PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
YOU SHOULD READ THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY TOGETHER WITH THE MORE
DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING OUR COMPANY, OUR COMMON STOCK AND OUR FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND NOTES APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
OUR COMPANY
OVERVIEW
Our Company is incorporated in Florida. Our executive offices are
located at 1919 West Lone Cactus Drive, Phoenix, Arizona 85021, and our
telephone number is (623) 492-9200. Our world wide web address is
http://www.ibizcorp.com. Information contained on our website is not part of
this prospectus.
Through our wholly-owned operating subsidiary, INVNSYS Technology
Corporation, we design, manufacture and distribute desktop computers, monitors,
transactional printers, financial application keyboards, numeric keypads and
related products. We also market a line of original equipment manufacturer
notebook computers and distribute transactional and color printers.
We recently expanded our business to include network integration
services and digital subscriber line high-speed Internet connection services. We
have also recently acquired assets from a company engaged in the business to
business sale of software and intend to incorporate software sales into our
business.
Founded in 1979, INVNSYS has evolved from a distributor of bank
automation computer systems to a provider of a variety of computer products
targeted at both the commercial and personal markets. Throughout its history,
INVNSYS has provided innovative products to satisfy its customers' demands.
PRODUCTS
Our product groups currently include:
- Business Application Small Footprint Computers. Designed for
limited space environments, we believe our iT-8000 has the
smallest base or footprint of any desktop in the personal
computer industry.
- Personal Computers. We offer two small footprint personal
computers, the Safari and the Sahara.
- Keyboards. We market a range of keyboards and numeric keypads
targeted at financial institutions. We recently introduced an
innovative keyboard called "KeySync," specifically designed
for use with hand-held personal organizers such as 3COM's Palm
Pilot.
1
<PAGE> 7
- Displays and Monitors. We sell a line of space-saving,
zero-emission LCD flat panel displays. We believe our LCD
panels take up less than one-tenth of the space needed for an
equivalent cathode ray tube monitor and are some of the
thinnest available on the market. We also offer a line of
traditional monitors.
- Notebook Computers. We market a complete line of competitively
priced, build-to-order notebook computers under the name
"iBook." Currently, we sell three models, the Roadrunner, the
Apache and the Phoenix.
- Printers and Peripherals. We are an authorized distributor of
Epson printers and peripherals and currently offer two
transactional printers. We recently began offering Tektronix
color printers.
SERVICES
We recently began offering the following services:
- Network Integration Services. We have hired a Chief Technology
Officer with significant industry contacts and now have
contracts with American Express and Motorola.
- Digital Subscriber Line Services. In December 1999, we started
offering high-speed Internet connection services marketed to
commercial customers.
MARKETING, SALES AND DISTRIBUTION
We market our products directly to end users through a direct sales
force, regional re-sellers, value-added providers in the banking and
point-of-sale markets and Internet commerce sites. We market our full range of
products directly to retail customers through our website at www.ibizcorp.com.
MANUFACTURING
Our products are engineered and manufactured by various entities in
Taiwan. Manufacturers build our products to our specifications with
non-proprietary components. We engage in final assembly, functional testing and
quality control in our Phoenix, Arizona facility.
SERVICE AND SUPPORT
We provide our customers with a comprehensive service and support
program. Technical support is provided to customers via a toll-free telephone
number as well as through our website.
Our products have either a one or three year limited warranty
covering parts and service. In addition, we offer extended service agreements,
which may extend warranty coverage for up to two additional years.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in the common stock involves certain risks. You should
review these "Risk Factors" beginning on page 4.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

over-the-counter market or on any exchange on which our common stock is listed.
Shares may also be sold in block transactions or private transactions or
otherwise, through brokers or dealers. Brokers or dealers may be paid
commissions or receive sales discounts. The selling securityholders must pay
their own commissions and absorb the discounts. Brokers or dealers used by the
selling securityholders may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities
Act. In addition, the selling securityholders will be underwriters under the
Securities Act with respect to the common stock offered.

This prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements which
involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements
can generally be identified because the context of the statement includes words
such as "may," "will," "except," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "continue,"
"believe," or other similar words. Similarly, statements that describe our
future plans, objectives and goals are also forward-looking statements. Our
factual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those
expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain
factors, including those listed in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this
prospectus.
RISK FACTORS
INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU
SHOULD CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF RISKS AS WELL AS OTHER INFORMATION
IN THIS PROSPECTUS BEFORE EXERCISING DEBENTURES, WARRANTS OR OPTIONS. THE RISKS
AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES. ADDITIONAL RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES NOT PRESENTLY KNOWN TO US OR THAT WE CURRENTLY DEEM IMMATERIAL
ALSO MAY IMPAIR OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY
OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED. IN SUCH CASE, THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR
COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE, AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
EXCEPT FOR HISTORICAL INFORMATION, THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS
PROSPECTUS AND IN OUR SEC REPORTS ARE "FORWARD LOOKING" STATEMENTS ABOUT OUR
EXPECTED FUTURE BUSINESS AND PERFORMANCE. OUR ACTUAL OPERATING RESULTS AND
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MAY PROVE TO BE VERY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE MIGHT HAVE
PREDICTED AS OF THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS.
We Have A History Of Losses And Anticipate Future Losses
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999, we sustained a net loss
of approximately $954,099. Future losses are anticipated to occur. Our success
in obtaining additional funding will determine our ability to continue
operations. We have insufficient cash flow to sustain or grow operations. We
cannot assure you that we will be successful in reaching or maintaining
profitable operations.
We Will Require Additional Capital In the Future
We have spent, and will continue to spend, substantial funds on
product research and development and expansion of our sales and marketing
efforts. As a result, we will need to raise short-term capital to maintain our
ongoing business. We are actively seeking to obtain a significant capital
infusion to avoid continuing reliance on short-term capital sources. On December
29, 1999, we issued convertible debentures in the amount of $1,000,000. We
currently anticipate the proceeds will be sufficient to maintain our ongoing
business until March 2000. However, we cannot assure you that unforeseen events
will not result in the need for additional capital sooner than we currently
anticipate. If at any time we are unable to raise additional financing, we may
be forced into insolvency.
4
<PAGE> 10
If we do raise additional funds, your stock ownership may be
diluted. Further, new securities may have rights, preferences or privileges
senior to yours. Additionally, debt financing may include restrictive covenants,
such as restrictions on incurring additional debt. If we are unable to raise
additional funds when necessary, we may have to reduce planned expenditures,
scale back our product developments, sales or other operations, enter into
financing arrangements on terms that we would not otherwise accept or be forced
into insolvency.
The Market is Highly Competitive
The market for our products is intensely competitive. We expect to
experience significant and increasing levels of competition. We compete
principally in the following areas:
- Product Quality and Reliability
- Product Performance
- Level of Customer Service
- Ability to Meet Customer Requirements
- Brand Awareness
- Price
In many of our markets, traditional computer hardware manufacturing
companies provide the most significant competition. Our competitors include a
substantial number of large public companies, including IBM, Compaq Computer
Corporation, Dell Computer Corporation, Toshiba, Gateway 2000 and NEC.
Most of our competitors are much larger, benefit from greater name
recognition and have significantly greater resources than we do. This subjects
us to numerous competitive disadvantages. For example, our current revenue
levels limit our ability to market and advertise on a national or international
level. This in turn makes it more difficult for us to increase brand awareness.
We could be forced to reduce prices and suffer reduced margins or market share
due to increased competition from manufacturers or distributors of products
similar to or competitive with our product.
We Need to Expand our Product Range
To effectively compete, we need to continue to expand our business
and generate greater revenues so that we have the resources to timely develop
new products. We must continue to market our products and services through our
direct sales force and expand our e-commerce distribution channels. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to grow sufficiently to provide the range and
quality of products required to compete.
We Must Keep Pace with Rapid Technological Change to Remain
Competitive
The computer industry is characterized by rapidly changing
technology, evolving industry standards, frequent new product introductions and
enhancements and changing customer demands. We must develop and introduce new
products that keep pace with technological developments. If we fail to introduce
progressive new products in a timely and cost-effective manner, our financial
performance may be negatively affected.
5
<PAGE> 11
Some of Our Products Target Niche Markets
We sell a line of "small footprint" computers. (The footprint is the
amount of desk space a computer requires.) We are also currently developing a
"thin client" computer system designed to utilize thinly equipped terminals with
limited memory and no local storage capability connected to central servers.
We believe that the small footprint and thin client computer
segments of the industry present business opportunities because they are
underdeveloped markets. However, we also believe that the number of competitors
offering these products will grow over the next several years. For example,
competitors such as Gateway 2000 and NEC have recently introduced computers
targeted to consumers requiring less desk space. We compete in the thin client
market segment with well established companies such as Wyse Technology. We
believe that Wyse may hold over 45% of the world-wide general purpose terminal
market. We cannot guarantee you that small footprint products will gain or even
sustain current market share or that our thin client products will achieve
market acceptance. In addition, our products could be rendered obsolete and
unmarketable if our competitors introduce new technology or new industry
standards emerge.
Recent Consolidations May Limit Our Markets
One of our primary markets is the banking and financial institution
industry. Recently, many banking and financial institutions have begun to
consolidate. Although the number of potential customers decrease during
consolidation, many banking and financial institutions upgrade their computer
networks. We cannot assure you that the demand for our products by banking and
financial institutions will not decrease as a result of the consolidation.
Our Products Must Be Compatible With Third-Party Software
Although we market computer hardware and peripherals, we currently
do not develop software. Consequently, we are dependent upon third-parties to
develop software applications that operate on our hardware platforms. If
software providers do not continue to provide software acceptable to our
customers, our sales may suffer.
We cannot guarantee that all available software will be compatible
with our products or that we will have the technical personnel necessary to
evaluate and fix software compatibility problems that may arise. If we do not
have technical personnel available, our sales may decline.
We Are Dependant On Our Manufacturers And Suppliers
Our business depends upon obtaining adequate quantities of products
from our manufacturers and suppliers. Consequently, our results of operations
are dependant, in part, upon our manufacturers' and suppliers' ability to
produce reasonably priced products in adequate amounts to meet our demands.
6
<PAGE> 12
Currently, our computers and peripherals are engineered and
manufactured by various entities in Taiwan. Although we have not experienced
significant problems with our manufacturers and suppliers in the past, we may
experience such problems in the future. We are also subject to risks of
fluctuations in our component prices. If prices charged by our vendors increase,
our costs of goods sold and net income would be adversely affected.
Currently, we believe there is a shortage of liquid crystal display
monitors. To date, we have not experienced difficulty in obtaining these
monitors. In addition, we have preliminarily agreed with Harsper Company, Ltd.
to act as the exclusive distributor for their liquid crystal display monitors.
To date, a final agreement has not been executed. We cannot assure you that a
final agreement will be signed or that we will distribute Harsper products. If
our business expands and monitor supplies remain low, we may experience
difficulty in meeting customer demand.
We cannot assure you that our positive relationships will continue
or that in the event of a termination of a relationship with a manufacturer or
supplier, we would be able to obtain alternative sources of manufacturing or
components without a material disruption in our ability to provide products to
our customers. A material disruption of our ability to supply computers and
peripherals to our customers would have a material adverse effect on our sales
and results of operations.
We Must Continue to be Authorized to Incorporate Manufacturer
Authorized Products
We are dependant on our continued authorization to provide
manufacturer authorized products, including certain software products.
Currently, the Company is authorized by industry-leading software developers,
such as Citrix Systems, Inc. and Microsoft to incorporate their software in our
products. Without such authorization, we would be unable to provide the same
range of products currently offered. We cannot assure you that manufacturers
will continue to authorize use of their software in our computers and
peripherals.
We Have Recently Added New Lines of Business
We recently began offering network integration services and digital
subscriber line or DSL high-speed Internet communications services. To aid in
the development of these services, we have hired a Chief Technology Officer with
significant experience and industry contacts. However, we cannot assure you that
we will develop and implement successful marketing strategies for these new
services. In addition, as DSL services are an emerging technology, we cannot
assure you that this technology will gain market acceptance.
Our Network Integration and DSL Services Face Intense Competition
We recently began offering network integration services and DSL
high-speed Internet communications services. The market for these products is
highly competitive. Our network integration services will compete against a wide
range of competitors from large established companies such as IBM and AT&T to
smaller private entities. Our DSL services will compete with companies such as
U.S. West Communications, COX Communications and Rhythms NetConnections.
Although these companies are more established, we believe their
7
<PAGE> 13
greater resources may increase market awareness and acceptance of DSL services.
This, in turn, may make it easier for us to sell DSL services. We cannot assure
you, however, that our new DSL services will enable us to expand our customer
base and generate greater revenues.
We Have Few Proprietary Rights
We attempt to protect our limited proprietary property through
copyright, trademark, trade secret, nondisclosure and confidentiality measures.
Such protections, however, may not preclude competitors from developing similar
technologies.
Currently, we hold no patents and most of the technology used in the
design and manufacturer of our computers and peripherals is known and available
to others. Although we are exploring patent protection for one of our keyboard
products, we believe that our competitive position is based on the ability to
successfully market innovative computers and peripherals rather than on
patented technologies.
Although we believe that our products do not infringe on any third
party's intellectual property rights, we cannot be certain that we will not
become involved in litigation involving proprietary rights. Intellectual
property rights litigation entails substantial legal and other costs. We do not
know if we will have the necessary financial resources to defend or prosecute
our rights in connection with any litigation.
There Is A Limited Market For Our Common Stock
Currently only a limited trading market exists for our common stock.
Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "iBIZ." The
Bulletin Board is a limited market and subject to substantial restrictions and
limitations in comparison to the NASDAQ system. Any broker/dealer that makes a
market in our stock or other person that buys or sells our stock could have a
significant influence over its price at any given time. We cannot assure you
that the market in our common stock will be sustained. As a result, holders of
our common stock may be unable to readily sell the stock they hold or may not be
able to sell it at all.
Our Stock Price has Been Volatile
The history relating to the prices of newly public companies
indicates that there may be significant volatility in the market price of our
common stock. More particularly, since trading began in July 1998, the market
price of our common stock has fluctuated between a low of $0.56 per share and a
high of $3.06 per share, a 545% variance. As a result, holders of our common
stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in the value of their investment.
We Are Dependent on Key Personnel
Our future success is dependent, in part, upon our five executive
officers and other key employees. A loss of one or more of our current officers
or key employees could negatively impact our operations. However, we have
entered into employment agreements with our executive officers and other key
employees.
8
<PAGE> 14
We currently do not carry key-man life insurance policies for our executive
officers. We cannot assure you that we will not suffer the loss of key human
resources.
Our Officers and Directors Can Exercise Control Over All Matters
Submitted to a Vote of Shareholders
As of January 6, 2000, our executive officers and directors
beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 55% of our outstanding common
stock. These officers, acting together, will be able to effectively control
matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including election of members to
our board of directors. As a practical matter, current management will continue
to control iBIZ for the foreseeable future.
Management Will Have Broad Discretion To Use Proceeds
We will not receive the proceeds from conversion of the debentures
or the sale of shares by the selling securityholders. However, we will receive
funds upon the exercise of options and warrants to purchase our common stock. We
intend to use the proceeds principally for working capital and general corporate
purposes, including marketing and product development. Our management and board
of directors have broad discretion with respect to the application of the
proceeds.
Sales of Common Stock Registered in this Offering Could Cause a
Decline in Our Stock Price
Assuming all shares registered in this offering are sold and
anti-dilution provisions do not trigger issuance of additional shares, we will
have 30,791,006 shares outstanding after this offering is completed. In addition
to the shares to be sold under this offering, we have outstanding 14,677,400
shares of "restricted securities" held by our officers and directors. The
remaining 12,093,980 shares held by persons other than our officers and
directors are currently, or will be available in the future for sale under Rule
144(k). Under Rule 144(k), restricted securities may be sold by non-affiliates
of iBIZ without restrictions on volume limits. All shares registered in this
offering will be freely tradable. If all of the 6,839,252 shares registered are
issued it will increase the available free trading shares as of the date of this
prospectus by approximately 83%. A significant amount of common stock coming on
the market at any given time could result in a decline in the price of such
stock or increased volatility.
We Have Not And Do Not Anticipate Paying Dividends.
To date, we have not paid dividends to our shareholders and we do
not contemplate paying dividends in the future. We anticipate retaining
earnings, if any, to finance and develop our business. As a result, the return
on your investment will depend upon any appreciation in the market price in the
common stock.
WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT US
We file annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy statements and

USE OF PROCEEDS
Some of the selling securityholders have agreed to be responsible
for a portion of the expenses of this Offering which are estimated at $60,000.
iBIZ will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the
selling securityholders. iBIZ will, however, receive up to $1,007,000 upon the
exercise of options and warrants. iBIZ intends to use the net proceeds from
exercise of options or warrants primarily for working capital needs and general
corporate purposes, including product research and development and sales and
marketing expansion. There can be no assurance that any options or warrants will
be exercised.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
iBIZ is registering the shares on behalf of the selling
securityholders. As used herein, "selling securityholders" includes donees and
pledgees selling shares received from a named selling securityholder after the
date of this prospectus. All costs, expenses and fees in connection with the
registration of the shares offered hereby will be borne by some of the selling
securityholders. Brokerage commissions and similar selling expenses, if any,
attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by the each selling
securityholder.
Sales of shares may be effected by selling securityholders from time
to time in one or more types of transactions (which may include block
transactions) in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions,
through put or call options transactions relating to the shares, through short
sales of shares, or a combination of such methods of sale, at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. Such transactions may
or may not involve brokers or dealers. The selling securityholders have advised
iBIZ that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or
arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their
securities, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in
connection with the proposed sale of shares by the selling securityholders.
11
<PAGE> 17
The selling securityholders may effect such transactions by selling
shares directly to purchasers or to or through broker-dealers, which may act as
agents or principals. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form
of discounts, concessions, or commissions from the selling securityholders or
the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to
whom they sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular
broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).
The selling securityholders and any broker-dealers that act in
connection with the sale of shares might be deemed to be "underwriters" within
the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received
by such broker-dealers and any profit on the resale of the shares sold by them
while acting as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or
commissions under the Securities Act. iBIZ has agreed to indemnify some of the
selling securityholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities
arising under the Securities Act. The selling securityholders may agree to
indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions
involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities
arising under the Securities Act.
Because selling shareholders may be deemed to be "underwriters"
within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, the selling
securityholders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act. iBIZ has informed the selling securityholders that the
anti-manipulative provisions of Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act
may apply to their sales in the market.
Upon the Company being notified by a selling securityholder that any
material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of
shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or
secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this
prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the
Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling shareholder and of
the participating broker-dealer(s); (ii) the number of shares involved; (iii)
the price at which such shares were sold; (iv) the commissions paid or discounts
or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable; (v) that such
broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set
out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus; and (vi) other facts
material to the transaction. In addition, upon iBIZ being notified by a selling
securityholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares, a
supplement to this prospectus will be filed.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Through its operating subsidiary, INVNSYS, iBIZ designs,

