Certificate, with form of election to purchase duly executed and the Warrant Price, as applicable for such Warrant subject to redemption for each share of Common Stock to be purchased is actually received by the Warrant Agent at its office located at 2 Broadway, New York, New York 10004, no later than 5:00 P.M. Miami, Florida time on the Redemption Date. -5- (b) If any Warrant Holder does not wish to exercise any Warrant being redeemed, the Warrant Holder should mail such Warrant to the Warrant Agent at its office located at 2 Broadway, 19th Floor, New York, New York 10004, after receiving the Redemption Notice required by this Section. If such Redemption Notice shall have been so mailed, and if on or before the Effective Date of the Notice all funds necessary to pay for redemption of all Warrants then outstanding shall have been set aside by the Company in trust with the Warrant Agent for the benefit of all Warrant Holders so as to be and continue to be available therefor, then, on and after said Redemption Date, notwithstanding that any Warrant subject to redemption shall not have been surrendered for redemption, the obligation evidenced by all Warrants not surrendered for redemption or effectively exercised shall be deemed no longer outstanding, and all rights with respect thereto shall forthwith cease and terminate, except only the right of the holder of each Warrant subject to redemption to receive the Redemption Price (or fraction thereof) for each share of Common Stock (or fraction thereof) to which he would be entitled if he exercised the Warrant upon receiving the Redemption Notice of the Warrant subject to redemption held by the Holder hereof. (c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article II, the Underwriter's Warrants shall not be eligible for redemption by the Company. ARTICLE III ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK PURCHASABLE AND OF WARRANT PRICE SECTION 3.01 In case the Company shall at any time after the date of this Agreement (i) declare a dividend on the outstanding Common Stock in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock by reclassification of the Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then, in each case, the Warrant Price, and the number and kind of shares of Common Stock receivable upon exercise, in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination, or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any Warrant exercised after such time shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares which if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such time, he would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination, or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur. SECTION 3.02 In case the Company after the date hereof shall issue rights, options, or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share, if a security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) less than the "current market price" (as defined in Section 3.04 hereof) per share of Common -6- Stock on the record date established for the issuance of such rights, options or warrants, then, in such case, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect on the record date of such issuance by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date for such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so to be issued (or the aggregate initial conversion price of the convertible securities to be issued or sold) would purchase at such "current market price" and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date for such issuance plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock to be issued (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities to be issued or sold are initially convertible or exchangeable). Such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on such record date; provided, however, that, to the extent the shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible to or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) are not delivered, the Warrant Price shall be readjusted after the expiration of such rights, options, or warrants (but only with respect to Warrants exercised after such expiration), to the Warrant Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock actually issued. In case any subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Shares of Common Stock owned by or held for the account of the Company or any majority-owned subsidiary shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment in the Warrant Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be made upon (i) the issuance of options (or upon exercise thereof) by the Company pursuant to its Stock Option Plans, (ii) the issuance of the Underwriter's Warrants, or (iii) any other options and warrants outstanding as of the date hereof. SECTION 3.03 In case the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made to the shareholders of the Company in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (other than cash dividends distributions and dividends payable in shares of Common Stock), subscription rights, options, or warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (excluding those referred to in Section 3.02 hereof), then, in each case, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the "current market price" per share of Common Stock on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so to be distributed, or of such subscription rights, options, or warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, applicable to the share, and of which -7- the denominator shall be such "current market price" per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective on the date of such distribution retroactive to the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. SECTION 3.04 For the purpose of any computation under sections 3.02 and 3.03 hereof, the "current market price" per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for the 20 consecutive trading days ending three (3) days prior to such date. The closing price for each day shall be the last reported sales price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the closing bid price regular way, in either case on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the highest reported bid price as furnished by NASDAQ. If on any such date the Common Stock is not quoted on NASDAQ or any such organization, the closing price shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market as reported by the National Quotation Bureau or if no such quotation is available, the fair value of the Common Stock on such date, as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. SECTION 3.05 No adjustment in the Warrant Price shall be required if such adjustment is less than $.05; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 3.05 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article III shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-thousandth of a share, as the case may be. SECTION 3.06 In any case in which this Article III shall require that an adjustment in the Warrant Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the holder of any Warrant exercised after such record date, the shares, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the shares, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Warrant Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder's right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment. SECTION 3.07 Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price as a result of the calculations made in Section 3.01, 3.02, or 3.03 hereof, each Warrant outstanding prior to the making of the adjustment in the Warrant Price shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Warrant Price, that number of shares (calculated to the nearest thousandth) obtained by dividing (A) the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant prior to adjustment of the number of shares by the Warrant Price in effect prior to adjustment of the Warrant Price by (B) the Warrant Price in effect after such adjustment of the Warrant Price. -8- SECTION 3.08 In case of any capital reorganization of the Company, or of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a reclassification of the Common Stock referred to in Section 3.01 hereof), or in the case of the consolidation of the Company with or the merger of the Company into any other corporation or of the sale, transfer, or lease of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation or other entity, each Warrant shall after such capital reorganization, reclassification of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, or lease, be exercisable, on the same terms and conditions specified in this Agreement, for the number of shares of stock or other securities, assets, or cash to which a holder of the number of shares purchasable (at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, or lease) upon exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled upon such capital reorganization, reclassification of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, or lease; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth in this Article III with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Warrants shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares of stock, other securities, assets, or cash thereafter deliverable on the exercise of the Warrants. The subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares shall not be deemed to be a reclassification of the Common Stock for the purposes of this subsection. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, transfer, or lease, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the Corporation purchasing, receiving, or leasing such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall expressly assume, by written instrument in form satisfactory to the Underwriter, the obligation to deliver to the holder of each Warrant such shares of stock, securities, or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders may be entitled to purchase and to perform the other obligations of the Company under this Agreement. SECTION 3.09 The Company may make such reductions in the Warrant Price, in addition to those required by this Article III, as it shall, in it sole discretion, determine to be advisable. ARTICLE IV OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF WARRANT HOLDERS SECTION 4.01 No Warrant Holder, as such, shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of Common Stock for any purposes, nor shall anything contained in any Warrant Certificate be construed to confer upon any Warrant Holder, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any action by the Company, whether upon any recapitalization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, until in connection with the exercise of any Warrant, such Warrant shall have been surrendered and the purchase price or the shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant is being -9- exercised shall have been received by the Warrant Agent; provided, however, that any such surrender and payment on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall constitute the person or persons in whose name or names the certificate or certificates for those shares of Common Stock are to be issued as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the opening of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open and the Warrant surrendered shall not be deemed to have been exercised, in whole or in part, as the case maybe, until such next succeeding day on which stock transfer books are open. SECTION 4.02 The Company covenants and agrees that it shall contemporaneously provide to all Warrant Holders of record any publication, mailing or notice of an event which it shall provide to all of its shareholders of record and which event shall result in the adjustment to the Warrant Price as provided in Article III hereof. For purposes of this Section 4.02, the Warrant Holders of record shall be those Warrant Holders who are of record on a date even with the date chosen by the Company for the purpose of determining the shareholders of record who shall be entitled to receive such publication, mailing or notice. SECTION 4.03 If any Warrant Certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant Agent may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion reasonably impose, which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant Certificate, include the surrender thereof, issue a new Warrant Certificate of like denomination and tenor as, and in substitution for, the Warrant Certificate so lost, stolen mutilated or destroyed. SECTION 4.04 (a) The Company covenants and agrees that at all times it shall reserve and keep available for the exercise of outstanding Warrants such number of authorized shares of Common Stock and the aggregate number and kind of any other securities which the Warrants are exercisable for, pursuant to the provisions of Article III hereof, as are sufficient to permit the exercise in full of such Warrants and that it will make available to the Warrant Agent from time to time a number of duly executed certificates representing shares of Common Stock and other securities, sufficient therefor. (b) The Company shall use its best efforts to secure the listing, upon official notice of issuance, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants upon any securities exchange upon which the Common Stock becomes listed. (c) The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued on exercise of Warrants shall be validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive rights. (d) The Company has filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (Registration No. 333-_____) for the registration of, among other things, the sale of the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The Company shall use its best efforts to secure the effectiveness of the Registration -10- Statement under the Act, and to register or qualify such Warrants and shares of Common Stock under the laws of any states in which the sale of the Warrants and shares of Common Stock was registered or qualified at the time of the IPO and shall use its reasonable good faith efforts to register and qualify such Warrants and shares of Common Stock in such additional states and jurisdictions as the holders of such Warrants shall reasonably request, provided that no such qualification will be required in any jurisdiction where, solely as a result thereof, the Company would be subject to (i) general service of process or to taxation or qualification as a foreign corporation doing business in such jurisdiction or (ii) qualification requirements which would require the Company to (A) amend its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or (B) rescind, modify or amend any action taken by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with their fiduciary obligations to the Company and its shareholders; provided, however, that the Company will make a good faith effort to obtain a waiver of any such requirement. The Company further agrees to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and such state qualifications, as aforesaid, by the filing of any and all amendments to the Registration Statement and such state qualifications as may be required from time to time under the Act or the laws of the various states until the expiration or termination of all the Warrants in accordance herewith. (e) The Company will furnish to the Warrant Agent, upon request, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Warrant Agent to the effect that (i) a Registration Statement under the Act is then in effect with respect to the Warrants and shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants and that the prospectus included therein complies as to form in all material respects, (except as to financial statements, including schedules, and other accounting and financial data, as to which such counsel need express no opinion), with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; or a Registration Statement under the Act with respect to said shares of Common Stock is not required. In the event that said opinion states that such a Registration Statement is in effect, the Company will from time to time furnish the Warrant Agent with current prospectuses meeting the requirements of the Act and such rules and regulations in sufficient quantity to permit the Warrant Agent to deliver a prospectus ("Prospectus") to each Warrant Holder upon exercise thereof. The Company further agrees to pay all fees, costs and expenses in connection with the preparation and delivery to the Warrant Agent of the foregoing opinions and Prospectuses and the above mentioned registrations and other actions, and to immediately notify the Warrant Agent in the event that (i) the Commission shall have issued or threatened to issue any order preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus; (ii) at any time any Prospectus shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (iii) for any reason it shall be necessary to amend or supplement any Prospectus in order to comply with the Act. SECTION 4.05 Whether or not the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, the Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares upon exercise of the Warrants or to distribute share certificates which evidence fractional shares. In lieu of fractional shares, the Company, in its sole discretion, may pay to the registered holders of Warrant Certificates at the time such Warrants are exercised as herein -11- provided an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value of a share. For purposes of this Section 4.05, the current market value of a share issuable upon the exercise of a Warrant shall be the closing price of a share of Common Stock, as determined pursuant to the second and third sentences of Section 3.04, for the trading day immediately prior to the date of such exercise. SECTION 4.06 The holder of a Warrant by the acceptance thereof expressly waives his right to receive any fractional warrant or any fractional Shares upon exercise of a Warrant. ARTICLE V TREATMENT OF WARRANT HOLDERS SECTION 5.01 Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Warrant Holder as the absolute owner of such warrant, notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon, for the purpose of any exercise thereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. ARTICLE VI CONCERNING THE WARRANT AGENT AND OTHER MATTERS SECTION 6.01 The Company will from time to time promptly pay, subject to the provisions of Section 2.02 (d) of this Agreement, all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Warrant Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants. SECTION 6.02 (a) The Warrant Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement upon sixty (60) days notice in writing, mailed to the Company by registered or certified mail, and to each Warrant Holder. The Company may remove the Warrant Agent or any successor warrant agent upon sixty (60) days notice in writing, mailed to the Warrant Agent or successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be, by registered or certified mail, and to each Warrant Holder; provided, however, the Company shall appoint a new Warrant Agent as hereinafter provided and such removal shall not become effective until a successor Warrant Agent has been appointed and has accepted such appointment. If the Warrant Agent shall resign or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of sixty (60) days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapability by the Warrant Agent by a Warrant Holder, who shall, with such notice, submit his Warrant Certificate for inspection by the Company, then any Warrant Holder may -12- apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court shall be a registered transfer agent, bank or trust company, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.02, in good standing and incorporated under the laws of any State of the United States, having its principal office in the United States of America. After appointment, the successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Warrant Agent without further act or deed. The former Warrant Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor Warrant Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of the successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be. (b) Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Warrant Agent, shall be the successor to the Warrant Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case at the time such successor to the Warrant Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Agreement, any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor to the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature of the original Warrant Agent and deliver such Warrant Certificates so countersigned, and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor to the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificate in its own name or in the name of the successor Warrant Agent; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Warrant Certificates and this Agreement. In case at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature under this prior name and deliver Warrant Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement. SECTION 6.03 The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent a reasonable fee for all services rendered by it hereunder. The Company also agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense, incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Warrant Agent, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance and administration of this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability in the premises. -13- SECTION 6.04 The Company covenants and agrees that it shall, at the Company's expense, provide to the Warrant Agent copies of its current prospectus, if any, in such quantity as to enable the Warrant Agent to deliver one copy of such current prospectus to such Warrant Holder who shall exercise his rights under a Warrant. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Section 6.04, the Company shall not be obligated to provide copies of its current prospectus for the purpose of allowing the Warrant Agent to deliver such copies to any Warrant Holder who delivers all of his redeemable warrants for redemption pursuant to Section 2.03 or who shall notice the Company of his intent to permit redemption of all of his Warrants pursuant to Section 2.03 herein or to any person who shall hold any Warrant subject to the terms of this Agreement after the earlier of the Redemption Date or the Last Exercise Date of the Warrants.

