PART I
Item 1. Description of Business.
------------------------
Business Development.
- ---------------------
The Company has not engaged in any material business development
activities in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. On August 9, 1999, which
is subsequent to the period covered by this Report, the Company entered into a
Memorandum of Intent with WideBand Corporation, a Missouri corporation
("WideBand"), whereby the Company agreed to issue 12,801,819 "unregistered"
and "restricted" shares of its common stock to the existing stockholders of
WideBand in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of
WideBand's common stock. The execution of this Memorandum of Intent was
disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 9, 1999, which was
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 24, 1999, and
which is incorporated herein by reference. See Item 13 of this Report.
On September 6, 1999, which is subsequent to the period covered by this
Report, the Company and WideBand executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger
setting forth the terms of the merger (the "Plan"). Upon the completion of
the Plan, the operations of the Company would become the operations of
WideBand. WideBand is engaged in the development, manufacture and marketing
of high performance computer networking products. A copy of the Plan is
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. See Item 13 of this
Report.
The holders of a majority of the Company's issued and outstanding common
stock will be consenting to the consummation of the Plan. The Plan will also
require the approval of WideBand's stockholders. There can be no assurance
that the WideBand stockholders will approve the Plan or that it will be
completed. Until such time as the Plan is completed, the Company will
continue to be a "blank check" company.
Business.
- ---------
Other than seeking and investigating potential assets, properties or
businesses to acquire, and executing the Plan with WideBand, the Company has
had no business operations since its inception in September, 1980. To the
extent that the Company has sought the acquisition of assets, property or
business that may benefit the Company and its stockholders, the Company is
essentially a "blank check" company. The WideBand merger, or any other merger
or acquisition transaction that the Company may enter into, will require the
Company to issue shares of its common stock as the sole consideration for the
acquisition. This may result in substantial dilution of the shares of current
stockholders.
The Company's Board of Directors and majority stockholders (i.e., Jack R.
Coombs and John Michael Coombs) have made the decision to complete the
WideBand merger and, in the event that that merger is not completed, will make
the final determination whether to complete any subsequent merger or
acquisition. The Company makes no assurance that its operations after the
completion of the WideBand merger (or, if the WideBand merger is not
completed, any other enterprise) will be profitable or successful.
In the event that the Company closes the WideBand merger or engages in
any other transaction resulting in a change of control of the Company and/or
the acquisition of a business, the Company will be required to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K within 15 days
of such transaction. A filing on Form 8-K also requires the filing of audited
financial statements of the business acquired, as well as pro forma financial
information consisting of a pro forma condensed balance sheet, pro forma
statements of income and accompanying explanatory notes.
In the event that the WideBand merger is not completed, management
intends to consider a number of factors prior to making any decision as to
whether to participate in any specific business endeavor, none of which may be
determinative or provide any assurance of success. These may include, but will
not be limited to an analysis of the quality of the entity's management
personnel; the anticipated acceptability of any new products or marketing
concepts; the merit of technological changes; its present financial
condition, projected growth potential and available technical, financial and
managerial resources; its working capital, history of operations and future
prospects; the nature of its present and expected competition; the quality and
experience of its management services and the depth of its management; its
potential for further research, development or exploration; risk factors
specifically related to its business operations; its potential for growth,
expansion and profit; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of its
products, services, trademarks and name identification; and numerous other
factors which are difficult, if not impossible, to properly or accurately
analyze, let alone describe or identify, without referring to specific
objective criteria.
Regardless, the results of operations of WideBand or any other specific
entity may not necessarily be indicative of what may occur in the future, by
reason of changing market strategies, plant or product expansion, changes in
product emphasis, future management personnel and changes in innumerable other
factors. Further, in the case of a new business venture or one that is in a
research and development mode, the risks will be substantial, and there will
be no objective criteria to examine the effectiveness or the abilities of its
management or its business objectives. Also, a firm market for its products or
services may yet need to be established, and with no past track record, the
profitability of any such entity will be unproven and cannot be predicted with
any certainty.
Principal Products and Services.
- --------------------------------
The limited business operations of the Company, as of the date of this
Report, involve those of a "blank check" company. The only activities to be
conducted by the Company during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, have been
to manage its current assets and to seek out and investigate the acquisition
of any viable business opportunity by purchase and exchange for securities of
the Company or pursuant to a reorganization or merger through which securities
of the Company would be issued or exchanged.
In the event that the WideBand merger is completed, as to which there can
be no assurance, the Company will take over the operations of WideBand.
Distribution Methods of the Products or Services.
- -------------------------------------------------
Upon the completion of the WideBand merger, as to which there can be no
assurance, WideBand's distribution methods of its computer networking products
will become the distribution methods of the Company. In the event that the
Company is unable to complete the WideBand merger, management will seek out
and investigate business opportunities through every reasonably available
fashion, including personal contacts, professionals, securities
broker-dealers, venture capital personnel, members of the financial community
and others who may present unsolicited proposals; the Company may also
advertise its availability as a vehicle to bring a company to the public
market through a "reverse" reorganization or merger.
Status of any Publicly Announced New Product or Service.
- --------------------------------------------------------
None; not applicable.
Competitive Business Conditions.
- --------------------------------
If the Company is able to complete the WideBand merger, as to which there
can be no assurance, the Company will face the same competitive environment
currently faced by WideBand in connection with its computer networking
operations. If the WideBand merger is not completed, management believes that
there are literally thousands of "blank check" companies engaged in endeavors
similar to those engaged in by the Company; many of these companies may have
substantial current assets and cash reserves. Competitors also include
thousands of other publicly-held companies whose business operations have
proven unsuccessful, and whose only viable business opportunity is that of
providing a publicly-held vehicle through which a private entity may have
access to the public capital markets. There is no reasonable way to predict
the competitive position of the Company or any other entity in this regard;
however, the Company, having virtually no operating history, would likely be
at a competitive disadvantage in competing with entities which have recently
completed IPO's and have operating histories when compared with the extremely
limited operating history of the Company.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Names of Principal
Suppliers.
