PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, PopMail.com, inc. ("PopMail" or "the Company") consisted of two divisions, the restaurant division (which has been presented as discontinued operations) and the Internet division.

The restaurant division develops, owns and operates restaurants with multiple themed dining rooms designed to appeal to the upscale casual dining market. PopMail has Cafe Odyssey restaurants at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, which opened in June 1998, and in the Denver Pavilions, which opened in March 1999.

During the fiscal quarter ended October 1, 2000, the Company developed a formal plan for the divestiture of the restaurant division. The consolidated financial statements of the Company, included as part of this filing, have thus been restated to reflect the restaurant division as discontinued operations. In March 2001 the Company executed a definitive purchase agreement to sell the net assets of the restaurant division to a group beneficially controlled by several shareholders and creditors of the Company. Closing is expected to occur on or about April 30, 2001.

The Internet marketing division is an affinity and permission based e-marketing company, connecting people with their passions. PopMail accomplished this during 2000 by providing official fan clubs and fan club services for sports teams, clients in the broadcast and entertainment industries, and recording artists. These marketing services included access to preferred tickets, merchandise, exclusive news, chat, discussion, permission marketing and vanity web-based email, official fan sites and access to discounted products related to a sports team, personality or artist. Throughout the majority of 2000, the Internet division consisted of three companies: PopMail Network, Inc. ("PopMail Network"), based in Irving, Texas, is a provider of permission and vanity web based e-mail services to professional sports teams, broadcast stations and other brand name clients in the sports, media and entertainment industries; Fan Asylum, Inc. ("Fan Asylum"), based in San Francisco, California, a provider of official online and offline fan club sites for recording artists in the music industry; and IZ.com, Inc. ("IZ"), which is based in Bellevue, Washington, a provider of digital publishing services, newsletters and technology for high-end brands.

In December 2000, the Company completed the sale of IZ.com as it no longer fit with the Company's ongoing business plan. The Company further refined its ongoing business plan to focus primarily on PopMail Network for several reasons. First, the Company was unable to raise adequate financing to fund the development and growth of all three of its Internet companies. Generally, at the time the Company acquired its Internet companies in the 12 months leading up to June 2000, it appeared there would be adequate financing available in the capital markets to fund all three Internet companies. However, financing available in the Internet capital markets generally became much more difficult to obtain in the third and fourth quarters of 2000. The Company's management decided to divest the operations that were not at or near break-even, on a cash flow basis, as it became clear that financing would not be available to fund all three Internet companies.

Second, advertising rates for web site and email marketing generally began to decrease across the entire Internet marketing sector. The Company's management determined that advertising may be an unreliable and inadequate source of future revenues. Since a primary source of projected revenues for IZ.com was email and website based advertising, the decrease in advertising rates further contributed to management's decision to divest IZ.com.

In February 2001, the Company completed the sale of Fan Asylum, as, for reasons similar to those identified for the sale of IZ.com, it no longer fit with the Company's ongoing business plan.

With the pending sale of the restaurant division and sale of two of its three Internet companies, the Company will focus its financial and other resources on operating and growing PopMail Network. Management believes the core business of PopMail Network represents the greatest potential for the Company to continue to grow and ultimately achieve profitability as: (1) PopMail Network has historically generated strong quarterly growth in revenues and client base; (2) its 200 plus multi-year EnewsNotifierTM ("ENNTM") contracts combined with a low historic annual customer turnover rate have resulted in a strong base of recurring revenues; (3) there is a strong knowledge base among the PopMail Network employees as many have been employed by PopMail Network since inception; (4) competition is generally decreasing with the overall decline in the Internet marketplace; and (5) there are a variety of markets that PopMail Network has yet to pursue and a variety of product and service offerings which it has yet to offer its current client base.

Future revenues and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including the rapidly changing e-marketing and e-commerce community of the Internet and general economic conditions. Currently, the Company's primary source of revenue results from annual license and hosting fees through its ENN email product. Even if the Company can successfully implement its PopMail Network expansion plans, of which there can be no assurance of success, it will continue to be dependent on debt and equity financing alternatives over the next 12 months. The Company also faces all of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in connection with the expansion and development of a new and expanding business. With the growth of PopMail Network, the Company will continue to hire senior management to operate that division. As noted in the Risk Factors section of this Form 10-KSB, the Company has incurred substantial operating losses to date and, as of December 31, 2000, has a deficiency in working capital of approximately $5.5 million, net of any restaurant assets reclassified to net assets held for sale. There can be no assurance of the Company's capacity to achieve and sustain profitable operations, and without additional financing, of which there can be no assurance, the Company may not have sufficient funds to support its operations, retire its indebtedness in the ordinary course of business and pursue its business plan.

In conjunction with its decision to focus its resources on maintaining the value of and growing PopMail Network, the Company is also actively pursuing a merger strategy that would provide additional value to the Company's shareholders. That strategy may ultimately result in the acquisition of the Company, in whole or in part, by a suitable acquirer and/or the potential sale of PopMail Network. Although the Company is in a variety of discussions relating to this strategy, the Company has yet to execute any letters of intent, terms sheets or definitive documents with target companies.

The Company commenced operations as Hotel Mexico, Inc. ("HMI"), which was incorporated in Ohio in January 1994. In 1996, the Company opened its first restaurant (Kenwood) under the trade name Hotel Discovery, and in August 1997, HMI was reorganized as Hotel Discovery, Inc., a Minnesota corporation. During February 1998, the Company changed the name of its restaurant concept from Hotel Discovery to Cafe Odyssey and changed the name of the Company to Cafe Odyssey, Inc.

Pursuant to a merger effective September 1, 1999, the Company acquired popmail.com, inc., a Delaware corporation engaged in the business of providing Internet email services. Following the merger, the Company changed its corporate name from Cafe Odyssey, Inc. to PopMail.com, inc.

On December 3, 1999, ROI Acquisition Corporation, a Texas corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of PopMail, acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of ROI Interactive, LLC ("ROI"), a Texas limited liability company, which provided exclusive email service and permission-based, opt-in marketing services to television stations and major league sports franchises.

Effective February 9, 2000, PopMail acquired IZ.com, Incorporated ("IZ.com"), a Delaware corporation. IZ.com was attempting to integrate the use of multiple media - television, the Internet and email - to reach 18 to 25 year olds and derive commerce. PopMail attempted to build a brand and marketing strategy that would allow it to dominate its target market. As a result of the acquisition, Iz.com changed its strategic focus to apply its multimedia expertise to the email-based marketing business operated by PopMail.

In December 2000, the Company sold the assets of IZ.com to the current management team of IZ.com.

On June 14, 2000, the Company completed its acquisition of Fan Asylum, Inc. ("Fan Asylum"), which managed the official fan club web sites and fan clubs for many recording artists and musical groups. Through its web site management services, Fan Asylum designs the fan club site graphics, creates the content, manages the on-line stores, provides travel packages, provides preferred tickets, sends out weekly email newsletters under the artists brand and hosts the web site for each of its Artists.

In February 2001, the Company sold Fan Asylum to its current management and previous owner.

In September 2000, the Company received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the Company's common stock had failed to maintain a minimum bid price greater than or equal to $1.00 over the preceding thirty consecutive trading days as required under Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4). On October 12, 2000, the Company implemented a 10-for-1 reverse stock split, which allowed the Company to increase its share price over $1.00 (post-split). However, the stock subsequently fell below the minimum bid price requirement and on January 19, 2001, Nasdaq notified the Company that its securities would no longer trade on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, but that the Company's securities were immediately eligible to trade on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTC Bulletin Board"). On January 22, 2001, the Company's securities began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.

As of March 23, 2001, the Company had 10,179,916 post-split shares of common stock, $.01 par value, outstanding. Unless otherwise noted, all references within this 10-KSB have been restated to reflect the Company's post-split common stock numbers.

The Company has adopted a 52-53 week year ending on the Sunday nearest December 31 of each year.

DESCRIPTION OF POPMAIL NETWORK, INC.

PopMail Network provides turnkey email and database management solutions that allow its clients to provide: 1) via ENewsNotifier, or ENN, outbound email distribution and management of email messages tailored to registrants of PopMail Network's clients, and, 2) via PopMailTM, web based affinity email accounts to visitors of our client's sites i.e., joe@yoursitemail.com. PopMail Network has over 225 Clients in the sports, broadcast, , media and entertainment industries. PopMail Network considers its clients' subscribers to ENewsNotifier and PopMail to be "Members" because of their affinity towards, and willingness to receive, information.

MARKET

Rapidly Growing Market: email has historically been and is currently the number one application on the Internet. Jupiter Communications predicts that promotional based email messages will grow by a factor of 22 between 2000 and 2005. Forrester estimates that email will become a $4.8 billion dollar industry by 2004.

Growing Demand and Use for Email: the benefits of using email are low cost and higher response rates compared to traditional advertising and direct mail, global reach, tracking of users interests, ease of use, and near real time delivery.

Unique Position Within a Growing Market: much commercial email is unsolicited and is generic - not targeted to the recipient's needs or interests. The majority of this commercial email is the electronic equivalent of junk mail. Users receive these unsolicited emails from retail and category "opt-in" lists or from lists compiled as they visit various web sites. This approach is increasingly ineffective and disliked by recipients. In fact, growing resentment towards unsolicited commercial email may lead to privacy regulation in the United States.

The opposite of unsolicited email is "permission and affinity-based" marketing which has been "opted-in" by recipients. In other words, recipients have replied positively to a request by a company that they will willingly accept email content from a specified source. The next level of the permission basis is affinity, in which recipients have willingly allied with a group or organization of their choice and have sought information from that group, brand, icon or trusted agent.

SERVICES

At the present time, Network offers two proprietary email services, which are described below.

ENEWSNOTIFIERTM (ENNTM) is a permission marketing email service, which allows clients to collect preference and demographic information from their Members and create a Member database. These organizations can then use this database to send out targeted, personalized and customized messages for marketing purposes. PopMail Network provides the client with a username and password to access the administration area for sending out their own emails. Clients link the services from their site. When a user visits the client's site, they click on the icon that links them to our servers. They then sign up and select the topics of interest to them on the client's custom service.

PopMailTM is an affinity email service that allows clients to offer free Web based email boxes on their home pages. Members sign up for a personal email address that contains their affinity group's name (such as JoeSmith@Yoursitemail.com). Clients benefit from the affinity with their customers and higher traffic on their Web site when registrants visit the client's site to send and receive their email. Clients can also sell advertising.

The Member visits the client's site and clicks on the sign up box on the frame that resides on the Client's site. Each page is customized with the client's look and feel. Each time the Member wants to check their email they visit the client's site and enter their username and password in the boxes on the frame.

At present, PopMail Network targets four vertical markets for its email services: sports, broadcast, media, and entertainment. Companies in these vertical markets typically have customers with a stronger affinity for their product or service - such as a favorite sports team, radio station, personality, or publication. Using PopMail Network's email services allows clients to cut through the clutter and inefficiencies of traditional marketing, and more effectively and efficiently promote and brand their content, products or services to their viewers, listeners, fans and customers on the topics and items already of interest to them. Benefits and examples of these programs in action include:

- Television stations increase ratings by using ENN to notify members, via email, about news stories of interest to them scheduled for broadcast on their station.

- Radio stations advertise their brand and drive traffic to their sites by using PopMail.

- Sports teams provide advanced information to Members, sell tickets and merchandise and sponsor promotions using ENN.

REVENUES

PopMail Network currently generates revenue through the following means:

- Annual license fees

- Monthly hosting fees

- Customization fees

- Set up fees

With adequate financing to build, purchase or partner for additional ENN functionality, PopMail Network intends to grow its revenues by both (1) increasing its client base and (2) leveraging its current and future client base by up-selling additional value-added services, such as mobile messaging capabilities, customer relationship management tools and content management services, among others.

COMPETITION

There are many companies that compete directly or indirectly with PopMail. Clients perceive PopMail's competition to come from the high-end customer relationship management ("CRM") companies, such as e.piphany and Vignette, and from the broad-based list servers, such as Lyris, SparkNet, and YesMail. This broad range of perception runs nearly the entire e-marketing spectrum, from permission-based marketing to SPAM. Ironically, PopMail's services are clearly opt-in and permission-based, however its message delivery cost is competitive with list management companies.

Competitors in customer relationship and outbound email management include public companies such as Critical Path, Digital Impact, Mail.com, Message Media, Lifeminders and Kana Communications. These competitors generally target large organizations that have very broad, sophisticated email marketing needs. There are several small and medium sized privately held companies, such as E2 Communications, that compete in PopMail's market niche. At present, there are few competitors targeting the small and middle market that combine affinity based, branded content with permission based email-marketing services.

With the current economic climate, the number of competitors in both its core competency (permission-based affinity email) and its corollary services (e- commerce, CRM, fan based e-marketing services, and the like) is decreasing.

STRATEGY

PopMail Network plans to employ the following growth strategies:

- Focus on core competence of affinity, permission-based email management and distribution

- Invest in additional salespeople

- Add additional development employees to further focus on high margin, custom work

- Through a combination of internal development and strategic partnerships, invest in development of ENN's functionality

- Filter low margin, legacy licenses out of client base, create a mature product and client base of no more than 400 clients, and upsell additional services such as custom development and additional functionality to client base

- Capitalize on opportunities to acquire either technology or clients at a relatively inexpensive rate as a result of the current economic environment

- Continue to solidify its presence in its current targeted verticals

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Company relies on tradename and trademark protection for its proprietary names and logos. PopMail has not registered or sought to register any patents. The Company seeks to protect its know-how and trade secrets primarily through confidentiality and license agreements.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2000, PopMail employed approximately 15 people, excluding approximately 250 employees in the Company's restaurant operations that are accounted for as discontinued operations. None of PopMail's employees is represented by a collective bargaining organization and the Company has never experienced a work stoppage, strike or labor dispute. The Company believes its relations with its employees are satisfactory.

GOING CONCERN

The Company had a working capital deficit of $5,545,000 at December 31, 2000, (net of assets held for sale). Cash and equivalents were $20,000 at December 31, 2000, representing a decrease of approximately $1,116,000 from the cash and equivalents of $1,136,137 at January 2, 2000. The Company's ability to continue its present operations and successfully implement future expansion plans is contingent upon its ability to raise additional capital, increase its revenues, and ultimately attain and sustain profitable operations. Without additional financing, the cash generated from the Company's current operations will not be adequate to fund operations and service its indebtedness during 2001. Management intends to continue to raise additional capital to fund the ongoing operations of the Company. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or on any terms whatsoever. In the event the Company is unable to fund its operations and its business plan, it will be unable to continue as a going concern.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock is very risky. You may lose the entire amount of your investment. Prior to making an investment decision, you should carefully review the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report and consider the following risk factors (all share amounts are post-split values):

WE HAVE INCURRED LOSSES TO DATE AND WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING IN ORDER TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS AND PURSUE OUR BUSINESS PLAN.

We incurred net losses of approximately $122.5 million in 2000 and $24.2 million in 1999, and had a working capital deficit of approximately $5.5 million as of December 31, 2000. Our ability to continue our present operations and successfully implement our expansion plans is contingent upon our ability to increase our revenues and ultimately attain and sustain profitable operations. Without additional financing, the cash generated from our current operations will not be adequate to fund operations and service our indebtedness during 2001. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or on any terms whatsoever. In the event that we are unable to fund our operations and our business plan, we will be unable to continue as a going concern.

CERTAIN CREDITORS OF THE COMPANY ARE SECURED BY ALL OF THE COMPANY'S ASSETS AND, IF THE COMPANY IS IN DEFAULT OF CERTAIN LOAN PROVISIONS, THE CREDITOR COULD TAKE POSSESSION OF THE THOSE ASSETS

The Company is indebted to GSI Ventures, LLC ("GSI"), an entity controlled by a former director and officer and a current shareholder of the Company, and The Shaar Fund Ltd. ("Shaar"), a shareholder of the Company, for a total of $900,000 as of December 31, 2000. GSI and Shaar are secured by a first priority lien on all of the assets of the Company except the restaurant division assets of which they have a second priority lien, including the stock and assets of PopMail Network and all of the other assets of PopMail.com, Inc. If the Company is in default under these convertible promissory notes, the creditors may foreclose on their security interest(s) and take possession of a portion or all of the Company's assets. As of December 31, 2000, the Company is not in default of any of the loan provisions of the aforementioned convertible promissory notes. However, as of February 1, 2001, the Company is in default of certain loan covenants that could result in the creditors beginning the foreclosure proceedings. Specifically, the Company was delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and the Company failed to make an interest payment. Both conditions are events of default, or become events of default with notice to the Company, under the provisions of the promissory notes. The delisting provision is not an event of default unless the creditors provide the Company 30 days notice of their intent to place the Company in default after delisting from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. On March 23, 2001, the creditors waived the event of default resulting from the missed interest payment and agreed to extend the February 1, 2001 interest payment due date to May 1, 2001.

A CERTAIN CREDITOR OF THE COMPANY IS SECURED BY ALL OF THE ASSETS OF THE COMPANY'S RESTAURANT DIVISION AND, IF THE COMPANY IS IN DEFAULT OF CERTAIN LOAN PROVISIONS, THE CREDITOR COULD TAKE POSSESSION OF THE RESTAURANT ASSETS

The Company is indebted to Fairview Partners for $1.5 million as of December 31, 2000. Fairview Partners holds a secured interest in the assets of the Company's restaurant division, which have been accounted for as discontinued operations. If the Company is in default under certain terms of this convertible promissory note, Fairview Partners may foreclose on their security interest(s) and take possession of a portion or all of the Company's restaurant assets. As of December 31, 2000, the Company is not in default of any of the loan provisions of the aforementioned convertible promissory note. However, as of January 1, 2001, the Company is in default of a certain loan covenant that could result in the creditors beginning the foreclosure proceedings. Specifically, the Company did not make a debt service payment of $100,000 due on January 1, 2001. Subsequently, the Company did not make required debt service payments of $100,000 on February 1, 2001 or March 1, 2001 either. As of March 5, 2001, Fairview Partners is prevented from starting foreclosure proceedings through a standstill agreement effective through May 4, 2001. In addition, Fairview Partners has agreed to release the Company from its obligation to repay the $1.5 million principal balance if it is granted certain rights to the restaurant division's cash flows by the potential buyers of the Company's restaurant division. The Company expects the sale of the restaurant assets to occur on or about April 30, 2001. Therefore, if the sale is consummated, Fairview Partners will have no additional claims against the Company other than for approximately $70,000 of accrued interest expense through February 28, 2001. If the Company does not close on the sale of the restaurants and/or Fairview Partners is not granted the requested cash flow rights, then Fairview will have the right to foreclose on the assets of the Company's restaurant division.

THE DELISTING OF OUR COMMON STOCK FROM THE NASDAQ SMALLCAP MARKET HAS REDUCED THE ABILITY OF INVESTORS TO DISPOSE OF OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE SECONDARY MARKET

Trading in our common stock is conducted in the over-the-counter markets in the so-called "pink sheets" or the National Association of Securities Dealer's "Electronic Bulletin Board." Consequently, the liquidity of our common stock is not as high as that of a company's common stock traded on a larger national exchange, such as the Nasdaq, the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange. The liquidity is limited not only in the number of shares that could be bought and sold, but also by delays in the timing of the transactions, reduction in the coverage of our securities by security analysts and the news media, and lower prices for our securities than might otherwise prevail. In addition, our common stock is subject to certain rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to "penny stocks." These rules require broker- dealers to make special suitability determinations for purchasers other than established customers and certain institutional investors and to receive the purchasers' prior written consent for a purchase transaction prior to sale. Consequently, these "penny stock rules" adversely affect the ability of broker- dealers to sell our common stock and adversely affect your ability to sell shares of our common stock in the secondary market.

WE ARE DEPENDENT ON THE ONGOING SERVICES OF CERTAIN OF OUR EXECUTIVES, THE LOSS OF WHICH COULD HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON OUR PROFITABILITY AND THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR STOCK.

Our plan of business development and our day-to-day operations rely heavily on the experience of the executive management team. The loss of any person could adversely affect the success of our operations and strategic plans and, consequently, have a detrimental effect on the market price of our stock.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO HIRE QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES TO HELP IMPLEMENT AND MANAGE OUR EXPANSION PLANS, WHICH INABILITY COULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT.

Our success will depend in large part upon our ability to supplement our existing management team. We will need to hire additional corporate level and management employees to help implement and operate our plans for expansion of our Internet marketing services division. The demand for individuals with management skills is high and many other businesses, most of which have greater name recognition and resources than the Company, compete for their services. Any inability or delay in obtaining additional key employees could have a material adverse effect on our expansion plans and, consequently, the market value of our stock.

DUE TO OUR LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY, YOU MAY FIND IT DIFFICULT TO ASSESS OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE PROFITABLY.

On September 1, 1999, we completed a merger with popmail.com, inc., a provider of Internet email services to radio stations across the country. On December 3, 1999, we acquired ROI Interactive, LLC, a provider of permission and affinity based email services to broadcast stations, professional sports teams and other brand name clients in the media and entertainment industries. On February 9, 2000, we acquired IZ.com Incorporated, which we sold in December 2000, and is a provider of digital publishing services, newsletters and technology for high-end brands. On June 15, 2000, we acquired Fan Asylum, Inc., which we sold in February 2001, and is a provider of official online and offline fan club sites for recording artists in the music industry. Consequently, we face the added risks, expenses and difficulties related to developing and operating a new business enterprise. Given our lack of significant operating history, investors may have difficulty assessing the many factors, which will determine our ability to generate future profits.

CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS CONTROL SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND MAY INFLUENCE OUR AFFAIRS.

Due to certain acquisitions and equity and debt financing transactions, certain individuals and entities directly or indirectly control large amounts of our outstanding common stock as of March 23, 2001, as follows:

James L. Anderson (7.4%)

Gulfstream Financial Partners (13.9%)

Blake Capital Partners (15.5%)

Accordingly, these individuals or groups may have the ability to determine the election of members of the Board of Directors and determine the approval of corporate transactions and other matters requiring shareholder approval. Unless and until these shareholders substantially decrease their percentage beneficial ownership in our common stock, they will continue to have significant influence over our affairs. Gulfstream Financial Partners is controlled by a director of the Company.

DUE TO THE LARGE NUMBER OF OUTSTANDING OPTIONS, WARRANTS, CONVERTIBLE DEBT AND CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK, OUR SHAREHOLDERS FACE A RISK OF SUBSTANTIAL FUTURE DILUTION AND DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

As of December 31, 2000, we have a total of 10,677,971 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to our stock options plans, outstanding preferred stock, convertible debt and common purchase warrants. Most of these shares have either been registered for resale or are subject to agreements providing for their registration for resale under certain circumstances. Accordingly, our existing shareholders face a substantial risk of dilution and the trading price of our common stock may decrease as these convertible securities are exercised or converted into shares of common stock and subsequently offered for sale through Over the Counter Bulletin Board.

THERE IS A RISK THAT DUE TO THE LIMITATIONS PLACED ON THE CONVERSION OF THE SERIES G PREFERRED SHARES, THE PREFERRED SHAREHOLDER'S INVESTMENT MAY NOT BE CONVERTED INTO COMMON STOCK AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REDEEMED IN CASH.

The total number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock and upon exercise of the Series G Warrant cannot exceed 20 percent of the number of shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding on May 2, 2000. In the event the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock and Warrant are unable to convert preferred shares into common stock because these limitations have been reached, we would be required to redeem the Series G Preferred Shares in cash at 105 percent of the stated value plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. It is likely that in such case we will not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents necessary to redeem the Series G Preferred Shares in cash.

WE RELY HEAVILY ON OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND OTHER PROPRIETARY INFORMATION; FAILURE TO PROTECT AND MAINTAIN THESE RIGHTS AND INFORMATION COULD PREVENT US FROM COMPETING EFFECTIVELY.

Our success and ability to compete are substantially dependent on our internally developed technologies and trademarks, which we seek to protect through a combination of trade secret and trademark law, as well as confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, consultants, and corporate and strategic partners. If we are unable to prevent the unauthorized use of our proprietary information or if our competitors are able to develop similar technologies independently, the competitive benefits of our technologies, intellectual property rights and proprietary information will be diminished.

WE MAY NOT PAY DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK, IN WHICH EVENT YOUR ONLY RETURN ON INVESTMENT, IF ANY, WILL OCCUR ON THE SALE OF OUR STOCK.

To date, we have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not intend to do so in the foreseeable future. Rather, we intend to use any future earnings to fund our operations and the growth of our business. Accordingly, the only return on an investment in our common stock will occur upon its sale.

REQUESTS FOR INCREASING THE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK COULD CREATE FUTURE DILUTION.

A special meeting of the Shareholders of PopMail was held on November 27, 2000, to approve an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the number of authorized shares from 10,000,000 shares of undesignated capital stock to 25,000,000 shares of undesignated capital stock. The amendment was approved. In addition, it is possible and likely that the Company will again request an increase in the number of authorized shares during 2001.

PURSUANT TO ITS AUTHORITY TO DESIGNATE AND ISSUE SHARES OF OUR STOCK, AS IT DEEMS APPROPRIATE, OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS MAY ASSIGN RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES TO CURRENTLY UNDESIGNATED SHARES, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS AS A COMMON SHAREHOLDER.

Our authorized capital consists of 25,000,000 shares of capital stock. Our Board of Directors, without any action by the shareholders, may designate and issue shares in such classes or series (including classes or series of preferred stock) as it deems appropriate and establish the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, including dividends, liquidation and voting rights. As of March 23, 2001, we have 10,179,916 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, 100,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, 294,910 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, and 585,000 shares of Series G 10% Convertible Preferred Stock. As of March 23, 2001, a further 6,560,259 shares of common stock have been reserved as follows:

- A maximum of approximately 18,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Series E Preferred Shares

- A maximum of 756,739 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock

- A maximum of 531,231 shares of common stock reserved for issuance in connection with the Series G 10% Convertible Preferred Stock

- 3,661,976 shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants

- 1,592,313 shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding employee and directors options

The rights of holders of preferred stock and other classes of common stock that may be issued could be superior to the rights granted to holders of the Units issued in our initial public offering. Our Board's ability to designate and issue such undesignated shares could impede or deter an unsolicited tender offer or takeover proposal. Further, the issuance of additional shares having preferential rights could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of holders of common stock. The Series F Convertible Preferred shareholders currently have a liquidation preference amounting to approximately $18 million as of March 23, 2001.

MINNESOTA LAW MAY INHIBIT OR DISCOURAGE TAKEOVERS, WHICH COULD REDUCE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR STOCK.

As a corporation organized under Minnesota law, we are subject to certain Minnesota statutes, which regulate business combinations and restrict the voting rights of certain persons acquiring shares of its stock. By impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving the Company or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, these regulations could adversely affect the market value of our stock.

THE LIMITATIONS ON DIRECTOR LIABILITY CONTAINED IN OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS MAY DISCOURAGE SUITS AGAINST DIRECTORS FOR BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY.

As permitted by Minnesota law, our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that members of our Board of Directors are not personally liable to you or the Company for monetary damages resulting from a breach of their fiduciary duties. These limitations on director liability may discourage shareholders from suing directors for breach of fiduciary duty and may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation brought against a director by shareholders on the Company's behalf. Furthermore, our Bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Minnesota law. All of these provisions limit the extent to which the threat of legal action against our directors for any breach of their fiduciary duties will prevent such breach from occurring in the first instance.