The term "Holder" as used herein shall include any transferee to whom this Option has been transferred in accordance with the above. As used herein the term "this Option" shall mean and include this Option and any option or options hereafter issued as a consequence of the exercise or transfer of this Option in whole or part. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter's Warrants are referred to as the "Warrant Shares". Each Underwriter's Warrant shall be identical in all respects to the Warrants (the "Public Warrants"), issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated ___________, 1997 (the "Warrant Agreement"), between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Co., as Warrant Agent; provided, however, the Underwriter's Warrants shall not be subject to redemption by the Company under any circumstances. 1. TERM OF EXERCISE. (a) This Option may be exercised during the Exercise Period as to the whole or any lesser number of Shares and Underwriter's Warrants, by the surrender of this Option (with the election at the end hereof duly executed) to the Company at its offices at 4101 S.W. 47th Avenue, Suite 101, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33314 or such other place as is designated in writing by the Company, together with a certified or official bank check in New York Clearing House Funds payable to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price (per Unit) multiplied by the number of Units for which this Option is being exercised. (b) For purposes of this Option, the term "Current Market Price" at any date shall be deemed to be: (i) the average of the daily closing prices of the Common Stock or the Public Warrants, as the case may be, for the 20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding such date in reported sales price, or (ii) in case no such reported sale takes place on such date, the last sales price regular way in either case as reported on the principal national securities exchange on which the Units, Common Stock or the Public Warrants, as the case may be, is listed or admitted to trading, or (iii) if the Units, Common Stock or the Public Warrants, as the case may be, is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices regular way for the Common Stock or the Public Warrants, as the case may be, on the Nasdaq National Market System or Nasdaq SmallCap Market of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (together referred to as "Nasdaq") or (iv) if the Units, Common Stock or the Public Warrants, as the case may be, is not listed or admitted for trading on any national securities exchange and is not reported on NASDAQ or any similar organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market as furnished by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. or if no such quotation is available, the fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. 2. DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES TO REGISTERED HOLDER. Upon each exercise of this Option, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Shares and Underwriter's Warrants underlying the Units issuable upon such exercise notwithstanding that the transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or certificates representing such Shares or Underwriter's Warrants shall not then have been actually delivered to the Holder. As soon as practicable after each such exercise of this Option, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the Shares and a certificate or certificates for the Underwriter's Warrants registered in the name of the Holder or its designee. If this option should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Option for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Option evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the balance of the Units (or portions thereof) subject to purchase hereunder. 3. OPTION REGISTER. Any Option issued upon the transfer or exercise in part of this Option shall be numbered and shall be registered in an Option Register as they are issued. The -2- Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any Option on the Option Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Option on the part of any other person, and shall not be liable for any registration or transfer of Options which are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration or participation therein amounts to bad faith. The Options shall be transferable only on the books of the Company upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the Holder or by its duly authorized attorney or representative, or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer in all cases of transfer by an attorney, executor, administrator, guardian, or other legal representative, duly authenticated evidence his or its authority shall be produced. Upon any registration of transfer, the Company shall deliver a new option or options to the holder thereof, for another Option, or other options of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of Units upon surrender to the Company or its duly authorized agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to cause this Option to be transferred on its books to any person if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such transfer does not comply with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and the rules and regulations thereunder. 4. RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of this Option and the Underwriter's Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall, from time to time, be sufficient therefor. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Option and the Underwriter's Warrants when paid for in accordance with the respective terms thereof, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable by the Company. 5. ANTI-DILUTION; ADJUSTMENTS TO EXERCISE PRICE. (a) Upon the occurrence of any event (an "Event") as a result of which an adjustment is made to the exercise price (the "Public Exercise Price") of any of the Public Warrants, the number of Shares issuable thereafter upon exercise of this Option shall be adjusted to equal the number of Shares issuable prior to such Event multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Public Exercise Price in effect prior to such Event and the denominator of which shall be the Public Exercise Price subsequent to such Event. (b) Upon each adjustment of the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option pursuant to subparagraph 5(a) above, this Option shall thereupon evidence the right to purchase such number of Shares at the Exercise Price per Share obtained by (1) multiplying the Exercise Price per share in effect immediately prior to the triggering Event by the number of shares then purchasable upon exercise of this Option and (2) dividing the product so obtained by the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Option subsequent to the triggering Event. -3- (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Option, any adjustment of the exercise price, and/or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Underwriter's Warrants shall be determined solely by the antidilution and other adjustment provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement (which provisions are incorporated herein by reference) as if such Underwriter's Warrants were and had been outstanding on and from ______________, 1997. (d) Whenever there shall be an adjustment as provided in this paragraph 5, the Company shall promptly cause written notice thereof to be sent by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder, at its principal office, which notice shall be accompanied by an officer's certificate setting forth the number and Exercise Price per Share and per Warrant of the Shares and Underwriter's Warrants issuable upon exercise of this Option and the exercise price per Warrant Share and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Underwriter's Warrants after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation thereof. (e) All calculations under this paragraph 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-thousandth of a share, as the case may be. (f) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company upon the exercise of Options. If any fraction of a share would be issuable on the exercise of any Option (or specified portions thereof), the Company, in its sole discretion, shall purchase such fraction for an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the Current Market Price of such share on the date of exercise of the Option. 6. REORGANIZATION/RECLASSIFICATION. (a) In case of any consolidation with or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving or continuing corporation), or in case of any sale, lease or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, such successor, leasing or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall (i) execute with the Holder an agreement providing that the holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon exercise of this Option solely the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, property, cash or any combination thereof receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock and the Underwriter's Warrants for which this Option might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and (ii) make effective provision in order to effect such agreement. Such agreement shall provide for adjustment which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments for which paragraph 5 provides. (b) In case of any reclassification or change of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Option (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, but including any change in the shares into two or more classes or series of shares), or in case of any consolidation or merger of another corporation -4- into the Company in which the Company is the continuing corporation and in which there is a reclassification or change (including a change to the right to receive cash or other property) of the shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, but including any change in the shares into two or more classes or series of shares), the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon exercise of this Option solely the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, property, cash or any combination thereof receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock and the Underwriter's Warrants for which this Option might have been exercised immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger. Thereafter, appropriate provision shall be made for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments for which paragraph 5 above provides. (c) The above provisions of this paragraph 6 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications and changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, leases or conveyances similar to those described in paragraphs 6(a) and (b). 7. NOTICE OF DIVIDENDS/DISTRIBUTIONS. If, in case at any time the Company shall propose: (a) to pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or make any other distribution (other than regularly scheduled cash dividends which are not in a greater amount per share than the most recent such cash dividend) to all holders of Common Stock; or (b) to issue any rights, warrants or other securities to all holders of Common Stock or Public Warrants entitling them to purchase any additional shares of Common Stock or any other rights, warrants or other securities; or (c) to effect any reclassification or change or outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance of property, described in paragraph 6; or (d) to effect any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company; or (e) to take any other action which would cause an adjustment to the exercise price of the Public Warrants; then, and in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give written notice thereof, by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder at the Holder's address as it shall appear in the Option Register, mailed at least 15 days prior to: (i) the date as of which the holders of record of shares of Common Stock to be entitled to receive any such dividend, distribution, rights, warrants or other securities are to be determined; (ii) the date on which any such reclassification, change of outstanding shares of Common Stock, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance of property, liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of shares of Common Stock or Public Warrants, as the case may be, shall be entitled to exchange their shares or warrants for securities or other property, -5- if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, change of outstanding shares, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance of property, liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up; or (iii) the date of such action which would require an adjustment to the Public Exercise Price. 8. PAYMENT OF TAXES. The issuance of any Shares or Underwriter's Warrants or other securities upon the exercise of this Option, and the delivery of certificates or other instruments representing such shares of Common Stock, Warrants or other securities, shall be made without charge to the Holder for any tax or other charge in respect of such issuance. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate unless and until person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid or is not due and payable. 9. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. (a) If, at any time after _____________ [one year after the effective date of the registration statement], and before ___________ [five years after the effective date of the registration statement], the Company shall file a registration statement (other than on Form S-8, or any successor form) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") while Shares or Underwriter's Warrants underlying Units are available for purchase upon exercise of this Option or while any Shares, Underwriter's Warrants or Warrant Shares (which have not been so registered) are outstanding, the Company shall give the Holder and all the then registered holders of such Shares, Underwriter's Warrants or Warrant Shares at least 30 days prior written notice of the filing of such registration statement. If requested by the Holder or by any such holder in writing within 10 days after receipt of any such notice, the Company shall, at the Company's sole expense (other than the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Holder or such holder and the underwriting discounts and commissions, if any, payable in respect of the Warrants, Shares, Underwriter's Warrants and Warrant Shares sold by the Holder or any such holder), use its best efforts to register or qualify the Shares, Underwriter's Warrants and Warrant Shares (collectively, the "Underwriter's Securities") of the Holder or any such holders who shall have made such request concurrently with the registration covering such other securities, all to the extent requisite to permit the public offering and sale of the Underwriter's Securities through the facilities of all appropriate securities exchanges and the over-the-counter market, and will use its best efforts through its officers, directors, auditors and counsel to cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter of any such offering shall advise the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the distribution of all or a portion of the Underwriter's Securities requested to be included in the registration concurrently with the securities being registered by the Company would materially adversely affect the distribution of such securities by the Company for its own account, the Underwriter's Securities shall not be included in such registration statement or such registration statement shall include only so many of the Underwriter's Securities as will not have such an effect, provided that if any securities of the Company are included in such registration statement for the account of any person other than the Company and the Holder or any such holder, the securities included in such registration statement for such other person shall have been reduced pro rata to the reduction of the Underwriter's Securities which were requested to be included in such registration. -6- (b) If at any time after _______________ [one year after the effective date of the registration statement], and before _____________ [five years after the effective date of the registration statement], the Company shall receive a written request from holders of Underwriter's Securities who, in the aggregate, own (or upon exercise of all Warrants and Underwriter's Warrants, will own) a majority of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Underwriter's Warrants, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement sufficient to permit the public offering and sale of the Underwriter's Securities through the facilities of all appropriate securities exchanges and the over-the-counter market, and will use its best efforts through its officers, directors, auditors and counsel to cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable; PROVIDED HOWEVER, that the Company shall only be obligated to file one such registration statement for which all expenses incurred in connection with such registration (other than the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Holder or such holders and underwriting discounts and commissions, if any, payable in respect of the Underwriter's Securities sold by the Holder or any such holder) shall be borne by the Company and one additional such registration statement for which all such expenses shall be paid by the Holder and such holders. (c) In the event of a registration pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph 5, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Underwriter's Securities so registered to be registered or qualified for sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Holder or such holders may reasonably request; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such qualification will be required in any jurisdiction where, solely as a result thereof, the Company would be subject to (i) general service of process or to taxation or qualification as a foreign corporation doing business in such jurisdiction or (ii) qualification requirements which would require the Company to (A) amend its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or (B) rescind, modify or amend any action taken by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with their fiduciary obligations to the Company and its shareholders; provided, however, that the Company will make a good faith effort to obtain a waiver of any such requirement. (d) The Company shall keep effective any registration or qualification contemplated by this paragraph 9 and shall from time to time amend or supplement each applicable registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, application, document and communication for such period of time as shall be required to permit the Holder or such holders to complete the offer and sale of the Underwriter's Securities covered thereby. The Company shall in no event be required to keep any such registration or qualification effect for a period in excess of nine months from the date on which the Holder and such holders are first free to sell such Underwriter's Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Company is required to keep any such registration or qualification in effect with respect to securities other than the Underwriter's Securities beyond such period, the Company shall keep such registration or qualification in effect as it relates to the Underwriter's Securities for so long as such registration or qualification remains or is required to remain in effect in respect of such other securities. (e) In the event of a registration pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph 9, the Company shall furnish to each of the five largest holders of any Underwriter's Securities included -7- therein such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case, including all exhibits), such reasonable number of copies of each prospectus contained in such registration statement and each supplement or amendment thereto (including each preliminary prospectus), all of which shall conform to the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and such other documents, as the Holder or such holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Underwriter's Securities included in such registration. (f) In the event of a registration pursuant to the provisions this paragraph 9, the Company shall furnish to each holder of any Underwriter's Securities so registered with an opinion of its counsel (reasonably acceptable to the Holder) to the effect that (i) the registration statement has become effective under the Act and no order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement, preventing or suspending the use of the registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, any final prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto has been issued, nor has the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or any state securities authority instituted or threatened to institute any proceedings with respect to such an order, (ii) the registration statement and each prospectus forming a part thereof (including each preliminary prospectus), and any amendment or supplement thereto, materially complies as to form with the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (except as to financial statements, including schedules, and other accounting and financial data, as to which counsel need express no opinion), and (iii) such counsel has no knowledge or reason to know of any material misstatement or omission in such registration statement or any prospectus, as amended or supplemented. (g) The Company agrees that until all the Underwriter's Securities have been sold under a registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, it shall keep current in filing all reports, statements and other materials required to be filed with the Commission to permit holders of the Underwriter's Securities to sell such securities under Rule 144. 10. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) Subject to the conditions set forth below, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Holder, any holder of any of the Underwriter's Securities, their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents and counsel, and each person, if any, who controls any such person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), from and against any and all loss, liability, charge, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (which shall include, for all purposes of this paragraph 10, but not be limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and any and all expense whatsoever reasonably incurred, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), as and when incurred, arising out of, based upon, or in connection with (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in any registration statement, preliminary prospectus or final prospectus (as from time to time amended and supplemented), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (B) in any application or other document or communication (in this paragraph 10 collectively called an "application") executed by or on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to register or qualify any of the Underwriter's Securities under the securities or blue sky laws thereof or filed with the Commission or any securities exchange; or any omission or alleged omission to state a -8- material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, unless such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company with respect to the Holder or any holder of any of the Underwriter's Securities by or on behalf of such Holder or Holders, or such other Holder, exclusively for inclusion in any such preliminary prospectus, or final prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, as the case may be, or (ii) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company to indemnify, which shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have, including liabilities arising under this Option. However, the indemnity agreement by the Company set forth in this Section 10(a) shall not inure to the benefit of the Holder or any holder of the Underwriter's Securities (or their respective controlling persons), if the Holder any other such holder failed to send or give a copy of the final prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto to the purchaser of such securities as required by applicable law and such prospectus did not contain any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission giving rise to such purchaser's claim, damage or cause of action. If any action is brought against the Holder or any holder of any of the Underwriter's Securities or any of its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents or counsel, or any controlling persons of such person (an "indemnified party") in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, such indemnified party or parties shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the institution of such action (but the failure so to notify shall not relieve the Company from any liability it may have other than pursuant to this paragraph 10(a) except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure) and the Company shall promptly assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel (reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or parties) and payment of expenses. Such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Company in connection with the defense of such action or the Company shall not have promptly employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or parties to have charge of the defense of such action or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it or them or to other indemnified parties which are different from or in addition to those available to the Company, in any of which events the reasonable fees and expenses of one such counsel for all indemnified parties (unless there shall be differences in the relative rights and interests of the indemnified parties in which case each indemnified party may retain its own counsel which) shall be borne by the Company and the Company shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties. Anything in this paragraph 10 (a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any such claim or action effected without its written consent. (b) The Holder and any other holder of Underwriter's Securities agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who shall have signed any registration statement covering Underwriter's Securities held by the Holder and such other holder and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the -9- foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Holder and such other holder in paragraph 10(a), but only with respect to statements or omissions, if any, made in any registration statement, preliminary prospectus, or final prospectus (as from time to time amended and supplemented), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company with respect to the Holder or such other holder by or on behalf of the Holder or such other holder expressly for inclusion in any such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, or final prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, as the case may be. If any action shall be brought against the Company or any other person so indemnified based on any such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, or final prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Holder pursuant to this paragraph 10(b), the Holder and such other holder shall have the rights and duties given to the Company, and the Company and each other person so indemnified shall have the rights and duties given to the indemnified parties, by the provisions of paragraph 10(a). (c) To provide for just and equitable contribution, if (i) an indemnified party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to paragraph 10(a) or 10(b) (subject to the limitations thereof) but is found in a final judicial determination, not subject to further appeal, that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, or (ii) any indemnified or indemnifying party seeks contribution under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, then the Company (including for this purpose any contribution made by or on behalf of any director of the Company, any officer of the Company who signed any such registration statement and any controlling person of the Company), as one entity, and the Holder and any holder of any of the Underwriter's Securities included in such registration in the aggregate (including for this purpose any contribution by or on behalf of an indemnified party), as a second entity, shall contribute to the losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever to which any of them may be subject, on the basis of relevant equitable considerations such as the relative fault of the Company and the Holder or any such holder in connection with the facts which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses. The relative fault, in the case of an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, shall be determined by, among other things, whether such statement, alleged statement, omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company, by the Holder or by any holder of Underwriter's Securities included in such registration, and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, alleged statement, omission or alleged omission. The Company and the Holder agree that it would be unjust and inequitable if the respective obligations of the Company and the Holder or any such other holder of the Underwriter's Securities for contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation of the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (even if the Holder and the other indemnified parties were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not reflect the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph 10(c). No person guilty of a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph 10(c), each person, if any, who controls the Holder or any holder of any of the Underwriter's Securities within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and each officer, director, partner, employee, agent and counsel of each such person, -10- shall have the same rights to contribution as such person and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and each officer, director, partner, employee, agent and counsel of each such person, shall have the same rights to contribution as such person and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed any such registration statement, and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions of this paragraph 10(c). Anything in this paragraph 10(c) to the contrary notwithstanding, no party shall be liable for contribution with respect to the settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent. This paragraph 10(c) is intended to supersede any right to contribution under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise. (d) The provisions of this paragraph 10 shall survive regardless of the expiration, exercise or surrender of this Option. 11. LEGEND. The securities issued upon exercise of this Option shall be subject to a stop transfer order and, when Company's counsel deems appropriate, the certificate or certificates evidencing any such securities shall bear the following legend: "THE SHARES [OR OTHER SECURITIES] REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. HOWEVER, SUCH SHARES [OR OTHER SECURITIES] CANNOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (i) A POST-EFFECTIVE AMENDMENT TO SUCH REGISTRATION STATEMENT, (ii) A SEPARATE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT, OR (iii) AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT." 12. LOST CERTIFICATES. If this Option is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on such reasonable terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Option, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Option of like date, denomination and tenor as, and in substitution for, this Option, which shall thereupon become void. Any such new Option shall constitute an independent contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the Option so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated shall at any time be enforceable by anyone. 13. NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER. No Holder of any Option shall have, solely on account of such status, any rights of a shareholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, or to any notice of meetings of stockholders or of any other proceedings of the Company, except as provided in this Option. -11- 14. NOTICES. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made when delivered, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested: (a) If to the registered holder of this Option, to the address of such holder as shown on the books of the Company; or (b) If to the Company, to the address set forth in Paragraph l(a) of this Option; or (c) if to the Holder, to the address set forth on the first page of this Option. 15. GOVERNING LAW. This Option shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to conflict of laws.

Incorporated Under the Laws of the State of Florida Void After 5 P.M. Miami, Florida time on _______________, ____ No. ______________ _________ Warrants to Purchase _______ Shares THIS IS TO CERTIFY, that, for value received, ______________, a __________corporation (the "Underwriter"), or its registered assigns, is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth on or after ___________, ____, and at any time prior to 5 P.M., Miami, Florida time on ___________, ____, but not thereafter, to purchase the number of shares set forth above (the "Shares") of common stock, par value $.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), of GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Florida corporation (the "Corporation"), from the Corporation upon payment to the Corporation of $____ per share of Common Stock (the "Purchase Price"), if and to the extent this Warrant is exercised, in whole or in part, during the period this Warrant remains in force, subject in all cases to adjustment as provided in Article II hereof, and to receive certificates representing the Common Stock so purchased, upon presentation and surrender to the Corporation of this Warrant, with the form of subscription attached hereto duly executed, and accompanied by payment of the Purchase Price of each share of Common Stock purchased as provided herein. Two Warrants are exercisable to purchase one Share, subject to adjustment as provided herein. ARTICLE I TERMS OF THE WARRANT SECTION 1.01 Subject to the provisions of Sections 1.05 and 3.01 hereof, this Warrant may be exercised at any time and from time to time after 9:00 A.M., Miami, Florida time, on ___________, ____ (the "Exercise Commencement Date"), but no later than 5:00 P.M., Miami, -1- Florida time on ___________, ____ (the "Expiration Time"). If ___________, ____ is a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law to close, then the date on which this Warrant shall expire shall be the next succeeding day which shall not be such a day. If this Warrant is not exercised on or before the Expiration Time it shall become void, and all rights hereunder shall thereupon cease. SECTION 1.02 (1) The holder of this Warrant (the "Holder") may exercise Warrants in denominations of two or whole number multiples thereof, upon surrender of this Warrant with the form of subscription attached hereto duly executed, to the Corporation at its corporate office located at 4101 S.W. 47th Avenue, Suite 101, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33314, together with the full Purchase Price for each share of Common Stock to be purchased in lawful money of the United States, or by check, bank draft or postal or express money order payable in United States dollars to the order of the Corporation, and upon compliance with and subject to the conditions set forth herein. If Warrants in denominations other than two or whole number multiples thereof shall be exercised at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise. (2) Upon receipt of this Warrant with the form of subscription duly executed and accompanied by payment of the aggregate Purchase Price for the Shares for which this Warrant is then being exercised, together with all taxes applicable upon such exercise, the Corporation shall cause to be issued certificates for the total number of whole shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is being exercised in such denominations as are required for delivery to the Holder, and the Corporation shall thereupon deliver such certificates to the Holder or its nominee. (3) In case the Holder shall exercise this Warrant with respect to less than all of the shares of Common Stock that may be purchased under this Warrant, the Corporation shall execute a new Warrant for the balance of the shares of Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant and deliver such new Warrant to the Holder. (4) The Corporation covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue of this Warrant, or the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of this Warrant or of the shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder at the time of surrender, and until the payment of such tax the Corporation shall not be required to issue such shares of Common Stock. SECTION 1.03 This Warrant may be split-up, combined or exchanged for another warrant or warrants of like tenor to purchase a like aggregate number of shares. If the Holder desires to split-up, combine, or exchange this Warrant, he shall make such request in writing delivered to the -2- Corporation at its corporate office and shall surrender this Warrant and any other Warrants to be so split-up, combined or exchanged at such office. Upon any such surrender for a split-up, combination or exchange, the Corporation shall execute and deliver to the person entitled thereto a Warrant or Warrants, as the case may be, as so requested. The Corporation shall not be required to effect any split-up, combination or exchange that will result in the issuance of a Warrant entitling the Holder to purchase upon exercise a fraction of a share of Common Stock. The Corporation may require the holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any split-up, combination or exchange of Warrants. SECTION 1.04 Prior to due presentment for registration or transfer of this Warrant, the Corporation may deem and treat the Holder, as registered on the books of the Corporation maintained for that purpose, as the absolute owner of this Warrant (notwithstanding any endorsement or notation of ownership or other writing hereon) for the purpose of any exercise hereof and for all other purposes and the Corporation shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. SECTION 1.05 This Warrant may be sold, hypothecated, exercised, assigned, or transferred in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). SECTION 1.06 Any assignment permitted hereunder shall be made by surrender of this Warrant to the Corporation at its principal office with the form of assignment attached hereto duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax. In such event, the Corporation shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation thereof at the corporate office of the Corporation together with a written notice signed by the Holder, specifying the names and denominations in which such new Warrants are to be issued. SECTION 1.07 Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meetings of stockholders for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Corporation. If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant and prior to its exercise, any of the following shall occur: (a) the Corporation shall declare any dividend payable in stock to the holders of its Common Stock or make any other distribution in property other than cash to the holders of its Common Stock; or (b) the Corporation shall offer to the holders of its Common Stock rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class of stock or any other purchase any shares of any class of stock or any other rights or options or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of any class of stock; or -3- (c) the Corporation shall effect any reclassification of its Common Stock (other than a reclassification involving merely the subdivision or combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or any capital reorganization, or any consolidation or merger (other than a merger in which no distribution of securities or other property is made to holders of Common Stock), or any sale, transfer or other disposition of its property, assets and business substantially as an entirety, or the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; or (d) the Corporation shall issue any shares of Common Stock in exchange for shares of preferred stock or indebtedness of the Corporation, other than upon conversion of such shares of preferred stock or indebtedness; then, in each such case, the Corporation shall cause notice of such proposed action to be mailed to the Holder. Such notice shall specify (i) the date on which the books of the Corporation shall close, or a record be taken, for determining holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such stock dividend or other distribution or such rights or options, or the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, other disposition, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or exchange shall take place or commence, as the case may be, (ii) the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive securities or other property deliverable upon such action, if any such date has been fixed (on such date in the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the right to exercise this Warrant shall terminate), and (iii) such facts as shall indicate the effect of such action (to the extent such effect may be known at the date of such notice) on the Purchase Price and the kind and amount of the Common Stock and other securities and property deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. Such notice shall be mailed in the case of any action covered by Subsection 1.07(a) and 1.07(b) above, at least ten (10) days prior to the record date of determining holders of the Common Stock for purposes of receiving such payment or offer, and in the case of any action covered by Subsection 1.07(c) above or this 1.07(d), at least ten (10) days prior to the earlier of the date upon which such action is to take place or any record date to determine holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such securities or other property. Without limiting the obligation of the Corporation to provide notice to the Holder of actions hereunder, it is agreed that failure of the Corporation to give notice shall not invalidate such action of the Corporation. SECTION 1.08 If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Corporation shall, on such reasonable terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as, and in substitution for, this Warrant, which shall thereupon become void. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an independent contractual obligation of the Corporation, whether or not the Warrant so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated shall at any time be enforceable by anyone. -4- SECTION 1.09 (1) The Corporation covenants and agrees that at all times it shall reserve and keep available for the exercise of this Warrant such number of authorized shares of Common Stock as are sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant. (2) Prior to each issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant, the Corporation shall secure the registration of such shares and listing upon any securities exchange (including NASDAQ) upon which the shares of the Corporation's Common Stock may at the time be listed for trading, if any. (3) The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock when issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will be validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. ARTICLE II ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK PURCHASABLE UPON EXERCISE SECTION 2.01 Subject to the provisions of this Article II, the Purchase Price in effect from time to time shall be subject to adjustment as follows: (1) In the case the Corporation shall (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on the outstanding shares of its Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine the outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, (iv) issue any shares of its Common Stock shares, (iv) issue any shares of its Common Stock by reclassification of the Common Stock, then in each case the Purchase Price in effect immediately after the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification. Any shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable in payment of a dividend shall be deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the record date for such dividend. (2) All calculations under this Section 2.01 shall be made to the nearest whole cent. SECTION 2.02 Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to Subsection 2.01(1) each Warrant shall thereupon evidence the right to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock (calculated to the nearest whole share) obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment by the Purchase Price in effect immediately -5- prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment. SECTION 2.03 In case of any capital reorganization, other than in the cases referred to in Section 2.01 hereof, or the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the conversion of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into shares of other stock or other securities or property), or the sale of the property of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or the conversion, however effected, of the Corporation into another form of entity (collectively such actions being hereinafter referred to as "Reorganizations"), there shall thereafter be deliverable upon exercise of any Warrant in lieu of the shares of Common Stock theretofore deliverable upon the Warrant's exercise) the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise have been deliverable upon the exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled upon such Reorganization if such Warrant had been exercised in full immediately prior to such Reorganization. In case of any Reorganization, appropriate adjustment, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, shall be made in the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests of Warrant holders so that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible without change, to any shares or other property thereafter deliverable upon exercise of the Warrant. The Corporation shall not effect any such Reorganization, unless upon or prior to the consummation thereof the successor entity, or if the Corporation shall be the surviving entity in any such Reorganization and is not the issuer of the shares of stock or other securities or property to be delivered to holders of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the effective time thereof, then such issuer shall assume by written instrument the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities, cash or other property as the Holder shall be entitled to purchase in accordance with the foregoing provisions. In the event of a sale or conveyance or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation as a part of a plan for liquidation of the Corporation, all rights to exercise any Warrant shall terminate on the date such sale or conveyance or other transfer is to be consummated. SECTION 2.05 The Corporation may select a firm of independent certified public accountants acceptable to the Holder hereof, which selection may be changed from time to time, to verify the computations made in accordance with this Article II. The certificate, report or other written statement of any such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any computation made under this Article II. SECTION 2.06 Irrespective of any adjustments pursuant to this Article II, Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued need not be amended or replaced, but certificates thereafter issued shall bear an appropriate legend or other notice of any adjustments. SECTION 2.07 The Corporation shall not be required upon the exercise of any Warrant to issue fractional shares of Common Stock that may result from adjustments in accordance with this -6- Article II to the Purchase Price or number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under each Warrant. If more than one Warrant is exercised at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock that shall be deliverable shall be computed based on the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable in exchange for the aggregate number of Warrants exercised. With respect to any final fraction of a share called for upon the exercise of any Warrant or Warrants, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the market value of a share of Common Stock on the business day next preceding the date of such exercise. The Holder, by his acceptance of the Warrant, shall expressly waive any right to receive any fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants. For the purposes of this Section 2.07, the market price per share of Common Stock at any date shall mean the last reported sale price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such date, the average of the last reported bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is admitted to trading or listed if that is the principal market for the Common Stock or if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or if such national security exchange is not the principal market for the Common Stock, the closing bid price (or closing sales price, if reported) as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System or its successor, if any. If the price of the Common Stock is not so reported, then such market price shall mean the last known price paid per share by a purchaser of such stock in an arms' length transaction. All calculations under this Section 2.07 shall be made to the nearest 1/100th of a share. SECTION 2.08 In no event shall the Purchase Price be adjusted below the par value per share of the Common Stock. ARTICLE III REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 SECTION 3.01 The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant have been registered under the Act on Form SB-2, SEC File No. 333-_____ (the "Registration Statement") as part of the Underwriters' Purchase Option Agreement. Upon exercise, in part or in whole, of this Warrant, the certificates representing the Shares then issued shall bear the following legend if, in the opinion of Corporation's legal counsel, such legend is then applicable: "The shares represented by this certificate have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, solely for sale by the holder of a warrant to purchase such shares, which holder may be deemed to be an underwriter of such shares within the provisions and for purposes only of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The issuer of these shares will agree to a transfer hereof only if (1) an amended or supplemented prospectus setting forth the terms of the offer has been filed as part of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement under which these shares are registered or as part of a new registration statement, if then required, and such -7- post-effective amendment or new registration statement has become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (2) counsel to the issuer is reasonably satisfied that no such post-effective amendment or new registration statement is required." SECTION 3.02 The Corporation understands and agrees that if at any time during the period referred to above it should file a registration statement or offering statement pursuant to the Act for a public offering of securities, the Corporation, at its own expense, will offer to the Holder the opportunity to register or qualify the offering and sale of any or all of the Shares. Registration Rights set forth in Section 9 of the Underwriters' Purchase Option are incorporated by reference and made a part hereof. This paragraph is not applicable to a registration statement filed with the Commission on Form S-4 or S-8, or any successor forms. SECTION 3.03 In connection with any registration under Section 3.02 hereof, the Corporation covenants and agrees as follows: (a) The Corporation shall use its best efforts to have any post-effective amendment or new registration statement declared effective at the earliest possible time, and shall furnish such number of prospectuses as shall reasonably be requested by the Holder. (b) The Corporation shall pay all costs, fees, and expenses in connection with all post-effective amendments or new registration statements under Section 3.02 hereof including, without limitation, the Corporation's legal and accounting fees, printing expenses, blue sky fees and expenses, except that the Corporation shall not pay any of the following costs, fees or expenses: (i) underwriting discounts and commissions allocable to the Shares, (ii) state transfer taxes, (iii) brokerage commissions and (iv) fees and expenses of counsel and accountants for the holders of the Warrants, and/or Shares. (c) The Corporation will take all necessary action to qualify or register the Shares included in a post-effective amendment or new registration statement for offering and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states as are requested by the holders of such securities, provided that the Corporation shall not be obligated to execute or file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the law of any such jurisdiction.