- ----------
None; not applicable.
Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers.
- -------------------------------------------
None; not applicable.

Need for any Governmental Approval of Principal Products or
Services.
- ---------
On the effectiveness of the Company's Registration Statement on Form
10-SB, the Company became subject to Regulation 14A regarding proxy
solicitations, which was promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act").
Section 14(a) of the 1934 Act requires all companies with securities
registered pursuant to Section 12(g) thereof to comply with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding proxy
solicitations outlined in Regulation 14A. Matters submitted to stockholders of
the Company at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written
consent shall require the Company to provide its stockholders with the
information outlined in Schedules 14A or 14C of Regulation 14; preliminary
copies of this information must be submitted to the Securities and Exchange
Commission at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this
information are forwarded to stockholders.
Management is currently preparing an Information Statement on Schedule
14C, which will provide information to its stockholders with respect to the
pending WideBand merger.
The Company is also subject to the provisions of Section 13 of the 1934
Act. Under applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to this Section, the Company is required to file
(i) an annual report on Form 10-KSB with the Securities and Exchange
Commission within 90 days of the close of each fiscal year (Reg. Sections
240.13a-1 and 249.310b); (ii) a quarterly report on Form 10-QSB within 45 days
of the end of each of the first three quarters of its fiscal year (Reg.
Sections 240.13a-13 and 249.308b); and (iii) a current report on Form 8-K
within 15 days of the occurrence of certain material events (e.g., changes in
accountants, acquisitions or dispositions of a substantial amount of assets
not in the ordinary course of business) (Reg. Sections 240.13a-11 and
249.308). In addition, annual reports on Form 10-KSB must be accompanied by
audited financial statements as of the end of the issuer's most recent fiscal
year. These reporting requirements may deter potential reorganization
candidates that are not willing to undergo the public and agency scrutiny
resulting therefrom.
Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on
Business.
- ---------
The integrated disclosure system for small business issuers adopted by
the Securities and Exchange Commission in Release No. 34-30968 and effective
as of August 13, 1992, substantially modified the information and financial
requirements of a "Small Business Issuer," defined to be an issuer that has
revenues of less than $25 million; is a U.S. or Canadian issuer; is not an
investment company; and if a majority-owned subsidiary, the parent is also a
small business issuer; provided, however, an entity is not a small business
issuer if it has a public float (the aggregate market value of the issuer's
outstanding securities held by non-affiliates) of $25 million or more.
The Securities and Exchange Commission, state securities commissions and
the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc. ("NASAA") have
expressed an interest in adopting policies that will streamline the
registration process and make it easier for a small business issuer to have
access to the public capital markets. The present laws, rules and regulations
designed to promote availability to the small business issuer of these capital
markets and similar laws, rules and regulations that may be adopted in the
future, will substantially limit the demand for "blank check" companies like
the Company, and may make the use of these companies obsolete.
In the event that the Company completes the merger with WideBand, the
Company's operations will become subject to all of the governmental regulation
to which WideBand's operations are subject.
Research and Development.
- -------------------------
None; not applicable.
Cost and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws.
- -------------------------------------------------------
None; not applicable. However, environmental laws, rules and regulations
may have an adverse effect on the Company following the completion of the
WideBand merger or the completion of any other merger or acquisition
transaction to which the Company may become a party.
Number of Employees.
- --------------------
None.
Item 2. Description of Property.
------------------------
Other than cash and its holdings of corporate stocks and bonds, the
Company has virtually no assets, property or business; its principal executive
office address and telephone number are the business office address and
telephone number of its President, John Michael Coombs, and have been provided
at $1,319 and $1,819 for the years ended June 30, 1999, and June 30, 1998,
respectively. Because the Company has had no business, its activities during
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, were limited to keeping itself in good
standing in the State of Nevada and to preparing and filing the appropriate
reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and investigating
potential merger or other acquisition candidates. These activities have
consumed an insubstantial amount of management's time.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
------------------
The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceeding. To the
knowledge of management, no federal, state or local governmental agency is
presently contemplating any proceeding against the Company. No director,
executive officer or affiliate of the Company or owner of record or
beneficially of more than five percent of the Company's common stock is a
party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company
in any proceeding.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
----------------------------------------------------
No matter was submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders
during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Report. Jack R.
Coombs and John Michael Coombs, who collectively own approximately 55% of the
Company's issued and outstanding common stock, intend to vote to approve the
completion of the WideBand merger. The Company also intends to call a special
meeting of stockholders immediately before the anticipated closing of the
WideBand merger, at which the Company's remaining stockholders will be
permitted to vote on such merger. However, Messrs. Coombs and Coombs own
sufficient shares to approve the WideBand transaction and the approval of the
other stockholders is not necessary.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
---------------------------------------------------------
Market Information
- ------------------
The Company's common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board of the
NASD under the symbol "VISV"; however, the market for shares of the Company's
common stock is extremely limited. No assurance can be given that the present
limited market for the Company's common stock will continue or will be
maintained, and the sale of the Company's common stock pursuant to Rule 144 of
the Securities and Exchange Commission by Jack R. Coombs or his wife, Margaret
V. Coombs may have a substantial adverse impact on any such public market. See
Item 11 of this Report.
The high and low closing bid prices for shares of common stock of the
Company for each quarter within the last two fiscal years are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Bid
Quarter ending: High Low
- --------------- ---- ---
<S> <C> <C>

</TABLE>
These bid prices were obtained from the National Quotation Bureau, LLC
("NQB") and do not necessarily reflect actual transactions, retail markups,
mark downs or commissions.
No assurance can be given that any "established public market" will
develop in the common stock of the Company, regardless of whether the Company
is successful in completing the WideBand merger or any other acquisition,
reorganization or merger deemed by management to be beneficial for the
Company, or if any such market does develop, that it will continue or be
sustained for any period of time.