PURSUING AND COMPLETING POTENTIAL ACQUISITIONS COULD DIVERT MANAGEMENT ATTENTION AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND MAY NOT PRODUCE THE DESIRED BUSINESS RESULTS.

We do not have specific personnel dedicated solely to pursuing and completing acquisitions. As a result, if we pursue any acquisition, our management, in addition to fulfilling their operational responsibilities, could spend significant time, management resources and financial resources to pursue and complete the acquisition and integrate the acquired business with our existing business.

To finance any acquisition, we may use capital stock or cash or a combination of both. Alternatively, we may borrow money from a bank or other lender. If we use capital stock, our shareholders may experience dilution. If we use cash or debt financing, our financial liquidity would be reduced. In addition, acquisitions may result in nonrecurring charges or the amortization of significant goodwill that could adversely affect our ability to achieve and maintain profitability.

Despite the investment of these management and financial resources and completion of due diligence with respect to these efforts, an acquisition may fail to produce the expected revenues, earnings or business and an acquired service or technology may not perform as expected for a variety of reasons, including:

- Difficulties in the assimilation of the operations, technologies, products and personnel of the acquired company

- Risks of entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience

- Expenses of any undisclosed or potential legal liabilities of the acquired company

- The applicability of rules and regulations that might restrict our ability to operate

- The potential loss of key employees of the acquired company.

If we make acquisitions in the future and the acquired businesses fail to perform as expected, our business operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

 

INTERNET DIVISION

WE HAVE ENTERED INTO NEW BUSINESS VENTURES IN AN EVOLVING INDUSTRY IN WHICH THERE REMAIN UNPROVEN BUSINESS AND REVENUE MODELS.

The Internet and email industry is rapidly evolving, extremely competitive, and the market place for internet-related shares has been very volatile. Furthermore, the email business continues to indicate changing revenue models in the market place. Consequently, there can be no assurance that sufficient revenues will be generated to support our current operations and other capital requirements.

IN LIGHT OF RECENT CONSOLIDATION IN THE BROADCAST INDUSTRY, THE LOSS OF ANY SIGNIFICANT AFFILIATE WOULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR OPERATIONS.

The last few years have brought substantial concentration of power among a few players in the broadcast industry. Consequently, significant portions of the industry are controlled by relatively few organizations. We currently have over 200 clients. As consolidation increases, these contracts may be merged or lost due to the landscape of the industry. In light of such consolidation, however, the loss of any of these significant affiliation contracts or our inability to enter into contracts with other clients in the broadcast industry would negatively impact our operations.

OUR EMAIL BASED PRODUCTS ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE INTERNET.

The success of our services and products will depend in large part upon the continued development and expansion of the Internet. The Internet has experienced, and is expected to continue to experience, significant and geometric growth in the number of users and the amount of traffic. There can be no assurance that the Internet infrastructure will continue to be able to support the demands placed on it by this continued growth. In addition, the Internet could lose its viability due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols (for example, the next-generation Internet Protocol) to handle increased levels of Internet activity, or due to increased governmental regulation. There can be no assurance that the infrastructure or complementary services necessary to make the Internet a viable commercial marketplace will be developed, or, if developed, that the Internet will become a viable commercial marketplace for services and products such as those we offer. If the necessary infrastructure or complementary services or facilities are not developed, or if the Internet does not become a viable commercial marketplace, our business, results of operations, and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.

OUR FUTURE SUCCESS WILL DEPEND ON INCREASED ACCEPTANCE OF THE INTERNET AS A MEDIUM OF COMMERCE.

The market for Internet email, private label newsletters and other services is relatively new and evolving rapidly. Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to provide services that are accepted by our existing and future clients as an integral part of their business model in providing content and information to their fans and viewers. The level of demand for Internet email, private label newsletters and other services will depend upon a number of factors, including the following:

- The growth in consumer access to, and acceptance of, new interactive technologies such as the Internet

- The adoption of Internet-based business models

- The development of technologies that facilitate two-way communications between companies and target audiences

- Acquiring members to the brands services

Significant issues concerning the commercial use of Internet technologies, including security, reliability, privacy, cost, ease of use and quality of service, may inhibit the growth of services that use these technologies. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to meet these challenges, which must be met in a timely and cost-effective manner. We cannot be sure that we will succeed in effectively meeting these challenges, and our failure to do so could materially and adversely affect our business.

Industry analysts and others have made many predictions concerning the growth of the Internet as a business medium. Many of these historical predictions have overstated the growth of the Internet. These predictions should not be relied upon as conclusive. The market for our Internet email and other services may not continue to grow, our services may not be adopted and individual personal computer users in business or at home may not use the Internet or other interactive media for commerce, interaction and communication. If the market for Internet email and other services fails to sustain growth, or develops more slowly than expected, or if our services do not achieve market acceptance, our business would be materially and adversely affected.

INTERNET STOCKS ARE SUBJECT TO MARKET VOLATILITY.

The stock market in general, and the market prices for Internet-related companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. These fluctuations may adversely affect our stock price.

If Internet usage does not continue to grow or its infrastructure fails, our business will suffer. If the Internet does not gain increased acceptance for business-to-consumer electronic commerce, our business will not grow or become profitable. We cannot be certain that the infrastructure or complementary services necessary to maintain the Internet as a useful and easy means of transferring documents and data will continue to develop. The Internet infrastructure may not support the demands that growth may place on it and the performance and reliability of the Internet may decline.

THERE IS A RISK THAT GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF THE INTERNET COULD BECOME MORE EXTENSIVE.

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 a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet, covering issues such as user privacy, pricing, characteristics, and quality of products and service. The Telecommunications Reform Act of 1996 imposes criminal penalties on anyone who distributes obscene, indecent, or patently offensive communications on the Internet. Other nations, including Germany, have taken actions to restrict the free flow of material deemed to be objectionable on the Internet. The adoption of any additional laws or regulations may decrease the growth of the Internet, which could in turn decrease the demand for our services and products, and increase our cost of doing business or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, the applicability to the Internet of existing laws in various jurisdictions governing issues such as property ownership, libel, and personal privacy is uncertain and will take years to resolve. Any such new legislation or regulation could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GENERATE SUFFICIENT REVENUE IF THE ACCEPTANCE OF ONLINE MARKETING, WHICH IS NEW AND UNPREDICTABLE, DOES NOT DEVELOP AND EXPAND AS WE ANTICIPATE.

We plan to directly and indirectly derive a substantial portion of our future revenues from online direct marketing in our branded email, fan club newsletters and Web-based programs. If these services do not continue to achieve market acceptance, we may not generate sufficient revenue to support our continued operations. The Internet has not existed long enough as an advertising medium to demonstrate its effectiveness relative to traditional advertising. Advertisers and advertising agencies that have historically relied on traditional advertising remain slow to adopt online advertising. Many potential advertisers have limited or no experience using email or the Web as an advertising medium. They may have allocated only a limited portion of their advertising budgets to online advertising, or may find online advertising to be less effective for promoting their products and services than traditional advertising media. If the market for online advertising and direct marketing fails to develop or develops more slowly than we expect, we may not sustain revenue growth or achieve or sustain profitability.

The market for email direct marketing in general is vulnerable to the negative public perception associated with unsolicited email, known as "spam." Public perception, press reports or governmental action related to spam could reduce the overall demand for email advertising in general, which could reduce our revenue and prevent us from achieving or sustaining profitability.

IF WE DO NOT RESPOND TO OUR COMPETITION EFFECTIVELY, WE MAY LOSE CURRENT CLIENTS AND MEMBERS AND FAIL TO ATTRACT NEW CLIENTS AND PARTNERS, REDUCING OUR REVENUES AND HARMING OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS.

We compete in high profile industries where our email and other service offerings must meet the demands of our clients and their fans. It is imperative that we continue to make enhancements to our email and other services if we are to continue growing our client and member base. Failure to make service and product enhancements could significantly impact our financial results.

WE DEPEND HEAVILY ON OUR NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE AND IF THIS FAILS IT COULD RESULT IN UNANTICIPATED EXPENSES AND PREVENT OUR MEMBERS FROM EFFECTIVELY UTILIZING OUR SERVICES, WHICH COULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN MEMBERS.

Our ability to successfully create and deliver our email messages and private label newsletters depends in large part on the capacity, reliability and security of our networking hardware, software and telecommunications infrastructure. Failures within our network infrastructure could result in unanticipated expenses to address such failures and could prevent our members from effectively utilizing our services, which could prevent us from retaining and attracting members and advertisers. While our technology platform is considered state of the art, we do not currently have fully redundant systems or a formal disaster recovery plan in place for all companies. Our system is susceptible to natural and man-made disasters, including earthquakes, fires, floods, power loss and vandalism. Further, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, electronic break-ins or other similar disruptive problems could adversely affect the operation of our systems. Our insurance policies may not adequately compensate us for any losses that may occur due to any damages or interruptions in our systems. Accordingly, we could be required to make capital expenditures in the event of unanticipated damage. In addition, our members depend on Internet service providers, or ISPs, for access to our Web site. Due to the rapid growth of the Internet, ISPs and Websites have experienced significant system failures and could experience outages, delays and other difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our systems. These problems could harm our business by preventing our members from effectively utilizing our services.

WE MAY INCUR LIABILITY FOR THE INVASION OF PRIVACY.

The Federal Trade Commission has investigated businesses that have used personally identifiable information without permission or in violation of a stated privacy policy. We have established and communicated to our members a privacy policy. In the event that we convey personally identifiable information to our corporate customers without permission or in violation of our stated privacy policy, we may incur liability for the unlawful invasion of privacy.

RESTAURANT DIVISION

WE HAVE DEVELOPED A FORMAL PLAN FOR THE DIVESTITURE OF THE RESTAURANT DIVISION AND HAVE RECLASSIFIED THE DIVISION AS DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.

There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to complete the sale of the Restaurants, as contemplated, or upon the terms acceptable to the Company. Accordingly, the Company is still subject to certain risks associated with the Restaurant Division.

OUR ABILITY, OR INABILITY, TO RESPOND TO VARIOUS COMPETITIVE FACTORS AFFECTING THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY MAY AFFECT THE PROITABILITY AND OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY.

The restaurant industry is highly competitive and is affected by changes in consumer preferences, as well as by national, regional and local economic conditions, and demographic trends. Discretionary spending priorities, traffic patterns, tourist travel, weather conditions, employee availability and the type, number and location of competing restaurants, among other factors, will also directly affect the performance of our restaurants. Changes in any of these factors in the markets where we currently operate our restaurants could adversely affect the results of our operations. Furthermore, the restaurant industry in general is highly competitive based on the type, quality and selection of the food offered, price, service, location and other factors and, as a result, has a high failure rate. The themed restaurant industry is relatively young, is particularly dependent on tourism and has seen the emergence of a number of new competitors. We compete with numerous well- established competitors, including national, regional and local restaurant chains, many of which have greater financial, marketing, personnel and other resources and longer operating histories than us. As a result, we may be unable to respond to the various competitive factors affecting the restaurant industry.

WE HAVE ENTERED INTO NON-CANCELABLE LEASES UNDER WHICH WE ARE OBLIGATED TO MAKE PAYMENTS FOR TERMS OF 12 TO 15 YEARS.

We have entered into long-term leases relating to the Kenwood, Mall of America and Denver restaurants. These leases are non-cancelable by us (except in limited circumstances) and range in term from 12 to 15 years. Although we have sold the Kenwood restaurant and assigned the related lease to an unrelated third party, we remain the primary obligor under the lease. If we decide to close any of our existing restaurants, we may nonetheless be committed to perform our obligations under the applicable lease, which would include, among other things, payment of the applicable base rent for the balance of the respective lease term. Such continued obligations increase our chances of closing a restaurant without receiving an adequate return on our investment.

AMONG OTHER ECONOMIC FACTORS OVER WHICH WE HAVE NO CONTROL, THE SUCCESS OF OUR RESTAURANTS WILL DEPEND ON CONSUMER PREFERENCES AND THE PREVAILING LEVEL OF DISCRETIONARY CONSUMER SPENDING.

The success of our restaurant division depends to a significant degree on a number of economic conditions over which we have no control, including:

- Discretionary consumer spending

- The overall success of the malls, entertainment centers and other venues where Cafe Odyssey restaurants are or will be located

- Economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income

- The continued popularity of themed restaurants in general and the Cafe Odyssey concept in particular

Furthermore, most themed restaurants are especially susceptible to shifts in consumer preferences because they open at or near capacity and frequently respond to such shifts by experiencing a decline in revenue growth or of actual revenues. An adverse change in any or all of these conditions would have a negative effect on our operations and the market value of our common stock.

OUR RESTAURANT DIVISION IS SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS THAT COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS.

The restaurant industry, and to a lesser extent, the retail merchandising industry, are subject to numerous federal, state, and local government regulations, including those relating to:

- The preparation and sale of food

- Building and zoning requirements

- Environmental protections

- Minimum wage requirements

- Overtime

- Working and safety conditions

- The sale of alcoholic beverages

- Sanitation

- Relationships with employees

- Unemployment

- Workers compensation

- Citizenship requirements

Any change in the current status of such regulations, including an increase in employee benefits costs, workers' compensation insurance rates, or other costs associated with employees, could substantially increase our compliance and labor costs. Because we pay many of our restaurant-level personnel rates based on either the federal or the state minimum wage, increases in the minimum wage would lead to increased labor costs. In addition, our operating results would be adversely affected in the event we fail to maintain our food and liquor licenses. Furthermore, restaurant operating costs are affected by increases in unemployment tax rates, sales taxes and similar costs over which we have no control.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

THE MALL OF AMERICA RESTAURANT

LOCATION

In addition to the fixed minimum rent and percentage rent, the Company is required to pay its proportionate share of common area maintenance costs: taxes, insurance, maintenance and operating costs.

THE KENWOOD RESTAURANT

LOCATION

The Kenwood Restaurant opened in December 1996 under the name Hotel Discovery and was closed by the Company in August 1999. The property is approximately 17,000 square feet in size on three levels and is located at the northeast corner of Sycamore Plaza at Kenwood Shopping Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. In November 1999, the Company assigned the related lease (described below) in connection with the sale of restaurant assets, which was completed in April 2000, to a third party, who subsequently reopened the restaurant under another name and continues to operate it. Although the third party is responsible for all payments due under the lease, PopMail remains primarily obligated under the lease.

DESCRIPTION OF LEASE

The initial term of the lease is 15 years with an option for two additional five-year periods. The lease provides for the payment of both a monthly fixed minimum rent and a percentage rent based on gross sales in excess of an escalating base amount. The monthly fixed minimum rent is $12,833 for the first five years of the initial lease term, $14,117 for the sixth through tenth years of the initial lease term, $15,400 for the eleventh through fifteenth years of the initial lease term.

In addition to the fixed minimum rent, the lease provides for the payment of a percentage rent equal to 4% of the gross sales from the restaurant in excess of the following annual gross sales amounts; $3,850,000 for the first five years of the initial lease term, $4,235,000 for the sixth through tenth years of the initial lease term, $4,620,000 for the eleventh through fifteenth years of the initial lease term.

IRVING TEXAS OFFICE FACILITIES

PopMail's Internet e-marketing division subleases approximately 8,500 square feet of office space in Irving, Texas. PopMail's sublease commenced on September 1, 1998 and expires on December 31, 2001. Rentals of approximately $11,412 per month ($136,944 annually) are required under the sublease, in addition to nominal charges for common area maintenance.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

In October 2000, the Company executed a $600,000 non-interest bearing promissory note to Great Western Business Services, Inc. ("Great Western"). The Company received cash proceeds of $500,000 and was to repay $600,000 to Great Western. The note was originally due within 30 days and is secured by certain of the Company's computer hardware and software, among other assets. The Company failed to repay the note in November 2000 and the lender claimed possession of the computer hardware and software in December 2000. Also in December 2000, the lender sued the Company demanding immediate repayment and requested a temporary restraining order against the Company preventing it from selling any of the other assets in which the lender maintained a security interest, including the restaurant division. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had not repaid the note and is in default under the terms of the note. In February 2001, the Company and the lender agreed to revised note terms and settled the dispute. The Company agreed to allow the lender to sell the collateral represented by the computer hardware and software, of which it maintained possession, and apply the sales proceeds against the principal balance of the loan. The lender agreed to reduce the original principal amount of the note from $600,000 to $500,000 and further reduce the new balance by the net cash proceeds resulting from the lender's sale of the collateral, reduce the interest rate to 10%, extend to five years the maturity date of the note's principal and interest, and release the Company from all future claims.

The Company is involved in certain other legal actions in the ordinary course of its business. Although the outcomes of any such other legal actions cannot be predicted, in the opinion of management there is no legal proceeding pending against or involving the Company for which the outcome is likely to have a material adverse effect upon the business, operating results and financial condition of the Company.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

On November 27, 2000, a Special Meeting of Shareholders of PopMail.com, Inc. ("Annual Meeting") was held. There were 4,846,839 shares of Common Stock outstanding entitled to vote at the meeting and an additional 662,722 common shares underlying the Series F Preferred Stock that were also entitled to vote, amounting to a grand total of 5,509,561 shares entitled to vote. A total of 3,101,498 shares were represented at the meeting. The only matter to be voted upon was:

To approve an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the number of authorized shares from 10,000,000 shares of undesignated capital stock to 25,000,000 shares of undesignated capital stock.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK

Since November 3, 1997, the common stock of the Company has been traded in the over-the counter market and quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Initially, the Company's common stock was quoted under the symbol "HOTD". On May 21, 1998, the Company changed its corporate name from Hotel Discovery, Inc. to Cafe Odyssey, Inc. In conjunction with this change, effective May 24, 1998, the Company's symbol for its common stock was changed to "CODY." Effective September 1, 1999, the Company acquired popmail.com, inc. and changed its name to PopMail.com, Inc. In connection with the change in the Company's name, the Company's symbol for its common stock was changed to "POPM." The Company's common stock was delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on Janaury 22, 2001. Trading is now conducted in the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the same symbol of "POPM."

The following table sets forth the high and low bid prices of the Company's common stock for the periods indicated and have been adjusted to reflect the Company's October 2000 10-for-1 reverse stock split. The bid quotations represent inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-ups, mark-downs or commissions, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions:

The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on its capital stock. The Company does not intend to pay any cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future, as the current policy of the Company's Board of Directors is to retain all earnings, if any, to support operations and finance expansion.

 ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion should be read in connection with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.

The Company has adopted a 52-53-week year ending on the Sunday nearest December 31 of each year. All references herein to "2000" represent a 52-week fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 and "1999" represents a 52-week fiscal year ended January 2, 2000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND JANUARY 2, 2000

NET REVENUES

Net revenues for the Internet marketing division were $3,010,000 and $107,000 in 2000 and 1999, respectively. 1999 revenues represent only one month's license and hosting fees for PopMail Network's ENewsNotifier product after the Company's acquisition of ROI and the ENewsNotifier product in December 1999. The increase in revenues of $2,903,000 is attributable to (1) the fact that there are a full 12 months of EnewsNotifer revenues in 2000 as compared with only one month in 1999, and (2) the additional revenues from IZ.com and Fan Asylum after the Company's acquisition of these two companies in 2000.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

Depreciation and amortization expense for 2000 and 1999 was $29,629,000 and $3,924,000, respectively. This primarily represents the amortization of the excess of the purchase price and related costs over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. The Company amortizes goodwill on a straight-line basis over a three-year period. As discussed below, in addition to the regular amortization discussed here, the Company wrote-off the majority of its remaining goodwill in December 2000 relating to the entities sold prior to or subsequent to year end. After the write-off, the remaining goodwill to be amortized in the future relates only to the goodwill created in the acquisition of ROI and will be amortized through 2002.

The Company incurred general, selling, development and administrative expenses of $15,594,000 in 2000 as compared to $5,012,000 in 1999. This increase reflects 12 months of expense related to the Popmail and ROI operations in 2000 versus six months and one month, respectively in 1999, and the added expenses relating to the operations of IZ.com and Fan Asylum. The majority of these expenses relate to the development of the various products and services relating to its Internet marketing division's growth strategy. The Company had to address the numerous executive and administrative staffing requirements from its mergers and acquisitions, shareholder relationships, and development costs associated with Internet email software creation. The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses during 2001.

The Company's other income and expense consist of interest expense, warrant repricing, debt guarantee cost, financial advisory services, impairment of long- lived assets, and loss on sale of assets. Interest expense, net of interest income, for 2000 was $1,885,000 as compared with $2,308,000 for 1999. This decrease of $423,000 generally relates to the fact that the Company retired a significant amount of its debt during the first six months of 2000 with proceeds of equity financings. The warrant repricing expense in 1999 of $4,539,000 related to the Company's repricing of the warrants related to the Series B Preferred Stock issued in the Popmail merger. No similar repricing occurred in 2000. However the Company did reprice other warrants during 2000 to entice the exercise of warrants throughout the year. These warrants directly reduced additional paid in capital and did not affect earnings. During 1999, the Company recorded costs associated with the guarantees provided for debt financing of $1,608,000. The decrease of $1,455,000 to $155,000 incurred during 2000 was the result of the guarantees expiring in the first quarter of 2000 with the retirement of the related debt. The Company recorded costs associated with services provided by third party financial advisors for 2000 and 1999 of $2,992,000 and $1,489,000, respectively. The increase of $1,503,000 generally relates to the increased number of financings and level of investor relations activities in 2000 versus 1999. These costs were substantially non-cash and were paid with both the issuances of new common stock and warrants. The loss on sale of assets of $2,027,000 recorded in 2000 represents the loss on the sale of the restaurant division's Cincinnati, Ohio restaurant during the second quarter and the additional write-off of the related receivable balance in the fourth quarter due to the uncertainty of collection. The impairment of long-lived assets in 2000, of $66,315,000 generally represents the write-off of goodwill associated with the acquisition of Old PopMail, IZ.com and Fan Asylum. The Company determined that the realizability of any value related to the goodwill associated with those entities was unlikely.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had a working capital deficit of $5,545,000 at December 31, 2000, compared to a deficit of $8,202,000 at January 2, 2000 (net of net assets of discontinued operations). Cash and cash equivalents were $20,000 at December 31, 2000 representing a decrease of $1,116,000 from the cash and cash equivalents of $1,136,000 at January 2, 2000.

During 2000, the Company's principal capital requirements were the purchase of fixed assets for the Internet marketing division of approximately $2,132,000, the retirement of approximately $7,755,000 in notes payable and convertible debt, and the fulfillment of its obligation under a shareholder's common stock put right amounting to $2,000,000. The Company used approximately $14,063,000 in cash for operations and development of its Internet marketing division. The Company generated approximately $25,925,000 in cash from financing activities in 2000.

The Company's primary sources of working capital in 2000 were proceeds from the sale of common and preferred stock, the exercise of warrants, and the issuance of debt. Financing activity in 2000 and 1999 are described in more detail in the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes.

The Company intends to fund operations and future growth of the Internet marketing division, primarily PopMail Network, through additional equity and debt transactions. Management believes it does not currently have sufficient financial resources to meet the Company's working capital needs for the next twelve months from its cash on hand. Therefore, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or on any terms whatsoever. In the event that we are unable to fund our operations, we will be unable to continue as a going concern.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
PopMail.com, inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PopMail.com, inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and January 2, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of PopMail.com, inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and January 2, 2000 and the results of their consolidated operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note A to the financial statements, the Company has suffered significant recurring losses from operations and has a net working capital deficit that raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in note A. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

POPMAIL.COM, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - NATURE OF THE BUSINESS

Background

PopMail.com, Inc. ("the Company" or "PopMail") consists of two divisions, the restaurant division (which has been presented as discontinued operations) and the Internet marketing division.

At December 31, 2000, the Internet division consists of two companies. PopMail Network, Inc. ("PopMail Network"), based in Irving, Texas, is a provider of permission and vanity web based e-mail services to broadcast stations, professional sports teams and other brand name clients in the media and entertainment industries. Fan Asylum, Inc. ("Fan Asylum"), based in San Francisco, California, is a provider of official online and offline fan club sites for recording artists in the music industry. See Notes C and D for a further discussion of the Company's acquisitions and divestitures during the year ended December 31, 2000 and Note P for a further discussion of its divestiture of Fan Asylum in February 2001.

Discontinued Operations and Prior Year Restatement

The restaurant division, Café Odyssey, develops, owns and operates upscale casual restaurants with multiple themed dining rooms. The Company has two Cafe Odyssey restaurants, one at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, which opened in June 1998 and one at the Denver Pavilions, in Denver, Colorado, which opened in March 1999. See Note G for a discussion of the closure of its Cincinnati, Ohio location in September 1999. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared (and restated, in the case of the 1999 financial statements) to reflect the restaurant division as a discontinued operation. See Note D for a further discussion regarding the Company's announcement to divest this division and the terms of the proposed sale of the restaurants.

Going Concern and Default on Loan

During 2000 and 1999 the Company has incurred net losses of $122,150,000 and $20,734,000, respectively, and has used cash in operating activities of $14,063,000 and $5,915,000, respectively. Additionally, the Company had a working capital deficit of $5,545,000 at December 31, 2000, (net of assets held for sale). Cash and equivalents were $20,000 at December 31, 2000, representing a decrease of approximately $1,116,000 from the cash and equivalents of $1,136,137 at January 2, 2000. The Company's ability to continue its present operations and successfully implement future expansion plans is contingent upon its ability to raise additional capital, increase its revenues, and ultimately attain and sustain profitable operations. Without additional financing, the cash generated from the Company's current operations will not be adequate to fund operations and service its indebtedness during 2001. Management intends to continue to raise additional capital to fund the ongoing operations of the Company. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or on any terms whatsoever. In the event the Company is unable to fund its operations and its business plan, it will be unable to continue as a going concern.

As discussed in Note J, effective February 1, 2001 the Company is in default of the covenants of certain convertible loan agreements. Specifically, the Company failed to make interest payments on February 1, 2001. On March 23, 2001, the creditors waived the event of default resulting from the missed interest payment and agreed to extend the February 1, 2001 interest payment due date to May 1, 2001.

As of December 31, 2000, the Company has approximately $3,188,000 of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Absent additional financing or the ability to otherwise restructure these liability balances, the Company will unlikely be able to retire these liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment acquired are recorded at cost. Leasehold improvements are capitalized, while repair and maintenance expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the lease term for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for tax purposes. Furniture and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price and related costs over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired and is amortized on a straight-line basis over three years. The Company evaluates its goodwill annually, or earlier if a triggering event occurs, to determine if potential impairment has occurred. Due to changes in the Company's current operations and future business plan, all goodwill related to the acquisitions of PopMail.com, Inc., IZ.com and Fan Asylum were determined to be impaired and were written down to their net realizable value at December 31, 2000.

Revenue Recognition

The Company currently derives the majority of its revenues from license and service fees of its outbound web based e-mail management and distribution product. The Company's clients typically purchase two year licensed service agreements, payable annually in advance, and hosting and maintenance support, payable quarterly, for the life of the contract. License revenue is ratably recognized over the term of the agreement after a licensed service agreement has been signed, the product has been installed by the Company and accepted by the customer, and collection is probable. Services revenue consists of fees from hosting, maintenance and customization. The Company recognizes revenue from hosting and maintenance agreements ratably over the term of the agreements, typically two years.

