ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND OTHER PROPOSALS - YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT!
 
The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of International Microcomputer Software, Inc., a California corporation ("IMSI"), will be held at the offices of AccessMedia, 9201 Oakdale Avenue, Suite 200, Chatsworth, CA 91311,  on ____________ __, 2006 at ____ a.m. Pacific Time, to elect our directors, ratify the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm and to consider several other matters.
 
The IMSI Board of Directors recommends that IMSI shareholders vote FOR each of the nominees for the Board and FOR the proposal to ratify the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm.
 
An important matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting is the proposal that IMSI merge with AccessMedia Networks, Inc. (“AccessMedia”). IMSI has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 16, 2005 and amended as of March 24, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among IMSI, AccessMedia, ACCM Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of IMSI, and the shareholders of AccessMedia. In this Annual Meeting we are seeking your approval of the Merger Agreement pursuant to which IMSI will issue 29,000,000 shares of IMSI common stock and up to an additional 35,000,000 shares of IMSI common stock to be issued upon achievement of certain revenue milestones to the shareholders of AccessMedia and AccessMedia will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of IMSI (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, IMSI is also proposing to change its name to Broadcaster, Inc. (“Broadcaster”).
 
The Board of Directors of IMSI believes that the combined company can become a market-leading provider of online media. The acquisition will combine AccessMedia’s rights to “virtual set top box” technology and online media content libraries, and Internet marketing experience with IMSI’s strong balance sheet and experienced public company management.
 
The Internet media industry continues to gather momentum. It is becoming clear that much of the interest in Internet media companies spawned in the late 1990s is being validated by the growth in Internet-based offerings and usage. The reach and scale of the Internet coupled with user acceptance of the Internet as a platform for media delivery, has led to a number of highly successful companies. Further, the proliferation of broadband access and media delivery devices has made Internet-based media offerings accessible and affordable to all.
 
AccessMedia’s technology revolves around its rights to "virtual set top box" software. This virtual set top box delivers an Internet-based, multi-channel offering of content and entertainment as viewers increasingly demand -- what, where and when they want. The virtual set top box, offered by AccessMedia allow viewers to search, access and organize the growing volumes of high quality content existing on the Internet. These capabilities span AccessMedia’s proprietary media library, media under license, and media readily available on the Internet.
 
iii

The crisp signals available by virtue of the virtual set top box offered by AccessMedia and widespread broadband adoption equates to an experience similar to that of cable television, with a broader choice of content and greater flexibility. People more and more utilize their computer to access media content and entertainment. Viewers increasingly seek to control their experience - content, timing, and advertising. The virtual set top box available from AccessMedia allows a viewer to customize his view to accommodate his specific tastes, including channel preferences and parental controls. Importantly, advertisers recognize the benefits from a viewer choosing his environment - one where only relevant and interesting advertising is selected. Further, the interactive nature of online media delivery allows a viewer to give real-time feedback on a variety of topics and immediately change his view to best suit his preferences.
 
AccessMedia is led by Internet entrepreneurs Nolan Quan, Sanger Robinson, Bruce K. Muhlfeld, and Robert Gould and their team of experienced Internet experts. Since the inception of the Internet, this team has been one of the foremost innovators of technologies, marketing, and advertising strategies for Internet-based consumer media offerings, and until now this team has operated in a private company environment. Additionally, this team has been a leader in providing web site development, traffic, database management, and hosting for many of the largest worldwide media companies. With the broad acceptance of the Internet and the belief that the Internet will become the principal method by which media is delivered, this team has agreed to bring AccessMedia, its related technologies, marketing strategies, advertising strategies, and content, into IMSI.
 
IMSI believes that the Merger offers a unique opportunity to enter into the highly scalable Internet media industry. The underlying growth in the Internet media industry, coupled with AccessMedia’s high margin product offerings, innovative marketing strategies and exceptional management team, should combine to provide IMSI with substantial growth and profit opportunities, creating significant shareholder value. IMSI expects this substantial revenue growth and positive cash flow to begin almost immediately after the AccessMedia launch. Additionally, AccessMedia’s content and entertainment offerings can be readily adapted for changing user preferences, which should result in low customer acquisition costs and long-term recurring revenue streams.
 
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon completion of the merger IMSI will issue 29,000,000 shares of common stock of IMSI (before giving effect to the reverse one for two stock split) to AccessMedia stockholders, representing approximately 49.1% of the outstanding shares of IMSI. Following the closing, IMSI may issue up to an additional 35,000,000 shares (before giving effect to the reverse one for two stock split) to AccessMedia stockholders if AccessMedia achieves certain revenue milestones prior to December 31, 2008 (subject to certain extensions as provided in the AccessMedia Merger Agreement), representing approximately 68.0% in the aggregate to be held by former AccessMedia stockholders.
 
AccessMedia stockholders will be entitled to receive 23,200 shares of common stock of IMSI (before giving effect to the reverse one for two stock split) for each share of AccessMedia common stock held by them at the effective time of the merger and up to 51,200 shares of common stock of IMSI (before giving effect to the reverse one for two stock split) for each share of AccessMedia common stock held by them if AccessMedia achieves certain revenue milestones prior to December 31, 2008 (subject to certain extensions as provided in the AccessMedia Merger Agreement).
 
The obligations of AccessMedia and IMSI to complete the merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of several conditions. More information about AccessMedia, IMSI and the merger is contained in this proxy statement.
 
The IMSI Board of Directors approved the Merger Agreement and the acquisition of AccessMedia and recommends that IMSI shareholders vote FOR the proposals to merge with AccessMedia and to change its name to Broadcaster, Inc.
 
IMSI is also seeking authority to effectuate a reverse one for two stock split of IMSI common stock. The principal reason for a reverse stock split would be to increase the per share trading price of IMSI common stock. The Board of Directors and management of IMSI believe it is important to maintain a strong stock price to heighten interest in IMSI in the financial community and potentially broaden the pool of investors that may consider investing in IMSI which could increase the trading volume and liquidity of our common stock.
 
iv

If the reverse stock split is approved, the Board will decide whether to effectuate the split based on its determination of the best interests of IMSI, taking into consideration the factors above.
 
The IMSI Board of Directors recommends that IMSI shareholders vote FOR the proposal to authorize the Board to effectuate the reverse stock split.
 
In addition to the merger proposal and reverse stock split, an amendment of the 2004 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan") that will result in the addition of 6,500,000 shares of common stock to the Option Plan reserve (before giving effect to the reverse one for two stock split), will be considered at the Annual Meeting.
 
The IMSI Board of Directors recommends that IMSI shareholders vote FOR the proposal to amend the Option Plan.
 
The proposals, and proposals ordinarily considered at IMSI's Annual Meeting, will be voted on at the Annual Meeting of IMSI shareholders on ____________ _____, 2006, at 10 A.M., local time, at the offices of AccessMedia, 9201 Oakdale Avenue, Suite 200, Chatsworth, CA 91311.
 
We encourage you to read this proxy statement before voting.
 
Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting of shareholders of IMSI, please take the time to vote by completing and mailing the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card and returning it in the pre-addressed postage pre-paid envelope provided as soon as possible. Returning the proxy card does not deprive you of your right to attend the Annual Meeting of IMSI and to vote your shares in person.
 
I enthusiastically support the proposals and join IMSI’s Board of Directors in recommending that you vote FOR the aforementioned proposals.
 
Sincerely,


Martin R. Wade, III
Chief Executive Officer
 

This proxy statement is dated April 10, 2006, and is first being mailed to shareholders on or about April 10, 2006.

PROXY STATEMENT

 
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

ON ____________ __, 2006
 
This Proxy Statement is furnished to shareholders of International Microcomputer Software, Inc., a California corporation (“IMSI” or the “Company”), in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on ____________, ____________, 2006 at ____________ a.m. Pacific Time at the offices of AccessMedia, 9201 Oakdale Avenue, Suite 200, Chatsworth, CA 91311, and at any adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy will be mailed on or about ____________ __, 2006 to all shareholders of the Company entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
 
VOTING RIGHTS AND SOLICITATION
 
Voting
 
Only shareholders of record at the close of business ____________ __, 2006 are entitled to execute proxies or to vote at the annual meeting. As of said date there were issued and outstanding ____________ shares of the Company’s common stock (before giving effect to the reverse one-for-two stock split) of no par value per share (the “Common Shares”), including those Common Shares which could be acquired by the exercise of options within 60 days. A more detailed description of the ownership of Common Shares by certain beneficial owners and the Company’s directors and executive officers is set forth beginning on page 55 of this document.

Quorum and Votes Required

Each holder of Common Shares is entitled to one vote for each share held with respect to the matters mentioned in the foregoing Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and any other matters that may properly come before the annual meeting. A majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote is required to constitute a quorum at the annual meeting. Please note that banks and brokers that have not received voting instructions from their clients cannot vote on their clients’ behalf on “non-routine” proposals, such as the proposal to approve the adoption of the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, but may vote their clients’ shares on other proposals. In the event that a broker, bank, custodian, nominee or other record holder of IMSI common stock indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote certain shares on a particular matter, referred to as a “broker non-vote,” then those shares will not be considered entitled to vote with respect to that matter. However, abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting. In the election of directors, the nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Proposal Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 require the approval of the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present or represented by proxy and voting at the meeting, together with the affirmative vote of a majority of the required quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes could prevent approval of a proposal where the number of affirmative votes, though a majority of the votes represented and cast, does not constitute a majority of the required quorum. If the persons present or represented by proxy at the meeting constitute the holders of less than a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock as of the record date, the meeting may be adjourned to a subsequent date for the purpose of obtaining a quorum.

1

Voting Procedure
 
Shareholders of record may vote by mailing a completed proxy card prior to the annual meeting, by delivering a completed proxy card at the annual meeting, or by voting in person at the annual meeting.
 
Proxies in the form enclosed are solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors. IMSI requests that you complete, date and sign the accompanying proxy card and return it promptly in the enclosed postage-paid envelope or otherwise mail it to IMSI or its solicitor. Such proxies, if received in time for voting and not revoked, will be voted at the annual meeting in accordance with the specification indicated thereon. If no specification is indicated on a proxy, such proxy will be voted in favor of Proposals 1 through 8 described herein. Unless you check the box on your proxy withholding discretionary authority, the proxy holders may use their discretion to vote on other matters relating to the annual meeting. IMSI currently does not contemplate that any matters, other than Proposals 1 through 8, will be considered at the annual meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the annual meeting, the persons named in the proxies will have discretion to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.
 
The costs and expenses of solicitation of proxies will be paid by the Company, including the cost of reimbursing banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries, for forwarding proxy materials to their principals. Proxies may also be solicited by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company personally, or by mail, telephone, fax or other methods of communication, but such persons will not be specifically compensated for such services.

Revocability of Proxies

You have the power to revoke your proxy at any time before the proxy is actually voted at the annual meeting. Your proxy can be revoked in one of three ways:
 
1.  
You can send a signed notice of revocation.
   
2.  
You can grant a new, valid proxy bearing a later date.
   
3.  
If you are a shareholder of record, you can attend the annual meeting and vote in person, which will automatically cancel any proxy previously given.
 
You may revoke your proxy in person, but your attendance alone will not revoke any proxy that you have previously given. If you choose either of the first two methods, you must submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy to the corporate secretary of IMSI no later than the beginning of the annual meeting.
 
Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a broker, bank, or other nominee and you wish to vote at the annual meeting, you must bring to the annual meeting a letter from the broker, bank or other nominee confirming your beneficial ownership of the shares.

PROPOSAL ONE: ELECTION OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
 
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement to be considered in Proposal Two, the Company has agreed to expand the size of the Board by two, which will comprise the full number of directors currently authorized. It is anticipated that this expansion will occur shortly following the completion of the Merger which will occur after the annual meeting. The new directors will be subject to re-election by the shareholders at the Company's next annual meeting of shareholders.

In the event that any nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the annual meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee who shall be designated by the Board of Directors to fill the vacancy. The term of office of each person elected as a director will continue until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until a successor has been duly elected and qualified.

The Executive Committee held one meeting in the 2005 fiscal year and for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006 the Executive Committee has held two meetings through December 31, 2005.

Audit Committee
 
The Audit Committee and the Board have ultimate authority and responsibility to select, evaluate and, when appropriate, replace the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee recommends for approval by the Board of Directors an independent firm of certified public accountants whose duty it is to audit the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year in which they are appointed. The Audit Committee monitors the activities of the Company’s external auditors, including the audit scope, the external audit fees, auditor independence matters and the extent to which the independent registered public accounting firm may be retained to perform advisory services. The Audit Committee also reviews the results of the external audit work to assess the adequacy and appropriateness of the Company’s financial and accounting controls. The Audit Committee reviews changes in accounting standards that impact the financial statements and discusses with management major events, including legal matters and tax audits, which may have significant financial impact or are the subject of discussions with the independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, the Audit Committee oversees the Company’s internal compliance programs. The composition of the Audit Committee, the attributes of its members and the responsibilities of the Audit Committee are intended to be in accord with Securities and Exchange Commission rules with regard to corporate audit committees. The Audit Committee held seven meetings during the 2005 fiscal year. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006, the Audit Committee held three meetings through December 31, 2005.
 
Compensation Committee
 
The Compensation Committee administers the Company’s stock option plans, including the review and grant of stock options to officers and other employees under the Company’s stock option plans. The Compensation Committee also reviews and approves various other Company compensation policies and matters, and reviews and approves salaries and other matters relating to compensation of the executive officers of the Company. The Compensation Committee held two meetings during the 2005 fiscal year and for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006, the Compensation Committee held two meetings through December 31, 2005.

Nomination and Shareholder Communication Processes
 
Currently the Board of Directors functions as the Company’s nominating committee. The Board performs the functions typical of a nominating committee, including the identification, recruitment and selection of nominees for election as directors of the Company. Four of the six members of the Board (Messrs.  Falcone, Berman, Binn & Perlyn) are “independent” as that term is defined by the NASDAQ Stock Market listing standards and participate in the consideration of director nominees. The nominees for election as directors at this annual meeting were unanimously recommended by the Board. The Board believes that a nominating committee separate from itself is not necessary at this time, given the size of the Company and the Board, to ensure that candidates are appropriately evaluated and selected and that an additional committee of the Board would not add to the effectiveness of the evaluation and nomination process.
 
The Board’s process for recruiting and selecting nominees is for Board members to attempt to identify individuals who are thought to have the business background and experience, industry specific knowledge and general reputation and expertise that would allow them to contribute as effective directors to the Company’s governance and who are willing to serve as directors of a public company. To date, the Company has not engaged any third party to assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominees. After a possible candidate is identified, the individual meets with various members of the Board and is sounded out concerning their possible interest and willingness to serve, and Board members discuss amongst themselves the individual’s potential to be an effective Board member.
 
To date, no shareholder has presented any candidate for consideration as a Board member and the Company does not have a specific policy on shareholder-recommended director candidates. However, the Board believes its process for evaluation of nominees proposed by shareholders would be no different from the process of evaluating any other candidate. In evaluating candidates, the Board will require that candidates possess, at a minimum, a desire to serve on the Company’s Board, an ability to contribute to the effectiveness of the Board, an understanding of the function of the Board of a public company and relevant knowledge and experience. In addition, while not required of any one candidate, the Board would consider favorably experience, education, training or other expertise in business or financial matters and prior experience serving on boards of other public companies. In evaluating any candidate for director nominee, the Board will also evaluate the contribution of the proposed nominee toward compliance with the NASDAQ Stock Market listing standards.
 
6

Although the Company has not to date developed formal processes by which shareholders may communicate directly to directors, it believes that the informal process, in which any communication addressed to the Board at the Company’s offices at 100 Rowland Way, Suite 300, Novato, CA 94945 in care of the Chairman of the Board, President or other corporate officer is required to be forwarded to the entire Board, has served the Board's and its shareholders' needs. There is no screening process, and all shareholder communications which are received by officers for the Board's attention are forwarded to the Board. In view of recently adopted Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) disclosure requirements relating to this issue, the Board may consider development of more specific procedures. Until any other procedures are developed, any communications to the Board should be sent to it in care of the Chairman of the Board.

PROPOSAL TWO: MERGER WITH ACCESSMEDIA NETWORKS, INC.
 
THE MERGER
 
This section of this document describes the principal aspects of the proposed merger whereby AccessMedia Network, Inc. (“AccessMedia”) will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of IMSI (the “Merger”). While IMSI believes that this description covers the material terms of the Merger and the related transactions, this summary may not contain all of the information that is important to IMSI shareholders. You can obtain a more complete understanding of the Merger by reading the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 16, 2005, as amended as of March 24, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among IMSI, AccessMedia, ACCM Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of IMSI, and the shareholders of AccessMedia, a copy of which is attached to this document as Annex A. You are encouraged to read the Merger Agreement and the other annexes to this document carefully and in their entirety.
 
The Companies
 
100 Rowland Way, Suite 300
Novato, CA 94945
(415) 878-4000

International Microcomputer Software, Inc. (“IMSI” or the “Company”) has historically operated as a software company. IMSI, prior to the Merger, has operated in two business segments: (i) computer aided design and precision engineering; and (ii) house plans and architectural drawings.
 
Headquartered in Novato, California, IMSI was incorporated in California in November 1982. Over the following 16 years, IMSI grew to become a leading developer and publisher of productivity software in the precision design, graphic design, and other related business applications fields. IMSI acquired TurboCAD, its flagship product for computer aided design, in 1985, and developed and acquired numerous products and product categories over the years. By the end of 1998, IMSI developed, marketed and distributed our products worldwide, primarily through the retail channel.
 
In 1998, IMSI acquired ArtToday.com (“ArtToday”), an Internet provider of clipart, photos and other graphics content, as part of its strategy to transition from the retail channel to Internet based product distribution and to migrate its core products and content in the design and graphics categories to the Internet. In June 2003, IMSI sold ArtToday, its wholly-owned subsidiary based in Arizona, to Jupitermedia Corporation (“JupiterMedia”) for a combination of cash, restricted stock and two-year earn-outs.
 
The sale of ArtToday to Jupitermedia provided IMSI with significant capital allowing us to accelerate the implementation of our strategy of strengthening and expanding our core businesses of precision design and consumer software. IMSI’s focus is to acquire and develop businesses and product lines, which have significant revenue and cost synergies with its existing product lines as well as which utilize the Internet as a primary means of distribution. To that end IMSI has since completed several acquisitions and one divestiture aimed at growing our revenues and strengthening our financial results.
 
As part of our focus to acquire product lines which utilized the Internet as a primary means of distribution, in April 2004 IMSI completed the acquisition of all the outstanding stock of Aladdin Systems, Inc. (“Aladdin”), a developer and publisher of utility software solutions in the areas of information access, removal, recovery, security and distribution of information and data for the Windows, Linux and Macintosh platforms. IMSI purchased Aladdin for a combination of cash, stock and notes from its parent company, Aladdin Systems Holdings, Inc. and subsequently changed the company’s name to Allume Systems, Inc (“Allume”). With over 50% of its sales being generated via the Internet, Allume broadened IMSI’s reach into this key distribution channel. On July 1, 2005, IMSI sold the issued and outstanding capital stock of Allume, Inc. to Smith Micro Software, Inc. for $11 million cash and 397,547 unregistered shares of its common stock, having a market value (based on a ten day trading average ended on June 29, 2005) of $1,750,000. A portion of the purchase price was deposited in an indemnity escrow to secure certain representations and warranties of IMSI. As a result of this sale, IMSI categorized the operations of this subsidiary as discontinued and, in the quarter ending December 31, 2005, recorded the results of the sale of Allume assets as a loss of approximately $474,000 but is subject to change based upon the release of the escrowed consideration. IMSI sold all Smith Micro stock received from the sale and recorded a realized gain of $923,000 on the sale of securities.
 
10

Following the sale of Allume, the acquisition of AccessMedia accelerates IMSI’s transformation from a software company to an Internet media company.
 
As of December 31, 2005, IMSI had 51 full time employees. All employees are located in the United States with the exception of one employee in Germany. References in this document to “IMSI” or the “Company” refer to International Microcomputer Software, Inc. and its subsidiaries. IMSI’s headquarters are located at 100 Rowland Way, Suite 300, Novato, CA 94945 and IMSI’s telephone number is (415) 878-4000.

It has not conducted any business operations and will not do so prior to the completion of the Merger. If the Merger is completed, ACCM Acquisition Corp. will cease to exist following its merger with and into AccessMedia.
 
Background of the Merger

In late 2004, Martin Wade, Chief Executive Officer of IMSI, and Bruce Galloway, Chairman of the Board of Directors of IMSI, began discussing with Michael Gardner, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Baytree Capital Associates LLC (“Baytree”), a financial advisor to IMSI, various strategies to enhance IMSI shareholder value. In particular, they discussed the migration of IMSI from a traditional or packaged software company to offering downloadable media over the Internet. Messrs. Wade, Galloway and Gardner agreed that the growth and reach of the Internet coupled with the predictability of license revenues should lead to enhanced IMSI shareholder value.
 
On April 7, 2005, Mr. Gardner held a meeting in Las Vegas where he introduced Messrs. Wade and Galloway to Nolan Quan, a director of AccessMedia. Mr. Quan, an Internet entrepreneur, had met Mr. Gardner in 1998 when Mr. Quan was supporting the development and marketing activities for a public company in which Mr. Gardner was a large shareholder. At the meeting, Mr. Quan presented the AccessMedia technology indicating that he believed the market for an Internet-based media network, although still immature, would develop and the widespread adoption of broadband might position AccessMedia to become one of the leading Internet media networks. All parties agreed to further explore the possibility of a strategic combination and entered into mutual non-disclosure agreements.
 
12

Over the following week, Messrs. Wade, Quan and Gardner conducted preliminary due diligence and began discussing the broad terms of a potential strategic transaction. Based on each party’s mutual satisfaction with preliminary due diligence and the broad transaction terms, all parties agreed to begin negotiation of a letter of intent.
 
During the period from mid-April to mid-May 2005, the parties continued their due diligence and negotiated the terms of a letter of intent.
 
On May 13, 2005, a letter of intent was signed by all parties.
 