Holders
- -------
The number of record holders of the Company's common stock as of the date
of this Report is approximately 168.
Dividends
- ---------
The Company has not declared any cash dividends with respect to its
common stock and does not intend to declare dividends in the foreseeable
future. The future dividend policy of the Company cannot be ascertained with
any certainty, and until the Company completes the WideBand merger or any
other acquisition, reorganization or merger, as to which no assurance may be
given, no such policy will be formulated. There are no material restrictions
limiting, or that are likely to limit, the Company's ability to pay dividends
on its common stock.
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
----------------------------------------------------------
Plan of Operation.
- ------------------
The Company has not engaged in any material operations or had any
revenues from operations since its inception or during the last two fiscal
years. The Company's plan of operation for the next 12 months is to complete
the WideBand merger and continue with the business operations of WideBand, or,
if the WideBand transaction is not completed, to continue to seek the
acquisition of assets, properties or businesses that may benefit the Company
and its stockholders. As with the WideBand merger, management anticipates that
to achieve any such acquisition, the Company will issue shares of its common
stock as the sole consideration for such acquisition.
Upon completion of the WideBand merger, as to which there can be no
assurance, the Company will take over WideBand's operations, and the plan of
operation of WideBand will become that of the Company. The Company will
timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission periodic reports
disclosing its plan of operation following the completion of the WideBand
merger.
If it is not able to complete the WideBand merger, during the next 12
months, the Company's only foreseeable cash requirements will relate to
maintaining the Company in good standing and preparing and filing its reports
under Section 13 of the 1934 Act or the payment of expenses associated with
reviewing or investigating any potential business venture, which the Company
expects to pay from its cash resources. As of June 30, 1999, it had no cash or
cash equivalents; payment of such expenses would likely require the Company to
sell a small portion of its investment portfolio, which was valued at $418,999
at June 30, 1999.
Results of Operations.
- ----------------------
Other than maintaining its good corporate standing in the State of Utah
and (following its change of domicile in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995)
in the State of Nevada and seeking the acquisition of assets, properties or
businesses that may benefit the Company and its stockholders, the Company has
had no material business operations in the two most recent fiscal years.
The Company identified WideBand as a potential merger candidate after the end
of the period covered by this Report.
The Company's assets consist primarily of holdings of corporate bonds,
which had market values at June 30, 1999, and 1998, of $375,603 and $334,661,
respectively. In addition, at June 30, 1999, the Company held corporate stocks
valued at $43,396, as compared to $20,748 at June 30, 1998. Total assets on
these dates were $548,858 and $506,881, respectively. See Item 7 of this
Report.
Net income to the Company, after provision for income taxes, increased to
$44,726 from $25,303 in the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999, and 1998,
respectively, due primarily to increased interest income from its investments
and decreased operating expenses in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, as
compared to the previous fiscal year. See Item 7 of this Report.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
- --------------------------------
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, the Company's cash and cash
equivalents decreased from $90,738 to $0, due principally to increased
purchases of securities during the period. At June 30, 1999, the Company's
investments in securities were valued at $418,999, as compared to $355,409 at
June 30, 1998. Total stockholders' equity decreased to $430,325 at June 30,
1999, from $506,881 at June 30, 1998.

(1) During the years indicated, $500 was paid
to these directors and officers for services
rendered during the year. Because the
Company has no firm policy with respect to such
compensation, it has been characterized as a bonus.
(2) On July 8, 1996, the Board of Directors of the
Company unanimously resolved to grant options to
the following directors and executive officers to
purchase "unregistered" and "restricted" shares
of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.25
per share: John Michael Coombs (50,000 shares);
Terry S. Pantelakis (50,000 shares); and Sandra
E. Hansen (5,000 shares). These options, which
were exercisable at any time in the future, were
granted in consideration of services rendered by
each of these persons during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1996. Each director abstained
from voting on the granting of the option to
himself or herself. On August 25, 1999, which is
subsequent to the period covered by this Report,
all of these options were exercised. The option
held by Ms. Hansen was exercised by Pavant Oil
Corporation, a secured creditor of Ms. Hansen.
Pavant Oil Corporation may be deemed to be controlled
by John Michael Coombs. See Item 11.
(3) John Michael Coombs, has acted as the Company's
legal counsel since 1992. Each of these figures
reflects the amount of legal fees that the Company
has paid to Mr. Coombs for the periods indicated.
Compensation of Directors.
- --------------------------
There are no standard arrangements pursuant to which the Company's
directors are compensated for any services provided as director. No additional
amounts are payable to the Company's directors for committee participation or
special assignments.
Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control
Arrangements.
- -------------
There are no employment contracts, compensatory plans or arrangements,
including payments to be received from the Company, with respect to any
director or executive officer of the Company which would in any way result in
payments to any such person because of his or her resignation, retirement or
other termination of employment with the Company or any subsidiary, any
change in control of the Company, or a change in the person's responsibilities
following a change in control of the Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Vis Viva Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Vis Viva Corporation (a
development stage company) as of June 30, 1999 and 1998, and the related
statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity,
and cash flows for the years then ended, and cumulative for the period
September 11, 1980 (date of inception) through June 30, 1999. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. The financial statements of Vis Viva Corporation from inception
through June 30, 1994 (not presented herein) were audited by other auditors
whose report, dated September 26, 1994, expressed an unqualified opinion on
those statements. Our opinion, in so far as it relates to the cumulative
amounts for the period from inception through June 30, 1994, is based solely
on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of the
other auditors provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Vis Viva Corporation as of June 30, 1999
and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
then ended, and cumulative for the period September 11, 1980 (date of
inception) through June 30, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization Vis Viva Corporation (the Company) was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Utah on September 11, 1980. Effective June 30, 1995, the
Company changed its domicile to the State of Nevada. Vis Viva Corporation is
a development stage company. It is primarily engaged in the process of
investigating business opportunities which appear to have profitable potential
for the Company.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. An estimate which is subject to
change in the near future is the unrealized gain (loss) on investment in
securities.
Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Investment in Securities Investments in equity and debt securities are
stated at fair value, based on quoted market prices, and are classified as
available-for-sale. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in stockholders'
equity, net of related deferred income taxes. Gains and losses on disposition
are based on the net proceeds less the cost basis of the security sold, using
the specific identification method.
Stock-Based Compensation Compensation arising from stock options granted to
directors and officers is accounted for using the intrinsic-value-based
method.
Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing
net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of
outstanding stock options.
NOTE 2--INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
Marketable equity and debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and
are stated at fair value. At June 30, 1999 and 1998, available-for-sale
securities consisted of the following:

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated and made effective as of this
6th day of September, 1999, by and between VIS VIVA CORPORATION, a publicly
held Nevada corporation ("VISV") and WIDEBAND CORPORATION, a Missouri
corporation ("WIDEBAND").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of VISV and WIDEBAND deem the merger of
WIDEBAND with and into VISV on the terms herein set forth to be desirable and
in the best interests of their respective stockholders and, subject to
approval by their respective shareholders, desire to adopt this Agreement and
Plan of Merger to result in a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and
WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of VISV and WIDEBAND have approved this
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") and have directed that the
Agreement and the merger contemplated hereby be submitted to their respective
stockholders for adoption.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, VISV
and WIDEBAND hereby agree that WIDEBAND shall be merged with and into VISV,
which shall be the surviving corporation, and that the plan, terms and
conditions of such merger shall be as follows:
ARTICLE I
Plan of Merger of WIDEBAND with and into VISV
1.01. The Merger. On the Effective Date of the Merger (as defined in
Article 1.05), WIDEBAND shall be merged with and into VISV, the separate
existence of WIDEBAND (except as it may be continued by operation of law)
shall cease, and VISV as the surviving corporation shall continue its
corporate existence under the laws of the State of Nevada and VISV shall
possess all of the rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises and
authority, of a public as well as of a private nature, and be subject to all
the restrictions, disabilities and duties of WIDEBAND; and all and singular,
the rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises and authority of
WIDEBAND, and all assets and property of every description, real, personal and
mixed, and every interest therein, wherever located, and all debts or other
obligations belonging to or due to WIDEBAND on whatever account, as well for
stock subscriptions as all other things in action or belonging to WIDEBAND on
whatever account, as well as for stock subscriptions as all other things in
action or belonging to WIDEBAND, shall be vested in VISV; and all assets,
property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises and authority,
and all and every other interest, shall be thereafter as effectually the
property of VISV as they were of WIDEBAND, but all rights of creditors and all
liens upon any property of WIDEBAND shall be preserved unimpaired, and all
debts, liabilities and duties of WIDEBAND shall thenceforth be attached to
VISV and may be enforced against VISV to the same extent as if said debts,
liabilities and duties had been incurred or contracted by VISV prior to this
transaction.
1.02. Adoption of Plan; Requirement of Shareholder Approval of Both
WIDEBAND and VISV; Dissenters' Rights; Notification. The Merger transaction
contemplated hereby will require shareholder approval of the transaction under
both Nevada and Missouri corporate law. See Sections 78.451 through 78.466,
Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS), as amended, titled MERGER; EXCHANGE OF SHARES.
VISV intends to accomplish such approval by means of a consent of a majority
of its shareholders as authorized by Section 78.320, NRS, titled Stockholders'
meetings: Quorum; Consent for actions taken without meeting. If Nevada law
requires that VISV give dissenters' rights of appraisal as contemplated in NRS
Sections 78.471 through 78.502, titled RIGHTS OF DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS, VISV
will do so. Accordingly, VISV shall not solicit proxies even though, as a
Section 12(g) "reporting company," it is subject to the Proxy Rules
promulgated under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("the
'34 Act"). VISV will instead provide its shareholders with an Information
Statement as required under Section 14(c) of the '34 Act and the 14C series of
rules promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission
("Commission"). VISV will also notice-up a shareholders' meeting in Salt Lake
City at an appropriate time immediately in advance of the anticipated Closing
at which it will welcome shareholders to attend and vote their shares if they
so desire. In an effort to establish an exemption from registration for this
transaction, VISV will also be providing such Information Statement, among
other materials such as purchaser suitability questionnaires and the like to
the Shareholders of WIDEBAND. WIDEBAND shall conduct its own shareholders'
meeting, after its shareholders have received appropriate disclosure materials
on VISV and the transaction contemplated hereby, and they have had the
opportunity to have any questions they or a purchaser representative, as
applicable, may have, answered. See Exhibit 10.02 hereto (containing a form
of investment and acknowledgment letter each WIDEBAND Shareholder is to sign
and furnish VISV prior to Closing). In seeking approval of the transaction by
a majority of WIDEBAND's shareholders, WIDEBAND shall also be obligated, as
and if required by Missouri corporate law, to give its Shareholders
dissenter's rights of appraisal.
1.03. Proposals To Be Approved By the Shareholders of Both WIDEBAND
and VISV. The Shareholders of both WIDEBAND and VISV shall approve the
following proposals: (i) approval of this Plan and Agreement of Merger
("Agreement"), including the issuance of the finder's, agent's or consultant's
post-split shares to be issued in connection therewith (see Article 5.14
below); (2) approval of the recapitalization or 1 for 7 reverse-split of
VISV's shares as necessary to effectuate the transaction; (3) approval of the
name change for VISV to "WideBand Corporation"; (4) approval of the slate of
directors to assume positions on the Board of VISV upon the Closing, persons
to be designated by WIDEBAND (seeArticle 2.02 below); and (5) approval of any
other amendments to the Articles of Incorporation of VISV if necessary, such
as to broaden the scope of its corporate purpose to include the business
operations presently carried on by WIDEBAND.