Customer advances and billed amounts due from customers in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of the Company's current financial assets and liabilities approximates their fair values. The fair value of the Company's borrowings, if recalculated based on current interest rates, would not significantly differ from the recorded amounts.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method to recognize deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are provided for differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities at currently enacted tax rates.

Stock-Based Employee Compensation

The Company utilizes the intrinsic value method for stock-based compensation. Under this method, compensation expense is recognized for the amount, if any, by which the market price of the common stock on the date of grant exceeds the exercise price of an option. Pro-forma information related to the fair value method of accounting is contained in Note K.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The impact of common stock equivalents has been excluded from the computation of weighted average common shares outstanding, as the net effect would be anti-dilutive.

Use of Estimates

Preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 financial statements to conform to the 2000 presentation. Specifically, the 1999 financial statements have been restated to account for the restaurant operations as discontinued operations. See Note D for a further discussion. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss or shareholders' equity as previously reported.

NOTE C - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

PopMail.com, Inc.

On August 29, 1999, the Company completed its merger with Popmail.com, Inc., which was accounted for as a purchase, and changed its name from Café Odyssey, Inc. to PopMail.com, Inc. The results of PopMail's operations have been included with the Company's operations from the date of the merger. Consideration for the merger included the issuance of 2,024 shares of Series B Convertible preferred stock, convertible into 863,390 shares of the Company's common shares valued at $21,589,755; the issuance of 440,710 five-year warrants to purchase common at an exercise price of $30.00 per share valued at $4,318,956; the assumption of approximately $5,019,000 of notes payable, which required the issuance of 90,000 five-year warrants to the holder of those notes valued at $2,700,000; and $890,000 in closing costs. The total consideration exceeded the fair value of the net liabilities acquired by approximately $33,800,000, which has been recorded as goodwill and was being amortized on a straight-line basis over three years. As discussed in Note A, the Company wrote- off the remaining goodwill related to this acquisition at December 31, 2000.

ROI Interactive LLC

On December 3, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of ROI Interactive LLC (ROI). This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with the results of operations included with the Company's operations from the date of acquisition. Total consideration included the issuance of 275,000 shares of the Company's common shares valued at $6,282,461 and $150,000 in closing costs. The total consideration exceeded the fair value of the net liabilities acquired by approximately $6,400,000, which has been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over three years.

IZ.com, Inc.

On February 9, 2000, the Company completed its merger with IZ.com Incorporated ("IZ.com"), a development stage online convergent media company. The merger was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting with the operations of IZ.com included in the Company's operations from the dated of merger. The former stockholders of IZ.com were issued 287,408 shares of Series F convertible preferred stock (the "Series F Preferred"), with an additional 130,508 shares issuable upon the exercise of IZ.com options assumed by PopMail. Both the Series F Preferred issued and the Series F Preferred reserved for IZ.com options are convertible into the Company's common stock at a rate of 2.566 common shares for each share of Series F Preferred. Total consideration, based upon the average closing price of the Company's common stock on the five business days prior to close and assuming conversion of all potentially issuable PopMail.com common stock including shares reserved for IZ.com options, plus the fair value of the net liabilities assumed resulted in approximately $50,250,000 of goodwill being created in the merger, which was amortized on a straight-line basis over three years. On December 9, 2000, the Company sold the assets and operations of IZ.com. As a result of the sale the Company wrote-off the remaining goodwill related to this acquisition as it was determined to be impaired. See Note D for a further discussion of the divestiture.

Fan Asylum, Inc.

On June 14, 2000, the Company purchased all outstanding common stock of Fan Asylum from its sole shareholder ("the Seller") in exchange for up to 360,000 shares of the Company's common stock ("the Purchase Price Shares"), valued at $9,000,000, subject to adjustments based on certain earn out and reset provisions. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting with the operations of Fan Asylum included in the Company's operations from the date of acquisition. The total consideration, less the net asset value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulted in approximately $9,000,000 of goodwill generated in the acquisition, was to be amortized on a straight-line basis over 3 years.

The Purchase Price Shares were divided into 80,000 fully vested initial shares and 280,000 earn-out shares. Under the terms of the acquisition, the earn-out shares were to vest with the Seller according to the number of artists with which Fan Asylum executes a fan club management agreement prior to July 14, 2001. Also, the initial shares were subject to a put right pursuant to which Seller had a one-time right to "put" the initial shares to the Company during the period between January 2, 2001 and January 31, 2001 at a price per share equal to the greater of $10.625, or (ii) the average closing price of the Company's common stock over the five business days prior to the notice of exercise of the put.

Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition, the Company originally secured its ability to fulfill the put obligation with a $2,000,000 cash deposit that was released on October 12, 2000 when the Company renegotiated the acquisition terms and agreed to (i) accelerate the time period in which the Seller could put the initial shares to the Company, (ii) remove the earn-out provisions as a condition of Seller receiving the earn-out shares, and (iii) immediately retire a $200,000 debt obligation that was assumed in conjunction with the Fan Asylum acquisition. In consideration of the forgoing, the Seller agreed to complete a $400,000 private common stock placement with the Company, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $186,000 after the aforementioned $200,000 retirement of debt was completed. As a result of the release of the Seller from the earn-out provisions, the Company's $7,000,000 earn-out liability recorded at the time of the acquisition was released and is accounted for as additional paid in capital in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2000.

On February 14, 2001, the Company sold Fan Asylum back to the Seller. As the sale was being contemplated prior to December 31, 2000, the Company wrote-off the remaining goodwill related to this acquisition as it was determined to be impaired. See Note P for a further discussion of the divestiture.

See also Notes D and P for discussion of the operations of these entities included within the operations of the Company during the current year.

NOTE D - DIVESTITURES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

IZ.com

On December 9, 2000, the Company sold the assets and operations of IZ.com to IZ.com's management for (1) a $2,250,000 non-interest bearing note, with payments generally commencing in four to five years and retirement of the note to occur within eight years, and (2) the buyer's assumption of certain IZ.com related liabilities. As part of the consideration to the buyers, the Company issued a warrant to purchase up to 840,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, exercisable for one year whereby the buyer can receive up to $300,000 in net cash proceeds upon sale of common stock into which the warrant is exercisable. Any of the buyer's net cash proceeds in excess of $300,000 must be remitted back to the Company. The note receivable is secured by the assets of IZ.com. After the write-down of goodwill related to the acquisition of IZ.com more fully described in Note G, the Company's proceeds on the sale of IZ.com, represented by the discounted fair value of the aforementioned note receivable, approximated the net assets sold resulting in no gain or loss associated with the sale. The Company recorded revenues of approximately $537,000 resulting from the operations of IZ.com for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Restaurant Division

On May 31, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Management Services Agreement") with an officer of the Company (the "Manager") to manage substantially all the operations of the Cafe Odyssey restaurant segment (the "Management Services") under the auspices of an independent management company (the "Management Company"). On May 31, 2000, the Manager resigned from the Company to fulfill his obligation to the Management Company under the Management Services Agreement. In exchange for the Management Services, the Company agreed to pay the Management Company approximately $452,000 per year for the Management Services. On July 1, 2000, a second officer of the Company resigned and became employed by the Management Company, at which point the annual Management Services fee increased to $675,000. The term of the Management Services Agreement is three years, but may be terminated during the term with 30 days advance notice. If terminated by the Company without cause prior to the second anniversary date of the Management Services Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay the Management Company (a) $1,474 per day for each day remaining in the first year of the term and (b) $1,063 per day for each day remaining in the second year of the term.

Concurrent with the execution of the Management Services Agreement, the Company entered into a license agreement granting the Management Company certain development and intellectual property rights associated with the Cafe Odyssey restaurants (the "License Agreement"). The Company granted the Management Company the right to develop up to four more Cafe Odyssey restaurants and the right to develop an unlimited number of additional Cafe Odyssey restaurants with the Company's approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld (the "Development Rights"). In conjunction with the Development Rights, the Company agreed to (a) guarantee the leases for the first four Cafe Odyssey restaurants developed by the Management Company, (b) loan the Management Company up to $500,000 for the development of a new Cafe Odyssey restaurant located at a specific location defined in the License Agreement (the "New Location"), and (c) pledge the cash flows of the two Company owned Cafe Odyssey restaurants to secure up to $1.3 million in Management Company loans drawn to develop the New Location. The Company also granted the Management Company a perpetual, nonexclusive right to all intellectual property owned by the Company associated with the Cafe Odyssey restaurants.

In September 2000 the Company developed a formal plan for the divestiture of the restaurant division, and in February 2001 the Company executed a letter of intent to sell the net assets of the restaurant division to a group beneficially controlled by several shareholders and creditors of the Company (together, the "Buyer"). A definitive purchase agreement was executed in March, 2001 with closing expected to occur on or about April 30, 2001. The terms of sale are: (1) Buyer will purchase all of the assets of the restaurant division and assume substantially all of the liabilities of the restaurant division, including accounts payable and a $455,000 note payable, net of deposits residing with the creditor; (2) Buyer will assume $1.5 million in secured debt from PopMail, and the secured debt holder will release PopMail from all future obligations relating to that debt; (3) PopMail will retain a 19.9% partnership interest in the restaurant division via direct ownership in the entity acquiring the restaurant division; (4) and the Manager agrees to terminate the Management Services Agreement and License Agreement at no cost to the Company.

The Company has written down the net assets of the restaurant division to approximately $1,500,000, which represents its best estimate of the realizable net value, should a sale occur. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared to reflect the proposed sale of the restaurant division as a discontinued operation. The net assets of the restaurant division have been reported as Net Assets Held for Sale; the net operating results of the restaurant division have been reported as loss from operations of discontinued restaurant division. An estimated loss was recorded in the current period based on the Company's best estimate of the amount expected to be realized on the sale of the division, including a provision for an estimated loss from discontinued operations during the phase-out period.

Summarized financial information for the discontinued operations of the restaurant division, net of the above management fees, are as follows:

NOTE E - REVERSE STOCK SPLIT AND DELISTING OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON SHARES FROM NASDAQ

In September 2000, the Company received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the Company's common stock had failed to maintain a minimum bid price greater than or equal to $1.00 over the preceding thirty consecutive trading days as required under Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4). On October 12, 2000, the Company implemented a 10-for-1 reverse stock split, which allowed the Company to increase its share price over $1.00 (post-split). However, the stock subsequently fell below the minimum bid price requirement and on January 19, 2001, Nasdaq notified the Company that its securities would no longer trade on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, but that the Company's securities were immediately eligible to trade on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTC Bulletin Board"). On January 22, 2001, the Company's securities began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.

Unless otherwise noted, all references within these financial statements and footnotes refer to the Company's post-split common stock numbers.

NOTE F - INVESTMENTS

In June 2000, the Company acquired a minority interest in CraftClick.com, Inc. ("CraftClick"), a publicly traded business to consumer Internet services company, in exchange for $500,000 of the Company's common stock, or 45,070 shares. As of December 31, 2000, the estimated fair market value of the investment is approximately $15,000 and, accordingly, the Company has written the investment down to that value as of December 31, 2000. The unrealized loss is classified as unrealized loss on securities available for sale as a component of shareholder's equity in the accompanying December 31, 2000 consolidated balance sheet.

In July 2000, the Company acquired a minority interest in NC, Inc. ("NCI"), a privately held business to business Internet services company, in exchange for $1,000,000 of the Company's common stock, or 109,170 shares. The Company accounted for this investment under the cost basis of accounting. In December 2000, based on NCI's financial condition and the condition of the Internet environment in general, the Company wrote-off the investment in NCI. As a result, a loss of $1,000,000 is included under impairment of assets in the accompanying December 31, 2000 consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE G - LOSS ON AND IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

In April 2000, the Company finalized the sale of the equipment, leasehold improvements, lease rights and certain other contractual rights of its Cincinnati, Ohio restaurant location in exchange for a 21-year, $3,750,000, non- interest bearing promissory note receivable, payment of which is contingent upon the results of the buyers operations. The Company originally recorded the note receivable at the present value of the future minimum cash receipts provided for under the promissory note, amounting to approximately $1,270,000. The promissory note receivable is secured primarily by a mortgage interest in the real property at the Cincinnati location. Using the valuation of the proceeds as described, the sale resulted in a loss of approximately $757,000, which is included as loss on sale of assets in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000. In December 2000, the Company amended the promissory note and determined, based on the buyer's future revenue and cash flow projections, collection of the note receivable is unlikely. Accordingly, the Company has written the entire note receivable balance off as of December 31, 2000. The $1,270,000 write-down has also been recorded as a loss on sale of assets in the accompanying statement of operations.

In December 2000, the Company wrote-off the entire net goodwill balances related to the acquisitions of PopMail.com, Inc. and IZ.com, and also wrote-down to $300,000 the net goodwill balance related to Fan Asylum. The total write-down of goodwill by the company amounted to $64,135,000 and is included as impairment of assets in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Also in December 2000, the Company wrote-down the value of the computer hardware and software that was repossessed by one of its creditors as more fully described in Note H below. The Company's carrying value of the hardware and software was approximately $1,335,000 as of December 31, 2000, which was adjusted down by approximately $985,000 to $350,000, the value the Company expects to receive from its creditors.

NOTE H - NOTES PAYABLE

                                             ===========  ===========

(a) In September 1998, the Company entered into a $3,000,000 revolving line of credit with a financial institution collateralized by a leasehold mortgage, security agreement and assignment of rents and income of the Cincinnati restaurant. In addition, two directors and an ex-director of the Company entered into a joint and several limited guaranty of the first $1,000,000 of the Company's borrowings under this credit facility. In consideration of these guarantees, the Company issued 4,000 five-year warrants to each of these individuals at an exercise price of $7.50 per share in November 1998. Guarantees for the other $2,000,000 were obtained later in November 1998 from two of the aforementioned directors and an additional third party whereby two of the directors each severally guaranteed $500,000 and the other third party guaranteed $1,000,000, of such borrowings. All three guarantors pledged certain collateral to the financial institution in connection with the later guarantees. In exchange for such guarantees and pledges of collateral, the Company issued 20,000 five-year warrants each to two of the directors in November 1998, and 40,000 five-year warrants to the other third party in January 1999, all at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. This revolving line of credit facility was due on demand, or, if no demand was made, in July 2000. This credit facility provides for monthly payments of interest accrued on the outstanding unpaid principal balance at a rate equal to the prime rate (8.5% as of January 2, 2000). Each of the guarantee agreements contain provisions which require the issuance of additional warrants and payment of cash penalties if the borrowings were not paid in full by September 30, 1999. As of January 2, 2000, the Company had accrued $375,000 for the cash penalties and is obligated for and has recorded 60,000 five-year warrants at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. The balance of this note and the related penalties were paid in full during the year ended December 31, 2000.

(b) In March 1999, the Company entered into a $825,000 revolving loan facility with a financial institution collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. In addition, the loan was guaranteed by five individuals. In consideration of these guarantees, the Company issued 50,000 five-year warrants (ranging from 2,500 to 25,000 warrants) to these individuals at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. All guarantors pledged certain collateral to the financial institution in connection with these guarantees. This revolving line of credit facility was due on demand, or, if no demand was made, in March 2000. This credit facility provided for monthly payments of interest accrued on the outstanding unpaid principal balance at a rate equal to the prime rate (8.5% as of January 2, 2000). The balance was paid in full during the year ended December 31, 2000.

(c) In connection with the PopMail merger, the company assumed a note payable for $5,019,387, of which $4,469,387 was repaid shortly after the merger. The remaining $550,000 was payable in monthly payments with interest at the prime rate (8.5% at January 2, 2000). The principal was due on demand, or, if no demand was made, in full amount in January 2000. The loan was uncollateralized.

In December 1999, the Company entered into a $200,000 note payable with monthly payments of interest at 15%. The principal was due on demand, or, if no demand was made, in full amount in March 2000. In connection with the loan the Company issued 8,000 five-year warrants with an exercise price of $12.50 to the lender. The fair value of these warrants was recorded as a discount and was amortized over the life of the note.

Also in December 1999, the Company entered into a $325,000 note payable with monthly payments of interest at 15%. The principal was due on demand, or, if no demand was made, in full amount in March 2000. In connection with the loan the Company issued 8,938 five-year warrants with an exercise price of $20.00 to the lender. The fair value of these warrants was recorded as a discount and amortized over the life of the note. In addition, the Company issued 1,950 five- year warrants at an exercise price of $20.00 per share to a third party as a finders fee on this note.

Also in December 1999, the Company entered into a note payable for $1,200,000. At the inception of the loan, the Company prepaid the interest of 13% ($91,000) for the life of the note until the loan matures in July, 2000. In connection with the loan the Company issued 20,000 five-year warrants with an exercise price of $13.40 to the lender. The fair value of these warrants was recorded as a discount and amortized over the life of the note.

All four notes were paid in full during the year ended December 31, 2000.

(d) In its acquisition of Fan Asylum, the Company assumed a non-interest bearing loan to the Seller in the amount of $144,000, which was forgiven by the Seller in his re-acquisition of Fan Asylum in February 2001, as more fully described in Note P.

In October 2000, the Company received cash proceeds of $500,000 upon entering into a secured note payable for $600,000. The note was originally due within 30 days and is secured by certain of the Company's computer hardware and software assets. The Company failed to repay the note in November 2000 and the lender claimed possession of the computer hardware and software in December 2000. Also in December 2000, the lender sued the Company demanding immediate repayment and requested a temporary restraining order against the Company preventing it from selling any of the other assets in which the lender maintained a security interest. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had not repaid the note and is in default under the terms of the note. In February 2001, the Company and the lender agreed to revised note terms and settled the dispute. The Company agreed to allow the lender to sell the computer collateral, of which it maintained possession, and apply the sales proceeds against the principal balance of the loan. The lender agreed to reduce the original principal amount of the note to $500,000, reduce that principal balance by all net cash proceeds resulting from the lender's sale of the collateral, reduce the interest rate to 10%, extend to five years the maturity date of the note's principal and interest, and release the Company from all claims.

                                             ===========  ===========

(a) In August 1999, the Company executed a senior convertible note for $2,000,000 which originally matured in August 2000, with interest at prime plus 2% (effective interest rate of 10.5% as of January 2, 2000). The note and any unpaid interest is convertible into the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $25.00 per common share. In connection with this note, the Company issued 50,000 five-year warrants with an exercise price of $25.00 per share to the lender. The fair value of these warrants was recorded as a discount and amortized over the original life of the note. In August 2000, the terms of the note were amended to provide a 60-day extension on the repayment of the note in exchange for an immediate principal payment of $500,000. In October 2000, the note was again amended to: (1) extend the debt service repayment schedule approximately 18 months to provide for monthly principal and interest payments of $100,000, commencing on January 1, 2001, until the entire principal and interest balance is paid in full; and (2) increase the interest rate to 14%. Subsequent to December 31, 2000, the Company has yet to make a debt service payment. However, the lender has temporarily waived the debt service provisions through April 5, 2001 and, assuming the sale of the restaurants as more fully described in Note D, intends to release the Company from all future obligations related to the note in exchange for the buyer of the restaurants offering the lender additional security and cash flow rights in the restaurants.

(b) In December 2000, the Company entered into loan agreements with two creditors under nearly identical terms. The creditors agreed to loan and the Company agreed to borrow up to $4,000,000 under a secured, convertible debt facility. The Company's ability to borrow under the terms of the credit facility is contingent upon the lenders' ability to secure investors. Both creditors are shareholders of the Company, and one of them is controlled by a former director and officer of the Company. The debt is convertible to the Company's common stock at $0.175 per share, bears interest at 12% per annum which is payable quarterly in either cash or stock at the lenders' option beginning February 1, 2001, matures on January 5, 2002, and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company including its subsidiaries. In connection with the loan agreement, with each additional borrowing on this facility, the Company must issue to the creditors five year warrants to purchase a number of shares of the Company's common stock representing 50% of the loan proceeds, exercisable at $0.15 per share. As a result of the $900,000 in loan proceeds borrowed through December 31, 2001, the Company must issue warrants to the creditors to purchase 450,000 shares of the Company's common stock. In addition, the Company is generally obligated, to the aforementioned former director and officer of the Company, to (1) pay a 10% cash finder's fee on loan proceeds to the Company, and (2) issue five year warrants to purchase a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to 10% of the loan proceeds. Warrants for the purchase of 90,000 shares, exercisable at $0.125 per share, have been issued through December 31, 2000. In addition to customary provisions of secured debt arrangements, other covenants of the loan agreement provide that: (1) the Company must remain listed on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, (2) the creditors have the right of first refusal on future Company financings, and (3) the creditors must approve all of the Company's financing transactions. As of December 31, 2000, the Company is in compliance with the loan covenants. However, it failed to make its first interest payment on February 1, 2001. On March 23, 2001, the creditors waived the event of default resulting from the missed interest payment and agreed to extend the February 1, 2001 interest payment due date to May 1, 2001. Also, with 30 days notice, the creditors can put the Company into default as it was delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

NOTE K - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Convertible Preferred Stock

Series A - In May 1999, the Company issued 2,000 shares of Series A 8% convertible preferred stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share in a private placement transaction. In addition, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 30,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $30.00 per share to the investor. The preferred stock was convertible into the Company's common stock at a price equal to 65% of the market value at the time of conversion. During 1999, all Series A shares were converted into 101,600 shares of common stock. In November 1999, the warrants issued with the Series A shares were re-priced to $10.00 per warrant.

In connection with the issuance of the Series A shares, the Company recognized a non-cash deemed dividend of approximately $1,077,000 which was recorded as a discount to preferred stock with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital. The discount was recognized at the date of issue of the Series A shares, the same date at which the shares were eligible for conversion. The accretion of the discount is reflected in the statement of operations as an adjustment to net loss, but has no effect on total shareholders' equity.

Series B - In June 1999, the Company issued 2,024 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock in connection with the PopMail merger (see note C). The Series B shares were convertible into 863,390 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 440,710 shares of common stock at $30.00 per share. All Series B shares issued in this transaction were converted in 1999. In November 1999, the warrants issued in connection with the Series B conversion were re- priced from $30.00 to $7.50 per share. In connection with this re-pricing, the Company recognized an expense of approximately $4,500,000.

Series C - In July 1999, the Company issued 2,000 shares of Series C 8% convertible preferred stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share in a private placement. In addition, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 30,000 shares of common stock at $30.00 per share to the investor. The Series C shares were convertible into the Company's common stock at a price equal to 65% of the market value at the time of conversion. During 1999, 1,395 shares of Series C were converted into 91,778 shares of common stock. The remainder were converted during 2000 into an additional 47,860 shares of common stock. In November 1999, warrants for 20,000 shares issued with the Series C shares were re-priced to $10.00 per warrant.

In connection with the issuance of the Series C shares, the Company recognized a non-cash deemed dividend and discount accretion of approximately $1,077,000 similar to that of the Series A shares. In addition during 2000, the Company issued 85,000 shares of common stock for payment of the accrued dividends payable upon conversion, of which approximately $67,000 in preferred stock dividends had been accrued in 1999 related to the Series C shares.

Series D - In August 1999, the Company issued 2,200 shares of Series D 8% convertible preferred stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share in a private placement. In addition, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 30,000 shares of common stock at $30.00 per share to the investor. The Series D shares were convertible into the Company's common stock at a price equal to 65% of the market value at the time of conversion. All of the Series D shares were converted during 2000 into 105,065 shares of common stock.

In connection with the issuance of the Series D shares, the Company recognized a non-cash deemed dividend and discount accretion of approximately $1,185,000 similar to that of the Series A and Series C shares. In addition during 2000, the Company also issued 85,000 shares of common stock for payment of the accrued dividends payable upon converstion, of which approximately $88,000 in preferred stock dividends had been accrued in 1999 related to the Series D shares.

Series E - Beginning in October 1999, the Company began to issue shares of Series E convertible preferred stock with a stated value of $2.00 per share in a private placement. The Company issued 175,000 shares during 1999 and an additional 50,000 shares in January 2000. For each Series E share issued, a warrant was also issued for the purchase of 1/10th of a share of common stock at $30.00 per share. Each Series E share was originally convertible into 1/10th of a share of common stock, subject to certain adjustments based on the value of the Company's common stock at the time of conversion. Series E shares are not entitled to dividends. During 2000, 175,000 shares of Series E shares were converted into approximately 62,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

Series F - In connection with the IZ.com merger, 287,408 shares of Series F convertible preferred stock were issued to the former stockholders of IZ.com, with an additional 130,508 shares issuable upon the exercise of IZ.com options assumed by PopMail. The majority of the IZ.com options have expired as of December 31, 2000 and, therefore, the majority of the 130,508 Series F shares reserved for IZ.com options will never be issued. As a result, the Companyreclassified approximately $13,594,000 from the Series F Preferred capital account to additional paid-in capital during 2000. The Series F shares are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a rate of 2.566 shares for each share of Series F preferred stock. The Series F preferred stock (excluding the remaining shares issuable upon exercise of IZ.com options) will convert into approximately 737,500 shares of the Company's common stock and carry a liquidation preference of approximately $19 million until the Company's market capitalization reaches $100 million or the majority of the Series F shareholders convert their shares to common stock.

Series G - In May 2000, the Company raised net proceeds of $4,000,000 from the private placement of Series G 10% convertible preferred stock with an aggregate stated value of $6 million. The proceeds were net of an original discount of $1,500,000 and investment banking fees of $500,000. The purchaser of the Series G stock also received a warrant to purchase up to 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $25.10 per share for no additional consideration. As the Company's common stock was delisted from Nasdaq, the conversion price will be equal to 75% of the adjusted market price of the common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series G stock is limited to approximately 720,000 shares. The Company will redeem for cash, at 105 percent of stated value, any Series G stock that is not convertible into shares of common stock as a result of the foregoing limitation. During 2000, 15,000 shares of Series G shares were converted into approximately 191,000 shares of common stock, including interest.

Based on the current value of the Company's common stock and the common share limit into which the Series G shares may be converted, it is possible that the Company may be required to redeem in excess of $5,000,000 of the unconverted Series G shares absent an amendment to the rights of the Series G shareholders. 40,000 shares of the aforementioned warrant were re-priced to and exercised at $6.25 per share during 2000.

All of the convertible preferred stock series contain certain liquidation preference provisions including accrued and unpaid dividends and defined payment amounts per share. In connection with the Series A, C, and D shares, warrants for 45,000 shares of common stock at $30.00 per share were issued to a financial advisor.

Private Common Stock Placements

During the quarter ended April 2, 2000, the Company completed a private placement offering of 235,000 units priced at $10.00 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of the Company's common stock and one five-year warrant to purchase one share of the Company's common stock with an exercise price of $20.00. Also during the quarter ended April 2, 2000, the Company completed a second private placement offering of 266,667 units priced at $22.50 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of the Company's common stock and one five-year warrant to purchase one share of the Company's common stock with an exercise price of $30.00. Approximately 51,200 of the $30.00 warrants were repriced to and exercised at $7.50 per share during 2000. Additional warrants to purchase approximately 25,600 at $7.50 per share were issued to the individuals who exercised.

The proceeds of the above two private common stock placements were used to repay the due to affiliates and all but $1,000,000 of the Company's $6,037,518 notes payable that were outstanding at January 2, 2000, as well as to fund the continuing operating needs of the Company.