Purchaser shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction or by governmental authority, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the expense of the Company, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential; (xii) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any common stock included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, use its reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order; (xiii) use its best efforts to obtain a "cold comfort" letter from the independent public accountants of the Company which is addressed to Purchaser and any underwriters and contains such matters of the type customarily covered by "cold comfort" letters; and (xiv) use its best efforts to obtain an opinion from counsel for the Company which is addressed to Purchaser and underwriter and contains such matters of the type customarily covered by counsel for the issuer of securities. (a) AFFIDAVITS OF PURCHASER. With respect to any Piggyback Registration or Demand Registration, Purchaser shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with the registration of the Request Securities. (b) PUBLIC SALE BY PURCHASER. Purchaser shall not effect any public sale or distribution of Request Securities, of any class or series being registered in a Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration for offering to the public, any similar security issued by 21 the issuer ofsuch class or series or any security exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into any such class or series of any such Request Securities or any such similar security, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar rule then in force) under the Securities Act, during, in the case of a Piggyback Registration, the fourteen (14) days prior to, and during the ninety (90) day period beginning on, the effective date of the Piggyback Registration (except as part of such registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to either such form) and, in the case of any Demand Registration, the period commencing on the date of filing the Demand Registration and ending on the 120th day following the effective date of the Demand Registration (except as part of such Demand Registration), if and to the extent requested by the Company, in the case of a non-underwritten public offering, or if and to the extent requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters, in the case of an underwritten public offering. (c) PUBLIC SALE BY THE COMPANY AND OTHERS. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates (other than Purchaser, if deemed to be an Affiliate) will effect any public sale or distribution of any securities of any class or series being registered in a Piggyback Registration or Demand Registration for offering to the public, any similar security issued by the issuer of such class or series or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any such security during, in the case of a Piggyback Registration, the fourteen (14) days prior to, and during the ninety (90) day period beginning on, the effective date of the Piggyback Registration (except as part of such registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to either such form) and, in the case of any Demand Registration, the period commencing on the date of filing the Demand Registration and ending on the 120th day following the effective date of the Demand Registration. (d) REGISTRATION EXPENSES. The Company shall pay for all costs and expenses ("Registration Expenses") of each registration hereunder, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) registration and filing fees, (ii) fees and expenses relating to the Company's compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications), (iii) expenses incident to the preparation, printing and filing of the registration statement, each preliminary prospectus and definitive prospectus and each amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing and copies thereof, (iv) internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of officers and employees of the Company performing legal or accounting duties), (v) fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Request Securities, (vi) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and expenses of independent certified public accountants retained by the Company, (vii) fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration, (viii) fees and expenses associated with any filings with or submission to the NASD (including, if applicable, the fees and expenses of any "qualified independent underwriters," as such term is defined in Schedule E of the By-laws of the NASD, and its counsel), (ix) fees of each investment banking firm required to be retained or consulted pursuant to the terms hereof; and (x) fees and disbursements of one law firm for the underwriters, in any underwritten offering. The Company shall not have any obligation to pay any underwriting fees, discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of Request Securities, as the 22 case may be, by Purchaser, or, except as otherwise provided in the immediately precedingsentence, any out-of-pocket expenses of Purchaser (or any agents who manage their accounts) or fees and disbursements of any counsel for Purchaser. 6.4 INDEMNIFICATION REGARDING REGISTRATION RIGHTS. (a) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company shall indemnify Purchaser and, if applicable, its officers and directors and each Person who controls Purchaser (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, preliminary prospectus or definitive prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by Purchaser specifically for use in the preparation thereof or by Purchaser's failure, if required, to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished Purchaser with a sufficient number of copies of the same. (b) INDEMNIFICATION BY PURCHASER. In connection with any registration statement in which Purchaser is participating, Purchaser shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, preliminary prospectus or definitive prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in information furnished by Purchaser to the Company specifically for use in the preparation of such registration statement or prospectus. (c) PROCEDURE. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will: (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification, provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure; and (b) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. 23 (d) SURVIVAL. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of securities. (e) CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.4 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to the indemnified party, then the indemnifying party, instead of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to and pay the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage, liability or expenses (collectively, the "Claim") giving rise to indemnification hereunder in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying and indemnified party in connection with the actions which gave rise to the Claim. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the action in question has been made by, or relates to, information supplied by such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties' relevant intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The Company and Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution and payment pursuant to this Section 6.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other allocation method which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentence. The amount paid or payable as a result of a Claim shall include any legal or other fees and expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with such Claim. However, no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contributions and payment from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 6.5 PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. No Person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Person: (a) agrees to sell its securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements reasonably approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements; and (b) accurately completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents customarily required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 6.6 RULE 144. The Company shall file, on a timely basis, any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so as to enable a Purchaser to sell the Piggyback Registrable Securities and Demand Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by: (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time; or (b) any similar rule adopted by the Commission. ARTICLE VII TAG ALONG RIGHTS AND BRING ALONG RIGHTS 7.1 TAG ALONG RIGHT. With respect to any proposed transfer of shares of Common Stock by Berg or Tessier to a third party (the "Third Party"), Berg and Tessier shall not be 24 permitted to effect such a transfer without first offering Purchaser the right to sell its shares of Common Stock, pro rata with Berg and/or Tessier, to the Third Party, at the same price per share and upon the same terms and conditions of the proposed transfer by Berg or Tessier. However the "tag along" rights granted under this Section 7.1 shall not apply to: (a) the first 800,000 shares of Common Stock which are sold by Berg and/or Tessier after the date hereof; (b) shares of Common Stock which are sold by Berg and/or Tessier after the date hereof in accordance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, unless such shares are sold in a block (as such term is defined in Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act. In this regard, each of Tessier and Berg shall promptly notify Purchaser of any such disposition of shares which is not subject to the "tag along" rights granted hereunder pursuant to subsection (a) of the preceding sentence. Furthermore, Purchaser shall not be able to exercise its rights under this Section 7.1 with regard to any of its shares of Common Stock, if such shares are not registered with the SEC and Purchaser previously failed to exercise its right to register such shares in a Piggyback Registration. 7.2 BRING ALONG RIGHT. If Berg or Tessier, or both (collectively, the "Principals") receive a bona fide offer from an unaffiliated third party (the "Third Party Offer") to purchase (for cash or securities) all of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock and the Principals wish to accept such offer, then the Principals shall, within ten (10) days of accepting the Third Party Offer, notify Purchaser, in writing, of such offer. Upon receipt of such notice, Purchaser shall then sell shares of Common Stock, pro rata with Berg and/or Tessier, at the same price per share and upon the same terms and conditions of the Third Party Offer. However, the bring along rights granted hereunder shall not be available to Berg or Tessier unless, the exercise of such right, would cause the Purchaser to receive an amount from the unaffiliated party equal to at least four (4) times the Purchase Price. The "bring along" rights granted in this Section 7.2 shall expire on the third anniversary hereof. ARTICLE VIII PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS AND ANTI DILUTION RIGHTS 8.1 PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS. (a) GRANT OF RIGHT. If the Company proposes to and does issue (the "Third Party Issuance") additional shares of Voting Stock or any Rights to acquire Voting Stock, to any Person, other than Purchaser or its respective Affiliates, then Purchaser shall have the right (the "Preemptive Right") to purchase shares of Voting Stock or Rights, as the case may be, so that, immediately after such purchase and the Third Party Issuance, Purchaser shall own the same percentage of shares of the Company's issued and outstanding Voting Stock (or the right to own such percentage), as it had owned prior to the proposed Third Party Issuance. (b) PROCEDURE. The Company shall give Purchaser ten (10) Business Day's prior written notice of any proposed issuance of Voting Stock or Rights which would entitle Purchaser to exercise the Preemptive Right. Upon receipt of such notice, Purchaser shall have ten (10) Business Days (the "Exercise Period") to exercise the Preemptive Right. If by the 25 expiration of the Exercise Period, Purchaser notifies the Company that it does not wish to exercise the Preemptive Right or has failed to give a notice to the Company, then the Company may continue with and effect the proposed Third Party Issuance. If Purchaser chooses to exercise the Preemptive Right during the Exercise Period, the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to issue such Voting Shares or Rights to Purchaser in accordance with this Section, and may continue with and effect the proposed Third Party Issuance. (c) EXERCISE PRICE. In connection with the exercise of the Preemptive Right: (i) the exercise price shall be the same price at which the shares of Voting Stock or Rights are being issued pursuant to the Third Party Issuance; and (ii) the terms and conditions of the purchase shall be, as nearly as reasonably practicable, the same as the terms and conditions of the Third Party Issuance. If all or part of the Third Party Issuance offering price consists of any consideration other than cash, then the per share, or per Right, price at which Purchaser is offered the Preemptive Right shall be the amount determined by dividing the total number of Voting Stock or Rights which are the subject of the Third Party Issuance into the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of cash, if any, proposed to be paid for such securities; and (ii) the aggregate fair market value of the non-cash consideration proposed to be paid for such securities (taking into account, in determining such fair market value, any liabilities associated with such non-cash consideration). (d) EXCEPTIONS. If the Third Party Issuance involves the borrowing of money from the proposed purchaser, then Purchaser shall not have the Preemptive Right with regard to such Third Party Issuance unless Purchaser agrees to participate in such debt financing, on a pro rata basis and pursuant to the same terms and conditions. Furthermore, the Preemptive Rights shall not apply to any public offering of securities by the Company which is registered with the SEC. 8.2 ANTI-DILUTION RIGHTS. (a) RIGHT. Promptly after each Dilutive Issuance, the Company shall issue to Purchaser without the payment of any additional consideration by Purchaser, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock calculated by: (i) multiplying (A) the Weighted Average Price, calculated after giving effect to such Dilutive Issuance, by (B) the lesser of (x) the aggregate number of Dilution Shares, if any, issued, or deemed to be issued, in such Dilutive Issuance and in all prior Dilutive Issuances (if any) and (y) the number of shares issued to Purchaser on the date hereof (the "Current Number"); (ii) adding to the resulting product, the product of (A) $0.63 (the "Per Share Purchase Price") multiplied by (B) either (x) if the number of Dilution Shares issued, or deemed to be issued, in such Dilutive Issuance and in all prior Dilutive Issuances (if any) is less than the Current Number, the excess of the Current Number over the number of Dilution 26 Shares; or (y) if the number of Dilution Shares is equal to, or greater than, the Current Number, zero (0); (iii) dividing the resulting sum by the Current Number; (iv) dividing the Purchase Price by the quotient resulting from the division referred to in (iii); and (v) subtracting from the resulting quotient the sum of (A) the Current Number plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock, if any previously issued to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 8.2. (b) ISSUANCES IN CONNECTION WITH OTHER ISSUANCES. If the Company issues shares of Common Stock or Rights for shares of Common Stock in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company or in connection with the delivery by the Company of any other property or assets, which together comprise one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such shares or Rights, then such shares or Rights shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration. (c) ISSUANCES FOR CASH. If the Company issues, for cash, any shares of Common Stock or any Rights for shares of Common Stock, the consideration received shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor, after deduction of any accrued interest, dividends or any expenses incurred in any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith. (d) ISSUANCES FOR NON-CASH CONSIDERATION. If the Company issues, for non-cash consideration, any shares of Common Stock or any Rights for shares of Common Stock, the amount of the non-cash consideration shall be deemed the fair market value of such non-cash consideration on the date of issue of the securities, as reasonably determined by the Board, less any expenses or liabilities incurred by the Company in connection therewith. (e) ISSUANCES IN CONNECTION WITH MERGERS OR CONSOLIDATIONS. If the Company issues any shares of Common Stock or any Rights for shares of Common Stock, in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration shall be deemed to be the fair market value of the portion of the assets and business of the non-surviving corporation acquired in connection with such merger or consolidation, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board. In the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, the Company shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of Common Stock for stock or securities of the other corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated and for a consideration equal to the fair market value, on the date of such transaction, of such stock or securities of the other corporation. 27 (f) STOCK-SPLITS. If the Company subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Per Share Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such division shall be proportionately reduced. Conversely, if the Company combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Per Share Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. (g) NON-CIRCUMVENTION. The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, engage or participate in any transaction or otherwise by any act or omission (including amending its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, or the issue or sale of securities) avoid or attempt to avoid the observance and performance of the provisions of Section 8.1 or 8.2. Instead, the Company shall carry out all such terms and provisions, in good faith, and take all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the rights and benefits intended to be conferred in Section 8.1 and 8.2. (h) FULLY PAID; NO ENCUMBRANCES. All shares of Common Stock issued to Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.2, shall, when issued, be: (A) duly authorized, valid issued and outstanding,and fully paid and non-assessable; and (B) be free from all Encumbrances. (i) DOCUMENTARY TAX STAMPS. The Company shall pay any for any documentary tax stamps required in connection with any issue of shares of Common Stock to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 8.2. (j) NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not issue any fractional shares in connection with any issuance pursuant to this Section 8.2. Instead, to the extent that the calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 8.2 would result in the issuance of a fractional share, then the number of shares issued to Purchaser shall be rounded to the nearest number of whole shares. 8.3 RACHET RIGHT. (a) Depending on the Company's after tax earnings, as determined in accordance with GAAP and for the year ending December 31, 1997, the Company shall issue to Purchaser, for no additional consideration, the following number of shares of Common Stock: AFTER TAX EARNINGS NO.

However, Purchaser's aggregate liability under this Article X shall not exceed such Purchaser's Purchase Price. 10.4 PROCEDURE FOR CLAIMS. (a) NOTICE OF CLAIM. Promptly, but in any event within 30 days after obtaining knowledge of any claim or demand which may give rise to, or could reasonably give rise to, a claim for indemnification hereunder (any such claim an "Indemnification Claim"), the party or parties entitled to indemnification hereunder (the "Indemnified Party") shall give written notice to the party or parties subject to indemnification obligations therefor (the "Indemnifying Party") of such Indemnification Claim (a "Notice of Claim"). A Notice of Claim shall be given with respect to all Indemnification Claims. However, the failure to timely give a Notice of Claim to the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is not prejudiced by such failure. Subject to Section 10.1, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to give a Notice of Claim with respect to any representation and warranty after the second anniversary of the Closing Date. The Notice of Claim shall set forth the amount (or a reasonable estimate) of the loss, damage or expense suffered, or which may be suffered, by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Indemnification Claim and a brief description of the facts giving rise to such Indemnification Claim. The Indemnified Party shall furnish to the Indemnifying Party such information (in reasonable detail) as the Indemnified Party may have with respect to such Indemnification Claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on it and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same). 31 (b) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. (i) If the claim or demand set forth in the Notice of Claim is a claim or demand asserted by a third party (a "Third Party Claim"), the Indemnifying Party shall have 15 days (or such shorter period if an answer or other response or filing with respect to the pleadings served by the third party is required prior to the 15th day) after the date of receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the Notice of Claim (the "Notice Date") to notify the Indemnified Party in writing of the election by the Indemnifying Party to defend the Third Party Claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party. (ii) If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend a Third Party Claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its agents and representatives all records and other materials in its possession which are reasonably required in the defense of the Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall pay any expenses payable in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim as they are incurred (whether incurred by the Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party). (iii) In no event may the Indemnifying Party settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. (iv) If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, at the Indemnified Party's expense (and without the right to indemnification for such expense under this Agreement). However, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if: (A) the use of the counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (B) the parties to such proceeding include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; (C) within 10 days after being advised by the Indemnifying Party of the identity of counsel to be retained to represent the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party objects to the retention of such counsel for valid reasons (which shall be stated in a written notice to Indemnifying Party), and the Indemnifying Party does not retain different counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; or (D) the Indemnifying Party authorizes the Indemnified Party to retain separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. (v) If the Indemnifying Party does elect to defend a Third Party Claim, or does not defend a Third Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party may, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have hereunder, at the sole and exclusive expense of the Indemnifying Party, defend such Third Party Claim. However, such expenses shall be payable by the Indemnifying Party only if and when such Third Party Claim becomes payable. 32 (vi) To the extent that an Indemnified Party recovers on a Third Party Claim, the amount of such recovery (after deduction of all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Third Party Claim) shall reduce, dollar-for-dollar, the indemnification obligation otherwise owing by the Indemnifying Party. (c) COOPERATION IN DEFENSE. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of a Third Party Claim. Subject to the foregoing, (i) the Indemnified Party shall not have any obligation to participate in the defense of or to defend any Third Party Claim, and (ii) the Indemnified Party's defense of or its participation in the defense of any Third Party Claim shall not in any way diminish or lessen its right to indemnification as provided in this Agreement.