1.04. Establishment of Record Date. The Record Date for those VISV
shareholders entitled to vote on this Agreement shall be August 9, 1999 or a
later date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the date VISV's Information
Statement is disseminated to VISV's shareholders. WIDEBAND shall establish
its own record date, if necessary, for its shareholders to vote on and approve
the transaction in accordance with Missouri corporate law.
1.05. Effective Date of the Merger. The merger shall become
effective as of the close of business on the date of filing as provided in
Article 4.02 (the "Effective Date of the Merger").
1.06. Instruments and Further Assurances. From time to time, as and
when requested by VISV, or by its successors or assigns, the officers and
directors of WIDEBAND last in office shall execute and deliver such deeds and
other instruments for transfer and shall take or cause to be taken such
further or such other actions as shall be reasonably necessary in order to
vest or perfect in VISV, or to confirm of record or otherwise to VISV, to the
extent such officers and directors have the power so to do, title to and
possession of all the property, interests, assets, rights, privileges,
immunities, powers, franchises and authority of WIDEBAND.
ARTICLE 2
Articles of Incorporation, Directors and Officers and By-Laws
2.01. Articles of Incorporation. Except as provided below, the
Articles of Incorporation of VISV, as in effect on the Effective Date of the
Merger, shall be the Articles of Incorporation of VISV, as the surviving
corporation, until they are amended as provided therein or by law. Upon the
Effective Date of the Merger, the Articles of Incorporation of VISV shall be
amended to change the name of VISV to "WideBand Corporation," among other
amendments as may be necessary to effectuate and carry out the terms and
provisions of this Agreement. A copy of the form of Amended Articles of
Incorporation of VISV and the form of Articles of Merger to be filed in both
the States of Missouri and Nevada, thereby establishing the Effective Date of
the Merger, are attached hereto as Exhibit 2.01.
2.02. Directors and Officers. Upon the Effective Date of the Merger,
the Board of Directors and Officers of VISV, the surviving corporation, shall
consist of the persons identified in Exhibit 2.02 hereto. Said directors
shall hold office as provided in the By-Laws of the surviving corporation. At
the VISV shareholders' meeting to be held pursuant to Article 8.01 below, the
shareholders of VISV will vote on the election of the persons listed in
Exhibit 2.02 to be directors of VISV until its next annual meeting or until
they or any one of them resign and their respective resignations are accepted.
2.03. By-Laws. The By-Laws of VISV, as in effect on the Effective
Date of the Merger, shall be the By-Laws of the surviving corporation, until
they are amended as provided therein or otherwise by law.
ARTICLE 3
Conversion and Exchange of Shares
3.01 Conversion of Shares. The manner of converting or exchanging
the shares of VISV and WIDEBAND shall be as follows:
(a) Each share of the Common Capital Stock, $.001 par value per share, of
VISV ("VISV Common Stock") that is issued and outstanding on the Effective
Date of the Merger shall be reverse-split into one (1) share for every seven
(7) shares of stock after the merger. For example, there are currently
1,270,000 shares of VISV issued and outstanding with open-ended options to
acquire an additional 105,000 shares @ $0.25 per share. It is anticipated
that these options shall be exercised prior to Closing, in which case there
will be 1,375,000 shares of VISV then-issued and outstanding. Immediately
prior to the Effective Date of the Merger and of the 1 for 7 reverse split,
there shall be 196,429 shares of VISV issued and outstanding. Fractional
shares of VISV Common Stock which result from such reverse-split will be
rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares.
(b) Each share of Common Capital Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of
WIDEBAND ("WIDEBAND Common Stock") that is issued and outstanding on the
Effective Date of the Merger shall, by virtue of the merger, be converted,
one-for-one, into a total of twelve million eight hundred and one thousand
eight hundred and nineteen (12,801,819) fully paid and non-assessable shares
of VISV Common Stock. (This figure is larger than the figure of 12,713,601
used in the August 9, 1999, Memorandum of Intent. This is because the
Memorandum of Intent neglected or failed to recognize the 88,218 "restricted"
shares issued to Mr. Donald N. Fenn on or about August 5, 1999, in
consideration for his conveyance, to WIDEBAND, of various hard assets in which
Mr. Fenn had a cost basis of as much as $441,090, assets which, at the same
time, may have a fair market value in excess thereof. See also Article
6.04(a) below. Two individuals also have outstanding options to acquire one
hundred thousand (100,000) shares of WIDEBAND at $5.00 per share, options that
expire in the years 2000, 2003 and 2004. See Article 6.02 below. If any part
or portion of such currently outstanding options to acquire an additional
100,000 shares of WIDEBAND stock are exercised prior to Closing, additional
VISV Common Stock shall be issued upon Closing to such persons so exercising
his or her option(s) or any part thereof. No fractional shares of VISV Common
Stock will be issued to WIDEBAND Shareholders upon conversion of the WIDEBAND
Common Stock to VISV Common Stock. Finally, while WIDEBAND's shareholders
voted at a September 25, 1996, shareholders' meeting to authorize the issuance
of certain convertible preferred stock, its Articles of Incorporation have
never been amended to reflect such nor have any of such shares been issued.
Accordingly, such non-existent shares will not be affected by this transaction
nor, as a result thereof, will any such non-existent but authorized shares
otherwise be convertible into VISV Common Stock.
(c) As described in Article 5.14 below, there will also be fifty five
thousand (55,000) post-split VISV shares issued upon Closing to certain
persons as a finder's, agent's or consultant's fee, action which is also
intended to be approved by the shareholders. Taking into consideration the
196,429 reverse-split shares of VISV remaining after the Closing, adding in
the 12,801,819 shares to be issued to the Shareholders of WIDEBAND in the
exchange, plus the 55,000 shares post-split shares referred to herein, there
will be no less than 13,053,248 shares of VISV then-issued and outstanding
upon the Effective Date. (This figure ignores taking into consideration the
issuance of any shares issuable to the WIDEBAND optionees prior to Closing by
WIDEBAND, an event that could occur. Such options, contrary to the Memorandum
of Intent, must legally survive Closing.)