On May 23, 2005, representatives from IMSI, AccessMedia, Baytree, Silicon Valley Law Group and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP met at the offices of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP in Palo Alto, California to negotiate and draft the definitive agreements. During the course of the following week, all parties negotiated the principal terms of the definitive agreements including a merger agreement and a joint operating agreement, which was intended to govern the operations of AccessMedia until the closing of the Merger.
 
At a regularly scheduled meeting on June 13, 2005, Mr. Wade updated the Board of Directors on his discussions with AccessMedia, and discussed the business strategy which would include an Internet-based licensed media model in lieu of IMSI’s current businesses. The IMSI Board of Directors continued its evaluation of potential strategic alternatives, including an evaluation of the strategy presented by Mr. Wade, as well as continued operation under IMSI’s existing business plans.
 
During the period from early June to early August 2005, all parties worked to finalize due diligence and the documentation related to the Merger. During this period, Messrs. Wade and Quan had various meetings and discussions regarding the rationale for a possible business combination transaction between IMSI and AccessMedia, including the strategic ramifications and potential financial benefits of such a transaction. In addition, representatives of IMSI and AccessMedia, including representatives of their respective advisors, engaged in periodic discussions regarding the feasibility, possible terms and timing of, and the process involved with, a possible business combination transaction.
 
A new letter of intent was signed by all parties on July 27, 2005 reflecting the terms of the transaction that had been discussed between the parties.
 
From late July through early August, 2005, representatives of IMSI and representatives of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP and Baytree continued discussions with representatives of AccessMedia to address due diligence issues and negotiate terms and conditions of the potential transaction.
 
On August 5, 2005, the IMSI Board of Directors held a meeting to review the primary strategic, financial and legal considerations concerning the proposed Merger of IMSI and AccessMedia, the advisability of the proposed transaction and the fairness of the Merger consideration. At the Board meeting, all but one of the IMSI directors were present in addition to Mr. Gardner, representatives from Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, counsel to IMSI, and Sean Deson, Managing Director of Deson & Co. During this meeting, Mr. Wade reported on the status of negotiations with AccessMedia and discussed the results of financial, legal and other due diligence of the business, operations and prospects of AccessMedia. Additionally, Mr. Gardner spoke to his historical relationship with AccessMedia and its principals. Representatives of Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP reviewed with the IMSI Board of Directors its legal obligations, including fiduciary duties, and summarized the material terms and conditions of the most recent drafts of the definitive agreements. Mr. Deson then presented financial analyses with respect to the proposed strategic business combination with AccessMedia. Following this presentation, Deson & Co. delivered its oral opinion to the effect that, based upon and subject to certain assumptions made, matters considered and limitations set forth in its opinion, the Merger consideration to be issued pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to IMSI. This opinion of Deson & Co. was confirmed in a letter dated August 5, 2005. The IMSI Board of Directors asked questions and discussed with members of IMSI’s management and the Board’s financial and legal advisors the relative merits and the legal issues surrounding the proposed transaction with AccessMedia. Messrs. Gardner and Deson were excused from the meeting and such discussion of the Board continued with counsel to IMSI.
 
13

Following the presentations and further discussions among members of the IMSI Board of Directors, certain members of IMSI’s management and IMSI’s financial and legal advisors, the IMSI Board of Directors, with one director dissenting and one director absent, determined the merger agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, were advisable, fair and in the best interest of IMSI and its shareholders, adopted and approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and authorized certain officers to make any necessary or appropriate changes to the merger agreement.
 
Following the approvals of the Merger and related transactions by the respective boards of directors of IMSI and AccessMedia, representatives of IMSI and AccessMedia finalized the definitive merger agreement on August 8, 2005 and then issued a joint press release announcing its execution.
 
After signing the definitive merger agreement, each party worked to satisfy its conditions to closing. Beginning in September, the parties discussed the possible restructuring of the merger agreement (i) to provide more certainty regarding the tax treatment of the Merger and (ii) to increase the Merger consideration to be paid at the closing of the merger while reducing the aggregate Merger consideration potentially earned by the former AccessMedia shareholders upon the achievement of certain revenue milestones.
 
On October 20, 2005, the IMSI Board of Directors held a meeting to review a new merger agreement, the primary strategic, financial and legal considerations concerning the proposed changes, the advisability of the proposed changes and the fairness of the revised Merger consideration. At the Board meeting, all directors of IMSI were present in addition to Messrs. Gardner and Deson, as well as representatives from Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP. During this meeting, Mr. Wade reported on the status of negotiations of the proposed changes to the transaction with AccessMedia. Mr. Gardner and representatives of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP spoke to their views of the proposed changes. Mr. Deson then presented financial analyses with respect to the proposed strategic business combination with AccessMedia. Following this presentation, Deson & Co. delivered its oral opinion to the effect that, based upon and subject to certain assumptions made, matters considered and limitations set forth in its opinion, the Merger consideration to be issued pursuant to the new merger agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to IMSI. This opinion of Deson & Co. was confirmed in a letter dated October 20, 2005. The IMSI Board of Directors asked questions and discussed with members of IMSI’s management and the Board’s financial and legal advisors the relative merits and the legal issues surrounding the proposed changes to the transaction with AccessMedia. Mr. Bob Mayer resigned as director as of the start of business on October 20, 2005.
 
Following the presentations and further discussions among members of the IMSI Board of Directors, certain members of IMSI’s management and IMSI’s financial and legal advisors, the IMSI Board of Directors unanimously determined the new merger agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, were advisable, fair and in the best interest of IMSI and its shareholders, and adopted and approved the new merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
 
Following the approvals of the Merger and related transactions by the respective boards of directors of IMSI and AccessMedia, representatives of IMSI and AccessMedia finalized the definitive Merger Agreement, on December 16, 2005, and then issued a joint press release announcing its execution. The parties amended the Merger Agreement on March 24, 2006.
 

After careful consideration, at a meeting held on October 20, 2005, the IMSI Board of Directors:
 
· 
determined that the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are advisable;
   
· 
determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of IMSI and its shareholders that IMSI enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the Merger;
   
· 
determined that the Merger Agreement is fair to IMSI and its shareholders;
   
· 
approved the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and
   
· 
determined to recommend that the shareholders of IMSI adopt the Merger Agreement.

THE IMSI BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS OF IMSI VOTE “FOR” ADOPTION OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AND FOR THE IMSI ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.
 
In considering the recommendation of the IMSI Board of Directors with respect to the Merger Agreement, you should be aware that certain directors and executive officers of IMSI have interests in the Merger that are different from, or are in addition to, the interests of IMSI shareholders. Please see the Section entitled “The Merger - Interests of IMSI Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 22 of this document.
 
 
The IMSI Board of Directors has determined that the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are advisable, that it is in the best interests of IMSI and its shareholders that IMSI enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the Merger, and that the Merger Agreement is fair to IMSI and its shareholders.
 
In reaching its decision to approve the Merger Agreement and to recommend that IMSI shareholders vote to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Merger, our Board of Directors considered a number of factors, including the following material factors:
 
· 
expected growth in Internet-based media;
   
· 
advanced technologies at AccessMedia;
   
· 
Internet media management team at AccessMedia;
   
· 
potential market reach, growth and operating margins of AccessMedia;
   
· 
high desirability of a recurring and adaptable revenue model;
   
· 
likelihood of attracting public market and strategic attention;
   
· 
favorable early performance metrics achieved by AccessMedia;
   
· 
historical information concerning IMSI’s businesses, financial performance and condition, operations, technology, management and competitive position;
   
· 
the availability, strategic viability and economic terms of possible alternatives to the transaction with AccessMedia;
   
· 
the belief that the terms of the Merger Agreement, including the parties’ representations, warranties and covenants, and the conditions to the parties’ respective obligations, are reasonable;
 
15

   
· 
the analyses prepared by Deson & Co. presented to the IMSI Board of Directors, and the oral opinion of Deson & Co., subsequently confirmed in writing, that as of October 20, 2005, and based upon and subject to certain assumptions made, matters considered and limitations set forth in Deson & Co.’s opinion (the full text of which is attached as Annex D to this document), the Merger consideration to be paid to AccessMedia shareholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement was fair to IMSI shareholders, from a financial point of view, as described more fully under “The Merger - Opinion of Deson & Co.” beginning on page 17 of this document;
   
· 
our Board’s familiarity with, and presentations by our management and financial advisor regarding, our business, operations, financial condition, business strategy and prospects (as well as the risks involved in achieving those prospects), the nature of the business in which we compete, and general industry, economic and market conditions, both on a historical and on a prospective basis;
   
· 
the fact that the Merger consideration is all stock and has a considerable earn-out component;
   
· 
the interest of certain IMSI executive officers and directors in the Merger, as described more fully under “the Merger - Interests of IMSI Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 22 of this document; and
   
· 
our Board’s belief that the Merger likely would be completed on a timely basis.
   
 
· 
the early nature of the AccessMedia business;
   
· 
the online business is rapidly developing and fiercely competitive;
   
· 
entering into Internet media exposes us to management and operational issues with which our current management has only modest experience;
   
· 
large traditional media companies will enter the online media business over time and may have greater resources and more comprehensive offerings;
   
· 
the risks and uncertainties of not pursuing other options more in line with our traditional software business and diverting management attention from these businesses;
   
· 
the risk of the public announcement of the Merger and that our stock price may decline;
   
· 
the risk that a large number of IMSI shareholders would exercise their appraisal rights potentially resulting in an obligation of IMSI to pay such shareholders the fair value of their IMSI common stock in cash which could deplete IMSI's cash reserves;
   
· 
the risk that the Merger might not be completed in a timely manner or at all;
   
· 
the negative impact of any customer or supplier disappointment or confusion after announcement of the Merger;
 
 
· 
the possibility of management and employee disruption associated with the Merger;
   
· 
the interests of certain IMSI executive officers and directors in the Merger described under “The Merger - Interests of IMSI Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 22 of this document;
   
· 
the termination fee payable by IMSI in certain circumstances; and
   
· 
the possibility that the parties may not be able to obtain all of the approvals necessary to consummate the Merger.

After considering the risks, the IMSI Board of Directors concluded that the potential benefits of the Merger outweighed these risks.
 
The foregoing discussion, information and factors considered by our Board of Directors is not intended to be exhaustive but is believed to include all material factors considered by the Board of Directors. In view of the wide variety of factors considered by our Board of Directors, as well as the complexity of these matters, the IMSI Board of Directors did not find it practical to quantify or otherwise assign relative weight to the specific factors considered. In addition, the Board did not reach any specific conclusions on each factor considered, or any aspect of any particular factor, and individual members of the IMSI Board of Directors may have given different weights to different factors. In making its determinations and recommendations, the IMSI Board of Directors as a whole viewed its determinations and recommendations based on the totality of the information presented to and considered by it. However, after taking into account all of the factors set forth above, the IMSI Board of Directors unanimously determined that the Merger Agreement and the Merger were fair to, and in the best interests of IMSI and its shareholders and that IMSI should proceed with the Merger.
 
Opinion of Deson & Co.
 
The IMSI Board of Directors retained Deson & Co. to render an opinion to the Board with respect to the Merger. Deson & Co. rendered its oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, to the Board of Directors of IMSI that, as of the date of the written fairness opinion, and subject to and based on the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations of the review undertaken in such opinion, the Merger consideration to be paid to AccessMedia shareholders was fair, from a financial point of view, to IMSI.
 
The full text of the written opinion of Deson & Co., dated October 20, 2005, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the opinion and on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex D to, and is incorporated by reference in, this document. The opinion of Deson & Co. does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of shares of IMSI common stock should vote in connection with the Merger Agreement or any other matter related thereto. You should carefully read the opinion in its entirety.
 
In arriving at its opinion, Deson & Co., among other things:
 
· 
reviewed the draft of the merger agreement dated August 3, 2005, the draft of the Merger Agreement dated October 19, 2005 and drafts of selected other documents related to the Merger;
   
· 
participated in discussions and negotiations among representatives of IMSI, AccessMedia and AccessMedia’ majority owners and their respective financial and legal advisors;
   
   
· 
analyzed certain financial projections of IMSI and AccessMedia prepared by the executives of each party;
   
· 
discussed the past and current operations, financial condition and prospects for both IMSI and AccessMedia with senior executives of each party;
   
· 
compared the expected financial performance of AccessMedia with that of certain other comparable publicly-traded companies;
   
· 
reviewed the financial terms and other terms, to the extent publicly available of precedent acquisition transactions of companies comparable to AccessMedia;
   
 
 
17

· 
assessed AccessMedia’s value using discounted cash flow analysis of projected future cash flows;
   
· 
analyzed the expected accretion/dilution to IMSI of AccessMedia based upon the information provided by executives of each party;
   
· 
assessed the expected relative contribution of IMSI and AccessMedia based upon information provided by executives of each party; and
   
· 
performed such other analysis and considered such other factors as Deson & Co. deemed appropriate.
 
In connection with its review, Deson & Co. has relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the foregoing financial and other information, and Deson & Co. has not assumed any responsibility for any independent verification of such information.
 
Deson & Co. has not conducted physical inspections of the properties or facilities of each of IMSI and AccessMedia, and has not made any comprehensive evaluations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities of each of IMSI and AccessMedia, nor have any such valuations or appraisals been provided to Deson & Co. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Deson & Co. has undertaken no independent analysis of any owned or leased real estate, or any pending or threatened litigation, possible unasserted claims or other contingent liabilities, to which IMSI or AccessMedia or any of their respective affiliates are a party or may be subject, and Deson & Co.’s opinion makes no assumption concerning and therefore does not consider the possible assertion of claims, outcomes or damages arising out of any such matters.
 
Deson & Co. has assumed, in reliance upon the assurances of the management of IMSI and AccessMedia, that the information provided to it has been prepared on a reasonable basis in accordance with industry practice, and, with respect to financial planning data and other business outlook information, reflects the best currently available estimates and judgment of the management of each party, and that the management of each party is not aware of any information or facts that would make the information provided to Deson & Co. incomplete or misleading.

Deson & Co.'s opinion is necessarily based on the economic, market and other conditions in effect on, and the information made available to it, as of the date hereof. In arriving at its opinion, Deson & Co. has assumed that all the necessary regulatory approvals and consents required for the merger will be obtained in a manner that will not change the purchase price for AccessMedia. Deson & Co. has assumed that the final form of the Merger Agreement will be substantially similar to the draft reviewed by us, without modification of material terms or conditions.

The summary set forth below does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Deson & Co., but describes, in summary form, the material elements of the presentation that Deson & Co. made to IMSI’s Board of Directors on August 4, 2005, and on October 20, 2005, in connection with Deson & Co.’s fairness opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to a partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Deson & Co. considered the results of all of its analyses as a whole and did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it. With respect to the analysis of selected public companies and the analysis of selected precedent transactions summarized below, no company or transaction used as a comparison is either identical or directly comparable to AccessMedia or to the Merger. The analyses described below must be considered as a whole, and considering portions of these analyses, without considering all of them, would create an incomplete view of the process underlying Deson & Co.’s analyses and opinion.
 
Analysis of Comparable Public Companies. Deson & Co. compared selected financial information for IMSI and AccessMedia with corresponding financial information of selected publicly held companies in the Internet media and advertising industry. Deson & Co. selected these companies for comparison because they have technologies, operations or strategies in certain respects comparable to AccessMedia. These companies include the following:
 
18

CNET Networks, Inc.
RealNetworks, Inc.
IAC/Interactive Corp.
Viewpoint Corp.
Aptimus, Inc.
OpenTV Corp.

Deson & Co. reviewed the total enterprise value of the selected comparable companies as a multiple of revenues, gross profit and operating income, and the market value of the selected comparable companies as a multiple of net income for the latest twelve months ending September 30, 2005 and for the estimated fiscal year 2005 and 2006. Financial data for the selected comparable companies was based on the publicly available information available at the time of the announcement of the transaction. Deson & Co. compared the multiples derived from the selected comparable companies with corresponding multiples for AccessMedia based on the consideration to be paid to AccessMedia shareholders. This analysis indicated the following implied high, mean, and low multiples for the selected comparable companies and the implied multiples for the consideration to be paid to AccessMedia shareholders and the resulting AccessMedia per share valuation based upon AccessMedia’s projected 2006 financial information, and 29,000,000 and 35,000,000 shares issued as consideration (the high and the low number of shares to be issued prior to and after achieving the first performance metric), and IMSI’s share price of $1.01.

Analysis of Selected Precedent Transactions. Deson & Co. reviewed the implied enterprise values in the selected merger and acquisition transactions in the Internet media and advertising industries announced since 2003. Deson & Co. selected these transactions for comparison because they related to acquisitions of companies that have technologies, operations or strategies in certain respects comparable to AccessMedia. These transactions include:

Deson & Co. reviewed the selected transactions and determined enterprise value as a multiple of the target's latest twelve months revenues, gross profit, EBITDA, operating income, and assets, and equity value as a multiple of the target's latest twelve months net income and book value. Multiples for the selected transactions were based on publicly available information available at the time of the announcement of the transaction. Deson & Co. then compared the implied multiples derived from the selected transactions with corresponding multiples for AccessMedia projected 2006 financial information. This analysis indicated the following implied high, mean, and low multiples for the selected precedent transactions and the implied multiples for the consideration to be paid to AccessMedia shareholders and the resulting AccessMedia per share valuation based upon AccessMedia’s projected 2006 financial information, and 29,000,000 and 35,000,000 shares issued as consideration (the high and the low number of shares to be issued prior to and after achieving the first performance metric), and IMSI’s share price of $1.01.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Deson & Co. performed a discounted cash flow analysis based on the stand-alone net present values of the cash flows of AccessMedia. Deson & Co. derived the implied reference ranges by applying a range of operating income terminal value multiples of 15.0x to 35.0x and revenue terminal value multiples of 4.0x to 6.0x and discount rates of 20.0% to 40.0%. The operating income and revenue terminal value multiples are consistent with other selected comparable public companies and precedent transactions. The discount rates used in the discounted cash flow analyses are discount rates that in the professional judgment of Deson & Co. are appropriate for use in connection with earlier stage companies such as AccessMedia. The implied per share price range referenced below is the price per share indicated by dividing the various equity values derived by the number of shares that would be issued to AccessMedia pursuant to the Merger and the achievement of the revenues underlying the cash flow projections. The following sets forth the range of per share values based upon the above assumptions and AccessMedia’s cash flow projections.

EPS Accretion/Dilution Analysis. Deson & Co. performed pro forma analyses of the financial impact of the Merger using estimates prepared by IMSI for the year ended 2006 and using operating margin estimates prepared by AccessMedia applied to the various revenue Performance Levels.

In general, the dilution or accretion would be:
 
· 
Modestly dilutive in 2006 based upon AccessMedia’s projections; and
   
· 
Other than at the first Performance Level, modestly accretive to very accretive at the various Performance Levels.

Relative Contribution Analysis. Deson & Co. reviewed the contributions of IMSI for the year ended 2006 and using operating margin estimates prepared by AccessMedia applied to the various revenue Performance Levels. The following sets forth the contribution of IMSI and AccessMedia of revenues, gross profit and operating income to the relative ownership of IMSI and AccessMedia at each Performance Level both pre and post the issuance of the related Performance Level shares.

In general, the contribution of AccessMedia would be:

· 
Approximately what its ownership percentage is in 2006 based upon AM’s and IMSI’s projections;
   
· 
Other than at the first Performance Level, AccessMedia contributes more than its relative ownership at the various Performance Levels; and
   
· 
The achievement of each Performance Level is more beneficial to IMSI shareholders on a per share basis.

Miscellaneous. Under the terms of its engagement IMSI has agreed to pay Deson & Co., independent of the outcome of the Merger, a fee of $100,000 for services delivered in connection with rendering the Fairness Opinion. In addition, IMSI has agreed to reimburse Deson & Co. for its reasonable expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, and to indemnify Deson & Co. and related parties against liabilities, including liabilities under federal securities laws, relating to, or arising out of, its engagement. Over the past two years, IMSI has not paid to Deson & Co. any other fees for banking and related services.
 
IMSI selected Deson & Co. as its financial advisor in connection with the Fairness Opinion because Deson & Co. is intimately familiar with the details of the transaction and its focus on technology-based companies. As part of its investment banking business, it regularly considers the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, private placements and investments.
 
In the ordinary course of business, Deson & Co. and its affiliates may actively trade in the securities of IMSI for their own accounts and the accounts of their customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in those securities.

Interests of Deson & Co. in the Merger
 
Deson & Co. and Sean Deson, CEO of Deson & Co., regularly conducts business with Baytree Capital Associates, LLC (“Baytree”) and Michael Gardner, Chairman and CEO of Baytree. As a result of Mr. Gardner’s current ownership in AcessMedia and pursuant to various agreements related to the Merger, Baytree and Mr. Gardner will be significant shareholders of IMSI. Deson & Co. or Mr. Deson may receive compensation from Baytree or Mr. Gardner related to the merger in addition to compensation received from IMSI. While Mr. Deson does not personally own shares of IMSI, Mr. Deson is the Managing Member of Treeline Management LLC, the General Partner of Treeline Investment Partners LP, which is an IMSI shareholder. Deson & Co. and its affiliates may actively trade in the securities of IMSI for their own account and the accounts of their customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold long or short positions in those securities.
 
Interests of Baytree in the Merger
 
Under the terms of its engagement, IMSI has agreed to pay Baytree, as a result of the Merger, a fee of 5% of the aggregate value of the closing consideration to be paid to the former AccessMedia shareholders, payable in IMSI shares, for services delivered in connection with the Merger, which totals 1.45 million shares of IMSI common stock (before giving effect to the reverse one-for-two stock split). IMSI has agreed to reimburse Baytree for its reasonable expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, and to indemnify Baytree and related parties against liabilities, including liabilities under federal securities laws, relating to, or arising out of, its engagement. In addition, IMSI has agreed to pay to Baytree 1.0 million shares of IMSI common stock (before giving effect to the reverse one-for-two stock split) for ongoing consulting services to be rendered through June 30, 2008. Over the past two years, IMSI has not paid to Baytree any other fees for banking and related services.
 
Mr. Gardner is a shareholder of AccessMedia and therefore has certain interests in the Merger separate and apart from Baytree's interest as IMSI's financial advisor. Baytree and its affiliates may actively trade in the securities of IMSI for their own account and, accordingly, may at any time hold long or short positions in those securities.
 