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Fiscal year ended October 31, 1998 compared to fiscal year ended October 31,
1997.
Revenues. Sales increased by approximately 45% from $2,350,459 for
the fiscal year ended October 1997 to $3,402,681 for the fiscal year ended
October 1998. The increase was mainly as a result of greater demand for INVNSYS'
iT business application products and new product introductions and shipments for
its keyboards.
Cost of Sales. The cost of sales increased by approximately 41% from
$1,579,440 in the fiscal year ended October 1997 to $2,219,796 in the fiscal
year ended October 1998. The
13
<PAGE> 19
increase in cost of sales is attributable to a similar percentage increase in
sales and reflects hardware costs which remained fairly stable over the two-year
period.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased from approximately $771,019 in
October 1997 to $1,182,885 in October 1998. The increase resulted primarily from
the increase in revenues coupled with a slight decline in the costs of products
components.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased approximately 9% in the fiscal year ended
October 1997 to the fiscal year ended October 1998. The decrease resulted
primarily from cost reductions in promotion, insurance, payroll, payroll taxes,
rent, telephone and entertainment.
Interest Expense. Interest expense of $75,282 for the fiscal year
ended October 1998 and of $74,147 for the fiscal year ended October 1997 was
accrued on notes payable to Community First National Bank (primarily extended
for working capital purposes).
Income Taxes. Because INVNSYS incurred a loss of approximately
$471,130 for the fiscal year ended October 1997, INVNSYS obtained a refund of
$150,021. For the fiscal year ended October 1998, INVNSYS incurred taxes of
$75,372 even though income before taxes was only $83,235. The significant tax on
nominal income resulted from certain non-deductible expenses.
Net Earnings. A loss in fiscal year October 1997 of $321,109
increased to a profit of $7,863 for fiscal year ended October 1998.
Profitability resulted primarily from a dramatic increase in sales and a
decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Fiscal year ended October 31, 1999 compared to fiscal year ended October 31,
1998.
Revenues. Sales decreased by approximately 64% from $3,402,681 in
the fiscal year ended October 1998 to $2,079,331 in the fiscal year ended
October 1999. The decrease was mainly as a result of the focus by management on
raising financing for iBIZ and a transition to a new line of products. INVNSYS
experiences short product life cycles and the declining revenues reflect
declining sales volumes for existing products which were not replaced by any
significant sales of new products, and which management estimates did not exceed
$10,000.
Cost of Sales. The cost of sales of $2,219,796 in the fiscal year
ended October 1998 declined to $1,608,729 in the fiscal year ended October 1999,
or an approximate 38% decrease. This decline reflects a coinciding decrease in
the sale of products resulting in the purchase of less hardware from INVNSYS'
overseas suppliers.
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased by approximately 60% from
$1,182,885 in the fiscal year ended October 1998 to $470,602 in the fiscal year
ended October 1999. The significant decrease resulted primarily from the
decrease in revenues coupled with the cost of sales which did not decrease in
direct proportion to the decrease in revenues. Gross profits also decreased as a
result of selling more products to retailers at lower prices and a decline in
maintenance service income, both of which reflected greater competitiveness in
the product sector.
14
<PAGE> 20
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased approximately 36% from $1,070,003 in the
fiscal year ended October 1998 to $1,453,866 for the fiscal year ended October
1999. The increase was primarily due to costs of consulting paid in connection
with the acquisition, legal and accounting fees associated with the acquisition
and an increase in the salaries of INVNSYS' key employees.
Interest Expense. Interest expense of $49,537 for the fiscal year
ended October 1999 and of $75,282 for the fiscal year ended October 1998 was
accrued on notes payable to Community First National Bank primarily extended for
working capital purposes. The decline in interest expense resulted from
repayment of most of the principal of the notes in June, 1999.
Net Earnings. Net earnings decreased from $7,863 for the fiscal year
ended October 1998 to a loss of $954,099 for the fiscal year ended October 1999.
The loss resulted from an increase in the selling, general and administrative
expenses, a cost of sales decrease which was not in proportion to the
significant decrease in revenues, and a substantial decrease in revenues for the
fiscal year ended October 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the year ended October 1997, INVNSYS supplemented cash flow with
proceeds from notes payable of approximately $138,000. At year end, INVNSYS had
an overdraft of $14,133. For the year ending October 1998, INVNSYS received an
advance from iBIZ Technology Corp. (prior to the acquisition) for approximately
$158,101. INVNSYS also repaid notes of approximately $211,631. For the fiscal
year ended October 1998, INVNSYS had an overdraft of $13,500.
Historically, INVNSYS has had and now iBIZ has significant problems
with liquidity. The Company has been unable to generate sufficient internal cash
flow to fund all of its obligations. Outside sources of financing consisting of
bank loans have been insufficient. While INVNSYS pays most of its suppliers in
full prior to delivery of product by its manufacturers of hardware in Taiwan,
its banking customers are not obligated to make payments until 30 days after
delivery of products. INVNSYS is in an industry subject to rapid obsolescence
and change. It will continue to need to raise additional substantial funds for
research and development and production of new products.
During 1999, INVNSYS repaid $225,000 on an outstanding loan from
Community First National Bank in the amount of $350,000 and delinquent payroll
taxes, penalties and interest of approximately $260,000.
By letter agreement dated December 14, 1999, iBIZ engaged Josephthal
& Co. Inc. ("Josephthal"), to provide financial communication services. iBIZ
paid Josephthal a one-time retainer fee of $50,000, and is obligated to pay
Josephthal $10,000 per month for advisory fees commencing June 1, 2000. The
agreement is effective for a period of one year and may be terminated by either
party upon 10 days written notice.
Beginning in November 1, 1998, and continuing through January 7,
2000, iBIZ raised approximately $3,120,411 though sales of iBIZ common stock and
convertible debentures which it used to finance the working capital needs of its
wholly-owned subsidiary, INVNSYS.
15
<PAGE> 21
Management believes that iBIZ has sufficient reserves and will generate
sufficient cash flow from operations to operate through March 31, 2000. However,
iBIZ will need to raise additional short term capital to maintain its ongoing
business beyond March 31, 2000. iBIZ is actively seeking to obtain a significant
capital infusion to avoid continuing reliance on short term capital sources.
There is no assurance that iBIZ will raise the necessary capital to remain in
business beyond March 31, 2000 or that unforeseen events may result in the need
for additional capital sooner than March 31, 2000. If at any time iBIZ is unable
to raise financing through additional sales of common stock it may be forced
into insolvency.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
iBIZ HISTORY
iBIZ Technology Corp. (the "Company" or "iBIZ") was originally
incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida in 1994. From its
incorporation through December 31, 1998, the Company operated as a development
stage company with no operations or revenues while it sought to identify a
strategic business combination with a private operating company. To facilitate
the acquisition of a private company doing business outside of its initial
purpose upon incorporation, the Company changed its name to EVC Ventures, Inc.
in May 1998 and to INVNSYS Holding Corporation in October 1998.
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company entered into a Plan of
Reorganization and Stock Exchange Agreement with INVNSYS Technology Corporation
("INVNSYS") and various shareholders of INVNSYS (the "Reorganization"). As a
result of the Reorganization, INVNSYS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company. On February 1, 1999, the Company changed its name to iBIZ Technology
Corp.
While operating as a development stage company, the Company's
officers and directors were not compensated for their services. From
incorporation through December 31, 1994, Mr. Julio A. Padilla served as
President and sole Director. Mr. Eric P. Littman served as President and sole
Director from January 1, 1995 through July 9, 1998. Thereafter, Mr. John Xinos
served as President, Secretary, and Treasurer from July 10, 1998 through
December 31, 1998. Messrs. Padilla, Littman and Xinos are no longer involved in
the management of iBIZ and are believed not to be shareholders.
BUSINESS HISTORY OF INVNSYS
The Company conducts business solely through its operating
subsidiary INVNSYS. For your convenience, this prospectus will refer to the
parent company as the Company or iBIZ and the wholly-owned operating company as
INVNSYS.
INVNSYS (formerly known as SouthWest Financial Systems, Inc.) was
founded in 1979. Under the direction of INVNSYS' founder, Kenneth Schilling, the
company initially focused on distributing front-end bank branch automation
computer systems for networking applications. INVNSYS acted as a regional
distributor for SHARP Electronics ("SHARP"), a privately held Japanese
manufacturer of computers and electronic devices. In addition, INVNSYS also
distributed the products of Billcon Company, Ltd., and Glory, manufacturers of
bank automation and money processing systems.
16
<PAGE> 22
In 1985, INVNSYS became a master distributor of SHARP products and
acquired the exclusive rights to distribute SHARP products to financial
institutions in the western United States. Between 1987 and 1990, INVNSYS won
various awards from SHARP for outstanding sales performance. Also during this
time, INVNSYS began to participate in the design of computer systems for
financial institutions. In cooperation with Wells Fargo Bank and SHARP, INVNSYS
produced the first plain paper facsimile machine in 1990.
In 1992, INVNSYS began to design and build its own computer systems,
focusing on integrated systems for the banking industry. In 1993, INVNSYS
terminated its relationship with SHARP and focused on developing its own
products. In approximately 1994, INVNSYS began working in conjunction with Epson
America ("Epson"), a leading manufacturer of point-of-sale computer products, in
the development of products for the banking industry. For example, INVNSYS
designed a software program which enabled Epson transactional printers to
produce cashier's checks, an industry innovation. In addition, in cooperation
with Epson, INVNSYS designed and marketed a stackable computer system for
financial institutions. In 1996, INVNSYS produced its first entry into the
market for complete computer systems with its Vision 2000 Multimedia
Notestation, an Intel Pentium-based computer/printer combination. In October
1998, INVNSYS began to market its current line of business transaction
computers, the iT series.
iBIZ's principal offices are located at 1919 West Lone Cactus,
Phoenix, Arizona 85021. iBIZ maintains a website at www.ibizcorp.com. The
information on the website is not part of this prospectus.
Statements regarding the various hardware products offered by the
Company, joint ventures and marketing agreements are forward looking and you
should not rely on them or assume that the products discussed will ever be
shipped in quantities sufficient to generate material revenue or that marketing
agreements will generate any revenue. Many products discussed in this prospectus
may ultimately not be sold or may only be sold in limited quantities. Marketing
agreements may not result in anticipated revenue for the Company. Technology
used in computer products is subject to rapid obsolescence, changing consumer
preferences, software advancements, and competitor's products time to market.
These factors, among others, may result in unforeseen changes in the products
ultimately sold by the Company.
PRODUCTS
INVNSYS engages in the business of designing, manufacturing and
distributing small-footprint desktop computers, transaction printers, general
purpose financial application keyboards, numeric keypads, cathode ray tube
("CRT") and liquid crystal display ("LCD") monitors and related products.
INVNSYS also markets a line of original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") notebook
computers and distributes a line of Epson transactional printers. In addition to
hardware, INVNSYS recently entered in an agreement by which it intends to offer
software as a reseller.
INVNSYS' continued success is dependant upon the introduction of new
products and the enhancement of existing products. INVNSYS is actively engaged
in the design and development of additional computers and peripherals to augment
its present product line. Currently, INVNSYS designs many of its products
in-house. INVNSYS employs a four-person product design and development staff
which is managed directly by Kenneth Schilling. During 1998, INVNSYS did not
incur costs specifically allocated to research and development. During fiscal
1999, INVNSYS spent Five Thousand Fourteen Dollars ($5,014.00) on expenses
directly allocated for research and development. For financial accounting
purposes INVNSYS has historically not allocated any significant expenses to
research and development because its equipment manufacturers actually implement
the innovations of senior level management of INVNSYS. However, iBIZ considers
salaries paid to senior level management involved in product design and
development as costs related to research and development.
17
<PAGE> 23
Because of the rapid pace of technological advances in the personal
computer industry, INVNSYS must be prepared to design, develop, manufacture and
market new and more powerful hardware products in a relatively short time span.
While INVNSYS believes that it has been successful to date in accomplishing that
goal, there can be no assurance that it will continue to do so in the future.
Business Application Small Footprint Computers
INVNSYS believes its iT-8000 has the smallest footprint of any
desktop personal computer in the industry. (A "footprint" is the amount of desk
space the computer terminal covers.) The iT-8000 provides the convenience of a
small footprint and the power of a traditional desktop unit. The iT-8000's
compact dimensions allow it to be installed in areas where the physical space
available to install a computer is limited. These applications include corporate
workstations, branch bank teller platforms, supermarkets and other retail
point-of-sale ("POS") machines. The iT-8000 is also suited to other
space-conscious settings such as a hospital patient bedside.
Standard features include extra serial ports for attaching
peripheral devices such as magnetic card readers or check readers and a built-in
local area network ("LAN") connection. Currently, the iT-8000 may be configured
with Intel Pentium processors with MMX Technology (75Mhz through 233Mhz), from 2
to 256 megabyte ("MB") random access memory ("RAM"), a standard 2.5" hard drive,
providing current industry capacity of up to 13 gigabyte ("GB"), and 10.4",
12.0" or 13.3" color LCD panels.
INVNSYS recently introduced a line of "thin-client" computers.
Thin-client computers are scaled down devices with limited memory and no local
storage capability designed to be integrated with a centralized server. In a
thin-client environment, network software applications remain on the server,
while the terminal functions as the gateway to the system. INVNSYS believes
thin-client systems offer increased manageability and better security as all
applications run on the server and not the terminal.
INVNSYS' thin-client computer, the iTerm-8000 (a derivative of the
iT-8000), supports up to a 233 Mhz processor, 128 MB RAM, optional floppy and
hard drives, and offers an attached LCD monitor. The iTerm 8000 will support
Citrix Systems, Inc. ("Citrix") Independent Computing Architecture ("ICA") as
the server application which is compatible with Citrix MetaFrame and WinFrame
software.
Personal Computers
Capitalizing on its knowledge and success in designing computer
systems for the financial institution industry, INVNSYS has expanded its product
line to include personal home computers.
Sahara. The Sahara Databook is a small footprint desktop computer
which integrates optional Intel Pentium II/III processor power, simplified
networking and sophisticated manageability features into a compact form. INVNSYS
believes its flexible design allows original equipment manufacturers ("OEMS") to
deliver a range of uses, from a fully-featured corporate workstation to a
stripped-down network personal computer. The Sahara is sold in four
18
<PAGE> 24
basic configurations, each allowing customers to pick the options most suitable
for their purposes.
Safari. The Safari is a small footprint computer with a full array
of LAN, P.O.S., entertainment and Internet applications. The Safari is offered
with a range of processors including Intel Pentium, Cyrix, IBM, and AMD, may
provide up to 256 MB RAM, and can be equipped with an optional LCD panel, 20X
Slim Size CD-ROM drive and a 3D full duplex sound module.
Keyboards
Historically, INVNSYS has designed and marketed a range of keyboards
and numeric keypads for financial institutions. Such products currently include
the Geno 628 data pad, the Serial data numeric-only key pad, the ACK-540GP
keyboard, and the TV-3682, a space-efficient keyboard designed for bank branch
teller applications. The TV-3682 is encoded with a proprietary software which
allows the keyboard to be used with any computer without the need to install a
driver. To aid numeric input, the numeric pad is given prominence over the alpha
pad. The TV-3682 also incorporates a touchpad mouse with no moving parts, which
saves space and improves reliability.
Capitalizing on the expanding market for powerful, handheld
organizers, in September 1999, INVNSYS introduced its KeySync Keyboard
("KeySync"). The KeySync directly connects to all Palm devices, including the
PalmVII, produced by 3COM, and allows users to more easily input data into their
organizers. The KeySync is integrated with the Palm products through KeyLink
software, exclusively designed for and licensed to INVNSYS.
The KeySync's dimensions are 10" x 4-1/2" x 1-1/4" (LxWxH), and it
offers a sixty-two (62) key keyboard, six (6) programmable function keys and
uses three (3) "AAA" batteries to minimize draining the Palm's battery. In
addition to Palm products, the KeySync is currently compatible with Microsoft CE
handheld organizers.
Palm Pilot Accessories
In December 1999, INVNSYS began selling a foldable cradle to hold
the various Palm Pilot products. Management believes this cradle is easier to
use than the products offered by competitors. INVNSYS also began selling a
12-volt power adapter to enable recharging of the batteries used in the Palm

Displays and Monitors
INVNSYS offers a line of space-saving, zero-emission LCD flat panel
displays. INVNSYS believes these LCD monitors provide superior viewing angles,
graphic display and brightness over conventional monitors while consuming less
energy. Moreover, LCD panels do not flicker like conventional CRT monitors, thus
reducing eye strain and user fatigue. INVNSYS' LCD panels take up less than
one-tenth of the space needed for an equivalent cathode ray tube ("CRT") monitor
and are some of the thinnest available on the market. INVNSYS believes that the
flat LCD panel gives the monitor a competitive edge over conventional CRT
products by providing equivalent screen sizes in less space.

