        2.1 Transfer of Assets.  Seller hereby sells, assigns and transfers to Buyer all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Acquired Assets. This exclusive grant of rights shall include, but is not limited to, the rights to (i) offer, market, publish, reproduce, distribute, transmit, adapt, maintain, prepare derivative works, sell, license or otherwise make use of the Acquired Assets (including, without limitation, all subsequent editions, revisions, supplements to, and versions of

        2.2 Intellectual Property Rights.  As of the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to obtain and hold in its own name any intellectual property rights in and to the Acquired Assets and all copies and derivative works made therefrom (which shall include, but not be limited to, the right to file patent, copyright and trademark applications in the U.S. and throughout the world for the Acquired Assets in the name of Buyer).

    3.  Deliveries at the Closing.  At the Closing, (i) the Buyer will deliver to the Seller the various certificates, instruments, and documents referred to in Section 12,, (ii) the Seller will deliver to the Buyer the various certificates, instruments, and documents referred to in Section 11, and (iii) each Party shall deliver such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, and assignment as the other Party or its counsel reasonably may request.

    5.  Right to Repurchase Shares.  Upon the closing of the Transaction contemplated herein, the Buyer shall have the right, until September 3, 2001, to repurchase all of the Shares. This right of repurchase may be exercised at any time for no less than fifty percent (50%) of the Shares owned by the Seller. The purchase price for all of the Shares, which shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis if less

2


than all of the Shares are purchased, shall be (i) the greater of Eleven United States Cents per Share (US $0.11) or (ii) the price equal to the closing price per share of Common Stock (as officially reported by the NASD Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or the principal securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) as of the date of repurchase.

    6.  Repurchase of Acquired Assets.  The Seller shall repurchase the Acquired Assets in the event the Shares are not repurchased pursuant to Section 5 above, and either (i) the Buyer files a bankruptcy proceeding, (ii) any person commences any proceeding against the Company seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, and such proceeding shall not have been dismissed or, upon the appointment without the consent or acquiescence of the Seller of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Seller or of all or any substantial part of the properties of the Seller, such appointment shall not have been vacated, or (iii) the Seller is otherwise deemed insolvent (the "Seller Repurchase"). No later than ten (10) days after the event of a Seller Repurchase, Seller shall deliver and endorse to Buyer a share certificate representing the Shares and an executed assignment separate from certificate to Buyer, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. Additionally, in the event of a Seller Repurchase, Buyer will, subject to any prior licenses, encumbrances and restrictions and prospective licenses, make, execute, acknowledge, deliver, and file and record in the proper filing and recording places in the United States, all such instruments, including, appropriate financing and continuation statements, collateral agreements, assignments and filings with the Patent and Trademark Office and the Register of Copyrights, and execute any documents and take all such action as may reasonably be deemed necessary or advisable, or as requested by Seller, to assign the Acquired Assets and all copyrights, patents and trademarks associated with the Acquired Assets, to Seller and otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes of this Section 6, or for effecting, assuring and confirming the event of a Seller Repurchase.

    7.  Source Code Escrow Agreement.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver one (1) copy of the source code for the Acquired Assets (the "Source Code") to The Otto Law Group, PLLC ("Escrow Holder"), 900 Fourth Avenue, Suite 3140, Seattle, Washington, 98164. The "Source Code" delivered into escrow under this Section 7 means a copy of the code, libraries and other source components so that, when compiled, linked and otherwise manipulated to create the runtime/executable image for the delivered software, creates a complete and fully operational run-time/executable version of the Purchased Assets. The Source Code shall be held in escrow until the earlier of (i) a Seller Repurchase, or (ii) a breach, termination or expiration of this Agreement. During the term of escrow, the Escrow Holder is hereby directed to permit transfer of the Source Code only in accordance with this Agreement or instructions signed by both parties.

The Escrow Holder shall have no liability for any act or omission hereunder while acting in good faith in the exercise of its own judgment. In the event of a Seller Repurchase, the Escrow Holder, upon receipt of written notice from the Seller and Buyer shall take all steps necessary to accomplish such transfer.
