upon a warrant exercise purchase price of $.01 per share).

On March 9, 2004, the Company awarded Mr. Smith 50,000 shares of Common Stock
as a restricted stock award. The award was made in consideration of Mr. Smith's
past services to the Company and did not involve the payment of any cash. At
the time of the award, the shares were subject to substantial risks of

shares at the time Mr. Smith resigned from his positions with the Company
(August 24, 2004).

obligations to several software licensors and developers for outstanding
accounts payable and future payments. As partial consideration for the
transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, SipStorm will
deliver to the Company its three-year promissory note in the original principal
amount of approximately $3 million (the "Note"). The Note accrues interest at
the rate of 12% per annum commencing January 1, 2005 on the unpaid principal
balance and all principal and accrued interest under the Note is due and
payable on September 29, 2007. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, SipStorm's
obligations under the Note are secured by a pledge of certain shares of the
Company's Series D and Series G Preferred Stock owned by D. Gregory Smith and
Charles H. McDonough. Mr. Smith pledged 416,667 shares of Series D Preferred
Stock and 28 shares of Series G Preferred Stock and Mr. McDonough pledged
50,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and 2.5 shares of Series G Preferred
Stock. Under the pledge, Messrs. Smith and McDonough retain voting and
dispositive power over the pledged stock. In the event of a sale of all or any
of the pledged stock, 75% of the proceeds are to used to discharge the then
unpaid principal and accrued interest on the Note.

Paragraph (e) is not applicable to this Statement.