In December 1999, INVNSYS and Harsper Company, Ltd. ("Harsper")
preliminarily agreed to name INVNSYS as the exclusive distributor of Harsper LCD
panels. In addition, the parties have agreed that INVNSYS will handle service
and support functions for Harsper. The LCD panels will be marketed under the
iBIZ name and will include 12.1", 14.1", 15.1" and 18.1" computer displays.
INVNSYS will also offer Harsper's "high-style" LCD panels with metal cases and
flat glass fronts designed for the executive or deluxe home office. INVNSYS
currently anticipates offering Harsper LCD panels in the first quarter of 2000.
To date, a final agreement has not been executed. No assurance can be made that
a final agreement will executed or that INVNSYS will distribute Harsper LCD
panels.
The computer industry is currently experiencing a shortage of LCD
panels. To date, INVNSYS has been able to obtain adequate supplies of LCD panels
and has not experienced any significant production delays as a result of the
shortage. However, if the shortage continues and INVNSYS' demand increases,
INVNSYS may experience difficulties in meeting customer demand.
INVNSYS also offers a range of conventional CRT monitors in sizes 14
to 21 inches with digital controls.
Planned Product Introductions
iT-9000. INVNSYS is currently developing a new small footprint
Pentium II/III computer with attachable LCD monitor, currently called the
iT-9000. The iT-9000 combines numerous technologies into less than one
square-foot of desktop space. As a highly flexible, open-architecture platform,
the iT-9000 can be configured for multiple computing roles. The iT-9000 will
provide functions for visual Internet access, in-home video monitoring, family
message center, home security, home control and high-resolution television
reception. INVNSYS believes that by eliminating the necessity of assembling
numerous electronic components, the iT-9000 will present an all-in-one solution
to office desktop overcrowding. With its optional under-cabinet mounting,
INVNSYS believes the iT-9000 will provide a solution to extremely limited home
and office work areas.
The iT-9000 will offer a flip-down LCD panel, and will utilize the
latest Pentium III processor technology. The iT-9000 is undergoing product
evaluation and management has not yet determined a customer delivery date.
Lapboard. INVNSYS is also developing a wireless keyboard to be
marketed under the name "Lapboard." This keyboard incorporates RF wireless
technology and is suitable for a variety of applications including general
computing, Web TV and Dish Technology. The Lapboard is ergonomically designed
and features an elevated palm rest allowing the hands to be in a more natural
position above the alpha keys, thus alleviating stress on the wrist. In
addition, the Lapboard will offer a "bottom case" contoured for the user's lap.
INVNSYS has incorporated several flexible design elements into the Lapboard,
such as an interchangeable pointing device for users who prefer a trackball
instead of the standard mouse touchpad. A joystick module and a sixteen (16) key
programmable keypad have also been designed as interchangeable elements.
20
<PAGE> 26
INVNSYS has filed a patent application for the Lapboard with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office. INVNSYS is conducting product
evaluation and testing and management is currently evaluating the capital
resources necessary to begin production.
OEM Notebook Computers
In addition to designing its own products, INVNSYS also offers a
complete line of competitively priced, build-to-order notebook computers
manufactured by Twinhead Corporation ("Twinhead") and marketed under the name
"iBook." Currently, INVNSYS offers three notebook models, the Apache, Phoenix
and RoadRunner.
RoadRunner. INVNSYS believes the RoadRunner offers powerful
computing power in a lightweight design. At only 1.28" high and 4.4 pounds,
INVNSYS believes the RoadRunner is half the weight of most competing notebooks.
The RoadRunner offers Intel Pentium II processors with up to 366Mhz,
as well as Pentium III processors, a built in 56k fax/modem, external FDD/24X
CD-ROM module or 2X/4X DVD drive, a full size keyboard and a full 12.1" TFT
screen offering resolution as high as 800 x 600 pixels. The RoadRunner offers 64
MB of memory, which can be upgraded to 192 MB. Utilizing Twinhead's patented
(pending) battery auto calibration system and the notebook's Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface ("ACPI") power management standard, which
automatically monitors and optimizes battery use, the RoadRunner provides up to
2.5 hours of full battery usage.
Apache. The Apache offers high performance in an ultra-slim (1.54"
high), compact unit. Models have a range of central processing units ("CPU's")
from the Celeron MMC1 366Mhz to Intel Pentium II 400Mhz. The Apache has a 16-bit
stereo sound system with built-in stereo speakers and microphone supporting
full-duplex sound, a 3D graphics system with 2 MB of video RAM operating over a
64-bit memory bus and a built-in 24X CD-ROM, which is interchangeable with a 2X
DVD-ROM drive. The Apache offers resolution as high as 1024 x 768 pixels with
its 13.3" (XGA) or 12.1" (SVGA) built-in TFT screen.
The Apache can be installed with up to 256 MB of memory using
industry-standard Synchronous Dual in-line Memory Modules ("SO DIMM"). To
improve slow input/output, the Apache also features up to 6.4 MB hard disk
drive, an optional built-in 56 Kbps modem and a 32-bit CardBus PC card drive.
The Apache also offers an infrared port which allows wireless file transfer and
printing to other infrared-enabled systems.
INVNSYS believes power saving is a major concern for notebook users.
To address this issue, the Apache offers a processor which consumes up to forty
percent (40%) less energy than a comparable desktop processor. In addition, the
Apache has numerous user-controlled power management routines including suspend
to RAM and suspend to disk. The Apache comes with Twinhead's patented (pending)
battery auto calibration system, which monitors and optimizes battery use
automatically. Using ACPI in tandem with battery auto calibration, battery life
can be extended to more than three (3) hours on one charge. The battery will
automatically recharge in approximately four (4) hours when the AC adapter is
plugged in and the notebook is in suspend mode.
21
<PAGE> 27
INVNSYS believes the Apache is designed to be user friendly. It
offers OSD (On-Screen Display), which allows the user to see volume and
brightness changes as made. Screen brightness can be changed with special hot
keys. The modular 9.5 mm hard disk drive may be removed, thus allowing users to
switch hard disk drives quickly and keep data secure.
Phoenix. The Phoenix provides the user with accelerated graphics in
a portable package. This notebook is designed to provide all the functions of a
powerful desktop multimedia system in a compact, lightweight notebook format.
The Phoenix weighs 6.8 pounds and measures 12.2" x 9.8" x 1.6" (LxWxH). INVNSYS
believes it is slimmer and lighter than most other notebooks while providing
superior performance and convenience.
The Phoenix utilizes the Intel Pentium II 333 to 400 MHz processors.
The notebook features a 10 GB hard disk drive, an optional built-in 56 Kbps
modem, two (2) PC Card slots with integrated CardBus and Zoomed Video, an
infrared port and a built-in 24X CD-ROM, which is interchangeable with a 2X
DVD-ROM drive.
The Phoenix incorporates the 2X AGP-bus interface, which is four (4)
times faster than the fastest PCI-bus. In addition, the Phoenix offers 4 MB of
video RAM operating over a 64-bit memory bus, a VGA chip, and a hardware DVD
accelerator with MPEG II support which allows users to watch full-screen video
without dropping frames.
The Phoenix may be configured with a 1024 x 768 pixel built-in 13.3"
or 14.1"(XGA) FTF screen and may be connected to an external monitor or
television via built-in ports.
For sound applications, the Phoenix offers the ESS Maestro-2M PCI,
which is the latest industry standard, is compatible with the 16-bit Sound
Blaster Pro, and supported by Microsoft DirectAudio and Direct 3D for use in
Windows NT 5.0 or Windows 98 systems. It features integrated 3D audio effects as
well as dual channel full duplex operation.
The Phoenix comes with an Intel MMC2 CPU module, which allows for
easy upgrades. In addition, the notebook's modular design allows for several
configurations. The notebook may be configured with anywhere from 32 to 256 MB
of RAM. The modular hard disk drive may be removed and replaced with an
alternate drive. Also available in the Phoenix is an LS-120 drive, which reads
and writes to 120MB Superdisks as well as standard 3.5" floppy disks. An
additional expandability option for the Phoenix is Twinhead's proprietary port
replicator, which duplicates all of the connectors that are available on the
rear side of the notebook and adds one extra PS/2 port, one stereo line-out
connector and a Game/MIDI port.
For communications, the Phoenix offers an optional 56 Kbps fax/modem
which facilitates dial-up networking, a full duplex sound system and built-in
microphone and stereo speakers which allow the Phoenix to be installed with
voicemail and speakerphone functions. Network connections are possible through a
32-bit CardBus slot. In addition, the Phoenix offers an infrared port which
allows wireless file transfer and printing to other infrared-enabled systems.
22
<PAGE> 28
The Phoenix supports all the new functions provided with the Windows
98 operating system. Power management is optimized with an advanced power
management system. Whenever the notebook's processor is not operational for a
short time, the processor becomes idle so that it consumes less power. When the
processor resumes working, it returns to full speed almost instantaneously with
no loss of performance. The Phoenix also supports Twinhead's patented (pending)
battery auto calibration system, which monitors and optimizes battery use at the
touch of a key, ensuring longer battery life.
Printers and Peripherals
INVNSYS is an authorized distributor of Epson printers and
peripherals. INVNSYS distributes the Epson TM-U325, a low cost, high speed
transaction printer. In addition, INVNSYS distributes the Epson TM-U375, a high
speed transaction printer which has the ability to prepare and print cashier's
checks and money orders, including signatures. Management believes this feature
is not available in competing products and the inclusion of this product
increases INVNSYS' ability to offer proprietary products in the marketplace.
In December 1999, INVNSYS began offering color printers manufactured
by Tektronix, Inc. Printers include the Phaser 840 solid ink color printer,
which management believes is twice as fast as most color printers.
Software
In December 1999, iBIZ acquired certain assets from PC Solutions,
Inc., a business-to-business and retail software provider. The Company also
hired two employees formerly associated with PC Solutions. Through this
acquisition, iBIZ intends to begin offering third-party software. To date, iBIZ
has not recognized significant revenues from software sales.
SERVICES
Responding to market demand for complete network solutions, INVNSYS
began providing network integration services in the last quarter of 1999.
Through previous contacts developed by its Chief Technology Officer prior to
joining the Company, INVNSYS acquired network integration service accounts with
American Express and Motorola.
Expanding its networking capabilities, in November 1999, INVNSYS
entered into an agreement with Northpoint Communications. Through this
agreement, INVNSYS began offering digital subscriber line ("DSL") services to
commercial customers. DSL service is an emerging technology providing high-speed
Internet connections over existing phone carriers' copper wiring at connection
speeds ranging from 144 kbps to 1.5 mbps. Management believes DSL service offers
a lower cost alternative to competing products such as T-1 and frame relay
services which provide similar connection speeds but require additional
infrastructure expenditures.
Management believes that the addition of network integration and DSL
services will allow INVNSYS to expand its customer base by enabling the Company
to offer complete networking solutions. To date, INVNSYS has not recognized
significant revenues from these
23
<PAGE> 29
new services. There can be no assurance that INVNSYS will be successful in
developing, integrating and profiting from its network integration or DSL
services.
MARKETING, SALES AND DISTRIBUTION
INVNSYS markets and distributes products directly to end users
through a direct sales force, regional re-sellers, value-add providers in the
banking and POS market and Internet commerce sites. INVNSYS has a direct sales
force of six employees, directed by Mr. Schilling, who market INVNSYS' products
to financial institutions.
In addition to direct sales, INVNSYS also sells its full range of
products directly to retail customers through its website at www.ibizcorp.com.
The website is linked to an Online Consumer site on Yahoo! Recently, INVNSYS
entered into an agreement with Cyberian Outpost, Inc. to market INVNSYS'
products on its website www.outpost.com. To date, iBIZ has recognized only
nominal revenues from Internet retail sales. Management believes that direct
sales to end users should allow INVNSYS to more efficiently and effectively meet
customer needs by providing products which are tailored for the customer's
individual requirements at a more economical price.
INVNSYS distributes a line of Epson transactional printers. INVNSYS
participates in Epson's MasterVar program which provides INVNSYS a non-exclusive
right to sell, support and service Epson computer peripherals in the United
States and Canada.
INVNSYS also distributes its products to regional resellers and, to
a lesser extent, national distributors. For example, INVNSYS has entered into a
vendor agreement for KeySync with MicroAge, Inc., one of the largest hardware
distributors in North America. To date however, INVNSYS has not recognized
significant revenues from its vendor agreement with MicroAge.
In February 1999, INVNSYS entered into a marketing agreement with
Global Telephone Communication, Inc. ("Global"), whereby Global will market
INVNSYS' products in the Pacific Rim. Management believes that Global, through a
joint venture with Pacific Assets International, will provide access to numerous
banks throughout Asia, including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea,
Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan. To date however, INVNSYS has not recognized
revenues from its marketing agreement with Global.
MANUFACTURING
INVNSYS' products are engineered and manufactured by various
entities in Taiwan. Currently, INVNSYS has an agreement with DataComp, a private
Taiwanese company, to manufacture INVNSYS' keyboards and keypads. INVNSYS'
iT-8000 computers are currently manufactured by Puritron, a Taiwanese company.
INVNSYS' LCD's are manufactured by Sampo Technology, a Taiwanese manufacturer,
and receive varying customization ranging from cosmetic items to enhancing
components such as stereo speakers and touchpad screens from Acana Peripherals
Corporation, a Taiwanese company. In the event INVNSYS executes a final
agreement with Harsper Company, Ltd, the LCD panels will be manufactured in
South Korea. INVNSYS' Sahara and Safari desktop computers are currently
manufactured by First International Computer in Taiwan.
24
<PAGE> 30
These manufacturers build INVNSYS' products to INVNSYS'
specifications with non-proprietary components. Therefore, the vast majority of
parts used in INVNSYS' products are available to INVNSYS' competitors. Although
INVNSYS has not experienced difficulties in the past relating to engineering and
manufacturing, the failure of INVNSYS' manufacturers to produce products of
sufficient quantity and quality could adversely affect INVNSYS' ability to sell
the products its customers demand.
INVNSYS engages in final assembly, functional testing and quality
control of its products in its Phoenix, Arizona facility. Management believes
INVNSYS' completion of the final stages of manufacturing allows INVNSYS to
ensure quality control for its products manufactured overseas.
INVNSYS has entered into an agreement with Twinhead Corporation, a
Taiwanese manufacturer of notebook computers ("Twinhead") to produce
build-to-order notebook computers. The design, engineering and manufacturing of
INVNSYS' notebook computers is done entirely by Twinhead. Management believes
this relationship allows INVNSYS to offer a broader range of products to its
customers without the cost of research and development and manufacturing.
LICENSES
Citrix Systems, Inc. On December 30, 1998, INVNSYS entered a
licensing agreement with Citrix Systems, Inc. ("Citrix") for the use of Citrix
Independent Computing Architecture ("ICA"), an emerging industry standard for
server-based computing (the "ICA Agreement"). Under the ICA Agreement, INVNSYS
is granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to incorporate ICA into
Citrix-approved iBIZ computers. The license is for a term of two years and
automatically renews for successive one year periods unless either party gives
notice of an intent to allow the agreement to expire at the end of the then
current term.
In addition, INVNSYS and Citrix have entered into a Citrix Business
Alliance Membership Agreement dated February 22, 1999 (the "CBA Agreement"). For
a membership fee, CBA membership entitles INVNSYS to engineering, sales, and
marketing support by Citrix, as well as access to beta releases of new Citrix
products and discounted current software products.
Microsoft, Inc. In June 1999, INVNSYS entered into an agreement with
Microsoft, Inc. to become an OEM system builder. Participation in this program
will allow INVNSYS to install genuine Microsoft operating systems in selected
applications with full support from Microsoft. In addition, this agreement
entitles INVNSYS to pre-production versions of Microsoft products and enables
INVNSYS to provide input into development and design of new products.
KeyLink Software License. iBIZ has an exclusive, perpetual license
to use, distribute and offer for sale with associated hardware, the software
which facilitates the connection between the KeySync keyboard and the 3COM Palm
devices.
25
<PAGE> 31
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
INVNSYS holds no United States or foreign patents for its products.
However, iBIZ has filed a patent application for its Lapboard keyboard. In
general, INVNSYS believes that its continued success will depend primarily upon
the technical expertise, creative skills, and management abilities of its
officers, directors, and key employees rather than on patent ownership.
iBIZ has filed an application with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office for the use of the names "iBIZ" and "KeySync" and is currently
investigating various other product trademarks.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
Management believes that all of INVNSYS' current products are Year
2000 compliant. In December 1999, INVNSYS completed a conversion of its internal
systems, such as accounting programs and management believes all internal
systems are Year 2000 compliant. Management estimates the Company incurred costs
of approximately $20,600 to address the Year 2000 computer issue. To date, iBIZ
has not experienced any material disruptions related to the Year 2000 computer
issue. However, iBIZ can give no assurance that future failures of third-party
systems will not have a material effect on INVNSYS' operations.
SERVICE AND SUPPORT
INVNSYS provides its customers with a comprehensive service and
support program. Technical support is provided to customers via a toll-free
telephone number as well as through the iBIZ website. The number is available
Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Mountain Standard Time. INVNSYS
maintains a staff of approximately 10 technical and customer support
representatives who respond to telephone inquiries.
Also available on iBIZ's website are links to files for software
patches and drivers used for software updates.
INVNSYS' products have either a one year or three year limited
warranty covering parts and service. In addition, INVNSYS offers extended
service agreements, which may extend warranty coverage for up to two additional
years. Under the Virtual Spare program, INVNSYS provides replacement units by
next-day shipment in the event a customer's unit fails. Under this program,
customers have, at no additional expense, the option to have their existing
hard-drive configuration installed on the replacement unit. The customer's units
are then returned to INVNSYS' Phoenix facility for service. Under INVNSYS'
On-Site program, customers have the ability to have a Company-owned spare
on-site for immediate availability in the event of a failure. Failed units are
then returned to INVNSYS' facility for service and returned to replace the spare
for future needs. INVNSYS believes its Virtual Spare and On-Site programs
eliminate the need for on-site technical support for the replacement units and
reduce set-up time at customer facilities.
26
<PAGE> 32
COMPETITION
Personal Computers
The personal computer industry is highly competitive. INVNSYS
competes at the product level with various other personal computer manufacturers
and at the distribution level primarily with computer retailers, on-line
marketers and the direct sales forces of large personal computer manufacturers.
At the product level, the personal computer industry is
characterized by rapid technological advances in both hardware and software
development and by the frequent introduction of new and innovative products.
There are approximately 100 manufacturers of personal computers, the majority of
which have greater financial, marketing and technological resources than
INVNSYS. Competitors at this level include IBM, Compaq, Dell, and Gateway 2000.
Gateway 2000 and NEC, among other competitors, have recently introduced smaller
desk top computers than have been manufactured in the past. However, those
computers are targeted for the consumer and not for the corporate customer and
are more expensive than the computers offered by INVNSYS. INVNSYS' main
competitors for its planned product line of thin-client computer systems include
specialty manufacturers such as WYSE Technology.
Competitive factors include product quality and reliability, price
to performance characteristics, marketing capability, and corporate reputation.
In addition, a segment of the industry competes primarily for customers on the
basis of price. Although the INVNSYS' products are price competitive, INVNSYS
does not attempt to compete solely on the basis of price.
The intense nature of competition in the computer industry subjects
INVNSYS to numerous competitive disadvantages and risks. For example, many major
companies will exclude consideration of INVNSYS' products due to limited size of
the company. Moreover, INVNSYS' current revenue levels cannot support a high
level of national or international marketing and advertising efforts. This, in
turn, makes it more difficult for INVNSYS to develop its brand name and create
customer awareness. Additionally, INVNSYS' products are manufactured by third
parties in Taiwan. As such, INVNSYS is subject to numerous risks and
uncertainties of reliance on offshore manufacturers, including, taxes or
tariffs, non-performance, quality control, and civil unrest. Also, as INVNSYS
holds no patents, the vast majority of parts used in its products are available
to its competitors.
Management believes that it can compete effectively by providing
computers and peripherals utilizing unique designs and space-saving qualities,
such as small footprints. Although Management believes it has been successful to
date, there can be no assurance that INVNSYS will be able to compete
successfully in the future.
Services
INVNSYS recently began offering network integration services and DSL
high-speed Internet connection services. Although management believes these
services will enable INVNSYS to expand its customer base through the offering of
complete network solutions, each service will experience intense competition.
For example, network integration services are
27
<PAGE> 33
offered by a wide range of competitors, including large established companies
such as IBM and AT&T, as well as small private entities. Many of INVNSYS'
competitors in network integration services will be more established and have
greater resources. INVNSYS has hired a Chief Technology Officer with significant
network integration experience and industry contacts. However, as this is a new
line of business, no assurance can be given that INVNSYS will be able to expand
its business through network integration services.
Similarly, the market for Internet connection services is highly
competitive. INVNSYS' agreement with Northpoint Communications enables it to
offer DSL high-speed Internet connection services. DSL is an emerging technology
which allows for higher speed connections over existing copper phone lines.
Currently, large established companies such as U.S. West Communications, COX
Communications and Rhythms NetConnections, Inc. offer DSL services. Management
believes that these companies' greater resources may increase market awareness
and acceptance of DSL services. However, as INVNSYS has only recently entered
the market for Internet connection services, there can be no assurance that it
can successfully compete in the marketplace.
CUSTOMERS
Throughout its history, INVNSYS' ability to deliver innovative
product designs and quality customer service has enabled it to provide products
to major financial institutions including Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Security
Pacific, Northrim Bank, and First Interstate Banks. Currently, no single
customer accounts for more than 10% of INVNSYS' revenues.
EMPLOYEES; LABOR RELATIONS
As of January 6, 2000, INVNSYS had approximately 30 full-time
employees. No employee of INVNSYS is represented by a labor union or is subject
to a collective bargaining agreement. INVNSYS has never experienced a
work-stoppage due to labor difficulties and believes that its employee relations
are good.
FCC REGULATIONS
The Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") has adopted
regulations setting radio frequency emission standards for computing equipment.
Management believes all of INVNSYS' current products meet applicable FCC and
foreign requirements.
INVNSYS is in the process of exploring foreign operations. Many
foreign jurisdictions require governmental approval prior to the sale or
shipment of personal computing equipment and in certain jurisdictions such
requirements are more stringent than in the United States. Any delays or
failures in obtaining necessary approvals from foreign jurisdictions may impede
or preclude INVNSYS' efforts to penetrate such markets.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
On July 1, 1999, iBIZ began leasing an approximately 15,000 square
foot custom-built office building located at 1919 West Lone Cactus, Phoenix,
Arizona. The facility is used for administration, design, engineering and
assembly of products. iBIZ's lease ("Lease") is for a
28
<PAGE> 34
term of twenty-six and one-half years (26.5), with monthly rental payments of
$12,800, subject to annual increases, plus taxes and operating costs.
The facility is leased from Lone Cactus Capital Group, L.L.C., a
limited liability company in which Kenneth Schilling is a member. The Lease is
personally guaranteed by Mr. Schilling and his wife, Diane. Management believes
this new facility will provide adequate space to accommodate the iBIZ's current
plan of growth and expansion.
LITIGATION
iBIZ is not currently a party to any lawsuit or proceeding. However,
from time to time, iBIZ is subject to lawsuits occurring in the regular course
of business. Most such lawsuits involve claims for money damages. iBIZ carries
insurance to protect itself against such claims, subject to any applicable
deductibles. iBIZ can give no assurances that future lawsuits will not have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
iBIZ has been assessed approximately $62,000 in penalties and
interest by the IRS. The Company is disputing the assessment and is currently
negotiating with the IRS. iBIZ can give no assurance that any settlement can be
reached for an amount less than $62,000.

Employment Agreement for Kenneth W. Schilling
Effective March 5, 1999, Kenneth W. Schilling and iBIZ entered into
an Employment Agreement (the "Agreement"), as amended as of September 8, 1999.
Under the Agreement, Mr. Schilling has been retained to act as

and April 22, 2001, respectively.
The Agreement provides that upon total and permanent disability, as
defined in the Agreement, iBIZ shall pay Mr. Schilling such benefits as may be
provided to officers of iBIZ under any Company provided disability insurance or
similar policy or under any iBIZ adopted disability plan. In the absence of such
policy or plan, iBIZ shall continue to pay Mr. Schilling for a period of not
less than six months the compensation then in effect as of the effective date of
his termination.
Mr. Schilling may terminate the Agreement upon written notice,
within thirty (30) days following the occurrence of an event constituting "Good
Reason," as defined below. Upon the termination by Mr. Schilling for Good

time of termination; or (2) the remaining compensation due to Mr. Schilling
under the terms of the Agreement. If Mr. Schilling fails to exercise his rights
to terminate the Agreement for Good Reason within thirty (30) days following an
event constituting Good Reason, such rights shall expire and be of no further
force or effect.