3.02 Exchange of Certificates or Delivery of Shares. On and after
the Effective Date of the Merger, each holder of a certificate or certificates
representing WIDEBAND Common Stock, upon presentation and surrender of such
certificate or certificates to VISV or its transfer agent, Atlas Stock
Transfer Corp., shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a
certificate or certificates representing the number of full shares of VISV
Common Stock to which he is entitled, as provided in Article 3.01. Until so
presented and surrendered in exchange for a certificate representing VISV
Common Stock, each certificate which represented issued and outstanding shares
of WIDEBAND Common Stock on the Effective Date of the Merger shall, except as
provided in the following sentence, be deemed for all purposes to evidence
ownership of the number of full shares of VISV Common Stock into which such
shares of WIDEBAND Common Stock have been converted pursuant to the merger.
Until surrender of such certificates in exchange for certificates representing
VISV Common Stock, the holder thereof shall not be entitled to vote at any
shareholders meeting of VISV.
ARTICLE 4
Closing; Effective Date of Merger
4.01 Closing. The closing of the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement shall take place at 124 South 600 East, Suite 100, Salt Lake City,
Utah, at such date and time, within five (5) business days after the
satisfaction or waiver of the last of the conditions set forth in Articles 9,
10 and 11 hereof to be satisfied or waived, as the parties may fix. The
closing of such transactions is herein called the "Closing" and the date of
that Closing is referred to herein as the "Closing Date."
4.02 Effective Date. Subject to the conditions in this agreement
and to the execution and filing of certificates or articles of merger and
other documents as may be required by Nevada and Missouri corporate law, the
merger shall become effective at the close of business on such date as such
filings are made or at such other date as stated in the certificate or
articles of merger (the "Effective Date of the Merger"). Unless this
Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to the provision of Article 12
hereof, such filings shall be made on or as soon as practicable after the
Closing.
ARTICLE 5
Representations and Warranties of VISV
5.01. Organization, Standing, Qualification, etc. VISV is a publicly
held "development stage" Nevada corporation duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. Its registered
agent is State Agent & Transfer Syndicate, Inc., located at 318 North Carson
Street, Carson City, Nevada 89701, phone no. (800) 253-1013, Website:
www.stagent.com. VISV has all requisite corporate power and is duly
authorized, qualified, franchised and licensed under all applicable laws,
regulations, ordinances and orders of public authorities to own its properties
and assets and to carry on its business as it is presently being conducted.
To the best knowledge, information and belief of management, the nature of
VISV's business and the ownership of its properties do not require it to
become qualified in any state as a foreign corporation and therefore, it has
not done so. VISV was originally incorporated in the State of Utah in 1980.
In May 1981, it commenced a public offering of its securities to Utah
residents in reliance on the Section 3(a)(11) or intrastate exemption from
registration, including Rule 147 promulgated thereunder by the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC" or "Commission"). In 1982, VISV obtained a "come
to rest" opinion of counsel by which VISV Common Stock was thereafter eligible
for trading in interstate commerce. Effective June 30, 1995, VISV changed its
domicile from the State of Utah to the State of Nevada. In March 1996, it
filed a Form 10-SB with the Commission by which it became a Section 12(g)
"reporting company" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("the '34 Act").
All of VISV filings with the Commission since March 1996 are available on
EDGAR, the Commission's publicly available Database. As of August 9, 1999,
VISV had approximately 168 stockholders of record. Its transfer agent is and
always has been Atlas Stock Transfer located in Murray, Utah.
5.02. Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of VISV consists
of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, with $.001 par value, of which 1,270,000
shares are currently issued and outstanding. As stated above, there are
outstanding options to acquire 105,000 additional shares at $0.25 per share.
All issued and outstanding shares are duly authorized, fully paid, validly
issued and non-assessable in accordance with applicable law. No dividends or
other distribution of the assets of VISV have been declared or paid in the
capital stock of VISV. Except for the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, there are no outstanding warrants, options, preemptive rights or
rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of VISV's capital stock or any
outstanding securities that are convertible into VISV's capital stock. The
VISV Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement have been duly authorized
and, when issued to the shareholders of WIDEBAND in exchange for their
WIDEBAND Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
5.03 Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws and Minutes. The complete
Articles of Incorporation and the By-Laws of VISV, as will be in effect on the
Effective Date of the Merger, are attached hereto as Exhibit 5.03.
5.04. Financial Statements and Assets.
(a) VISV's audited financial statements for its 1998 fiscal year ended
June 30, 1999, are anticipated to reflect in excess of $300,000 in net worth
or shareholders' equity, an amount which excludes accrued interest receivable
as of such date from corporate bond investments.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 5.04 are the complete audited financial
statements of VISV as of June 30, 1999 (hereinafter referred to as the "VISV
Financial Statements").
All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the
periods involved. As of the date of any of such balance sheets, except as and
to the extent reflected or reserved against therein, VISV did not have any
liabilities or obligations (absolute or contingent) which should be reflected
in a balance sheet or the notes thereto prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and all assets reflected therein are, to the
best knowledge, information and belief of management, properly reported and
present fairly the value of the assets of VISV in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. To the best knowledge, information and belief
of management, such statements of operations present fairly the results of
operations of VISV for the periods indicated. To the best knowledge,
information and belief of management, such statements of changes in financial
position present fairly the information that should be presented therein in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The books and records, financial and others, of VISV are in all material
respects complete and correct and have been maintained in accordance with good
business and accounting practice.