Attention: Mr. Peter Berg, Chairman & CEO RE: ASSIGNMENT OF HEMINGFOLD'S INVESTMENTS AND OTHER RIGHTS Dear Sirs: On behalf of Hemingfold Investments, Ltd. ("Hemingfold"), I am writing to advise Galacticomm Technologies, Inc. ("Galacticomm") that Hemingfold intends to transfer to a newly aquired subsidiary, Kenworthy Investments Ltd. ("Kenworthy"), its 2,255,866 shares of common stock of Galacticomm (the "Stock") along with Hemingfold's interests in the following contracts and other instruments: 1. Stock Purchase Agreement, dated November 21, 1996 by and among I-View Solftware, Inc. ("I-View") (the former name of Galacticomm), Peter Berg ("Berg"), Yannick Tessier ("Tessier"), and Hemingfold, as amended by a letter agreement (together, the "Stock Purchase Agreement"); 2. Security Agreement, dated November 21, 1996, by and between I-View and Hemingfold ("Security Agreement"); 3. Intercreditor Agreement, dated November 21, 1996, by and among I-View, Hemingfold, Union Atlantic Partners I Limited and Union Atlantic LC (the "Intercreditor Agreement"); 4. Escrow Agreement by and among Lucio, Mandler, Croland, Brongsia, Garbett, Stiphany & Martinez, P.A., Hemingfold, Berg, Tessier and Lorraine Gouger ("Gouger"); 5. Letter Agreement by and between Galacticomm and Hemingfold providing for the extension of registration rights under the Stock Purchase Agreement to shares of Galacticomm held by Berg, Tessier and Gouger that are subject to warrants issued by those individuals to Hemingfold, dated March 15, 1997, (the "Warrant Letter Agreement") following the exercise of the Warrants (as defined below); [LETTERHEAD] 6. Secured Convertible Promissory note made by I-View, dated November 21, 1996, to the order of Hemingfold in the principal amount of $1,250,000, as amended by letter agreement by and between Galacticomm and Hemingfold; 7. Warrant issued by Berg granting Hemingfold the right to purchase 1,200,000 shares of Galacticomm, dated March 15, 1997, (the "Berg Warrant"); 8. Warrant issued by Tessier granting Hemingfold the right to purchase 1,200,000 shares of Galacticomm, dated March 15, 1997, (the "Tessier Warrant"); 9. Warrant issued by Gouger granting Hemingfold the right to purchase 100,000 shares of Galacticomm, dated March 15, 1997, (the "Gouger Warrant", and together with the Berg Warrant and the Tessier Warrant, the "Warrants"); and 10. Subscription Agreement, dated May, 1997, by and between I-View and Hemingfold for the purchase of 271,739 shares of I-View. Following the assignment of the agreements, instruments and interests therein described in subparagraphs nos. 1 through to 10 above and the Galacticomm Stock (collectively, the "Galacticomm Interests") to Kenworthy, Hemingfold intends to sell its 100% holdings of the common stock of Kenworthy to an affiliate, the Peder Sager Wallenberg Charitable Trust. On behalf of Hemingfold, I request that Galacticomm acknowledge and contract to the two proposed transfers of the Galacticomm Interests by signing in the space indicated below and taking such other steps to affect these transfers, such as reissuing the Stock in the name of Kenworthy, seeking the agreement of Berg, Tessier and Gouger to the matters set forth in this letter and issuing and filing a new UCC-1 form in favor of Kenworthy. Furthermore, Galacticomm's execution of this letter agreement constitutes a representation by Galacticomm that, to its knowledge, there are no contractual or other restrictions that prevent Hemingfold from Transferring its Galacticomm Interests to Kenworthy as proposed, other that the consent of Union Atlantic Partners I Limited and Union Atlantic LC under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Hemingfold represents to Galacticomm that neither it nor Kenworthy is a U.S. person. Hemingfold acknowledges that its assignment of its rights and obligations under the above-listed agreements and instruments does not relieve Hemingfold of its responsibilities for any misrepresentation stated therein. By signing in the space below, please acknowledge on behalf of Galacticomm that it is Galacticomm's intent: [LETTERHEAD] 1. That the third paragraph of the letter agreement amending the Stock Purchase Agreement be construed so that the reference to Hemingfold in the second line of said paragraph refers to all affiliates of Hemingfold, including without limitation, Kemworthy; and 2. That the Warrant Letter Agreement be construed to be an amendment of the Stock Purchase Agreement implementing the intent of the parties as stated in the Warrant Letter Agreement to provide that the registration rights set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement shall apply to the shares to be acquired by Hemingfold, or its affiliated assignee, pursuant to the Warrants.

(a) Upon the occurrence of either of the following events, all principal and accrued interest due and payable under this Note (the "Outstanding Amount") shall be converted into that number of shares of Common Stock (the "Converted Shares") equal to the Outstanding Amount divided by the Conversion Price: (i) upon the written demand of the Payee; or (ii) upon the written demand of I-View, on or before April 15, 1998, if the Company's financial statements, as prepared by a "Big 6" accounting firm, for the financial year ending December 31, 1997, show Company after tax earnings of $1,000,000 or more. (b) The Company shall take appropriate action to reserve from the Company's authorized but unissued Common Stock, sufficient Common Stock to permit the conversion of the Outstanding Amount pursuant to Section 4(a), which reservation shall be noted in the books, records and, if appropriate, the financial statements of the Company. (c) The Company covenants that all Converted Shares which may be issued will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, excluding income taxes, gross receipts taxes or any similar tax based upon the earnings, receipts, income or gain to the Payee. 5. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Payee shall have the same piggyback registration, demand registration, tag along and bring along rights, regarding the Converted Shares, as are contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement. 6. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES AND CONVERSION PRICE. (a) CONVERSION PRICE (i) GENERAL. (A) In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights granted under this Note, the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to this Section 6(a). (B) If the Company issues or sells or, in accordance with Section 6(a)(ii) hereof, is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issuance or sale (except for the issuance or deemed issuance of securities in a transaction described in Section 6(a)(i)(C)), then immediately upon each such issuance or sale the Conversion Price shall be reduced to a price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance or sale by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number 4 of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding prior to the issuance or sale and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock that the amount receivable by the Company upon such issuance or sale on that occasion would purchase at the initial Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding and Common Stock Deemed Outstanding under Subsection 6(a)(ii) immediately after such issuance or sale. (C) The existence and any exercise of any option, warrant, or other right to purchase Common Stock, that is outstanding on the date hereof shall be excluded from the operation of Paragraph (B) of this Subsection 6(a)(i) and from the operation of Subsection 6(a)(ii) (ii) EFFECT ON EXERCISE PRICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under Subsection 6(a)(i) above, the following provisions shall be applicable: (A) ISSUANCE OF RIGHTS AND OPTIONS. If the Company in any manner grants any rights or options to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or any stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such rights or options being herein called "Options" and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called "Convertible Securities") and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For purposes of this paragraph, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities" shall be determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon exercise of all such Options plus, in the case of Options that relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options and upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options. (B) ISSUANCE OF CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issuance or sale, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For purposes of this paragraph, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange" shall be determined by dividing (i) the total 5 amount received by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. (C) CHANGE IN OPTION PRICE AND CONVERSION RATE. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange or any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be reduced to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration, or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. (D) CALCULATION OF CONSIDERATION RECEIVED. If any Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for consideration that includes unrestricted cash, then the amount of cash consideration actually received by the Company shall be deemed to be the full monetary value of the unrestricted cash portion thereof. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for a consideration part or all of which is other than unrestricted cash, then the amount of the consideration other than unrestricted cash received by the Company shall be deemed to be in the Fair Value of such consideration. (E) INTEGRATED TRANSACTIONS. If any Option is issued in connection with the issuance or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Option by the parties thereto, the Option shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration. (F) TREASURY SHARES. The number of shares of Stock Deemed Outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held shall be considered an issuance or sale of Common Stock. (iii) SUBDIVISION AND COMBINATION OF COMMON STOCK; STOCK DIVIDENDS. If the Company shall at any time after the date hereof (a) issue any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities, or any rights to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities as a dividend upon Stock, (b) issue any shares of Common Stock in subdivision of outstanding shares of Common Stock by reclassification, stock split or otherwise, or (c) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock by reclassification, stock split or otherwise, then the Conversion Price that would apply if purchase rights hereunder were being exercised immediately prior to such action by the Company shall be reduced only by multiplying it by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such dividend, subdivision or combination and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares 6 of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such dividend, subdivision or combination. (iv) CERTAIN DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Company declares a dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock payable otherwise than out of earnings or earned surplus AND otherwise than in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by an amount equal, in the case of a dividend or distribution in cash, to the amount thereof payable per share of the Stock or, in the case of any other dividend or distribution, to the Fair Value of such dividend or distribution per share of Common Stock. For purposes of the foregoing, a dividend or distribution other than in cash shall be considered payable out of earnings or earned surplus only to the extent that such earnings or earned surplus are charged an amount equal to the Fair Value of such dividend or distribution. Such reductions shall take effect as of the date on which a record is taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution, of, if a record is not taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock or record entitled to such dividend or distribution are to be determined. (v) MANNER OF CALCULATING ADJUSTMENTS; NO DE MINIMIS ADJUSTMENTS. The calculation of each adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made accurate to the nearest ten- thousandth. No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one cent per share. In such case any adjustment that otherwise would be required to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment that, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than one cent per share. (b) ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE. Upon each reduction of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, the Payee shall thereafter (until another such reduction) be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price in effect on the date the conversion rights under this Note are exercised, the number of shares of Common Stock, calculated to the nearest whole number of Common Stock, determined by (a) multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder immediately prior to the reduction of the Conversion Price by the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such reduction, and (b) dividing the product so obtained by the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such exercise. 7.

18 (iii) unless the Company qualifies to use a Form S-3 registration statement or any similar form then in effect, prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments and supplements to the registration statement or any prospectus as may be necessary to keep the registration statement effective for a period of not more than one hundred and eighty (180) days and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act applicable to the Company with respect to the disposition of all the Request Securities, covered by such registration statement or any supplement to any such prospectus; (iv) if the Company qualifies to use a Form S-3 registration statement or any similar form then in effect and if the Company receives a request for a Demand Registration, prepare and file with the Commission such registration statement to permit the offering of the Demand Registrable Securities to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission) under the Securities Act (a "Shelf Registration") and keep the Shelf Registration current and continuously effective until Purchaser can sell all of the Demand Registrable Securities;

(vii) notify Purchaser at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of Purchaser, the Company will prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to subsequent purchasers of such Request Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (viii) cause all such Request Securities, to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and, if not so listed, to be listed on one of the following (in order of priority and assuming that the Company qualifies for such listing): (A) the New York Stock Exchange, (B) the American Stock Exchange; (C) the NASDAQ National Market System; or (D) the NASDAQ SmallCap Market System; 19 (ix) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Request Securities, not later than the effective date of such registration statement; (x) enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as Purchaser or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Request Securities, (including, without limitation, effecting a stock split or a combination of shares); (xi) make available for inspection by Purchaser, any underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the "Records") to the extent reasonably necessary to enable such person to exercise their due diligence responsibilities and cause the Company's officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement. Records and other information which the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and of which determination Purchaser is notified shall not be disclosed by Purchaser unless (i) the disclosure of such Records or other information, in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company, is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, any prospectus or prospectus supplement, or (ii) the release of such Records or other information is ordered pursuant to subpoena, court order or request by a governmental authority or otherwise is required by applicable law or (iii) the information in such Records or such other information is generally available to the public.

With respect to any Piggyback Registration or Demand Registration, Purchaser shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with the registration of the Request Securities. (b) PUBLIC SALE BY PURCHASER. Purchaser shall not effect any public sale or distribution of Request Securities, of any class or series being registered in a Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration for offering to the public, any similar security issued by the issuer of such class or series or any security exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into any such class or series of any such Request Securities or any such similar security, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar rule then in force) under the Securities Act, during, in the case of a Piggyback Registration, the fourteen (14) days prior to, and during the ninety (90) day period beginning on, the effective date of the Piggyback Registration (except as part of such registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to either such form) and, in the case of any Demand Registration, the period commencing on the date of filing the Demand Registration and ending on the 120th day following the effective date of the Demand Registration (except as part of such Demand Registration), if and to the extent requested by the Company, in the case of a non-underwritten public offering, or if and to the extent requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters, in the case of an underwritten public offering.

Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates (other than Purchaser, if deemed to be an Affiliate) will effect any public sale or distribution of any securities of any class or series being registered in a Piggyback Registration or Demand Registration for offering to the public, any similar security issued by the issuer of such class or series or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any such security during, in the case of a Piggyback Registration, the fourteen (14) days prior to, and during the ninety (90) day period beginning on, the effective date of the Piggyback Registration (except as part of such registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to either such form) and, in the case of any Demand Registration, the period commencing on the date of filing the Demand Registration and ending on the 120th day following the effective date of the Demand Registration. (d) REGISTRATION EXPENSES. The Company shall pay for all costs and expenses ("Registration Expenses") of each registration hereunder, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) registration and filing fees, (ii) fees and expenses relating to the Company's compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications), (iii) expenses incident to the preparation, printing and filing of the registration statement, each preliminary prospectus and definitive prospectus and each amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing and copies thereof, (iv) internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of officers and employees of the Company performing legal or accounting duties), (v) fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Request Securities, (vi) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and expenses of independent certified public accountants retained by the Company, (vii) fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in 21 connection with such registration, (viii) fees and expenses associated with any filings with or submission to the NASD (including, if applicable, the fees and expenses of any "qualified independent underwriters," as such term is defined in Schedule E of the By-laws of the NASD, and its counsel), (ix) fees of each investment banking firm required to be retained or consulted pursuant to the terms hereof; and (x) fees and disbursements of one law firm for the underwriters, in any underwritten offering. The Company shall not have any obligation to pay any underwriting fees, discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of Request Securities, as the case may be, by Purchaser, or, except as otherwise provided in the immediately preceding sentence, any out-of-pocket expenses of Purchaser (or any agents who manage their accounts) or fees and disbursements of any counsel for Purchaser. 6.4 INDEMNIFICATION REGARDING REGISTRATION RIGHTS. (a) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company shall indemnify Purchaser and, if applicable, its officers and directors and each Person who controls Purchaser (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, preliminary prospectus or definitive prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by Purchaser specifically for use in the preparation thereof or by Purchaser's failure, if required, to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished Purchaser with a sufficient number of copies of the same. (b) INDEMNIFICATION BY PURCHASER. In connection with any registration statement in which Purchaser is participating, Purchaser shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, preliminary prospectus or definitive prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in information furnished by Purchaser to the Company specifically for use in the preparation of such registration statement or prospectus. (c) PROCEDURE. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will: (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification, provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure; and (b) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the 22 indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. (d) SURVIVAL. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of securities. (e) CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.4 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to the indemnified party, then the indemnifying party, instead of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to and pay the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage, liability or expenses (collectively, the "Claim") giving rise to indemnification hereunder in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying and indemnified party in connection with the actions which gave rise to the Claim. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the action in question has been made by, or relates to, information supplied by such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties' relevant intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The Company and Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution and payment pursuant to this Section 6.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other allocation method which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentence. The amount paid or payable as a result of a Claim shall include any legal or other fees and expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with such Claim. However, no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contributions and payment from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 6.5 PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. No Person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Person: (a) agrees to sell its securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements reasonably approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements; and (b) accurately completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents customarily required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 6.6 RULE 144. The Company shall file, on a timely basis, any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so as to enable a Purchaser to sell the Piggyback Registrable Securities and Demand Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by: (a) Rule 144 under the 23 Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time; or (b) any similar rule adopted by the Commission. ARTICLE VII TAG ALONG RIGHTS AND BRING ALONG RIGHTS 7.1 TAG ALONG RIGHT. With respect to any proposed transfer of shares of Common Stock by Berg or Tessier to a third party (the "Third Party"), Berg and Tessier shall not be permitted to effect such a transfer without first offering Purchaser the right to sell its shares of Common Stock, pro rata with Berg and/or Tessier, to the Third Party, at the same price per share and upon the same terms and conditions of the proposed transfer by Berg or Tessier. However the "tag along" rights granted under this Section 7.1 shall not apply to: (a) the first 800,000 shares of Common Stock which are sold by Berg and/or Tessier after the date hereof; (b) shares of Common Stock which are sold by Berg and/or Tessier after the date hereof in accordance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, unless such shares are sold in a block (as such term is defined in Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act. In this regard, each of Tessier and Berg shall promptly notify Purchaser of any such disposition of shares which is not subject to the "tag along" rights granted hereunder pursuant to subsection (a) of the preceding sentence. Furthermore, Purchaser shall not be able to exercise its rights under this Section 7.1 with regard to any of its shares of Common Stock, if such shares are not registered with the SEC and Purchaser previously failed to exercise its right to register such shares in a Piggyback Registration. 7.2 BRING ALONG RIGHT. If Berg or Tessier, or both (collectively, the "Principals") receive a bona fide offer from an unaffiliated third party (the "Third Party Offer") to purchase (for cash or securities) all of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock and the Principals wish to accept such offer, then the Principals shall, within ten (10) days of accepting the Third Party Offer, notify Purchaser, in writing, of such offer. Upon receipt of such notice, Purchaser shall then sell shares of Common Stock, pro rata with Berg and/or Tessier, at the same price per share and upon the same terms and conditions of the Third Party Offer. However, the bring along rights granted hereunder shall not be available to Berg or Tessier unless, the exercise of such right, would cause the Purchaser to receive an amount from the unaffiliated party equal to at least four (4) times the Purchase Price. The "bring along" rights granted in this Section 7.2 shall expire on the third anniversary hereof. ARTICLE VIII PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS AND ANTI DILUTION RIGHTS 8.1 PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS. (a) GRANT OF RIGHT. If the Company proposes to and does issue (the "Third Party Issuance") additional shares of Voting Stock or any Rights to acquire Voting Stock, to any Person, other than Purchaser or its respective Affiliates, then Purchaser shall have the right (the "Preemptive Right") to purchase shares of Voting Stock or Rights, as the case may be, so that, 24 immediately after such purchase and the Third Party Issuance, Purchaser shall own the same percentage of shares of the Company's issued and outstanding Voting Stock (or the right to own such percentage), as it had owned prior to the proposed Third Party Issuance. (b) PROCEDURE. The Company shall give Purchaser ten (10) Business Day's prior written notice of any proposed issuance of Voting Stock or Rights which would entitle Purchaser to exercise the Preemptive Right. Upon receipt of such notice, Purchaser shall have ten (10) Business Days (the "Exercise Period") to exercise the Preemptive Right. If by the expiration of the Exercise Period, Purchaser notifies the Company that it does not wish to exercise the Preemptive Right or has failed to give a notice to the Company, then the Company may continue with and effect the proposed Third Party Issuance. If Purchaser chooses to exercise the Preemptive Right during the Exercise Period, the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to issue such Voting Shares or Rights to Purchaser in accordance with this Section, and may continue with and effect the proposed Third Party Issuance. (c) EXERCISE PRICE. In connection with the exercise of the Preemptive Right: (i) the exercise price shall be the same price at which the shares of Voting Stock or Rights are being issued pursuant to the Third Party Issuance; and (ii) the terms and conditions of the purchase shall be, as nearly as reasonably practicable, the same as the terms and conditions of the Third Party Issuance. If all or part of the Third Party Issuance offering price consists of any consideration other than cash, then the per share, or per Right, price at which Purchaser is offered the Preemptive Right shall be the amount determined by dividing the total number of Voting Stock or Rights which are the subject of the Third Party Issuance into the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of cash, if any, proposed to be paid for such securities; and (ii) the aggregate fair market value of the non-cash consideration proposed to be paid for such securities (taking into account, in determining such fair market value, any liabilities associated with such non-cash consideration). (d) EXCEPTIONS. If the Third Party Issuance involves the borrowing of money from the proposed purchaser, then Purchaser shall not have the Preemptive Right with regard to such Third Party Issuance unless Purchaser agrees to participate in such debt financing, on a pro rata basis and pursuant to the same terms and conditions. Furthermore, the Preemptive Rights shall not apply to any public offering of securities by the Company which is registered with the SEC. 8.2 ANTI-DILUTION RIGHTS. (a) RIGHT. Promptly after each Dilutive Issuance, the Company shall issue to Purchaser without the payment of any additional consideration by Purchaser, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock calculated by: (i) multiplying (A) the Weighted Average Price, calculated after giving effect to such Dilutive Issuance, by (B) the lesser of (x) the aggregate number of Dilution Shares, if any, issued, or deemed to be issued, in such Dilutive Issuance and in all prior Dilutive 25 Issuances (if any) and (y) the number of shares issued to Purchaser on the date hereof (the "Current Number"); (ii) adding to the resulting product, the product of (A) $0.63 (the "Per Share Purchase Price") multiplied by (B) either (x) if the number of Dilution Shares issued, or deemed to be issued, in such Dilutive Issuance and in all prior Dilutive Issuances (if any) is less than the Current Number, the excess of the Current Number over the number of Dilution Shares; or (y) if the number of Dilution Shares is equal to, or greater than, the Current Number, zero (0); (iii) dividing the resulting sum by the Current Number; (iv) dividing the Purchase Price by the quotient resulting from the division referred to in (iii); and (v) subtracting from the resulting quotient the sum of (A) the Current Number plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock, if any previously issued to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 8.2. (b) ISSUANCES IN CONNECTION WITH OTHER ISSUANCES. If the Company issues shares of Common Stock or Rights for shares of Common Stock in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company or in connection with the delivery by the Company of any other property or assets, which together comprise one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such shares or Rights, then such shares or Rights shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration. (c) ISSUANCES FOR CASH. If the Company issues, for cash, any shares of Common Stock or any Rights for shares of Common Stock, the consideration received shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor, after deduction of any accrued interest, dividends or any expenses incurred in any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith. (d) ISSUANCES FOR NON-CASH CONSIDERATION. If the Company issues, for non-cash consideration, any shares of Common Stock or any Rights for shares of Common Stock, the amount of the non-cash consideration shall be deemed the fair market value of such non-cash consideration on the date of issue of the securities, as reasonably determined by the Board, less any expenses or liabilities incurred by the Company in connection therewith. (e) ISSUANCES IN CONNECTION WITH MERGERS OR CONSOLIDATIONS. If the Company issues any shares of Common Stock or any Rights for shares of Common Stock, in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration shall be deemed to be the fair market value of the portion of the assets and business of the non-surviving corporation acquired in connection with such merger or consolidation, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board. In the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, 26 the Company shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of Common Stock for stock or securities of the other corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated and for a consideration equal to the fair market value, on the date of such transaction, of such stock or securities of the other corporation. (f) STOCK-SPLITS. If the Company subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Per Share Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such division shall be proportionately reduced. Conversely, if the Company combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Per Share Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. (g) NON-CIRCUMVENTION. The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, engage or participate in any transaction or otherwise by any act or omission (including amending its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, or the issue or sale of securities) avoid or attempt to avoid the observance and performance of the provisions of Section 8.1 or 8.2. Instead, the Company shall carry out all such terms and provisions, in good faith, and take all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the rights and benefits intended to be conferred in Section 8.1 and 8.2. (h) FULLY PAID; NO ENCUMBRANCES. All shares of Common Stock issued to Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.2, shall, when issued, be: (A) duly authorized, valid issued and outstanding,and fully paid and non-assessable; and (B) be free from all Encumbrances. (i) DOCUMENTARY TAX STAMPS. The Company shall pay any for any documentary tax stamps required in connection with any issue of shares of Common Stock to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 8.2. (j) NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not issue any fractional shares in connection with any issuance pursuant to this Section 8.2. Instead, to the extent that the calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 8.2 would result in the issuance of a fractional share, then the number of shares issued to Purchaser shall be rounded to the nearest number of whole shares. 8.3 RACHET RIGHT. (a) Depending on the Company's after tax earnings, as determined in accordance with GAAP and for the year ending December 31, 1997, the Company shall issue to Purchaser, for no additional consideration, the following number of shares of Common Stock: 27 AFTER TAX EARNINGS NO.