The IMSI Board of Directors was aware of and considered these interests when it approved the Merger.
 
 
Certain executive officers of IMSI and certain members of the IMSI Board of Directors may be deemed to have interests in the merger that are different from or in addition to the interests of IMSI shareholders generally. The IMSI Board of Directors was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in approving the Merger Agreement and the merger. Described below are the interests of executive officers of IMSI’s management and certain members of the IMSI Board of Directors.

· 
In June 2005, Martin R. Wade, III, Chief Executive Officer of IMSI was granted options to purchase 3.75 million shares of IMSI common stock (prior to giving effect to the proposed stock split) of which 100,000 shares vest upon completion of the transaction and 3.65 million shares vest upon AccessMedia's achievement of certain revenue milestones.
   
· 
IMSI has entered into an employment agreement with Robert O’Callahan, IMSI's Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to which Mr. O'Callahan will be entitled to a bonus in the amount of $25,000 upon effectiveness of the Proxy Statement and an additional $100,000 upon the closing of the Merger.
 
In the event any of the payments made to Messrs. Wade or O'Callahan would constitute a parachute payment as defined in section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and would subject Messrs. Wade or O'Callahan to an excise tax under the Code, then Messrs. Wade or O'Callahan are not contractually entitled to receive an additional payment which, when reduced by all taxes thereon, would provide them with sufficient cash to pay the amount of the excise tax owed on all such compensation.
 
Golden Parachute Payments
 
The acceleration of the vesting of stock options and share right awards in connection with the merger, together with any other payment contingent upon or made to an officer in connection with the Merger, such as severance benefits upon his or her subsequent termination of employment, may result in an “excess parachute payments” as defined in Section 280G of the Code. Excess parachute payments are not deductible in accordance with Section 280G. As a result, IMSI will not be entitled to a tax deduction for any amounts determined to be excess parachute payments. The amount of the lost deduction will depend on the value of the shares as a result of the Merger, the number of option shares or share right awards which vest on an accelerated basis in connection with the Merger, and the portion of any other payments or benefits deemed to be an excess parachute payment.

 
IMSI intends to account for the Merger as a “purchase” of AccessMedia by IMSI for financial reporting and accounting purposes, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The purchase accounting transaction will result in a purchase price in excess of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The purchase price is expected to be approximately $32 million. IMSI expects that the final purchase price will be determined after the completion of the Merger. The allocation of the purchase price among net tangible assets acquired, goodwill and other intangibles will be determined after the completion of the merger. Amortizable intangible assets, currently estimated at $15.5 million, will generally be amortized over the estimated useful lives with initial estimates ranging from 10 to 30 years, resulting in an estimated accounting charge for amortization attributable to these items of approximately $780,000 million on an annual basis for the first ten years. Goodwill resulting from the business combination will not be amortized but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually (more frequently if certain indicators are present). The amount of the estimated purchase price allocated to goodwill, which is based on certain assumptions, is estimated to be approximately $25.9 million.
 
If IMSI management should change the assumptions used in the allocation of the purchase price or the remaining estimated lives of the intangible assets, amounts allocated to intangible assets with definite lives may increase significantly or estimated lives may decrease significantly, which could result in a material increase in amortization of intangible assets. In addition, if IMSI management determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, the combined company will incur an accounting charge for the amount of impairment during the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made. The amounts listed in the above paragraph are only preliminary estimates, however, actual amounts may differ from these estimates.
 
 
If the Merger is completed, any holder of IMSI common stock as of the record date for determining shareholders entitled to vote on the Merger may, by complying with the provisions of California law, as applicable, require IMSI to purchase such holder's shares at their fair market value. The fair market value will be determined as of the date immediately prior to the first announcement of the terms of the proposed Merger, excluding any appreciation or depreciation as a consequence of the proposed Merger. The fair market value of shares of IMSI common stock may be more or less than the value of IMSI common stock to be held by other IMSI shareholders immediately after the Merger. IMSI shareholders who are considering asserting and exercising dissenters' rights should consult their legal advisors.
 
23

Appraisal under California law requires strict compliance with the procedures set forth in Chapter 13 of the California General Corporation Law. Failure to follow any of these procedures may result in a termination or waiver of dissenters' rights under California law. The applicable provisions of California law are summarized below. IMSI shareholders who choose to exercise dissenters' rights under California law must fully comply with the requirements of Chapter 13 of the California General Corporation Law.
 
Under the California General Corporation Law, an IMSI shareholder may be entitled to dissenters' rights with respect to his IMSI shares if such shares:
 
· 
were outstanding on the date of the vote to approve the Merger; and
   
· 
were not voted in favor of the Merger.
 
Within 10 days of approval of the Merger by IMSI shareholders, each shareholder who is entitled to dissenters' rights shall receive a notice of such approval and a statement of the price determined by IMSI to represent the fair market value of its capital stock. The notice will also describe the rights to which such shareholders are entitled and shall be accompanied by a copy of Chapter 13 of the California General Corporation Law (attached as Annex E to this Information Statement). Within 30 days of the date of the mailing of such notice, IMSI shareholders must assert their dissenters' rights by delivering a written demand to IMSI or its transfer agent. The written demand must set forth the number and class of shares that such shareholder desires to be repurchased and include a statement as to what such shareholder claims to be the true fair market value of such shares. The statement of fair market value will constitute an offer by such shareholder to sell his shares at the price indicated therein.
 
If the shareholder and IMSI agree upon the fair market value and the shares held by such IMSI shareholder qualify as dissenting shares, the IMSI shareholder will be entitled to the agreed upon price plus the legal rate of interest on judgments from the date of such agreement. If the shareholder and IMSI are unable to agree upon the fair market value of the shares or whether the shares qualify as dissenting shares, the shareholder may file a complaint in California Superior Court seeking a determination by the court of the fair market value of the shares and/or whether the shares qualify as dissenting shares. The complaint must be filed within six months of the date on which the notice of the approval of the Merger was mailed to IMSI shareholders.
 
After determining which shareholders are entitled to appraisal, the court will appraise the shares, determining their fair value exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger, together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. The court will then direct payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, to the dissenting shareholders. Any cash dividends declared and paid by upon the dissenting shares after the date of approval of the Merger by IMSI shareholders shall be credited against the total amount to be paid to the dissenting shareholders. The costs of proceedings may be determined by the court and shared by the parties as the court deems fit.
 
THE FOREGOING SUMMARY DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE STATEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 13 OF THE CALIFORNIA GENERAL CORPORATION LAW AND IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO SUCH CHAPTER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ATTACHED HERETO AS ANNEX E. IMSI SHAREHOLDERS WHO WISH TO EXERCISE DISSENTERS' RIGHTS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR LEGAL AND TAX ADVISORS.
 
 
The following discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, the regulations promulgated under the Code, and existing administrative interpretations and court decisions, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change could affect the continuing validity of the following discussion.
 
24

The merger of ACCM Acquisition Corp. (“ACCM”) into AccessMedia, and any subsequent merger of AccessMedia into IMSI, are intended to qualify under Sections 368 and 332 respectively of the Internal Revenue Code, in which case: (i) no gain or loss will be recognized by IMSI, ACCM, AccessMedia, or the IMSI shareholders, and (ii) the basis and holding period of the IMSI shareholders in their IMSI common stock will remain unchanged. If it were determined that the transactions did not qualify under Sections 368 or 332, no taxable gain or loss should be recognized by IMSI, ACCM, or the IMSI shareholders. Neither IMSI nor AccessMedia contemplates obtaining a tax opinion or requesting a ruling from the IRS in connection with the merger. Accordingly, IMSI shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences as a result of the Merger, including the applicable federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences.
 
This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to you in light of your particular circumstances or if you are subject to special rules. Moreover, the discussion does not address any non-income tax or any foreign, state or local tax consequences of the acquisition.
 
TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE CIRCULAR 230, IMSI STOCKHOLDERS ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF FEDERAL TAX ISSUES IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN BY US TO BE RELIED UPON, AND CANNOT BE RELIED UPON BY IMSI SHAREHOLDERS FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON IMSI SHAREHOLDERS UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; (B) SUCH DISCUSSION IS WRITTEN TO SUPPORT THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; AND (C) IMSI SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT
 
The following summary describes the material provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 16, 2005, as amended as of March 24, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among IMSI, AccessMedia, ACCM Acquisition Corp. (“ACCM”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of IMSI, and the shareholders of AccessMedia. This summary may not contain all of the information about the Merger Agreement that is important to you. The Merger Agreement is attached to this document as Annex A and is incorporated by reference into this document, and we encourage you to read it carefully in its entirety for a more complete understanding of the Merger Agreement, because it is the legal document that governs the Merger.
 
Generally
 
The Merger Agreement provides that at the closing of the Merger, ACCM will be merged with and into AccessMedia. Upon completion of the Merger, AccessMedia will continue as the surviving corporation and will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of IMSI.
 
Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation after the Merger
 
The directors and officers of IMSI will be the directors and officers of AccessMedia immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger.
 
Manner and Basis of Converting Shares of AccessMedia Common Stock into the Merger Consideration
 
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon completion of the Merger, IMSI will issue 29,000,000 shares of Common Stock of IMSI (before giving effect to the reverse one-for-two stock split) to AccessMedia shareholders, representing approximately 49.1% of the outstanding shares of IMSI. Following the closing, IMSI may issue up to an additional 35,000,000 shares (before giving effect to the reverse one-for-two stock split) to AccessMedia shareholders if AccessMedia achieves certain revenue milestones prior to December 31, 2008 (subject to certain extensions as provided in the Merger Agreement), representing approximately 68.0% in the aggregate to be held by former AccessMedia shareholders.
 
AccessMedia shareholders will be entitled to receive 23,200 shares of IMSI common stock (before giving effect to the reverse one-for-two stock split) for each share of AccessMedia common stock held by them at the effective time of the merger and up to 51,200 shares of IMSI common stock for each share of AccessMedia common stock held by them if AccessMedia achieves certain revenue milestones prior to December 31, 2008 (subject to certain extensions as provided in the Merger Agreement).
 
The additional issuances of IMSI common stock shall be paid in the amounts set forth below in the event that any of the revenue performance levels shall be obtained by AccessMedia during any of the time periods set forth below (as more fully set out in the Merger Agreement):

Each applicable earnout payment in the column entitled “Earnout Payment” shall be made to the AccessMedia shareholders on or prior to the 30th day following the applicable date in the column entitled “Target Date,” if the revenue performance level set forth therein is met by such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any revenue performance level is not met by the specified target date, the associated Earnout Payment may still be earned if AccessMedia achieves the applicable revenue performance level within six (6) months following the specified target date known as the "Grace Period". The listed revenue performance levels are cumulative. As a result, if on any specified target date (or by the Grace Period date associated with each such target date) the revenue performance level goal for that date is met, then the full cumulative amount of the Earnout Payments attributable to all revenue levels included within that amount will be payable at that time. In other words, if a revenue performance level is achieved by a target date, or by the associated Grace Period date, then the Earnout Payment owing at that time will include (a) the Earnout Payment with respect to such target date, and (b) any Earnout Payment relating to prior target dates that had not been earned prior to such date. For example, if AccessMedia does not achieve revenue of $20 million as of June 30, 2006 but does achieve revenue of $20 million prior to December 31, 2006 (six months following the first target date), the AccessMedia shareholders will be entitled to receive the Earnout Payment for the period ending December 31, 2006. If AccessMedia does not achieve revenue of $20 million by December 31, 2006, but does achieve revenue of $40 million as of September 30, 2007 (six months following the second target date), the AccessMedia shareholders will be entitled to receive the Earnout Payment for each of the first two target dates within 30 days of September 30, 2007.
 
Completion and Effectiveness of the Merger
 
We intend to complete the Merger no later than two (2) business days after all of the conditions to completion of the Merger contained in the Merger Agreement described in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement - Conditions to Completion of the Merger” beginning on page 38 of this document are satisfied or waived, including adoption of the merger agreement and approval of the Merger by the shareholders of IMSI. The Merger will become effective upon the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of California, or such later time as AccessMedia and IMSI agree and set forth in the certificate of merger.
 
33

We are working to complete the Merger as quickly as possible. We currently plan to complete the Merger during the second quarter of 2006. However, we cannot predict the exact timing because completion of the Merger is subject to governmental and regulatory approvals and other conditions.
 
 
In connection with the Merger, IMSI’s capital stock will be affected as follows:
 
· 
IMSI will issue 29,000,000 shares of Common Stock of IMSI to AccessMedia shareholders, representing approximately 49.1% of the outstanding shares of IMSI; and
   
· 
Following the closing, IMSI may issue up to an additional 35,000,000 shares to AccessMedia shareholders if AccessMedia achieves certain revenue milestones prior to December 31, 2008 (subject to certain extensions as provided in the merger agreement), representing approximately 68.0% in the aggregate to be held by former AccessMedia shareholders.

The representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement are complicated, are not identical as between IMSI and AccessMedia and are not easily summarized. You are urged to carefully read Articles III and IV of the Merger Agreement entitled “Representations and Warranties of the Company” and “Representations and Warranties of Parent and Merger Sub.”
 
Indemnification and Escrow Fund
 
Except as set forth below, the representations and warranties of AccessMedia and IMSI contained in the Merger Agreement generally survive for a period of 18 months following the closing.
 
The representations and warranties of AccessMedia contained in the Merger Agreement in Sections 3.1 (Organization and Good Standing), 3.2 (Capitalization), 3.4 (Authority and Enforceability), and 3.29 (Brokers or Finders) shall survive indefinitely. The representations and warranties of AccessMedia contained in Sections 3.10 (Taxes) and 3.20 (Employee Benefits) shall survive the Closing until 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period (after giving effect to any waivers and extensions thereof). The representations and warranties of AccessMedia contained in Section 3.22 (Environmental) shall survive the Closing for a period of 3 years following the Closing.
 
The representations and warranties of IMSI contained in the Merger Agreement in Sections 4.1 (Organization and Good Standing), 4.2 (Capital Structure), 4.4 (Authority and Enforceability), and 4.12 (Brokers or Finders) shall survive indefinitely. The representations and warranties of IMSI contained in Sections 4.8 (Taxes) shall survive the Closing until 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period (after giving effect to any waivers and extensions thereof).
 
IMSI and AccessMedia have agreed to indemnify the other party for beaches of their respective representations, warranties and covenants; provided, however, that neither IMSI nor AccessMedia shall be liable for any losses of the other unless and until the aggregate amount of losses for such party exceeds $50,000, in which event such party shall be entitled to all of its losses from the first dollar.
 
1,500,000 shares of IMSI common stock (before giving effect to the reverse one-for-two stock split) issuable to AccessMedia shareholders at the closing will be held in an escrow fund pursuant to an escrow agreement with an escrow agent and will be available to IMSI to satisfy any indemnification obligations of AccessMedia shareholders. One-third of the shares deposited into the escrow fund shall be released on each of the following dates: (i) six months after the closing date; (ii) 12 months after the closing date and (ii) 18 months after the closing date; provided, that in the event IMSI has made a claim under the indemnification provisions describe above, any shares in the escrow fund subject to such claim shall not be subject to release, and the foregoing calculation shall be based upon one-third of the remaining shares in the escrow fund.
 
36

 
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, IMSI entered into a joint operating agreement, under which IMSI agreed to loan AccessMedia up to $3,000,000 prior to the closing of the Merger pursuant to a joint operating plan and an operating budget to be delivered to a joint operating committee comprised of representatives of IMSI and AccessMedia. As of March [22], 2006, no amounts have been requested by AccessMedia nor advanced by IMSI under such joint operating agreement. At the effective time of the Merger, any promissory notes evidencing the loan and interest thereon will be surrendered to AccessMedia without payment and treated as a capital contribution to AccessMedia on its books and records. If the Merger Agreement is terminated, any promissory notes and interest thereon shall convert into the right to receive preferred stock of AccessMedia, the terms of which are set forth in the certificate of designation, the form of which is attached as an exhibit to the joint operating agreement, which is attached as Annex C to the Merger Agreement and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
After the Merger, IMSI agreed to provide up to $7,000,000 of additional working capital to AccessMedia to fund its working capital needs pursuant to a monthly budget to be mutually agreed upon by IMSI and the representative of the shareholders of AccessMedia.
 
The foregoing description of the material terms of the voting agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the joint operating agreement. The complete form of the joint operating agreement is attached as Annex C to this document and is incorporated into this document by reference. All IMSI shareholders are urged to read the form of the joint operating agreement carefully and in its entirety.
 
Additions to the IMSI Board of Directors
 
IMSI has agreed to increase the number of directors authorizing two additional directors, one of which is to be designated by AccessMedia shareholders’ representative and who shall be appointed to IMSI Board of Directors. AccessMedia intends to designate Kathryn Felice as its nominee on the IMSI Board of Directors. See "Management of AccessMedia Networks, Inc." beginning on page 11.
 
IMSI has agreed that, upon AccessMedia achieving revenue of $20,000,000 until the earlier of December 31, 2008 or the date on which the former shareholders of AccessMedia beneficially own a majority of common stock of IMSI, IMSI will nominate for election to its Board of Directors individuals designated by the representative of the AccessMedia shareholders in such numbers as would represent a majority of the Board of Directors of IMSI.
 
Employee Benefits for AccessMedia Employees
 
Following the completion of the Merger, IMSI agreed to take all reasonable actions necessary to allow eligible employees of AccessMedia that will be employees of the surviving corporation to participate in benefit programs which are substantially comparable to those maintained for the benefit of, or offered to, similarly situated employees of IMSI to the extent permitted by the terms of IMSI’s benefit plans; provided, however, that in the case of plans for which AccessMedia maintains a plan offering the same type of benefit, such participation need not be offered by IMSI until the corresponding plan of AccessMedia ceases to be available. IMSI will recognize employment services of each AccessMedia employee for purposes of eligibility and vesting (but not benefit accrual) under any IMSI benefit plan and each AccessMedia employee’s years of service with AccessMedia and any of its subsidiaries shall be otherwise recognized for all general employment purposes, including seniority, vacation, personal time and similar general employment purposes; provided, that any vacation time offered by IMSI in the calendar year of the closing to any AccessMedia employee shall be offset by any vacation time used by or paid to such employee by AccessMedia or any of its subsidiaries in the calendar year of the closing. In addition, IMSI will (a) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions, waiting periods and service requirements with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to AccessMedia employees under any group health plan sponsored by IMSI, except to the extent such preexisting conditions, exclusion, waiting period or service requirement had not been satisfied by any such AccessMedia employee as of the closing under a group health plan sponsored by AccessMedia or any of its subsidiaries; and (b) provide each AccessMedia employee with credit for any deductible, copayment and out-of-pocket limits applicable to such employees under any such group medical plan sponsored by AccessMedia or any of its subsidiaries and paid by the AccessMedia employee prior to the closing during the calendar year of the closing.
 
37

 
The respective obligations of AccessMedia and ACCM Acquisition Corp., on the one hand, and IMSI, on the other, to complete the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the following conditions:
 
 
·
the Merger Agreement shall have been adopted by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of AccessMedia; and
 
 
·
a governmental entity shall not have issued an order or taken any other action, in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the merger, which order is final and not appealable.

·
the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement made by AccessMedia shall be true and correct in all material respects at and as of the closing date of the Merger (except that any representations or warranties expressly made as of a specific date, would be measured as of such date);
 
 
·
AccessMedia shall have complied with all of its covenants and obligations under the Merger Agreement in all material respects;
 
 
·
There shall not have occurred any event, occurrence or change that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on AccessMedia and its subsidiaries taken as a whole;
 
 
·
less than 2% of the shares of AccessMedia common stock shall have elected to exercise appraisal rights;
 
 
·
Alchemy Communications, Inc. shall have entered into a five year agreement with AccessMedia in a form satisfactory to IMSI;
 
 
·
the escrow agent and a representative of the AccessMedia shareholders shall have entered into an escrow agreement;
 
 
·
the representative of the AccessMedia shareholders and the holders of not less than 95% of the shares of AccessMedia common stock shall have executed and delivered to IMSI a shareholders’ representative agreement;
 
 
·
IMSI shall have received a written opinion from counsel to AccessMedia;
 
 
·
AccessMedia shall have delivered to IMSI a certification of non-foreign status;
 
 
·
AccessMedia shall have delivered to IMSI resignations of its officers and directors; and
 
 
·
AccessMedia shall have delivered to IMSI a certificate of good standing from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and each of its subsidiaries' states of organization.
 
38

AccessMedia’s obligation to complete the Merger is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the following conditions:
 
 
·
the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement made by IMSI shall be true and correct in all material respects at and as of the closing date of the Merger (except that any representations or warranties expressly made as of a specific date, would be measured as of such date);
 
 
·
IMSI shall have complied with all of its covenants and obligations under the Merger Agreement in all material respects;

The Merger Agreement provides that, as a condition to IMSI's obligation to close, AccessMedia shall have entered into a five year services and support agreement with Alchemy Communications in a form satisfactory to IMSI. Alchemy is an affiliate of AccessMedia. It is intended that pursuant to the agreement, Alchemy will provide office and operating space, staffing technical services and consulting, bandwidth and hosting, network infrastructure and other related services. Given the scope of the proposed agreement, it would constitute AccessMedia's most significant vendor relationship in the foreseeable future. Alchemy's service level agreements and pricing will be equal to the best rates provided to Alchemy's other customers (other than not-for-profit corporations, charities, and similar entities who receive underwritten services from Alchemy) or, in the absence of this benchmark for a particular item, will be within the customary range of terms and rates as compared to the Los Angeles market.
 