During the quarter ended July 2, 2000, the Company completed a private placement offering of 100,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $30.00 per share to private investors, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $2.7 million. At the time of the closing, the investors received: (a) five-year warrants to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share and (b) warrants to purchase additional shares of common stock (the Adjustable Warrants) at a nominal exercise price (one-hundredth of a cent per share). The Adjustable Warrants are intended to allow the investors to receive additional shares of common stock in future periods to bring the effective price per share of the investment to a percentage of the market value of the common stock on the date of adjustment. In general, the Adjustable Warrants (a) became exercisable during certain periods beginning October, 2000, (b) are exercisable only if the Company's common stock is below $40.00 per share during the exercise period, (c) and are issuable in an amount sufficient to adjust the effective purchase price for the investment to a level equal to 75% of the average market price during the period. If the Adjustable Warrants are exercised, the Company may be required to issue an additional 20,000,000 shares of common stock to the investors based on the market price of the Company's common stock as of December 31, 2000. However, to reduce the dilutive effect of the Adjustable Warrants, it is management's intent to renegotiate the terms of the private placement on terms acceptable to both the investors and the Company. Under the terms of the private placement, the Company was required to endeavor to make effective a registration statement covering both the common shares and common shares underlying the Adjustable Warrants by October 2000. Although filed, the Company has been unable to make effective a registration statement covering the common shares and Adjustable Warrants. Therefore, the investors have yet to exercise their Adjustable Warrants. $2 million of the proceeds of this private common stock placement were used to purchase Fan Asylum. The remainder of the proceeds were used for working capital purposes.

In October 2000, the Company completed a private common stock placement of 944,444 shares of the Company's common stock at a purchase price of $0.45 per share, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $425,000. Under the terms of the private placement, the shares were to be issued immediately after the shareholder meeting held on November 27, 2000. At that time, the number of shares to be issued would be adjusted such that the minimum value of common stock issued, based on the then current market value of the Company's common stock, would not be less than $944,444. Based on the then current market price of the stock, the Company would have needed to issue approximately 3.2 million shares of common stock to the investor. In March 2001, the Company and the investor agreed that the Company would issue a total of 3 million shares to the investor in conjunction with this private placement. The Company has reflected all 3 million shares as issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2000.

In November 2000, the Company completed a private common stock placement of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a purchase price of $0.25 per share, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $250,000. At the time of the closing, the investors also received warrants to purchase an additional 1,000,000 shares of the company's common stock if the shares remained unregistered as of December 31, 2000. The original private placement shares remained unregistered on December 31, 2000. As of March 2001, the Company is negotiating with the investors to limit the number of additional shares it must issue to 750,000. It is likely that the Company will issue to the investors an additional 750,000 shares in exchange for the investor forfeiting the aforementioned warrant and all rights under the warrant. As the additional shares have not yet been issued and the number of additional shares to be issued are not determined as of December 31, 2000, the additional shares are not reflected as outstanding common stock in the accompanying December 31, 2000 balance sheet.

Other than the warrants convertible into 51,200 shares specifically identified above, warrants exercisable into a total of 282,500 shares of the Company's common stock were re-priced to $6.25 per share from $20.00 to $30.00 per share during 2000. Upon repricing, the warrant holders exercised their warrants.

Stock Options

The Company maintains two stock option plans (the "Plans"), the 1997 Stock Option and Compensation Plan, as amended, which has 300,000 common shares reserved for issuance and the 1998 Director Option Plan, which has 25,000 common shares reserved for issuance. At December 31, 2000, the Company has issued approximately 276,000 options under the 1997 Plan subject to approval of additional shares by the board of directors. The Plans are administered by a stock option committee of the Board of Directors, which has the discretion to determine the number of shares granted, the price of the option, the term of the option and the time period over which the option may be exercised. Stock options granted under these plans generally have an exercise price equal to the fair value of the stock on the date of grant, have a ten-year term and vest ratably over three years.

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 2000 and 1999: risk-free interest rates of 5.66% and 6.41%; no expected dividend yield, expected lives of 1 and 3 years; and expected volatility of 150%.

Warrants and options granted for services or compensation were valued at the fair value of the warrant or option granted or the value of the services provided, whichever is more easily determinable.

NOTE L - INCOME TAXES

As of December 31, 2000 and January 2, 2000, the Company's deferred taxes consisted primarily of net operating loss carryforwards, pre-opening costs not currently deductible and accelerated methods of depreciation. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of realizing the related benefits.

As of December 31, 2000, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $60 million, which, if not used, will expire through 2019.

NOTE M - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

The Company has entered into operating leases for its closed and existing restaurants which have an initial lease term of ten to fifteen years with an option for renewal. These leases contain provisions for contingent rentals based on a percentage of gross revenues, as defined, and provisions for payments of real estate taxes, insurance and common area costs. In addition, certain of these leases provide for tenant inducements and rent abatement. Total rent expense, including common area costs, real estate taxes and percentage rent, was approximately $1,163,000 and $1,385,000 for 2000 and 1999, respectively. This rent expense is included in loss from operations of discontinued restaurant division in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company also leases office space at the corporate headquarters in Dallas and, in 1999, in Minneapolis. The total expense for these facilities was approximately $148,000 and $152,000 for 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Approximate future minimum rental payments, including those for the closed Cincinnati, Ohio restaurant location discussed in Note G, are as follows as of December 31, 2000:


           Fiscal Year Ending                Amount

Thereafter                                   7,400,000
                                          -------------
                                         $ $13,000,000
                                          =============

Assuming the sale of the restaurant assets and operations is consummated as discussed in Note D, the Company will still be obligated to make the above minimum rental payments in the event the buyer of the restaurant assets and operations defaults on their assumed lease obligations.

Litigation

In addition to the suit discussed in Note H, the Company is involved in various legal actions rising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or the results of its operations.

NOTE N - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During 1998, the Company entered into a revolving note payable with significant shareholder, director and executive officer to the Company to fund its working capital as necessary. The maximum amount of this note was $100,000, which was outstanding at January 3, 1999. This note was paid in full in 1999.

During 1999, the Company entered into four $60,000, 18% notes payable with two shareholders and officers of the Company with principal plus interest payable at maturity. In addition to the stated interest, an amount of 3% of the principal is due at maturity. Two of the notes matured in 1999 and were paid in full. The two remaining notes were paid in 2000.

In December 1999, the Company entered into a promissory note receivable of $2,450,000 with a partnership controlled by a significant shareholder, director and executive officer of the Company. The principal plus interest of 5.74% is due to the Company in December 2002. The Partnership has pledged 122,500 shares of the Company's common stock as security for the note.

In April 2000, the Company entered into a second promissory note receivable of $245,000 with the same partnership, under similar terms. The second note is due in March 2003 and is secured by 12,250 shares of the Company's common stock. Proceeds of these notes were used to purchase shares of the Company's stock issued in connection with the ROI acquisition (see Note C). Accordingly, these notes have been classified as a reduction of shareholders' equity in the accompanying financial statements.

On August 24, 2000, the Company purchased from a shareholder a $240,000 demand promissory note, the maker of whom is the same significant shareholder, director and executive officer that controls the aforementioned partnership, in exchange for 240,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The demand promissory note, dated February 14, 2000, bears an interest rate of 6.21% per year, with principal and accrued interest payable the earlier of (1) the third anniversary of the date of the note, or (2) within 30 days of written demand for repayment by the lender. Due to the value of the underlying stock and other factors, the Company has recorded a reserve against this note receivable as of December 31, 2000 amounting to $120,000.

Krienik Advertising, Inc., an Ohio corporation whose President, Chief Executive Officer and 100% shareholder was a director of the Company during 1999 and through November 2000, provided marketing and advertising services to the Company. Fees paid for these services, including payments for subcontracted media, printing, production and research services, were approximately $154,000 and $677,000 during 2000 and 1999, respectively.

NOTE O - INVESTMENT BANKING AGREEMENT

In April 2000, the Company entered into a two-year agreement with an investment banking firm for services to be rendered. In connection with this agreement, the Company issued 100,000 warrants to purchase the Company's common stock, 50,000 warrants with an exercise price of $16.25 per share and 50,000 with an exercise price of $40.00 per share. Of these warrants, 25,000 vested upon the signing of the agreement with the remaining warrants vesting upon certain performance provisions, none of which have been met as of December 31, 2000.

NOTE P - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (Unaudited)

Sale of Fan Asylum

On February 14, 2001, the Company sold Fan Asylum to the individual from whom it was originally purchased. The terms of sale are: (1) the buyer assumed all liabilities of Fan Asylum; (2) the buyer forfeited his right to receive any future shares of the Company's common stock, including but not limited to 280,000 earn-out shares; (3) and the buyer paid the Company $100,000 of which $50,000 is to remain in escrow pending certain future actions by the Company and the buyer. After the write-off of the goodwill associated with the Fan Aslyum acquisition as discussed in Note G, the Company did not recognize a material gain or loss on the sale in February 2001. The Company recorded revenues of approximately $778,000 resulting from the operations of Fan Asylum for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Financing Arrangements

The Company executed a $50,000 convertible promissory note on February 1, 2001 with an unrelated party. The note was due March 1, 2001, bears interest at 10% per year, and is convertible into 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock if not repaid by the due date. The Company did not repay the promissory note by the due date and, consequently, the note converted into 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock. A warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.125 per share was also issued in connection with this convertible promissory note.

The Company executed two additional promissory notes on March 2, 2001 and March 13, 2001 for $100,000 and $80,000, respectively. The notes are payable on demand with five days notice and bear interest at 12% per year. The holder of these notes is also a shareholder and a secured creditor of the Company.

On March 16, 2001, the Company completed a $35,000 private common stock placement with an unrelated party. The Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock to the investor in conjunction with this private placement.

The Company engaged Grant Thornton LLP as its independent accountants as of September 30, 1999. The Company has not consulted with Grant Thornton LLP on items which (1) were or should have been subject to SAS 50 or (2) concerned the subject matter of a disagreement or reportable event with the former auditor (as described in Regulation S-B Item 304(a)(2)).

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

In October 2000, the Company completed a private common stock placement of 944,444 shares of the Company's common stock at a purchase price of $0.45 per share, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $425,000. One of the investors was Gulfstream Financial Partners, an entity controlled by Mr. Fong who was, subsequent to the date of the private placement, appointed to the Company's Board of Directors. Gulfstream Financial Partners invested a total of $200,000 in the private placement. Under the terms of the private placement, the shares were to be issued immediately after the shareholder meeting held on November 27, 2000. At that time, the number of shares to be issued would be adjusted such that the minimum value of common stock issued, based on the then current market value of the Company's common stock, would not be less than $944,444. Based on the then current market price of the stock, the Company would have needed to issue approximately 3.2 million shares of common stock to the investor. In March 2001, the Company and the investors, including Gulfstream Financial Partners, agreed that the Company would issue a total of 3 million shares to the investor in conjunction with this private placement.

In December 2000, the Company entered into a convertible, secured debt arrangement with GSI Ventures, LLC, an entity indirectly controlled by Stephen D. King, the former Chairman and CEO of the Company. SDK Investment, Inc. is the manager of GSI Ventures, LLC. Mr. King is the President and controlling shareholder of SDK Investments, Inc. GSI Ventures, LLC agreed to loan and the Company agreed to to borrow up to $4,000,000 under a secured, convertible debt facility. The Company's ability to borrow under the terms of the credit facility is contingent upon GSI Ventures, LLC's ability to secure investors.

In October 2000, the Company executed a $600,000 note payable to Great Western Business Services in exchange for $500,000 cash. The principal balance of the note was originally due within 30 days and was secured by certain of the Company's computer hardware and software assets. The Company failed to repay the note in November 2000 and the lender claimed possession of the computer hardware and software in December 2000. Also in December 2000, the lender (1) filed a lawsuit, naming the Company and Stephen D. King, a former director and officer, as defendants, (2) demanded immediate repayment and (3) requested a temporary restraining order against the Company preventing it from selling any of the other assets in which the lender maintained a security interest. Mr. King was named in the lawsuit as he assisted the Company in securing the loan and in negotiating the terms. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had not repaid the note and is in default under the terms of the note. In February 2001, the Company, Mr. King and the lender settled the dispute. The Company agreed to allow the lender to sell the computer collateral, of which it maintained possession, and apply the sales proceeds against the principal balance of the loan. The lender agreed to reduce the original principal amount of the note to $500,000, reduce that principal balance by all net cash proceeds resulting from the lender's sale of the collateral, reduce the interest rate to 10%, extend to five years the maturity date of the note's principal and interest, and release the Company from all claims. Mr. King agreed to, through other entities directly or indirectly controlled by him that are in the process of purchasing the Company's restaurant assets and operations, assume an approximate $300,000 liability relating to the note, representing the original $100,000 discount, accrued interest, and late fees.

Exhibit 4.5

The Warrant and the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the "Securities") have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") or under any state securities or Blue Sky laws ("Blue Sky Laws"). No transfer, sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of this Warrant or the Securities or any interest therein may be made except (a) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable Blue Sky Laws or (b) if the Company has been furnished with both an opinion of counsel for the holder, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that no registration is required because of the availability of an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable Blue Sky Laws, and assurances that the transfer, sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition will be made only in compliance with the conditions of any such registration or exemption.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

OF POPMAIL.COM, INC.

Warrant No. JJB-2 Irving, Texas

February 29, 2000

This certifies that, for value received, J. JEFFREY BRAUSCH & COMPANY, or its successors or assigns (AHolder@) is entitled to purchase from PopMail.com, Inc. (the ACompany@) One Hundred Fifty Thousand (150,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares (the AShares@) of the Company=s Common Stock, $.01 par value (the ACommon Stock@), at any time and from time to time from the date hereof until April 20, 2004, at an exercise price of $0.75 per share (the AExercise Price@), subject to adjustment as herein provided.

This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and conditions:

1. Exercise of Warrant. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock), by the surrender of this Warrant (properly endorsed, if required, at the Company=s principal office in Irving, Texas, or such other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company at any time within the period above named), and upon payment to it by certified check, bank draft or cash of the purchase price for such Shares. The Company agrees that the Shares so purchased shall have and are deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such Shares as aforesaid. Certificates for the Shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time, not exceeding ten (10) days, after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised, and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be delivered to the Holder within such time. The Company may require that any such new Warrant or any certificate for Shares purchased upon the exercise hereof bear a legend substantially similar to that which is contained on the face of this Warrant.

2. Transferability of this Warrant. This Warrant is issued upon the following terms, to which each Holder consents and agrees:

a. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company will treat the Holder of this Warrant registered as such on the books of the Company as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes without being affected by any notice to the contrary.

b. This Warrant may not be exercised, and this Warrant and the Shares underlying this Warrant shall not be transferable, except in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws, regulations and orders, and with all other applicable laws, regulations and orders.

c. The Warrant may not be transferred, and the Shares underlying this Warrant may not be transferred, without the Holder obtaining an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company=s counsel stating that the proposed transaction will not result in a prohibited transaction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (ASecurities Act@), and applicable Blue Sky laws. By accepting this Warrant, the Holder agrees to act in accordance with any conditions reasonably imposed on such transfer by such opinion of counsel.

d. Neither this issuance of this Warrant nor the issuance of the Shares underlying this Warrant have been registered under the Securities Act.

3. Certain Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, upon issuance and full payment for the Shares so purchased, will be duly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue hereof, except those that may be created by or imposed upon the Holder or its property, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that it will from time to time take all such actions as may be requisite to assure that the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the effective purchase price per share of the Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved free of preemptive or other rights for the exclusive purpose of issue upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

4. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price and number of Shares are subject to the following adjustments:

a. Adjustment of Exercise Price for Stock Dividend, Stock Split or Stock Combination. In the event that (i) any dividends on any class of stock of the Company payable in Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock (ACommon Stock Equivalents@) shall be paid by the Company, (ii) the Company shall subdivide its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) the Company shall combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, then, in any such event, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall (until adjusted again pursuant hereto) be adjusted immediately after such event to a price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined by dividing (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event, multiplied by the then existing Exercise Price, by (b) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the resulting quotient shall be the adjusted Exercise Price per share. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment shall be less than $.05 per share, but in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than $.05 per share.

b. Adjustment of Number of Shares Purchasable on Exercise of Warrants. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section, the Holder shall thereafter (until another such adjustment) be entitled to purchase at the adjusted Exercise Price the number of shares, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by multiplying the number of shares specified in such Warrant (as adjusted as a result of all adjustments in the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment) by the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.

c. Notice as to Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price and any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant, then, and in each such case, the Company within thirty (30) days thereafter shall give written notice thereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each Holder as shown on the books of the Company, which notice shall state the adjusted Exercise Price and the increased or decreased number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

d. Effect of Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, etc. If at any time while any Warrant is outstanding there should be any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company (other than the issuance of any shares of Common Stock in subdivision of outstanding shares of Common Stock by reclassification or otherwise and other than a combination of shares provided for in Section 4(a) hereof), or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or any sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer by the Company of all or substantially all of its property to any other corporation, which is effected in such a manner that the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a part of such transaction, lawful provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon the exercise hereof, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or merger, or of the corporation to which the property of the Company has been sold, conveyed, leased or otherwise transferred, as the case may be, which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer, if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer. In any such case, appropriate adjustments (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Warrant (including the adjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants) to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants as if the Warrants had been exercised immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer and the Warrant Holders had carried out the terms of the exchange as provided for by such capital reorganization, consolidation or merger. The Company shall not effect any such capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer unless, upon or prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation or the corporation to which the property of the Company has been sold, conveyed, leased or otherwise transferred shall assume by written instrument the obligation to deliver to each Holder such shares of stock, securities, cash or property as in accordance with the foregoing provisions such Holder shall be entitled to purchase.

5. No Rights as Stockholders. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder as such to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

6. Registration Rights. If at any time on or after October 1, 1999, the Company shall propose to file any registration statement (other than any registration on Form S-4, S-8 or any other similarly inappropriate form, or any successor forms thereto) under the 1933 Act covering a public offering of the Company's Common Stock, it will notify the Holder hereof at least thirty (30) days prior to each such filing and will use its best efforts to include in the Registration Statement (to the extent permitted by applicable regulation), the Common Stock purchased or purchasable by the Holder upon the exercise of the Warrant to the extent requested by the Holder hereof within twenty (20) days after receipt of notice of such filing (which request shall specify the interest in this Warrant or the Warrant Shares intended to be sold or disposed of by such Holder and describe the nature of any proposed sale or other disposition thereof); provided, however, that if a greater number of Warrants and Warrant Shares is offered for participation in the proposed offering than in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriter of the proposed offering can be accommodated without adversely affecting the proposed offering, then the amount of Warrant and Warrant Shares proposed to be offered by such Holders for registration, as well as the number of securities of any other selling shareholders participating in the registration, shall be proportionately reduced to a number deemed satisfactory by the managing underwriter. The Company shall bear all expenses and fees incurred in connection with the preparation, filing, and amendment of the Registration Statement with the Commission, except that the Holder shall pay all fees, disbursements and expenses of any counsel or expert retained by the Holder and all underwriting discounts and commissions, filing fees and any transfer or other taxes relating to the Shares included in the Registration Statement. The Holder of this Warrant agrees to cooperate with the Company in the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement, and in the furnishing of information concerning the Holder for inclusion therein, or in any efforts by the Company to establish that the proposed sale is exempt under the 1933 Act as to any proposed distribution.

7. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.

8. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Warrant may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waiver or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company agrees in writing and has obtained the written consent of the Holders.

9. Notices. All notices or communications hereunder, except as herein otherwise specifically provided, shall be in writing and if sent to the Holder shall be mailed, delivered, or telefaxed and confirmed to the Holder at his or her address set forth on the records of the Company; or if sent to the Company shall be mailed, delivered, or telefaxed and confirmed to PopMail.com, Inc., 1333 Corporate Drive, Suite 350, Irving, TX 75038 or to such other address as the Company or the Holder shall notify the other as provided in this Section.

This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and conditions:

    1. Vesting of Warrant Shares. Holder's rights to purchase the Shares under this Warrant are exercisable only to the extent that all, or any portion thereof, has vested in the Holder. The Warrant shall vest in three lots, as provided below, until fully vested:
              1. Lot 1. Warrants to purchase 30,000 Shares at an Exercise Price of $1.62 per Share shall vest immediately.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the lots described in subsections (a), (b) and (c), above, have not vested by July 31, 2000, then all rights with respect to such lots shall lapse. To the extent vested, this Warrant may be exercised, in part or in full, at any time prior to October 12, 2004.

2. Exercise of Warrant.

a. Exercise for Cash. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock), by the surrender of this Warrant (properly endorsed, if required, at the Company's principal office in Irving, Texas, or such other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company at any time within the period above named), and upon payment to it by certified check, bank draft or cash of the purchase price for such Shares. The Company agrees that the Shares so purchased shall have and are deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such Shares as aforesaid. Certificates for the Shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time, not exceeding ten (10) days, after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised, and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be delivered to the Holder within such time. The Company may require that any such new Warrant or any certificate for Shares purchased upon the exercise hereof bear a legend substantially similar to that which is contained on the face of this Warrant.

b. Cashless Exercise. Upon receipt of a notice of cashless exercise, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (without payment by the Holder of any exercise price) that number of Shares that is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the value of the Warrant on the date that the Warrant shall have been surrendered (determined by subtracting the aggregate exercise price for the Shares in effect on the Exercise Date from the aggregate Fair Market Value (hereinafter defined) for the Shares by (y) the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock. A notice of Acashless exercise@ shall state the number of Shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised. AFair Market Value@ for purposes of this Section (b) shall mean the average of the Common Stock closing prices reported by the principal exchange on which the Common Stock is traded, or the last sale prices as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System (ANasdaq@) National Market or SmallCap Market, as the case may be, for the ten (10) business days immediately preceding the Exercise Date or, in the event no public market shall exist for the Common Stock at the time of such cashless exercise, Fair Market Value shall mean the fair market value of the Common Stock as the same shall be determined in the good faith discretion of the Board of Directors, after full consideration of all factors then deemed relevant by such Board in establishing such value, including by way of illustration and not limitation, the per share purchase price of Common Stock or per security convertible into one share of Common Stock of the most recent sale of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock by the Company after the date hereof all as evidenced by the vote of a majority of the directors then in office.

2. Transferability of this Warrant. This Warrant is issued upon the following terms, to which each Holder consents and agrees:

        1. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company will treat the Holder of this Warrant registered as such on the books of the Company as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes without being affected by any notice to the contrary.

    1. This Warrant may not be exercised, and this Warrant and the Shares underlying this Warrant shall not be transferable, except in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws, regulations and orders, and with all other applicable laws, regulations and orders.
    2. Prior to making any disposition of this Warrant or of any of the Shares underlying this Warrant, the Holder will give written notice to the Company describing the manner of any such proposed disposition. The Warrant may not be transferred, and the Shares may not be transferred, without the Holder obtaining an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company's counsel stating that the proposed transaction will not result in a prohibited transaction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), and applicable Blue Sky laws. By accepting this Warrant, the Holder agrees to act in accordance with any conditions reasonably imposed on such transfer by such opinion of counsel.
    3. Neither this issuance of this Warrant nor the issuance of the Shares underlying this Warrant have been registered under the Securities Act.

    1. Certain Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, upon issuance and full payment for the Shares so purchased, will be duly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue hereof, except those that may be created by or imposed upon the Holder or its property, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that it will from time to time take all such actions as may be requisite to assure that the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the effective purchase price per share of the Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved free of preemptive or other rights for the exclusive purpose of issue upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.
    2. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price and number of Shares are subject to the following adjustments:

        1. Adjustment of Exercise Price for Stock Dividend, Stock Split or Stock Combination. In the event that (i) any dividends on any class of stock of the Company payable in Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents") shall be paid by the Company, (ii) the Company shall subdivide its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) the Company shall combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, then, in any such event, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall (until adjusted again pursuant hereto) be adjusted immediately after such event to a price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined by dividing (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event, multiplied by the then existing Exercise Price, by (b) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the resulting quotient shall be the adjusted Exercise Price per share. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment shall be less than $.05 per share, but in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than $.05 per share.
        2. Adjustment of Number of Shares Purchasable on Exercise of Warrants. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section, the Holder shall thereafter (until another such adjustment) be entitled to purchase at the adjusted Exercise Price the number of shares, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by multiplying the number of shares specified in such Warrant (as adjusted as a result of all adjustments in the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment) by the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
        3. Notice as to Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price and any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant, then, and in each such case, the Company within thirty (30) days thereafter shall give written notice thereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each Holder as shown on the books of the Company, which notice shall state the adjusted Exercise Price and the increased or decreased number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
        4. Effect of Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, etc. If at any time while any Warrant is outstanding there should be any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company (other than the issuance of any shares of Common Stock in subdivision of outstanding shares of Common Stock by reclassification or otherwise and other than a combination of shares provided for in Section 4(a) hereof), or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or any sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer by the Company of all or substantially all of its property to any other corporation, which is effected in such a manner that the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a part of such transaction, lawful provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon the exercise hereof, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or merger, or of the corporation to which the property of the Company has been sold, conveyed, leased or otherwise transferred, as the case may be, which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer, if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer. In any such case, appropriate adjustments (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Warrant (including the adjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants) to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants as if the Warrants had been exercised immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer and the Warrant Holders had carried out the terms of the exchange as provided for by such capital reorganization, consolidation or merger. The Company shall not effect any such capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer unless, upon or prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation or the corporation to which the property of the Company has been sold, conveyed, leased or otherwise transferred shall assume by written instrument the obligation to deliver to each Holder such shares of stock, securities, cash or property as in accordance with the foregoing provisions such Holder shall be entitled to purchase.

    1. No Rights as Stockholders. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder as such to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.
    2. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.
    3. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Warrant may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waiver or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company agrees in writing and has obtained the written consent of the Holders.

Notices. All notices or communications hereunder, except as herein otherwise specifically provided, shall be in writing and if sent to the Holder shall be mailed, delivered, or telefaxed and confirmed to the Holder at his or her address set forth on the records of the Company; or if sent to the Company shall be mailed, delivered, or telefaxed and confirmed to PopMail.com, inc., Suite 350, 1333 Corporate Drive, Dallas, TX 75038 or to such other address as the Company or the Holder shall notify the other as provided in this Section.

    1. This Warrant may not be exercised, and this Warrant and the Shares underlying this Warrant shall not be transferable, except in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws, regulations and orders, and with all other applicable laws, regulations and orders.
    2. Prior to making any disposition of this Warrant or of any of the Shares underlying this Warrant, the Holder will give written notice to the Company describing the manner of any such proposed disposition. The Warrant may not be transferred, and the Shares may not be transferred, without the Holder obtaining an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company's counsel stating that the proposed transaction will not result in a prohibited transaction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), and applicable Blue Sky laws. By accepting this Warrant, the Holder agrees to act in accordance with any conditions reasonably imposed on such transfer by such opinion of counsel.
    3. Neither this issuance of this Warrant nor the issuance of the Shares underlying this Warrant have been registered under the Securities Act.