A Notice of Claim shall be given with respect to all Indemnification Claims.

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend a Third Party Claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its agents and representatives all records and other materials in its possession which are reasonably required in the defense of the Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall pay any expenses payable in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim as they are incurred (whether incurred by the Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party). (iii) In no event may the Indemnifying Party settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. (iv) If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, at the Indemnified Party's expense (and without the right to indemnification for such expense under this Agreement). However, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if: (A) the use of the counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (B) the parties to such proceeding include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; (C) within 10 days after being advised by the Indemnifying Party of the identity of counsel to be retained to represent the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party objects to the retention of such counsel for valid reasons (which shall be stated in a written notice to Indemnifying Party), and the Indemnifying Party does not retain different counsel reasonably satisfactory to the 31 Indemnified Party; or (D) the Indemnifying Party authorizes the Indemnified Party to retain separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. (v) If the Indemnifying Party does elect to defend a Third Party Claim, or does not defend a Third Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party may, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have hereunder, at the sole and exclusive expense of the Indemnifying Party, defend such Third Party Claim. However, such expenses shall be payable by the Indemnifying Party only if and when such Third Party Claim becomes payable. (vi) To the extent that an Indemnified Party recovers on a Third Party Claim, the amount of such recovery (after deduction of all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Third Party Claim) shall reduce, dollar-for-dollar, the indemnification obligation otherwise owing by the Indemnifying Party. (c) COOPERATION IN DEFENSE. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of a Third Party Claim. Subject to the foregoing, (i) the Indemnified Party shall not have any obligation to participate in the defense of or to defend any Third Party Claim, and (ii) the Indemnified Party's defense of or its participation in the defense of any Third Party Claim shall not in any way diminish or lessen its right to indemnification as provided in this Agreement.

The Payee shall have the same piggyback registration, demand registration, tag along and bring along rights, regarding the Converted Shares, as are contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement. 6. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES AND CONVERSION PRICE. (a) CONVERSION PRICE (i) GENERAL. (A) In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights granted under this Note, the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to this Section 6(a). (B) If the Company issues or sells or, in accordance with Section 6(a)(ii) hereof, is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issuance or sale (except for the issuance or deemed issuance of securities in a transaction described in Section 6(a)(i)(C)), then immediately upon each such issuance or sale the Conversion Price shall be reduced to a price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance or sale by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number 4 of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding prior to the issuance or sale and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock that the amount receivable by the Company upon such issuance or sale on that occasion would purchase at the initial Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding and Common Stock Deemed Outstanding under Subsection 6(a)(ii) immediately after such issuance or sale. (C) The existence and any exercise of any option, warrant, or other right to purchase Common Stock, that is outstanding on the date hereof shall be excluded from the operation of Paragraph (B) of this Subsection 6(a)(i) and from the operation of Subsection 6(a)(ii) (ii) EFFECT ON EXERCISE PRICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under Subsection 6(a)(i) above, the following provisions shall be applicable: (A) ISSUANCE OF RIGHTS AND OPTIONS. If the Company in any manner grants any rights or options to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or any stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such rights or options being herein called "Options" and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called "Convertible Securities") and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For purposes of this paragraph, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities" shall be determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon exercise of all such Options plus, in the case of Options that relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options and upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options. (B) ISSUANCE OF CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issuance or sale, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For purposes of this paragraph, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange" shall be determined by dividing (i) the total 5 amount received by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. (C) CHANGE IN OPTION PRICE AND CONVERSION RATE. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange or any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be reduced to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration, or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. (D) CALCULATION OF CONSIDERATION RECEIVED. If any Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for consideration that includes unrestricted cash, then the amount of cash consideration actually received by the Company shall be deemed to be the full monetary value of the unrestricted cash portion thereof. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for a consideration part or all of which is other than unrestricted cash, then the amount of the consideration other than unrestricted cash received by the Company shall be deemed to be in the Fair Value of such consideration. (E) INTEGRATED TRANSACTIONS. If any Option is issued in connection with the issuance or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Option by the parties thereto, the Option shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration. (F) TREASURY SHARES. The number of shares of Stock Deemed Outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held shall be considered an issuance or sale of Common Stock. (iii) SUBDIVISION AND COMBINATION OF COMMON STOCK; STOCK DIVIDENDS. If the Company shall at any time after the date hereof (a) issue any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities, or any rights to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities as a dividend upon Stock, (b) issue any shares of Common Stock in subdivision of outstanding shares of Common Stock by reclassification, stock split or otherwise, or (c) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock by reclassification, stock split or otherwise, then the Conversion Price that would apply if purchase rights hereunder were being exercised immediately prior to such action by the Company shall be reduced only by multiplying it by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such dividend, subdivision or combination and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares 6 of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such dividend, subdivision or combination. (iv) CERTAIN DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Company declares a dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock payable otherwise than out of earnings or earned surplus AND otherwise than in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by an amount equal, in the case of a dividend or distribution in cash, to the amount thereof payable per share of the Stock or, in the case of any other dividend or distribution, to the Fair Value of such dividend or distribution per share of Common Stock. For purposes of the foregoing, a dividend or distribution other than in cash shall be considered payable out of earnings or earned surplus only to the extent that such earnings or earned surplus are charged an amount equal to the Fair Value of such dividend or distribution. Such reductions shall take effect as of the date on which a record is taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution, of, if a record is not taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock or record entitled to such dividend or distribution are to be determined. (v) MANNER OF CALCULATING ADJUSTMENTS; NO DE MINIMIS ADJUSTMENTS. The calculation of each adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made accurate to the nearest ten- thousandth. No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one cent per share. In such case any adjustment that otherwise would be required to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment that, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than one cent per share. (b) ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE. Upon each reduction of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, the Payee shall thereafter (until another such reduction) be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price in effect on the date the conversion rights under this Note are exercised, the number of shares of Common Stock, calculated to the nearest whole number of Common Stock, determined by (a) multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder immediately prior to the reduction of the Conversion Price by the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such reduction, and (b) dividing the product so obtained by the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such exercise. 7.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall: (a) not increase the par value of any shares of Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise; (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant; and (c) obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant. ARTICLE VI RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF WARRANT The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance, sale and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, a number of shares of Stock equal to the number of full shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. To the extent that at any time there is not a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares of Stock then existing to provide a number of shares of Stock equal to the number of full shares of Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall take all such actions which are necessary to provide for the authorization of a number of additional shares of Stock of the Company such that the number of shares of Stock reserved by the Company for issuance, sale and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant is equal to the number of full shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. To the extent that the Holder hereof is a stockholder of the Company at the time the Company seeks approval of its stockholders for the authorization of additional shares of Stock for the purposes contemplated in the preceding sentence, the Holder hereof agrees to vote its shares for the authorization by the Company of such additional shares of Stock as shall be necessary in order to provide the number of full shares available to the Company for issuance of the full number of shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant to the contrary, to the extent that as of the stated termination date of the Exercise Period the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares of Stock available to provide the full number of shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Exercise Period shall not terminate but shall continue to be effective until 5:00 P.M., Miami, Florida time, on the date which is thirty (30) days following the date upon which the Company has again reserved a number of shares of Stock which are sufficient to provide the full number of shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. All shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be, when issued upon such exercise: (a) duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; (b) free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof other than any stock transfer taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue; and (c) free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, charges, equities, rights and claims whatsoever. 5 ARTICLE VII ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE 7.1 EXERCISE PRICE (a) GENERAL. (i) In order to prevent dilution of the rights granted under this Warrant, the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to this Section 7.1 (ii) If the Company issues or sells or, in accordance with Section 7.1(b) hereof, is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Stock for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issuance or sale (except for the issuance or deemed issuance of securities in a transaction described in Section 7.1(a)(iii)), then immediately upon each such issuance or sale the Exercise Price shall be reduced to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance or sale by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of shares of Stock actually outstanding prior to the issuance or sale and (ii) the number of shares of Stock that the amount receivable by the Company upon such issuance or sale on that occasion would purchase at the initial Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Stock actually outstanding and Stock Deemed Outstanding under Subsection 7.1(b) immediately after such issuance or sale. (iii) The existence and any exercise of any option, warrant, or other right to purchase Stock, that is outstanding on the date hereof shall be excluded from the operation of Paragraph (b) of this Subsection 7.1(a) and from the operation of Subsection 7.2(b) (b) EFFECT ON EXERCISE PRICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Subsection 7.1(a) above, the following provisions shall be applicable: (i) ISSUANCE OF RIGHTS AND OPTIONS. If the Company in any manner grants any rights or options to subscribe for or to purchase Stock or any stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Stock (such rights or options being herein called "Options" and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called "Convertible Securities") and the price per share for which Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Options, then the total maximum number of shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For purposes of this paragraph, the "price per share for which Stock is issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities" shall be determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received by 6 the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon exercise of all such Options plus, in the case of Options that relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options and upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options. (ii) ISSUANCE OF CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, and the price per share for which Stock is issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issuance or sale, then the maximum number of shares of Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For purposes of this paragraph, the "price per share for which Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange" shall be determined by dividing (i) the total amount received by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. (iii) CHANGE IN OPTION PRICE AND CONVERSION RATE. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange or any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Stock changes at any time, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be reduced to the Exercise Price that would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration, or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. (iv) CALCULATION OF CONSIDERATION RECEIVED. If any Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for consideration that includes unrestricted cash, then the amount of cash consideration actually received by the Company shall be deemed to be the full monetary value of the unrestricted cash portion thereof. If any Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for a consideration part or all of which is other than unrestricted cash, then the amount of the consideration other than unrestricted cash received by the Company shall be deemed to be in the Fair Value of such consideration. (v) INTEGRATED TRANSACTIONS. If any Option is issued in connection with the issuance or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Option by the parties thereto, the Option shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration. (vi) TREASURY SHARES. The number of shares of Stock Deemed Outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of 7 the Company, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held shall be considered an issuance or sale of Stock. (c) SUBDIVISION AND COMBINATION OF STOCK; STOCK DIVIDENDS. If the Company shall at any time after the date hereof (a) issue any shares of Stock or Convertible Securities, or any rights to purchase Stock or Convertible Securities as a dividend upon Stock, (b) issue any shares of Stock in subdivision of outstanding shares of Stock by reclassification, stock split or otherwise, or (c) combine outstanding shares of Stock by reclassification, stock split or otherwise, then the Exercise Price that would apply if purchase rights hereunder were being exercised immediately prior to such action by the Company shall be reduced only by multiplying it by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such dividend, subdivision or combination and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such dividend, subdivision or combination. (d) CERTAIN DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Company declares a dividend or distribution upon the Stock payable otherwise than out of earnings or earned surplus AND otherwise than in Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, the Exercise Price shall be reduced by an amount equal, in the case of a dividend or distribution in cash, to the amount thereof payable per share of the Stock or, in the case of any other dividend or distribution, to the Fair Value of such dividend or distribution per share of Stock. For purposes of the foregoing, a dividend or distribution other than in cash shall be considered payable out of earnings or earned surplus only to the extent that such earnings or earned surplus are charged an amount equal to the Fair Value of such dividend or distribution. Such reductions shall take effect as of the date on which a record is taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution, of, if a record is not taken, the date as of which the holders of Stock or record entitled to such dividend or distribution are to be determined. (e) MANNER OF CALCULATING ADJUSTMENTS; NO DE MINIMIS ADJUSTMENTS. The calculation of each adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made accurate to the nearest ten- thousandth. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one cent per share. In such case any adjustment that otherwise would be required to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment that, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than one cent per share. 7.2 ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE. Upon each reduction of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, the Holder shall thereafter (until another such reduction) be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price in effect on the date purchase rights under this Warrant are exercised, the number of shares of Stock, calculated to the nearest whole number of Stock, determined by (a) multiplying the number of shares of Stock purchasable hereunder immediately prior to the reduction of the Exercise Price by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such reduction, and (b) dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise. 8 ARTICLE VIII REGISTRATION RIGHTS 8.1 PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS. (a) RIGHT TO PIGGYBACK. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.1(e) below, whenever the Company, in its sole discretion, proposes to file a registration statement (a "Proposed Registration") under the Securities Act with respect to any equity security (as defined in the Securities Act) (other than a registration statement on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor form for the registration of securities to be offered in a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or to employees of, and/or consultants and advisors to, the Company and/or its subsidiaries pursuant to any "employee benefit plan," as such term is defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration (a "Piggyback Registration") of Piggyback Registrable Securities, the Company will give written notice (the "Piggyback Notice") to the Holder as soon as practicable (but in no event less than thirty days) before the initial filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of such registration statement, which notice will (i) specify the kind and number of securities proposed to be registered and the proposed offering price or prices and distribution arrangements; (ii) include such other information that at the time and under the circumstances would be appropriate to include in such notice; and (iii) subject to the provisions of this Section 1, offer the Holder the opportunity to include in such filing all Piggyback Registrable Securities which the Holder may request in accordance with subsection 8.1(b) below. (b) REQUESTS TO PIGGYBACK. The Holder shall advise the Company in writing (a "Piggyback Registration Request") within twenty days after the date of receipt of the Piggyback Notice of the number or amount of each class or series of Piggyback Registrable Securities which the Holder desires to have registered. (c) SELECTION OF UNDERWRITERS. If the Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering, the Board of Directors of the Company will select a managing underwriter or underwriters to administer the offering. (d) PIGGYBACK EXPENSES. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.1(e) hereof, all Registration Expenses of the Piggyback Registration will be paid solely by the Company. (e) LIMITATIONS ON PIGGYBACK RIGHTS. The Holder will be entitled to request four (4) Piggyback Registrations. A registration will not count as the permitted Piggyback Registrations until it has become effective, and no registration will count as the permitted Piggyback Registration unless the Holder is able to register and sell at least 55% of the Piggyback Registration Securities requested to be included in such registration. The exercise of a Piggyback Registration shall not affect the Holder's Demand Registration rights under Section 8.2 hereof. The Holder shall not be permitted to exercise its Piggyback Registration rights with regard to any underwritten Piggyback Registration where a first or second tier underwriter, or 9 underwriters, provides the Holder with a reasonable determination, in writing that the amount or kind of the Holder's Shares to be included in such offering would materially and adversely affect the success of all securities proposed to be distributed for the account of the Company in such offering. 8.2 DEMAND REGISTRATION RIGHTS. (a) REQUESTS FOR REGISTRATION. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.2(d) hereof, the Holder may request registration under the Securities Act of all or part of its Demand Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or any other registration form available for use by the Company (a "Demand Registration"). The request for a Demand Registration shall specify the number of Demand Registrable Securities requested to be registered and the anticipated per share price range for such offering. However, the Company may postpone, for a reasonable period of time not to exceed 90 days (but in any event not to extend beyond the date of public disclosure of the information, or the date of abandonment or termination of the transactions or negotiations, hereinafter referred to), the filing of a registration statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant to this subsection 8.2(a) if: (i) at the time the Company receives a registration request, the Board determines, in good faith and in its reasonable business judgment, that (A) such Demand Registration would require the public disclosure of material non-public information concerning any pending or ongoing material transaction or negotiations involving the Company which, in the opinion of the Company's outside legal counsel, is not yet required to be publicly disclosed, and (B) such disclosure would materially interfere with such transaction or negotiations or have a material adverse effect on the Company, and (ii) the Company diligently and in good faith continues to pursue such transaction or negotiations throughout the period of such postponement. (b) SELECTION OF UNDERWRITERS. If the Demand Registration is for or includes an underwritten offering, the Holder shall select the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer such offering, who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. (c) DEMAND EXPENSES. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.2(d) hereof, the Company shall pay for all Registration Expenses relating to the Demand Registration. (d) LIMITATIONS ON DEMAND RIGHTS. The Holder may only request one (1) Demand Registration. A registration will not count as the permitted Demand Registration: (a) until it has become effective; and (b) unless the Holder is able to register and sell at least 55% of the Demand Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration. After the Demand Registrable Securities have been registered, the Holder shall have no obligation to sell any or all of such securities. For a period of three (3) years from the date hereof, the Holder may not request a Demand Registration if, at the time of such request, none of the Company's equity securities are publicly traded. However, after the period ending three (3) years from the date hereof, the Holder may request a Demand Registration at any time, even if none of the Company's equity securities are then publicly traded. 8.3 PROCEDURE. With respect to any Piggyback Registration or Demand Registration, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration of all the Piggyback Registrable 10 Securities or Demand Registrable Securities, as the case may be (collectively, the Request Securities"), which the Holder has requested to be included therein, as quickly as practicable. In connection with any such request, the Company shall do the following as expeditiously as possible: (i) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies and which is available for the registration of the Request Securities; (ii) include in the registration on such form all the Request Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that at least ten days before filing such registration statement or any prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including documents to be incorporated by reference upon or after the initial filing of such registration statement, the Company will furnish to the Holder copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (including documents to be incorporated by reference therein), which documents will be subject to the reasonable review and comments of the Holder; (iii) unless the Company qualifies to use a Form S-3 registration statement or any similar form then in effect, prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments and supplements to the registration statement or any prospectus as may be necessary to keep the registration statement effective for a period of not more than one hundred and eighty (180) days and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act applicable to the Company with respect to the disposition of all the Request Securities, covered by such registration statement or any supplement to any such prospectus; (iv) if the Company qualifies to use a Form S-3 registration statement or any similar form then in effect and if the Company receives a request for a Demand Registration, prepare and file with the Commission such registration statement to permit the offering of the Demand Registrable Securities to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission) under the Securities Act (a "Shelf Registration") and keep the Shelf Registration current and continuously effective until the Holder can sell all of the Demand Registrable Securities; (v) furnish to the Holder such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement and such other documents as the Holder may reasonably request; (vi) use its best efforts to register or qualify such Request Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdiction as the Holder reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdiction (provided that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction); 11 (vii) notify the Holder at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of the Holder, the Company will prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to subsequent purchasers of such Request Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (viii) cause all such Request Securities, to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and, if not so listed, to be listed on one of the following (in order of priority and assuming that the Company qualifies for such listing): (A) the New York Stock Exchange, (B) the American Stock Exchange; (C) the NASDAQ National Market System; or (D) the NASDAQ SmallCap Market System; (ix) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Request Securities, not later than the effective date of such registration statement; (x) enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the Holder or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Request Securities, (including, without limitation, effecting a stock split or a combination of shares); (xi) make available for inspection by the Holder, any underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the "Records") to the extent reasonably necessary to enable such person to exercise their due diligence responsibilities and cause the Company's officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement. Records and other information which the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and of which determination the Holder is notified shall not be disclosed by the Holder unless (i) the disclosure of such Records or other information, in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company, is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, any prospectus or prospectus supplement, or (ii) the release of such Records or other information is ordered pursuant to subpoena, court order or request by a governmental authority or otherwise is required by applicable law or (iii) the information in such Records or such other information is generally available to the public. the Holder shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction or by governmental authority, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the expense of the Company, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential; (xii) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any 12 related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any common stock included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, use its reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order; (xiii) use its best efforts to obtain a "cold comfort" letter from the independent public accountants of the Company which is addressed to the Holder and any underwriters and contains such matters of the type customarily covered by "cold comfort" letters; and (xiv) use its best efforts to obtain an opinion from counsel for the Company which is addressed to the Holder and the underwriter and contains such matters of the type customarily covered by counsel for the issuer of securities. (a) AFFIDAVITS OF THE HOLDER. With respect to any Piggyback Registration or Demand Registration, the Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with the registration of the Request Securities. (b) PUBLIC SALE BY THE COMPANY AND OTHERS. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates (other than the Holder, if deemed to be an Affiliate) will effect any public sale or distribution of any securities of any class or series being registered in a Piggyback Registration or Demand Registration for offering to the public, any similar security issued by the issuer of such class or series or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any such security during, in the case of a Piggyback Registration, the fourteen (14) days prior to, and during the ninety (90) day period beginning on, the effective date of the Piggyback Registration (except as part of such registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to either such form) and, in the case of any Demand Registration, the period commencing on the date of filing the Demand Registration and ending on the 120th day following the effective date of the Demand Registration. (c) REGISTRATION EXPENSES. The Company shall pay for all costs and expenses ("Registration Expenses") of each registration hereunder, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) registration and filing fees, (ii) fees and expenses relating to the Company's compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications), (iii) expenses incident to the preparation, printing and filing of the registration statement, each preliminary prospectus and definitive prospectus and each amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing and copies thereof, (iv) internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of officers and employees of the Company performing legal or accounting duties), (v) fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Request Securities, (vi) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and expenses of independent certified public accountants retained by the Company, (vii) fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration, (viii) fees and expenses associated with any filings with or submission to the NASD (including, if applicable, the fees and expenses of any "qualified independent underwriters," as such term is defined in Schedule E of the By-laws of the NASD, and its counsel), (ix) fees of each investment banking firm required to be retained or consulted 13 pursuant to the terms hereof; and (x) fees and disbursements of one law firm for the underwriters, in any underwritten offering. The Company shall not have any obligation to pay any underwriting fees, discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of Request Securities, as the case may be, by the Holder, or, except as otherwise provided in the immediately preceding sentence, any out-of-pocket expenses of the Holder (or any agents who manage their accounts) or fees and disbursements of any counsel for the Holder. 8.4 INDEMNIFICATION REGARDING REGISTRATION RIGHTS. (a) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company shall indemnify the Holder and, if applicable, its officers and directors and each Person who controls the Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, preliminary prospectus or definitive prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by the Holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof or by the Holder's failure, if required, to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished the Holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. (b) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE HOLDER. In connection with any registration statement in which the Holder is participating, the Holder shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, preliminary prospectus or definitive prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in information furnished by the Holder to the Company specifically for use in the preparation of such registration statement or prospectus. (c) PROCEDURE. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will: (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification, provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure; and (b) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any 14 indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. (d) SURVIVAL. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of securities. (e) CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8.4 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to the indemnified party, then the indemnifying party, instead of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to and pay the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage, liability or expenses (collectively, the "Claim") giving rise to indemnification hereunder in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying and indemnified party in connection with the actions which gave rise to the Claim. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the action in question has been made by, or relates to, information supplied by such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties' relevant intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The Company and the Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution and payment pursuant to this Section 8.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other allocation method which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentence. The amount paid or payable as a result of a Claim shall include any legal or other fees and expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with such Claim. However, no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contributions and payment from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 8.5 PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. No Person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Person: (a) agrees to sell its securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements reasonably approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements; and (b) accurately completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents customarily required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 8.6 RULE 144. The Company shall file, on a timely basis, any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so as to enable a the Holder to sell the Piggyback Registrable Securities and Demand Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by: (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time; or (b) any similar rule adopted by the Commission. 15 ARTICLE X TAG ALONG AND BRING ALONG RIGHTS 9.1 TAG ALONG RIGHT. With respect to any proposed transfer of shares of Stock by Peter Berg ("Berg") or Yannick Tessier ("Tessier") to a third party (the "Third Party"), Berg and Tessier shall not be permitted to effect such a transfer without first offering Holder the right to sell its Warrant Shares, pro rata with Berg and/or Tessier, to the Third Party, at the same price per share and upon the same terms and conditions of the proposed transfer by Berg or Tessier. Section 9.1 shall not apply to: (a) the first 800,000 shares of Stock which are sold by Berg and/or Tessier after the date hereof; or (b) shares of Stock which are sold by Berg and/or Tessier after the date hereof in accordance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, unless such shares are sold in a block (as such term is defined in Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act. In this regard, each of Tessier and Berg shall promptly notify the Holder of any such disposition of shares which is not subject to the "tag along" rights granted hereunder pursuant to subsection (a) of the preceding sentence. Furthermore, the Holder shall not be able to exercise its rights under this Section 9.1 with regard to any of its shares of Common Stock, if such shares are not registered with the SEC and the Holder previously failed to exercise its right to register such shares in a Piggyback Registration. 9.2 BRING ALONG RIGHT. If Berg or Tessier, or both (collectively, the "Principals") receive a bona fide offer from an unaffiliated third party (the "Third Party Offer") to purchase (for cash or securities) all of the then outstanding shares of Stock and the Principals wish to accept such offer, then the Principals shall, within ten (10) days of accepting the Third Party Offer, notify the Holder, in writing (the "Bring Along Notice"), of such offer. Upon receipt of such notice, the Holder shall then sell Warrant Shares, pro rata with Berg and/or Tessier, at the same price per share and upon the same terms and conditions of the Third Party Offer. However, the bring along rights granted hereunder shall not be available to Berg or Tessier unless, the exercise of such right, would cause the Holder to receive, at a minimum, an amount from the unaffiliated party equal to the product of: (x) the number of Warrant Shares then held by the Holder (including any Warrant Shares resulting from any exercise of this Warrant by the Holder upon receiving the Bring Along Right Notice), multiplied by (y) the Exercise Price (as adjusted pursuant to Article VII hereof) multiplied by four (4). The "bring along" rights granted in this Section 9.2 shall expire on the third anniversary hereof. ARTICLE X MISCELLANEOUS 10.1 NONWAIVER. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of the Holder or the Company shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the rights, powers or remedies of the Holder or the Company. 10.2 NOTICE GENERALLY. Any notice, demand or delivery to be made pursuant to or in connection with this Warrant shall be sufficiently given or made if sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to (a) the Holder at its last known address appearing on the books or register of the Company maintained for such purpose or (b) the Company at its principal office 16 referred to in Section 2.3. The Holder and the Company may each designate a different address by written notice to the other pursuant to this Section 10.2. 10.3 PAYMENT OF CERTAIN EXPENSES. Except as otherwise provided in this Warrant, the Company and the Holder shall each pay their respective expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed in respect of, the issue, sale and delivery of the shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant or this Warrant. 10.4 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