Schilling to any duty substantially inconsistent with his position or duties
contemplated by the Agreement or a substantial reduction of his duties
contemplated by the Agreement; (2) the removal of any titles bestowed under the
Agreement; (3) any material breach or failure of iBIZ to carry out the
provisions of the Agreement after notice and an opportunity to cure; and (4) the

iBIZ Technology Corp. Stock Option Plan
The iBIZ Technology Corp. Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option
Plan") provides for the grant of stock options to purchase common stock to
eligible directors, officers, key employees, and service providers of iBIZ. The
Stock Option Plan covers an aggregate maximum of five million (5,000,000) shares
of common stock and provides for the granting of both incentive stock options
(as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) and
non-qualified stock options (options which do not meet the requirements of
Section 422). Under the Stock Option Plan, the exercise price may not be less
than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant of the
option. As of January 6, 2000, two million nine hundred thousand (2,900,000)
options ("the Options") had been granted under the plan at exercise prices of
$0.75 and $1.00. The Options are granted for a period of ten (10) years, subject
to earlier cancellation upon termination of employment, resignation, disability
and death. The Options vest pursuant to the terms of each individual option,
which to date have ranged from immediate to a five (5) year period.
The Board of Directors (the "Board") administers and interprets the
Stock Option Plan and is authorized to grant options thereunder to all eligible
persons. In the event the Board has at least two (2) members who are not either
employees or officers of iBIZ or of any parent or subsidiary of iBIZ, the Stock
Option Plan will be administered by a committee of not less than two (2) persons
who are such independent directors. The Board designates the optionees, the
number of shares subject to the options and the terms and conditions of each
option. Certain changes in control of iBIZ, as defined in the Stock Option Plan,
will cause the options to vest immediately. Each option granted under the Stock
Option Plan must be exercised, if at all, during a period established in the
grant which may not exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant. An optionee
may not transfer or assign any option granted and may not exercise any options
after a specified period subsequent to the termination of the optionee's
employment with iBIZ. The Board may make such amendments to the Stock Option
Plan from time to time it deems proper and in the best interests of iBIZ
provided it may not take any action which disqualifies any option granted under
the Stock Option Plan as an incentive stock option or which adversely effects or
impairs the rights of the holder of any option under the Stock Option Plan.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Prior to the Reorganization, INVNSYS operated as a closely-held
private corporation. While a private company, INVNSYS made loans totaling
$992,037 to Kenneth Schilling. These loans are payable on demand and accrued
interest at eight percent (8%) during 1997 and six percent (6%) during 1998 and
1999. As of October 31, 1999, the balance of the loans payable by Mr. Schilling
to INVNSYS totaled Three Hundred Fifty-six Thousand Eight Hundred Ten Dollars
($356,810.00). Effective October 31, 1999, Mr. Schilling, as trustee of the
Moorea Trust, pledged 500,000 shares of iBIZ common stock to secure this debt.
iBIZ leases its facility from Lone Cactus Capital Group, L.L.C., a
limited liability company in which Kenneth Schilling is a member. iBIZ believes
the terms of the lease are at an arms-length fair market rate.

<PAGE> 40
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
General. iBIZ's Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of
100,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value. As of January 6, 2000,
there were 26,771,380 shares of common stock outstanding and an aggregate of
3,300,000 options and warrants to purchase common stock.
Common Stock. Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one
vote for each share of common stock held of record on all matters submitted to a
vote of the shareholders. Each share of common stock is entitled to receive
dividends as may be declared by the Company's Board of Directors out of funds
legally available. Management, however, does not presently intend to pay any
dividends. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets
remaining after payment in full of all creditors of the Company and the
liquidation preferences of any outstanding shares of preferred stock, if any.
There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common
stock.
Debentures. iBIZ has issued Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($200,000.00) of 8% Debentures. The 8% Debentures are due on June 21, 2000, bear
interest at eight percent per annum, and are unsecured. Under the terms of the
8% Debentures, iBIZ is obligated to include the shares issuable upon conversion
of the debentures in this SB-2 registration statement. Upon the effectiveness of
this registration statement, the 8% Debentures will automatically convert to
300,000 fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock.
On November 6, 1999, iBIZ issued Six Hundred Thousand Dollars
($600,000.00) of 7% Debentures (the "600k 7% Debentures") to Globe United
Holdings, Inc. ("Globe"). Thereafter, on December 29, 1999, iBIZ issued to Globe
additional 7% Debentures in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00)
(the "1000k 7% Debentures").
The 7% Debentures accrue interest at seven percent per annum and are
due November 9, 2004, and December 29, 2004, respectively. iBIZ is obligated to
make payments of accrued interest semi-annually; interest on the 600k 7%
Debentures is due on the first day of April and November and interest on the
1000k 7% Debentures is due on the first day of May and December. At Globe's
option, iBIZ may make interest payments in the form of shares of common stock
(calculated as if a portion of principal, as described below).
Globe may at any time convert all or a portion of the outstanding
principal amount, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, into that
number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i)
the principal amount of the debenture to be converted by (ii) the Applicable
Conversion Price. On December 6, 1999, Globe converted $200,000 of the 7%
Debentures, plus accrued interest to date. Pursuant to the conversion formula,
iBIZ issued 300,962 shares of common stock.
In consideration for the purchase of the 1000k 7% Debentures, iBIZ
agreed to amend the Applicable Conversion Price of the remaining amount of the
600k 7% Debentures. The Applicable Conversion Price, as amended, is defined as
the lesser of (i) $0.675 or (ii) the
35
<PAGE> 41
product obtained by multiplying (x) the Average Closing Price (as defined in the
7% Debentures) by (y) .80.
The Applicable Conversion Price for the 1000k 7% Debentures, is the
lesser of (i) $0.94 or (ii) the product obtained by multiplying (x) the Average
Closing Price (as defined in the 7% Debentures) by (y) .80. In addition, Globe
may require iBIZ to redeem the 7% Debentures for cash at a redemption price
equal to 120% of the aggregate principal and accrued interest outstanding in the
event of a Change in Control of iBIZ (as defined in the 7% Debentures).
In connection with the sale of the 7% Debentures, iBIZ agreed to
file a registration statement to cover the resale of the common stock issuable
upon conversion of the 7% Debentures and the exercise of the warrants (described
below) by January 7, 2000, and to use its best efforts to cause the registration
statement to be declared effective by February 21, 2000. If the registration
statement is not filed by January 7, 2000, or is not effective by February 21,
2000, iBIZ is obligated to pay liquidated damages equal to 2% of the purchase
price of all the 7% Debentures and the warrants (described below) for each 30
day period the registration statement is not filed or effective.
Pursuant to the terms of the 7% Debentures, iBIZ may not, without
the prior written consent of Globe, offer or sell, shares of its capital stock
or any security or other instrument convertible into or exchangeable for shares
of common stock, for the period ending on the earlier of (i) one hundred eighty
(180) days after the date on which this registration statement is declared
effective by the SEC or (ii) the date on which Globe shall have converted all of
the Debentures into common stock (the "Lock-Up Period"), except that iBIZ (i)
may issue securities for the aggregate consideration of at least Seven Million
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000.00) in connection with a bona fide,
firm commitment, underwritten public offering under the Securities Act; and (ii)
may issue additional shares of common stock upon the exercise or conversion of
outstanding options, warrants and other convertible securities issued prior to
November 15, 1999; (iii) may issue options, in addition to all options
previously issued as of November 15, 1999, to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of
its common stock to its directors, officers and employees in connection with its
existing stock option plans.
In addition, iBIZ is restricted from registering any shares of its
capital stock (other than shares to be received upon exercise by option and
warrant holders as of November 15, 1999) until the later to occur of (i) the
expiration of the respective Lock-Up Periods or (ii) the registration statement
filed by iBIZ covering shares to be issued to Globe upon conversion of the 7%
Debentures or exercise of the warrants has been effective under the Securities
Act for a period of at least one-hundred and eighty (180) days.
In addition, the 7% Debentures grant Globe a right of first refusal
on purchases of additional securities for a period of eighteen (18) months from
the date of execution. So long as the 7% Debentures or warrants are outstanding,
iBIZ may not (i) declare or pay any dividends or make distributions to any
holder of common stock or (ii) acquire any common stock of iBIZ.
Options and Warrants Included in Prospectus. Of the total 6,839,252
shares registered for sale by the selling securityholders, 900,000 shares are
issuable upon exercise of options and warrants issued to consultants. These
consultants warrants and options are
36
<PAGE> 42
immediately exercisable, have an exercise price of $0.75 or $1.00 per share and
have terms from three to ten years.
In addition, in connection the issuance of the 7% Debentures, iBIZ
has issued a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock and a warrant to
purchase 200,000 shares of common stock. As the registration rights agreement
between the selling securityholder and iBIZ requires the registration of 200% of
the original shares issuable under the warrants, this prospectus covers the sale
of 600,000 shares. The terms of these warrants are as follows:

INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
iBIZ's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide to the fullest
extent permitted by Florida law, a director or officer of iBIZ shall not be
personally liable to iBIZ or its shareholders for damages for breach of such
director's or officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of iBIZ's
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, is to eliminate the right of iBIZ and its
shareholders (through shareholders' derivative suits on behalf of iBIZ) to
recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty
of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or
grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute.
iBIZ believes that the indemnification provisions in its Articles of
Incorporation, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons
as directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to its directors, officers and controlling
persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, iBIZ has been advised
that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
EXPERTS
The financial statements for iBIZ as of October 31, 1997 and 1998
and for the one year period ended October 31, 1999, included in this prospectus
have been audited and reviewed, respectively, by Moffitt & Company, P.C.,
independent public accountants, as indicated in their reports with respect
thereto, such statements and are herein included in reliance upon the authority
of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing in rendering the reports.
LEGAL MATTERS

stock offered will be passed upon by iBIZ's legal counsel, Gammage & Burnham,

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Invnsys Technology Corporation, formerly known as Southwest Financial
Systems, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Arizona on July 30, 1980
and is in the business of selling retail and wholesale financial,
computing and communication equipment. They also provide repair services
and sell maintenance contracts. The corporation currently operates a
service center in Phoenix, Arizona.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
Uncollectible accounts receivable are written off at the time management
specifically determines them to be uncollectible. In addition, the
allowance for doubtful accounts is provided at an amount determined by
management.
A summary of accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts
is as follows:

</TABLE>
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined principally by
the first-in, first-out method) or market.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and
improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacement,
maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the
respective assets, are expensed. At the time property and equipment are
retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated
depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or
losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.
The company depreciates its property and equipment for financial
reporting purposes using the straight-line method based upon the
following useful lives of the assets:

Machinery and equipment 5-10 Years

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.
Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The company recognizes revenue from product sales when the goods are
shipped and title passes to customers.
SALES OF MAINTENANCE AGREEMENTS
The revenue received for the maintenance agreements is being reported
evenly over the life of the contracts. Such unearned portion is
recorded as deferred income.
INCOME TAXES
Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable
for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences
between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported
amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently
enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the
deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or
settled as prescribed in FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for
income taxes.

OCTOBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
NET EARNINGS PER SHARE
The company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
128 that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings
per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net
income available to common shareowners by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per
share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities
or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The company is in the computer and computer technology industry. The
company's products are subject to rapid obsolescence and management
must authorize funds for research and development costs in order to
stay competitive.
NOTE 2 DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The company has financial instruments, none of which are held for
trading purposes. The company estimates that the fair value of all
financial instruments at October 31, 1998 and 1997, as defined in
FASB 107, does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying
values of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying
balance sheet. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined
by the company using available market information and appropriate
valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in
interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value, and
accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the
amounts that the company could realize in a current market exchange.
NOTE 3 INVENTORIES
At October 31, 1998 and 1997, inventories were comprised of:

Corp. and Consolidated Subsidiary as of October 31, 1999, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit, and
cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with Statements on Standards
for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants. All information included in these financial statements is
the representation of the management of IBIZ Technology Corp. and Consolidated
Subsidiary.
A review consists principally of inquiries of company personnel and analytical
procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an
audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements,
the company incurred a net loss of $954,099 during the year ended October 31,
1999, and, as of that date had a working capital deficit of $897,121 and a
shareholders' deficit of $429,063. In addition sales have declined significantly
from prior years. As discussed in note 22 to the financial statements, the
company's significant operating losses and capital needs raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 1999
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS
The company was organized on April 6, 1994, under the laws of the
State of Florida. In January, 1999, the company acquired Invnsys
Technology Corporation, an Arizona corporation. Per the acquisition
agreement, the company issued 16,000,000 shares of newly issued
restricted common stock for 100% of the issued and outstanding stock
of Invnsys Technology Corporation.
Invnsys Technology Corporation is in the business of selling retail
and wholesale, financial, computing and communication equipment. They
also provide repair services and sell maintenance contracts. The
corporation currently operates a service center in Phoenix, Arizona.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of iBIZ
Technology Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Invnsys Technology
Corporation.
All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
CORPORATION NAME CHANGES
The corporation has changed its name as follows:
1. At date of incorporation - Exotic Video City, Inc.
2. May 28, 1998 - EVC Ventures, Inc.
3. October 10, 1998 - Invnsys Holding Corporation
4. January 21, 1999 - IBIZ Technology Corp.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
Uncollectible accounts receivable are written off at the time
management specifically determines them to be uncollectible. In
addition, the allowance for doubtful accounts is provided at an
amount determined by management.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined principally
by first-in, first-out method) or cost [MARKET?].

OCTOBER 31, 1999
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and
improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacement,
maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of
the respective assets, are expensed. At the time property and
equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related
accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable
amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or
charged to income.
The company depreciates its property and equipment for financial
reporting purposes using the straight-line method based upon the
following useful lives of the assets:
Tooling 3 Years
Machinery and equipment 5-10 Years
Office furniture and equipment 5-10 Years
Vehicles 5 Years
Leasehold improvements 5 Years
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.
Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The company recognizes revenue from product sales when the goods are
shipped and title passes to customers.
SALES OF MAINTENANCE AGREEMENTS
The revenue received for the maintenance agreements is being reported
evenly over the life of the contracts. Such unearned portion is
recorded as deferred income.
INCOME TAXES
Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable
for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences
between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported
amounts

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax
rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and
liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in
FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. As changes in
tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
NET EARNINGS PER SHARE
The company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
128 that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings
per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net
income available to common shareowners by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per
share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities
or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock. In accordance with FASB 128, potentially dilutive
warrants and options that would have an anti-dilutive effect on net
loss per share are excluded.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The company is in the computer and computer technology industry. The
company's products are subject to rapid obsolescence and management
must authorize funds for research and development costs in order to
stay competitive.
NOTE 2 DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The company has financial instruments, none of which are held for
trading purposes. The company estimates that the fair value of all
financial instruments at October 31, 1999, as defined in FASB 107,
does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of its
financial instruments recorded in the accompanying balance sheet. The
estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the company
using available market information and appropriate valuation
methodologies. Considerable judgement is required in interpreting
market data to develop the estimates of fair value, and accordingly,
the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the
company could realize in a current market exchange.
NOTE 3 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

As discussed in note 22, there is substantial doubt about the

will be absorbed by the tax differences.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification Matters. iBIZ's Articles
of Incorporation, as amended, provide to the fullest extent permitted by Florida
law, a director or officer of iBIZ shall not be personally liable to iBIZ or its
shareholders for damages for breach of such director's or officer's fiduciary
duty. The effect of this provision of iBIZ's Articles of Incorporation, as
amended, is to eliminate the right of iBIZ and its shareholders (through
shareholders' derivative suits on behalf of iBIZ) to recover damages against a
director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or
officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent
behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. iBIZ believes
that the indemnification provisions in its Articles of Incorporation, as
amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and
officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
ITEM 25. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION

incurred by the selling securityholders in connection with this Offering.

the 8% Debentures, iBIZ is obligated to include the shares issuable upon

registration statement, the 8% Debentures shall automatically convert to 300,000

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made of the securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;
(ii) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in this Registration Statement; and
(iii) include any additional or changed material information
on the plan of distribution.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is

asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the

Re: Registration Statement on Form SB-2
Gentlemen:
In connection with the registration by iBIZ Technology Corp.
(the "Company"), on Form SB-2 (the "Registration Statement") providing
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of not to exceed
6,839,252 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants and Options
and upon conversion of Debentures, we are furnishing the following opinion as
counsel to the Company.
We have examined such corporate records, certificates of
public officials and officers of the Company, and other documents and records as
we have considered necessary or proper for the purpose of this opinion.
Based upon the foregoing, and having regard to legal
considerations that we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that the shares of
Common Stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of the Options and Warrants
and upon conversion of the Debentures when issued and sold in accordance with
the transactions described in the Registration Statement, and in accordance with
the federal securities laws and the securities laws of the various states in
which the Common Stock may be issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
As counsel to the Company, we hereby consent to the reference
to this firm under the caption "Legal Matters" contained in the Prospectus which
is part of the Registration Statement and to the filing of this opinion as
Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
GAMMAGE & BURNHAM P.L.C.

conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to
creditors' rights generally and to general principles of equity.