5.05. Authorization. The Board of Directors of VISV has approved the

consultants employed or alleged to have been employed by them in connection

ARTICLE 6
Representations and Warranties of WIDEBAND
WIDEBAND hereby warrants and represents to VISV as follows:
6.01. Organization, Standing, Qualification, etc. WIDEBAND is a
Missouri corporation engaged in the development, manufacture and marketing of
high performance computer networking products. It was duly organized in
September 1994 as Jacomo Corporation and, on September 1, 1995, Articles of
Amendment were filed with the State of Missouri changing its name to "Wideband
Corporation." WIDEBAND is validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Missouri and has all requisite corporate power necessary
to engage in the business it is currently engaged in. It is duly authorized,
qualified, franchised and licensed under all applicable laws, regulations,
ordinances and orders of public authorities to own its properties and assets
and to carry on its business as it is presently being conducted. WIDEBAND is
qualified to do business in all states where the nature of WIDEBAND's business
and the ownership of its properties require it to become qualified as a
foreign corporation.
6.02. Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of WIDEBAND
consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, having a par value of $0.001,
of which no more than 12,801,819 shares will be issued and outstanding as of
the Effective Date of the Merger. (This figure does not account for, or
include, the potential exercise of certain outstanding options to acquire
100,000 additional WIDEBAND shares at $5.00 per share. See also Article
3.01(b) above.) All outstanding shares of WIDEBAND are duly authorized, fully
paid, validly issued and non-assessable in accordance with applicable law. No
dividends or other distribution of the assets of WIDEBAND have been declared
or paid in the capital stock of WIDEBAND. Except as set forth in Exhibit 6.02
attached hereto, there are no outstanding warrants, options, preemptive rights
or rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of WIDEBAND's capital stock
or any outstanding securities that are convertible into WIDEBAND's capital
stock.
6.03. Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws. The complete Articles
of Incorporation and the By-Laws of WIDEBAND as will be in effect on the
Closing Date, are attached hereto as Exhibit 6.03.
6.04. Financial Statements and Assets.
(a) As of August 6, 1999, WIDEBAND had received $2,598,000 in paid in
capital and an additional $441,090 in the form of hard assets conveyed to the
company in exchange for stock. If and when its outstanding stock options of
100,000 shares exercisable at $5.00 per share are in fact exercised, it shall
receive an additional $500,000 in paid in capital. It has no debt. As of the
date of this Agreement, WIDEBAND has a total of 12,801,819 common capital
shares issued and outstanding and the outstanding stock options to acquire
100,000 additional shares at $5.00 per share. While its shareholders
authorized the issuance of a convertible preferred shares in September 1996,
no such shares have been issued and WIDEBAND's Articles of Incorporation have
never been amended to take account of the same. WIDEBAND has an Exclusive
Licensing Agreement with Roger E. Billings dba Billings Intellectual Property
relative to various patents and patent applications, an agreement which
replaces and supercedes, in all particulars, a Master License Agreement dated
October 24, 1994 by and between Dr. Billings dba Billings Intellectual
Properties and WIDEBAND's predecessor, Jamoco Corporation. The agreement
also authorizes the corporation to use the "WideBand" trademark. The
agreement gives Dr. Billings a one-and one-half percent (1 1/2%) royalty with
respect to the licensing, marketing and sale of such products and inventions.
Currently, there are five (5) U.S. patents that have issued. An additional
two (2) U.S. patents are pending and expected to issue in the near future.
Numerous international patents on the WideBand technology are also pending.
The parties acknowledge that in a certified audit of WIDEBAND under GAAP and
GAAS, the value of WIDEBAND's patents, trademarks and copyrights (i.e., its
Exclusive Licensing Agreement) may be given nominal value. To preserve the
integrity of WIDEBAND's properties and assets, certain significant employees
have executed non-disclosure and non-compete agreements. See Article 10.06
below.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 6.04 are the unaudited balance sheet and
income statement of WIDEBAND as of its most recent quarter preceding the
Closing, prepared by the accounting firm which will undertake and prepare its
post-Closing, audited financial statements (collectively referred to as the
"WIDEBAND Financial Statements"). If other supplementary accounting
information, in addition to that identified in the previous sentence, is
necessary for Closing, WIDEBAND shall prepare such. WIDEBAND is informed and
believes that within 75 days of Closing the transaction, it must file, as part
of an 8-K Current Report to be filed within 15 days of Closing, an audited
balance sheet for its most recent fiscal year end, audited income statements
for its most recent two fiscal year ends and other standard inclusions such as
a statement of stockholders' equity and statement of cash flows. WIDEBAND is
on track with its auditors in preparing such audited financial statements.
All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the
periods involved. As of the date of any of such balance sheets, except as and
to the extent reflected or reserved against therein, WIDEBAND did not have any
liabilities or obligations (absolute or contingent) which should be reflected
in a balance sheet or the notes hereto prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and all assets reflected therein are properly
reported and present fairly the value of the assets of WIDEBAND in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. Such statements of operations
present fairly the results of operations of WIDEBAND for the periods
indicated. Such statements of changes in financial position present fairly
the information that should be presented therein in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
6.05. Authorization. The Board of Directors of WIDEBAND has approved
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, has authorized the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by WIDEBAND, and has authorized the
submission of this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby to the
WIDEBAND shareholders for their consideration with the recommendation that it
be approved. WIDEBAND has full power, authority and legal right to enter
into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and
this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of WIDEBAND
enforceable in accordance with its terms.
6.06. Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or
investigation pending, at law or in equity, or to the knowledge of WIDEBAND's
management, threatened, against or affecting WIDEBAND before or in any court,
either state or federal, public board, or body which calls into question the
creation, organization or existence of WIDEBAND, the validity of this
Agreement or the authority of WIDEBAND to execute, deliver and carry out the
terms of the Agreement or which judgment, order or finding can reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or
otherwise) of WIDEBAND. WIDEBAND has no knowledge of any default on its part
with respect to any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, award, rule or
regulation of any court, arbitrator or governmental agency or instrumentality.
