        <footnote id="F1">The 297,674 shares were acquired by TSTC International Holding Company (&quot;TSTC&quot;) pursuant to a continuing right under a Bill of Sale and Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 21, 2002, by and between Axtive Software Corporation (which subsequently changed its name to TSTC), and the issuer.  Pursuant to such documents, TSTC transferred certain intangible assets, including trademarks for &quot;Axtive,&quot; and certain tangible assets to the issuer in consideration of the issuance by the issuer to TSTC of an intial amount of 400,000 shares on June 21, 2002, and, if during the one-year period after such date, the market price per share of the Common Stock had not traded at or above $0.75, an additional number of shares, such that the market value of the aggregate number of shares as of such anniversary date was equal to or greater than $300,000; provided, however, that in no event could the additional issuance exceed 297,674 shares.</footnote>