EX-10.10 24 EXHIBIT 10.10 GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN 1. PURPOSES. The GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN (the "Plan") is intended to provide the employees (including employees who are also directors), independent contractors and consultants of GALACTICOMM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") with an added incentive to provide their services to the Company and to encourage them to exert their maximum efforts toward the Company's success. Therefore, the Plan will benefit the Company and its stockholders by attracting, retaining and motivating qualified and competent persons who are key to the Company. The Plan allows the Company to grant Incentive Stock Options ("ISOs") (as defined in Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")), and Non-Qualified Stock Options ("NQSOs"), not intended to qualify under Code Section 422(b) (ISOs and NQSOs granted under the Plan are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Options"), to the Company's employees, directors, independent contractors and consultants. 2. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN. Subject to adjustment under Section 8 hereof, 1,502,856 shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), are subject to Options. While the Plan is in effect, the Company shall at all times reserve 1,502,856 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment under Section 8 hereof) for the satisfaction of Options. If an Option: (i) expires or terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full, or (ii) ceases for any reason to be exercisable in whole or in part, the unpurchased shares subject to the Option shall again be available for the granting of Options. In a given fiscal year, the maximum number of Options that can be granted to a single person shall be limited to 150,286 Options, as adjusted for future stock dividends or stock splits. Furthermore, such limitation shall not be deemed exceeded if after the grant date of Options, the Company effectuates a stock split or stock dividend which results in an adjustment to the number of Options previously granted. The foregoing limitation is intended to comply with Code Section 162(m). To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors") or Committee (as hereinafter defined), fails to comply with Section 162(m), it shall be deemed null and void to the extent required by statute and to the extent deemed advisable by the Board of Directors or the Committee. 3. ELIGIBILITY. (a) The Company may grant ISOs to one or more Company employees. A Company officer is an employee for the above purpose. (b) The Company may grant NQSOs to one or more Company employees, officers, members of the Board of Directors, independent contractors, consultants and other individuals who are not Company employees, but who are involved in the continuing development and success of the Company. (c) Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Plan to the contrary, no person who beneficially owns more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock (as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) is eligible to receive Options. 4. PLAN ADMINISTRATION. (a) COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. The Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors shall administer the Plan. The Board of Directors shall appoint the members of the Committee which, in accordance with Code Section 162(m), shall include at least two outside directors (as described under Rule 16b-3, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act")). If the Committee does not include at least two outside directors, any Option granted shall not be automatically null and void, except as otherwise provided herein. Within the Plan's express limits, the Committee may: (i) determine: (A) the individuals to whom Options are granted; (B) the times at which the Options are granted; (C) whether granted options are to be ISOs or NQSOs; and (D) the number of shares of Common Stock which are subject to each Option; (ii) interpret the Plan to: (A) prescribe, amend and rescind Plan rules and regulations; (B) determine Option agreement terms and provisions, subject to the limitation that option agreements granting ISOs must comply with the requirements for the ISOs being qualified as "incentive stock options" under Code Section 422; and (iii) make all other determinations and take all other actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. In making the above determinations, the Committee may consider the nature of the services rendered by such individuals, their present and potential contributions to the Company's success, and such other factors as the Committee deem relevant. The Committee's determinations regarding the matters referred to in this Section shall be conclusive. (b) SECTION 16. The Committee shall have the exclusive right to grant Options to persons subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act and set forth the terms and conditions of such Options. With respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act, transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3, as amended (and its successor provisions, if any), under the 1934 Act. If any Plan provision or action by the Board of Directors or Committee does not comply with Rule 16b-3, it shall be deemed null and void to the extent required by law and to the extent deemed advisable by the Board of Directors or the Committee. 5. TERMS OF OPTIONS. Within the express limits of the Plan's provisions, the Committee may grant either ISOs or NQSOs. An ISO or an NQSO enables the optionee to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock from the Company at a specified price 2 (the "Option Price"), at any time during a specified exercise period. The Committee shall determine the terms of each Option, consistent with the Plan's provisions, including the following: (a) TERM OF OPTION GRANTED. An Option must be granted within 10 years from the earlier of: (i) the date the Plan is adopted; or (ii) the date the Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company, whichever is earlier. (b) ISO OPTION PRICE. (i) The Option Price of the shares of Common Stock subject to each ISO shall not be less than the fair market value of such shares of Common Stock as of the time such ISO is granted. However, if an ISO is granted to an individual who, immediately before the ISO is to be granted, owns (directly or through attribution) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of the Company, the Option Price of the shares of Common Stock subject to such ISO shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value per share of the shares of Common Stock at the time such ISO is granted. (ii) The fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the grant date: (A) if the shares of Common Stock are listed on a national securities exchange or traded on the over-the-counter market, shall be the closing price on such exchange, or the mean of the closing bid and asked prices of the shares of Common Stock on the over-the-counter market, as reported by Nasdaq, the National Association of Securities Dealers OTC Bulletin Board or the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., as the case may be, on the day on which the Option is granted or, if there is no closing price or bid or asked price on that day, the closing price or mean of the closing bid and asked prices on the most recent day before the day on which the Option is granted for which such prices are available; and (B) shall be determined by the Committee if the shares are not listed on a national securities exchange or traded on the over-the-counter market. (c) NQSO OPTION PRICE. The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine the Option Price of the shares of Common Stock subject to an NQSO. (d) EXPIRATION OF OPTIONS. Options shall: (i) not have an expiration date later than ten (10) years from the date of its grant; and (ii) shall be subject to earlier termination as set forth in Section 6 hereof. If an ISO is granted to any individual who, immediately before the ISO is granted, owns (directly or through attribution) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of the Company, such ISO shall expire and shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of its grant. 3 (e) NUMBER OF SHARES TO BE EXERCISED. Except as otherwise provided herein or in any option agreement under the Plan, an Option shall become exercisable, in whole or in part at any time. However, an Option may not: (i) be exercised as to less than one hundred (100) shares of Common Stock at any one time, or the remaining shares of Common Stock covered by the Option if less than one hundred (100); or (ii) become fully exercisable more than ten years from the date of its grant. (f) MANNER OF EXERCISE. In order to exercise an Option, the Option holder shall deliver to the Company at its principal office (to the attention of the Company's Secretary): (i) a written notice of the number of full shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised; (ii) payment in full of the Option Price for such shares of Common Stock: (A) in cash or by certified or bank check payable to the order of the Company, (B) by the delivery of unexercised Options or shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the Option Price, or (C) by a combination of cash and such unexercised Options or shares held by an optionee that have a fair market value equal to the Option Price. In the case of an NQSO, the Company shall withhold from the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Option that number of shares having a fair market value equal to the tax withholding amount due, or the holder shall otherwise provide for withholding as set forth in Section 9(c) hereof. The Option Price may also be paid in full by a broker-dealer to whom the optionee has submitted an exercise notice consisting of a fully endorsed Option, or by any other payment method authorized by the Committee. (g) RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. An Option holder shall not have the rights of a stockholder regarding the shares of Common Stock represented by such holder's Option until the shares of Common Stock are issued to the Option holder upon the exercise of the Option. (h) TRANSFER OF OPTIONS. All Options shall not be transferable, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Options shall not be subject to execution, attachment or other process. (i) OPTION VESTING. Subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, or unless otherwise determined by the Committee, each Option shall become exercisable as follows: PERCENTAGE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK DATE WHICH ARE EXERCISABLE 180 days after grant 25% of Option 1st anniversary of 50% grant of Option 4 2nd anniversary of 75% grant of option 3rd anniversary of 100% grant of option However, the Committee may: (i) specifically provide for other exercise times at the time the Option is granted; (ii) accelerate the exercisability of any Option subject to terms and conditions deemed necessary and appropriate by the Committee; or (iii) at any time before the expiration or termination of a granted Option, extend the term of the Option for any additional period determined by the Committee. However, an Option's aggregate term, including the Option's original term and any extensions thereof, shall not exceed ten years. (j) ISOS FAIR MARKET VALUE. The aggregate fair market value, determined as of the time any ISO is granted and in the manner provided for by Section 5(b), of the shares of Common Stock regarding which ISOs granted under the Plan are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year and under incentive stock options qualifying as such in accordance with Code Section 422 granted under any other incentive stock option plan maintained by the Company or its parent or subsidiary corporations, shall not exceed $100,000. Any grant of Options in excess of $100,000 shall be deemed a grant of an NQSO. Furthermore, if an ISO granted under the Plan does not, for any reason, at the time of grant or during the term of the ISO, satisfy all of the Code's conditions for being deemed an ISO, then such ISO shall be deemed a NQSO, but only to the extent, if applicable, such ISO exceeds the Code's conditions. Any determination that an ISO is deemed an NQSO shall not be deemed the grant of a new Option under the Plan. (k) RELOAD OPTIONS. When an Option holder (including a holder of Reload Options, as hereinafter defined, previously granted under this Section 5(k)), exercises the Option and pays the Option Price pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof, in whole or in part, by tendering shares of Common Stock previously held by the Option holder, then the Company shall grant to the Option holder a Reload Option ("Reload Option"), for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock tendered by the Option holder in payment of the Option Price of the Option being exercised. The Reload Option Price per share shall be equal to the fair market value per share of the Company's Common Stock, as determined as of the date of receipt by the Company of the notice by the Option holder to exercise the option, and as determined in accordance with Section 5(b) above. Subject to Section 6 hereof, the Reload Option's term shall expire and the Reload Option shall no longer be exercisable, on the later of: (i) the originally exercised Option's expiration date, or (ii) ten (10) years from the Reload Option's grant date. Any Reload Option shall vest immediately when granted. All other terms of the granted Reload Options shall be identical to the terms and conditions of the original Option, the exercise of which causes the grant of the Reload Option. The Company shall not grant Reload Options if an option holder is no longer employed or retained by the Company on the exercise date of the Options which would otherwise cause the grant of Reload Options hereunder. Furthermore, if there is not a sufficient number of Common Stock available for 5 issuance upon exercise of Reload Options, the Company shall use its best efforts to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock underlying the Plan. However, if the Company cannot increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Plan, the Option holder's ability to exercise the Reload Options may be delayed indefinitely until the required number of shares of Common Stock have been authorized. (l) CHANGE IN CONTROL. (i) If the Company experiences a Change in Control, as defined below, all Options which were outstanding immediately before the Change in Control, shall become exercisable (to the extent not already exercisable) as follows: PERCENTAGE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK DATE WHICH ARE EXERCISABLE Date of 50% Change in Control 1st Anniversary of 100% Change in Control (ii) For purposes of this Subsection, a "Change in Control" occurs if: (A) any "person" (other than Peter Berg or Yannick Tessier) within the meaning of Section 14(d) of the 1934 Act becomes the "beneficial owner" as defined in Rule 13d-3 thereunder, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company's Common Stock. (B) any "person" (other than Peter Berg and Yannick Tessier) acquires by proxy or otherwise the right to vote more than 50% of the Company's Common Stock for the election of Directors, other than solicitation of proxies by the Incumbent Board (as hereinafter defined), for any merger or consolidation of the Company or for any other matter or question. (C) during any two-year period, individuals who constitute the Board of Directors (the "Incumbent Board") as of the beginning of the two-year period, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors. However, any person becoming a Director during such two-year period whose election or nomination for election by 6 the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least three quarters of the Incumbent Board (either by specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for Director without objection to such nomination) shall be, for purposes of this clause (C), considered a member of the Incumbent Board. (D) if the shareholders of the Company shall approve a plan for the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all the property and assets of the Company. (iii) For purposes of this Subsection (l), the initial public offering of Company securities pursuant to Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, shall not be deemed a "Change in Control". 6. DEATH, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT, OR DISABILITY. (a) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR DISABILITY. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, when the Company terminates the employment or retention of an Option holder, the Option holder may exercise its Options at any time within three (3) months after the date of the Option Holder's termination, subject to the provisions of Section 6(c) and to the extent the Options were exercisable as of the date of termination,. For purposes of this Section 6, termination of employment or retention includes termination due to the Option holder's retirement, layoff or permanent disability. However, if an Option holder is convicted of a felony against the Company, the Option holder's outstanding Options shall immediately terminate, and the previous provisions of this Section 6(a) shall not apply. Furthermore, when granting Options, the Committee may modify the term during which an Option holder may exercise Options after the date of termination, subject to applicable laws and regulations, from the term specified above. (b) DEATH. If an Option holder dies: (i) while employed by the Company, or (ii) within three (3) months after the termination of the Option holder's employment or retention, the Option holder's Options may, subject to the provisions of Section 6(c), be exercised within six (6) months after the Option holder's death, by the Option's legatee(s) under the Option holder's will or by the Option holder's personal representatives or distributees. (c) EXERCISE OF VESTED OPTIONS. An Option may not be exercised under this Section 6 except to the extent that the Option holder was entitled to exercise the Option at the time of death or termination of employment or retention, and may not be exercised after the Option's original expiration date. (d) AUTOMATIC VESTING UPON DEATH. If an optionee dies during his or her employment or retention by the Company, then fifty percent (50%) of any outstanding Options which have not vested and are not exercisable by the optionee as of the date of death shall be 7 automatically deemed vested and exercisable by the optionee's estate and/or his legatees in accordance with Section 6(b) hereof. 7. LEAVE OF ABSENCE. For purposes of the Plan, an individual who is on military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence (such as temporary employment by the Government) shall be considered as remaining in the Company's employment for ninety (90) days or such longer period as the individual's right to re-employment is guaranteed either by statute or by contract. 8.

(a) If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock are changed due to: (i) recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, combination or exchange of shares of Common Stock or the like, or (ii) the issuance of dividends payable in shares of Common Stock, the Committee shall appropriately adjust the: (A) aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available under the Plan, (B) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding Options, and (C) the Option Price per share. In the event of: (i) a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another company, or (ii) the transfer of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to another company, each then outstanding Option shall, upon exercise, thereafter entitle the holder to such number of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property to which a holder of shares of Common Stock would have been entitled to upon such consolidation, merger or conveyance. In such event, the Committee shall make an appropriate adjustment with respect to any future changes in the capitalization of the Company or its successor entity. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all outstanding Options under the Plan will automatically terminate, unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors or any authorized committee thereof. (b) Any adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock shall apply proportionately to only the unexercised portion of granted Options. If an adjustment would result in fractional shares of Common Stock, the adjustment shall be revised to the next higher whole number of shares of Common Stock. 9. FURTHER CONDITIONS OF EXERCISE. (a) RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of an Option have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), before the Option's exercise, an optionee must: (i) represent in writing to the Company that the shares of Common Stock are being acquired for investment purposes only and not with a view towards the further resale or distribution of the Common Stock; and (ii) must supply the Company with any other documentation required by the Company, unless in the opinion of the Company's counsel such representation, agreement or documentation is not necessary to comply with the Securities Act. 8 (b) DELIVERY OF SHARES BY COMPANY.