6.07. Subsidiaries. WIDEBAND does not own, directly or indirectly,
any interest or investment, whether equity or debt, in any corporation,

and has timely filed all reports and any other documents required by it to be
filed with any governmental agency. The execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement and the taking of action contemplated hereby will not result
in any violation of or be in conflict with or constitute a default under (a)
the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of WIDEBAND, or (b) any material
agreement or instrument to which WIDEBAND or any consolidated subsidiary is a
party or by which it is bound, or (c) any material judgment, decree or order
to which WIDEBAND is subject, or result in the creation of any material lien,
charge or encumbrance on any of the properties of WIDEBAND.
6.09. Contracts and Commitments. WIDEBAND is not a party to any
contract, agreement, other commitment or instrument or subject to any charter

business, operations, properties, assets or condition of WIDEBAND.
6.10 Liabilities. Except as set forth in the WIDEBAND Financial
Statements or in any exhibit, WIDEBAND, to the best of its knowledge, after
due inquiry, has no debt, obligation or liability of any nature, whether

any person or entity, including any of its officers, directors, or
shareholders, in excess of $1,000.

marketable title to all of its properties, interests in properties and assets,

in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
ARTICLE 8
Covenants of VISV Prior to the Effective Date of Merger
Between the date hereof and the Effective Date of the Merger:
8.01. Stockholders' Meeting. While it is anticipated that a majority
of the Shareholders of VISV will approve this Agreement by consent, the Board
of Directors of VISV will nonetheless submit this Agreement to its
stockholders for their approval and will conduct a Shareholders Meeting in
Salt Lake City, Utah, to be duly called and held at the earliest practicable
date as may be agreed upon in writing by VISV and WIDEBAND. At that meeting,
the Board of Directors of VISV will also nominate the persons listed in
Exhibit 2.02 to be elected to the Board of Directors of VISV and will
recommend their election to the VISV shareholders.
8.02. Access. VISV will afford to the officers and other authorized
representatives of WIDEBAND, access to the plants, properties, books and
records of VISV and will furnish WIDEBAND with such additional financial and
operating data and other information as to the business and properties of
VISV, as may be necessary for WIDEBAND to evaluate thoroughly, prior to the
Effective Date of the Merger, the business, assets, operations and financial
condition of VISV, as WIDEBAND may from time to time reasonably request. If,
for any reason, the merger contemplated by the Agreement is not consummated,
WIDEBAND will use its best efforts to cause all confidential information
obtained by it from VISV to be treated as such, will also use its best efforts
not to use such information in a manner detrimental to VISV and will promptly
return to VISV all documents, papers, books, records and other materials (and
all copies thereof) obtained from VISV in the course of its investigation and
evaluation of VISV.
8.03. Representations. VISV will take all action necessary to render
accurate, as of the Effective Date of the Merger, VISV's representations and
warranties contained herein, and it will refrain from taking any action that
would render any such representation or warranty inaccurate as of such time.
VISV will use its best efforts to perform or cause to be satisfied each
covenant or condition to be performed or satisfied by it.
8.04. Preservation of Business. VISV will carry on its business in
substantially the same manner of it has heretofore and shall perform in all
material respects all of its obligations under material contracts, leases and
documents relating to or affecting its assets, property and business and will
use its best efforts to preserve intact its business organization and its good
will with its suppliers, customers and other having business relations with
it. In this regard and while it cannot predict the market fluctuations of its
existing securities, it is anticipated that VISV will have as much as $350,000
in cash, liquid assets upon Closing, the large majority of which is in the
nature of marketable securities, some of which are "unpriced," meaning that
there is not an active, trading market for such particular securities, and no
unpaid liabilities other than the legal, accounting and travel costs and
expenses incident to Closing the Transaction, an amount which is not expected
to exceed $15,000. In the event that it becomes necessary or advisable to
sell or otherwise dispose of any security in VISV's Herzog, Heine & Geduld
brokerage account, VISV agrees to consult with WIDEBAND and/or Mr. Donald N.
Fenn prior to selling or disposing of the same.
8.05. Approvals. VISV will use its best efforts to obtain all
licenses or other approvals required to be obtained by it from any appropriate
governmental or regulatory body or other person in connection with the
carrying out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
8.06. Public Announcements. VISV will not, without the prior consent
of WIDEBAND (or, in the case of an announcement required by applicable
securities law, without prior consultation with WIDEBAND) make any
announcement to the public concerning the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. In this regard, WIDEBAND has already agreed that VISV may file an
8-K Current Report with the Commission 15 days after August 9, 1999, attaching
copies of the Memorandum of Intent and Press Release of same date.
8.07. Notice of Breach. VISV will immediately give notice to WIDEBAND
of the occurrence of any event or the failure of any event to occur that
results in a breach of any representation or warranty by VISV or a failure by
VISV to comply with any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein.
8.08. Negotiations with Third Parties. VISV will not, without the
prior approval of WIDEBAND, initiate or encourage discussions or negotiations
with third parties relating to or otherwise approve (or approve without prior
discussions with WIDEBAND any unsolicited offer regarding) any merger, sale,
or other disposition of any substantial part of VISV's assets or stock.
8.09. Required Information. VISV will furnish WIDEBAND with all
information concerning VISV that is reasonably required for inclusion in the
proxy or other disclosure materials used by WIDEBAND to obtain approval of
this Plan and Agreement from its Shareholders.
8.10. Proxy or Information Statement. As of the date of the mailing
of the Proxy Materials and as of the date of the VISV stockholders meeting to
be held pursuant to Article 8.01, the information provided and to provided by
VISV to WIDEBAND for use in VISV's Information Statement and in any other
proxy soliciting material to be used by WIDEBAND or VISV in connection with
the merger, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made
therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.

issuance of the shares subject of this Agreement. In the event that Rule
506 of Regulation D of the General Rules and Regulations of the Commission is

Shareholders of WIDEBAND upon Closing, WIDEBAND agrees to further cooperate in
providing counsel with the necessary factual and other information concerning
WIDEBAND's shareholders and their relationship to it, its principals and each
other as necessary to enable counsel to issue a closing opinion that the
issuance of the VISV shares to the Shareholders of WIDEBAND, as provided for
