Other Events ------------ On May 2, 2000, MonsterDaata.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), signed an engagement letter (the "Engagement Letter") with Commonwealth Associates, L.P., a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of New York ("Commonwealth"), pursuant to which Commonwealth was engaged by the Company as an advisor. ComVest Capital Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an affilate of Commonwealth ("ComVest"), agreed to provide a loan to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,500,000. ComVest has loaned the Company a total of $903,000 through July 25, 2000, commencing with an initial loan on June 7, 2000, pursuant to a series of 8% Senior Secured Promissory Notes (the "Notes"), a copy of the form of which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 99.4 hereto. In connection with this loan, the Company issued to ComVest a warrant to purchase 7,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of the Company for an exercise price of $.01 per share (the "ComVest Warrant"). The ComVest Warrant was issued on or about June 7, 2000. The Company agreed that, as long as this loan remained outstanding, the Board of Directors of the Company must consist of seven directors, of which five are to be appointed by the Company with the consent of ComVest, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In connection with this loan, the Company executed a General Security Agreement in favor of ComVest (attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1) and the Company's principal subsidiary, Taconic Data Corp., a New York corporation ("Taconic") executed a guarantee of the notes to be issued to ComVest (attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2) and a General Security Agreement in favor of ComVest (attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3). On June 9, 2000 ComVest and Commonwealth exercised the ComVest Warrant, purchasing 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the case of ComVest and 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock in the case of Commonwealth. The purchase price for these shares was $60,000 in the case of ComVest and $15,000 in the case of Commonwealth. By virtue of this transaction, ComVest and Commonwealth beneficially own approximately 39.2% and 9.8%, respectively, of the Company's Common Stock or 48.9% of the Common Stock together. 2 The Company has also agreed that, if the Company completes a private placement of securities during the period that the Notes are outstanding, the holders of Notes will have the option to convert all or a portion of their Notes into the securities sold in any such transaction on the identical terms and conditions as the other investors in any such transaction. Should ComVest and/or Commonwealth exercise this option, their combined equity interest in the Company could increase, depending on the amount of Notes converted and the terms and amount of any such transaction.

The Debtor 8 shall, at the Debtor's own cost and expense, deliver the Receivables (including, without limitation, all documents evidencing the Receivables) and such books and records to the Secured Party or to its representatives upon its demand at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default and, if prior to the Maturity Date, Acceleration. If the Secured Party shall so request, the Debtor shall legend, in form and manner satisfactory to the Secured Party, the Receivables and other books, records and documents of the Debtor evidencing or pertaining to the Receivables with an appropriate reference to the fact that the Receivables have been assigned to the Secured Party and that the Secured Party has a security interest therein.