Lauderdale, Florida 33314 promises to pay to ("Payee"), at Payee's address set forth in Payor's corporate records (or at such other place as Payee may from time to time hereafter direct by notice in writing to Payor), the principal sum of Dollars ($ ______________ ), in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, on the first to occur of the following dates: (i) the earlier date to occur (the "Maturity Date") of: (a) January 4, 1999 and (b) the closing date of Payor's initial public offering of securities; (ii) the date on which the outstanding principal amount of this Note is prepaid in full as hereinafter permitted (the "Prepayment Date"); and (iii) any date on which any principal amount of, or accrued unpaid interest on, any Financing Note (as hereinafter defined) is declared to be, or becomes, due and payable pursuant to the terms of such Financing Note prior to the Maturity Date (the "Acceleration Date"). This Note is part of a unit or units (the "Units) and one of a series of notes (the "Financing Notes") being issued pursuant to Payor's Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated September 15, 1997, as supplemented on October 21 and 24, 1997 (the "Memorandum"), relating to Payor's offering of a minimum of fifteen (15) Units and up to a maximum of forty-two (42) Units (the "Bridge Financing"), each Unit consisting of (i) a Financing Note in the principal amount of $50,000 and (ii) warrants ("Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 19,000 shares of Payor's common stock, par value $.0001 per share ("Common Stock"). This Note shall rank pari passu with all other Financing Notes. Reference to the Memorandum shall in no way impair the absolute and unconditional obligation of Payor to pay both principal and interest hereon as provided herein. 1. INTEREST AND PAYMENT. 1.1 The principal amount of this Note outstanding from time to time shall bear simple interest at the annual rate (the "Note Rate") of ten percent (10%) from the date hereof through the earliest to occur of (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) the Prepayment Date and (iii) the Acceleration Date. 1.2 Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable semi-annually, in arrears, on the last day of June and December of each year, commencing on June 30, 1998, and the remaining accrued interest shall be payable in full, together with the then unpaid principal amount of this Note, on the earliest to occur of (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) the Prepayment Date and (iii) the Acceleration Date. 1.3 All payments made by the Payor on this Note shall be applied first to the payment of accrued unpaid interest on this Note and then to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note. Payments of principal and interest shall be deemed made on the date such payment is deposited or, if mailed, on the date deposited in the mail with proper postage and addressed to the holder of this Note at the address set forth above or such other address as provided to the Payor in writing by such holder. 1.4 If payment of the outstanding principal amount of any Financing Note, together with accrued unpaid interest thereon at the Note Rate, is not made on the earliest to occur of (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) the Prepayment Date and (iii) the Acceleration Date, then interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount due under this Note and on any unpaid accrued interest due on this Note from and after such date of default to the date of the payment in full of such amounts (including from and after the date of the entry of judgment in favor of Payee in an action to collect this Note) at an annual rate equal to the lesser of 18% or the maximum rate of interest permitted by Florida law (the "Maximum Rate"). 1.5 For a period of one (1) year from the date that interest accrues on the outstanding principal amount due under this Note at the Maximum Rate, the holder of this Note may, upon written notice to Payor at the address set forth above, convert this Note into that number of shares of voting capital stock of the Company ("Conversion Stock") which, when added to the number of shares of outstanding voting capital stock of the Company (inclusive of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and other securities or instruments of the Company convertible into voting capital stock of the Company (collectively, "Convertible Securities Stock")) equals that percentage of outstanding voting capital stock of the Company (inclusive of Convertible Securities Stock) obtained by dividing (i) the principal amount of this Note by (ii) the sum obtained by adding the aggregate principal amount of all Financing Notes to $7,500,000. Upon conversion of this Note in accordance with this Section 1.5, Payor shall issue a stock certificate for the shares of Conversion Stock to the holder of this Note within five (5) business days after Payor's receipt of written notice of the holder's desire to convert this Note without charge to the holder including, without limitation, any tax which may be payable in respect of the issuance thereof, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the holder. The Conversion Stock issued to the holder of this Note shall be entitled to all of the rights and subject to all of the obligations set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement of even date herewith between the Payor and the Holder. The stock certificates issued upon conversion of this Note under this Section 1.5 shall bear a legend substantially similar to the following: "The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Act"), and may not be offered or sold except (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, (ii) to the extent applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or any similar rule under such Act relating to the disposition of securities), or (iii) upon the delivery by the holder of this 2 certificate to the issuer of an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the issuer, stating that an exemption from registration under such Act is available." 1.6 In no event shall Payee be entitled to receive interest, however characterized and including other consideration received in connection with this Note, at an effective rate in excess of the Maximum Rate. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such amounts paid or agreed to be paid by Payor in connection with this Note causes the effective interest rate on this Note to exceed the Maximum Rate, such interest or other consideration shall automatically be reduced to a rate which results in an effective interest rate under this Note equal to the Maximum Rate over the term hereof, and, in such event, any amounts received by Payee deemed to constitute excessive interest shall be applied first to the payment of accrued unpaid interest on this Note and then to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note. 1.7 In the event that the date for the payment of any amount payable under this Note falls due on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday under the laws of the State of Florida, the time for payment of such amount shall be extended to the next succeeding business day and interest at the Note Rate shall continue to accrue on any principal amount so effected until the payment thereof on such extended due date. 2. REPLACEMENT OF NOTE. 2.1 In the event that this Note is mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, Payor shall, at its sole expense, execute, register and deliver a new Note, in exchange and substitution for this Note, if mutilated, or in lieu of and in substitution for this Note, if destroyed, lost or stolen. In the case of destruction, loss or theft, Payee shall furnish to Payor indemnity reasonably satisfactory to Payor. In any such case, and in the case of mutilation, Payee shall also furnish to Payor evidence to its reasonable satisfaction of the mutilation, destruction, loss or theft of this Note and of the ownership thereof. Any replacement Note so issued shall be in the same outstanding principal amount as this Note and dated the date to which interest shall have been paid on this Note or, if no interest shall have yet been paid, dated the date of this Note. 2.2 Every Note issued pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1 hereof in substitution for this Note shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Payor, whether or not this Note shall be found at any time or be enforceable by anyone. 3. PREPAYMENT. At the option of Payor, the principal amount of this Note may be prepaid in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, without penalty or premium, together with interest thereon accrued through the Prepayment Date. Each partial prepayment of this Note shall first be applied to interest accrued through the Prepayment Date and then to principal. 4. COVENANTS OF PAYOR.

However, Payor or such subsidiary shall not be required to pay and discharge any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim so long as the validity thereof shall be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and Payor or such subsidiary, as the case may be, shall set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect to any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim so contested; 4.4 Payor will, and will cause each of its subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights and franchises and comply with all laws applicable to Payor as its counsel may advise; 4.5 Payor will, and will cause each of its subsidiaries to, at all times maintain, preserve, protect and keep its property used or useful in the conduct of its business in good repair, working order and condition and will, from time to time, make all necessary and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto so that Payor's business may be conducted at all times; 4.6 Payor will, and will cause each of its subsidiaries to, keep adequately insured, by financially sound and reputable insurers, all property of a character usually insured by similar corporations and carry such other insurance as is usually carried by similar corporations; 4.7 Payor will, promptly following the occurrence of an Event of Default or of any condition or event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, furnish a statement of Payor's President or Chief Financial Officer to Payee setting forth the details of such Event of Default or condition or event and the action which Payor intends to take with respect thereto; 4.8 Payor will, and will cause each of its subsidiaries to, at all times maintain books of account in which all of its financial transactions are duly recorded in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles; 4.9 Payor will not, and will not permit any of its subsidiaries to, purchase or otherwise redeem any Common Stock, unless Payor establishes an adequate reserve to pay all of its obligations under the Financing Notes; 4 4.10 Except with the prior written consent of holders of two-thirds of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Financing Notes, Payor will not, and will not permit any of its subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume, permit, guarantee or suffer to exist any indebtedness or any other obligations for money borrowed except for (i) indebtedness existing on the date hereof, (ii) indebtedness under the Financing Notes, (iii) indebtedness or other obligations for money borrowed which are subordinated in all respects, including, but not limited to, priority upon liquidation, to the Financing Notes and (iv) indebtedness payable to a bank or other financial institution; and 4.11 Except with the prior written consent of holders of two-thirds of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Financing Notes, Payor will not, and will not permit any of its subsidiaries to, pay or prepay any amounts under any outstanding indebtedness or other obligations for money borrowed or incurred subsequent to the date hereof, whether or not such indebtedness becomes due, past due or accelerated, except for (i) all of the Financing Notes on a pro rata basis, (ii) indebtedness payable to a bank or other financial institution incurred in consideration of cash infused into the Payor after the date hereof (i.e. not for the repayment of other outstanding indebtedness) up to the amount of the net cash proceeds received by Payor. 5.

The warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate and any warrants resulting from a transfer or subdivision of the warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate shall sometimes hereinafter be referred to, individually, as a "Financing Warrant" and, collectively, as the "Financing Warrants." This Warrant Certificate is one of a series of Warrant Certificates being issues as part of a private offering (the "Bridge Financing") pursuant to the Company's Confidential Private Offering Memorandum, dated _________________ ____ , 1997. 1. EXERCISE OF FINANCING WARRANTS. Each Financing Warrant is initially exercisable to purchase one Warrant Share at an initial exercise price of $3.75 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 6 hereof, payable in cash or by check to the order of the Company, or any combination of cash or check. Upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate with the annexed Form of Election to Purchase duly executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price (as hereinafter defined) for the Warrant Shares purchased, at the Company's principal offices (presently located at 4101 S.W. 47 Avenue, Suite 101, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 33314) the registered holder thereof (the "Holder" or "Holders") shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant Certificate are exercisable at the option of the Holder hereof, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares of Common Stock). In the case of the purchase of less than all the Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall cancel this Warrant Certificate upon the surrender thereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor for the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. 2. ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES. Upon the exercise of the Financing Warrants and payment of the full Exercise Price therefor, the issuance of certificates for the Warrant Shares purchased pursuant to such exercise shall be made within five (5) business days thereafter without charge to the holder thereof including, without limitation, any tax which may be payable in respect of the issuance thereof, and such certificates shall (subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof) be issued in the name of, or in such names as may be directed by, the Holder thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificates in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Warrant Certificates and, upon exercise of the Financing Warrants, the certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of those officers required to sign such certificates under Florida law. The Warrant Certificates and, upon exercise of the Financing Warrants, in whole or in part, certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall bear a legend substantially similar to the following: "The securities represented by this certificate and/or the securities issuable upon exercise thereof have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Act"), and may not be offered or sold except (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, (ii) to the extent applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or any similar rule under such Act relating to the disposition of securities), or (iii) upon the delivery by the holder to the Company of an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the issuer, stating that an exemption from registration under such Act is available." 3. RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER OF FINANCING WARRANTS. The Holder of this Warrant Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, covenants and agrees that the Financing Warrants and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Financing Warrants are being acquired as an investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof. 4. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Holder shall be entitled to all of the rights and subject to all of the obligations set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement of even date herewith between the Company and the Holder. 5. PRICE. 5.1 INITIAL AND ADJUSTED EXERCISE PRICE. The initial exercise price of each Financing Warrant shall be $3.75 per Warrant Share. The adjusted exercise price shall be the price which shall result from time to time from any and all adjustments of the initial exercise price in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 hereof. 2 5.2 EXERCISE PRICE. The term "Exercise Price" herein shall mean the initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending upon the context. 6. ADJUSTMENTS OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. 6.1 DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. In case the Company shall at any time after the date hereof pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock, then upon such dividend or distribution, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution shall be reduced to a price determined by dividing an amount equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale. For purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.1, the shares of Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued immediately after the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution. 6.2 SUBDIVISION AND COMBINATION. In case the Company shall at any time subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination. 6.3 ADJUSTMENT IN NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Financing Warrant shall be adjusted to the nearest full share of Common Stock by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Financing Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price. 6.4 RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. In case of any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in nominal value to no nominal value, or from no nominal value to nominal value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in the case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock, except a change as a result of a subdivision or combination of such shares or a change in nominal value, as aforesaid), or in the case of a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety, the Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase the kind and number of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance as if the Holder were the owner of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Financing Warrants immediately prior to any such events at a price equal to the product of (i) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Financing Warrants and (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance as if such Holder had exercised the Financing Warrants. 3 6.5 DETERMINATION OF OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK. The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time outstanding shall include the aggregate number of shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights and warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of outstanding convertible or exchangeable securities. 7. EXCHANGE AND REPLACEMENT OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. This Warrant Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon the surrender hereof by the registered Holder at the principal executive office of the Company, for a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the same number of Warrant Shares in such denominations as shall be designated by the Holder thereof at the time of such surrender. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant Certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor, in lieu thereof. 8. ELIMINATION OF FRACTIONAL INTERESTS. The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock and shall not be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock. 9. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company covenants and agrees that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized share capital, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of the Financing Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be equal to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Financing Warrants, for issuance upon such exercise, and that, upon exercise of the Financing Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price therefor, all Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully-paid, non-assessable and not subject to the preemptive rights of any shareholder. 10. NOTICES TO FINANCING WARRANT HOLDERS. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder or Holders the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meetings of shareholders for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company. If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of the Financing Warrants and their exercise, any of the following events shall occur: (a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution payable otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or distribution payable otherwise than out of current or retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the books of the Company; or 4 (b) the Company shall offer to all the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option, right or warrant to subscribe therefor; or (c) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of all or substantially all of its property, assets and business as an entirety shall be proposed; or (d) a reclassification, change of the outstanding Common Stock or any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation, as referred to in Section 6.4 hereof. then, in any one or more of such events, the Company shall give written notice of such event at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the shareholders entitled to such dividend, distribution, convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription rights, options or warrants, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any action taken in connection with the declaration or payment of any such dividend or distribution, or the issuance of any convertible or exchangeable securities or subscription rights, options or warrants, or any proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale. 11. NOTICES. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made when personally delivered or sent by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested, postage prepaid), facsimile transmission or overnight courier: (a) if to a registered Holder of the Financing Warrants, to the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company; or (b) if to the Company, to the address set forth in Section 1 of this Warrant or to such other address as the Company may designate by notice to the Holders. 12. SUCCESSORS. All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company and the Holders shall inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder. 5 13. GOVERNING LAW. 13.1 CHOICE OF LAW. This Warrant Certificate shall be deemed to have been made and delivered in the State of Florida and shall be governed as to validity, interpretation, construction, effect and in all other respects with the substantive laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to the choice of laws rules thereof. 13.2 JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS. The Company and the Holder each (a) agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant Certificate, or any other agreement entered into between the Company and the Holder pursuant to the Bridge Financing shall be instituted exclusively in the state courts of Broward or Dade Counties, Florida ("Florida Courts") or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, (b) waives any objection which the Company or such Holder may have now or hereafter based upon FORUM NON CONVENIENS or to the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding, and (c) irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the Florida Courts and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida in any such suit, action or proceeding.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of the 28 day of October, 1997, between the person whose name and address appear on the signature page attached hereto (individually a "Holder" or, collectively with the Holders of the Units issued in the Offering, each as defined below, the "Holders") and Galacticomm Technologies, Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of Florida, having its principal place of business at 4101 S.W. 47 Avenue, Suite 101, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 33314 (the "Company"). RECITALS: A. Simultaneously with the executive and delivery of this Agreement, the Holders are purchasing from the Company an aggregate of up to 42 units (the "Units"), each Unit consisting of (i) a non-negotiable 10% unsecured promissory note of the Company in the principal amount of $50,000, which is convertible into shares (the "Conversion Stock") of the Company's common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), under certain circumstances, and (ii) warrants (the "Financing Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 19,000 shares ("Financing Warrant Shares") of the Common Stock (the Financing Warrants are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the "Financing Securities"), at an exercise price of $3.75 per Financing Warrant Share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, all upon the terms set forth in the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of the Company dated September 15, 1997, as supplemented on October 21 and 24, 1997 (the "Bridge Financing"); and B. The Company desires to grant to the Holder the registration rights set forth herein with respect to the Conversion Stock, and the Financing Warrant Shares (collectively referred to hereinafter sometimes as the "Registrable Securities"); NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows: 1. MANDATORY REGISTRATION OF THE REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. (a) The Company will include the Financing Warrant Shares (and shares of outstanding Conversion Stock, if any) as part of the securities of the Company covered by its registration statement (the "IPO Registration Statement") relating to the initial underwritten public offering of the Company's securities. The Company will prepare the IPO Registration Statement and file it with, and use its best efforts to have it declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), so as to permit the public sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant thereto commencing on the date the IPO Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC (the "IPO Effective Date"). (b) Once the IPO Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1 is declared effective by the SEC, the Company will use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the earlier date to occur (the "Release Date") of (i) the date that all of the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement, or (ii) the date that the Holders of the Registrable Securities receive an opinion of counsel to the Company that all of the Registrable Securities, other than securities held by "affiliates" of the Company, as such term is defined in Rule 144 of the Act, may be freely traded (without limitation or restriction as to quantity or timing and without registration under the Act) pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act or otherwise. If the Company fails to keep the IPO Registration Statement continuously effective during such period, then the Company shall, promptly upon the request of the Holders of at least 51% of the unsold Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to update the IPO Registration Statement or file a new registration statement covering the unsold Registrable Securities subject to the terms and provisions hereof. (c) If, for any reason (other than at the request of a Holder or Holders) less than 80% of the Registrable Securities are included in the IPO Registration Statement on the IPO Effective Date, the Company, within six months after the IPO Effective Date, will use its best efforts to file and have declared effective (within such six month period) by the SEC a new registration statement covering all of the Registrable Securities which were not included in the IPO Registration Statement on the IPO Effective Date. The Company will use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the earlier date to occur of (i) the date that all of such Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the registration statement, or (ii) the date that the Holders of the Registrable Securities included in such registration statement receive an opinion of counsel to the Company that all of such Registrable Securities, other than securities held by "affiliates" of the Company, as such term is defined in Rule 144 of the Act, may be freely traded (without limitation or restriction as to quantity or timing and without registration under the Act) pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act or otherwise. 2. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION. For a period of twelve (12) months from the IPO Effective Date up to and including the Release Date (the "Piggyback Registration Period") , if the Company proposes to prepare and file a registration statement (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8) under the Act with the SEC covering equity or debt securities of the Company, or any such securities of the Company held by its shareholders, the Company will give written notice of its intention to do so by registered mail ("Notice"), at least thirty (30) business days prior to the filing of each such registration statement, to the Holders. Upon the written request of a Holder (a "Requesting Holder"), made within twenty (20) business days after the date of the Notice, that the Company include any of the Requesting Holder's Registrable Securities (such term for purposes of this Section 2 excludes Conversion Stock) in such proposed registration statement, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such registration statement (a "Piggyback Registration Statement") to be declared effective under the Act by the SEC so as to permit the public sale of the Requesting Holder's Registrable Securities pursuant thereto, at the Company's sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Requesting Holders; provided, however, that if, in the written opinion of the Company's managing underwriter, if any, for such offering, the inclusion of all or a portion of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered, when added to the securities being registered by the Company or the selling shareholder(s), will exceed the maximum amount of the Company's securities which can be marketed (i) at a price reasonably related to their then current market value, or (ii) without otherwise materially adversely affecting the entire offering, then the Company may exclude from such offering all or a portion of the Registrable Securities which it has been requested to register on a pro rata basis with any other shares of Common Stock held by other shareholders of the Company for which registration rights have been granted prior to the IPO Effective Date. If all or a portion of a Requesting Holder's Registrable Securities are excluded (the "Excluded Securities") from the initial Piggyback Registration Statement pursuant 2 to the provisions of this Section 2 and a Requesting Holder's Excluded Securities cannot be freely traded (without limitation or restriction as to quantity or timing and without registration under the Act) pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act or otherwise by the date that the second Piggyback Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Piggyback Registration Period will be extended until the earlier to occur of (i) twenty-one (21) months from the IPO Effective Date or (ii) the date that Holders of 80% of the Excluded Securities receive an opinion of counsel to the Company that all of such Excluded Securities, other than securities held by "affiliates" of the Company, as such term is defined in Rule 144 of the Act or otherwise, may be freely traded (without limitation or restriction as to quantity or timing and without registration under the Act) pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act or otherwise. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2, the Company shall have the right, at any time after it shall have given Notice pursuant to this Section 2 (irrespective of whether any written request for inclusion of Registrable Securities) to elect not to file any Piggyback Registration Statement or to withdraw the same after the filing but prior to the effective date thereof. 3. PROHIBITION ON SALES IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. The Holders agree that they will not sell or otherwise transfer any of their Registrable Securities pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement, a Piggyback Registration Statement or otherwise until one hundred eighty (180) days following the IPO Effective Date (or such longer period as The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any state regulatory authority may require in connection with the Company's initial public offering). 4. ADDITIONAL TERMS. (a) If any stop order shall be issued by the SEC in connection with the IPO Registration Statement or, following its effectiveness, a Piggyback Registration Statement (collectively referred to herein as the "Financing Registration Statement"), the Company will use its best efforts to obtain the removal of such order. Following the effective date of the Financing Registration Statement, the Company shall, upon the request of the Holder, forthwith supply such reasonable number of copies of the Financing Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus and final prospectus meeting the requirements of the Act, and other documents necessary or incidental to the registration and public offering of the Registrable Securities, as shall be reasonably requested by the Holder to permit the Holder to make a public distribution of such securities. The Company will use its reasonable efforts to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such states as the holders of such securities shall reasonably request, provided that no such qualification will be required in any jurisdiction where, solely as a result thereof, the Company would be subject to (i) general service of process or to taxation or qualification as a foreign corporation doing business in such jurisdiction or (ii) qualification requirements which would require the Company to (A) amend its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or (B) rescind, modify or amend any action taken by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with their fiduciary obligations to the Company and its shareholders; provided, however, that the Company will make a good faith effort to obtain a waiver of any such requirement. The obligations of the Company hereunder with respect to the Registrable Securities are expressly conditioned on the Holder's furnishing to the Company such appropriate information concerning the Holder,the Holder's Registrable Securities and the terms of the Holder's offering of such securities, as the Company may reasonably request. 3 (b) The Company shall bear the entire cost and expense of each registration of the Registrable Securities provided for herein; provided, however, that the Holder shall be solely responsible for the fees of any legal counsel or financial advisors retained by the Holder in connection with such registration and any transfer taxes or underwriting discounts, commissions or fees applicable to the Registrable Securities sold by the Holder pursuant thereto. (c) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holder and each underwriter, within the meaning of the Act, who may purchase from or sell for the Holder, any Registrable Securities, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Financing Registration Statement, any other registration statement filed by the Company under the Act, any post-effective amendment to such registration statements, or any prospectus included therein required to be filed or furnished by reason of this Agreement or caused by any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished or required to be furnished in writing to the Company by the Holder or underwriter expressly for use therein, which indemnification shall include each person, if any, who controls either the Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Act and each officer, director, employee and agent of the Holder and underwriter; provided, however, that the indemnification in this paragraph (c) with respect to any prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of the Holder or underwriter (or to the benefit of any person controlling the Holder or underwriter) on account of any such loss, claim, damage or liability arising from the sale of Registrable Securities by the Holder or the underwriter, if a copy of a subsequent prospectus correcting the untrue statement or omission in such earlier prospectus was provided to the Holder or underwriter by the Company prior to the subject sale and the subsequent prospectus was not delivered or sent by the Holder or underwriter to the purchaser prior to such sale. (d) The Holder or underwriter or other person, as the case may be, shall indemnify the Company, its directors, each officer signing the Financing Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Financing Registration Statement, any registration statement or any prospectus required to be filed or furnished by reason of this Agreement or caused by any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by the Holder or underwriter expressly for use therein. (e) If for any reason the indemnification provided for in either the two preceding subparagraphs is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, but also the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 4 (f) Neither the filing of a Financing Registration Statement by the Company pursuant to this Agreement nor the making of any request for prospectuses by the Holder shall impose upon the Holder any obligation to sell the Holder's Registrable Securities. (g) The Holder, upon receipt of notice from the Company that an event has occurred which requires a post-effective amendment to the Financing Registration Statement or a supplement to the prospectus included therein, shall promptly discontinue the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement until the Holder receives a copy of the amended Financing Registration Statement or supplemented prospectus from the Company, which the Company shall provide as soon as practicable after such notice. 5.