The Company represents and warrants to the Purchaser that:
a. ORGANIZATION. The Company is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Florida. Each of the Company's subsidiaries, if any, is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of its respective jurisdiction. Each of the Company and its
subsidiaries, if any, is duly qualified as a foreign corporation in all
jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would have a material
adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.
Schedule 3a lists all subsidiaries of the Company and, except as noted
therein, all of the outstanding capital stock of all such subsidiaries
is owned of record and beneficially by the Company.
b. CAPITALIZATION. On the date hereof, the authorized
capital of the Company consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock,
par value $.001 per share, of which 26,671,380 shares are issued and
outstanding. Schedule 3b sets forth all of the options, warrants and
convertible securities of the Company, and any other rights to acquire
securities of the Company
3
<PAGE> 4
(collectively, the "Derivative Securities") which are outstanding on
the date hereof, including in each case (i) the name and class of such
Derivative Securities, (ii) the issue date of such Derivative
Securities, (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company
into which such Derivative Securities are convertible as of the date
hereof, (iv) the conversion or exercise price or prices of such
Derivative Securities as of the date hereof, (v) the expiration date of
any conversion or exercise rights held by the owners of such Derivative
Securities and (vi) any registration rights associated with such
Derivative Securities. Schedule 3b also sets forth all registration
rights associated with the Common Stock.
c. CONCERNING THE COMMON STOCK AND THE WARRANTS. The
Debentures and Warrants, and Common Stock issuable upon conversion of,
or in lieu of interest payments on, the Debentures, and upon exercise
of the Warrants so issued, when issued, shall be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable, will not be subject to
preemptive rights and will not subject the holder thereof to personal
liability by reason of being such a holder. There are currently no
preemptive rights of any stockholder of the Company, as such, to
acquire the Debentures or the Warrants, or the Common Stock issuable to
the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the Debentures or the Warrants.
d. REPORTING COMPANY STATUS. The Company files
reports with the Commission pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Company has
duly filed all materials and documents required to be filed pursuant to
all reporting obligations under either Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act. The Common Stock is listed and traded on the OTC Bulletin
Board ("OTC"), and, except as described in Schedule 3m the Company is
not aware of any pending or contemplated action or proceeding of any
kind to suspend the trading of the Common Stock.
e. AUTHORIZED SHARES. The Company has available a
sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock as
may be necessary to effect the conversion of the Debentures and the
exercise of the Warrants. The Company understands and acknowledges the
potentially dilutive effect to the Common Stock of the issuance of
shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Debentures and the
exercise of the Warrants. The Company further acknowledges that its
obligation to issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the
Debentures and upon exercise of the Warrants is absolute and
unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may
have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company
and notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C.
Section 101 et seq. (the "Bankruptcy Code"). In the event the Company
becomes a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives
to
4
<PAGE> 5
the fullest extent permitted any rights to relief it may have under 11
U.S.C. Section 362 in respect of the conversion of the Debentures and
the exercise of the Warrants. At the direction of Purchaser, the
Company agrees, without cost or expense to the Purchaser, to take or
consent to any and all action necessary to effectuate relief under 11
U.S.C. Section 362.
f. LEGALITY. The Company has the requisite corporate
power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement, and to issue and deliver the Debentures, the Warrants

g. TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS. This Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Debentures and the Warrants
(collectively, the "Primary Documents"), and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly and validly authorized
by the Company; this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
the Company and this Agreement is, and the other Primary Documents,
when executed and delivered by the Company, will each be, a valid and
binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms, except to the extent that enforcement of each of the
Primary Documents may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws
now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights generally and
to general principles of equity.
h. NON-CONTRAVENTION. The execution and delivery of
this Agreement and each of the other Primary Documents, and the
consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and each of the other Primary Documents, does not and will
not conflict with or result in a breach by the Company of any of the
terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, the Articles of
Incorporation or By-laws of the Company, or any indenture, mortgage,
deed of trust or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or
any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which they or any of their
properties or assets are bound, or any existing applicable law, rule,
or regulation or any applicable decree, judgment or order of any court
or United States or foreign federal or state regulatory body,
administrative agency, or any other governmental body having
jurisdiction over the Company, its subsidiaries, or any of their
properties or assets. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(h), neither the
filing of the registration statement required to be filed by the
Company pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement nor the offering
or sale of the Debentures or the Warrants as contemplated by this
Agreement gives rise to any rights, other than those which have been
waived or satisfied on or prior to the date hereof, for or relating to
the registration of any shares of the Common Stock. Schedule 3(h)(1)
hereto lists all material
5
<PAGE> 6

any material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make

they were made, not misleading.
k. STABILIZATION. Neither the Company, nor, to the
knowledge of the Company, any of its affiliates, has taken or may take,
directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or
which has constituted or which might reasonably be expected to
constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of the
shares of Common Stock.
l. ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES. Except as disclosed in
the Company's public filings with the Commission, since the filing of
Amendment No. 2 to the Form 10, there has been no material adverse
change nor any material adverse development in the business,
properties, operations, financial condition, prospects, outstanding
securities or results of operations of the Company.
m. FULL DISCLOSURE. Other than as set forth in
Schedule 3m, there is no fact known to the Company that has not been
disclosed in writing to the Purchaser (i) that could reasonably be
expected to have an adverse effect upon the condition (financial or
otherwise) or the earnings, business affairs, properties or assets of
the Company or (ii) that could reasonably be expected to materially and
adversely affect the ability of the Company to perform the obligations
set forth in the Primary Documents.
n. TITLE TO PROPERTIES; LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES. The
Company has good and marketable title to all of its material properties
and assets, both real and personal, and has good title to all its

has sufficient title and ownership of all patents, trademarks, service
marks, trade names, internet domain names, copyrights, trade secrets,
information, proprietary rights and processes necessary for the conduct
of its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, and
such business does not and would not conflict with or constitute an
infringement on the rights of others.
p. PERMITS. The Company has all franchises, permits,
licenses and any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its
business as now conducted, the lack of which would materially and
adversely affect the business or financial condition of the Company.
The Company is not in default in any respect under any of such
franchises, permits, licenses or similar authority.
q. ABSENCE OF LITIGATION. Except as disclosed in the
Company's public filings with the Commission, there is no action, suit,
proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public
board or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, in which an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would
have an adverse effect on the properties, business, condition
(financial or other) or results of operations of the Company and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the transactions contemplated by the
Primary Documents, or which would adversely affect the validity or
enforceability of, or the authority or ability of the Company to
perform its obligations under, the Primary Documents.
r. NO DEFAULT. Each of the Company and its
subsidiaries is not in default in the performance or observance of any
obligation, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage,
deed of trust or other instrument or agreement to which it is a party
or by which it or its property may be bound which default could result
in a material adverse effect on the Company.
s. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. Except as disclosed
in the Company's public filings with the Commission, there are no
agreements, understandings or proposed transactions between the Company
and any of its officers, directors or affiliates that, had they existed
on the date Amendment No. 2 to the Form 10 was filed, would have been
required to be disclosed in the Company's Form 10 or an amendment
thereto.
t. EMPLOYMENT MATTERS. The Company is in compliance
in all respects with all presently applicable provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, including
the regulations and published interpretations thereunder ("ERISA");___
no
7
<PAGE> 8
"reportable event" (as defined in ERISA) has occurred with respect to
any "pension plan" (as defined in ERISA) for which the Company would
have any liability; the Company has not incurred and does not expect to
incur liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination
of, or withdrawal from, any "pension plan" or (ii) Sections 412 or 4971
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including the
regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the "Code"); and
each "pension plan" for which the Company would have any liability that
is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so
qualified in all material respects and nothing has occurred, whether by
action or by failure to act, which would cause the loss of such
qualification.
u. INSURANCE. The Company maintains property and
casualty, general liability, personal injury and other similar types of
insurance that is adequate, consistent with industry standards and the
Company's historical claims experience. The Company has not received
notice from, and has no knowledge of any threat by, any insurer (that
has issued any insurance policy to the Company) that such insurer
intends to deny coverage under or cancel, discontinue or not renew any
insurance policy covering the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
presently in force.
v. TAXES. All applicable tax returns required to be
filed by the Company and each of its subsidiaries have been prepared
and filed in compliance with all applicable laws, or if not yet filed
have been granted extensions of the filing dates which extensions have
not expired, and all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental
charges upon the Company, its subsidiaries, or upon any of their
respective properties, income or franchises, shown in such returns and
on assessments received by the Company or its subsidiaries to be due
and payable have been paid, or adequate reserves therefor have been set
up if any of such taxes are being contested in good faith; or if any of
such tax returns have not been filed or if any such taxes have not been
paid or so reserved for, the failure to so file or to pay would not in
the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the business or
financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a
whole. The Company is disputing certain tax penalties and interest
thereon as set forth on Schedule 3v hereto.
w. FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT. Neither the Company
nor any of its directors, officers or other employees has (i) used any
Company funds for any unlawful contribution, endorsement, gift,
entertainment or other unlawful expense relating to any political

funds to any foreign or domestic government official or employee; (iii)

Practices Act of 1977, as amended; or (iv)
8
<PAGE> 9

similar payment to any person.
x. INTERNAL CONTROLS. The Company maintains a system
of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable
assurances that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with
management's general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to
maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted
only in accordance with management's general or specific authorization;
and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with

in connection with the offer and sale of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.

Purchaser's representations and warranties set forth in Section 2
hereof, (i) the offer, sale and issuance of the Debentures and the
Warrants, (ii) the issuance of Common Stock in lieu of interest
payments on the Debentures and the Warrants and (iii) the conversion
and/or exercise of such securities into shares of Common Stock, each as
contemplated by this Agreement, are exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. The Company agrees that neither the
Company nor anyone acting on its behalf will offer any of the
Debentures and the Warrants, or any similar securities for issuance or
sale, or solicit any offer to acquire any of the same from anyone so as
to render the issuance and sale of such securities subject to the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Company has not
offered or sold the Debentures or the Warrants by any form of general
solicitation or general advertising, as such terms are used in Rule
502(c) under the Securities Act.
bb. FULL DISCLOSURE. The representations and
warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement (and the
schedules thereto) do not contain, any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit any material fact necessary to make the statements

made, not misleading.

THESE SECURITIES (INCLUDING ANY UNDERLYING SECURITIES) HAVE
NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS

interest payments on, the Debentures, and upon exercise of the
Warrants) on the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market. The Company further agrees
and covenants that, once the Company's Common Stock becomes listed on
the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market it will not seek to have the trading of its
Common Stock through the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market suspended or
terminated, will use its best efforts to maintain its eligibility for
trading on the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market (including, the filing of a
listing application with NASDAQ to list all of the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of, or in lieu of interest payments on,
the Debentures and upon the exercise of the Warrants) and, if such
trading of its Common Stock is suspended or terminated, will use its
best efforts to requalify its Common Stock or otherwise cause such
trading to resume.
e. REPORTING STATUS. So long as the Purchaser
beneficially owns any of the Securities or any Debentures and any
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof (collectively
with the Securities, the "Collective Securities"), the Company shall
timely file all reports required to be filed with the Commission
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and shall not
terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the
Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations

with such laws so as to permit the continuance of sales therein.

shares of Common Stock so
11

the exercise in full of the Warrants.

directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the
Purchaser, offer, sell, offer to sell, contract to sell or otherwise

effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission or (ii) the date on
which Purchaser shall have converted all of the Debentures into Common

transaction of the type contemplated by such clause (or upon the
conversion or exercise of other securities that are issued in
connection with such transaction) or that were issued in connection
with any financing, acquisition or other transaction that occurred
prior to the date of this agreement to be covered by a registration
statement that is declared effective by the Commission until the later
to occur of (A) the expiration of the Lock-Up Period or (B) the
registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to its obligations
under the Registration Rights Agreement has been effective under the
Securities Act for a period of at least one-hundred and eighty (180)
days.
j. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Subject to Section 4(i),
if during the 18 month period following the Lock-Up Period the Company
shall desire to sell, offer to sell, contract to sell or otherwise
dispose of any shares of its capital stock or any security or other
instrument convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock
(collectively, the "Offered Securities") to a prospective investor (the
"Prospective Investor"), the Company shall notify (the "Offer Notice")
the Purchasers in accordance with Section 11 hereof of the terms (the
"Third Party Terms") on which the Company proposes to sell, contract to
sell or otherwise dispose of the Offered Securities to the Prospective
Investor. If, within the 5 business day period following the

Rights Agreement) relating to such Registration Statement, the Company
agrees that it will not cause any registration statement (other than
the Registration Statement) to be declared effective by the Commission.
l. STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. The Company agrees to use
its best efforts (including obtaining any vote of its stockholders
required by applicable law or Nasdaq Bylaws) to authorize and approve
the issuance of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Debentures and upon exercise of the Warrants, to the extent that such
conversion or issuance results in the issuance of 20% or more of the
Company's outstanding Common Stock; provided, however, that the failure
to obtain any such stockholder approval shall not limit any of
Purchaser's rights hereunder or pursuant to any Primary Document.
m. OWNERSHIP. At no time shall the Purchaser
(including its officers, directors and affiliates) maintain in the
aggregate beneficial ownership (as defined for purposes of Section 16
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of shares of Common

upon surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such
registration or transfer or exchange.
(ii) The Warrants will be exchangeable, at the option
of Purchaser, at any time and from time to time at the office of the
Company, for other Warrants of different denominations entitling the
holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares
of Common Stock as are purchasable under such Warrants. No service
charge will be made for such transfer or exchange.
p. DIVIDENDS OR DISTRIBUTIONS; PURCHASES OF EQUITY
SECURITIES. So long as any portion of the Warrants or the Debentures
remain outstanding, the Company agrees that it shall not (a) declare or
pay any dividends or make any distributions to any holder or holders of

their assets, unless junior to the Debentures in all respects.
r. NO AMENDMENT OF CURRENTLY OUTSTANDING DEBENTURES.
So long as any portion of the Debentures or the Warrants remain
outstanding, the Company covenants and agrees that the Company shall
not, without the consent of the Purchaser, amend any of the terms of
any currently outstanding debentures.

<PAGE> 15
Debentures or upon exercise of the Warrants, will be given by the
Company to the transfer agent and that the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of, or in lieu of interest payments on, the
Debentures or upon exercise of the Warrants, shall otherwise be freely
transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the
extent provided in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement
and applicable law. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the
Purchaser's obligations and agreement to comply with all applicable
securities laws upon resale of the Collective Securities. If the
Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel that
registration of a resale by the Purchaser of any of the Collective
Securities in accordance with Section 4(a) of this Agreement is not
required under the Securities Act, the Company shall permit the
transfer of the Collective Securities and, in the case of the Common
Stock, promptly instruct the Company's transfer agent to issue one or
more certificates for Common Stock without legend in such names and in
such denominations as specified by the Purchaser.
b. Purchaser shall exercise its right to convert the
Debentures or to exercise the Warrants, by faxing an executed and

days thereafter, the original Notice of Conversion (and the related
original certificates representing the Debentures) or Form of Election
to Purchase (and the related original Warrants) to the Company by hand
delivery or by express courier, duly endorsed. Each date on which a
Notice of Conversion or Form of Election to Purchase is faxed in
accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a "Conversion
Date." The Company will transmit the certificates representing the
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Debentures or upon
exercise of any Warrants (together with the certificates representing
the Debentures not so converted or the Warrants not so exercised) to
the Purchaser via express courier as soon as practicable, but in all
events no later than three (3) business days of the Conversion Date
relating to Debentures or Warrants (each such delivery date, together
with the Interest Delivery Date referred to in paragraph c below, is
referred to herein as a "Delivery Date"). For purposes of this
Agreement, any conversion of the Debentures or the exercise of the
Warrants shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the
close of business on the Conversion Date.
c. The Company will transmit the certificates
representing the Common Stock issuable in lieu of any dividends payable
on any Debentures, to the Purchaser via express courier as soon as
practicable, but in all events no later than three (3) business days
after the interest (or dividend) payment date applicable to which such
Common Stock is delivered (the "Interest Delivery Date").
15
<PAGE> 16
d. In lieu of delivering physical certificates
representing the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of, or in
lieu of interest payments (or dividends) on, the Debentures, or upon
the exercise of the Warrants, provided the Company's transfer agent is
participating in the Depositary Trust Company (" DTC ") Fast Automated
Securities Transfer program, on the written request of the Purchaser,
who shall have previously instructed the Purchaser's prime broker to
confirm such request to the Company's transfer agent, the Company shall
cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such Common Stock
to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser's prime
broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission
("DWAC") system no later than the applicable Delivery Date.
e. The Company understands that a delay in the
issuance of Common Stock beyond the applicable Delivery Date could
result in an economic loss to the Purchaser. As compensation to the
Purchaser for such loss, the Company agrees to pay to the Purchaser for
late issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of, or in lieu of
interest payments (or dividend payments) on, the Debentures, or upon
exercise of the Warrants, the sum of $1,000 per day for each (i) 10,000
shares of Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of Warrants, or (ii)
10,000 shares of Common Stock purchased upon conversion of Debentures.
The Company shall pay any payments that are payable to the Purchaser
pursuant to this Section 5 in immediately available funds upon demand.
Nothing herein shall limit the Purchaser's right to pursue actual
damages for the Company's failure to so issue and deliver Common Stock
to the Purchaser. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which
may be available to the Purchaser, in the event that the Company fails
for any reason to effect delivery of such Common Stock within five (5)
business days after the relevant Delivery Date, the Purchaser will be
entitled to revoke the relevant Notice of Conversion or Form of
Election to Purchase by delivering a notice to such effect to the
Company, whereupon the Company and the Purchaser shall each be restored
to their respective positions immediately prior to delivery of such
Notice of Conversion or Form of Election to Purchase. For purposes of
this Section 5, "business day" shall mean any day in which the
financial markets of New York are officially open for the conduct of
business therein.
6. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO ISSUE THE DEBENTURES
AND WARRANTS
The Purchaser understands that the Company's obligation to

laws, rules or regulations prohibiting or restricting the transactions
contemplated hereby, or requiring any consent or approval which
shall not have been obtained.
7. CONDITIONS TO THE PURCHASERS' OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE

The Company understands that the Purchaser's obligation to
purchase the Debentures and the Warrants on the Closing Date is conditioned

hostilities involving the United States, or the declaration by the
United States of a national emergency or war; or (iv) a change in

effect of any such event, in the judgment of the Purchasers, makes it
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the purchase of the
Debentures and the Warrants on the terms and in the manner contemplated
in this Agreement and in the other Primary Documents.
g. The Company shall have delivered to the Purchaser
reimbursement of the Purchaser's out-of-pocket costs and expenses

8. INDEMNIFICATION
A. Indemnification of Purchaser by the Company.
The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Purchaser, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, partners,
shareholders, employees and members (collectively, the "Buyer Indemnitees"),
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, penalties,
liabilities and deficiencies (collectively, "Losses"), and agrees to reimburse
the Buyer Indemnitees for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and
expenses of legal counsel), in each case promptly as incurred by the Buyer
Indemnitees and to the extent arising out of or in connection with:
1. any misrepresentation, omission of fact or breach of any of
the Company's representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, the
annexes, schedules or exhibits hereto or any instrument, agreement or
certificate entered into or delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement;
or
2. any failure by the Company to perform any of its covenants,
agreements, undertakings or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the
annexes, schedules or exhibits hereto or any instrument, agreement or
certificate entered into or delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement.
18
<PAGE> 19
B. Indemnification of the Company by Purchaser.
Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, partners and
members (collectively, the "Company Indemnitees"), from and against any and all
Losses, and agrees to reimburse the Company Indemnitees for all out-of-pocket
expenses (including the fees and expenses of legal counsel), to the extent
arising out of or in connection with any breach of any of Purchaser's
representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, the annexes,
schedules or exhibits hereto or any instrument, agreement or certificate entered
into or delivered by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.
C. Third Party Claims. Promptly after receipt by either party
hereto seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 8 (an "Indemnified
Party") of written notice of any investigation, claim, proceeding or other
action in respect of which indemnification is being sought (each, a "Claim"),
the Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the party against whom
indemnification pursuant to this Section 8 is being sought (the "Indemnifying
Party") of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the
Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it otherwise may
have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party
is materially prejudiced and forfeits substantive rights and defenses by reason
of such failure. In connection with any Claim as to which both the Indemnifying
Party and the Indemnified Party are parties, the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled to assume the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the assumption of the
defense of any Claim by the indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have
the right to employ separate legal counsel and to participate in the defense of
such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees,
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such separate legal counsel to the
Indemnified Party if (and only if): (x) the Indemnifying Party shall have agreed
to pay such fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, (y) the Indemnified Party
and the Indemnifying Party reasonably shall have concluded that representation
of the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party by the same legal counsel
would not be appropriate due to actual or, as reasonably determined by legal
counsel to the Indemnified Party, potentially differing interests between such
parties in the conduct of the defense of such Claim, or if there may be legal
defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are in addition to or disparate
from those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (z) the Indemnifying Party
shall have failed to employ legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the
commencement of such Claim. If the Indemnified Party employs separate legal
counsel in circumstances other than as described in clauses (x), (y) or (z)
above, the fees, costs and expenses of such legal counsel shall be borne
exclusively by the Indemnified Party. Except as provided above, the Indemnifying
Party shall not, in connection with any Claim in the same jurisdiction, be
liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of legal counsel for the
Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local counsel). The Indemnifying
Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
19
<PAGE> 20
Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), settle or
compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does
not include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all
liabilities with respect to such Claim or judgment.
D. Other Claims.
In the event one party hereunder should have a claim for
indemnification that does not involve a claim or demand being asserted by a
third party, the Indemnified Party promptly shall deliver notice of such claim
to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party disputes the claim, such
dispute shall be resolved by mutual agreement of the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party or by binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the
procedures and rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon any
award rendered by any arbitrators may be entered in any court having competent
jurisdiction thereof.
9. EXPENSES
The Company covenants and agrees with the Purchaser that the
Company will pay or cause to be paid the following: (a) the fees, disbursements
and expenses of the Purchaser's counsel in connection with the issuance of the
Collective Securities payable on the Closing Date (not to exceed $17,500), (b)
all expenses in connection with registration or qualification of the Collective
Securities for offering and sale under state securities laws as provided in
Section 4(f) hereof, and (c) all other costs and expenses incident to the
performance of its obligations hereunder which are not otherwise specifically
provided for in this Section, including the fees and disbursements of the
Company's counsel, accountants and other professional advisors, if any. If the
Company fails to satisfy its obligations or to satisfy any condition set forth
in this Agreement, as a result of which the Collective Securities are not
delivered to the Purchaser on the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Company shall reimburse the Purchaser for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Collective
Securities not so delivered.
10. GOVERNING LAW; MISCELLANEOUS
This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles
of conflict of laws. Each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of the
federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the City of New York or the
state courts of the State of New York sitting in the City of New York in
connection with any dispute arising under this Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby waives, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, any objection, including any objections based on forum non
conveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions. This
Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each
20
<PAGE> 21
of which shall be deemed an original. The headings of this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the
interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement and each of the Primary
Documents have been entered into freely by each of the parties, following
consultation with their respective counsel, and shall be interpreted fairly in
accordance with its respective terms, without any construction in favor of or
against either party. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement or the
validity or unenforceability of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon the successors and
assigns of each of the parties hereto, including any transferees of the Warrants
and the Debentures. This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in
writing signed by the party to be charged with enforcement. This Agreement
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof.

7% CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE DUE DECEMBER 28, 2004
$1,000,000 December 29, 1999
New York, New York
1. CONSIDERATION. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, IBIZ TECHNOLOGY CORP., a
Florida corporation (the "undersigned" or the "Company"), hereby promises to pay
to the order of GLOBE UNITED HOLDINGS, INC., a British Virgin Islands
corporation at its offices located at Akara Building, Wickhams Cay #1, Road Town
Tortola, British Virgin Islands or at such other place as the holder hereof (the
"holder" or the "Registered Holder") shall designate to the undersigned in
writing, in lawful money of the United States of America or in New York Clearing
House Funds, the principal amount of One Million Dollars, and to pay interest
(computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed)
on the unpaid principal amount hereof at the rate of seven (7 %) percent per
annum. The undersigned promises to pay the said principal sum and interest in
accordance with the terms of this Debenture.
2. PAYMENT. Until this Debenture is completely retired the
undersigned shall make payments of accrued interest on this Debenture on the
first day of April and November in each year (commencing with April 1, 2000),
computed at the rate of 7% per annum on the unpaid principal balance of this
Debenture for the period from the date of this Debenture until the date of such
interest payment. On December 28, 2004 (the "Maturity Date") the undersigned
shall pay the holder all unpaid principal and interest on this Debenture.
Principal and interest shall be payable at the most recent address
as the Registered Holder shall have designated to the Company in writing. No
payment of the principal of the Debenture may be made prior to the Maturity Date
by the Company without the consent of the Registered Holder, except as otherwise
provided herein. At the Registered Holder's option, any interest payments on
this Debenture may be made in the form of the issuance to the holder of the
Company's common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), with the
number of shares of
<PAGE> 2
such Common Stock to be payable in respect of such interest payments to be
determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 6, as if such interest
payment were a portion of the principal amount of the Debenture to be converted
into Common Stock.
3. OVERDUE INTEREST PAYMENTS. Interest on the indebtedness evidenced
by this Debenture after default or maturity accelerated or otherwise shall be
due and payable at the rate of eighteen (18%) percent per annum, subject to the
limitations of applicable law.
4. HOLIDAYS. If this Debenture or any installment hereof becomes due
and payable on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday under the laws of the State
of New York, the due date hereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
business day and interest shall be payable at the rate of seven (7%) percent per
annum during such extension. All payments received by the holder shall be
applied first to the payment of all accrued interest payable hereunder.
5. ISSUANCE OF DEBENTURES. This Debenture has been issued by the
Company pursuant to the authorization of the Board of Directors of the Company
(the "Board") and issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as
of the date hereof, by and between the Company and the Purchasers identified
therein (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"). Pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of $1,000,000 principal
amount of the Debentures and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock
(the "Warrants"). The Securities Purchase Agreement contains certain additional
terms that are binding upon the Company and each Registered Holder of the
Debentures. A copy of the Securities Purchase Agreement may be obtained by any
registered holder of the Debentures from the Company upon written request.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth
in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Debentures, together with any
debentures from time to time issued in replacement thereof, whether pursuant to
transfer and assignment, partial conversion thereof or otherwise, are
collectively referred to herein as the "Debentures."
6. CONVERSION. (a) Subject to and in compliance with the provisions
hereof, the holder shall have the right to convert all or a portion of the
outstanding principal amount of this Debenture into such number of shares of
Common Stock (the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of, and
issuable in respect of interest payments on, this Debenture are hereinafter
referred to as the "Conversion Shares") as shall equal the quotient obtained by
dividing (x) the principal amount of this Debenture to be converted by (y) the
Applicable Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined) and by surrender of this
Debenture, such surrender to be made in the manner provided herein.
2
<PAGE> 3
(b) For purposes hereof the term "Applicable Conversion Price" shall
mean the lesser of (i) $0.94 (the "Fixed Price") or (ii) the product obtained by
multiplying (x) the Average Closing Price (as hereinafter defined) by (y) .80.
For purposes hereof the "Average Closing Price" with respect to any
conversion elected to be made by the holder shall be the average of the daily
closing bid prices (each such price is referred to individually as a "Floating
Reference Price" and, collectively, as the "Floating Reference Prices") for any
three trading days, as selected by the holder, out of the twenty trading days
immediately preceding the date on which the holder gives the Company a written
notice of the holder's election to convert outstanding principal of this
Debenture. The closing bid price on any trading day shall be (a) if the Common
Stock is then listed or quoted on either the NASD Bulletin Board, the NASDAQ
SmallCap Market or the NASDAQ National Market, the reported closing bid price
for the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. ("Bloomberg") or The Wall
Street Journal (the "Journal") on such day (or, if not so reported, as otherwise
reported by The Nasdaq Small Cap Market), (b) if the Common Stock is listed on
either the American Stock Exchange or New York Stock Exchange, the last reported
sales price for the Common Stock on such exchange on such day as reported by
Bloomberg or the Journal or (c) if no such prices are reported for the Common
Stock by Bloomberg or the Journal, then the average of such prices of any market
makers for such security as reported in the "pink sheets" by the National
Quotation Bureau, Inc. If the prices of the Common Stock cannot be calculated on
such date on any of the foregoing bases, such prices on such date shall be the
fair market value as determined by an unaffiliated investment bank selected by
Registered Holder for which the calculation is required in order to determine
the Applicable Conversion Price. "Trading day" shall mean any day on which the
Company's Common Stock is traded for any period on the principal securities
exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being
traded.
(c) If, during any period following the issuance of this Debenture,
as a result of the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 3(f) or
3(g) of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and
between the Company and the purchasers set forth therein (the "Registration
Rights Agreement"), the Purchasers set forth therein are not able to sell shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of, or in lieu of interest payments on,
this Debenture pursuant to a registration statement filed pursuant to such
agreement, the Registered Holder shall have the right, for any purpose under
this Debenture during such period and thereafter, to designate as the Applicable
Conversion Price any Conversion Price that would have been applicable during
such period had the Registered Holder delivered a Notice of Conversion with
respect to any portion of this Debenture. "Conversion Date" shall have the
meaning given such term in Section 5(b) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
(d) The Registered Holder shall convert this Debenture in accordance
with Section 5 of the Securities Purchase Agreement. If the Company
3
<PAGE> 4
fails to deliver to the holder a certificate or certificates for shares of
Common Stock in the period set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the
Company shall pay a penalty to the Registered Holder as set forth in Section
5(e) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
(e) If the entire outstanding principal amount of this Debenture is
not converted, the Company shall also issue and deliver to such holder a new
Debenture of like tenor in the principal amount equal to the principal which was
not converted and dated the effective date of conversion. Each conversion shall
be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on
the date on which a Notice of Conversion shall have been delivered as aforesaid,
and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate of certificates
for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be
deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented
thereby at such time on such date.
(f) All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of this
Debenture will, upon delivery, be duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid
and nonassessable.
(g) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon
conversion of this Debenture. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock
which would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of a principal of this
Debenture the Company shall pay to the holder an amount in cash (computed to the
nearest cent) equal to the Average Closing Price multiplied by the fraction of a
share of Common Stock represented by such fractional interest.
(h) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon any
conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the payee hereof
for any tax or other expense in respect to the issuance of such certificates,
all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such
certificates shall be issued only in the name of the registered holder of this
Debenture.
7. REDEMPTION BY COMPANY. (a) If while this Debenture is outstanding
there shall occur a Change in Control of the Company (as defined below), then,
at the option of the Registered Holder, the Company shall, on the effective date
of and subject to the consummation of such Change in Control, redeem this
Debenture for cash from the Registered Holder at a redemption price equal to
125% of the aggregate principal and accrued interest outstanding under this
Debenture. Nothing in this subsection shall limit the Registered Holder's right
to convert this Debenture on or prior to such Change in Control. For purposes
hereof, a "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if (A) any person
or group (as defined for purposes of Regulation 13D of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended) (excluding persons who on the date hereof are
beneficial owners of shares of the Company's voting stock and affiliates of such
persons) shall have become the
4
<PAGE> 5
beneficial owner or owners of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of
the Company; (B) there shall have occurred a merger or consolidation in which
the Company or an affiliate of the Company is not the survivor or in which
holders of the Common Stock of the Company shall have become entitled to receive
cash, securities of the Company other than voting common stock or securities of
any other person; (C) at any time persons constituting the Existing Board of
Directors cease for any reason whatsoever to constitute at least a majority of
the members of the Board of Directors of the Company; or (D) there shall have
occurred a sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company. For
purposes hereof, the term "Existing Board of Directors" shall mean the persons
constituting the Board of Directors of the Company on the date hereof, together
with each new director whose election, or nomination for election by the
Company's stockholders is approved by a vote of the majority of the members of
the Existing Board of Directors who are in office immediately prior to the
election or nomination of such director.
(b) At any time that the number of shares of Common Stock issued
upon conversion of the Debentures and in respect of interest payments on the
Debentures, shall equal 4,750,000 (a "Redemption Event"), the Corporation shall,
at its election, either (x) redeem all of the principal amount then outstanding
under this Debenture for cash in an amount equal to (A) the quotient of (i) the
aggregate principal and accrued interest outstanding under this Debenture and
(ii) the Applicable Conversion Price as if this Debenture had been converted on
the Debenture Redemption Date multiplied by (B) the Average Closing Price of
shares of Common Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the
Debenture Redemption Date, or (y) if required, call a special meeting of its
stockholders for the purpose of approving the transactions contemplated by the
Securities Purchase Agreement, including the issuance of the Debenture on the
terms set forth therein, together with any other approvals that shall be
required so as to cause the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase
Agreement to remain in compliance with the Rules and Regulations of The Nasdaq
Stock Market (including Rules 4300 and 4310 of Nasdaq's Non-Qualitative
Designation Criteria in connection with conversions of Debentures; such
approvals are referred to herein as the "Required Approvals"). The Corporation
shall determine within five (5) business days following the receipt of a Notice
of Conversion which of such actions it shall take, and shall promptly furnish
notice to each of the holders of Debenture as to such determination, including,
if applicable, a notice of redemption.
(c) If the Corporation elects to call a special meeting of its
stockholders pursuant to Subsection 7(b) of this Debenture to obtain the
Required Approvals, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to obtain such
Required Approvals within forty five (45) days (or 75 days if the information
statement is reviewed by the Commission) of the Initial Closing Date (such forty
five (45) day (or seventy five (75) day) period is referred to herein as an
"Approval Period"). If the Corporation does not obtain the Required Approvals
within the Approval Period and the Corporation receives a Notice of Conversion
after the termination of the Approval
5
<PAGE> 6
Period, the Corporation must redeem, in accordance with this Section 7 of this
Debenture, any principal amount of Debentures outstanding after the Corporation
has issued in excess of 4,750,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with
conversions of this Debenture.
(d) If the Corporation elects, pursuant to this Section 7, to redeem
this Debenture on the occurrence of a Debenture Redemption Event, it shall
redeem such Debenture at the price determined in accordance with Subsection 7(b)
of this Debenture. If the Corporation shall have elected, pursuant to this
Subsection 7(b), to obtain the Required Approvals but shall not have done so by
the later of the occurrence of the Debenture Redemption Event or the expiration
of the Approval Period, it shall furnish a redemption notice to the Purchasers

charges lawfully levied or assessed upon it, its property and any part thereof,

become delinquent; and will duly observe, and conform to, all lawful
requirements of any governmental authority relative to any of its property, and
all covenants, terms and conditions upon or under which any of its property is
held; provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Company to observe
or conform to any requirement of governmental authority or to pay any such tax,
assessment or governmental charges so long as the validity thereof shall be

business and will duly procure all necessary renewals and extensions thereof and
use its best efforts to maintain, preserve and renew all of its rights, powers,

merger or liquidation of any subsidiary or subsidiaries of the Company with or
into the Company.

Securities Purchase Agreement or in exchange for Debentures as provided
hereunder. The term "Common Stock" includes all stock of any class or classes
(however designated) of the Company, authorized on or after the date hereof, the

dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed
or performed hereunder or pursuant to any of the Primary Documents by the
Company, and will at all times assist in good faith in the carrying out of all
the provisions of this Debenture and the Primary Documents and in the taking of
all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the
conversion rights of the Registered Holders of the Debentures against
impairment.
(f) In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the
holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders
thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or
other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire
any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to
receive any other right, the Company shall mail to each Registered Holder of the
Debentures, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice
specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of
such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such
dividend, distribution or right.
9. LIMITATION ON CERTAIN CORPORATE ACTS. The Company hereby
covenants and agrees that upon any consolidation or merger or upon the transfer
of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Company, the due
and punctual payment of the principal and interest on all the Debentures
according to their tenor and the due and punctual performance and observance of
all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Debentures and the Primary
Documents to be kept and performed by the Company shall be expressly assumed by
the corporation formed by such consolidation, or into which the Company shall
have merged or by the purchaser of
7
<PAGE> 8
such property or assets; and such assumption shall be an express condition of
such merger or consolidation agreement or agreement for the transfer of property
or assets.
10. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. In case one or more of the following events
of default shall have occurred:
(a) default in the due and punctual payment of interest upon or
principal of any of the Debentures as and when the same becomes due and payable

manner and at the time required by Section 5 of the Securities Purchase
Agreement; or

Primary Documents, or to cure any material breach in a material representation
or covenant contained in the Primary Documents for a period of ten (10) days
after the date on which written notice of such failure or breach requiring the
same to be remedied has been given by a Registered Holder to the Company; or
(e) a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction has been
entered adjudging the Company (or any Material Subsidiary) a bankrupt or
insolvent, or approving a petition seeking reorganization of the Company (or any

or a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction for the appointment of a
receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of the
Company (or any Material Subsidiary) or of all or substantially all of its
property, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, has been entered,
and has remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of thirty (30)
days; or
(f) the Company (or any Material Subsidiary) institutes proceedings
to be adjudicated a voluntary bankrupt, or consents to the filing of a
bankruptcy proceeding against it, or files a petition or answer or consent
seeking reorganization under applicable law, or consents to the filing of any
such petition or to the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or trustee or
assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of it or of all or substantially all of its
property, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits in
writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or if the

execution or any similar process to be issued or levied against it
8
<PAGE> 9
or any significant part of its property which is not released, stayed, bonded or
vacated within thirty (30) days after its issue or levy; or if the Company (or

agreement, instrument or commitment evidencing or under which there is at the
time outstanding any indebtedness of the Company (or a Material Subsidiary, as
hereinafter defined), in excess of $25,000, or which results in such
indebtedness, in an aggregate amount (with other defaulted indebtedness) in
excess of $25,000 becoming due and payable prior to its due date and if such
indenture or instrument so requires, the holder or holders thereof (or a trustee
on their behalf) shall have declared such indebtedness due and payable; or
(h) if any of the Company or its subsidiaries shall default in the
observance or performance of any material term or provision of a material
agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound, and such default is
not waived or cured within the applicable grace period; or
(i) if a final judgment which, either alone or together with other
outstanding final judgments against the Company and its subsidiaries, exceeds an
aggregate of $25,000 shall be rendered against the Company (or any Material
Subsidiary) and such judgment shall have continued undischarged or unstayed for
thirty (30) days after entry thereof;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as such event of
default has not been remedied and unless the principal of all the Debentures has
already become due and payable, the holders of not less than fifty-one percent
(51%) in principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding, by notice in
writing to the Company, may declare the principal of all the Debentures then
outstanding and the interest accrued thereof, if not already due and payable, to
be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall
become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything herein contained to
the contrary notwithstanding.

subsidiary with respect to which the Company has directly or indirectly
invested, loaned, advanced or guaranteed the obligations of, an aggregate amount
exceeding fifteen percent (15%) of the Company's gross assets, or the Company's

subsidiary's most recent financial statements) exceed fifteen percent (15%) of
the Company's gross assets or net income, respectively, or the gross revenues of
which exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the gross revenues of the Company based
upon the most recent financial statements of such subsidiary and the Company.