    1. Certain Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, upon issuance and full payment for the Shares so purchased, will be duly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue hereof, except those that may be created by or imposed upon the Holder or its property, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that it will from time to time take all such actions as may be requisite to assure that the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the effective purchase price per share of the Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved free of preemptive or other rights for the exclusive purpose of issue upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.
    2. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price and number of Shares are subject to the following adjustments:

        1. Adjustment of Exercise Price for Stock Dividend, Stock Split or Stock Combination. In the event that (i) any dividends on any class of stock of the Company payable in Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents") shall be paid by the Company, (ii) the Company shall subdivide its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) the Company shall combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, then, in any such event, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall (until adjusted again pursuant hereto) be adjusted immediately after such event to a price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined by dividing (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event, multiplied by the then existing Exercise Price, by (b) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the resulting quotient shall be the adjusted Exercise Price per share. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment shall be less than $.05 per share, but in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than $.05 per share.
        2. Adjustment of Number of Shares Purchasable on Exercise of Warrants. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section, the Holder shall thereafter (until another such adjustment) be entitled to purchase at the adjusted Exercise Price the number of shares, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by multiplying the number of shares specified in such Warrant (as adjusted as a result of all adjustments in the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment) by the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
        3. Notice as to Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price and any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant, then, and in each such case, the Company within thirty (30) days thereafter shall give written notice thereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each Holder as shown on the books of the Company, which notice shall state the adjusted Exercise Price and the increased or decreased number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
        4. Effect of Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, etc. If at any time while any Warrant is outstanding there should be any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company (other than the issuance of any shares of Common Stock in subdivision of outstanding shares of Common Stock by reclassification or otherwise and other than a combination of shares provided for in Section 4(a) hereof), or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or any sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer by the Company of all or substantially all of its property to any other corporation, which is effected in such a manner that the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a part of such transaction, lawful provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon the exercise hereof, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or merger, or of the corporation to which the property of the Company has been sold, conveyed, leased or otherwise transferred, as the case may be, which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer, if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer. In any such case, appropriate adjustments (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Warrant (including the adjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants) to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants as if the Warrants had been exercised immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer and the Warrant Holders had carried out the terms of the exchange as provided for by such capital reorganization, consolidation or merger. The Company shall not effect any such capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer unless, upon or prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation or the corporation to which the property of the Company has been sold, conveyed, leased or otherwise transferred shall assume by written instrument the obligation to deliver to each Holder such shares of stock, securities, cash or property as in accordance with the foregoing provisions such Holder shall be entitled to purchase.

    1. No Rights as Stockholders. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder as such to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.
    2. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.
    3. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Warrant may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waiver or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company agrees in writing and has obtained the written consent of the Holders.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

OF POPMAIL.COM, INC.

Warrant No. MCP-13 Irving, Texas

November 14, 2000

This certifies that, for value received, METROPOLITAN CAPITAL PARTNERS, INC., or its successors or assigns ("Holder") is entitled to purchase from PopMail.com, inc. (the "Company") Nine Thousand (9,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares (the "Shares") of the Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), at any time, and from time to time, from the date hereof until October 12, 2004 (the "Warrant Exercise Period") and at an exercise price of $1.50 per shares, subject to adjustment as herein provided.

This Warrant is being issued in connection with that certain Financial Public Relations Agreement (the "Agreement") between the Company and Metropolitan Capital Partners, Inc. dated October 12, 1999, and is subject to the following provisions, terms and conditions:

1. Exercise of Warrant.

a. Exercise for Cash. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock), by the surrender of this Warrant (properly endorsed, if required, at the Company's principal office in Irving, Texas, or such other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company at any time within the period above named), and upon payment to it by certified check, bank draft or cash of the purchase price for such Shares. The Company agrees that the Shares so purchased shall have and are deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such Shares as aforesaid. Certificates for the Shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time, not exceeding ten (10) days, after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised, and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be delivered to the Holder within such time. The Company may require that any such new Warrant or any certificate for Shares purchased upon the exercise hereof bear a legend substantially similar to that which is contained on the face of this Warrant.

b. Cashless Exercise. Upon receipt of a notice of cashless exercise, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (without payment by the Holder of any exercise price) that number of Shares that is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the value of the Warrant on the date that the Warrant shall have been surrendered (determined by subtracting the aggregate exercise price for the Shares in effect on the Exercise Date from the aggregate Fair Market Value (hereinafter defined) for the Shares by (y) the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock. A notice of Acashless exercise@ shall state the number of Shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised. AFair Market Value@ for purposes of this Section (b) shall mean the average of the Common Stock closing prices reported by the principal exchange on which the Common Stock is traded, or the last sale prices as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System (ANasdaq@) National Market or SmallCap Market, as the case may be, for the ten (10) business days immediately preceding the Exercise Date or, in the event no public market shall exist for the Common Stock at the time of such cashless exercise, Fair Market Value shall mean the fair market value of the Common Stock as the same shall be determined in the good faith discretion of the Board of Directors, after full consideration of all factors then deemed relevant by such Board in establishing such value, including by way of illustration and not limitation, the per share purchase price of Common Stock or per security convertible into one share of Common Stock of the most recent sale of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock by the Company after the date hereof all as evidenced by the vote of a majority of the directors then in office.

2. Transferability of this Warrant. This Warrant is issued upon the following terms, to which each Holder consents and agrees:

        1. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company will treat the Holder of this Warrant registered as such on the books of the Company as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes without being affected by any notice to the contrary.

    1. This Warrant may not be exercised, and this Warrant and the Shares underlying this Warrant shall not be transferable, except in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws, regulations and orders, and with all other applicable laws, regulations and orders.
    2. Prior to making any disposition of this Warrant or of any of the Shares underlying this Warrant, the Holder will give written notice to the Company describing the manner of any such proposed disposition. The Warrant may not be transferred, and the Shares may not be transferred, without the Holder obtaining an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company's counsel stating that the proposed transaction will not result in a prohibited transaction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), and applicable Blue Sky laws. By accepting this Warrant, the Holder agrees to act in accordance with any conditions reasonably imposed on such transfer by such opinion of counsel.
    3. Neither this issuance of this Warrant nor the issuance of the Shares underlying this Warrant have been registered under the Securities Act.

    1. Certain Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, upon issuance and full payment for the Shares so purchased, will be duly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue hereof, except those that may be created by or imposed upon the Holder or its property, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that it will from time to time take all such actions as may be requisite to assure that the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the effective purchase price per share of the Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved free of preemptive or other rights for the exclusive purpose of issue upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

4. Redemption of Warrants.

  1. a. Redemption Price. The Warrants may be redeemed at the option of the Company, at any time after the date hereof following a period of 5 consecutive trading days where the per share average closing sale price of the common Stock exceeds $5.00, on notice as set forth in Section 4(b), and at a redemption price equal to $0.001 per Warrant. For purposes of this Section, the closing sale price of the Common Stock shall be determined by the closing sale price as reported by Nasdaq so long as the Common Stock is quoted on Nasdaq and, if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, shall be determined by the last reported sale price on the primary exchange on which the Common Stock is traded.

b. Notice of Redemption. In the case of any redemption of Warrants, the Company shall give notice of such redemption to the holders of the Warrants to be redeemed as hereinafter provided in this Section 4(b). Notice of redemption to the holders of Warrants shall be given by mailing by first-class mail a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice which is given in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives the notice.

Each such notice shall specify the date fixed for redemption, the place of redemption and the redemption price of $0.001 at which each Warrant is to be redeemed, and shall state the payment of the redemption price of the Warrants will be made on surrender of the Warrants at such place of redemption, and that is not exercised by the close of business on the date fixed for redemption, the exercise rights of the Warrants identified for redemption shall expire unless extended by the Company.

c. Payment of Warrants on Redemption: Deposit of Redemption Price. If notice of redemption shall have been given as provided in Section 4(b), the redemption price of $0.001 per Warrant shall, unless the Warrant is theretofore exercised pursuant to the terms hereof, become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice.

5. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price and number of Shares are subject to the following adjustments:

        1. Adjustment of Exercise Price for Stock Dividend, Stock Split or Stock Combination. In the event that (i) any dividends on any class of stock of the Company payable in Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents") shall be paid by the Company, (ii) the Company shall subdivide its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) the Company shall combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, then, in any such event, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall (until adjusted again pursuant hereto) be adjusted immediately after such event to a price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined by dividing (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event, multiplied by the then existing Exercise Price, by (b) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the resulting quotient shall be the adjusted Exercise Price per share.

        2. Adjustment of Number of Shares Purchasable on Exercise of Warrants.

In any such case, appropriate adjustments (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Warrant (including the adjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants) to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants as if the Warrants had been exercised immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer and the Warrant Holders had carried out the terms of the exchange as provided for by such capital reorganization, consolidation or merger.

Exhibit 4.50

The Warrant and the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the "Securities") have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") or under any state securities or Blue Sky laws ("Blue Sky Laws"). No transfer, sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of this Warrant or the Securities or any interest therein may be made except (a) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable Blue Sky Laws or (b) if the Company has been furnished with both an opinion of counsel for the holder, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that no registration is required because of the availability of an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable Blue Sky Laws, and assurances that the transfer, sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition will be made only in compliance with the conditions of any such registration or exemption.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

OF POPMAIL.COM, INC.

Warrant No. I-1 Irving, Texas

December 20, 2000

This certifies that, for value received, Infinity Advisors, Inc. or its successors or assigns (AHolder@) is entitled to purchase from PopMail.com, inc. (the "Company") One Hundred Thousand (100,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares (the "Shares") of the Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock") at any time and from time to time from the date hereof until December 20, 2005, at an exercise price of $0.20 per share (the "Exercise Price"), subject to adjustment as herein provided.

This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and conditions:

1. Exercise of Warrant. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock), by the surrender of this Warrant (properly endorsed, if required, at the Company's principal office in Irving, Texas, or such other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company at any time within the period above named), and upon payment to it by certified check, bank draft or cash of the purchase price for such Shares. The Company agrees that the Shares so purchased shall have and are deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such Shares as aforesaid. Certificates for the Shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time, not exceeding ten (10) days, after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised, and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be delivered to the Holder within such time. The Company may require that any such new Warrant or any certificate for Shares purchased upon the exercise hereof bear a legend substantially similar to that which is contained on the face of this Warrant.

2. Transferability of this Warrant. This Warrant is issued upon the following terms, to which each Holder consents and agrees:

      1. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company will treat the Holder of this Warrant registered as such on the books of the Company as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes without being affected by any notice to the contrary.

    1. This Warrant may not be exercised, and this Warrant and the Shares underlying this Warrant shall not be transferable, except in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws, regulations and orders, and with all other applicable laws, regulations and orders.
    2. Prior to making any disposition of this Warrant or of any of the Shares underlying this Warrant, the Holder will give written notice to the Company describing the manner of any such proposed disposition. The Warrant may not be transferred, and the Shares may not be transferred, without the Holder obtaining an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company's counsel stating that the proposed transaction will not result in a prohibited transaction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), and applicable Blue Sky laws. By accepting this Warrant, the Holder agrees to act in accordance with any conditions reasonably imposed on such transfer by such opinion of counsel.
    3. Neither this issuance of this Warrant nor the issuance of the Shares underlying this Warrant have been registered under the Securities Act.

    1. Certain Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, upon issuance and full payment for the Shares so purchased, will be duly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue hereof, except those that may be created by or imposed upon the Holder or its property, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that it will from time to time take all such actions as may be requisite to assure that the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the effective purchase price per share of the Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved free of preemptive or other rights for the exclusive purpose of issue upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.
    2. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price and number of Shares are subject to the following adjustments:

      1. Adjustment of Exercise Price for Stock Dividend, Stock Split or Stock Combination. In the event that (i) any dividends on any class of stock of the Company payable in Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents") shall be paid by the Company, (ii) the Company shall subdivide its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) the Company shall combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, then, in any such event, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall (until adjusted again pursuant hereto) be adjusted immediately after such event to a price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined by dividing (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event, multiplied by the then existing Exercise Price, by (b) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the resulting quotient shall be the adjusted Exercise Price per share. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment shall be less than $.05 per share, but in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than $.05 per share.
      2. Adjustment of Number of Shares Purchasable on Exercise of Warrants. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section, the Holder shall thereafter (until another such adjustment) be entitled to purchase at the adjusted Exercise Price the number of shares, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by multiplying the number of shares specified in such Warrant (as adjusted as a result of all adjustments in the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment) by the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
      3. Notice as to Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price and any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant, then, and in each such case, the Company within thirty (30) days thereafter shall give written notice thereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each Holder as shown on the books of the Company, which notice shall state the adjusted Exercise Price and the increased or decreased number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
      4. Effect of Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, etc. If at any time while any Warrant is outstanding there should be any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company (other than the issuance of any shares of Common Stock in subdivision of outstanding shares of Common Stock by reclassification or otherwise and other than a combination of shares provided for in Section 4(a) hereof), or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or any sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer by the Company of all or substantially all of its property to any other corporation, which is effected in such a manner that the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a part of such transaction, lawful provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon the exercise hereof, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or merger, or of the corporation to which the property of the Company has been sold, conveyed, leased or otherwise transferred, as the case may be, which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer, if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer. In any such case, appropriate adjustments (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Warrant (including the adjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants) to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants as if the Warrants had been exercised immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer and the Warrant Holders had carried out the terms of the exchange as provided for by such capital reorganization, consolidation or merger. The Company shall not effect any such capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer unless, upon or prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation or the corporation to which the property of the Company has been sold, conveyed, leased or otherwise transferred shall assume by written instrument the obligation to deliver to each Holder such shares of stock, securities, cash or property as in accordance with the foregoing provisions such Holder shall be entitled to purchase.

    1. No Rights as Stockholders. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder as such to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.
    2. Company Redemption Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company's Board of Directors shall have the right to redeem the Warrant at a redemption price of $.01 per Share if the average closing price of the Company's Common Stock for any ten (10) consecutive trading days is at least $3.00 per share (as appropriately adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and combinations). Notice of redemption to the Holder shall be given by mailing via first class mail a notice of such redemption not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice given in the manner described above shall be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not the Holder receives the notice.
    3. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.
    4. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Warrant may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waiver or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company agrees in writing and has obtained the written consent of the Holders.
      1. Notices. All notices or communications hereunder, except as herein otherwise specifically provided, shall be in writing and if sent to the Holder shall be mailed, delivered, or telefaxed and confirmed to the Holder at his or her address set forth on the records of the Company; or if sent to the Company shall be mailed, delivered, or telefaxed and confirmed to PopMail.com, inc., 1333 Corporate Drive, Suite 350, Irving, TX 75038 or to such other address as the Company or the Holder shall notify the other as provided in this Section.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

OF POPMAIL.COM, INC.

Warrant No. JB-1 Irving, Texas

December 8, 2000

This certifies that, for value received, JBII Corporation, a Delaware corporation, or its successors or assigns ("Holder"), is entitled to purchase from PopMail.com, Inc. (the "Company") eight hundred forty thousand (840,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares (the "Shares") of the Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), at any time and from time to time from the date hereof until March 15, 2002 (the "Warrant Exercise Period"), at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the "Exercise Price"), subject to adjustment as herein provided. All cash proceeds in excess of $300,000 generated by Holder upon sale or transfer of the Shares (net of any and all reasonable costs, expenses, and obligations incurred by Holder in enforcing its rights under this Warrant, exercising this Warrant, or selling or transferring the Shares, including but not limited to any taxes, discounts, commissions, and attorneys' fees), shall be remitted by Holder to the Company.

This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and conditions:

1. Exercise of Warrant.

(a) Exercise for Cash. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock), during the Warrant Exercise Period by the surrender of this Warrant (properly endorsed, if required, at the Company's principal office in Irving, Texas, or such other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company at any time within the period above named), and upon payment to the Company by certified check, bank draft or cash of the purchase price for such Shares. The Company agrees that the Shares so purchased shall have and are deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such Shares as aforesaid. Certificates for the Shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time, not exceeding ten (10) days, after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised, and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be delivered to the Holder within such time. The Company may require that any such new Warrant or any certificate for Shares purchased upon the exercise hereof bear a legend substantially similar to that which is contained on the face of this Warrant.

b. Cashless Exercise. Upon receipt of a notice of cashless exercise, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (without payment by the Holder of any exercise price) that number of Shares that is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the value of the portion of the Warrant to be exercised on the date that the Warrant shall have been surrendered (determined by subtracting the aggregate exercise price in effect on the Exercise Date for the number of Shares to be purchased upon exercise from the aggregate Fair Market Value (hereinafter defined) for such Shares) by (y) the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock. A notice of "cashless exercise" shall state the number of Shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised. "Fair Market Value" for purposes of this Section (b) shall mean the average of the Common Stock closing prices reported by the principal exchange on which the Common Stock is traded, or the last sale prices as reported by the Nasdaq National Market or SmallCap Market, as the case may be, for the ten (10) business days immediately preceding the Exercise Date or, in the event no public market shall exist for the Common Stock at the time of such cashless exercise, Fair Market Value shall mean the fair market value of the Common Stock as the same shall be determined in the good faith discretion of the Board of Directors, after full consideration of all factors then deemed relevant by such Board in establishing such value, including by way of illustration and not limitation, the per share purchase price of Common Stock or per security convertible into one share of Common Stock of the most recent sale of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock by the Company after the date hereof all as evidenced by the vote of a majority of the directors then in office.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the Warrant, the Shares issuable on conversion or exercise thereof, and the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder and thereunder has been taken or will be taken prior to the delivery of this Warrant. The execution and delivery of this Warrant, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, and the compliance with the terms and provisions of this Warrant do not and will not conflict with, or result in the breach of, or constitute a default or an event permitting acceleration under, the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, or any stock purchase agreement, shareholder agreement, note, bank loan, credit agreement, license, lease, or any other agreement, understanding, instrument, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule, or regulation to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. The Warrant, when executed and delivered by the Company, shall constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

3. Transferability of this Warrant. This Warrant is issued upon the following terms, to which the Holder consents and agrees:

(a) Other than any sale, pledge, or transfer to Vignette Corporation or any sale, pledge, or transfer to a third party approved in writing by Vignette Corporation, Holder shall not sell or transfer this Warrant, or the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, earlier than March 15, 2001, without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company will treat the Holder of this Warrant registered as such on the books of the Company as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes without being affected by any notice to the contrary, provided, that upon five days of receipt by the Company of a notice that the Warrant has been transferred to Vignette Corporation, the Company shall effect such transfer on its books and records.

(c) This Warrant may not be exercised, and this Warrant and the Shares underlying this Warrant shall not be transferable, except in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws, regulations and orders, and with all other applicable laws, regulations and orders.

(d) If a registration statement is not effective with respect to the Warrant or the Shares, as the case may be, prior to making any disposition of this Warrant or of any of the Shares underlying this Warrant, the Holder will give written notice to the Company describing the manner of any such proposed disposition. In such event, the Warrant may not be transferred, and the Shares may not be transferred, without the Holder obtaining an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company's counsel stating that the proposed transaction will not result in a prohibited transaction under the Securities Act. By accepting this Warrant, the Holder agrees to act in accordance with any conditions reasonably imposed on such transfer by such opinion of counsel.

(e) Neither this issuance of this Warrant nor the issuance of the Shares underlying this Warrant have been registered under the Securities Act.

4. Certain Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, upon issuance and full payment for the Shares so purchased, will be duly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue hereof, except those that may be created by or imposed upon the Holder or its property, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that it will from time to time take all such actions as may be required to assure that the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the effective purchase price per share of the Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved free of preemptive or other rights for the exclusive purpose of issue upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

5. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price and number of Shares are subject to the following adjustments:

(a) Adjustment of Exercise Price for Stock Dividend, Stock Split or Stock Combination. In the event that (i) any dividends on any class of stock of the Company payable in Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents") shall be paid by the Company, (ii) the Company shall subdivide its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) the Company shall combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, then, in any such event, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall (until adjusted again pursuant hereto) be adjusted immediately after such event to a price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined by dividing (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event, multiplied by the then existing Exercise Price, by (b) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the resulting quotient shall be the adjusted Exercise Price per share. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment shall be less than $.05 per share, but in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than $.05 per share.

(b) Adjustment of Number of Shares Purchasable on Exercise of Warrants. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section, the Holder shall thereafter (until another such adjustment) be entitled to purchase at the adjusted Exercise Price the number of shares, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by multiplying the number of shares specified in such Warrant (as adjusted as a result of all adjustments in the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment) by the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.

(c) Notice as to Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price and any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant, then, and in each such case, the Company within thirty (30) days thereafter shall give written notice thereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each Holder as shown on the books of the Company, which notice shall state the adjusted Exercise Price and the increased or decreased number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

(d) Effect of Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, etc. If at any time while any Warrant is outstanding there should be any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company (other than the issuance of any shares of Common Stock in subdivision of outstanding shares of Common Stock by reclassification or otherwise and other than a combination of shares provided for in Section 5(a) hereof), or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or any sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer by the Company of all or substantially all of its property to any other corporation, which is effected in such a manner that the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a part of such transaction, lawful provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon the exercise hereof, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or merger, or of the corporation to which the property of the Company has been sold, conveyed, leased or otherwise transferred, as the case may be, which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer, if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer. In any such case, appropriate adjustments (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Warrant (including the adjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants) to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants as if the Warrants had been exercised immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer and the Warrant Holders had carried out the terms of the exchange as provided for by such capital reorganization, consolidation or merger. The Company shall not effect any such capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer unless, upon or prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation or the corporation to which the property of the Company has been sold, conveyed, leased or otherwise transferred shall assume by written instrument the obligation to deliver to each Holder such shares of stock, securities, cash or property as in accordance with the foregoing provisions such Holder shall be entitled to purchase.

6. No Rights as Shareholders. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder as such to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

7. Registration Rights. If the Company shall propose to file any registration statement (other than any registration statement on Form S-4, S-8 or any other similarly inappropriate form, or any successor forms thereto), under the 1933 Act covering a public offering of the Company's Common Stock (including Common Stock held by shareholders of the Company), including without limitation the registration statement the Company was preparing, as of November 30, 2000, on Form S-3, it shall include in the Registration Statement (to the extent permitted by applicable regulation), the Common Stock purchased or purchasable by the Holder upon the exercise of the Warrant. The Company shall bear all expenses and fees incurred in connection with the preparation, filing, and amendment of the Registration Statement with the Commission, except that the Holder shall pay all fees, disbursements and expenses of any counsel or expert retained by the Holder and all underwriting discounts and commissions, filing fees and any transfer or other taxes relating to the Shares included in the Registration Statement. The Holder of this Warrant agrees to cooperate with the Company in the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement, and in the furnishing of information concerning the Holder for inclusion therein, or in any efforts by the Company to establish that the proposed sale is exempt under the 1933 Act as to any proposed distribution. Except as provided above, all attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by the Holder in enforcing its registration rights set forth in this Section 7 shall be paid by the Company.

8. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.

9. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Warrant may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waiver or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company agrees in writing and has obtained the written consent of the Holders.

10. Notices. All notices or communications hereunder, except as herein otherwise specifically provided, shall be in writing and if sent to the Holder shall be mailed, delivered, or telefaxed and confirmed to the Holder at its address set forth on the records of the Company, with a copy to Vignette Corporation, 901 S. Mopac, Building III, Austin, Texas 78746, Attn: General Counsel; or if sent to the Company shall be mailed, delivered, or telefaxed and confirmed to PopMail.com, Inc., 1333 Corporate Drive # 350, Irving, TX 75038 or to such other address as the Company or the Holder shall notify the other as provided in this Section.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

OF POPMAIL.COM, INC.

Warrant No. ___ Irving, Texas

December 21, 2000

This certifies that, for value received, The Shaar Fund, or its successors or assigns ("Holder") is entitled to purchase from PopMail.com, inc. (the "Company") One Hundred Thousand (100,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares (the "Shares") of the Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), at any time from the date hereof until December 21, 2005 (the "Warrant Exercise Period"), at an exercise price per share of 120% of the Market Price (as defined below) (the "Exercise Price"), subject to adjustment as herein provided. "Market Price" shall mean the lower of (i) the lowest trade of the Company's Common Stock as reported by Nasdaq or (ii) the lowest price for which the Company sells a share of Common Stock, each determined during the period commencing thirty (30) days prior to the date hereof and ending thirty (30) days after the date hereof.

This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and conditions:

1. Exercise of Warrant. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock), by the surrender of this Warrant (properly endorsed, if required, at the Company's principal office in Irving, Texas, or such other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company at any time within the period above named), and upon payment to it by certified check, bank draft or cash of the purchase price for such Shares. The Company agrees that the Shares so purchased shall have and are deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such Shares as aforesaid. Certificates for the Shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time, not exceeding ten (10) days, after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised, and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number of Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be delivered to the Holder within such time. The Company may require that any such new Warrant or any certificate for Shares purchased upon the exercise hereof bear a legend substantially similar to that which is contained on the face of this Warrant.

2. Transferability of this Warrant. This Warrant is issued upon the following terms, to which each Holder consents and agrees:

(a) Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company will treat the Holder of this Warrant registered as such on the books of the Company as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes without being affected by any notice to the contrary.

(b) This Warrant may not be exercised, and this Warrant and the Shares underlying this Warrant shall not be transferable, except in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws, regulations and orders, and with all other applicable laws, regulations and orders.

(c) Prior to making any disposition of this Warrant or of any of the Shares underlying this Warrant, the Holder will give written notice to the Company describing the manner of any such proposed disposition. The Warrant may not be transferred, and the Shares may not be transferred, without the Holder obtaining an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company's counsel stating that the proposed transaction will not result in a prohibited transaction under the Securities Act, and applicable Blue Sky laws. By accepting this Warrant, the Holder agrees to act in accordance with any conditions reasonably imposed on such transfer by such opinion of counsel.

(d) Neither this issuance of this Warrant nor the issuance of the Shares underlying this Warrant have been registered under the Securities Act.

3. Certain Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, upon issuance and full payment for the Shares so purchased, will be duly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue hereof, except those that may be created by or imposed upon the Holder or its property, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that it will from time to time take all such actions as may be requisite to assure that the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the effective purchase price per share of the Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved free of preemptive or other rights for the exclusive purpose of issue upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

4. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price and number of Shares are subject to the following adjustments:

(a) Adjustment of Exercise Price for Stock Dividend, Stock Split or Stock Combination. In the event that (i) any dividends on any class of stock of the Company payable in Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents") shall be paid by the Company, (ii) the Company shall subdivide its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) the Company shall combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, then, in any such event, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall (until adjusted again pursuant hereto) be adjusted immediately after such event to a price (calculated to the nearest full cent) determined by dividing (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event, multiplied by the then existing Exercise Price, by (b) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the resulting quotient shall be the adjusted Exercise Price per share. No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment shall be less than $.05 per share, but in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than $.05 per share.

(b) Adjustment of Number of Shares Purchasable on Exercise of Warrants. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section, the Holder shall thereafter (until another such adjustment) be entitled to purchase at the adjusted Exercise Price the number of shares, calculated to the nearest full share, obtained by multiplying the number of shares specified in such Warrant (as adjusted as a result of all adjustments in the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment) by the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.