Termination of the Merger Agreement
 
The Merger Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may be abandoned prior to completion of the Merger, whether before or after the adoption of the Merger Agreement by IMSI shareholders:
 
 
·
by mutual written consent of AccessMedia and IMSI;
 
 
·
by AccessMedia or IMSI if:
 
 
o
the Merger is not completed by May 30, 2006, except that this right to terminate the Merger Agreement is not available to any party whose action or failure to fulfill any of its obligations under the Merger Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Merger to occur on or before May 30, 2006; or
 
 
o
a governmental entity shall have issued an order or taken any other action, in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger, which order is final and not appealable.

by IMSI upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in the Merger Agreement on the part of AccessMedia or if any representation or warranty of AccessMedia has become untrue so that the condition to the completion of the merger regarding IMSI’s representations and warranties or covenants would not be met. However, if the breach or inaccuracy is curable by AccessMedia, then IMSI may not terminate the merger agreement for 30 days after its delivery of written notice to AccessMedia of the breach. If the breach is cured during those 30 days, IMSI may not exercise this termination right;
 
39

 
·
by AccessMedia upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in the merger agreement on the part of IMSI or if any representation or warranty of IMSI has become untrue so that the condition to the completion of the merger regarding IMSI’s representations and warranties or covenants would not be met. However, if the breach or inaccuracy is curable by IMSI, then AccessMedia may not terminate the merger agreement for 30 days after its delivery of written notice to IMSI of the breach.

THE VOTING AGREEMENTS 
 
Effective on December 16, 2005, Martin Wade, III, Chief Executive Officer of IMSI, Digital Creative Development Corp. and Baytree, holding an aggregate of less than 25% of the outstanding shares of IMSI common stock on such date, entered into voting agreements with AccessMedia.

Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of IMSI common stock must vote in favor of the Merger Agreement in order for it to be adopted and in order for the Merger to be approved.
 
The following is a description of the material terms of the voting agreements. The complete form of the voting agreements is attached as Annex B to this document and is incorporated into this document by reference. All IMSI shareholders are urged to read the form of the voting agreements carefully and in its entirety.
 
Under the IMSI voting agreements, Mr. Wade and Baytree, in their capacity as IMSI shareholders, agreed to vote, or cause the record holders of their IMSI securities to vote, the common stock of IMSI beneficially owned by them as of December 16, 2005, and any other securities of IMSI that become beneficially owned by them after December 16, 2005, in the following manner:
 
 
·
in favor of the Merger, adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;
 
 
·
against approval of any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of IMSI in the Merger Agreement;
 
40

 
·
in favor of electing Martin Wade, III and each individual nominated by the representative of the AccessMedia shareholders to become a member of the Board of Directors if IMSI following the Merger; and
 
 
·
in favor of electing a sufficient number of individuals to the IMSI Board of Directors nominated by the representative of the AccessMedia shareholders such that such individuals would represent a majority of the Board of Directors of IMSI after the date upon which AccessMedia achieves revenue of $20,000,000.
 
Under the IMSI voting agreements, each IMSI shareholder who is a party to an IMSI voting agreement delivered an irrevocable proxy to AccessMedia to vote the securities of IMSI owned by such shareholder in accordance with the terms of the IMSI voting agreement.
 
The obligations under the IMSI voting agreements will terminate on the earlier to occur of December 31, 2010 or on the date on which the former shareholders of AccessMedia beneficially own a majority of the outstanding Common Stock of IMSI.
 
 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AND ADOPTION OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT.
 
41

PROPOSAL THREE: CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME TO BROADCASTER, INC.
 
IMSI’s Articles of Incorporation currently specifies the name of the company as “International Microcomputer Software, Inc.” The IMSI Board of Directors is proposing an amendment to IMSI’s Articles of Incorporation to change the Company’s name to “Broadcaster, Inc.” If IMSI’s shareholders approve this proposal, IMSI’s Articles of Incorporation will be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

“FIRST: The name of the corporation is Broadcaster, Inc.”

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” changing the company name to “Broadcaster, Inc.”

While IMSI began as a software company, it has now begun to transform into an Internet media company. Therefore, the Board of Directors believes that “International Microcomputer Software, Inc.” is no longer reflective of IMSI’s business as it exists today. Changing IMSI’s name to “Broadcaster, Inc.” represents IMSI’s evolution from strictly a software company to an Internet media company.

Approval of the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation that is required to effect the change of the company name to “Broadcaster, Inc.” requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of IMSI common stock issued and outstanding as of the record date.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE CHANGE OF THE COMPANY NAME TO BROADCASTER, INC.


42

 
The shareholders are being asked to approve an amendment of the 2004 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) that will (i) increase the share reserve under the Option Plan from 4,000,000 shares of common stock to 10,500,000 shares of common stock and add certain provisions related to minimizing tax on option-related compensation and (ii) establish a limit on the number of shares of common stock for which options and direct stock issuances may be granted to any one participant in the Option Plan. The share reserve will be adjusted to reflect the reverse one-for-two stock split that is subject to approval under Proposal Five. This Proposal Four is conditioned on approval of the merger with AccessMedia under Proposal Two. in the event that Proposal Two is not approved by the shareholders, the Option Plan will not be amended as described in this Proposal Four.
 
The Board adopted the amendment on October 20, 2005, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting. The Board believes that proposed amendment to increase the share reserve will ensure that the Company continues to have a sufficient number of shares of common stock available for grant under the Option Plan and that grants are subject to the minimum required tax. The Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate officers and employees is material to the Company’s success and would be enhanced by the Company’s continued ability to grant equity compensation. The establishment of the limit on the number of shares of common stock for which any one person may be granted options and direct stock issuances will ensure that any deductions to which the Company would otherwise be entitled upon exercise of options granted under the Option Plan with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value per share of common stock on the granted date or upon the subsequent sale of shares purchased under those options will not be subject to the $1 million limitation on the income deductibility of compensation paid to the covered executive officers under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m).
 
The Option Plan was initially adopted on December 15, 2003, as the successor to the 1993 Incentive Option Plan (the “1993 Plan”). No options have been granted under the 1993 Plan since its termination on June 30, 2003; however, 1,312,032 shares of common stock are subject to outstanding options granted under the 1993 Plan prior to such termination. In addition to equity awards under the Option Plan and the 1993 Plan, warrants have been granted from time to time in conjunction with Board of Directors and employee compensation and consulting arrangements. The issuance of warrants is intended to help the Company attract and retain outstanding individuals and to assist the Company in retaining qualified service providers in certain specialized areas in order to promote the Company’s success. These warrants generally vest, and are exercisable, over periods ranging from one to four years from the date of grant. The exercise price of the warrants granted generally is equal to the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. As of December 31, 2005, 6,324,494 shares of common stock were subject to outstanding warrants with an average exercise price of $1.42 per share.
 
The following is a summary of the principal features of the Option Plan, as amended which is filed with the SEC as Annex G to this proxy statement. The following summary does not purport to be a complete description of all provisions of the amended Option Plan.
 
Equity Incentive Programs
 
The amended Option Plan consists of two equity incentive programs: (i) the Option Grant Program, and (ii) the Stock Issuance Program. The principal features of each program are described below.
 
The Compensation Committee of the Board administers the Plan. The Compensation Committee will be referred to in this summary as the “Plan Administrator.”
 
Share Reserve
 
A total of 10,500,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance over the term of the Option Plan (including the 6,500,000-share increase subject to approval under this proposal). The share reserve will be adjusted to reflect the reverse one-for-two stock split that is subject to approval under Proposal Five.
 
In no event may any one participant in the Option Plan be granted options and direct stock issuances for more than five million shares per calendar year beginning with the 2006 calendar year.
 
43

As of December 31, 2005, 3,194,536 shares of common stock were subject to outstanding options under the Option Plan, 708,390 shares of common stock had been issued under the Option Plan, and 97,074 shares of common stock remained available for future issuance.
 
The shares of common stock and stock issuable under the Option Plan may be drawn from shares of our authorized but unissued shares or from shares reacquired by us, including shares repurchased on the open market.
 
Shares subject to any outstanding options under the Option Plan that expire or otherwise terminate before those shares are issued will be available for subsequent awards. Unvested shares issued under the Option Plan and subsequently repurchased by us at the option exercise pursuant to our repurchase rights under the Option Plan, will be added back to the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Option Plan and will accordingly be available for subsequent issuance.
 
Eligibility
 
Officers, employees, non-employee members of the Board and independent consultants in the service of IMSI or its parent or subsidiaries, whether now existing or subsequently established, are eligible to participate in the Option Plan.
 
As of December 31, 2005, three executive officers, five non-employee members of the Board and sixty-four employees, consultants and others were eligible to participate in the Option Plan.
 
Valuation
 
The fair market value per share of our common stock on any relevant date under the Option Plan will be deemed to be equal to the closing selling price per share of our common stock on that date. On December 31, 2005 the fair market value determined on such basis was $1.14 per share.
 
Option Grant Program
 
The Plan Administrator has complete discretion under the Option Grant Program to determine which eligible individuals are to receive options under that program, the time or times when those options are to be granted, the number of shares subject to each such option, the time or times when each option is to vest and become exercisable, the maximum term for which the option is to remain outstanding and the status of any granted option as either an incentive stock option or a non-statutory option under the federal tax laws.
 
Each granted option will have an exercise price per share determined by the Plan Administrator, but in no event will such exercise price be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of the option shares on the grant date. No granted option will have a term in excess of ten years, and the option will generally become exercisable in one or more installments over a specified period of service measured from the grant date. However, options may be structured so that they will be immediately exercisable for any or all of the option shares. Any unvested shares acquired under those immediately exercisable options will be subject to repurchase, at the exercise price paid per share, if the optionee ceases service with IMSI prior to vesting in those shares.
 
Should the optionee cease service with IMSI, then he or she will have a limited period of time within which to exercise his or her outstanding options for any shares for which those options are vested and exercisable at the time of such cessation of service. The Plan Administrator will have complete discretion to extend the period following the optionee’s cessation of service during which his or her outstanding options may be exercised and/or to accelerate the exercisability or vesting of such options in whole or in part. Such discretion may be exercised at any time while the options remain outstanding, whether before or after the optionee’s actual cessation of service.
 
Repricing. The Plan Administrator has the authority to effect the cancellation of any or all outstanding options under the Option Grant Program and to grant in exchange new options covering the same or a different number of shares of common stock but with an exercise or base price per share not less than the fair market value per share of the common stock on the new grant date.
 
44

Stock Issuance Program
 
Shares of common stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program for such consideration as the Plan Administrator deems appropriate, including cash, part services or a promissory note. The shares may also be issued as a bonus for past services without any cash outlay required of the recipient. In addition, restricted shares of common stock may be issued that vest in one or more installments over the recipient’s period of service or upon attainment of specified performance objectives.
 
The Plan Administrator will have complete discretion under the Stock Issuance Program to determine which eligible individuals are to receive stock issuances under such program, the time or times when those issuances are to be made, the number of shares subject to each such issuance, the vesting schedule to be in effect for the issuance and the cash consideration (if any) payable per share.

New Plan Benefits
 
No option grants or stock issuances have been made on the basis of the proposed share increase.
 
General Provisions
 
Acceleration. In the event of an acquisition (whether through merger or a sale of assets), each outstanding option under the Plan will automatically accelerate in full, unless (i) that option is assumed by the successor corporation or (ii) the option is replaced with a cash incentive program that preserves the spread existing on the unvested shares subject to that option (the excess of the fair market value of those shares over the exercise in effect for the shares) and provides for subsequent payout of that spread in accordance with the same vesting schedule in effect for those shares. In addition, all unvested shares outstanding under the Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs will immediately vest upon the acquisition, except to the extent our repurchase rights with respect to those shares are to be assigned to the successor corporation. Each outstanding award under the Stock Issuance Program will vest as to the number of shares of common stock subject to that award immediately prior to the acquisition, unless that award is assumed by the successor corporation.
 
The Plan Administrator will have the discretion to structure one or more awards under the Option Plan so that those awards will vest in full either immediately upon an acquisition or in the event the individual’s service with us or the successor entity is terminated (actually or constructively) within a designated period following the acquisition.
 
The acceleration of vesting in the event of a change in the ownership or control of IMSI may be seen as an anti-takeover provision and may have the effect of discouraging a merger proposal, a takeover attempt or other efforts to gain control of IMSI.
 
Shareholder Rights and Option Transferability. The holder of an option will have no shareholder rights with respect to the shares subject to that option unless and until such person shall have exercised the option and become a holder of record of shares of Common Stock distributed upon exercise of such award. Options are not assignable or transferable other than by will or the laws of inheritance following the optionee’s death, and during the optionee’s lifetime, may only be exercised by the optionee.
 
A participant will have certain shareholder rights with respect to the shares of common stock issued to him or her under the Stock Issuance Program, whether or not his or her interest in those shares is vested. Accordingly, the participant will have the right to vote such shares and to receive any regular cash dividends paid on such shares, but will not have the right to transfer such shares prior to vesting.
 
46

Changes in Capitalization. In the event any change is made to the outstanding shares of Class A common stock by reason of any recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change in corporate structure effected without IMSI’s receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments will be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Option Plan and (ii) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding option. All such adjustments will be designed to preclude any dilution or enlargement of benefits under the Option Plan and the outstanding awards thereunder.
 
Amendment and Termination. The Board may amend or modify the Option Plan at any time, subject to any required shareholder approval. Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the amended and restated Option Plan will terminate on the earliest of (i) December 14, 2013, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Option Plan have been issued as fully-vested shares or (iii) the termination of all outstanding Options in connection with certain changes in control or ownership. Should the Option Plan terminate on December 14, 2013, all options and awards outstanding at that time shall continue to have force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the documents evidencing those awards.
 
Federal Income Tax Consequences
 
The following discussion summarizes income tax consequences of the Option Plan under current federal income tax law and is intended for general information only. In addition, the tax consequences described below are subject to the limitations of Section 162(m), as discussed in further detail below. Other federal taxes and foreign, state and local income taxes are not discussed, and may vary depending upon individual circumstances and from locality to locality.
 
Option Grants. Options granted under the Option Plan may be either incentive stock options, which satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, or non-statutory stock options, which are not intended to meet such requirements. The federal income tax treatment for the two types of options differs as follows:
 
Incentive Stock Options. No taxable income is recognized by the optionee at the time of the option grant, and, if there is no disqualifying disposition at the time of exercise, no taxable income is recognized for regular tax purposes at the time the option is exercised, although taxable income may arise at that time for alternative minimum tax purposes equal to the excess of the fair market value of the purchased shares at such time over the exercise price paid for those shares.
 
The optionee will recognize taxable income in the year in which the purchased shares are sold or otherwise made the subject of certain dispositions. For federal tax purposes, dispositions are divided into two categories: (i) qualifying and (ii) disqualifying. A qualifying disposition occurs if the sale or other disposition is made more than two years after the date the option for the shares involved in such sale or disposition was granted and more than one year after the date the option was exercised for those shares. If either of these two requirements is not satisfied, a disqualifying disposition will result.
 
Upon a qualifying disposition, the optionee will recognize long-term capital gain in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the amount realized upon the sale or other disposition of the purchased shares over (ii) the exercise price paid for the shares. If there is a disqualifying disposition of the shares, then the excess of (i) the fair market value of those shares on the exercise date over (ii) the exercise price paid for the shares will be taxable as ordinary income to the optionee. Any additional gain or any loss recognized upon the disposition will be taxable as a capital gain or capital loss.
 
If the optionee makes a disqualifying disposition of the purchased shares, IMSI will be entitled to an income tax deduction, for our taxable year in which such disposition occurs, equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of such shares on the option exercise date over (ii) the exercise price paid for the shares. If the optionee makes a qualifying disposition, we will not be entitled to any income tax deduction.
 
Non-Statutory Stock Options. No taxable income is recognized by an optionee upon the grant of a non-statutory option. The optionee will, in general, recognize ordinary income, in the year in which the option is exercised, equal to the excess of the fair market value of the purchased shares on the exercise date over the exercise price paid for the shares, and IMSI will be required to collect certain withholding taxes applicable to such income from the optionee.
 
47

IMSI will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of any ordinary income recognized by the optionee with respect to an exercised non-statutory option. The deduction will in general be allowed for our taxable year in which such ordinary income is recognized by the optionee.
 
If the shares acquired upon exercise of the non-statutory option are unvested and subject to repurchase in the event of the optionee’s cessation of service prior to vesting in those shares, then the optionee will not recognize any taxable income at the time of exercise but will have to report as ordinary income, as and when IMSI’s repurchase right lapses, an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of the shares on the date the repurchase right lapses over (ii) the exercise price paid for the shares. The optionee may elect under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code to include as ordinary income in the year of exercise of the option an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of the purchased shares on the exercise date over (ii) the exercise price paid for such shares. If the Section 83(b) election is made, the optionee will not recognize any additional income as and when the repurchase right lapses.
 
Direct Stock Issuances. The holder will recognize ordinary income in the year in which shares are actually issued to the holder. The amount of that income will be equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of issuance, and IMSI will be required to collect certain withholding taxes applicable to such income from the holder.
 
IMSI will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the holder at the time the shares are issued. The deduction will in general be allowed for our taxable year in which such ordinary income is recognized by the holder.
 
Deductibility of Executive Compensation
 
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally limits the corporate deduction for annual compensation deemed paid to covered executive officers to $1 million per individual, unless that compensation qualifies as performance based under Section 162(m). Following approval of this Proposal Four, option grants under the Option Plan with a per share price equal to at least the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date will qualify as performance based. Accordingly, we anticipate that any compensation deemed paid by us in connection with disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock option shares on the exercise of non-statutory options granted after approval of this Proposal Four with exercise prices equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the grant date will not have to be taken into account for purposes of the $1 million limitation under Code Section 162(m). However, any compensation deemed paid by the Company in connection with shares issued under the Stock Issuance Program will be subject to the $1 million limitation on deductibility per covered individual.
 
Accounting Treatment
 
Under the accounting principles currently in effect for the Company, option grants made to employees and non-employee Board members under the Option Plan with exercise prices equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the grant date will not result in any direct charge to our reported earnings. However, the fair value of those options is required to be disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, and we must also disclose, in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, the pro forma impact those options would have upon our reported earnings were the fair value of those options at the time of grant treated as a compensation expense. In addition, the number of outstanding options may be a factor in determining our earnings per share on a fully-diluted basis.
 
Option grants made under the Option Plan with exercise prices less than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the grant date will result in a direct compensation expense in an amount equal to the excess of such fair market value over the exercise price. The expense must be amortized against our earnings over the period that the option shares are to vest.
 
48

Option grants made to non-employee consultants will result in a direct charge to our reported earnings based on the fair value of the option measured on the vesting date of each installment of the underlying option shares. Such charge will include the appreciation in the fair value of option over the period between the grant date and the vesting date of each installment of that option.
 
Direct stock issuances under the Option Plan will result in a direct charge to our reported earnings equal to the excess of the fair value of the shares on the issuance date over the cash consideration (if any) paid for such shares. If the shares are unvested at the time of issuance, then any charge to our reported earnings will be amortized over the vesting period.
 
Effective with our fiscal year commencing July 1, 2007, we will be subject to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.123R. Accordingly, the foregoing summary of the applicable accounting treatment for stock options and stock appreciation rights will change, effective with our July 1, 2006 fiscal year, and the stock options which we grant to our employees and non-employee board members will have to be valued as of the grant date under an appropriate valuation formula, and that value will then have to be charged as a direct compensation expense against our reported earnings over the designated vesting period of the award. Similar option expensing will be required for any unvested options on the July 1, 2006 effective date, with the grant date fair value of those unvested options to be expensed against our earnings over the remaining vesting period. For direct stock issuances made under the Option Plan, we would continue to accrue a compensation cost equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the issuance date over the cash consideration (if any) paid for such shares. If the shares are unvested at the time of issuance, then any charge to our reported earnings will be amortized over the vesting period.
 
Required Vote
 
The affirmative vote of the holders of common stock representing a majority of the voting power of the outstanding common stock, present or represented by proxy and voting at the Annual Meeting, which shares voting affirmatively must also constitute at least a majority of the voting power required to constitute the Quorum, is required for approval of the amendment of the Option Plan.
 
Should such shareholder approval not be obtained or should Proposal Two not be approved, then the proposed share increase and the limitation on the number of shares for which awards may be made to any one person will not be implemented. The Option Plan will, however, continue in effect, and equity awards will continue to be made under the Option Plan until all the shares available for issuance under the Option Plan have been issued.
 
 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT OF THE 2004 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN.

PROPOSAL FIVE: REVERSE ONE-FOR-TWO STOCK SPLIT


Reverse Stock Split
 
Shareholders will be asked to authorize the Board of Directors in its discretion to effectuate a reverse one for two stock split of IMSI's common stock whereby each outstanding two (2) shares of common stock would be combined into and become one (1) share of common stock. The Board of Directors believes that it may be in the best interests of IMSI and its shareholders to effectuate the reverse stock split.

General. The Board of Directors seeks authorization to effect a reverse stock split of IMSI’s common stock if it deems it to be in the best interests of IMSI and its shareholders. Pursuant to a reverse stock split, each outstanding two (2) shares of common stock of IMSI would be combined into and become one (1) share of common stock of IMSI. Approval of this proposal will authorize the Board of Directors to implement a reverse stock split when and if it determines it is in the best interests of IMSI and its shareholders. The actual timing for implementation, if any, of the reverse stock split will be determined by the Board.

Purpose of the Reverse Stock Split. The principal reason for a reverse stock split would be to increase the per share trading price of our common stock, although there can be no assurance that the trading price of our common stock would be maintained at such level.

In evaluating whether or not to authorize the reverse stock split, in addition to the considerations described above, the Board of Directors will take into account various negative factors associated with a reverse stock split. These factors include: the negative perception of reverse stock splits held by some investors, analysts and other stock market participants; the fact that the stock price of some companies that have effected reverse stock splits has subsequently declined back to pre-reverse stock split levels; the adverse effect on liquidity that might be caused by a reduced number of shares outstanding; and the costs associated with implementing a reverse stock split.

In determining the reverse split ratio, the board will consider numerous factors, including the historical and projected performance of our common stock, prevailing market and industry conditions and general economic trends, and will place emphasis on the expected closing price of our common stock over the short and longer period following the effectiveness of the reverse stock split.

In addition, in determining to authorize the reverse split, the Board will consider that a sustained higher per share price of IMSI’s common stock, which may result from the reverse stock split, might heighten the interest of the financial community in IMSI and potentially broaden the pool of investors that may consider investing in IMSI, possibly increasing the trading volume and liquidity of our common stock or helping to mitigate any decrease in such trading volume and liquidity which might result from the reverse stock split.