LEAD is willing to grant Galacticomm a limited and nonexclusive license to use the aforementioned software products in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations contained in this Restated Software License Agreement ("Agreement") but only in strict accordance with the terms hereof. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and obligations contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows: 1. DEFINITIONS.

(b) "End User" means a person, firm or entity that receives a copy of the Client Component of Worldgroup Product (and thus a sublicense of the Redistributables) for business or personal use in connection with a Worldgroup System. (c) "Worldgroup Product" is a computer software product created by Galacticomm which enables the licensee thereof to create and operate an online service (a "Worldgroup System") which includes a "server" component and the Client Component. (d) "Sysop" is a person, firm or entity who licenses a Worldgroup Product for the purpose of operating a Worldgroup System and who may license a Developer Kit to customize the Client Component. (e) "ISV" means an independent software vendor who licenses a Developer Kit for the purpose of developing an application that can only be used exclusively by a Sysop in connection with the operation of a Worldgroup System. (f) "LEAD License" is a license in the form of Exhibit A which shall accompany each unit of Developer Kit. "Licensed Program" shall mean collectively the machine readable object code to LEAD's LEADTOOLS Professional version 5.0 and LEADTOOLS WIN 32 Professional version 5.0 and all updates and new versions, if any, licensed pursuant hereto and the Documentation for each such product. (h) "Licensee Restrictions" are the restrictions set forth in Exhibit B which must be contained in Galacticomm's Worldgroup Product license agreement upon the release of the first version of Worldgroup Product containing the Redistributable. (i) "Redistributables" means the components of the Licensed Software which may be integrated into the Client Component and may be copied and redistributed under the limitations contained in this Agreement. The Redistributables are only those files identified as being, redistributable in the "Advisory" section of the online Help file contained in the Documentation. 0) "Developer Kit" means, collectively, the Worldgroup Client/Server Developer's Kit and the Intermediate Kit including, all enhancements and new versions thereof. (k) "Client Component" means the Windows based software component of the Worldgroup Product comprising the user interface between the End User's computer and a Worldgroup System that will be distributed to End Users to use in connection with a Worldgroup System, and into which the Redistributable will be integrated.

(m) "Intermediate Kit" means the current version of Galacticomm's developer kit known as Worldgroup Client/Server Developer Kit version 1-0 but to which has been added imaging functionality developed with the Licensed Program. The Intermediate Kit 2 will be licensed to Sysops for purposes of modifying Galacticomm Add-ons and to ISVs for the purpose of developing Add-ons. (n) "Add-on" is a separate "plug in" application, usually in the form of a DLL, that provides additional functionality available to a Sysop operating a Worldgroup System. (o) "Add-on Source Code" is the Galacticomm material necessary to enable the modification of a Galacticomm Add-on and which is licensed solely to Sysops or ISVs who have licensed a Developer Kit from Galacticomm. (p) "Galacticomm Add-on" is an Add-on licensed to Sysops by Galacticomm. 2. OVERVIEW. Galacticomm desires to obtain a license to the Licensed Program in order to enhance the Worldgroup Product so as to incorporate the Licensed Program functionality to allow End Users to be able to view graphic images transmitted to them by a Worldgroup System which will be accomplished by including the Redistributable in the Client Component. Galacticomm further desires to utilize the Licensed Program in the development of the Developer Kit which will allow ISVs to develop Add-ons. The Developer Kit will also be marketed to Sysops who will utilize it to customize the Client Component to provide a unique "look and feel." The Developer Kit will accomplish its tasks by utilizing, an API developed by Galacticomm which will indirectly access the Licensed Program functions described in the Documentation and contained in the Redistributable as integrated into the Client Component. The operation of ISV Add-ons will, therefore, be dependent upon the Redistributable being contained in the Client Component with the Galacticomm API calling, the Redistributable. Galacticomm desires to release the Worldgroup Client/Server Developer Kit once it is completed, and upon the release of Worldgroup version 2.0. However, Galacticomm desires to immediately release the Intermediate Kit to enable Sysops to customize the Galacticomm Add-ons and to enable ISVs to develop Add-ons prior to the release of Worldgroup Product 2.0 and Worldgroup Client/Server Developer Kit, and in connection therewith, will include the Client Component (and Redistributables integrated therein) with such Intermediate Kit. No Redistributables will be included in the Worldgroup Client/Server Developer Kit. No Documentation will be included with any Developer Kit or otherwise distributed or made available to any customer. 3. LICENSE OF THE LICENSED PROGRAM.

The most important reason for this trend is the growth of sales within consumer marketing channels. Another reason is that more and more resellers are investing in inventory and point-of- sale systems which utilize bar-coded information. As a result of these trends, bar coding concerns have become much more prevalent within the computer industry. With over ten years of experience, most resellers who use bar codes have adopted the Universal Product Code (UPC) as their standard data format. As a supplier to several of these resellers, Ingram Micro is increasingly called upon to provide UPCs on all products sold through these channels. But as a distributor, Ingram Micro cannot assign UPCs to products; that task can only be performed by the original manufacturer. Due to the sporadic use of UPCs within the microcomputer industry, however, Ingram Micro is often required to invent codes and create labels for products sold to these resellers. These requirements have led Ingram Micro to adopt UPC as its coding standard, this standard dictates that a unique code be assigned for each product and for every version of that product. Non-unique codes for different product versions create havoc among consumer market resellers, many of whom have little experience with computer products. With a correct UPC, inventory can be handled efficiently within Ingram Micro's warehouses as well as those of our reseller partners. On these pages, you will find the Ingram Micro bar code requirements which reflect the needs of our customers. Additionally, we have provided lists and explanations to help with your own bar code programs, as well as information for working with the Uniform Code Council, the agency responsible for UPC bar codes. At the end of this document, please find the Bar Code Checklist for use in informing Ingram Micro of your company's bar coding efforts. All Ingram Micro requirements conform with ABCD guidelines. Please note some recent additions to our bar code policy. First, we have experienced a growing demand from our customers to capture serial number information on products we ship to them. This information is mandatory in order for our customers to apply for rebates, warranties, upgrades, marketing funds and support from the manufacturer. Accurate series number capture is, therefore, imperative. IF SERIAL NUMBERS ARE CARRIED ON YOUR PRODUCTS, WE REQUIRE THIS INFORMATION TO BE BAR CODED IN CODE 39 FORMAT WITH THE (S) DATA IDENTIFIER PRESENT IN BOTH THE HUMAN-READABLE TEXT AND MACHINE READABLE BAR CODE. With this consistent, uniform format, we can capture serial numbers quickly and accurately while increasing customer satisfaction. Second, we have included guidelines on case pack and shipping label specifications. These guidelines are designed to reduce receiving and potential shipping errors to customers. Again, a consistent, uniform format helps us capture this important information about your product accurately and without delay. We appreciate your investment of time and energy in implementing these bar code programs. Through our joint efforts and consistent bar code labeling, Ingram Micro and our vendor partners will be able to increase customer satisfaction, improve inventory control and reduce the cost of sales through microcomputer channels. Ingram Micro stands ready to assist with your bar code program. Please use the Bar Code Contact List when the bar code questions arise. INGRAM MICRO 1 Where Bar Codes Are Used Your Product INGRAM MICRO RECEIVING DOCK Each product is checked for a UPC bar code. Do you have UPC Ingram Micro bar codes? No must print and apply a bar code to your product. Yes INGRAM MICRO WAREHOUSE Bar codes are scanned at every transaction: product put-away, picking, cycle count, serial number capture and shipping. Do you have UPC Ingram Micro bar codes? No retail customers want their own special codes on product...more labels.

A serial number may be printed on a separate label as long as it is placed legible on the exterior of the product package. /bullet/ Serial numbers must be printed in Code 39 (S) format: (1) if Ingram Micro's customer is required to record serial numbers of your product prior to shipping or, (2) if Ingram Micro's customer is required to confirm serial numbers as a pre-condition of returning defective product or, (3) if Ingram Micro or its customers are required to provide serial number information for inventory reporting purposes. Serial numbers are optional if Ingram Micro reports no serial number data to your company. /bullet/ Bar code labels should include human-readable text in addition to the bar code itself. The nominal UPC symbol size is 1.469 inches wide by 1.020 inches high (including the human-readable characters). Size may vary from .8 to 2.0 times the nominal dimensions in accordance with UCC guidelines. Code 39 symbols should have a minimum bar code height of .5 inches and a minimum height for human-readable text of .125 inches. For product that is SHRINK WRAPPED, THE LABEL IS BEST PLACED ON THE TOP OR BOTTOM, NEAR THE EDGE. Use caution, avoid the middle section. Shrink wrap seams obstruct the scanner's ability to read the bar code.

The Fremont, CA 94538 purchase order, in both human readable text and bar code format, must employ the Br. 52 48949 Warm Springs use of the FACT data identifier (K). The Fremont, CA 94538 fourth segment contains the invoice number in both human-readable text and bar code Br. 70 696 Park N. Blvd. format. The invoice number must be printed #150 in Code 39 symbology and utilize the FACT Clarkston, GA data identifier (10K) in both the text and 30021 code symbol. By bar coding the purchase order and invoice number, Ingram Micro's Br. 80 6455 Allentown accounting department will be able to Harrisburg, PA quickly match your invoice to the Ingram 17112 Micro purchase order to ensure prompt payment. The last segment contains the serialized shipping container code in both human-readable and bar code format. Ingram Micro uses the information contained in this code to tie together the physical contents of the carton to the shipment information given to us by a supplier via Electronic Data Interchange (E.D.I). The serialized shipping container code is printed in UCC/EAN-128 bar code symbology. It employs the use of application identifiers, which serve the same purpose as data identifiers, only in numeric form. It gets its uniqueness by coupling the seven digit UCC/EAN manufacturer number with a nine digit shipping container number assigned by the supplier.

Although membership in the Uniform Code Council is voluntary, it is required in order to obtain the manufacturer's number assignment necessary for a UPC. The fee for membership is based on the latest annual U.S. domestic sales volume of the applying company and ranges from $300, for start-up companies and those under $2 million in annual sales, to $10,000 if you have over $500 million in sales. This sales figure should include all products, not just the products which are chosen for coding at the time of application. Some manufacturers have previously applied for membership with the Uniform Code Council, but for a Uniform Industrial Code (UIC) rather than a UPC. Within the past few years these two programs have merged, and both now operate under the auspices of Uniform Code Council. Manufacturer's numbers assigned under the UIC program are now applicable for UPC's as well. Contact the Uniform Code Council at 8163 Old Yankee Rd., Ste. J. Dayton, OH 45458 or call (513) 435-3870. After receipt of your application, the Uniform Code Council will assign a UPC manufacturer's number unique to your company. This six-digit number will be for use on all of your products. ASSIGNING UPC ITEM CODES Each manufacturer, according to their own internal numbering system, assigns a five-digit item number to each product. In combination with the six-digit manufacturer nubmer, this will form the 11-digit UPC number for each product. A calculated check-digit in the twelfth position completes the UPC code. Currently used part numbering systems cannot always be represented, as assigning any degree of internal intelligence of significance to the positions of the digits dramatically reduces possible permutations and flexibility. UPCs created from each manufacturer's number are limited to 100,000 (00000 through 99999). If, for example, a company produces systems, components and software products and begins each group's with "1," "2," and "3" respectively, then the 100,000 possible numbers are suddenly reduced to 30,000. Manufacturers who feel uneasy about starting their numbering system with 00001 may choose another starting point, such as 25000. Item numbers, then, should be chosen either sequentially or randomly without duplication. The best place to start is usually the product with the highest unit volume. A different number must be assigned for each product as well as different versions of each product, including different disk sizes or media. Additionally. a separate code should be created for education or international versions, promotional packages and specially priced or bundled items. The general rule to follow is that a separate number should be created when a product is physically or functionally different from previous products, the product is handled differently in the channel, different package graphics/dimensions make the product appear different from earlier versions, or the retail price changes from one configuration to another. Minor changes that are transparent to the user, e.g., not identified on the package or in promotional media, should not have a new UPC assigned as this will cause the item to be treated as a different product. Many retailers rely on unique UPCs to differentiate between product versions, media, etc. 6 INGRAM MICRO BAR CODE CONTACT LIST INGRAM MICRO Angela Conlon, Operations Administrator (714) 566-1000 ext. 2213 Contact Angela with any questions concerning bar codes, CTLA (formerly ABCD) standards and other policies outlined in this guide.

DESCRIPTION - WCO COMMERCIAL SYSTEM (SERVER) PACKAGE WorldGroup 3. X DOS; WorldGroup 3. X NT, and all platforms and any other future versions/updates under this Agreement, including without limitation WorldGroup 4. X; and WorldGroup 2.0, a prior version. FEATURES Each WCO Commercial System ("server") will be configured to provide the following features and services: /bullet/ ELECTRONIC MAIL for all users, with support for rich-text messages, file attachments, carbon copies, mail forwarding, distribution lists, offline filing cabinets, "new mail" notification, return receipts, priority indentification of critical messages, and security controls to authorize individual users or groups of users to use this service. An AMTP gateway for Internet e-mail is included, and supports MIME-encoded file attachments as well as POP3 access for remote end-users; all of these features may be restricted on a user-by-user basis as well. /bullet/ GROUP MESSAGING for one-to-many or many-to-many threaded discussions with support for up to 10,000 unique discussion "forums" (or "bulletin boards"), each with user-by-user access control features governing read, write, download, upload, and administrator privileges. Features include rich-text messages, file attachments, keyword searching, hierarchial threading of topics, message quoteing, configurable profanity filter, embedded URL recognition, and an NNTP gateway for automated import/export with selected Internet newsgroups. /bullet/ POLLS AND QUESTIONAIRES for user surveys, electronic voting for events, data collection, mock polls, etc. Features include multiple answer and open response questions, automated polling with up-to-the-minute pie charts and bar graphs for poll statistics, data export capabilities for use with databases and spreadsheets, voting restrictions (e.g., one vote per user), and option "rewards" for participants (e.g., increased 13 security access or delivery of an specified file). Full user-by-user security access control is implemented throughout. Uses a simple windowed interface for on-the-fly creation of new polls. /bullet/ REGISTRY OF USERS that can be used as a "white pages" directory of users, along with a configurable template for information asked and displayed. Security access restrictions indentify which users can insert entries and which users can read them. /bullet/ FILE LIBRARY that can be used to manage more than 10,000 categories of files. Each category can have its own description and security access restrictions to determine which users can view the library, download files, upload files for approval, and approve uploaded files. Features include keyword searching, listing by popularity, chronological listings, and wildcard file searches, as well as the ability to queue up multiple files for background download. /bullet/ TELECONFERENCE for real-time data conferencing between the concurrent users on the same server. Features include private whispers, a shared whiteboard with file save capability, user-to-user background file transfers, one-on-one chat, and up to 65, 534 "channels", each of which can have its own moderator. /bullet/ ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT to give each WCO server administrator the ability to create or delete user accounts, assign security access levels to "classes" of users (or individual users), an audit trail of every log-on, log-off, and file transfer event, and comprehensive statistics and reporting capabilities to measure usage based on user class, time-of-day, and connection channel bank. /bullet/ CUSTOM HYPERMEDIA GRAPHICS Each server will include a license for the WorldGroup Hypermedia Editor that will allow WCO to customize the look-and-feel of their system menus. /bullet/ STANDARD INTERNET SERVER features, such as a built-in HTTP 1.0 Web server (including a dynamic HTML file library option), an FTP server with password protected and anonymous transfers, and a user indentification "finger" server. 14 /bullet/ AUTOMATIC FILE LAUNCHING for documents from File Libraries or message file attachments. When an application-specific document is downloaded (e.g., an Excel spreadsheet), if that application is resident on the client machine, WCO will automatically launch the application and open the document. /bullet/ DIAL-UP ACCESS SUPPORT that would enable remote users to call directly into an WCO Server with a modem or ISDN terminal adapter to access services. This requires modem-terminal adapter hardware on both the client and server, as well as an NT-compatable intelligent multiport serial board for the server which would be provided separately by Galacticomm. /bullet/ FAX/ONLINE ADD-ON OPTION Provides an outgoing online fax service for the system. Users can fax pre-scanned images and ASCII text files from your document database, inquire about fax rate charges, and send fax copies to others. Requires EIA Class 2/CCITT Group 3 fax modems. Fax Online Developer's Kit included. /bullet/ CLIENT/SERVER DEVELOPER'S KIT Contains the Client App Developer's Kit along with the server-side engine in LIB form and the C source code to all the server/side applications. Modify WorldGroup and its existing add-ons or write add-on options. Includes files necessary to recompile the run-time executable, two of the utilities and certain standard DLLs. Documentation is included. Requires a registered copy of WorldGroup, the Phar Lap 2861DOC-Extender SDK or Borland C++, Visual Basic Pro 3.0 and 3-D Widgets from Sheridan Software. Additional applications, such as video conferencing, active HTML, multi-threading, animation and end-to-end online publishing solutions, and more can be added at any time, on a request by WCO basis. REQUIREMENTS Each WCO Server software license will require a Window NT Server (3.51 or 4.0) Pentium machine with a minimum of 32 MB RAM and a minimum of 200MB free hard drive space. The WCO Server software will include support for modem/serial dial-up user connections, TCP/IP user connections, and Novell SPX user connections; however, it is the responsibility of [WCO/END-USER] and/or each customer to provide the connectivity hardware (for examples, modems and multiport 15 serial boards) and network connections, management, and configuration for each system. Each WCO Server will also support Internet e-mail (also with support for MIME-encoded file attachments), file transfers (ftp), newsgroups, incoming and outgoing telnet access, a basic Web server, and proxy Web access for users; however, it is up to [WCO/END-USER] and/or each customer to provide the Internet connection 1/4 terminating in a TCP/IP network connection on the NT server 3/4 and any and all equipment and services necessary to establish that connection (for example, T1 lines, routers, wireless antennas, etc.). As part of that connection, [WCO/END-USER] and/or the customer will also need an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to hook the system to the Internet's backbone, as well as to provide a Domain Name Service (DNS) server and an NNTP newsgroup server, at least one of each at a minimum, and provide/register domain names and IP addresses for each server. Each WCO Client software will require a 386 or better IBM PC-compatible machine running Windows 3.1. Windows 95, or Windows NT 3.51 or higher with a minimum of 8MB RAM and a minimum of 20MB free hard drive space. Each WCO Client machine will also need a connection 3/4 via TCP/IP, Novell 8PX, or dial-up modem 3/4 to the WCO Server in order to use the service. A Web browser will be needed for each client as well. DOS SERVER SUBSTITUTION OPTION The above models are based on Windows NT-driven WCO Servers. Alternatively, Galacticomm can substitute all or some servers of these with DOS-based WCO Servers. The feature set would be largely comparable, but it would require the use of a dedicated 486 (for small systems) or Pentium (for large systems) DOS PC. 16 SCHEDULE B List of Current ISV's ISV/PRODUCER RETAIL PRICE ------------ ------------ GALACTICOMM Web Cast 699.99 DATASAFE Omni-Mail w/POS Dial 749.00 Visaman 49.00 Multimedia Registry 199.00 Marketplace 299.00 Auto Subscription 100.00 Global Power 99.00 ANNEX System Sentinal 150.00 MOUNTAIN ROSE Major CD 225.00 Mountain Mail 249.00 File Library Extensions 149.00 Major CD LAN Option 89.00 WorldGroup Statistics 149.00 HIGH VELOCITY Menu Magician 150.00 Auto Valitator 80.00 The Newsroom 80.00 SITIUS Employment Service 119.00 VITCOM TCP/TP 700.00 DIALSOFT DS-DOS 99.00 PRODESIGN Agenda 199.00 17 EX-10.46 52 EXHIBIT 10.46 WEB HOSTING AGREEMENT This agreement shall void and nullify any and all previous agreements to this date between Galacticomm and Horst Entertainment Inc.