(c) Notice as to Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price and any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant, then, and in each such case, the Company within thirty (30) days thereafter shall give written notice thereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each Holder as shown on the books of the Company, which notice shall state the adjusted Exercise Price and the increased or decreased number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

(d) Effect of Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, etc. If at any time while any Warrant is outstanding there should be any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company (other than the issuance of any shares of Common Stock in subdivision of outstanding shares of Common Stock by reclassification or otherwise and other than a combination of shares provided for in Section 4(a) hereof), or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or any sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer by the Company of all or substantially all of its property to any other corporation, which is effected in such a manner that the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a part of such transaction, lawful provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon the exercise hereof, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or merger, or of the corporation to which the property of the Company has been sold, conveyed, leased or otherwise transferred, as the case may be, which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer, if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer. In any such case, appropriate adjustments (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Warrant (including the adjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants) to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants as if the Warrants had been exercised immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer and the Warrant Holders had carried out the terms of the exchange as provided for by such capital reorganization, consolidation or merger. The Company shall not effect any such capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer unless, upon or prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation or the corporation to which the property of the Company has been sold, conveyed, leased or otherwise transferred shall assume by written instrument the obligation to deliver to each Holder such shares of stock, securities, cash or property as in accordance with the foregoing provisions such Holder shall be entitled to purchase.

5. No Rights as Stockholders. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder as such to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

 

6. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.

7. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Warrant may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waiver or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company agrees in writing and has obtained the written consent of the Holders.

8. Notices. All notices or communications hereunder, except as herein otherwise specifically provided, shall be in writing and if sent to the Holder shall be mailed, delivered, or telefaxed and confirmed to the Holder at his or her address set forth on the records of the Company; or if sent to the Company shall be mailed, delivered, or telefaxed and confirmed to PopMail.com, inc., 1333 Corporate Drive, Suite 350, Irving, TX 75038 or to such other address as the Company or the Holder shall notify the other as provided in this Section.

Exhibit 4.55

March 12, 2000

 

To: Henry Fong, Gulfstream Partners

From: PopMail.com, Inc.

Re: Amended and Restated Letter Agreement for Investment

Dear Mr. Fong:

PopMail.com, Inc. ("PopMail" of the "Company") hereby agrees to sell shares of its common stock to Gulfstream Partners ("Gulfstream") on the following terms, which have been amended and restated from the terms of our previous letter agreement dated October 30, 2000:

    1. Gulfstream hereby subscribes for and purchases 3,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of PopMail. Upon the shareholder approval and filing of the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation referred to above, the shares of Common Stock issued to Gulfstream will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
    2. In payment for the Common Stock, Gulfstream agrees to pay to the Company a cash purchase price of Four Hundred Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($425,000). The purchase price will be paid no later than October 30, 2000.
    3. Gulfstream acknowledges that an investment in PopMail is highly speculative, involves a high degree of risk and immediate dilution and is suitable only for persons who can afford to lose their entire investment. Gulfstream represents and warrants that it is Gulfstream's intention to acquire the Common Stock for its account for investment purposes and not with a view to resale in connection with any distribution thereof. Gulfstream further represents and agrees that if Gulfstream should later desire to dispose of or transfer any of the Common Stock in any manner, Gulfstream shall not do so without registration of the Common Stock pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and applicable state laws, unless Gulfstream obtains an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such proposed disposition or transfer may be made lawfully without the registration. Gulfstream understands and acknowledges that the stock certificate representing the shares of Common Stock subscribed for hereby and to be issued by the Company upon acceptance of this Subscription Agreement, will contain an appropriate restrictive legend evidencing the above restrictions.
    4. PopMail agrees that as soon as practicable and in no event more than 60 days after the issuance of the Common Stock, it will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 (or, if such form is unavailable, on such other form as is available for such registration), covering the resale of the Common Stock. PopMail will use its best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 30 days after the filing of the registration statement. PopMail will use its best efforts to keep the registration statement effective at all times until the earlier of (i) two years after the date of this Agreement or (ii) the date on which Gulfstream or its assignee has sold all of the Common Stock.
    5. Gulfstream shall maintain the right to assign up to 1,588,235 of the aforementioned 3,000,000 shares to Wayne Mills, Blake Capital Partners or such other assignee as Gulfstream requests.
    6. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and to their successors and assigns. This instrument contains the entire agreement of the parties, and there are no representations, covenants or other agreements except as stated or referred to herein. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota.

Very truly yours,

POPMAIL.COM, INC.

5. Miscellaneous.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Minnesota, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws.

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

By and Between

NETCALENDAR, INC.

and

POPMAIL.COM, INC.

______________________________

August __, 2000

______________________________

 

 

 

 

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of August 8, 2000 (the "Effective Date") by and between NetCalendar, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter "NetCalendar"), and PopMail.com, inc., a Minnesota corporation ("PopMail").

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, PopMail desires to purchase 27,624 shares of NetCalendar common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares") and NetCalendar is willing to sell the Shares to PopMail pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions set forth hereinafter.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

A G R E E M E N T:

  1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF STOCK

    1. Purchase and Sale. Pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, NetCalendar shall issue and sell the Shares to PopMail, and PopMail shall purchase the Shares from NetCalendar for the price of $1,000,000 (the "Purchase Price") payable in the manner specified in Section 1.2.
    2. Payment of the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be paid in shares of PopMail common stock, $.01 par value, ("Purchase Price Shares") delivered to NetCalendar at the closing (the "Closing") of the purchase transaction contemplated herein selected by mutual agreement of the parties, but not later than August 26, 2000 (the "Initial Closing Date"). For purposes of this Section 1.2, the Purchase Price Shares shall be valued at the average closing share price of PopMail common stock for the ten consecutive trading days preceding the second business day prior to the Initial Closing Date (the "Initial Closing Share Price"); provided, however, that PopMail shall not be obligated to issue shares of its common stock at an effective per share price of less than $.50. If the average closing share price of PopMail common stock for the ten consecutive trading days preceding the second business day prior to the Initial Closing Date is less than $.50, PopMail shall offer to NetCalendar Purchase Price Shares at an effective per share price of $.50 and NetCalendar shall have the option to accept such offer (in which event the Initial Closing Share Price shall be $.50) or to reject such offer and terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1.
    3. The Closing. The Closing shall take place at the offices of Maslon Edelman Borman & Brand, LLP, 3300 Wells Fargo Center, Minneapolis, MN 55402. At the Closing, NetCalendar shall deliver to PopMail a certificate representing the Shares in a form reasonably satisfactory to PopMail and its counsel and duly executed by authorized officers of NetCalendar. At the Closing, PopMail shall deliver to NetCalendar certificates representing the Purchase Price Shares in a form reasonably satisfactory to NetCalendar and its counsel and duly executed by authorized officers of PopMail.
    4. Supplemental Closing. During the seven (7) business day period commencing on the 435th day following the Initial Closing Date, NetCalendar shall make the following determinations: (a) the average per share selling price (the "Average Selling Price") of all Purchase Price Shares, if any, sold by NetCalendar during the 15-month period beginning upon the Initial Closing Date pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.2 hereof, and (b) the number of Purchase Price Shares, if any, which NetCalendar offered for sale at any time pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.2 hereof, but was not able to sell due to lack of a buyer during the applicable period (the "Unsold Purchase Price Shares"). NetCalendar shall provide to PopMail written notice of each such determination in reasonable detail, which notice shall include a certificate containing any Unsold Purchase Price Shares (the "Lookback Notice"). If the Average Selling Price of Purchase Price Shares sold by NetCalendar during such period is less than the Initial Closing Share Price of such shares, NetCalendar shall have the right to receive additional cash or, at PopMail's option, shares of PopMail common stock ("Supplemental Purchase Price Shares") equal in value to the amount by which the Initial Closing Share Price exceeds the Average Selling Price, multiplied by the number of Purchase Price Shares sold by NetCalendar during such 15-month period (such amount constituting the "Supplemental Purchase Price"). In addition to the Supplemental Purchase Price, to the extent NetCalendar has returned any Unsold Purchase Price Shares with the Lookback Notice, NetCalendar shall have the right to receive, in exchange therefor, such number of NetCalendar Shares as provided below. On the 10th business day following the date of the Lookback Notice delivered in accordance herewith(the "Supplemental Closing Date"), PopMail shall deliver to NetCalendar (a) either cash or one or more certificates executed by duly authorized officers of PopMail representing Supplemental Purchase Price Shares equal in value to the Supplemental Purchase Price, and (b) such number of Shares as shall have been purchased by PopMail with the Unsold Purchase Price Shares as of the Initial Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 1.4, the value of the Supplemental Purchase Price Shares shall be equal to the average closing share price of PopMail common stock for the ten consecutive trading days preceding the second business day prior to the Supplemental Closing Date. In the event that the Supplemental Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on or before the Supplemental Registration Due Date, or is not maintained effective throughout the Supplemental Registration Period, pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.3 hereof, NetCalendar shall be entitled to return to PopMail certificates representing such number of Supplemental Purchase Price Shares as shall then be held by NetCalendar (such shares representing the "Unrealized Supplemental Purchase Price") and PopMail shall, within five (5) days following receipt of same, either pay to NetCalendar the Unrealized Supplemental Purchase Price in cash or return to NetCalendar that number of Shares as shall have been equivalent in value to the Unrealized Supplemental Purchase Price as of the Initial Closing Date.

  2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

    1. Representations and Warranties of NetCalendar. NetCalendar hereby represents and warrants to PopMail as of the date hereof as follows:
      1. Organization and Qualification.

NetCalendar is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not, individually or in the aggregate, (x) adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the Shares or this Agreement, (y) have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, or financial condition of NetCalendar, or (z) adversely impair NetCalendar's ability to perform fully on a timely basis its material obligations under this Agreement (a "Material Adverse Effect").
      2. Authorization; Enforcement. NetCalendar has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to otherwise carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by NetCalendar and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of NetCalendar. This Agreement has been duly executed by NetCalendar and when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of NetCalendar enforceable against NetCalendar in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application. NetCalendar is not in violation of any provision of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other charter documents.
      3. Capitalization. The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of NetCalendar is set forth in Schedule 2.1(c). The only shares of currently issued and outstanding NetCalendar capital stock (including shares of common stock) entitled to preemptive or similar rights are shares of Series A, B and C Convertible Preferred Stock. Except as disclosed in Schedule 2.1(c), there are no outstanding options, warrants, script rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or, securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or giving any person any right to subscribe for or acquire any shares of common stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which NetCalendar is or may become bound to issue additional shares of common stock, or securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of common stock.
      4. Issuance of the Shares. The Shares are duly authorized, and, when issued against payment as contemplated by this Agreement, shall be validly issued.
      5. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by NetCalendar and the consummation by NetCalendar of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other charter documents (each as amended through the date hereof), (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument (evidencing a NetCalendar debt or otherwise) to which NetCalendar is a party or by which any property or asset of NetCalendar is bound or affected, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which NetCalendar is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of NetCalendar is bound or affected, except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect. The business of NetCalendar is not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental authority, except for violations which, individually or in the aggregate, could not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.
      6. Consents and Approvals. NetCalendar is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local, foreign or other governmental authority or other Person (defined below) in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by NetCalendar of this Agreement other than where the failure to obtain such consent, waiver, authorization or order, or to give or make such notice or filing, could not have or result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. NetCalendar shall deliver to PopMail the Shares in the manner contemplated hereby free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of any nature whatsoever. A "Person" means an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind.
      7. Litigation; Proceedings. Except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 2.1(g), there is no action, suit, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of NetCalendar, threatened against or affecting NetCalendar or any of its properties before or by any court, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority (federal, state, county, local or foreign) which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the Shares or (ii) could, individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.
      8. No Default or Violation.

      11. Access to Information. NetCalendar acknowledges that NetCalendar has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as NetCalendar has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of PopMail concerning the merits and risks of investing in the Purchase Price Shares and the Supplemental Purchase Price Shares; (ii) access to information about PopMail and PopMail's financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable NetCalendar to evaluate NetCalendar's investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information which PopMail possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision.
      12. Reliance.

      2. Authorization; Enforcement.

  4. OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

    1. Transfer Restrictions.
      1. The Shares, Purchase Price Shares, the Supplemental Purchase Price Shares and the Additional Shares (defined in Section 4.4 below) may only be disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from or in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements thereof. In connection with any transfer of such securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, the issuer may require the transferor thereof to provide to the issuer an opinion of counsel experienced in the area of federal securities laws selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the issuer and its counsel, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
      2. Each of NetCalendar and PopMail agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1(b), of either of the following legends on certificates and other documents representing the Shares, Purchase Price Shares, Supplemental Purchase Price Shares and Additional Shares:

      Legend (1):

      THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE, IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

      Legend (2):

      THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IF REGISTERED UNDER SUCH APPLICABLE ACTS OR UPON DELIVERY TO THE COMPANY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION.

    2. The legends set forth above shall be removed from such certificates and other documents and the issuer shall issue a certificate without any legend (upon surrender of the legended certificates or other documents duly endorsed) to each holder of such certificates and other documents upon which it is stamped if (i) such securities are registered for resale under the Securities Act or (ii) such legend is not required pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act. Each of NetCalendar and PopMail agrees that it will provide the other, upon request, with certificates representing the issuer's securities issued pursuant to this Agreement free from such legend at such time as such legend is no longer required in accordance with this Section.
    3. Appointment to Board of Advisors; Appointment to Board of Directors.
      1. Promptly upon the Closing of the purchase of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement, NetCalendar shall appoint one person designated by PopMail to the NetCalendar Board of Advisors and permit such person (or any replacement designated by PopMail) to fully participate in the duties and other activities of the Board of Advisors, and shall reimburse such person for any and all expense reasonably incurred in connection therewith, so long as PopMail owns any of the Shares. PopMail hereby designates ______________ as PopMail's first appointee to serve on the NetCalendar Board of Advisors.
      2. In the event that PopMail fully exercises the Option pursuant to Section 4.4 below as to all 27,624 Additional Shares, and PopMail causes the Initial Registration Statement defined in Section 5.1 to be declared effective on or before the Initial Registration Due Date, NetCalendar shall cause PopMail's designee (or any replacement designee subsequently identified by PopMail) to be appointed to the NetCalendar Board of Directors. So long as (i) the Initial Registration Statement is maintained effective throughout the Registration Period and any Supplemental Registration Statement is maintained effective throughout the Supplemental Registration Period, and (ii) PopMail owns in excess of eight percent (8%) of NetCalendar's issued and outstanding shares of capital stock, on a fully diluted, as-converted basis, PopMail's designee shall continue to serve on the NetCalendar Board of Directors.
    4. Option to Purchase Additional Shares. NetCalendar hereby grants to PopMail an option (the "Option") to purchase up to 27,624 additional shares of NetCalendar common stock (the "Additional Shares") at a per share price of $36.2004 (the "Exercise Price"), payable in cash. To exercise the Option, PopMail must deliver written notice thereof (the "Option Notice") to NetCalendar on or before the 30th day following the Initial Closing Date. In the event that PopMail elects to exercise the Option, the parties shall select a mutually agreeable closing date, time and location within thirty (30) days of the Option Notice, at which PopMail will deliver to NetCalendar the aggregate Exercise Price and NetCalendar shall deliver to PopMail certificates representing the Additional Shares.
    5. Notice of Breaches. Each of NetCalendar and PopMail shall give prompt written notice to the other of any breach of any representation, warranty or other agreement contained in this Agreement, as well as any events or occurrences arising after the date hereof and prior to the Initial Closing Date which would reasonably be likely to cause any representation or warranty or other agreement of such party, as the case may be, contained herein to be materially incorrect or breached as the date thereof. However, no disclosure by either party pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be deemed to cure any breach of any representation, warranty or other agreement contained herein

  5. REGISTRATION OF POPMAIL COMMON STOCK

    1. Filing of Initial Registration Statement. On or before the 30th day following the Initial Closing Date, PopMail shall prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) (the "Initial Registration Statement") covering the resale of the Purchase Price Shares issued pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof with the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act. PopMail will use its reasonable best efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC on or before the 75th day following the Initial Closing Date (the Initial Registration Due Date"). PopMail shall maintain the effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement at all times until the second anniversary of the Initial Closing Date (the "Registration Period").
    2. Resale of Purchase Price Shares. NetCalendar may sell pursuant to the Initial Registration Statement up to 25 percent of the Purchase Price Shares during each of four successive 90 day periods commencing on the date the Initial Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC (the "Effective Date").

    3. Supplemental Registration Statement. In the event that PopMail issues Supplemental Purchase Price Shares pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.4 hereof, PopMail shall prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) (the "Supplemental Registration Statement") covering the resale of such securities with the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act.

PopMail shall maintain the effectiveness of the Supplemental Registration Statement at all times until the first anniversary of the Supplemental Closing Date (the "Supplemental Registration Period").
    4. Filing of Amendments. PopMail shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Initial Registration Statement (and, if applicable, the Supplemental Registration Statement) and the prospectus(es) used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statements effective at all times through the Registration Period and the Supplemental Registration Period.
    5. Qualification Under Blue Sky Laws. PopMail shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify the securities covered by the Initial Registration Statement and Supplemental Registration Statement (collectively, the "PopMail Shares") under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as NetCalendar may reasonably request, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times through the Registration Period and, if applicable, the Supplemental Registration Period and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the PopMail Shares for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that PopMail shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (I) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 5.5, (II) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, (III) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction (excluding execution of a Form U-2 Uniform Consent to Service of Process or equivalent filing which may be required for such registration, qualification or any exemption therefrom), or (IV) make any change in its charter or bylaws.
    6. Registration Expenses. All expenses (other than fees and expenses of investment bankers retained by NetCalendar, if any, and brokerage commissions) incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this Article 5, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees and the fees and disbursements of counsel for PopMail, shall be borne by PopMail; provided, however, that NetCalendar shall bear the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of its own legal counsel and any accountants and agents engaged by NetCalendar.
    7. Indemnification. In the event any PopMail Shares are included in a registration statement pursuant to this Agreement:
      1. To the extent permitted by law, PopMail (in such capacity an "Indemnifying Party") shall indemnify and hold NetCalendar (in such capacity an "Indemnified Person") harmless against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (collectively the "Claims") to which NetCalendar becomes subject under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise, insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations in the Initial Registration Statement or Supplemental Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment thereof, or any prospectus included therein: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in either registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or 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, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of the applicable registration statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if PopMail files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by PopMail of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, "Violations"). PopMail shall reimburse NetCalendar promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by NetCalendar in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 5.7 shall not apply to a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to PopMail by NetCalendar expressly for use in connection with the preparation of either the Initial Registration Statement or the Supplemental Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person.
      2. In connection with the Initial Registration Statement and, if applicable, the Supplemental Registration Statement, NetCalendar (in such capacity an "Indemnifying Party") agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the same extent and in the same manner set forth in Section 5.7(a), PopMail, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls PopMail within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and any other shareholder selling securities pursuant to the applicable registration statement or any of its directors or officers or any person who controls such shareholder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each an "Indemnified Party"), against any Claim to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim arises out of or is based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to PopMail by NetCalendar expressly for use in connection with either or both registration statement; and NetCalendar will promptly reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of NetCalendar, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that NetCalendar shall be liable under this Section 5.7(b) for only that amount of a Claim as does not exceed the net proceeds to NetCalendar as a result of the sale of the Purchase Price Shares or the Supplemental Purchase Price Shares pursuant to either the Initial Registration Statement or the Supplemental Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.
      3. Promptly after receipt by the Indemnified Person or any Indemnified Party under this Section 5.7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), the Indemnified Person or such Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to made against any Indemnifying Party under this Section 5.7, deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice of the commencement thereof and this Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Indemnifying Party so desires, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Indemnifying Parties; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 5.7, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 5.7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.
    8. Contribution. To the extent any indemnification provided for herein is prohibited or limited by law, the Indemnifying Party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 5.7 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that (a) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 5.7, (b) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation and (c) contribution by NetCalendar shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by NetCalendar from the sale of the Purchase Price Shares and the Supplemental Purchase Price Shares.
    9. Reports under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to NetCalendar the benefits of Rule 144 or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit NetCalendar to sell securities of PopMail to the public without registration, until such time as NetCalendar have sold all the Purchase Price Shares and the Supplemental Purchase Price Shares pursuant to the Initial Registration Statement and, if applicable, the Supplemental Registration Statement, or Rule 144, PopMail agrees to:
      1. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
      2. file with the SEC all reports and other documents required of PopMail under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
      3. furnish to NetCalendar so long as NetCalendar owns Purchase Price Shares or Supplemental Purchase Price Shares, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by PopMail that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of PopMail and such other reports and documents so filed by PopMail and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit NetCalendar to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

  6. TERMINATION; REMEDIES

    1. Termination. This Agreement will be terminated and, except as set forth below, the provisions hereof shall have no further force or effect in the earliest event that:

Within ten (10) days of the date of such Termination Notice, PopMail shall deliver to NetCalendar the certificates representing the Shares and NetCalendar shall deliver to PopMail the certificates representing the Purchase Price Shares; or
      3.

Within ten (10) days of the date of such Termination Notice, NetCalendar shall deliver to PopMail certificates representing such number of Purchase Price Shares as shall then be held by NetCalendar, and PopMail shall deliver to NetCalendar certificates representing such number of Shares as shall equal the value of the Purchase Price Shares tendered by NetCalendar hereunder, with the value of the Purchase Price Shares and the Shares exchanged under this Section 6.1(c) each being determined as of the Initial Closing Date.

The Debtor and the Secured Party are parties to a Secured Promissory Note of even date with this Agreement (the "Note"). The parties intend that the Debtor's obligations to repay the Note be secured by certain assets of the Debtor.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the purchase of the Note by the Secured Party and for other good and valuable consideration, the Debtor hereby agrees with the Secured Party as follows:

1. Grant of Security Interest. To secure the Debtor's full and timely performance of all of the Debtor's obligations and liabilities to the Secured Party pursuant to the Note (including, without limitation, Debtor's obligation to timely pay the principal amount of the Note) (the "Obligations"), the Debtor hereby grants to the Secured Party a continuing security interest (the "Security Interest") in and to all of the property described on Exhibit A to this Agreement (the "Collateral"). The Security Interest shall be a first and prior interest in all of the Collateral.

2. Covenants. The Debtor covenants and agrees with the Secured Party that, from and after the date of this Agreement until the Obligations are paid in full:

(a) Other Liens. Except for the Security Interest, the Debtor is the owner of the Collateral. No financing statements covering any Collateral or any proceeds thereof are on file in any public office.

(b) Further Documentation. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Secured Party, and at the sole expense of the Secured Party, the Debtor will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such further action as the Secured Party may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, filing any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the liens created hereby. The Debtor also hereby authorizes the Secured Party to file any such financing or continuation statement without the signature of the Debtor to the extent permitted by applicable law. A reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement (or as an exhibit to a financing statement on form UCC-1) for filing in any jurisdiction.

(c) Indemnification. The Debtor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Secured Party against any and all liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses): (i) with respect to, or resulting from, any delay in paying, any and all excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or (ii) with respect to, or resulting from, any delay in complying with any law, rule, regulation or order of any governmental authority applicable to any of the Collateral.

(d) Maintenance of Records. The Debtor will keep and maintain at its own expense complete and satisfactory records of the Collateral.

(e) Inspection Rights. The Secured Party shall have full access during normal business hours, and upon reasonable prior notice, to all the books, correspondence and other records of the Debtor relating to the Collateral. The Secured Party or its representatives may examine such records and make photocopies or otherwise take extracts from such records. The Debtor agrees to render to the Secured Party, at the Debtor's expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard to the exercise of its rights pursuant to this paragraph.

(f) Compliance with Laws, etc. The Debtor will comply in all material respects with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of any governmental authority applicable to any part of the Collateral or to the operation of the Debtor's business; provided, however, that the Debtor may contest any such law, rule, regulation or order in any reasonable manner which does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Debtor, adversely affect the Secured Party's rights or the priority of its liens on the Collateral.

(g) Payment of Obligations. The Debtor will pay promptly when due all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Collateral or with respect to any of its income or profits derived from the Collateral, as well as all claims of any kind (including, without limitation, claims for labor, materials and supplies) against or with respect to the Collateral, except that no such charge need be paid if (i) the validity of such charge is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (ii) such proceedings do not involve any material danger of the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the Collateral or any interest in the Collateral and (iii) such charge is adequately reserved against on the Debtor's books in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

(h) Further Identification of Collateral. The Debtor will furnish to the Secured Party from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Secured Party may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

3. Secured Party's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Powers. For purposes of this Agreement, "Event of Default" means Debtor's failure to pay or discharge the Obligations in full in accordance with the terms of the Note. The Debtor hereby appoints the Secured Party and any officer or agent of the Secured Party, with full power of substitution, as its attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place of the Debtor and in the name of the Debtor or its own name, from time to time in the Secured Party's discretion so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any appropriate action and to execute any instrument which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Secured Party shall have the right, without notice to, or the consent of, the Debtor, to do any of the following on the Debtor's behalf:

(i) to pay or discharge any taxes or liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;

(ii) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all amounts due or to become due thereunder directly to the Secured Party or as the Secured Party directs;

(iii) to ask for or demand, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any payments due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral;

(iv) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any right in respect of any Collateral;

(v) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Debtor with respect to any Collateral;

(vi) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in subsection (v) above and to give such discharges or releases in connection therewith as the Secured Party may deem appropriate;

(vii) to assign any patent right included in the Collateral of Debtor (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such patent right pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Secured Party shall in its sole discretion determine; and

(viii) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral and to take, at the Secured Party's option and the Debtor's expense, any actions which the Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Party's liens on the Collateral and to carry out the intent of this Agreement, in each case to the same extent as if the Secured Party were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes.

The Debtor hereby ratifies whatever actions the Secured Party shall lawfully do or cause to be done in accordance with this Section 3. This power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

(b) No Duty on Secured Party's Part. The powers conferred on the Secured Party by this Section 3 are solely to protect the Secured Party's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Secured Party nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall, in the absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence, be responsible to the Debtor for any act or failure to act pursuant to this Section 3.

4. Remedies. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Secured Party may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Washington Uniform Commercial Code, as amended from time to time (the "Code").

5. Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. The Secured Party's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and preservation of the Collateral, under RCW 62.9-207 of the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Secured Party deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Secured Party nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Debtor or otherwise.

6. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement with respect the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

7. Miscellaneous.

(a) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the parties or their respective successors and assigns. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 7(a) shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Transfer; Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the Debtor and its successors and assigns and inure to the benefit of the Secured Party and its successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

(c) Governing Law. This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

(d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

(e) Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

(g) Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith, in order to maintain the economic position enjoyed by each party as close as possible to that under the provision rendered unenforceable. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(h) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and any and all other written or oral agreements existing between the parties hereto concerning such subject matter are expressly canceled.

Seller is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for failures to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the IZ Business.

Seller holds right, title and interest under the terms of each Supply Agreement free of all Liens. Seller is not in default under any such Supply Agreements (or has caused an event which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default), nor, to the best of Seller's knowledge, is the other party thereto in default (or has caused an event which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under any such Supply Agreements.