The Board of Directors also believes that a higher per share market price for our common stock may help us attract and retain employees. The Board of Directors believes that some potential employees are less likely to work for a company with a low stock price regardless of the company’s market capitalization. However, again, there can be no assurance as to the market prices for our common stock after the reverse stock split or that increased market prices for our common stock will in fact enhance our ability to attract and retain employees.

Shareholders should recognize that if a reverse split is effected, they will own a number of shares equal to the number of shares owned immediately prior to the reverse stock split divided by two (2). While IMSI expects that the reverse split will result in an increase in the market price of its common stock, the reverse split may not increase the market price of IMSI’s common stock in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of its common stock outstanding or result in a permanent increase in the market price (which depends on many factors, including IMSI’s performance, prospects and other factors that may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding).

If a reverse stock split is effectuated and the market price of IMSI’s common stock declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of IMSI’s overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split. Furthermore, the liquidity of IMSI’s common stock could be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the reverse stock split. In addition, the reverse split will likely increase the number of shareholders of IMSI who own odd lots (less than 100 shares). Shareholders who hold odd lots typically will experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares, as well as possible greater difficulty in effecting such sales. Accordingly, a reverse stock split may not achieve the desired results that have been outlined above.

50

Number of Shares of Common Stock and Corporate Matters. The reverse stock split would have the following effects on the number of shares of common stock outstanding:

 
·
each two (2) shares owned by a shareholder immediately prior to the reverse split would become one (1) share of common stock after the reverse split;

 
·
the number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding would be reduced from approximately 30,107,540 shares to approximately 15,053,770 shares;

 
·
all outstanding but unexercised options entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of our common stock will enable such holders to purchase, upon exercise of their options, one-half (1/2) of the number of shares of our common stock that such holders would have been able to purchase upon exercise of their options immediately preceding the reverse stock split, at an exercise price equal to two (2) times the exercise price specified before the reverse stock split, resulting in approximately the same aggregate exercise price being required to be paid upon exercise thereof immediately preceding the reverse stock split; and

 
·
the number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance (including the maximum number of shares that may be subject to options) under our stock option plans will be reduced to one-half (1/2) of the number of shares currently included in such plans.

As a summary and for illustrative purposes only, the following table shows approximately the effect on our common stock of the reverse stock split, based on 15,053,770 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date and assuming the reverse stock split became effective at the close of business on the Record Date:

The authorized and unissued and unreserved shares would be available from time to time for corporate purposes including raising additional capital, acquisitions of companies or assets, for strategic transactions, including a sale of all or a portion of IMSI, and sales of stock or securities convertible into common stock. We currently have no plan, arrangement or agreement to issue shares of our common stock for any purpose, except for the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the Merger and pursuant to our stock option plans. If we issue additional shares, the ownership interests of holders of our common stock may be diluted.

The reverse stock split will affect all our shareholders uniformly and will not change the proportionate equity interests of our shareholders, nor will the respective voting rights and other rights of shareholders be altered, except for possible changes due to the treatment of fractional shares resulting from the reverse split. As described below, shareholders holding fractional shares will be entitled to cash payments in lieu of such fractional shares. Common stock issued and outstanding pursuant to the reverse stock split will remain fully paid and non-assessable.

51

Cash Payment in Lieu of Fractional Shares. If the stock split is implemented by the Board, IMSI will not issue fractional certificates for post-reverse stock split shares in connection with the reverse stock split. Shareholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold of record immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split a number of shares not evenly divisible by two (2) will be entitled, upon surrender to the exchange agent of certificate(s) representing such shares, to a cash payment in lieu thereof. The cash payment will equal the fraction to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the average of the closing prices (as adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split) of our common stock, as reported in NASDAQ Bulletin Board, during the twenty (20) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date on which the reverse stock split becomes effective. If such price is not available, the fractional share payment will be based on the average of the last bid and ask prices of our common stock on such days (as adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split) or other price determined by the Board of Directors. The ownership of a fractional interest will not give the holder thereof any voting, dividend or other rights except to receive payment therefore as described herein.

Shareholders should be aware that, under the escheat laws of the various jurisdictions where shareholders reside, sums due for fractional interests that are not timely claimed after the effective time may be required to be paid to the designated agent for each such jurisdiction. Thereafter, shareholders otherwise entitled to receive such funds may have to seek to obtain them directly from the state to which they were paid.

Procedure for Effecting Reverse Stock Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates. If the shareholders authorize the Board to effect the stock split and the Board determines that it is in the best interests of IMSI and the shareholders, the Board plans to effect the reverse stock split. At such “effective time,” each two (2) shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will, automatically and without any further action on the part of our stockholders, be combined into and become one (1) share of common stock, and each certificate which, immediately prior to the effective time represented pre-reverse stock split shares, will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-reverse stock split shares.

IMSI’s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Co., will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates, and is referred to as the “exchange agent.” As soon as practicable after the effective time, a letter of transmittal will be sent to shareholders of record as of the effective time for purposes of surrendering to the exchange agent certificates representing pre-reverse stock split shares in exchange for certificates representing post-reverse stock split shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal. No new certificates will be issued to a shareholder until such shareholder has surrendered such shareholder’s outstanding certificate(s), together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to the exchange agent. From and after the effective time, any certificates formerly representing pre-reverse stock split shares which are submitted for transfer, whether pursuant to a sale, other disposition or otherwise, will be exchanged for certificates representing post-reverse stock split shares. Shareholders who do not have stock certificates for surrender and exchange will have their accounts automatically adjusted in order to reflect the number of shares of common stock they hold as a consequence of the reverse stock split. SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

No Appraisal Rights. Under the California General Corporation Law, shareholders will not be entitled to exercise appraisal rights in connection with the reverse stock split.



THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE REVERSE TWO FOR ONE STOCK SPLIT.
 
52

PROPOSAL SIX: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
On the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors has appointed Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, to audit the consolidated financial statements of IMSI for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006, and recommends that shareholders vote for ratification of such appointment. In the event of a negative vote on such ratification, the Board of Directors will reconsider its selection.
 
Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, were retained pursuant to their engagement letter dated January 10, 2005. During IMSI's most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, there were no disagreements with Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP, would have caused Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports.

We expect representatives of Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP to be present at the meeting and such representatives will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so as well as to respond to appropriate questions.

Grant Thornton LLP Resignation

Grant Thornton LLP audited our financial statements for the fiscal year ended on June 20, 2004 and for the preceding five fiscal years. As previously disclosed in our filing on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2004, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of IMSI was notified on November 10, 2004 that Grant Thornton LLP, its independent registered accounting firm, resigned effective as of November 11, 2004.
 
The last two reports issued by Grant Thornton LLP on IMSI's financial statements for fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or any qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
 
During IMSI's fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 and through November 11, 2004, there were no disagreements with Grant Thornton LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton LLP, would have caused Grant Thornton LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports.
 
As required by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-B, IMSI furnished Grant Thornton LLP with the disclosures contained in the Form 8-K report and Grant Thornton LLP furnished IMSI with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission which stated that it agreed with the statements made by IMSI. A copy of Grant Thornton LLP's letter dated November 11, 2004 was included as Exhibit 16 to the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2004.
 
We do not expect representatives of Grant Thornton LLP to be present at the meeting.
 
Fee Disclosure
 
Prior to having Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP perform any service, audit or otherwise, the Audit Committee specifically reviews, with the assistance of management, the nature and purpose of those proposed services.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file with the Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of the Company's common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by the Commission's regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

We have been provided with copies of all forms 3, 4 and 5 filed by officers, directors, or ten percent shareholders within three days of such filings. With the exception of any filings which may be required to be filed by Monterey Bay Tech, Inc (formerly Aladdin Systems Holding, Inc.) and which have not been filed as of December 31, 2005, to the Company’s knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, all required Section 16(a) filings applicable to officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders in the twelve months ended June 30, 2005 and through December 31, 2005 were timely filed. 

The Audit Committee includes at least one member who is determined by the Board to meet the qualifications of an “audit committee financial expert” in accordance with SEC rules. Robert S. Falcone is the director who has been determined to be an audit committee financial expert. Shareholders should understand that this designation is a disclosure requirement of the SEC related to Mr. Falcone’s experience and understanding with respect to certain accounting and auditing matters. The designation does not impose on Mr. Falcone any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than are generally imposed on him as a member of the Audit Committee and Board of Directors, and his designation as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this SEC requirement does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or Board of Directors.

(1) All options granted in the year ended June 30, 2005 (other than the 160,000 share grant to Mr. Bush) were granted pursuant to IMSI’s 2004 Stock Incentive Option Plan (the “2004 Plan”). These options, which typically have a four-year vesting period, become exercisable over time based on continuous employment with the Company; and, in certain cases, are subject to various performance criteria or vest in full immediately.

(2) All options in this table have exercise prices equal to the fair market value on the date of grant.

(3) Potential gains are net of exercise price, but before taxes associated with exercise. These amounts represent certain assumed rates of appreciation only, based on the SEC rules. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises are dependent on the future performance of the common stock, overall market conditions and the option holder’s continued employment through the vesting period. The amounts reflected in this table may not necessarily be achieved. If there is no appreciation, there is no potential realizable value.

(4) Mr. Landies ceased to serve as our President effective February 28, 2006.

(5) Mr. Bush ceased to serve as our CFO effective June 30, 2005.

(6) Warrant with an expiration date of five years after termination of employment (termination assumed to be June 30, 2007).

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
 
Note Receivable from Related Party - DCDC 15% Note
 
On January 31, 2005, we sold the DCDC promissory note to Mag Multi Corp (Mag Multi), a New York corporation for $343,000, representing the principal balance and all accrued interest as of the date of the transfer. This amount was received in its entirety on February 10, 2005. The DCDC note was a 15% one-year note we received on September 18, 2003 from Digital Creative Development Corporation upon extending a loan to them in the amount of $350,000. This note was secured by 400,000 shares of IMSI’s stock held by DCDC and was originally due on September 18, 2004. The maturity of this note was subsequently extended to May 31, 2005 in exchange for a full payment of the then accrued interest, a payment of $25,000 against the principal amount and an increase in the collateral attached to the note.

The purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial reporting, the systems of internal control and the audit process; and by monitoring compliance with applicable laws, regulations and policies.
 
The Audit Committee will discuss and review with management and Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP, IMSI’s current independent registered public accounting firm, the unaudited interim statements for fiscal 2005 and the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005. Management is responsible for the quarterly and annual financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of our audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, we received from and discussed with Grant Thornton LLP the written disclosures and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, discussed Grant Thornton LLP’s independence with them, and discussed with Grant Thornton LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communications with Audit Committees, each as currently in effect.

  OTHER MATTERS
 
PROPOSALS OF SHAREHOLDERS
 
Fiscal year 2006 shareholder proposals or nominations. From time to time, shareholders of the Company submit proposals that they believe should be voted upon at the annual meeting or nominate persons for election to the Board of Directors. Pursuant to rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, some shareholder proposals may be eligible for inclusion in the company’s fiscal year 2006 proxy statement. Any such shareholder proposals must be submitted in writing to the secretary of the Company no later than June 30, 2006. Shareholders interested in submitting such a proposal are advised to contact knowledgeable counsel with regard to the detailed requirements of applicable securities laws. The submission of a shareholder proposal does not guarantee that it will be included in the company’s proxy statement.
 
MISCELLANEOUS
 
The Board of Directors is not aware that any matter other than those described in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders to which this Proxy Statement is appended will be presented for action at the meeting. If, however, other matters do properly come before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote the proxied shares in accordance with their best judgment on said matters.
 
It is important that proxies be returned promptly with instructions as to voting. Shareholders who do not expect to attend the meeting in person are urged to mark, sign, date and send in the proxies by return mail.
 
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
In this document we have made forward-looking statements in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on our estimates and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include statements about the consummation of the pending merger (see, for example, the information under the following captions: “Summary - Summary of the Merger,” “The Merger - IMSI’s Reasons for the Merger” and “The Merger - Opinion of IMSI’s Financial Advisor”). Forward-looking statements also include those preceded or followed by the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “hopes,” “targets” or similar expressions. For each of these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
 
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. The future results of the combined company could be affected by subsequent events and could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. If future events and actual performance differ from our assumptions, our actual results could vary significantly from the performance projected in the forward-looking statements. Except for ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to disclose any revisions to any forward-looking statements or to report events or circumstances after the date of this document.
 
You should understand that any number of factors could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements, including the following factors:
 
 
·
the risk that the merger might not be completed in a timely manner or at all;
 
 
·
failure of AccessMedia or IMSI to obtain required regulatory approvals to complete the merger;
 
 
·
diversion of IMSI management’s attention;
 
 
·
the risk of a material adverse effect on IMSI; or

THE MERGER
 
1.1 Termination of the Original Merger Agreement. Parent and the Company hereby terminate the Original Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(i) thereof.
 
1.2 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger in such form as is required by the relevant provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Delaware Code"), at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease (the "Merger").

1.3 Closing; Effective Time. The closing of the Merger (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, 2 Palo Alto Square, 3000 El Camino Real, Suite 700, Palo Alto, California 94306, at 10:00 a.m. on a date to be specified by the parties which shall be no later than two Business Days after satisfaction (or waiver as provided herein) of the conditions set forth in Article VIII (other than those conditions that by their nature will be satisfied at the Closing), unless another time, date and/or place is agreed to in writing by the parties.

Simultaneously with, or as soon as practicable following, the Closing, the Company as the surviving corporation shall file the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as provided in the Delaware Code.

As so amended and restated, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until amended thereafter in accordance with applicable Law.
 
(c) At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation (except that all references to Merger Sub in the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be changed to reflect the name change of Merger Sub), until amended thereafter in accordance with applicable Law.
 
(d) At the Effective Time, each of the directors and officers of Surviving Corporation shall be identical to the directors and officers of Parent immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold office until their respective death, permanent disability, resignation or removal or until his or her respective successor is duly elected and qualified, all in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and applicable Law.

ARTICLE II
 
CONVERSION OF SECURITIES
 
2.1 Effect on Company Capital Stock.
 
(a) The Company agrees that, prior to the Effective Time, all outstanding Company Common Stock Equivalents shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable therefor. "Company Common Stock Equivalents" means all Company Stock Options, Company Stock Options, warrants, purchase rights, subscription rights, conversion rights, exchange rights or any other Contracts that, directly or indirectly, could require the Company to issue, sell or otherwise cause to become outstanding equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. "Company Stock Options" means options to purchase equity securities of the Company's Common Stock, no par value per share (“Company Common Stock"). “Company Stock Options” means options to purchase equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.
 
(b) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any stockholder of the Company (each such stockholder, a "Company Stockholder"):
 
(i) each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than (A) Dissenting Shares as provided in Section 2.6 and (B) Treasury Shares as provided in Section 2.1(c)(ii), shall be converted into the right to receive and become exchangeable for, subject to Section 2.2(d), Section 2.9 and Section 10.3, (i) the Closing Consideration, and (ii) the Earnout Consideration. "Closing Consideration" means the number of shares of the Common Stock of Parent ("Parent Common Stock"), calculated as the quotient obtained by dividing (A) 29,000,000 by (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock (including Dissenting Shares but excluding Treasury Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the "Exchange Ratio"). "Earnout Consideration" means up to 35,000,000 shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.9 below, and calculated as the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.9 on account of the Revenue of the Surviving Corporation deemed to be attributable to the Company by (B) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (including Dissenting Shares but excluding Treasury Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Earnout Consideration, together with the Closing Consideration, shall mean the “Merger Consideration”. “Total Parent Shares” means the aggregate number of shares issued to the Company Stockholders as Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement;
 
(ii) each share of Company Common Stock held in the Company's treasury ("Treasury Shares") immediately prior to the Effective Time and each share owned by any Subsidiary of the Company shall not represent the right to receive any Merger Consideration, and each such share shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no cash, securities or other property shall be payable in respect thereof; and
 
A-4

(iii) each share of common stock of Merger Sub, par value $.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.
 
(c) In the event of any stock split, combination, reclassification, stock dividend or similar capitalization change with respect to Parent Common Stock prior to the Effective Time, or if a record date with respect to any of the foregoing is fixed, appropriate and proportionate adjustments shall be made to the Merger Consideration and the Exchange Ratio, and thereafter all references to the Merger Consideration and the Exchange Ratio shall be deemed to refer to such Exchange Ratio and Merger Consideration as so adjusted.
 
2.2 Exchange of Certificates.
 
(a) No later than five business days prior to the Closing, the Company shall furnish to Parent mailing labels or a computer file containing the names and addresses of the record holders of certificates representing Company Shares.
 
(b) Parent shall mail to each holder of record of Company Shares a letter of transmittal (the "Transmittal Letter"). Upon receipt of the documents described in paragraph (c) below, Parent shall issue certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 as of the Effective Time in respect of the Company Shares (other than Dissenting Shares). 
 
(c) Upon surrender to Parent of a certificate or certificates representing all of such Company Stockholder's outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (collectively, "Certificates"), together with (i) a duly executed Transmittal Letter, and (ii) an executed signature page to the Stockholders' Representative Agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the parties (the "Stockholders' Representative Agreement"), each Company Stockholder shall be entitled to receive, in exchange therefor, a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock which such Company Stockholder has the right to receive in respect of the Certificate surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, less the number of Escrow Shares allocable to such Company Stockholder that are deposited into the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof. Each Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. 
 
(d) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be delivered (i) to U.S. Bank, National Association, as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"), certificates representing the Escrow Shares subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.3 hereof; and (ii) to each Company Stockholder a certificate representing those shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such Company Stockholder which are not Escrow Shares. The Escrow Shares shall be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent and shall be available to compensate Parent for certain damages as provided in Article X.

(e) If any certificate representing shares of Parent Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the Certificate(s) so surrendered shall be properly endorsed for transfer (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer, and that the Person requesting such exchange shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of certificates for such shares of Parent Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall establish to the satisfaction of Parent that any such taxes have been paid or are not applicable.
 
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article II, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock will be issued and any holder of shares of Company Common Stock entitled hereunder to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that would otherwise be received by such holder) but for this Section 2.2(f) will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share of Parent Common Stock in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the average of the closing prices of Parent Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board as reported in The Wall Street Journal over the ten (10) trading days ending three (3) trading days prior to the Closing.
 
(g) None of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash or other property delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificates shall not have been surrendered prior to seven years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any payment pursuant to this Article II would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable, or cash payment determined in accordance with Section 2.2(f), in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.
 
2.3 Legends. The Merger Consideration will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act and may not be re-offered or resold other than in conformity with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such other Laws or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The Certificates shall be legended to the effect described above and shall include such additional legends as necessary to comply with applicable Law, “blue sky” Laws and other applicable restrictions and each Certificate shall bear the following legend:
 
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF (i) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT OR (ii) AN OPINION OF THE COMPANY’S COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”
 
2.4 Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares of Company Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no dividends or other distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock shall be paid with respect to any share of Company Common Stock or other securities represented by a Certificate until such Certificate is surrendered for exchange as provided herein. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate there shall be paid to the holder of certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (a) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock and not paid, less the amount of any withholding taxes which may be required thereon, and (b) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender thereof and a payment date subsequent to surrender thereof payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock, less the amount of any withholding taxes which may be required thereon. No holder of unsurrendered Certificates shall be entitled, until the surrender of such Certificate, to vote the shares of Parent Common Stock which such holder shall have the right to receive pursuant to this Article II.
 
A-6

2.5 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Company Common Stock owned by the Company Stockholders shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to each such share of Company Common Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented for transfer to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article II.
 
2.6 Lost Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the disbursement of the Merger Consideration in respect of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to make an affidavit of that fact containing such indemnification provisions as Parent may reasonably deem appropriate, including the posting of a standard bond required by Parent's transfer agent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate.
 
2.7 Dissenters' Rights.
 
(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Common Stock held by any Company Stockholder who shall have demanded and not lost or withdrawn, or who shall be eligible to demand, appraisal rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock in the manner provided in the Delaware Code ("Dissenting Shares") shall not represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration. If any Company Stockholder shall fail to perfect or shall effectively withdraw or lose his right to appraisal and payment under the Delaware Code, as the case may be, each share of Company Common Stock held by such Company Stockholder shall thereupon, in accordance with and subject to the provisions set forth in this Article II, represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration.
 
(b) The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other communications received by the Company in connection with any demands for appraisal. The Company shall not, except with the written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any such demands. Parent shall have the right to control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal, including the right to settle any such demands. To the extent that Parent or the Company makes any payment in respect of any Dissenting Shares, Parent shall be entitled to recover under Article X hereof (i) the aggregate amount by which such payment exceeds the Merger Consideration and (ii) any other costs and expenses, including attorney fees and expenses, incurred in connection with investigating, defending and settling such demands for appraisal (the amounts in clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, "Dissenting Share Payments").
 
A-7

2.8 Withholding. Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock or Dissenting Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of Company Common Stock or Dissenting Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent.
 
2.9 Earnout Payment.
 
(a) The Earnout Consideration shall be paid by Parent in an earnout payment to the Company Stockholders in the form of Parent Earnout Shares in amounts set forth below (in each case, an “Earnout Payment”), in the event that any of the following shall occur:
 
(i) during any of the time periods beginning as of May 1, 2005 and ending on the date listed in the Performance Target Schedule in the column entitled “Target Date” (subject to clause (ii) below), the Surviving Corporation’s Revenue (as defined below) is equal to or greater than the applicable amount indicated in the column entitled “Revenue Performance Level”:

A-8

The applicable Earnout Payment in the column entitled “Earnout Payment” shall be made to the Stockholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Company Stockholders, on or prior to the 30th day following the Target Date or following the date upon which a certain Revenue Performance Level is attained (“Attainment Date”) if the Attainment Date precedes the Target Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Earnout Payment may be earned if the Surviving Corporation achieves the applicable Revenue Performance Level within six (6) months following the Target Date. As used herein, “Revenue” shall mean the consolidated revenue of the Company beginning on May 1, 2005 and shall not include any revenue from Parent’s business or operations or any Baseline Amount (as provided in paragraph (b) below)."

