On June 7, 2000, the Registrant entered into an Amended and Restated Joint
Venture Agreement with Tech-Catalyst Ventures Inc.("Tech"), of Vancouver,
British Columbia which completely amends, restates, and supersedes the Joint
Venture Agreement dated March 22, 2000 by and between the Registrant and Tech.
Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement, the
Registrant and Tech, through Konnect Corp., a newly formed Delaware corporation,
will join to expand and grow an existing data network developed by Applied
Communications Techniques, Inc. ("ACT"), a subsidiary of Tech.
The original Joint Venture Agreement by and between the Registrant and
Tech, dated March 22, 2000 was amended to adjust and clarify the contributions,
responsibilities, share ownership, and distribution of income to both the
Registrant and Tech in order to more accurately reflect the intent of the
parties to the Joint Venture. Specifically, the Registrant's mandatory capital
contribution will decrease from $1,500,000 to $1,000,000. In addition, the
initial Joint Venture Agreement called for the issuance of Preferred Stock to
the Registrant and Common Stock to Tech, and under the Amended and Restated
Joint Venture Agreement, each party shall receive an equal number of shares of
Common Stock of Konnect Corp.
The complete terms and conditions of the Joint Venture are set forth in the
Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement between the Registrant and Tech
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