None of Seller's employees, consultants, officers or directors is obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or to the best of Seller's knowledge subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would conflict with their obligation to promote the interests of Seller with regard to the IZ Business or the Purchased Assets or that would conflict with the IZ Business or the Purchased Assets. Neither the carrying on of the IZ Business by its employees and consultants, nor to the best of Seller's knowledge the execution or the delivery of this Agreement, will conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which any of such persons or entities are now obligated. It is currently not necessary nor will it be necessary for Seller to utilize in the IZ Business any inventions of any of such persons or entities (or people it currently intends to hire) made or owned prior to their employment by or affiliation with Seller, nor is it or will it be necessary to utilize any other assets or rights of any such persons or entities (or people it currently intends to hire) made or owned prior to their employment with or engagement by Seller, in violation of any registered patents, trade names, trademarks or copyrights or any other limitations or restrictions to which any such persons or entity is a party or to which any of such assets or rights may be subject. To the Seller's knowledge, none of Seller's employees, consultants, officers, directors or shareholders that has had knowledge or access to information relating to the Purchased Assets has taken, removed or made use of any proprietary documentation, manuals, products, materials, or any other tangible item from his or her previous employer relating to the Purchased Assets by such previous employer which has resulted in Seller's access to or use of such proprietary items included in the Purchased Assets, and Seller will not gain access to or make use of any such proprietary items in the IZ Business, except to the extent that any such activities would not have a material adverse effect on the Purchased Assets or the IZ Business.

(b) Except for the Confidentiality Agreement, there are no written or oral contracts of employment between Seller and any Employee.

(c) Seller is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement covering any employee and Seller knows of no effort to organize any of its employees as a part of any collective bargaining unit. Seller's employees are not members of a trade union certified as a bargaining agent with the Seller and, to the best of Seller's knowledge, no proceedings to implement any such certifications are pending.

4.16 Employee Benefit and Compensation Plans. Buyer will incur no liability with respect to, or on account of, and Seller will retain any liability for, and on account of, any employee benefit plan of Seller, any of its Affiliates or any predecessor employer of any employee, including, but not limited to, liabilities Seller may have to such employees under all employee benefit schemes, incentive compensation plans, bonus plans, pension and retirement plans, profit-sharing plans (including any profit-sharing plan with a cash-or-deferred arrangement) share purchase and option plans, savings and similar plans, medical, dental, travel, accident, life, disability and other insurance and other plans or arrangements, whether written or oral and whether "qualified" or "non-qualified," or to any employee as a result of termination of employment by Seller as contemplated by this Agreement (including any liabilities under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act ("COBRA")). Seller has not, with respect to any employee, maintained or contributed to, or been obligated or required to contribute to, any retirement or pension plan or any employee benefit plan. The Seller has complied with all of its obligations (including obligations to make contributions) in respect of the retirement or pension funds of which its employees are beneficiaries, there is no outstanding liability of the Seller or any of its Affiliates to any such funds and all such funds are fully funded to meet all potential claims for benefits by any and all such employees and any former employee.

4.17 Taxes. All Taxes have been or will be paid by Seller which are due or properly accrued with respect to all periods (or portions thereof) prior to and including the Closing Date, and at the request of Buyer, Seller shall provide Buyer with proof of such payment. Seller and any other person required to file returns or reports of Taxes have duly and timely filed (or will file prior to the Closing Date) all returns and reports of Taxes required to be filed prior to such date, and all such returns and reports are true, correct, and complete. There are no liens for Taxes on any of the Purchased Assets. Seller has complied with all record keeping and tax reporting obligations relating to income and employment taxes due with respect to compensation paid to employees or independent contractors providing services to the IZ Business. Seller is not a "foreign person" within the meaning of Section 1445(f)(3) of the Code. There are no pending or, to Seller's knowledge, threatened proceedings with respect to Taxes, and there are no outstanding waivers or extensions of statutes of limitations with respect to assessments of Taxes. No agreement or arrangement regarding compensation of any employee providing services to the IZ Business provides for any payments which could result in a nondeductible expense to the Buyer pursuant to Section 280G of the Code or an excise tax to the recipient of such payment pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code.

There does not exist any default by Seller or by any other Person, or event that, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default under any agreement entered into by Seller as part of the operations of the IZ Business which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the IZ Business or the Purchased Assets, and no notices of breach thereof have been received by Seller.

4.22 Schedules. The schedules describing the Purchased Assets are complete and accurate and describe the assets in the possession of, or used by Seller in connection with the IZ Business.

Seller is not now insolvent and will not be rendered insolvent by the sale, transfer and assignment of the Purchased Assets pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Seller is not entering into this Agreement or any of the other agreements referenced in this Agreement with the intent to defraud, delay or hinder its creditors and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the other agreements referenced in this Agreement, will not have any such effect. The transactions contemplated in this Agreement or any agreements referenced in this Agreement will not constitute a fraudulent conveyance, or otherwise give rise to any right of any creditor of Seller to any of the Purchased Assets after the Closing.

6. Covenants.

6.1 Access to Information.

(a) Prior and subsequent to the Closing, Seller will permit Buyer to make a full and complete investigation of the Purchased Assets and to receive from Seller all information of Seller relating to the Purchased Assets or reasonably related to Seller's conduct of the IZ Business. Without limiting this right, Seller will give to Buyer and its accountants, legal counsel, and other representatives full access, during normal business hours, at a mutually agreeable location arranged in advance, to all of the books, records, files, documents, properties, and contracts of Seller relating to the Purchased Assets or reasonably related to Seller's conduct of the IZ Business and allow Buyer and any such representatives to make copies thereof, all of which shall be made available in an organized fashion and so as to facilitate an orderly review. This Section 6.1 shall not affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty contained herein or the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller shall maintain and make available the information and records specified in this Section 6.1(a) in the ordinary course of Seller's business and document retention policies, as if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement had not occurred.

(b) At all times following the Closing, each party shall provide the other party (at such other party's expense) with such reasonable assistance, including the provision of available relevant records or other information and reasonable access to and cooperation of any employees, as may be reasonably requested by either of them in connection with the preparation of any financial statement or tax return, any audit or examination by any taxing authority, or any judicial or administrative proceeding relating to liability for Taxes.

6.2 Third Party Consents. Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, within the applicable time periods required, all Required Consents, waivers, permits, consents and approvals and to effect all registrations, filings and notices with or to third parties or Governmental Entities which are necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to preserve all rights of, and benefits to, the Buyer in the Purchased Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an assignment of, or an attempt to assign to Buyer, any contract (or rights therein) or Governmental Entity authorization which, as a matter of law or by its terms, is (i) not assignable, or (ii) not assignable without the approval or consent of the issuer thereof or the other party or parties thereto, without first obtaining such approval or consent (collectively, "Non- Assignable Rights"). In connection with such Non-Assignable Rights, and without prejudice to the rights of Buyer elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller shall, at the request of Buyer:

(a) apply for and use all reasonable efforts to obtain all consents or approvals contemplated by the Purchased Assets (or rights therein) or Governmental Entity authorization, in a form satisfactory to Buyer acting reasonably;

(b) co-operate with Buyer in any reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide the benefits of such Non-Assignable Rights to Buyer, including holding any such Non-Assignable Rights in trust for Buyer or acting as agent for Buyer;

(c) enforce any rights of Seller arising from such Non- Assignable Rights against the issuer thereof or the other party or parties thereto;

(d) take all such actions and do, or cause to be done, all such things at the request of Buyer as shall reasonably be necessary and proper in order that the value of any Non-Assignable Rights shall be preserved and shall enure to the benefit of Buyer; and

(e) pay over to Buyer, all monies collected by or paid to Seller in respect of such Non-Assignable Rights.

If Seller is unable to lawfully provide the benefit of any Non-Assignable Right to Buyer, it shall not, at any time, use such Non-Assignable Right for its own purposes or assign or provide the benefit of such Non-Assignable Right to any other party.

6.3 Certain Notifications. At all times prior to the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall promptly notify the other party in writing of the occurrence of any event which will result, or has a reasonable prospect of resulting, in the failure to satisfy any of the conditions specified in Section 8 or Section 9 of this Agreement.

6.4 Best Efforts. The Seller shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts (i) to cause to be fulfilled and satisfied all of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 8 below, (ii) to cause to be performed all of the matters required of it at the Closing and (iii) to cause the Contracts to be assigned to Buyer.

6.5 Tax Returns. Seller shall, to the extent that failure to do so could adversely affect Buyer, the IZ Business or the Purchased Assets following Closing, (a) continue to file in a timely manner all returns and reports relating to Taxes, and such returns and reports shall be true, correct and complete and shall be subject to the review and consent of Buyer which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (b) be responsible for and pay when due any and all Taxes attributable to or imposed upon Seller or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, or attributable to or imposed upon the Purchased Assets for any period (or portion thereof) through and including the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any Taxes attributable to or arising from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event Buyer makes any payment in respect of such Taxes as a result of Seller's failure to pay such Taxes when due, there shall be a partial forgiveness of the Note as set forth in Section 2.6(b) above.

6.6 Post-Closing Access to Information. If, after the Closing Date, in order properly to operate the IZ Business or prepare documents or reports required to be filed with governmental authorities or Buyer's financial statements, it is necessary that Buyer obtain additional information within Seller's possession relating to the Purchased Assets or the IZ Business, Seller will furnish or cause its representatives to furnish such information to Buyer. Such information shall include, without limitation, all agreements between Seller and any Person relating to the IZ Business. Seller shall maintain and make available the information and records specified in this Section 6.6 for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date.

6.7 Post-Closing Cooperation. Seller agrees that, if reasonably requested by Buyer, it will cooperate with Buyer, at Buyer's expense, in enforcing the terms of any agreements between Seller and any third party involving the IZ Business, including without limitation terms relating to confidentiality and the protection of intellectual property rights. In the event that Buyer is unable to enforce its intellectual property rights against a third party as a result of a rule or law barring enforcement of such rights by a transferee of such rights, Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer by assigning to Buyer such rights as may be required by Buyer to enforce its intellectual property rights in its own name. If such assignment still does not permit Buyer to enforce its intellectual property rights against the third party, Seller agrees to initiate proceedings against such third party in Seller's name, provided that Buyer shall be entitled to participate in such proceedings and provided further that Buyer shall be responsible for the expenses of such proceedings.

6.8 No Post-Closing Retention of Copies. Immediately after the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer or destroy copies of Purchased Assets in Seller's possession that are in addition to copies delivered to Buyer as part of the Closing, whether such copies are in paper form, on computer media or stored in another form; provided, however, that Seller may retain and use copies of financial books and records relating to the IZ Business as well as other documents required by law to be kept by Seller for the sole purpose of preparing its financial statements and other reports required by applicable law. The Seller shall not be permitted to use the financial books and records of the IZ Business for any other reason.

6.9 Public Announcements. On and prior to the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall advise and confer with each other prior to the issuance of any reports, statements or releases concerning this Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules hereto) and the transactions contemplated herein. Neither Buyer nor Seller will make any public disclosure prior to the Closing or with respect to the Closing unless both parties agree on the text and timing of such public disclosure; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent either party at any time from furnishing any information to any Governmental Entity. Immediately after this Agreement is signed, both parties will make public announcements to their respective share exchanges; the text of such public announcements will be reviewed by the parties prior to release.

6.10 Post-Closing Actions. Subsequent to the Closing Date, Seller shall, from time to time, execute and deliver, upon the request of Buyer, all such other and further materials and documents and instruments of conveyance, transfer or assignment as may reasonably be requested by Buyer to effect, record or verify the transfer to, and vesting in Buyer, of Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets, free and clear of all Liens, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

6.11 Financial Statements. In the event Buyer is required by the rules and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to produce any financial statements covering a period or periods prior to the Closing Date, then Seller at Buyer's expense shall assist Buyer in the preparation thereof as reasonably requested by Buyer.

6.12 Permits. Seller will assist Buyer in obtaining any licenses, permits or authorizations required for carrying on the IZ Business but which are not transferable.

6.13 Taxes. Seller shall be responsible for paying, shall promptly discharge when due, and shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from, any sales or use, transfer, real property gains, excise, stamp, or other similar Taxes arising from, imposed on or attributable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any other Taxes which are due or properly accrued with respect to all periods (or portions thereof) prior to and including the Closing Date, and at the request of Buyer, Seller shall provide Buyer with proof of such payment.

7. Employee Matters

7.1 Transferred Employees.

(a) Offer of Employment. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7, Buyer may offer employment to any or all of the employees who are employed by Seller in the IZ Business as of the date of this Agreement (the "Employees"). Seller agrees that it will cooperate with Buyer to identify those employees of Seller who are necessary for the conduct the IZ Business. Prior to the Closing, Buyer, after notice to Seller as to the timing and method of contact, shall have the right to contact any or all of the Employees for the purposes of making offers of employment with Buyer (or any Affiliate designated by Buyer) after the Closing Date and receiving written acceptances of such employment (in each case contingent on consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Upon Closing, Buyer (or any Affiliates designated by Buyer) shall hire those Employees to whom it has made an offer in accordance with this Section 7.1 and who accept such offer in the manner and within the time frame reasonably established by Buyer. Each such Employee who is employed by Seller on the Closing Date and who actually transfers to employment with Buyer (or any Affiliate designated by Buyer) at or after the Closing Date as a result of an offer of employment made by Buyer is hereafter referred to as a "Transferred Employee." Transferred Employees shall not include any person on a disability leave of more than twenty-six (26) weeks. On a periodic basis following the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing, Buyer shall advise Seller of its intentions with respect to the employees it desires to extend or has extended offers to and the general status of discussions with such employees. Buyer hereby notifies Seller of Buyer's intent to offer employment to all Employees set forth on Schedule 7.1(a) on terms and conditions substantially equivalent to, or greater than, such Employees' current terms and conditions of employment. Notwithstanding such periodic disclosures made to Seller, Buyer shall not be obligated to hire any employee unless an offer of employment is subsequently made to, and accepted by, such employee; in addition, Buyer shall have no obligation to hire any employees of Seller after the Closing Date.

(b) Transition. Seller hereby agrees that it will not terminate the employment of any Employee prior to the Closing; provided, however, that Seller will terminate the employment of Ronald Dan Berst and Philip Bane immediately prior to the Closing. The employment by Seller of the Transferred Employees shall end at the close of business on the Closing Date and the employment of the Transferred Employees by Buyer shall commence at 12:01 a.m. on the day after the Closing Date. The terms of employment with Buyer (or Buyer's Affiliates) shall be as mutually agreed to between each Transferred Employee and Buyer (or Buyer's Affiliate, as the case may be), subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller will provide each Transferred Employee with the same level of compensation as that currently provided by Seller. Buyer shall have no obligation with respect to payments of salary, compensation, wages, health or similar benefits, commissions, bonuses (deferred or otherwise), severance (including any severance pay owed to Ronald Dan Berst and Philip Howard Bane), stock or stock options or any other sums due to any Transferred Employee that accrued as of or before the Closing Date. Other than as listed on Schedule 7.1(b), Seller will be fully responsible for all amounts payable to any employee who is not a Transferred Employee, including (without limitation) all termination payments, redundancy compensation, severance pay, accrued vacation pay and other amounts payable in respect of the termination of employment of any employee in connection with the sale of the Purchased Assets to the Buyer. In addition, Seller will be fully responsible for all amounts owing to Transferred Employees prior to Closing.

(c) Retention of Employees Prior to Closing. Seller agrees to use reasonable efforts to retain the Employees as employees of the IZ Business until the Closing Date, and to assist Buyer in securing the employment after the Closing Date of those Employees to whom Buyer (or designated by Buyer) makes or intends to make offers of employment under subsection (a) above. Seller shall not transfer any Employee to employment with Seller outside of the IZ Business prior to the Closing or without the consent of Buyer. Seller shall notify Buyer promptly if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Employee terminates employment with Seller after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Closing. Buyer may request Seller to hire additional employees for the IZ Business, in which case Seller will use commercial reasonable efforts to identify and hire such employees.

7.2 Compensation and Benefits of Transferred Employees. Coverage for Transferred Employees under Buyer's compensation and benefit plans and other programs shall commence as of 12:01 a.m. on the day after the Closing Date. Buyer shall be free to establish its own employee benefit plans; Buyer shall have no obligation to offer benefit plans of the same type or with terms similar to or better than the terms of Seller's current employee benefit plans. Buyer may, at its option, give each Transferred Employee credit for such Transferred Employee's years of most recent continuous service with Seller for purposes of determining participation and benefit levels under all of Buyer's vacation policies and benefit plans and programs.

7.3 Other Employees of the IZ Business. With respect to each employee of the IZ Business as of the Closing Date who is not a Transferred Employee (each a "Non-Transferred Employee"), Seller agrees to either terminate such Non-Transferred Employee's employment with Seller, effective prior to the Closing or offer such Non-Transferred Employee continued employment with Seller other than in the IZ Business. Seller further acknowledges that the Non-Transferred Employees shall not be employees of Buyer after the Closing.

7.4 No Right to Continued Employment or Benefits. No provision in this Agreement shall create any third party beneficiary or other right in any Person (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) for any reason, including, without limitation, in respect of continued, resumed or new employment with Seller or Buyer (or any Affiliate of Seller or Buyer) or in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any plan or arrangement maintained by Seller, Buyer or any Affiliate of Seller or Buyer.

Seller or Buyer, as applicable, shall have thirty (30) days to object in writing to any claim or claims made in such Officer's Certificate pursuant to Section 10.5 below.

In the event such other party has consented in writing to any such settlement, such other party shall have no power or authority to object under any provision hereof to the amount of any claim by consistent with such settlement.

10.7 Exclusive Contractual Remedy.

Contingent Liabilities

The Kenwood Restaurant opened in December 1996 under the name Hotel Discovery and was closed by the Company in August 1999.

The property is approximately 17,000 square feet in size on three levels and is located at the northeast corner of Sycamore Plaza at Kenwood Shopping Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. Although the third party has paid all payments due under the lease since November 1999, the Company remains primarily obligated under the lease.

The initial term of the lease is 15 years with an option for two additional five-year periods. The lease provides for the payment of both a monthly fixed minimum rent and a percentage rent based on gross sales in excess of an escalating base amount. The monthly fixed minimum rent is $12,833 for the first five years of the initial lease term, $14,117 for the sixth through tenth years of the initial lease term, $15,400 for the eleventh through fifteenth years of the initial lease term.

In addition to the fixed minimum rent, the lease provides for the payment of a percentage rent equal to 4% of the gross sales from the restaurant in excess of the following annual gross sales amounts; $3,850,000 for the first five years of the initial lease term, $4,235,000 for the sixth through tenth years of the initial lease term, $4,620,000 for the eleventh through fifteenth years of the initial lease term. No percentage rent was paid in 1998 or 1999. In addition to the fixed minimum rent and percentage rent, the Company is required to pay its proportionate share of common area maintenance costs; taxes, insurance, maintenance and operating costs.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

WITH COGNOVIT PROVISION

Irving, Texas

$70,000.00 February 8, 2001

THIS CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE (the "Note") is one of a duly authorized issue of Convertible Promissory Notes of PopMail.com., inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Minnesota (the "Company"), designated as its 12% Convertible Promissory Notes Due January 5, 2002, in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding U.S. $4,000,000 (the "Notes").

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to GSI Ventures, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company ("Holder"), in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of Seventy Thousand Dollars ($70,000.00), together with interest in arrears on the unpaid principal balance at a rate equal to Twelve Percent (12%) per annum, in the manner provided below. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and accrued on a daily basis for the actual number of days elapsed from the date hereof on the principal balance from time to time outstanding as hereinafter provided.

1. Payments.

1.1 Principal and Interest. Accrued interest under this Note shall be due and payable in quarterly installments on February 1, 2001, May 1, 2001, August 1, 2001 and November 1, 2001 and the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full on January 5, 2002 (the "Maturity Date"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon Holder's consent, which shall be made in its sole and absolute discretion, Company may pay any portion of the quarterly installments of accrued interest payable hereunder with shares of Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"). The value of the Common Stock used to pay any such quarterly installments of accrued interest shall be determined by the closing sale price of the Common Stock as reported by Nasdaq on the preceding trading day before the quarterly installment is paid.

1.2 Manner of Payment. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal and interest on this Note shall be made in immediately available funds. If any payment of principal or interest on this Note is due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall not be taken into account in calculating the amount of interest payable under this Note. "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the State of Ohio.

1.3 Prepayment. The Company may, without premium or penalty, at any time and from time to time, prepay all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance due under this Note, provided that each such prepayment is accompanied by the accrued interest on the amount of principal prepaid calculated to the date of such prepayment. The Company shall provide Holder with not less than fifteen (15) days written notice prior to such prepayment. In the event a transaction described in Section 4.3 hereof is contemplated prior to or contemporaneous with prepayment, said written notice shall include the information specified in the notice made pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof.

1.4 Default Interest. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below), this Note shall accrue interest at a default rate of interest equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under Ohio Law.

2. Default.

2.1 Event of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events with respect to Company shall, upon 30 days' written notice to the Company, constitute an event of default hereunder ("Event of Default") provided that, the events set forth in Sections 2.1(a), 2.1(b), 2.1(c) and 2.1(d) shall constitute an Event of Default immediately upon their occurrence and Lender shall not be required to provide the 30 days written notice for any such event:

(a) If Company shall fail to pay when due any payment of principal or interest or other amount due on this Note.

(b) If, pursuant to or within the meaning of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state law relating to insolvency or relief of debtors (a "Bankruptcy Law"), the Company shall (i) commence a voluntary case or proceeding; (ii) consent to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case; (iii) consent to the appointment of a trustee, receiver, assignee, liquidator or similar official; (iv) make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (v) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due.

    1. If a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that (i) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case, (ii) appoints a trustee, receiver, assignee, liquidator or similar official for the Company or substantially all of the Company=s properties, or (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company, and in each case the order or decree is not dismissed within 30 days.

(d) If an event of default occurs as defined in that certain Loan Agreement executed on or about December 1, 2000 by and between the Company, Holder, the Company's subsidiaries and SDK Investments, Inc., and as amended on December 8, 2000 (the "Loan Agreement") or an event of default occurs as defined in any of the Loan Documents, regardless of whether or not such event of default is caused by Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates who are a party to the Loan Agreement or the Loan Documents.

(e) A breach of any obligation or covenant of Company set forth in this Note.

    1. Any representation or warranty made in writing to Holder by Company made in this Note or in connection with the making of the Loan shall prove at any time to have been incorrect or materially misleading when made.

    1. Notice by the Company. The Company shall notify Holder in writing within five days after the occurrence of any Event of Default of which the Company acquires knowledge.
    2. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder as above provided, and at any time thereafter, all principal, interest and other amounts payable under this Note shall, at the option of Holder, become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Company. Holder may proceed with every remedy available at law or in equity or provided for in the Loan Documents or in any other document executed in connection with the Loan, in such order or sequence as Holder may determine in its sole discretion, including concurrently, independently, or successively, and all expenses incurred by Holder in connection with any remedy shall be deemed indebtedness of Company to Holder including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Holder.

3. Conversion.

    1. Holder Conversion.

    1. The Holder shall have the right, at the Holder's option, at any time prior to payment in full of the principal balance of this Note, to convert this Note, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2 hereof, in whole or in part, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (the "Common Stock") of the Company. The number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note may be converted ("Conversion Shares") shall be determined by dividing: [A] the sum of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Note to be converted, (ii) all accrued interest thereon to the date of conversion, and (iii) all other indebtedness Company owes Holder under this Note, by [B] the amount equal to 140% of the "Market Price" of the Common Stock (the "Conversion Price").

(b) Notwithstanding Section 3.1(a), in the event that Company has paid any amount it owes to Holder pursuant to this Note ("Partial Payment"), then from the date of the Partial Payment for a period of 90 days, Holder shall have the right to purchase at a strike price equal to the Conversion Price (the "Purchase Price") a certain number of shares of the Common Stock (the "Purchase Right"). The number of shares of Common Stock that Holder may purchase shall be determined by dividing the Partial Payment by the Conversion Price. For purposes of this Note, any shares of Common Stock that Holder purchases pursuant to its Purchase Right shall be considered Conversion Shares. The Purchase Right may be exercised by Holder, in whole or in part, by written notice to the Company, together with payment by Holder to the Company of the Purchase Price in immediately available funds.

3.2 Conversion Procedure.

(a) Notice of Conversion and Purchase Right Pursuant to Section 3.1. Before the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock, it shall surrender this Note at the office of the Company and shall give written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Holder Conversion Notice") to the Company at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert all or a portion of this Note pursuant to Section 3.1(a). If this Note is converted in part only, the Company shall execute and deliver a new note to the Holder thereof in the principal amount equal to the portion of this Note not so converted. Before the Holder may exercise its Purchase Right, it shall give written notice to the Company at its principal corporate office, of its exercise of its Purchase Right pursuant to Section 3.1(b) prior to the expiration of the 90-day period the Purchase Right is available.

    1. Mechanics and Effect of Conversion.  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note or exercise of the Purchase Right. Upon the conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 3.1(a) above, the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the principal office of the Company. At its expense, the Company shall, as soon as practicable after receiving the Holder Conversion Notice or notice of Holder's exercise of its Purchase Right, issue and deliver to such Holder at such principal office a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion or purchase (bearing such legends as are required by the Loan Agreement or applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of counsel to the Company), together with a new note for the principal amount of the Note that was not converted, if any. Upon conversion of all or a portion of this Note, the Company shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note, to the extent of the principal amount so converted.

3.3 Limitations on Conversion. Unless the Company shall have obtained the approval of its voting shareholders to such issuance in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq or any other stock market rules with which the Company shall be required to comply, but only to the extent required thereby, the Company shall not issue shares of its Common Stock (i) upon conversion of any of the principal sum outstanding hereunder, or (ii) as interest on the principal sum due hereunder, if such issuance of Common Stock, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock previously issued by the Company (x) upon conversion of the principal sum due under the Notes and (y) in payment of interest due under the Notes, would equal or exceed 20 percent of the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock that were issued and outstanding on the date hereof (the "Maximum Issuance Amount"). In the event that a properly executed Holder Conversion Notice is received by the Company which would require the Company to issue shares of Common Stock equal to or in excess of the Maximum Issuance Amount, the Company shall honor such conversion request by (a) converting the amount of the principal and interest stated in such conversion notice that is not in excess of the Maximum Issuance Amount and (b) paying the remaining principal and interest due requested by Holder to be converted; provided that, Company shall first use its best efforts to obtain as soon as practicable after obtaining a Holder Conversion Notice the approval of its voting shareholders to issue Conversion Shares in excess of the Maximum Issuance Amount.

    1. Limitations on Issuance of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Holder be permitted to receive Conversion Shares upon exercising its conversion rights or Common Stock as payment for accrued interest on this Note (collectively referred to as "Conversion Rights") to the extent that (x) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder (other than shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Holder's Conversion Rights) plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Holder's Conversion Rights, would be equal to or exceed 4.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding, including shares issuable upon exercise of the Holder's Conversion Rights after application of this Section 3.4. As used herein, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 3.4 applies, the determination of whether Holder may exercise its Conversion Rights (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder) and of which a portion of the Conversion Rights are exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Holder Conversion Notice (or written notice in the case of payment of accrued interest in shares of Common Stock) shall be deemed to be the Holder's determination of whether the Conversion Rights are exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder) and of which portion of the Conversion Rights are exercisable, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of the Holder to exercise its Conversion Rights at such time as such exercise will not violate the provisions of this Section 3.4. The provisions of this Section 3.4 may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, 61 days' prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of this Section 3.4 shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date as may be specified in such notice of waiver). No exercise of the Conversion Rights in violation of this Section 3.4 but otherwise in accordance with this Note shall affect the status of the Common Stock issued upon such exercise as validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable.

4. Anti-Dilution Adjustments.

4.1 Adjustments for Stock Splits and Subdivisions. In the event the Company should at any time or from time to time after the date of issuance hereof fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as "Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of this Note shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares.