(ii) If an Earnout Payment is earned on or before the specified Target Date, plus six (6) months, the total Earnout Payment will include (a) the Earnout Payment with respect to such Target Date, and (b) any Earnout Payments relating to prior measurement periods (in each case, an “Earnout Measurement Period”) that had not been earned prior to such date. For example, if the Surviving Corporation does not achieve Revenue of $20 million as of June 30, 2006 but does achieve Revenue of $20 million prior to December 31, 2006 (six months following the first Target Date), the Company Stockholders will be entitled to receive the Earnout Payment for the first Earnout Measurement Period within 30 days of December 31, 2006. If the Surviving Corporation does not achieve Revenue of $20 million by December 31, 2006, but does achieve Revenue of $40 million as of September 30, 2007 (six months following the second Target Date), the Company Stockholders will be entitled to receive the Earnout Payment for each of the first two Earnout Measurement Periods within 30 days of September 30, 2007.
 
(b)  Parent, with the Surviving Corporation, shall jointly endeavor to identify companies and technologies as potential acquisition targets in order to expedite the growth of the Surviving Corporation; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Parent shall not be obligated to take any action which it believes is not in the best interests of Parent and all of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; and provided, further, with respect to each such acquisition, only Excess Revenue (as defined below) shall be included for purposes of determining Revenue for purposes of this Section 2.9. As used herein, “Excess Revenue” means the total revenue achieved by such acquisition target during any applicable measuring period, less the Baseline Revenue (as defined below). As used herein, “Baseline Revenue” means the aggregate revenue of an acquisition target generated, in the good faith determination of Parent, during the twelve months immediately prior to and ending on the date of such acquisition (the “Baseline Measurement Period”). In the event an Earnout Measurement Period is shorter than twelve months, then the Excess Revenue shall be calculated based upon the revenue of the acquisition target for such shorter period, less the portion of Baseline Revenue earned by the acquisition target during the comparable portion of the Baseline Measurement Period.
 
A-9

(c) Audit Procedures.
 
(i) Unless the applicable Earnout Payment shall have previously been made, within thirty-five (35) days after each of the dates listed in the column entitled “Target Date” in the Performance Target Schedule, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative a statement of Revenue for each such measurement period, as indicated in the Performance Target Schedule (the “Statement of Revenue”). 
 
(ii) The Stockholders’ Representative shall have a period commencing upon delivery of the Statement of Revenue by Parent and expiring forty-five (45) days after such delivery date to review the Statement of Revenue. During such period, Parent shall permit the Stockholders’ Representative and its agents or representatives, during normal business hours, to have full and complete access to, and to examine, all work papers and schedules that are or were necessary to prepare and/or review the Statement of Revenue. In the event the Stockholders’ Representative disputes any determination contained in the Statement of Revenue, the Stockholders’ Representative shall, within forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Statement of Revenue, deliver a notice to Parent (the “Earnout Dispute Notice”), setting forth in reasonable detail the component or components which are in dispute and the basis of such dispute. If the Stockholders’ Representative fails to deliver an Earnout Dispute Notice to Parent within forty-five (45) days after Parent’s delivery of the Statement of Revenue, then the Stockholders’ Representative shall be bound by the calculations contained in the Statement of Revenue, and the Statement of Revenue shall be deemed to be the Final Statement of Revenue (as defined below) for the applicable Earnout Measurement Period, and any required payments shall be made pursuant to subsection (j) or (k) above based on such Final Statement of Revenue for each respective Earnout Measurement Period. If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers the Earnout Dispute Notice within such forty-five (45) day period, then the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent will negotiate in good faith (with the assistance of their respective independent accountants and counsel, if desired) to resolve any such dispute within fifteen (15) days after receipt by Parent of the Earnout Dispute Notice. If Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative fail to resolve any such dispute within fifteen (15) days after receipt by Parent of the Earnout Dispute Notice, they shall submit the dispute to an independent accounting firm (other than Burr, Pilger & Mayer) (the “Reviewing Accountant”) to review the Statement of Revenue; provided, however, that Parent shall pay any undisputed Earnout Consideration it believes is owed to the Company’s stockholders. Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall make available to the Reviewing Accountant all work papers and all other information and material in their possession relating to the matters in the Earnout Dispute Notice. The Reviewing Accountant shall be instructed to use its reasonable best efforts to deliver its determination as promptly as practicable after such submission of the dispute to the Reviewing Accountant. The Parties hereby expressly agree that the determination of the Reviewing Accountant shall be final and binding on the parties (absent fraud or manifest bad faith by the Reviewing Accountant). The Statement of Revenue, as determined by Parent (if not disputed), or as modified (if at all) by agreement of Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative or by decision of the Reviewing Accountant, shall be referred to herein as the “Final Statement of Revenue” for each respective Earnout Measurement Period. Each party shall bear its own expenses and the fees and expenses of its own representatives and experts, including its independent accountants, in connection with the preparation, review, dispute (if any) and final determinations contained in the Final Statement of Revenue. The costs, expenses and fees of the Reviewing Accountant shall be borne by the Stockholders’ Representative, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, based on the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to such party bears to the amount actually contested by such party.
 
A-10

(iii) Within fifteen (15) days after the Final Statement of Revenue for each respective Earnout Measurement Period has become final and binding on the parties pursuant to this subsection (l), the Earnout Consideration, if any, payable in accordance with subsection (j) or (k) above will be immediately due and payable by Parent to the Stockholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Company Stockholders.
 
(d) Earnout Consideration. The right of each Company Stockholder to receive any Earnout Consideration (i) will not be represented by any form of certificate or instrument; (ii) will not give such Company Stockholder any dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation rights, preemptive rights or other rights common to holders of the securities of Parent; (iii) will not be redeemable; and (iv) will not be sold, assigned, pledged, gifted, conveyed, transferred or otherwise disposed of, except pursuant to the applicable laws of descent and distribution. Any transfer of any right to receive any Earnout Consideration in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void. The Earnout Consideration is solely a contractual right established by this Agreement, and such contractual right is not a security for purposes of any federal or state securities laws.

COVENANTS OF PARENT
 
6.1 Benefit Plans. Parent shall take all reasonable actions necessary to allow eligible employees of the Company that will be employees of the Surviving Corporation (“Transitioned Employees”), to participate in benefit programs which are substantially comparable to those maintained for the benefit of, or offered to, similarly situated employees of Parent, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, to the extent permitted by the terms of such Parent benefit plan or any insurance contract or agreement applicable thereto; provided, however, that in the case of plans for which the Company maintains a plan offering the same type of benefit, such participation need not be offered by Parent until the corresponding plan of the Company ceases to be available or is terminated after the Effective Time. Parent will recognize employment services of each Transitioned Employee with the Company for purposes of eligibility and vesting (but not benefit accrual) under any benefit plan of Parent. Each Transitioned Employee’s years of service with the Company and any of its Subsidiaries shall be otherwise recognized for all general employment purposes, including seniority, vacation, personal time and similar general employment purposes; provided, that any vacation time offered by Parent in the calendar year of the Effective Time to any Transitioned Employee shall be offset by any vacation time used by or paid to a Transitioned Employee by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the calendar year of the Effective Time. In addition, Parent will (a) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions, waiting periods and service requirements with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to Transitioned Employees under any group health plan sponsored by Parent, except to the extent such preexisting conditions, exclusion, waiting period or service requirement had not been satisfied by any such Transitioned Employee as of the Effective Time under a group health plan sponsored by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (b) provide each Transitioned Employee with credit for any deductible, copayment and out-of-pocket limits applicable to such employees under any such group medical plan sponsored by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and paid by the Transitioned Employee prior to the Effective Time during the calendar year of the Effective Time.

The Lockup Agreements shall have a term of twelve months but shall permit each party to sell no more than two percent (2%) of such party’s Parent Shares in any two-month period, unless a greater amount is permitted by Baytree Capital, in any such two month period on a pro rata basis, based on its determination of the lack of an adverse effect of any such increase on the trading of Parent Common Stock in the public market. Parent agrees that, with respect to any acquisitions that occur while Company Stockholders are bound by the terms of the Lockup Agreements, the principal shareholders of any company acquired by Parent will be required to execute lockup agreements containing terms that are no more favorable to such shareholders than the terms contained in the Lockup Agreements.

6.5 Parent Board of Directors.
 
(a) Effective as of the Closing, Parent will cause two additional directors to be authorized, one of which shall be designated by the Stockholders’ Representative and appointed to Parent’s Board of Directors. Thereafter until the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2008, and (ii) the applicability of Section 6.5(b) below, Parent will continue to nominate for election one director designated by the Stockholders’ Representative.

(c) The representations and warranties of Parent contained in Sections 4.1 (Organization and Good Standing), 4.2 (Capital Structure), 4.4 (Authority and Enforceability), and 4.12 (Brokers or Finders) shall survive indefinitely. The representations and warranties of Parent contained in Sections 4.8 (Taxes) shall survive the Closing until 60 days after the expira-tion of the applicable statute of limitations period (after giving effect to any waivers and extensions thereof).
 
(d) The period for which a representation or warranty, covenant or agreement survives the Closing is referred to herein as the “Applicable Survival Period.” In the event a Notice of Claim for indemnification under Section 10.2 is given within the Applicable Survival Period, the representation or warranty, covenant or agreement that is the subject of such indemnification claim (whether or not formal legal action shall have been commenced based upon such claim) shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally resolved. The Indemnitor shall indemnify the Indemnitee for all Losses (subject to the limitations set forth herein, if applicable) that the Indemnitee may incur in respect of such claim, regardless of when incurred.
 
10.2 Indemnification by Company Stockholders.
 
(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X, each Company Stockholder (collectively, the “Parent Indemnitors”) shall indemnify and defend Parent and its Affiliates and their respective stockholders, members, managers, officers, directors and employees (collectively, the “Parent Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold them harmless from, any and all losses, damages, claims (including third party claims), charges, interest, penalties, taxes, diminution in value, costs and expenses (including legal, consultant, accounting and other professional fees, costs of sampling, testing, investigation, removal, treatment and remediation of contamination and fees and costs incurred in enforcing rights under this Section 10.2) (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from, arising out of, or incurred by any Parent Indemnitee in connection with, or otherwise with respect to:
 
(i) the failure of any representation and warranty or other statement by the Company contained in this Agreement or any certificate or other document furnished or to be furnished to Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby to be true and correct in all respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date;
 
(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement or any certificate or other document furnished or to be furnished to Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; and
 
A-63

(iii) Dissenting Share Payments.
 
Any and all Losses hereunder shall bear interest from the date incurred until paid at the rate of 6% per annum.
 
(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X, Parent shall indemnify and defend the Company Stockholders and each of them and their Affiliates and their respective stockholders, members, managers, officers, directors and employees (collectively, the “Company Stockholder Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold them harmless from, any and all Losses resulting from, arising out of, or incurred by any Parent Indemnitee in connection with, or otherwise with respect to:
 
(i) the failure of any representation and warranty or other statement by Parent contained in this Agreement or any certificate or other document furnished or to be furnished to the Company or such stockholders in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby to be true and correct in all respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date;
 
(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Parent contained in this Agreement or any certificate or other document furnished or to be furnished to Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
Any and all Losses hereunder shall bear interest from the date incurred until paid at the rate of 6% per annum.
 
(c) Parent Indemnitees and Company Stockholder Indemnitees are referred to as “Indemnitees” as the context requires and Parent Indemnitors and Parent are referred to as “Indemnitor(s)” as the context requires. No Indemnitor shall be liable for any Loss or Losses pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) or Section 10.2(b)(i) (“Warranty Losses”) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Warranty Losses incurred by the Indemnitees exceeds $50,000 (the “Indemnification Threshold”), in which event such Indemnitor(s) shall be liable for all Warranty Losses from the first dollar. In addition, no liability for any Warranty Loss hereunder shall exceed 5,000,000 shares of Parent’s common stock, and in the event of any indemnification required hereunder, an Indemnitor may deliver Parent Common Stock to satisfy any indemnification obligation hereunder. In such case, each share of Parent Common Stock shall be valued at the higher of the value on the Closing Date or the value on the date the parties determine that such indemnification is required (the “Indemnification Date”). In the later case, the value shall be determined by the average bid and ask prices of Parent Common Stock during the thirty (30) day period prior to Indemnification Date. 
 
(d) Nothing contained in this Article X shall be deemed to limit or restrict in any manner any rights or remedies which Parent or the Company or the Company Stockholders have, or might have, at Law, in equity or otherwise, based on fraud or a willful misrepresentation or willful breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or certificate or other document furnished or to be furnished to such party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
A-64

(e) The adoption of this Agreement by each party hereto and its Stockholders constitutes approval of the indemnification obligations set forth in this Article X.
 
10.3 Escrow Fund.
 
(a) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent a certificate or certificates representing the Escrow Shares. The term “Escrow Shares” means an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Parent Common Stock plus any shares as may be issued upon any stock split, stock dividend or similar recapitalization with respect to such shares. The Escrow Shares allocable to each Company Stockholder shall be equal to the aggregate number of Escrow Shares multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to each such Company Stockholder pursuant to the Merger and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to all Company Stockholders pursuant to the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no shares of Parent Common Stock will be deposited into the Escrow Fund with respect to Dissenting Shares (and the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to such Dissenting Shares shall not be included in the foregoing calculation) unless and until the Company Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost his right to appraisal and payment under the Delaware Code, as the case may be, with respect to such Dissenting Shares. The Escrow Shares, together with any and all income and proceeds thereon, shall be referred to hereinafter as the “Escrow Fund.” The Escrow Fund shall be available to compensate the Parent Indemnitees pursuant to the indemnification obligations of the Indemnitors.
 
(b) The Escrow Fund shall be held and disbursed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Subject to and in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, once the Indemnification Threshold has been reached, the full amount of all Losses (aggregating all of the claims against the Indemnitors) shall be subject to indemnification from the first dollar and a number of Escrow Shares shall be released to Parent from the Escrow Fund that have an aggregate value equal to the amount of all such Losses. The value of the Escrow Shares shall be computed, with respect to Losses attributable to each respective claim, on the basis of the closing price of Parent Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the Closing (the “Indemnity Stock Price”). Any Escrow Shares that are disbursed from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of any claim shall be drawn pro rata from the Escrow Shares allocable to the Company Stockholders in accordance with their respective interests therein as set forth in Exhibit A to the Escrow Agreement. 
 
(c) The Indemnitors acknowledge and agree that, if the Surviving Corporation suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Losses as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Surviving Corporation as a Parent Indemnitee) Parent shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the stock of the Surviving Corporation, to have incurred Losses as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach.
 
(d) One-third of the Escrow Shares shall be released from the Escrow Fund on each of the following dates: (i) six months after the Closing Date; (ii) 12 months after the Closing Date and (ii) 18 months after the Closing Date; provided, that in the event Parent has made a claim under the indemnification provisions herein, any Escrow Shares subject to such claim shall not be subject to release, and the foregoing calculation shall be based upon one-third of the remaining Escrow Shares.
 
A-65

10.4 Third Party Claims.
 
(a) In the event that an Indemnitee receives notice of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any Action by a third party in respect of which indemnity may be sought under the provisions of this Article X (“Third Party Claim”), such party shall notify the other parties hereto, including, if appropriate, the Stockholders’ Representative, in writing of such Third Party Claim (“Notice of Claim”) and concurrently therewith shall send a duplicate copy of such Notice of Claim to the Escrow Agent. The Notice of Claim shall set forth: (i) that an Indemnitee has incurred Losses or anticipates that it will incur Losses for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) the amount of such Losses, if known, or, if not known, an estimate of the foreseeable maximum amount of such Losses (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Losses); (iii) a description of the basis for such Third Party Claim; and (iv) if the amount of such Losses is known, the number of Escrow Shares, if applicable, to be disbursed by the Escrow Agent to the Indemnitee in satisfaction of such Third Party Claim based on the Indemnity Stock Price and, if the amount of such Losses is not known, the number of Escrow Shares, if applicable to be disbursed by the Escrow Agent to the Indemnitee in satisfaction of such Third Party Claim based on the Indemnity Stock Price and the estimate of the foreseeable maximum amount of such Losses (which number of Escrow Shares shall not be conclusive of the final number of Escrow Shares to be disbursed in satisfaction of such Third Party Claim). Failure or delay in notifying the other parties hereto will not relieve the Indemnitors of any liability they may have to the Indemnitee, except and only to the extent that such failure or delay causes actual harm to the Indemnitors with respect to such Third Party Claim. 
 
(b) Subject to the further provisions of this Section 10.4, the Indemnitor will have 10 Business Days (or less if the nature of the Third Party Claim requires) from the date on which the Indemnitor received the Notice of Claim to notify the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor will assume the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice (reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee) and at its sole cost and expense (a “Third Party Defense”). If the Indemnitor assumes the Third Party Defense in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Indemnitors shall be conclusively deemed to have acknowledged that the Third Party Claim is within the scope of their indemnity obligation hereunder and shall hold the Indemnitee harmless from and against the full amount of any Losses resulting therefrom (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement). Any Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the Indemnitors unless (A) the Indemnitor shall have failed, within the time after having been notified by the Indemnitee of the exist-ence of the Third Party Claim as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph (b), to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, or (ii) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnitor, which authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld.
 
A-66

(c) The Indemnitor will not be entitled to assume the Third Party Defense if:
 
(i) a Third Party Claim seeks, in addition to or in lieu of monetary damages, any injunctive or other equitable relief (except where non-monetary relief is merely incidental to a primary claim or claims for monetary damages);
 
(ii) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceed-ing, action, indictment, allegation or investigation;
 
(iii) with respect to any Action in which Parent is Indemnitee, the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any Environmental Action;
 
(iv) under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue exists between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor in respect of such Third Party Claim;
 
(v) with respect to any Action in which Parent is Indemnitee, the Third Party Claim involves a material customer or supplier of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
 
(vi) upon petition by the Indemnitee, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnitor failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such Third Party Claim; or
 
(vii) with respect to any Action in which Parent is Indemnitee, the amount of claimed Losses subject to all outstanding Notices of Claim exceeds the value of the Escrow Shares (calculated on the basis of the Indemnity Stock Price) remaining in the Escrow Fund.
 
(d) If by reason of the Third Party Claim a lien, attachment, garnishment or execution is placed upon any of the property or assets of such Indemnitee, the Indemnitor, if it desires to exercise its right to assume such Third Party Defense, must furnish a satisfactory indemnity bond to obtain the prompt release of such lien, attachment, garnishment or execution.
 
(e) If the Indemnitor assumes a Third Party Defense, it will take all steps necessary in the defense, prosecution, or settlement of such claim or litigation and the Indemnitors shall reimburse the Indemnitees promptly for any and all Losses caused by or arising out of such Third Party Claim (subject to the last sentence of Section 10.4(b)). The Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement except with the written consent of the Indemnitee; provided, however, the consent of the Indemnitee shall not be required if all of the following conditions are met: (i) the terms of the judgment or proposed settlement include as an unconditional term thereof the giving to the Indemnitee by the third party of a release of the Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim; (ii) there is no finding or admission of (A) any violation of Law by the Indemnitee (or any Affiliate thereof), (B) any violation of the rights of any Person and (C) no effect on any other Action or claims of a similar nature that may be made against the Indemnitee (or any Affiliate thereof); and (iii) the sole form of relief is monetary damages which are paid in full by the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor shall conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently, and the Indemnitee will provide reasonable cooperation in the defense of the Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall have the right to pay or settle any Third Party Claim, provided that in such event, subject to the following sentence, it shall waive any right to indemnity therefor by the Indemnitors for such claim unless the Indemnitor shall have consented to such payment or settlement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the Indemnitor is not reasonably conducting the Third Party Defense in good faith, the Indemnitee shall have the right to consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee and the Indemnitors shall reimburse the Indemnitee promptly for all Losses incurred in connection with such judgment or settlement.
 
A-67

(f) In the event that (i) an Indemnitee gives Notice of Claim to the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor fails or elects not to assume a Third Party Defense which the Indemnitor had the right to assume under this Section 10.4 or (ii) the Indemnitor is not entitled to assume the Third Party Defense pursuant to this Section 10.4, the Indemnitee shall have the right, with counsel of its choice, to defend, conduct and control the Third Party Defense, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitors. In each case, the Indemnitee shall conduct the Third Party Defense actively and diligently, and the Indemnitee will provide reasonable cooperation in the Third Party Defense and, if appropriate, use his commercially reasonable efforts to cause the former Company Stockholders to cooperate in the Third Party Defense. The Indemnitee shall have the right to consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim on such terms as it may deem appropriate; provided, however, that the amount of any settlement made or entry of any judgment consented to by the Indemnitee without the consent of the Indemnitee Representative shall not be determinative of the validity of the claim against the Escrow Fund, except with the consent of the Indemnitor (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding Section 11.5 hereof, in connection with any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor hereby consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which an Action in respect of a Third Party Claim is brought against any Indemnitee for purposes of any claim that an Indemnitee may have under this Article X with respect to such Action or the matters alleged therein and agrees that process may be served on the Indemnitor with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world. If the Indemnitor does not elect to assume a Third Party Defense which it has the right to assume hereunder, the Indemnitee shall have no obligation to do so.
 
10.5 Non-Third Party Claims. Indemnitee will send a Notice of Claim to the Indemnitor promptly following discovery by any Indemnitee of any matter that gives rise to a claim of indemnity pursuant hereto and that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against it. Concurrently therewith if the Indemnitee is Parent, it shall send a duplicate copy of such Notice of Claim to the Escrow Agent. Failure or delay in notifying the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitors of any liability they may have to the Indemnitee, except and only to the extent that such failure or delay causes actual harm to the Indemnitors with respect to such claim. The Indemnitor will reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnitee in determining the validity of the claim for indemnity.
 
10.6 Claims Upon Escrow Fund. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X, if the Stockholders’ Representative does not timely give notice to Parent and the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement that it disputes the claim for indemnity that is subject to the Notice of Claim, the Losses specified in such Notice of Claim will be conclusively deemed Losses subject to indemnification hereunder and the Escrow Agreement. In the event that the Stockholders’ Representative timely gives notice to Parent and the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement that he disputes such claim, the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement; provided that the Stockholders’ Representative shall not be entitled to dispute a Parent Indemnitee’s right to indemnification with respect to a Third Party Claim if the Stockholders’ Representative has assumed the Third Party Defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 10.4(b).
 