4.2 Adjustments for Reverse Stock Splits. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock through a reverse stock split, then, following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price for this Note shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of this Note shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

4.3 Adjust for Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger and Sale. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders of the Company's Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for such common shares, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, the Holder shall have the right to convert and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Note and in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore convertible and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby, such shares of stock, other securities or assets as would have been issued or delivered to the Holder as if it had exercised this Note and had received such shares of common stock prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed to the registered Holder of this Note at the last address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to convert.

4.4 Other Adjustment. If the Company takes any other action, or if any other event occurs which does not come within the scope of the provisions of Sections 4.1 through 4.3, but which should result in an adjustment in the Conversion Price and/or the number of shares subject to this Note in order to fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder, an appropriate adjustment in such purchase rights shall be made by the Company.

4.5 Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the issuance of the Conversion Shares such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to issue the Conversion Shares; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the issuance of the Conversion Shares, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of this Note, the Company will use its best efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of Holder's counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

5. Miscellaneous.

5.1 Waiver. The rights and remedies of Holder under this Note shall be cumulative and not alternative. No waiver by Holder of any right or remedy under this Note shall be effective unless in a writing signed by Holder. Neither the failure nor any delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Note will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege by Holder will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by nonwaivable applicable law, (a) no claim or right of Holder arising out of this Note can be discharged by Holder, in whole or in part by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in a writing, signed by Holder; (b) no waiver that may be given by Holder will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on the Company will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of the Company or of the right of Holder to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Note. The Company hereby waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor and protest.

5.2 Notices. The Company shall give any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder to the Holder or the Holder to the Company in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

5.3 Severability. If any court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision in this Note invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Note will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Note held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

5.4 Governing Law. This Note will be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

5.5 Parties in Interest; Assignment. This Note shall bind the Company and its successors and assigns. Subject to the provisions of the legend on this Note, the Holder may assign this Note upon providing Company notice of such assignment.

THE UNDERSIGNED AND HOLDER (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) HEREBY VOLUNTARILY, KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT TORT OR OTHERWISE) BETWEEN OR AMONG THE UNDERSIGNED AND HOLDER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS DOCUMENT, ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT, OR ANY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HOLDER AND THE UNDERSIGNED. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO HOLDER TO PROVIDE THE FINANCING DESCRIBED HEREIN OR IN THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender that the following are true and correct as of the date hereof and shall be true and correct as of the date of the Closing and shall remain true and correct during the term of all of the Loan Documents (as defined below):

All subsidiaries and affiliates of the Borrower are listed on Item 3.1 of the Disclosure Schedule. The term "affiliate" shall have the meaning ascribed thereto under Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

3.7 All balance sheets, income statements, financial statements, operating statements and other financial data pertaining to Borrower or its subsidiaries or affiliates (the "Financial Information") that have been delivered (or will be delivered) to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower are or will be accurate and complete in all material respects, are or will be in accordance with the books and records of Borrower and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and accurately present or will present the financial condition, results of operations and changes in financial position of the person or entity to which they pertain as of their respective dates and there has been no material change with respect thereto. All Financial Information delivered to Lender is and shall be prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.

3.8 None of the Borrower's reports and documents heretofore filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, contained at the time they were filed any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

3.9 The Borrower and its subsidiaries and affiliates own and possess adequate and enforceable rights to use all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, trade names, service marks, logos, copyrights, copyright applications, licenses, inventions, software, programs, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures) and other similar rights and proprietary knowledge (collectively, "Intangibles") necessary for the conduct of their respective businesses.

As of the date of this Agreement, the aggregate present value of all accrued benefit liabilities (as defined in Section 4001(a)(6) of ERISA) of all Plans which were single-employer plans did not exceed the aggregate current value of all assets of such Plans based upon estimated actuarial data that has been provided to the Borrower by the consulting actuaries of the Plans, and as of the date of this Agreement, there was no withdrawal liability (and would be no withdrawal liability assuming a complete withdrawal from all such Plans) to any Plan which is a multi employer plan.

    1. All of the subsidiaries and affiliates of Borrower are wholly owned by Borrower.

3.21 The security interest and leasehold mortgage in favor of the Borrower on the real and personal property located at Kenwood Mall, Cincinnati, Ohio, is a first and best lien on such personal property and leasehold and Borrower has not and will not allow any Encumbrances on such property to be superior to Borrower's mortgage and security interest.

    Litigation

    The Company entered into a bridge loan transaction on or about October 6, 2000, in which it issued a promissory note in favor of Great Western Business Services in the principal amount of $600,000. The note was payable in 30 days and was secured by certain computer equipment owned by the Company. Additionally, the lender obtained a "contingent" security interest in the Company's units of Cafe Odyssey, LLC, which vested upon an event of default thereunder. The Company has failed to repay the note and the lender has recently given the Company notice of such default. Additionally, the lender has informed the Company that it intends to retrieve the collateral as soon as is practicable. The lender has not given any notice or otherwise communicated to the Company its intentions with respect to its interest in the Cafe Odyssey units. Cafe Odyssey, LLC currently has no assets.

    On September 13, 2000, the Company received a Nasdaq Staff Determination which indicates that the Company fails to comply with its common stock maintaining a minimum bid price of $1.00 over the previous 30 consecutive trading days as required by Marketplace Rule 4310 (c)(4). Therefore, in accordance with Marketplace Rule 4310 (c)(8)(B), PopMail.com was provided 90 calendar days, or until December 12, 2000 to regain compliance with the Rule for continued listing. There can be no assurances the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing. The Company has requested a hearing with Nasdaq to appeal its determination to delist the Company's common stock, which is scheduled for January 11, 2001.

    On August 9, 2000, a lawsuit was filed against Fan Asylum, Inc. and Tim McQuaid relating to an automobile accident. The plaintiff in the action seeks damages in excess of $25,000. The Company has no other information concerning this matter at the present time.

Contingent Liabilities

The Kenwood Restaurant opened in December 1996 under the name Hotel Discovery and was closed by the Company in August 1999. In November 1999, the Company assigned the related lease (described below) in connection with the pending sale of restaurant assets to a third party, who subsequently reopened the restaurant under another name and continues to operate the same. The property is approximately 17,000 square feet in size on three levels and is located at the northeast corner of Sycamore Plaza at Kenwood Shopping Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. Although the third party has paid all payments due under the lease since November 1999, the Company remains primarily obligated under the lease.

The initial term of the lease is 15 years with an option for two additional five-year periods. The lease provides for the payment of both a monthly fixed minimum rent and a percentage rent based on gross sales in excess of an escalating base amount. The monthly fixed minimum rent is $12,833 for the first five years of the initial lease term, $14,117 for the sixth through tenth years of the initial lease term, $15,400 for the eleventh through fifteenth years of the initial lease term.

In addition to the fixed minimum rent, the lease provides for the payment of a percentage rent equal to 4% of the gross sales from the restaurant in excess of the following annual gross sales amounts; $3,850,000 for the first five years of the initial lease term, $4,235,000 for the sixth through tenth years of the initial lease term, $4,620,000 for the eleventh through fifteenth years of the initial lease term. No percentage rent was paid in 1998 or 1999. In addition to the fixed minimum rent and percentage rent, the Company is required to pay its proportionate share of common area maintenance costs; taxes, insurance, maintenance and operating costs.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 3.1(a), in the event that Company has paid any amount it owes to Holder pursuant to this Note ("Partial Payment"), then from the date of the Partial Payment for a period of 90 days, Holder shall have the right to purchase at a strike price equal to the Conversion Price (the "Purchase Price") a certain number of shares of the Common Stock (the "Purchase Right"). The number of shares of Common Stock that Holder may purchase shall be determined by dividing the Partial Payment by the Conversion Price. For purposes of this Note, any shares of Common Stock that Holder purchases pursuant to its Purchase Right shall be considered Conversion Shares. The Purchase Right may be exercised by Holder, in whole or in part, by written notice to the Company, together with payment by Holder to the Company of the Purchase Price in immediately available funds.

3.2 Conversion Procedure.

(a) Notice of Conversion and Purchase Right Pursuant to Section 3.1. Before the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock, it shall surrender this Note at the office of the Company and shall give written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Holder Conversion Notice") to the Company at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert all or a portion of this Note pursuant to Section 3.1(a). If this Note is converted in part only, the Company shall execute and deliver a new note to the Holder thereof in the principal amount equal to the portion of this Note not so converted. Before the Holder may exercise its Purchase Right, it shall give written notice to the Company at its principal corporate office, of its exercise of its Purchase Right pursuant to Section 3.1(b) prior to the expiration of the 90-day period the Purchase Right is available.

    1. Mechanics and Effect of Conversion.  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note or exercise of the Purchase Right. Upon the conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 3.1(a) above, the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the principal office of the Company. At its expense, the Company shall, as soon as practicable after receiving the Holder Conversion Notice or notice of Holder's exercise of its Purchase Right, issue and deliver to such Holder at such principal office a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion or purchase (bearing such legends as are required by the Loan Agreement or applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of counsel to the Company), together with a new note for the principal amount of the Note that was not converted, if any. Upon conversion of all or a portion of this Note, the Company shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note, to the extent of the principal amount so converted.
    2. Market Price. The term "Market Price" shall mean the lower of (i) the lowest trade of the Company's Common Stock as reported by Nasdaq or (ii) the lowest price for which the Company sells a share of Common Stock, each determined during the period commencing thirty (30) days prior to the date of the Closing and ending thirty (30) days after the date of the Closing.

3.3 Limitations on Conversion. Unless the Company shall have obtained the approval of its voting shareholders to such issuance in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq or any other stock market rules with which the Company shall be required to comply, but only to the extent required thereby, the Company shall not issue shares of its Common Stock (i) upon conversion of any of the principal sum outstanding hereunder, or (ii) as interest on the principal sum due hereunder, if such issuance of Common Stock, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock previously issued by the Company (x) upon conversion of the principal sum due under the Note and (y) in payment of interest due under the Note, would equal or exceed 20 percent of the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock that were issued and outstanding on the date hereof (the "Maximum Issuance Amount"). In the event that a properly executed Holder Conversion Notice is received by the Company which would require the Company to issue shares of Common Stock equal to or in excess of the Maximum Issuance Amount, the Company shall honor such conversion request by (a) converting the amount of the principal and interest stated in such conversion notice that is not in excess of the Maximum Issuance Amount and (b) paying the remaining principal and interest due requested by Holder to be converted; provided that, Company shall first use its best efforts to obtain as soon as practicable after obtaining a Holder Conversion Notice the approval of its voting shareholders to issue Conversion Shares in excess of the Maximum Issuance Amount.

4. Anti-Dilution Adjustments.

4.1 Adjustments for Stock Splits and Subdivisions. In the event the Company should at any time or from time to time after the date of issuance hereof fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as "Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of this Note shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares.

4.2 Adjustments for Reverse Stock Splits. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock through a reverse stock split, then, following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price for this Note shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of this Note shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

4.3 Adjust for Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger and Sale. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders of the Company's Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for such common shares, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, the Holder shall have the right to convert and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Note and in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore convertible and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby, such shares of stock, other securities or assets as would have been issued or delivered to the Holder as if it had exercised this Note and had received such shares of common stock prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed to the registered Holder of this Note at the last address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to convert.

4.4 Other Adjustment. If the Company takes any other action, or if any other event occurs which does not come within the scope of the provisions of Sections 4.1 through 4.3, but which should result in an adjustment in the Conversion Price and/or the number of shares subject to this Note in order to fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder, an appropriate adjustment in such purchase rights shall be made by the Company.

4.5 Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the issuance of the Conversion Shares such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to issue the Conversion Shares; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the issuance of the Conversion Shares, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of this Note, the Company will use its best efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of Holder's counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

5. Miscellaneous.

5.1 Waiver. The rights and remedies of Holder under this Note shall be cumulative and not alternative. No waiver by Holder of any right or remedy under this Note shall be effective unless in a writing signed by Holder. Neither the failure nor any delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Note will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege by Holder will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by nonwaivable applicable law, (a) no claim or right of Holder arising out of this Note can be discharged by Holder, in whole or in part by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in a writing, signed by Holder; (b) no waiver that may be given by Holder will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on the Company will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of the Company or of the right of Holder to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Note. The Company hereby waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor and protest.

5.2 Notices. The Company shall give any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder to the Holder or the Holder to the Company in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

5.3 Severability. If any court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision in this Note invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Note will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Note held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

5.5 Parties in Interest; Assignment. This Note shall bind the Company and its successors and assigns. Subject to the provisions of the legend on this Note, the Holder may assign this Note upon providing Company notice of such assignment.

Unless otherwise expressly provided, the words "hereof" and "hereunder" and similar references refer to this Note in its entirety and not to any specific section or subsection hereof.

5.9 JURY WAIVER. THE UNDERSIGNED AND HOLDER (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) HEREBY VOLUNTARILY, KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT TORT OR OTHERWISE) BETWEEN OR AMONG THE UNDERSIGNED AND HOLDER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS DOCUMENT, ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT, OR ANY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HOLDER AND THE UNDERSIGNED. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO HOLDER TO PROVIDE THE FINANCING DESCRIBED HEREIN OR IN THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

5.10 Jurisdiction. Company, by its execution hereof (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of New York and to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Note, the Loan Agreement or any Loan Document or the subject matter hereof or thereof brought by Holder or its successors or assigns, and (ii) agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such proceeding, any claim that Company is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that Company's property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such proceeding brought in one of the above-named courts is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of any such proceeding brought in one of the above-named courts in improper, or that this Note, the Loan Agreement or any Loan Document, or the subject matter hereof or thereof, may not be enforced in or by such court.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the holder be permitted to exercise this Warrant for shares of Common Stock to the extent that (x) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder (other than shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, would be equal to or exceed 4.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding, including shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant held by such holder after application of this Section ___. As used herein, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, which are hereby incorporated herein as if fully set forth below, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     

    1. Subordination and Intercreditor Provisions.

    1.1 Subordination. Subject to Section 1.3 of this Intercreditor Agreement, each of the Subordinate Lenders agree that each Subordinate Lender's right to receive scheduled payments of principal and/or interest under their respective Loan Documents shall be subordinate and junior to Fairview's right to receive scheduled payments of principal and/or interest under the Fairview Loan Documents until such time as the Fairview Debt is repaid in full.

    1.2 Insolvency, Etc.

    (a) Subject to Section 1.3 of this Intercreditor Agreement, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings (collectively, "Bankruptcy Proceedings") relative to the Borrower or to the Collateral, or in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Borrower, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, Fairview shall be entitled in any such proceedings to receive payment from the sale or other distribution of the Collateral on account of the Fairview Debt before the Subordinate Lenders are entitled in any such proceedings to receive any payment on account of the Subordinate Debt from the sale or other distribution of the Collateral, and to that end in any such proceedings any payment or distribution of any kind or character of the Collateral, whether in cash or in other property, to which the Subordinate Lenders would be entitled but for the provisions hereof, shall be delivered to Fairview to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all Fairview Debt remaining unpaid.

    (b) The Subordinate Lenders at the request of Fairview shall in any proceedings described in Section 00, in the name of Fairview, file claims, proofs of claims and other instruments of similar character necessary to enforce the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Subordinate Debt. In the event that any Subordinate Lender shall fail to take such action within five business days upon request by Fairview, Fairview may, on behalf of such Subordinate Lender, demand, sue for, collect and receive any and all such monies or other assets and give acquittance therefor, file any claim, proof of claim or other instrument of similar character, and take such other action (in its own name or in the name of such Subordinate Lender) as Fairview may reasonably deem necessary or advisable for enforcement of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Subordinate Debt; provided that, Fairview shall have no right to take any action in the name of any Subordinate Lender related to the Other Collateral.

    1.3 Other Collateral; Conversion Rights.

    (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Intercreditor Agreement, nothing in this Intercreditor Agreement shall impair the rights of the Subordinate Lenders to take any and all action to enforce their respective rights in, or receive payments or distributions on account of a sale or other disposition of the Other Collateral; provided, however, the Subordinate Lenders shall not take any action to enforce their respective rights in the Other Collateral that would have a material adverse effect on the Collateral; provided further, that any actions taken by a Subordinate Lender to enforce its rights on Other Collateral that is not owned or in the possession of the holder of the Collateral shall be deemed to not cause a material adverse effect on the Collateral.

    (b) In the event of any Bankruptcy Proceedings relative to the Borrower or the Other Collateral, or in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Borrower, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, GSI and Shaar shall be entitled in any such proceedings to receive payment, on a pro rata basis from the sale or other distribution of the Other Collateral on account of GSI Debt and Shaar Debt before Fairview and GWBS are entitled in any such proceedings to receive any payment on account of the Fairview Debt and GWBS Debt from the sale or other distribution of the Other Collateral, and to that end in any such proceedings any payment or distribution of any kind or character of the Other Collateral, whether in cash or in other property, to which Fairview or GWBS would be entitled but for the provisions hereof, shall be delivered to GSI and Shaar to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all GSI Debt and Shaar Debt remaining unpaid.

    (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Intercreditor Agreement, the Subordinate Lenders are permitted at any time to exercise their rights to convert any of the Subordinate Debt into the common stock of Borrower or accept any prepayments or payments on the Subordinate Debt that are made with the Borrower's common stock or other equity securities of Borrower.

     

    2. Security Interests; Priority.

    2.1 Notwithstanding any conflicting terms or conditions which may be contained in any of the Loan Documents, the time of filing or renewal of any financing statement, the time of attachment of any security interest or any other priority provided by law: (a) the security interests upon the Collateral evidenced by the Fairview Loan Documents shall have priority over all other security interests upon the Collateral evidenced by the Loan Documents; (b) the security interests upon the Collateral of GWBS evidenced by the GWBS Loan Documents shall have priority over all other security interests upon the Collateral evidenced by the Loan Documents, except those evidenced by the Fairview Loan Documents; and (c) the security interests upon the Collateral of GSI and Shaar shall be subordinate to all security interests evidenced by the Fairview Loan Documents and GWBS Loan Documents and shall be pari passu with respect to each other as evidenced by that certain Intercreditor Agreement between GSI and Shaar dated December 21, 2000 (the "GSI/Shaar Intercreditor Agreement"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Intercreditor Agreement shall not affect the rights and obligations between Shaar and GSI as set forth in the GSI/Shaar Intercreditor Agreement.

    2.2 Each Lender shall be solely responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of its security interests in and to each item constituting the Collateral in which such Lender has been granted a security interest. The provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective lien priorities as between the Lenders and, except as set forth herein, shall not impose on any Lender any obligations in respect of the disposition of proceeds of foreclosure on any Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other person or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the relative priority arrangements set forth in this Intercreditor Agreement are expressly conditioned on the non-avoidability and perfection of the security interests and/or liens evidenced by the Loan Documents and if the security interests and/or liens evidenced by the Loan Documents are not perfected or are voidable for any reason, then such relative priority arrangements set forth herein shall not be effective to the extent of any such avoidability or non-perfection; provided, however, that this condition shall be null and void and of no effect if at any time any Lender shall directly or indirectly take any action to contest or challenge the validity, legality, enforceability, perfection, priority or avoidability of any other Lender's loans or documents or any of the security interests and/or liens of any other Lender in any of the Collateral or if such action is taken by SDKAD or SDKINGDM while Fairview is the manager of either such entity.

    2.3 The lien priorities provided in this Section 0 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, renewal, restatement or refinancing of any indebtedness evidenced by any of the Loan Documents. The respective rights and priorities of each Lender in any assets of the Borrower not specified herein shall not be affected in any way by this Intercreditor Agreement.

    3. Default Under the Loan Documents.

    3.1 In the event that Borrower shall cause or permit to occur an event of default under any of the Loan Documents, such Lender that is a party to any such Loan Document (a "Notifying Lender") will, upon becoming aware of the existence of such event of default, use its best efforts to notify all other Lenders of the existence of such event of default. Receipt by any Lender of such a notice of default shall not cause any Lender to be obligated to cure any such default. Failure of a Notifying Lender to provide such notice of default shall not result in any liability to any Lender in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. Upon receiving notice from a Notifying Lender of an event of default for failure to pay monies due and owing to any Lender under any Loan Document, any Lender may, but is not required to, cure such payment default on behalf of Borrower within ten (10) business days of receiving notice of the payment default from a Notifying Lender. During such ten (10) business day period, if any Lender cures such payment default, Lenders shall not take any action against Borrower with respect to such default. In the event that any Lender elects to cure such payment default, any amount such Lender pays to any other Lender to cure Borrower's payment default shall be considered a portion of Borrower's indebtedness to such Lender.

    3.2 In the event that a default or an event of default exists with respect to any of the Loan Documents, the applicable Lender may, after providing written notice of such default to all other Lenders and subject to the provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement, take any action it deems appropriate to enforce its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and its security interests in or liens on, or exercise any other rights or remedies to foreclose or otherwise realize upon, any of the Collateral.

    3.3 In the event Borrower defaults on its obligations to any Lender and, as a result, any Lender undertakes to enforce its security interest in the Collateral, each Lender agrees that it will not hinder, delay or otherwise prevent such Lender from taking any and all action which such Lender deems necessary to enforce its security interest in said Collateral and to realize thereon. Lenders agree that, to the extent any Lender receives any proceeds directly from any bank account, any account debtor or from the sale of any Collateral, then such Lender shall distribute such proceeds in accordance with the terms of this Intercreditor Agreement. To the extent that any Lender retains any Collateral pursuant to its respective rights as a secured party, such Collateral shall be divided among the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Intercreditor Agreement.

    4. Standstill. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.3, or the rights of any Lender under applicable law or any provision of the Loan Documents to the contrary, each Subordinate Lender hereby covenants that it shall not:

    (i) (A) accelerate payment of any indebtedness or any portion thereof under the Loan Documents, or (B) take any other action to enforce its rights under the Loan Documents, until the earlier of 60 days following the effective date hereof or the execution of the Fairview Agreement; provided that, each Lender may take any action to enforce its rights under the Loan Documents during such 60-day period in the event that a creditor of the Borrower who is not a party to this Agreement takes any action or provides notice to a Lender of its intent to take any action against Borrower to enforce its rights against the Borrower; and

    (ii) take any action to enforce their respective rights in, or receive payments or distributions on account of a sale or other disposition of the Collateral upon an event of default under a Subordinate Lender's Loan Documents so long as:

    (A) the Fairview Debt is outstanding; and

    (B) (1) the Borrower, its guarantors or assigns are not in default on the Fairview Loan Documents, or (2) in the event that the Borrower, its guarantors or assigns are in default on the Fairview Loan Documents, Fairview has either taken no action to enforce its rights under the Fairview Loan Documents or the only action it takes is to take over as manager of SDKAD and/or SDKINGDM pursuant to its rights under the Fairview Loan Documents;

    provided that, nothing herein shall impair the rights of the Subordinate Lenders to take any and all action to enforce their respective rights in the Other Collateral pursuant to Section 1.3(a) of this Agreement.

      1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.3, or the rights of any Lender under applicable law or any provision of the Loan Documents to the contrary, Fairview hereby covenants that it shall not:
        1. accelerate payment of any indebtedness or any portion thereof under the Fairview Loan Documents, or (B) take any other action to enforce its rights under the Fairview Loan Documents, until the earlier of 60 days following the effective date hereof or the execution of the Fairview Agreement; provided that, Fairview may take any action to enforce its rights under the Loan Documents during such period in the event that a creditor of the Borrower who is not a party to this Agreement takes any action or provides notice to Fairview of its intent to take any action against Borrower to enforce its rights against the Borrower; and

    (ii) take any action to enforce its rights in, or receive payments or distributions on account of a sale or other disposition of the Collateral upon an event of default of Popmail.com, inc. under the Fairview Loan Documents so long as (A) an event of default by SDKAD or SDKINGDM (as assignees of the Fairview Debt) has not occurred, and (B) if such event of default of Popmail.com, inc. is due to a failure to make payments when due, SDKAD and SDKINGDM assume the balance of the Fairview Debt not assumed by them under the Fairview Agreement within the applicable time period provided for in the Fairview Agreement.

    (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, but subject to Section 1.2, in the event of any Bankruptcy Proceeding relative to SDKAD, SDKINGDM or the Collateral, or in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of SDKAD or SDKINGDM, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, the Subordinate Lenders may take any and all action to enforce their respective rights under their respective Loan Documents.

     

    5. Prepayments. Subject to Section 1.3 of this Intercreditor Agreement, without the prior written consent of Fairview, no Subordinate Lender shall be entitled to receive or retain any optional prepayment (in cash, property, by set-off or otherwise) of or on account of any Subordinate Debt.

    6. Turn-Over of Payments Received. In the event that the Borrower shall make any payment on the Subordinate Debt which the holders thereof are not permitted to receive and retain pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over promptly on demand to, Fairview for application to the payment of all Fairview Debt remaining unpaid until the same shall have been paid in full in cash, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to Fairview. No such payments or distributions to Fairview by any Subordinate Lender shall be deemed to discharge any of such Subordinate Debt.

    7. Representations and Warranties. As a material inducement to each other Lender to enter into this Intercreditor Agreement, each Lender hereby represents and warrants to each other Lender that the following are true and correct as of the date hereof and shall remain true and correct so long as this Intercreditor Agreement is in effect:

    7.1 the execution, delivery and performance of this Intercreditor Agreement has been duly authorized by such Lender and does not contravene any law, any provision of the Loan Documents or any agreement to which such Lender is a party or by which it is bound;

    7.2 this Intercreditor Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Lender and is binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms; and

    7.3 the Loan Documents to which such Lender is a party are in the form of the copies thereof made available to each Lender, and no amendment, waiver or modification thereof shall be permitted without the written consent of all other Lenders, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

    8. Term; Default.

    8.1 This Intercreditor Agreement shall continue for so long as any Lender has a security interest in the Collateral. This Intercreditor Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the filing of a petition for relief by or against Borrower under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

    8.2 Nothing contained herein, or in any prior agreement or understanding, shall be deemed to create any duty on the part of any Lender to extend or continue financial accommodations to Borrower.

     

    8.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents or this Intercreditor Agreement, Lenders acknowledge and agree that any additional indebtedness up to $4,000,000 of Borrower under the GSI Loan Documents and additional indebtedness up to $500,000 of Borrower under the Fairview Loan Documents shall not be considered an event of default or breach of this Intercreditor Agreement or the Loan Documents and Borrower shall not be required to obtain the consent of the Lenders to enter into any such indebtedness; provided, however, such additional indebtedness shall be subject to the terms of this Intercreditor Agreement. The additional indebtedness of up to $500,000 under the Fairview Loan Documents shall be considered as part of the Fairview Debt for purposes of this Agreement.

    8.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents or this Intercreditor Agreement, Lenders hereby consent to the purchase by SDK AD, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company, from the Borrower of the Collateral associated with the MOA Restaurant and the purchase by SD KINGDM, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company, from the Borrower of the Collateral associated with the Denver Restaurant, and hereby waive any default under each Lender's Loan Documents that such a sale of the Collateral may create; provided, however, Borrower shall provide five (5) business days prior written notice to each Lender and shall cause SDK AD, LLC and SD KINGDM, LLC to execute any and all documents deemed necessary by any Lender to continue and maintain the Collateral and Lender's lien position in the Collateral, including but not limited to filing all appropriate UCC's which shall have the same priority as set forth herein. The Collateral shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Intercreditor Agreement.