A-68

10.7 Contingent Claims. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent an Indemnitee from making a claim hereunder for potential or contingent claims or demands; provided that the Notice of Claim sets forth the specific basis for any such contingent claim to the extent then feasible and the Indemnitee has reasonable grounds to believe that such a claim may be made.
 
10.8 Effect of Investigation; Waiver.
 
(a) An Indemnitee’s right to indemnification or other remedies based upon the representations and warranties and covenants and agreements of the other parties will not be affected by any investigation, knowledge or waiver of any condition by the Indemnitee. Such representations and warranties and covenants and agreements shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee knew or should have known that any representation or warranty might be inaccurate or that the other party failed to comply with any agreement or covenant. Any investigation by such party shall be for its own protection only and shall not affect or impair any right or remedy hereunder.
 
(b) The waiver by any Indemnitee of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or compliance with any covenant or agreement, will not affect any right to indemnification or other remedy based on such representations and warranties and covenants and agreements unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Indemnitee.

To the maximum extent permitted by Law, (a) no waiver that may be given by a party shall be applicable except in the specific instance for which it was given and (b) no notice to or demand on one party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand.

(a) Line of Credit Established. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, commencing on the date hereof and expiring on the Termination Date, IMSI hereby agrees, from time to time during the Term, to extend one or more Advances, the aggregate of which at any time shall not exceed the Maximum Available Credit.

Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year, but charged for the actual number of days elapsed.

Each such Advance shall be in the aggregate amount of not less than the amount specified in the Operating Budget (or, if less, the remaining amount available under the Line). Subject to the provisions of this Section 2 and upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent set forth in Section 2(f), IMSI shall make the Advance on the proposed Funding Date in accordance with the Company's Funding Request.
 
(e) Maximum Available Credit. The aggregate amount of principal which the Company may have outstanding under the Line at any time shall not exceed the Maximum Available Credit.

4. Representations and Warranties of IMSI. IMSI represents and warrants to the Company that:
 
(a) Requisite Power and Authority. All action on the part of IMSI necessary for the authorization of this Agreement, the Note and the performance of all obligations of IMSI hereunder and thereunder have been taken. This Agreement constitutes, and the Note, when executed and delivered, will constitute, valid and binding obligations of IMSI enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights, and (ii) general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies.
 
(b) Investment Representations. IMSI understands that the Note has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). IMSI also understands that the Note is being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part upon IMSI's representations contained in the Agreement.

IMSI has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that IMSI is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the Note and the shares of the Company's capital stock issuable pursuant to the terms thereof (the "Shares") and of protecting IMSI's interests in connection therewith. IMSI is able to fend for itself in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has the ability to bear the economic risk of the investment, including complete loss of the investment.
 
(d) Investment. IMSI is acquiring the Note and the Shares for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and IMSI has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. IMSI understands that the Note and the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws (collectively, the “Acts”) by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Acts which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of IMSI's representations as expressed herein.
 
(e) Restricted Securities. IMSI understands that the Note and the Shares will be "restricted securities" under applicable securities laws in as much as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations the Note and the Shares may be resold without registration under the Acts only in certain limited circumstances. IMSI acknowledges that the Note and the Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Acts or an exemption from such registration is available.

PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL

International Microcomputer Software, Inc.
100 Rowland Way
Novato, CA 94945
 
Attention: Members of the Board of Directors
 
Gentlemen:
 
You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the stockholders of International Microcomputer Software, Inc. (“IMSI” or the “Company”), of the value of the total consideration to be issued to the stockholders of AccessMedia Networks, Inc. (“AM”) pursuant to the terms of the proposed Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "AccessMedia Merger Agreement"), by and among IMSI, ACCM Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of IMSI (“Merger Sub”), and AM.

The proposed AccessMedia Merger Agreement provides for the merger (the "Merger") of Merger Sub with and into AM, and that AM will be the surviving corporation of the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger, the stockholders of AM shall be issued 29,000,000 shares of IMSI’s common stock. In addition, pursuant to the achievement of various performance levels by AM, IMSI shall issue additional shares of IMSI common stock to the stockholders of AM.

Deson & Co. is a boutique investment banking firm focused on technology-based companies. As a customary part of its investment banking business, it is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, private placements and investments. For our services in rendering this opinion, IMSI will pay us a fee that is not contingent upon the consummation of the Merger. IMSI has also agreed to indemnify us against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with this engagement. Deson & Co. and Sean Deson, CEO of Deson & Co., regularly conducts business with Baytree Capital Associates, LLC (“Baytree”) and Michael Gardner, Chairman and CEO of Baytree. As a result of Michael Gardner’s current ownership in AM and pursuant to various agreements related to the Merger, Baytree and Michael Gardner will be significant shareholders of IMSI.

In arriving at our opinion, we have undertaken such reviews, analyses and inquiries as we deemed necessary and appropriate under the circumstances. Among other things, we have:

(i) Reviewed the merger agreement dated August 8, 2005, the draft of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 19, 2005, and drafts of selected other documents related to the Merger;

D-1

(ii) Discussed the past and current operations, financial condition and prospects for both IMSI and AM with senior executives of each party;

(iii) Reviewed certain internal financial information and other operating data concerning IMSI and AM prepared by executives of each party;

(iv) Reviewed public financial statements and other information concerning IMSI;

(v) Analyzed certain financial projections of IMSI and AM prepared by the executives of each party;

(vi) Compared the expected financial performance of AM with that of certain other comparable publicly-traded companies;

(vii) Reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available of precedent acquisition transactions of companies comparable to AM; 

(viii) Assessed AM’s value using discounted cash flow analysis of projected future cash flows;

(ix) Analyzed the expected accretion/dilution to IMSI of AM based upon the information provided by executives of each party;

(x) Assessed the expected relative contribution of IMSI and AM based upon information provided by executives of each party; and

(xi) Performed such other analysis and considered such other factors as we deemed appropriate.

In conducting our review and in rendering our opinion, we have relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information provided to us or otherwise made available to us, and have not attempted to independently verify, and have not assumed responsibility for the independent verification, of such information. We have assumed, in reliance upon the assurances of the management of IMSI and AM, that the information provided to us has been prepared on a reasonable basis in accordance with industry practice, and, with respect to financial planning data and other business outlook information, reflects the best currently available estimates and judgment of the management of each party, and that the management of each party is not aware of any information or facts that would make the information provided to us incomplete or misleading.

We have not made any independent valuation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of IMSI or AM, nor have we been furnished with any such appraisals. Our opinion is necessarily based on the economic, market and other conditions in effect on, and the information made available to us, as of the date hereof. In arriving at our opinion, we have assumed that all the necessary regulatory approvals and consents required for the Merger will be obtained in a manner that will not change the purchase price for AM. We have assumed that the final form of the AccessMedia Merger Agreement will be substantially similar to the draft reviewed by us, without modification of material terms or conditions.

This opinion is furnished pursuant to our engagement letter dated July 29, 2005. This opinion is directed to the Board of Directors of IMSI in connection with its consideration of the Merger. This opinion is not intended to be, and shall not be deemed to be, and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of IMSI as to which action such stockholder should take with respect to the Merger. In connection with this opinion, we were not requested to opine as to, and this opinion does not address, the basic business decision to proceed with or effect the Merger, or to compare the Merger to, or consider, alternative transactions that may have been available to IMSI. Except with respect to the use of this opinion in connection with the proxy statement relating to the Merger, this opinion shall not be published, used, referred to, quoted or disclosed to any person in any manner, without our prior written approval.

D-2

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and based upon such other factors as we consider relevant, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Merger Consideration to be issued by IMSI to AM's stockholders pursuant to the AccessMedia Merger Agreement is fair to IMSI’s stockholders from a financial point of view.

 
Sincerely,

Deson & Co., Inc.
by


/s/ Sean Deson

CHAPTER 13. DISSENTERS’ RIGHTS
 
§ 1300. Reorganization or short-form merger; dissenting shares; corporate purchase at fair market value; definitions
 
(a) If the approval of the outstanding shares (Section 152) of a corporation is required for a reorganization under subdivisions (a) and (b) or subdivision (e) or (f) of Section 1201, each shareholder of the corporation entitled to vote on the transaction and each shareholder of a subsidiary corporation in a short-form merger may, by complying with this chapter, require the corporation in which the shareholder holds shares to purchase for cash at their fair market value the shares owned by the shareholder which are dissenting shares as defined in subdivision (b). The fair market value shall be determined as of the day before the first announcement of the terms of the proposed reorganization or short-form merger, excluding any appreciation or depreciation in consequence of the proposed action, but adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, or share dividend which becomes effective thereafter.
 
(b) As used in this chapter, “dissenting shares” means shares which come within all of the following descriptions:
 
(1) Which were not immediately prior to the reorganization or short-form merger either (A) listed on any national securities exchange certified by the Commissioner of Corporations under subdivision (o) of Section 25100 or (B) listed on the National Market System of the NASDAQ Stock Market, and the notice of meeting of shareholders to act upon the reorganization summarizes this section and Sections 1301, 1302, 1303 and 1304; provided, however, that this provision does not apply to any shares with respect to which there exists any restriction on transfer imposed by the corporation or by any law or regulation; and provided, further, that this provision does not apply to any class of shares described in subparagraph (A) or (B) if demands for payment are filed with respect to 5 percent or more of the outstanding shares of that class.
 
(2) Which were outstanding on the date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote on the reorganization and (A) were not voted in favor of the reorganization or, (B) if described in subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (1) (without regard to the provisos in that paragraph), were voted against the reorganization, or which were held of record on the effective date of a shortform merger; provided, however, that subparagraph (A) rather than subparagraph (B) of this paragraph applies in any case where the approval required by Section 1201 is sought by written consent rather than at a meeting.
 
(3) Which the dissenting shareholder has demanded that the corporation purchase at their fair market value, in accordance with Section 1301.
 
(4) Which the dissenting shareholder has submitted for endorsement, in accordance with Section 1302.
 
(c) As used in this chapter, “dissenting shareholder” means the recordholder of dissenting shares and includes a transferee of record. (Added by Stats.1975, c. 682, § 7, eff. Jan. 1, 1977. Amended by Stats.1976, c. 641, § 21.3, eff. Jan 1, 1977, Stats.1982, c. 36, p. 69, § 3, eff.

§ 1301. Notice to holders of dissenting shares in reorganizations; demand for purchase; time; contents
 
(a) If, in the case of a reorganization, any shareholders of a corporation have a right under Section 1300, subject to compliance with paragraphs (3) and (4) of subdivision (b) thereof, to require the corporation to purchase their shares for cash, such corporation shall mail to each such shareholder a notice of the approval of the reorganization by its outstanding shares (Section 152) within 10 days after the date of such approval, accompanied by a copy of Sections 1300, 1302, 1303, 1304 and this section, a statement of the price determined by the corporation to represent the fair market value of the dissenting shares, and a brief description of the procedure to be followed if the shareholder desires to exercise the shareholder’s right under such sections. The statement of price constitutes an offer by the corporation to purchase at the price stated any dissenting shares as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 1300, unless they lose their status as dissenting shares under Section 1309.
 
(b) Any shareholder who has a right to require the corporation to purchase the shareholder’s shares for cash under Section 1300, subject to compliance with paragraphs (3) and (4) of subdivision (b) thereof, and who desires the corporation to purchase such shares shall make written demand upon the corporation for the purchase of such shares and payment to the shareholder in cash of their fair market value. The demand is not effective for any purpose unless it is received by the corporation or any transfer agent thereof (1) in the case of shares described in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 1300 (without regard to the provisos in that paragraph), not later than the date of the shareholders’ meeting to vote upon the reorganization, or (2) in any other case within 30 days after the date on which the notice of the approval by the outstanding shares pursuant to subdivision (a) or the notice pursuant to subdivision (i) of Section 1110 was mailed to the shareholder.
 
(c) The demand shall state the number and class of the shares held of record by the shareholder which the shareholder demands that the corporation purchase and shall contain a statement of what such shareholder claims to be the fair market value of those shares as of the day before the announcement of the proposed reorganization or short-form merger. The statement of fair market value constitutes an offer by the shareholder to sell the shares at such price. (Added by Stats.1975, c. 682, § 7, eff. Jan. 1, 1977. Amended by Stats.1976, c. 641, § 21.6, eff. Jan 1, 1977, Stats.1980, c. 501, p. 1052, § 5; Stats.1980, c. 1155, p. 3831, § 1.)

(a) If the corporation denies that the shares are dissenting shares, or the corporation and the shareholder fail to agree upon the fair market value of the shares, then the shareholder demanding purchase of such shares as dissenting shares or any interested corporation, within six months after the date on which notice of the approval by the outstanding shares (Section 152) or notice pursuant to subdivision (i) of Section 1110 was mailed to the shareholder, but not thereafter, may file a complaint in the superior court of the proper county praying the court to determine whether the shares are dissenting shares or the fair market value of the dissenting shares or both or may intervene in any action pending on such a complaint.
 
(b) Two or more dissenting shareholders may join as plaintiffs or be joined as defendants in any such action and two or more such actions may be consolidated.
 
(c) On the trial of the action, the court shall determine the issues. If the status of the shares as dissenting shares is in issue, the court shall first determine that issue. If the fair market value of the dissenting shares is in issue, the court shall determine, or shall appoint one or more impartial appraisers to determine, the fair market value of the shares.

(b) If one of the parties to a reorganization or shortform merger is directly or indirectly controlled by, or under common control with, another party to the reorganization or short-form merger, subdivision (a) shall not apply to any shareholder of such party who has not demanded payment of cash for such shareholder’s shares pursuant to this chapter; but if the shareholder institutes any action to attack the validity of the reorganization or short-form merger or to have the reorganization or shortform merger set aside or rescinded, the shareholder shall not thereafter have any right to demand payment of cash for the shareholder’s shares pursuant to this chapter. The court in any action attacking the validity of the reorganization or short-form merger or to have the reorganization or short-form merger set aside or rescinded shall not restrain or enjoin the consummation of the transaction except upon 10 days’ prior notice to the corporation and upon a determination by the court that clearly no other remedy will adequately protect the complaining shareholder or the class of shareholders of which such shareholder is a member.
 
E-5

(c) If one of the parties to a reorganization or short-form merger is directly or indirectly controlled by, or under common control with, another party to the reorganization or short-form merger, in any action to attack the validity of the reorganization or short-form merger or to have the reorganization or short-form merger set aside or rescinded, (1) a party to a reorganization or short-form merger which controls another party to the reorganization or short-form merger shall have the burden of proving that the transaction is just and reasonable as to the shareholders of the controlled party, and (2) a person who controls two or more parties to a reorganization shall have the burden of proving that the transaction is just and reasonable as to the shareholders of any party so controlled.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT


Board of Directors
AccessMedia Networks, Inc.
Newark, Delaware

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AccessMedia Networks, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations and accumulated deficit 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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 that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AccessMedia Networks, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ACCESSMEDIA NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004 

 
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Nature of Business 
 
AccessMedia Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) is involved in an Internet-based multi-channel strategy that allows the delivery of content and entertainment on demand and enables end-users to readily organize and access significant volumes of quality content, utilizing its broad-based search capabilities. These capabilities span AccessMedia's proprietary media library, media under license, and media readily available on the Internet. The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from the sale of its downloadable software to individuals, the sale of advertising space on its website, and the additional up-sells of merchandise, subscriptions, and media downloads to purchase. The Company was incorporated on January 9, 2002, under the laws of the State of Delaware.

In January, 2005, the sole stockholder of the Company sold 100% of his shares in the Company to Broadcaster, LLC.

In May, 2005, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Media Zone, Ltd. (“MZ”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Value Investments, Inc. (“VI”) in a tax-free exchange for 450 shares of the Company’s common stock. MZ and VI develop software programs for delivering real-time interactive media over the Internet. The Company acquired MZ to expand its Internet media technology.

In July, 2005, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of two additional corporations, PeopleCaster, Inc. (“PC”) and MyVod, Inc. (“MV”), in tax-free exchanges for 200 shares each of the Company’s common stock. PC and MV own technology licenses for Internet programs relating to advertising and media content manipulation. The Company acquired PC and MV to enhance its Internet media delivery systems.

In August, 2005, the Company announced plans to merge with International Microcomputer Software, Inc. (“IMSI”), a public company traded on the Over the Counter Exchange.

Use of Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of our consolidated financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our consolidated financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result.

ACCESSMEDIA NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004 

 
Cash

The Company considers all checking, savings accounts and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and a demand note payable. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivables and accounts payables approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amount of the demand notes payable approximates fair value as the borrowing bears interest reflecting below current market rates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company maintains its cash accounts with a high quality financial institution. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had cash balances of approximately $174,000 and $218,000, respectively, in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Limit of $100,000 per institutions. However, the Company does not anticipate non-performance by the counter-parties.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs and includes them in selling expense as incurred. Advertising and traffic buys for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $942,832 and $3,840, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

Allowance for returns is computed under the allowance method, based on the Company's historical experience and management's analysis of possible returns. The allowance for returns was $170,025 and $1,156 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciable property is depreciated using the straight-line method for accounting purposes over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $338.

Intangible Assets

Software Development Costs and License Fees

Costs incurred in the initial design phase of software development are expensed as incurred in research and development. Once the point of technological feasibility is reached, direct production costs are capitalized in compliance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. We cease capitalizing computer software costs when the product is available for general release to customers. Costs associated with acquired completed software are capitalized.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004 

 
The Company amortizes capitalized software development costs and visual content license fees on a product-by-product basis. The amortization for each product is the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio of current gross revenues to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for the product or (b) 18, 36 or 60 months, depending on the product. The Company evaluates the net realizable value of each software product at each balance sheet date and records write-downs to net realizable value for any products for which the carrying value is in excess of the estimated net realizable value.

The Company started amortizing capitalized software development costs when the product became available for general release to customers, which occurred on November 1, 2004. The amortization period was over 36 months. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the total amortization expense was $116,050 and $4,153, respectively. The Company also started amortizing the intangible assets acquired through the merger with PC and MV over a period of 60 months. For the year ended December 31, 2005, total amortization expense was $930,000.

Other Intangible Assets

The Company also capitalized the cost of media content acquired during the year ended December 31, 2005 in the amount of $5,800,000. The Company started amortizing content acquired from MV in August of 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2005 the total amortization expense was $241,667.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. We assess these assets for impairment based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows from these assets. If the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, a loss is recorded for the excess of the asset’s carrying value over the fair value. The Company did not recognize any impairment loss for long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue related to the sale of software when the customer downloads the software via the Internet and a payment is collected. Sales of subscription products are recognized ratably over the period the services are rendered.

The Company recognizes revenue related to the display of advertisements on its Internet properties as impressions (the number of times that an advertisement appears in pages viewed by users) are delivered, as long as no significant obligations remain at the end of the period. To the extent that significant obligations remain at the end of the period, the Company defers recognition of the corresponding revenue until the remaining guaranteed amounts are achieved.

The Company generates revenue from the display of text-based links to the websites of its advertisers. These links are placed on the Company’s Internet properties as well as on the websites of third party entities who have integrated the Company's sponsored search offerings into their websites. The Company recognizes revenue from these arrangements as click-throughs (the number of times a user clicks on an advertiser’s listing) occur.

Consolidation Policy

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All material inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Financial Statement Reclassification

Certain accounts have been reclassified for ease of comparison on the financial statements. This resulted in no change to the consolidated balance sheet, net loss, or accumulate deficit of the Company.

Deferred income tax assets principally resulted from certain costs and expenses incurred for financial reporting purposes not currently deductible for income tax purposes and from net operating loss carryforwards. At December 31, 2005, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,296,000 which will expire in the years 2023 through 2025.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, the projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes that it is more likely than not that most of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The valuation allowance has increased by $1,299,453 in 2005.


NOTE C - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151 “Inventory Costs - An Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS 151”). SFAS 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material. Among other provisions, the new rule requires that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal” as stated in ARB No. 43. Additionally, SFAS 151 requires that the allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 151 will have on its results of operations and financial condition but does not expect it to have a material impact.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets-An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions” (“SFAS 153”). SFAS 153 eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions,” and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS 153 specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS 153 is effective for the fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 153 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition, but does not expect it to have a material impact.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes” (“SFAS 154”), and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements” (“FASB 3”). The new statement changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.

NOTE E - PLAN OF MERGER WITH IMSI

On December 16, 2005, the Company, its stockholders, ACCM Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and IMSI’s subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) and IMSI, entered into an agreement and plan of merger (“Agreement”), under which Merger Sub will be merged with and into AccessMedia, with AccessMedia continuing after the merger as the surviving corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary.

Under the Agreement, IMSI will issue 29 million shares of its common stock to AccessMedia’s stockholders at the closing of this transaction, representing approximately 49% of IMSI’s outstanding stock at such time. Following the closing, IMSI may issue up to 35 million additional shares of its common stock to AccessMedia’s stockholders if AccessMedia achieves certain revenue goals prior to December 31, 2008 (subject to certain extensions as provided in the Agreement). The closing of the transaction is anticipated to occur in the second calendar quarter of 2006. As part of the closing, IMSI will change its name to Broadcaster, Inc.

The Agreement has been approved by both AccessMedia’s and IMSI’s Boards of Directors, and the transactions contemplated thereby are subject to customary closing conditions.

Concurrently with the execution of the Agreement, the Company entered into a joint operating agreement with IMSI, under which IMSI agreed to loan AccessMedia up to $3.0 million prior to the closing of the merger pursuant to a joint operating plan and an operating budget to be delivered to a joint operating committee comprised of representatives of AccessMedia and IMSI. In addition, IMSI agreed to fund up to an additional $7.0 million of net working capital needs of the surviving entity if certain operating milestones are achieved, as outlined in the joint operating agreement. The Company has not yet requested funding under this arrangement.

Annex F-2
 
 
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
On December 16, 2005, IMSI entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire AccessMedia. Under the terms of the AccessMedia Merger Agreement, AccessMedia stockholders will receive 29 million shares of IMSI common stock issued in exchange for all existing shares of AccessMedia common stock and will own approximately 49% of the outstanding capital stock of the combined company. The agreement provides that 35 million additional shares may be earned and awarded to the current stockholders of AccessMedia. Completion of the proposed acquisition, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2006, is subject to the approval of IMSI and AccessMedia shareholders and other regulatory and customary conditions. The purchase price was determined through an arms-length negotiation between the parties and will be allocated to the underlying assets, namely technology assets, business relationships and other intangibles, based on management’s estimate of fair values and remaining economic lives. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets will be recorded as goodwill.
 
The proposed acquisition is accounted for in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements using the purchase method of accounting. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated balance sheet combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of IMSI and AccessMedia as of December 31, 2005, giving effect to the proposed acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of operations combine the historical consolidated statements of operations for IMSI and AccessMedia for the year ended June 30, 2005 and the six months ended December 31, 2005, giving effect to the proposed acquisition as if it had occurred at the beginning of each period. Independent valuation specialists are currently conducting an independent valuation in order to assist IMSI in determining the fair value of the underlying assets. Any preliminary work performed by the independent valuation specialists has been considered in management’s estimates of the fair values reflected in these pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements. A final determination of the fair values, which cannot be made prior to the completion of the proposed acquisition, will include management’s consideration of a final valuation prepared by the independent valuation specialists. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, and is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually. The purchase price allocation for AccessMedia is subject to revision as more detailed analysis is completed and additional information on the fair value of AccessMedia's assets and liabilities becomes available. Any change in the fair value of the net assets of AccessMedia, estimates of costs associated with the transaction or additional shares issued pursuant to the agreement will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill.
 
In determining the purchase price allocation and the fair value to assign to each of AccessMedia's identified intangible assets except content, we used the income approach methodology and the cost approach utilizing the principle of substitution.  The preliminary fair values of AccessMedia’s tangible assets and liabilities are historical values and the content intangible is shown at estimated replacement cost. All preliminary values are subject to change based upon an expected balance sheet audit of AccessMedia as of the date of closing and further review of the assets, liabilities, assumptions and choice of valuation methodology.
 
The following attributes of the combination of the IMSI and AccessMedia businesses were considered significant factors to the establishment of the purchase price, resulting in the recognition of goodwill: an experienced workforce, the stage of development of certain technology assets permitting the company to deliver content to consumers over the Internet, the existence of existing business knowledge and practice supporting the proposed products and services, marketing programs and a base level of customers.
 
F-2-1

The detailed assumptions used to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements are contained in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements. The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates and information available at the time of the preparation of this proxy statement/prospectus and include certain assumptions that management of IMSI deems appropriate. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements have been prepared by IMSI for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the condensed combined consolidated financial position or results of operations in future periods, or the results that actually would have been realized had IMSI and AccessMedia been a combined company during the specified periods. Further, the actual amounts recorded as of the completion of the proposed acquisition may differ materially from the information presented in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements. In addition to the receipt of the final valuation report, the impact of ongoing integration activities, the timing of completion of the acquisition and other changes in AccessMedia’s net tangible and intangible assets that occur prior to completion of the proposed acquisition could cause material differences from the information presented.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements also include estimates of direct costs associated with the proposed acquisition including investment banker fees, fairness opinion fees, due diligence fees, legal and accounting costs, filing fees, independent valuation services and the Annual Meeting of stockholders that will be held to approve the proposed reincorporation. A final determination of the costs cannot be made until completion of the proposed acquisition and could differ significantly from the initial estimate of costs used in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements. In addition, IMSI may incur significant integration costs upon completion of the acquisition or in subsequent quarters, or other costs associated with existing activities of IMSI and AccessMedia.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of IMSI included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and report on Form 10-QSB for the six months ended December 31, 2005 which is incorporated herein by reference.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
1. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
 
On December 16, 2005, IMSI and AccessMedia entered into a definitive agreement whereby IMSI will acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of AccessMedia. IMSI will account for the business combination as a purchase. At the closing, ACCM Acquisition Corp., a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of IMSI will merge with AccessMedia, with AccessMedia surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of IMSI.
 
On May 13, 2005, AccessMedia completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Media Zone Ltd. On July 22, 2005, AccessMedia completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Peoplecaster, Inc. and Myvod, Inc. These transactions were accounted for as a purchase. AccessMedia acquired all of the operating assets of Media Zone, Ltd., Peoplecaster, Inc. and Myvod, Inc. in a share for share exchange.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2005 combines the IMSI, AccessMedia, Peoplecaster, Inc. and Myvod, Inc. consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2005.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2005 and the six months ended December 31, 2005 give effect to the proposed business combination as if it had occurred on July 1, 2004. Additionally, the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations reflect the acquisitions by AccessMedia of substantially all of the assets of Media Zone, Ltd., Peoplecaster, Inc. and Myvod, Inc. as if they had occurred on July 1, 2004. Accordingly, the results of operations of Media Zone Ltd., Peoplecaster, Inc. and Myvod, Inc. prior to their respective acquisition dates have been presented alongside AccessMedia’s consolidated statement of operations on the proforma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2004. The results of operations of Media Zone Ltd., Peoplecaster, Inc. and Myvod, Inc. are reflected within AccessMedia’s condensed consolidated statement of operations on the proforma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2005.
 
The acquisition structure described in this proxy statement-prospectus will not result in a change in control of IMSI. Accordingly, under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the assets and liabilities transferred from IMSI will be accounted for at historical cost. Therefore, no pro forma statements of IMSI showing the effect of the reorganization are included in this proxy statement/prospectus.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect a purchase price of approximately $31.9 million. The preliminary fair market value of IMSI’s common stock to be issued was based on a five-trading-day average price of IMSI’s common stock surrounding December 16, 2005 when the business combination was announced. The final purchase price is also dependent on actual direct transaction costs. The final purchase price will be determined upon the completion of the business combination. The estimated total purchase price of the proposed business combination is as follows (in thousands):
 
Value of IMSI common stock to be issued
 
$
28,362
 
Estimated direct transaction costs
 
 
3,528
 
Total estimated purchase price
 
$
31,890
 
 
The calculation assumes the issuance of 29,000,000 shares of IMSI common stock to the shareholders of AccessMedia measured as of the date of the definitive merger agreement using a five-trading-day average price of IMSI’s common stock. The definitive merger agreement was announced on December 16, 2005.
 
F-2-6

The value of AccessMedia's net tangible and intangible assets are based upon their estimated fair value as of the date of the completion of the business combination. The estimated fair value is independent of the preliminary values historically recorded on the books and records of AccessMedia. Management's preliminary fair value estimates are subject to revision upon its further study of assets, liabilities, assumptions and appropriate valuation methodology. Based upon the estimated purchase price, the purchase price allocation, which is subject to change based on IMSI's final analysis, is as follows (in thousands):
 
Tangible assets acquired

382
 
Intangible assets:

Liabilities assumed
 
 
(3,577
)
Deferred tax liability
 
 
(6,300
)
Net assets acquired
 
$
31,891
 
 
A preliminary estimate of $15.4 million has been allocated to amortizable intangible assets with useful lives ranging from ten to thirty years as follows: software - ten years, domain names and content - thirty years.
 
A preliminary residual purchase price of $25.9 million will be recorded as goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually. The agreement provides that 35 million additional shares may be earned and awarded to the current stockholders of AccessMedia. Any additional shares earned would be a future addition to goodwill.
 
AccessMedia’s acquired technology includes certain additional products with market opportunities. These opportunities were significant contributing factors to the establishment of the purchase price, resulting in the recognition of a significant amount of goodwill. In addition, the acquisition provides an experienced workforce, development of certain technology assets permitting the company to deliver content to consumers over the Internet, existing business knowledge and practice supporting the proposed products and services, marketing programs and a base level of customers.
 
3. Pro Forma Adjustments
 
There were no intercompany balances or transactions between IMSI and AccessMedia other than the Joint Operating Agreement.
 
The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared as if the business combination was completed on December 31, 2005 for balance sheet purposes and as of July 1, 2004 for statement of operations purposes and reflect the following pro forma adjustments:
 
 
(A)
 
To record the estimated fair value of the shares of IMSI common stock to be issued for the shares of AccessMedia common stock to be exchanged.
 
F-2-7

 
 
 
 
 
(B)
 
To eliminate the historical stockholders’ equity of AccessMedia.
 
 
(C)
 
To eliminate AccessMedia’s existing intangible assets.
 
 
(D)
 
To establish amortizable intangible assets and non-amortizable goodwill resulting from the proposed business combination.
 
 
 
 
 
(E)
 
To record estimated direct transaction costs of approximately $3.5 million to be incurred by IMSI related to the proposed business combination. Actual amounts could differ significantly upon close of the proposed business combination.
 
 
 
 
 
(F)
 
To adjust the estimated fair value of deferred revenue related to ongoing obligations.
 
 
 
 
 
(G)
 
To record a deferred tax liability related to acquired intangibles.
 
 
 
 
 
(H)
 
To reflect amortization of the amortizable intangible assets on a straight-line basis resulting from the proposed business combination.
 
 
 
 
 
(I)
 
 
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average common stock outstanding for the period, inclusive of the 29.0 million shares of IMSI common stock estimated to be issued in the proposed business combination and 2.45 million shares issued as direct transaction costs. As the pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for all periods presented shows a net loss, weighted average basic and diluted shares are the same.

Annex G
 

INTERNATIONAL MICROCOMPUTER SOFTWARE, INC.

2004 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
ARTICLE ONE
 
GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
I. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
 
This 2004 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN is intended to promote the interests of INTERNATIONAL MICROCOMPUTER SOFTWARE, INC., a California corporation (the “Corporation”), by providing eligible persons with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an incentive for them to remain in the service of the Corporation.
 
Capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the attached Appendix.
 
II. STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN
 
A. The Plan shall be divided into two (2) separate equity programs:
 
(i) the Option Grant Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock, and
 
(ii) the Stock Issuance Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued shares of Common Stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a bonus for services rendered the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).
 
B. The provisions of Article One and Article Four shall apply to both equity programs under the Plan and shall accordingly govern the interests of all persons under the Plan.
 
III. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
 
A. The Plan shall be administered by the Board. However, any or all administrative functions otherwise exercisable by the Board may be delegated to the Committee. Members of the Committee shall serve for such periods of time as the Board may determine and shall be subject to removal by the Board at any time. The Board may also at any time terminate the functions of the Committee and reassume all powers and authority previously delegated to the Committee.
 
G-1

B. The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority (subject to the provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for proper administration of the Plan and to make such determinations under, and issue such interpretations of, the Plan and any outstanding options or stock issuances thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. Decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan or any option or stock issuance thereunder.
 
IV. ELIGIBILITY
 
A. The persons eligible to participate in the Plan are as follows:
 
(i) Employees,
 
(ii) non-employee members of the Board or the non-employee members of the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary, and
 
(iii) consultants and other independent advisors who provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).
 
B. The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to determine, (i) with respect to the option grants under the Option Grant Program, which eligible persons are to receive option grants, the time or times when such option grants are to be made, the number of shares to be covered by each such grant, the status of the granted option as either an Incentive Option or a Non-Statutory Option, the time or times at which each option is to become exercisable, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the option shares and the maximum term for which the option is to remain outstanding, and (ii) with respect to stock issuances under the Stock Issuance Program, which eligible persons are to receive stock issuances, the time or times when such issuances are to be made, the number of shares to be issued to each Participant, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the issued shares and the consideration to be paid by the Participant for such shares.
 
V. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
 
A. The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued over the term of the Plan shall not exceed ten million, five hundred thousand (10,500,000) shares; provided, however, that the number of shares issuable on exercise of outstanding options under the Plan and all other stock option, stock bonus and similar plans or agreements of the Corporation (except as otherwise provided by the California Corporations Code and regulations promulgated thereunder) shall at no time exceed thirty percent (30%) of the number of outstanding shares of the Corporation’s capital stock. In the event that the Corporation’s Board of Directors authorizes the grant of options under the Plan such that the 30% limit set forth above is exceeded, those options authorized in excess of the 30% limit will not be considered granted until such time as (i) additional shares are issued by the Corporation to bring the authorized options within the 30% limit, or (ii) the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Company’s outstanding shares is obtained to the issuance of options in excess of the 30% limit. Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options shall be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent (i) the options expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full or (ii) the options are cancelled in accordance with the cancellation-regrant provisions of Article Two. Unvested shares issued under the Plan and subsequently repurchased by the Corporation, at the option exercise price paid per share, pursuant to the Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Plan shall be added back to the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan and shall accordingly be available for reissuance through one or more subsequent option grants or direct stock issuances under the Plan.
 
G-2

B. No one person participating in the Plan may be granted options or direct stock issuances (whether vested or unvested) for more than __________ shares of Common Stock in the aggregate per calendar year.
 
C. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan, (ii) the number and/or class of securities for which any one person may be granted options and direct stock issuances per calendar year and (iii) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding option in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits thereunder. The adjustments determined by the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. In no event shall any such adjustments be made in connection with the conversion of one or more outstanding shares of the Corporation’s preferred stock into shares of Common Stock.
 
ARTICLE TWO
 
OPTION GRANT PROGRAM
 
I. OPTION TERMS
 
Each option shall be evidenced by one or more documents in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that each such document shall comply with the terms specified below. Each document evidencing an Incentive Option shall, in addition, be subject to the provisions of the Plan applicable to such options.
 
A. Exercise Price.
 
1. The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator in accordance with the following provisions:
 
(i) The exercise price per share shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.

Each option shall be exercisable at such time or times, during such period and for such number of shares as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option grant.

Upon the expiration of the applicable exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested shares for which the option has not been exercised. However, the option shall, immediately upon the Optionee’s cessation of Service, terminate and cease to be outstanding with respect to any and all option shares for which the option is not otherwise at the time exercisable or in which the Optionee is not otherwise at that time vested.
 
2. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time an option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to:
 
(i) extend the period of time for which the option is to remain exercisable following Optionee’s cessation of Service or death from the limited period otherwise in effect for that option to such greater period of time as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the expiration of the option term, and/or
 
(ii) permit the option to be exercised, during the applicable post-Service exercise period, not only with respect to the number of vested shares of Common Stock for which such option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Service but also with respect to one or more additional installments in which the Optionee would have vested under the option had the Optionee continued in Service.
 
D. Shareholder Rights. The holder of an option shall have no shareholder rights with respect to the shares subject to the option until such person shall have exercised the option, paid the exercise price and become a holder of record of the purchased shares.
 
E. Unvested Shares. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to grant options which are exercisable for unvested shares of Common Stock. Should the Optionee cease Service while holding such unvested shares, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase, at the exercise price paid per share, all or (at the discretion of the Corporation and with the consent of the Optionee) any of those unvested shares. The terms upon which such repurchase right shall be exercisable (including the period and procedure for exercise and the appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such repurchase right.
 
F. First Refusal Rights. Until such time as the Common Stock is first registered under Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act, the Corporation shall have the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed disposition by the Optionee (or any successor in interest) of any shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such right.

II. INCENTIVE OPTIONS
 
The terms specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive Options. Except as modified by the provisions of this Section II, all the provisions of the Plan shall be applicable to Incentive Options. Options which are specifically designated as Non-Statutory Options shall not be subject to the terms of this Section II.
 
A. Eligibility. Incentive Options may only be granted to Employees.
 
B. Exercise Price. The exercise price per share shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.
 
C. Dollar Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) for which one or more options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) may for the first time become exercisable as Incentive Options during any one (1) calendar year shall not exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). To the extent the Employee holds two (2) or more such options which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such options are granted.
 
D. 10% Shareholder. If any Employee to whom an Incentive Option is granted is a 10% Shareholder, then the option term shall not exceed five (5) years measured from the option grant date.
 
III. CORPORATE TRANSACTION
 
A. The shares subject to each option outstanding under the Plan at the time of a Corporate Transaction shall automatically vest in full so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become fully exercisable for all of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to that option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. However, the shares subject to an outstanding option shall not vest on such an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) such option is assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in the Corporate Transaction and the Corporation’s repurchase rights with respect to the unvested option shares are concurrently assigned to such successor corporation (or parent thereof) or (ii) such option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing on the unvested option shares at the time of the Corporate Transaction and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting schedule applicable to those unvested option shares or (iii) the acceleration of such option is subject to other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time of the option grant.
 
G-6

B. All outstanding repurchase rights shall also terminate automatically, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Corporate Transaction, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such Corporate Transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase right is issued.
 
C. Immediately following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, all outstanding options shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof).
 
D. Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction, had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to (i) the number and class of securities available for issuance under the Plan following the consummation of such Corporate Transaction and (ii) the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same.
 
E. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time the option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to provide for the automatic acceleration (in whole or in part) of one or more outstanding options (and the automatic termination of one or more outstanding repurchase rights, with the immediate vesting of the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights) upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction, whether or not those options are to be assumed or replaced (or those repurchase rights are to be assigned) in the Corporate Transaction.
 
F. The Plan Administrator shall also have full power and authority, exercisable either at the time the option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to structure such option so that the shares subject to that option will automatically vest on an accelerated basis should the Optionee’s Service terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Corporate Transaction in which the option is assumed and the repurchase rights applicable to those shares do not otherwise terminate. Any such option shall remain exercisable for the fully vested option shares until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the option term or (ii) the expiration of the one (1)-year period measured from the effective date of the Involuntary Termination. In addition, the Plan Administrator may provide that one or more of the outstanding repurchase rights with respect to shares held by the Optionee at the time of such Involuntary Termination shall immediately terminate on an accelerated basis, and the shares subject to those terminated rights shall accordingly vest.
 
G-7

G. The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar limitation is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the accelerated portion of such option shall be exercisable as a Non-Statutory Option under the Federal tax laws.
 
H. The grant of options under the Plan shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
 
IV. CANCELLATION AND REGRANT OF OPTIONS
 
The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the affected option holders, the cancellation of any or all outstanding options under the Plan and to grant in substitution therefor new options covering the same or different number of shares of Common Stock but with an exercise price per share based on the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the new option grant date.

B. Vesting Provisions.
 
1. Shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program may, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be fully and immediately vested upon issuance or may vest in one or more installments over the Participant’s period of Service or upon attainment of specified performance objectives. However, the Plan Administrator may not impose a vesting schedule upon any stock issuance effected under the Stock Issuance Program which is more restrictive than twenty percent (20%) per year vesting, with initial vesting to occur not later than one (1) year after the issuance date.
 
2. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which the Participant may have the right to receive with respect to the Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration shall be issued subject to (i) the same vesting requirements applicable to the Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock and (ii) such escrow arrangements as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate.
 
3. The Participant shall have full shareholder rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant under the Stock Issuance Program, whether or not the Participant’s interest in those shares is vested. Accordingly, the Participant shall have the right to vote such shares and to receive any regular cash dividends paid on such shares.
 
4. Should the Participant cease to remain in Service while holding one or more unvested shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program or should the performance objectives not be attained with respect to one or more such unvested shares of Common Stock, then those shares shall be immediately surrendered to the Corporation for cancellation, and the Participant shall have no further shareholder rights with respect to those shares. To the extent the surrendered shares were previously issued to the Participant for consideration paid in cash or cash equivalent (including the Participant’s purchase-money indebtedness), the Corporation shall repay to the Participant the cash consideration paid for the surrendered shares and shall cancel the unpaid principal balance of any outstanding purchase-money note of the Participant attributable to such surrendered shares.
 
5. The Plan Administrator may in its discretion waive the surrender and cancellation of one or more unvested shares of Common Stock (or other assets attributable thereto) which would otherwise occur upon the non-completion of the vesting schedule applicable to such shares. Such waiver shall result in the immediate vesting of the Participant’s interest in the shares of Common Stock as to which the waiver applies. Such waiver may be effected at any time, whether before or after the Participant’s cessation of Service or the attainment or non-attainment of the applicable performance objectives.
 
G-9

C. First Refusal Rights. Until such time as the Common Stock is first registered under Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act, the Corporation shall have the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed disposition by the Participant (or any successor in interest) of any shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such right.
 
II. CORPORATE TRANSACTION
 
A. Upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction, all outstanding repurchase rights under the Stock Issuance Program shall terminate automatically, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such Corporate Transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase right is issued.
 
B. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority, exercisable either at the time the unvested shares are issued or any time while the Corporation’s repurchase rights with respect to those shares remain outstanding, to provide that those rights shall automatically terminate on an accelerated basis, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest, in the event the Participant’s Service should subsequently terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Corporate Transaction in which those repurchase rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof).
 
III. SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS
 
Unvested shares may, in the Plan Administrator’s discretion, be held in escrow by the Corporation until the Participant’s interest in such shares vests or may be issued directly to the Participant with restrictive legends on the certificates evidencing those unvested shares.
 
ARTICLE FOUR

I. FINANCING
 
The Plan Administrator may permit any Optionee or Participant to pay the option exercise price or the purchase price for shares issued to such person under the Plan by delivering a full-recourse, interest-bearing promissory note payable in one or more installments and secured by the purchased shares.

III. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN
 
A. The Board shall have complete and exclusive power and authority to amend or modify the Plan in any or all respects. However, no such amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations with respect to options or unvested stock issuances at the time outstanding under the Plan unless the Optionee or the Participant consents to such amendment or modification. In addition, certain amendments may require shareholder approval pursuant to applicable laws and regulations.
 
B. Options may be granted under the Option Grant Program and shares may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program which are in each instance in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock then available for issuance under the Plan, provided any excess shares actually issued under those programs shall be held in escrow until there is obtained shareholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan. If such shareholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the date the first such excess issuances are made, then (i) any unexercised options granted on the basis of such excess shares shall terminate and cease to be outstanding and (ii) the Corporation shall promptly refund to the Optionees and the Participants the exercise or purchase price paid for any excess shares issued under the Plan and held in escrow, together with interest (at the applicable Short Term Federal Rate) for the period the shares were held in escrow, and such shares shall thereupon be automatically cancelled and cease to be outstanding.

VII. NO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE RIGHTS
 
Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee or the Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining such person) or of the Optionee or the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate such person’s Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause.
 
VIII. FINANCIAL REPORTS
 
The Corporation shall deliver a balance sheet and an income statement at least annually to each individual holding an outstanding option under the Plan, unless such individual is a key Employee whose duties in connection with the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary) assure such individual access to equivalent information.