11. TRANSFERABILITY. This Debenture is transferable, in whole or in
part, only in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
The Registered Holder may submit a written request, in person or by his duly
authorized attorney, for a transfer of the Debenture on the register of the
Company maintained at its principal offices. The Company may deem and treat the
person in whose name this Debenture is registered as the absolute owner hereof,
for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal thereof and interest
hereon, whether or not the same shall be overdue, and for all other purposes
whatsoever, including but without limitation, the giving of any written notices
required hereunder, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
12. STOCK SPLITS; DIVIDENDS; ADJUSTMENTS; REORGANIZATIONS.
(a) If the Company, at any time while the Debentures are
outstanding, (i) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or
distributions on any equity securities (including investments or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for such equity securities) in shares of Common
Stock, (ii) issue any securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (iii)
subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares,
(iv) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
the Fixed Price and each Floating Reference Price prior to the date of any such
occurrence (collectively, the "Reference Prices") shall be multiplied by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 12(a) shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such
dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the
effective date in the case of an issuance, a subdivision or a combination.
(b) In the event that the Company issues or sells any Common Stock
or securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for its Common Stock or
any convertible or exchangeable securities, or any warrants or other rights to
subscribe for or to purchase or any options for the purchase of its Common Stock
or any such convertible or exchangeable securities (other than shares or options
issued pursuant to the Company's employee or director option plans or shares
issued upon exercise of options, warrants or rights outstanding on the date of
the Securities Purchase Agreement and listed in the Company's most recent
periodic report filed under the Exchange Act) at an effective purchase price per
share which is less than the Fixed Price then in effect, then the Fixed Price in
effect immediately prior to such issue or sale shall be reduced effective
concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount determined by multiplying such
Fixed Price then in effect by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be
the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which
the aggregate consideration received by the Company
10
<PAGE> 11
for such additional shares would purchase at such Fixed Price then in effect;
and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
of the Company outstanding immediately after such issue or sale.
For the purposes of the foregoing adjustment, in the case of the
issuance of any convertible or exchangeable securities, warrants, options or
other rights to subscribe for or to purchase or exchange for, shares of Common
Stock ("Exchangeable Securities"), the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of such Exchangeable Securities
shall be deemed to be outstanding, provided that no further adjustment shall be
made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon exercise, exchange or
conversion of such Exchangeable Securities.
(c) If the Company, at any time while the Debentures are
outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Shares of Common Stock evidences
of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
any security (excluding those referred to in Section 12(b) above) then in each
such case the Fixed Price thereafter shall be determined by multiplying the
Fixed Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for
determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a
fraction of which the denominator shall be the Market Price for Shares of Common
Stock (as defined below) determined as of the record date mentioned above, and
of which the numerator shall be such Market Price for Shares of Common Stock on
such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the
portion of such assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to
one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by the Board in good faith;
provided, however that in the event of a distribution exceeding 25% of the net
assets of the Company, such fair market value shall be determined by a
nationally recognized investment banking firm or firm of independent chartered
accountants of recognized standing (which may be the firm that regularly
examines the financial statements of the Company) (an "Appraiser") selected in
good faith by the Board and holders of a majority in interest of the Debentures.
In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to all
holders of Debentures of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so
distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one outstanding share of
Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is
made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned
above.
"Market Price for Shares of Common Stock" shall mean the price
of one share of Common Stock determined as follows:
(i) If the Common Stock is listed on NASDAQ, the
closing bid price on the date of valuation;
11
<PAGE> 12
(ii) If the Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock
Exchange or the American Stock Exchange, the closing bid price on
such exchange on the date of valuation;
(iii) If neither (i) nor (ii) apply but the Common Stock
is quoted in the over-the-counter market, another recognized
exchange, on the pink sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board, the lesser
of (A) the lowest sales price or (B) the mean between the last
reported "bid" and "asked" prices thereof on the date of valuation;
and
(iv) If neither clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above applies,
the market value as determined by a nationally recognized investment
banking firm or other nationally recognized financial advisor
retained by the Company for such purpose, taking into consideration,
among other factors, the earnings history, book value and prospects
for the Company, and the prices at which shares of Common Stock
recently have been traded. Such determination shall be conclusive
and binding on all persons.
(d) (1) In the event that at any time or from time to time after the
Closing Date, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Debentures is
changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of
stock, whether by merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification or
otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend
or reorganization provided for elsewhere in this Paragraph 12), then and as a
condition to each such event provision shall be made in a manner reasonably
acceptable to the holders of Debentures so that each holder of Debentures shall
have the right thereafter to convert such Debenture into the kind of stock
receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by
holders of shares of Common Stock, all subject to further adjustment as provided
herein. In such event, the formulae set forth herein for conversion and
redemption shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change in number of
shares or, if shares of a new class of stock are issued, to reflect the market
price of the class or classes of stock (applying the same factors used in
determining the Fixed Price) issued in connection with the above described
transaction.
(2) If at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date
there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock, including by way of a
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (other than a
recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of
shares provided for elsewhere in this Paragraph 12), then, as a part of and a
condition to such reorganization, provision shall be made in a manner reasonably
acceptable to the holders of the Debentures so that the holders of the
Debentures shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the
Debentures the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to
which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon
conversion would have been entitled on such capital
12
<PAGE> 13
reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
application of the provisions of this Paragraph 12 with respect to the rights of
the holders of the Debentures after the reorganization to the end that the
provisions of this Paragraph 12 shall be applicable after that event and be as
nearly equivalent as may be practicable, including, by way of illustration and
not limitation, by equitably adjusting the formulae set forth herein for
conversion and redemption to reflect the market price of the securities or
property (applying the same factors used in determining the Market Price for
Shares of Common Stock) issued in connection with the above described
transaction.
(e) If at any time during the period ending twelve (12) months after
the Closing Date, the Company sells or agrees to sell (including pursuant to a
letter of intent, term sheet, or similar means) shares of Common Stock or
securities or options convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for,
shares of Common Stock (other than (i) a sale pursuant to a bona fide registered
public offering of shares of Common Stock by the Company conducted on the basis
of a firm commitment underwriting raising at least $10,000,000 or (ii) shares or
options issued pursuant to the Company's employee, director or consultant stock
option plans) then, if the effective or maximum sales price of the shares of
Common Stock with respect to such transaction (including the effective or
maximum conversion exercise or exchange price) ("Other Price") is less than the
Fixed Price of the Debentures at such time, the Company, at the option of a
holder exercised by written notice to the Company, shall adjust the Fixed Price
applicable to the Debentures of such holder not yet converted in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to such holder of Debentures so that the
conversion price applicable to those Debentures shall, in no event, be greater,
after giving effect to all other adjustments contained therein, than the Other
Price.
(f) Whenever any element of the Applicable Conversion Price is
adjusted pursuant to Section 12(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), the Company shall
promptly mail to each holder of the Debentures, a notice setting forth the
Applicable Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(g) In the event of any taking by the Company of a record date of
the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the
holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution,
any security or right convertible or exchangeable into or entitling the holder
thereof to receive additional shares of Common Stock, or any right to subscribe
for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Company, shall
deliver to each holder of Debentures at least 20 days prior to the date
specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to
be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, security or right and
the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, security or right.

shall pay attorney's fees to the Registered Holder hereof, together with
reasonable costs and expenses of collection or enforcement incurred in
connection with any such action.

exercise this Warrant, on any Business Day, for all or any part of the number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder.
In order to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, Holder shall
deliver to the Company at the office or agency designated by the Company
pursuant to Section 12, (i) a written notice of Holder's election to exercise
this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to
be purchased, (ii) payment by cash, check or bank draft payable to the Company
of the Warrant Price in cash or by wire transfer or cashier's check drawn on a
United States bank or by the Holder's surrender of Warrant Stock (or the right
to receive such number of shares) having an aggregate Market Price equal to the
Warrant Price for all shares then being
4
<PAGE> 5
purchased and (iii) this Warrant. Such notice shall be substantially in the form
of the subscription form appearing at the end of this Warrant as Exhibit A, duly
executed by Holder or its agent or attorney. Upon receipt of the items referred
to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Company shall, as promptly as
practicable, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter, execute
or cause to be executed and deliver or cause to be delivered to Holder a
certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of full shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any
fraction of a share, as hereinafter provided. The stock certificate or
certificates so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination
or denominations as Holder shall request in the notice and shall be registered
in the name of Holder or, subject to Section 9, such other name as shall be
designated in the notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised
and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and
Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to
have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date
the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Warrant Price.
If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the
time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Stock,
deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the
unpurchased shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant
shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
The Holder shall be entitled to exercise the Warrant notwithstanding
the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq. (the
"Bankruptcy Code"). In the event the Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy
Code, the Company hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted any rights to
relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. Section 362 in respect of the Holder's
exercise right. The Company hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted any
rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. Section 362 in respect of the
exercise of the Warrant. The Company agrees, without cost or expense to the
Holder, to take or consent to any and all action necessary to effectuate relief
under 11 U.S.C. Section 362.
2.2. Payment of Taxes and Charges. All shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and without any preemptive rights.
The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other
governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issue or delivery
thereof.
Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a
fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any
fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon
such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final
fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price per share
of Common Stock on the relevant exercise date.
5
<PAGE> 6
Continued Validity. A holder of shares of Common Stock issued
upon the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part (other than a holder who
acquires such shares after the same have been publicly sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement under the Securities Act or sold pursuant to Rule 144
thereunder), shall continue to be entitled with respect to such shares to all
rights to which it would have been entitled as Holder under Sections 9, 10 and
14 of this Warrant. The Company will, at the time of exercise of this Warrant,
in whole or in part, upon the request of Holder, acknowledge in writing, in form
reasonably satisfactory to Holder, its continuing obligation to afford Holder
all such rights; provided, however, that if Holder shall fall to make any such
request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company
to afford to Holder all such rights.
3. TRANSFER, DIVISION AND COMBINATION
3.1 Transfer. Subject to compliance with Sections 9, transfer of
this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be registered
on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of
this Warrant at the principal office of the Company referred to in Section 2.1
or the office or agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 12,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of
Exhibit B hereto duly executed by Holder or its agent or attorney. Upon such
surrender, the Company shall, subject to Section 9, execute and deliver a new
Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the
denomination specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the
assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned,
and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if properly assigned in
compliance with Section 9, may be exercised by a new Holder for the purchase of
shares of Common Stock without having a new Warrant issued.
3.2 Division and Combination. Subject to Section 9, this Warrant may
be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the
aforesaid office or agency of the Company, together with a written notice
specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued,
signed by Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section
3.1 and with Section 9, as to any transfer which may be involved in such
division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in
accordance with such notice.
3.3 Expenses. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its
own expense the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 3.
3.4 Maintenance of Books. The Company agrees to maintain, at its
aforesaid office or agency, books for the registration and the registration of
transfer of the Warrants.
6
<PAGE> 7
4. ADJUSTMENTS
The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable, or the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of
this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in
this Section 4. The Company shall give Holder notice at the time of such event.
4.1. Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time
the Company shall:
(a) take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the
purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other
distribution of, Additional Shares of Common Stock,
(b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
larger number of shares of Common Stock, or
(c) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock,
then (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted
to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to
receive after the happening of such event, and (ii) the Current Warrant Price
shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Current Warrant Price multiplied by the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
4.2. Certain Other Distributions.
(a) If at any time prior to the Expiration Date the Company
shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of
entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution of.
(i) cash,
(ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of
its stock or any other securities or property of any nature
whatsoever (other than cash, Convertible Securities or Additional
Shares of Common Stock), or
7
<PAGE> 8
(iii) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or
purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of its stock
or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other
than cash, Convertible Securities or Additional Shares of Common
Stock),
then Holder shall be entitled to receive such dividend or distribution as if
Holder had exercised the Warrant. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other
than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par
value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of
stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to the holders of its Common
Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this
Section 4.2 and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into
a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such
reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as
the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of
Section 4.1.
(b) In case the Company shall issue any Common Stock or any rights,
options or warrants to all holders of record of its Common Stock entitling all
holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share
less than the Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for
such issue, the Current Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the close
of business on the date fixed for such determination shall be reduced to the
amount determined by multiplying such Current Warrant Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for such
determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of
the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for
subscription or purchase would purchase at such Market Price and the denominator
of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the
number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase, such
reduced amount to become effective immediately after the close of business on
the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this clause (b), (i)
the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include
shares held in the treasury of the Company and (ii) in the case of any rights,
options or warrants which expire by their terms not more than 60 days after the
date of issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof, no adjustment of the Current
Warrant Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all rights,
options or warrants, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the manner
provided in this clause (b), but only with respect to the shares of Common Stock
actually issued pursuant thereto. Such adjustment shall be made successively
whenever any event specified above shall occur. In the event that any or all
rights, options or warrants covered by this clause (b) are not so issued or
expire or terminate before being exercised, the Current Warrant Price then in
effect shall be appropriately readjusted.

4.3. Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments under this Section.
The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the
Current Warrant Price provided for in this Section 4:
(a) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by
this Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event
requiring an adjustment shall occur. For the purpose of any adjustment, any
specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the
date of its occurrence.
(b) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this
Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to
the nearest 1/10th of a share.
(c) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Company shall take a
record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to
receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall,
thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon
its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase
rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking
of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall
be rescinded and annulled.
(d) Challenge to Good Faith Determination. Whenever the Board
of Directors of the Company shall be required to make a determination in good
faith of the fair value of any item under this Section 4, such determination may
be challenged in good faith by the Holder, and any dispute shall be resolved by
an investment banking firm of recognized national standing selected by the
Holder.
4.4. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or
Disposition of Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital,
reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another
corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there
is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company),
or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property,
assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of
assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any
cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever
(including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or
in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation ("Other
Property"), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock
of the Company, then Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon
exercise of the Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor
or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation,
and Other
9
<PAGE> 10
Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor
or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the
due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and
condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all
the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may
be deemed appropriate, subject to the Holder's consent, in order to provide for
adjustments of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided
for in this Section 4. For purposes of this Section 4.4, "common stock of the
successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of
any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class
of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall
also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities
which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either
immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a
specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase
any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly
apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations
or disposition of assets.
4.5. Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case at any time or
from time to time the Company shall take any action in respect of its Common
Stock, other than any action taken in the ordinary course of the Company's
business or any action described in this Section 4, which would, in the opinion
of an unaffiliated investment bank selected by Holder, have a materially adverse
effect upon the rights of the Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock
and/or the purchase price thereof shall be adjusted in such manner as may be
equitable in the circumstances, as determined in good faith by an unaffiliated
investment bank selected by Holder.
4.6. Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company agrees not to enter into any transaction which, by reason
of any adjustment hereunder, would cause the Current Warrant Price to be less
than the par value per share of Common Stock.
4.7. No Voting Rights. This Warrant shall not entitle its Holder to
any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company.
5. NOTICES TO HOLDER
5.1. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of shares of Common
Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, or whenever the price at which a
share of such Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants, shall
be adjusted pursuant to Section 4, the Company shall forthwith prepare a
10
<PAGE> 11
certificate to be executed by an executive officer of the Company setting forth,
in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which
such adjustment was calculated, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock
for which this Warrant is exercisable and (if such adjustment was made pursuant
to Section 4.4 or 4.5) describing the number and kind of any other shares of
stock or Other Property for which this Warrant is exercisable, and any change in
the purchase price or prices thereof, after giving effect to such adjustment or
change. The Company shall promptly cause a signed copy of such certificate to be
delivered to the Holder in accordance with Section 14.2. The Company shall keep
at its office or agency designated pursuant to Section 12 copies of all such
certificates and cause the same to be available for inspection at said office
during normal business hours by the Holder or any prospective purchaser of a
Warrant designated by the Holder.
5.2. Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other
distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its
indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or
property, or to receive any other right, or
(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company,
any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or
any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other
disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the
Company to, another corporation, or
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) at
least 30 Business Days' prior written notice of the date on which a record date
shall be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining
rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up, at least 30 Business Days prior written notice of the date when the same
shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall
specify (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of
such dividend, distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common
Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the
amount and character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer,
disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the
time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to exchange their shares of
11
<PAGE> 12
Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer,
disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each such written notice
shall be sufficiently given if addressed to Holder at the last address of Holder
appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in accordance with Section
14.2.
6. NO IMPAIRMENT
The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all
such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder
against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (a) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor
upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use its best efforts to obtain all
such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body
having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform
its obligations under this Warrant.
Upon the request of Holder, the Company will at any time during the
period this Warrant is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form reasonably
satisfactory to Holder, the continuing validity of this Warrant and the
obligations of the Company hereunder.
7. RESERVATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF COMMON STOCK
From and after the Closing Date, the Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available for issue upon the exercise of Warrants such number
of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to
permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants. All shares of Common
Stock which shall be so issuable, when issued upon exercise of any Warrant and
payment therefor in accordance with the terms of such Warrant, shall be duly and
validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive
rights.
Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing
the Current Warrant Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall take any
corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly
and legally
12
<PAGE> 13
issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted
Current Warrant Price.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Current Warrant Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or
exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public
regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof
8. TAKING OF RECORD: STOCK AND WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS
In the case of all dividends or other distributions by the Company
to the holders of its Common Stock with respect to which any provision of
Section 4 refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Company will in
each such case take such a record and will take such record as of the close of
business on a Business Day. The Company will not at any time close its stock
transfer books or Warrant transfer books so as to result in preventing or
delaying the exercise or transfer of any Warrant.
9. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY
The Warrants and the Warrant Stock shall not be transferred,
hypothecated or assigned before satisfaction of the conditions specified in this
Section 9, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the Transfer of any Warrant or
any Warrant Stock. Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees to be bound by
the provisions of this Section 9.
9.1. Restrictive Legend. The Holder by accepting this Warrant
and any Warrant Stock agrees that this Warrant and the Warrant Stock issuable
upon exercise hereof may not be assigned or otherwise transferred unless and
until (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel for the Holder that
such securities may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act or (ii) a registration statement relating to such securities has
been filed by the Company and declared effective by the Commission.
Each certificate for Warrant Stock issuable hereunder shall bear a
legend substantially worded as follows unless such securities have been sold
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act:
"The securities represented by this certificate have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act") or any state securities laws. The securities may
not be offered for sale, sold, assigned, offered, transferred
or otherwise distributed for value except (i) pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Act or any state
securities laws
13
<PAGE> 14
or (ii) pursuant to an exemption from registration or
prospectus delivery requirements under the Act or any state
securities laws in respect of which the Company has received
an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to such
effect. Copies of the agreement covering both the purchase of
the securities and restricting their transfer may be obtained
at no cost by written request made by the holder of record of
this certificate to the Secretary of the Company at the
principal executive offices of the Company."
a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9, the Warrant
shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the
following form:
"This Warrant and the securities represented hereby have
not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or any state securities laws and may not be
transferred in violation of such Act, the rules and
regulations thereunder or any state securities laws or the
provisions of this Warrant."
9.2. Notice of Proposed Transfers. Prior to any Transfer or
attempted Transfer of any Warrants or any shares of Restricted Common Stock, the
Holder shall give five days' prior written notice (a "Transfer Notice") to the
Company of Holder's intention to effect such Transfer, describing the manner and
circumstances of the proposed Transfer, and obtain from counsel to Holder an
opinion that the proposed Transfer of such Warrants or such Restricted Common
Stock may be effected without registration under the Securities Act or state
securities laws. After the Company's receipt of the Transfer Notice and opinion,
such Holder shall thereupon be entitled to Transfer such Warrants or such
Restricted Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the Transfer Notice.
Each certificate, if any, evidencing such shares of Restricted Common Stock
issued upon such Transfer and the Warrant issued upon such Transfer shall bear
the restrictive legends set forth in Section 9.1, unless in the opinion of such
counsel such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the
Securities Act.
9.3. Required Registration. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file
with the Commission not later than the 45th day after the Closing Date, a
Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and shall cause the Commission to declare
such Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act as promptly as
practicable but no later than 90 days after the Closing Date.
9.4. Termination of Restrictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of Section 9, the restrictions imposed by this Section upon the
14
<PAGE> 15
transferability of the Warrants, the Warrant Stock and the Restricted Common
Stock (or Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants) and the
legend requirements of Section 9.1 shall terminate as to any particular Warrant
or share of Warrant Stock or Restricted Common Stock (or Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of the Warrants) (i) when and so long as such security shall
have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws and disposed of pursuant thereto or (ii) when the Company shall
have received an opinion of counsel that such shares may be transferred without
registration thereof under the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws.
All Warrants issued upon registration of transfer, division or combination of,
or in substitution for, any Warrant or Warrants entitled to bear such legend
shall have a similar legend endorsed thereon. Whenever the restrictions imposed
by this Section shall terminate as to any share of Restricted Common Stock, as
hereinabove provided, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the
Company, at the Company's expense, a new certificate representing such Common
Stock not bearing the restrictive legends set forth in Section 9.1.
9.5. Listing on Securities Exchange. If the Company shall list any
shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange, it will, at its expense, list
thereon, maintain and, when necessary, increase such listing of, all shares of
Common Stock issued or, to the extent permissible under the applicable
securities exchange rules, issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant so long as
any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed during any such Exercise Period.
10. SUPPLYING INFORMATION
The Company shall cooperate with Holder in supplying such
information as may be reasonably necessary for Holder to complete and file any
information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as
a condition to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the
sale of any Warrant or Restricted Common Stock.
11. LOSS OR MUTILATION
Upon receipt by the Company from Holder of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Warrant and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being
understood that the written agreement of the Holder shall be sufficient
indemnity), and in case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation hereof,
the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of like tenor
to Holder; provided, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required
if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for
cancellation.
15
<PAGE> 16
12. OFFICE OF THE COMPANY
As long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall
maintain an office or agency (which may be the principal executive offices of
the Company) where the Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration of
transfer, division or combination as provided in this Warrant, such office to be
initially located at 1919 West Lone Cactus, Phoenix, Arizona 85021, fax:
623-492-9921, provided, however, that the Company shall provide prior written
notice to Holder of a change in address no less than 30 days prior to such
change.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by Holder
to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated as of December 29,1999 (this
"Agreement"), is made by and between IBIZ TECHNOLOGY CORP., a Florida
corporation, with headquarters located at 1919 West Lone Cactus, Phoenix,
Arizona 85027 (the "Company") and GLOBE UNITED HOLDINGS, INC., a British Virgin
Islands corporation, (the "Purchaser").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof, among the Purchaser and the Company (the "Securities Purchase
Agreement"), the Company has agreed to issue and sell to the Purchaser, (i)
$1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 7% Convertible Debentures
(the "Debentures") and (ii) warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase 200,000 shares
of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock");
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Debentures and the Warrants, (i)
upon the conversion of the Debentures, (ii) in lieu of dividend payments on the
Debentures and (iii) upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company will, in each
case, issue to the Purchaser shares of Common Stock (such shares of Common Stock
are collectively referred to herein as the "Shares"); and
WHEREAS, to induce the Purchasers to execute and deliver the Securities
Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration
rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and
applicable state securities laws.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Purchaser
hereby agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS.
As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:
(a) "Effectiveness Deadline" shall have the meaning set forth
in section 2(a)(i) hereof.
<PAGE> 2
(b) "Filing Deadline" shall have the meaning set forth in
Section 2(a)(i) hereof.
(c) "Registration Statement" means a registration statement or
registration statements of the Company filed under the Securities Act covering
Registrable Securities relating to the Debentures and Warrants.
(d) "Register," "Registered," and "Registration" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing a Registration Statement or
Statements in compliance with the Securities Act and pursuant to Rule 415 under
the Securities Act or any successor rule providing for offering securities on a
continuous basis ("Rule 415"), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness
of such Registration Statement by the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission").
(e) "Registrable Securities" means the Shares.
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
2. REGISTRATION.
(a) MANDATORY REGISTRATIONS.
(i) Registration Statement. The Company shall prepare, as
soon as practicable, but in no event later than 45 days after the Closing Date
(as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) (the "Filing Deadline"), file
with the Commission a Registration Statement or Registration Statements (as
necessary) on Form SB-2, covering the resale of all of the Registrable
Securities. In the event that Form SB-2 is unavailable and/or inappropriate for
such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available and
appropriate for such a registration. Any Registration Statement prepared
pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least that number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the product of (x) 2.0 and, (y) the sum of (i) the maximum
number of Shares that are issuable upon conversion of the Debentures, on the
date of filing, and (ii) the maximum number of Shares issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants, in each case, without regard to any limitation on any holder's
ability to convert any of the Warrants or the Debentures. Such Registration
Statement shall state that, in accordance with Rule 416 under the Securities
Act, it also covers such indeterminate number of additional Shares as may become
issuable upon conversion of such Debentures or exercise of such Warrants (i)
resulting from any adjustment in the applicable Conversion Price of such
Debentures or the Exercise Price of such Warrants or (ii) to prevent dilution
resulting from stock splits or stock dividends. If at any time two (2.0) times
the sum of (i) the maximum number of Shares into which the Debentures may be
converted and (ii) the maximum number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants, exceeds the total number of Shares so registered, the Company shall,
within five (5) business days after receipt of a written
2
<PAGE> 3
notice from the Purchaser, either (i) amend the Registration Statement or
Registration Statements filed by the Company pursuant to this section, if such
Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission at that
time, to register all of the Shares into which the Debentures and the Warrants
may be converted, or (ii) if such Registration Statement has been declared
effective by the Commission at that time, file with the Commission an additional
Registration Statement on Form SB-2, or such other appropriate form, to register
the number of Shares into which the Debentures may be converted that exceed the
number of Shares already registered. The Company shall use its best efforts to
have the Registration Statement declared effective within the earliest to occur
of (i) ninety (90) days following the Closing Date (ii) if the Commission elects
not to conduct a review of the Registration Statement, the date which is three
(3) business days after the date upon which either the Company or its counsel is
so notified, whether orally or in writing that the Commission will not conduct a
review of such Registration Statement; or (iii) if the Registration Statement is
reviewed by the Commission, the date which is three (3) business days after the
date upon which the Company or its counsel is notified by the Commission,
whether orally or in writing, that the Commission has no further comments with
respect to the Registration Statement or that the Registration Statement may be
declared effective (the earliest of such dates is referred to herein as the
"Effectiveness Deadline.") Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein or in any of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Debentures or the
Warrants (collectively, the "Primary Documents"), the Company shall take all
action necessary to ensure that the Registration Statement includes only the
Registrable Securities and those securities set forth on Schedule 1 hereto.
(ii) The Company shall keep each Registration Statement
effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until such date as is the earlier of
(i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities have been sold and (ii)
the date on which the Registrable Securities (in the opinion of counsel to the
Purchaser) may be immediately sold without restriction (including without
limitation as to volume by each holder thereof) without registration under the
Securities Act (the "Registration Period").
(b) PAYMENTS BY THE COMPANY.
(i) (A) If the Registration Statement covering the
Registrable Securities is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the
Filing Deadline, (B) if the Registration Statement covering the Registrable
Securities is not effective on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline, (C) if
the number of Shares listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or reserved by
the Company for issuance shall be insufficient, for any period of five (5)
consecutive days at any time after the Effectiveness Deadline, for issuance upon
the conversion of the Debentures and the exercise of the Warrants, or (D) upon
the occurrence of a Blackout Event (as described in Section 3(f) or Section 3(g)
below), for any period of five (5) consecutive days at any time after the
Effectiveness Deadline (each of the events
3
<PAGE> 4
described in clauses (A) through (D) of this paragraph are referred to herein as
a "Registration Default"), the Company will make payments to the Purchaser in
such amounts and at such times as shall be determined pursuant to this Section
2(b).
(ii) The amount (the "Periodic Amount") to be paid by the
Company to the Purchaser as of each thirty (30) day period during which a
Registration Default shall be in effect (each such period, a "Default Period")
shall be equal to two percent of the purchase price paid by such Purchaser for
all of the Debentures and Warrants (the "Purchase Price"); provided that, with
respect to any Default Period during which the relevant Registration Defaults
shall have been cured, the Periodic Amount shall be pro rated for the number of
days during such period during which the Registration Defaults were pending; and
provided, further, that the payment of such Periodic Amounts shall not relieve
the Company from its continuing obligations to register the Warrants and Shares
pursuant to Section 2(a).
(iii) Each Periodic Amount shall be payable by the Company in
cash or other immediately available funds to the Purchaser monthly, without
demand therefor by the Purchaser.
(iv) The parties acknowledge that the damages which may be
incurred by the Purchaser if the Registration Statement is not filed by the
Filing Deadline, if the Registration Statement has not been declared effective
by the Effectiveness Deadline, or if the provisions of Section 3(e) or 3(f)
become applicable, may be difficult to ascertain. The parties agree that the
Periodic Amount represents a reasonable estimate on the part of the parties, as
of the date of this Agreement, of the amount of such damages.
(c) PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION. (i) If at any time or from time to time,
the Company shall determine to register any of its securities, for its own
account or the account of any of its shareholders, other than a Registration
relating solely to employee share option plans or pursuant to an acquisition
transaction on Form S-4, the Company will:
(A) provide to the Purchaser written notice thereof as
soon as practicable prior to filing the Registration Statement; and
(B) include in such Registration Statement and in any
underwriting involved therein, all of the Registrable Securities specified in a
written request by the Purchaser made within fifteen (15) days after receipt of
such written notice from the Company.
(ii) If the Registration is for a registered public offering
involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Purchaser as a part
of the written notice given pursuant to this Section. In such event, the rights
of the Purchaser hereunder shall include participation in such underwriting and
the inclusion
4
<PAGE> 5
of the Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.
To the extent that the Purchaser proposes to distribute its securities through
such underwriting, the Purchaser shall (together with the Company and any other
security holders of the Company distributing their securities through such
underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, if the managing underwriter
of such underwriting determines that marketing factors require a limitation of
the number of shares to be offered in connection with such underwriting, the
managing underwriter may limit the number of Registrable Securities to be
included in the Registration and underwriting (provided, however, (a) the
Registrable Securities shall not be excluded from such underwritten offering
prior to any securities held by officers and directors of the Company or their
affiliates, (b) the Registrable Securities shall be entitled to at least the
same priority in an underwritten offering as any of the Company's existing
security holders, and (c) the Company shall not enter into any agreement that
would provide any security holder with priority in connection with an
underwritten offering greater than the priority granted to the Purchaser
hereunder). The Company shall so advise any of its other security holders who
are distributing their securities through such underwriting pursuant to their
respective piggyback registration rights, and the number of shares of
Registrable Securities and other securities that may be included in the
registration and underwriting shall be allocated among the Purchaser and all
other security holders of the Company in proportion, as nearly as practicable,
to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by the Purchaser and
such other security holders at the time of the filing of the registration
statement. If the Purchaser disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting,
it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company. Any
Registrable Securities so excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be
withdrawn from such Registration.
(d) INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
(e) PRIORITY IN FILING. Subject to the terms of the Securities
Purchase Agreement, from the date hereof until 180 days following the effective
date of the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) of this Agreement,
the Company shall not permit the registration of any of its securities under the
Securities Act to become effective, other than those covered by this Agreement
and that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated as of November 9, 1999
between Globe United Holdings, Inc. and the Company, without the prior written
approval of the Purchaser. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company may permit
a registration statement to become effective during the foregoing period
provided that such registration statement relates to a firm commitment
underwritten offering of the Company's securities that provides the Company with
at least $7.5 million.
3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. In connection with the registration of the
Registrable Securities, the Company shall do each of the following:

6. INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are included

controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act (each, an
8
<PAGE> 9
"Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses joint or several) incurred (collectively, "Claims") to which any of
them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise,
insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or
threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary
prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement,
or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company
files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the Commission) or the
omission to state therein any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company
of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state or foreign securities law or
any rule or regulation under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state
or foreign securities law (the matters in foregoing clauses (i) through (iii)
being, collectively, "Violations"). The Company shall, subject to the provisions
of Section 6(b) below, reimburse the Purchaser, promptly as such expenses are
incurred and are due and payable, for any legal and other costs, expenses and
disbursements in giving testimony or furnishing documents in response to a
subpoena or otherwise, including without limitation, the costs, expenses and
disbursements, as and when incurred, of investigating, preparing or defending
any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether or not in connection
with litigation in which the Purchaser is a party), incurred by it in connection
with the investigation or defense of any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this
Section 6(a) shall not (i) apply to any Claim arising out of or based upon a
modification which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person
expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration
Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (ii) with respect
to any preliminary prospectus, inure to the benefit of any such person from whom
the person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that
are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such
person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the
preliminary prospectus was corrected in the final prospectus, as then amended or
supplemented, if such final prospectus was timely made available by the Company
pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof; (iii) be available to the extent that such
Claim is based upon a failure of the Purchaser to deliver or to cause to be
delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was
timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof; or (iv)
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected
without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force
9
<PAGE> 10
and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities
by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 9. Each Purchaser will indemnify the
Company and its officers and directors against any Claims arising out of or
based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company, by or on behalf of the
Purchaser, expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement, subject to such limitations and conditions as are
applicable to the Indemnification provided by the Company in this Section 6.
(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this
Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6,
deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof,
and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and to the
extent that the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume control of the defense thereof
with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified
Person, provided, however, that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to
retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the
indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the
indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person
and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party
represented by such counsel in such proceeding. In such event, the Company shall
pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Purchaser, and such legal
counsel shall be selected by the Purchaser. The failure to deliver written
notice to an indemnifying party within a reasonable time after the commencement
of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to
the Indemnified Person under this Section 6, except to the extent that the
indemnifying party is materially prejudiced in its ability to such action. The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of
the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such
expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.
(c) No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Person of an unconditional and irrevocable release from all
liability in respect of such claim or litigation.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any
provisions relating to indemnification or contribution contained in the
underwriting agreements entered into among the Company, the underwriters and the
Purchaser in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict
with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in such underwriting agreements
shall be controlling as to the Registrable
10
<PAGE> 11
Securities included in the public offering; provided, however, that if, as a
result of this Section 6(d), the Purchaser, its officers, directors, partners or
any person controlling the Purchaser is or are held liable with respect to any
Claim for which they would be entitled to indemnification hereunder but for this
Section 6(d) in an amount which exceeds the aggregate proceeds received by the
Purchaser from the sale of Registrable Securities included in a registration
pursuant to such underwriting agreement (the "Excess Liability"), the Company
shall reimburse the Purchaser for such Excess Liability.
7. CONTRIBUTION. To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying
party is prohibited or limited under applicable law, the indemnifying party
agrees to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as
a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the
one hand and the Indemnified Person on the other hand in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such Claim, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party
and the Indemnified Person shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state
a material fact on which such Claim is based relates to information supplied by
the indemnifying party or by the Indemnified Person, and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the forgoing, (a) no contribution
shall be made under circumstances where the payor would not have been liable for
indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6, (b) no seller
of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation and (c) contribution by any seller of
Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net proceeds received
by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities. The Company and the
Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant
to this Section 7 were determined by pro-rata allocation (even if the Purchaser
and any other party were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other
method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in this Section.
8. REPORTS UNDER EXCHANGE ACT.
With a view to making available to the Purchaser the benefits of
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or
regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit the Purchaser to sell
securities of the Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), the
Company agrees to:
(i) make and keep public information available, as those
terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
11
<PAGE> 12
(ii) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports
and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act; and
(iii) furnish to the Purchaser so long as the Purchaser owns
Registrable Securities, Debentures or Warrants promptly upon request, (i) a
written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting
requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most
recent annual or periodic report of the Company and such other reports and
documents so filed by the Company and (iii) such other information as may be
reasonably requested to permit the Purchaser to sell such securities pursuant to
Rule 144 without registration.
9. ASSIGNMENT OF THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights to have the Company
register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be
automatically assigned by Purchaser to any transferee of all or any portion of
the principal amount of Debentures or the Warrants, or the underlying Common
Stock held by Purchaser (collectively, the "Securities") if: (a) Purchaser
agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a
copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time
after such assignment; (b) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such
transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of the name and address of
such transferee or assignee; (c) at or before the time the Company receives the
written notice contemplated by clause (b) of this sentence, the transferee or
assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions
contained herein; and (d) the transfer of the relevant Securities complies with
the restrictions set forth in Section 4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
10. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Any provision of this Agreement may
be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a
particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the
written consent of the Company and the Purchaser. Any amendment or waiver
effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon Purchaser and
the Company.
11. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) A person or entity is deemed to be a holder of Warrants or
Registrable Securities whenever such person or entity owns of record such
Warrants or Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting
instructions, notices or elections from two or more persons or entities with
respect to the same Warrants or Registrable Securities, the Company shall act
upon the basis of the instructions, notice or election received from the
registered owner of such Warrants or Registrable Securities.
12
<PAGE> 13
(b) Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in
writing (unless otherwise specified herein) and shall be effective upon personal
delivery, via facsimile (upon receipt of confirmation of error-free
transmission) or two business days following deposit of such notice with an
internationally recognized courier service, with postage prepaid and addressed
to each of the other parties thereunto entitled at the following addresses, or
at such other addresses as a party may designate by ten (10) days advance
written notice to each of the other parties hereto.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT FOR COMMON STOCK
OF
iBIZ TECHNOLOGY CORP.
This Subscription Agreement (this "Agreement") is made and entered
into as of this ___ day of January, 2000, by and between iBIZ Technology Corp. a
Florida corporation, and _______ (the "Purchaser")
RECITALS:
A. The Company and the Purchaser are executing and delivering this
Agreement in reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by
Regulation D ("Regulation D") promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
B. The Purchaser wishes to purchase, and the Company wishes to issue
and sell 250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the
"Common Stock" or "Shares") for an aggregate purchase price of $275,000 upon the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.
THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as
follows:
1. PURCHASE AND ISSUANCE OF SHARES. Upon execution of this
Agreement, the Company will, subject to the terms of this Agreement, issue and
sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers will purchase from the Company,
250,000 shares of the Common Stock, for a purchase price of $1.10 per share for
an aggregate purchase price of $275,000.
2. DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES. After delivery of the consideration set
forth in Section 1 by the Purchaser, the Company shall promptly deliver to the
Purchaser one or more certificates representing the Shares purchased by the
Purchaser. The certificates for the Common Stock will bear a notice referencing
certain restrictions on transfer for the purpose of complying with securities
laws and a notice referencing restrictions on transfer contemplated in Section 5
of this Agreement.
3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF PURCHASERS. The
Purchaser warrants and covenants to the Company as follows:
3.1 Investor Sophistication. The Purchaser is (i) experienced
in making investments of the kind described in this Agreement; (ii) able,
by
16
<PAGE> 2
reason of its business and financial experience, to protect its own
interests in connection with the transactions described in this Agreement;
and (iii) able to afford the entire loss of its investment in the Common
Stock.
3.2 Subsequent Offers or Sales. All subsequent offers and
sales of the Common Stock shall be made pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an
applicable exemption from such registration.
3.3 Reliance on Representations and Warranties. Purchaser
understands that the Common Stock is being offered and sold in reliance
upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States
federal securities laws, and that the Company is relying upon the truth
and accuracy of the Purchaser's representations and warranties, and the
Purchaser's compliance with its agreements, each as set forth herein, in
order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility
of the Purchaser to acquire the Common Stock.
3.4 Access to Information. Purchaser (i) has been provided
with sufficient information with respect to the business of the Company
and such documents relating to the Company as the Purchaser has requested
and the Purchaser has carefully reviewed the same including, without
limitation, the Company's Form 10-SB, and all amendments thereto (the
"Form 10") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October
13, 1999; (ii) has been provided with such additional information with
respect to the Company and its business and financial condition as the
Purchaser, or the Purchaser's agent or attorney, has requested; and (iii)
has had access to management of the Company and the opportunity to discuss
the information and any questions that the Purchaser had with respect
thereto have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser.
3.5 Valid Authority; Enforceability. The Purchaser has the
requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement. This
Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by the Purchaser and when
executed and delivered by the Purchaser will be a valid and binding
agreement of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its respective
terms, except to the extent that enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other
similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights
generally and to general principles of equity.
3.6 Dilution. Purchaser is aware that its percentage ownership
of Common Stock is subject to subsequent issuances as permitted by the
Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, which could cause the
percentage of outstanding shares held by the Purchaser to decrease.
17
<PAGE> 3
4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. The
Company hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Purchasers as follows:
4.1 Organization and Standing; Articles and Bylaws. The
Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Florida and has all requisite
corporate power and authority to carry on its business as proposed to be
conducted. Each of the Company's subsidiaries is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
respective jurisdiction. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries is duly
qualified as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the
failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on the Company
and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. Schedule 4.1 lists all subsidiaries
of the Company and, except as noted therein, all of the outstanding
capital stock of all such subsidiaries is owned of record and beneficially
by the Company.
4.2 Corporate Power; Authorization. The Company has all
requisite corporate power to enter into this Agreement. All corporate
action on the part of the Company, its officers and directors necessary
for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
the performance of the Company's obligations hereunder, and the sale and
issuance of the Common Stock pursuant hereto, has been or will be taken.
4.3 Capital Stock and Related Matters. On the date hereof, the
authorized capital of the Company consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 26,671,380 shares are issued
and outstanding. Schedule 4.3 sets forth all of the options, warrants and
convertible securities of the Company, and any other rights to acquire
securities of the Company (collectively, the "Derivative Securities").
4.4 Reporting Company Status; SEC Filings. The Company files
reports with the Commission pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Common Stock is
listed and traded on the OTC Bulletin Board ("OTC"). The Company is not
aware of any pending or contemplated action or proceeding of any kind to
suspend the trading of the Common Stock.
4.5 Valid Issuance. The Common Stock, when issued in
compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and will be free of any liens or
encumbrances.
4.6 No Conflict. To the knowledge of the Company, the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company will not violate
or
18
<PAGE> 4
conflict with any agreement or other obligation to which the Company is
subject, or result in any default or other adverse action. Schedule 4.6
lists all material agreements and instruments to which the Company or any
of its subsidiaries is a party or by which any of their properties or
assets are bound.
4.7 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Company's public
filings with the Commission, or on Schedule 4.7, there is no action, suit,
proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board
or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, in which an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would
have an adverse effect on the properties, business, condition (financial
or other) or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or
which would adversely affect the validity or enforceability of, or the
authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this
Agreement.
4.8 Title to Properties; Liens and Encumbrances. The Company
has good and marketable title to all of its material properties and
assets, both real and personal, and has good title to all its leasehold
interests, in each case subject only to mortgages, pledges, liens,
security interests, conditional sale agreements, encumbrances or charges
created in the ordinary course of business.
4.9 Insurance. The Company maintains property and casualty,
general liability, personal injury and other similar types of insurance
that is adequate, consistent with industry standards and the Company's
historical claims experience. The Company has not received notice from,
and has no knowledge of any threat by, any insurer (that has issued any
insurance policy to the Company) that such insurer intends to deny
coverage under or cancel, discontinue or not renew any insurance policy
presently in force covering the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
4.10 Taxes. All applicable tax returns required to be filed by
the Company and each of its subsidiaries have been prepared and filed in
compliance with all applicable laws, or if not yet filed have been granted
extensions of the filing dates which extensions have not expired. All
taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon the Company,
its subsidiaries, or upon any of their respective properties, income or
franchises, shown in such returns and on assessments received by the
Company or its subsidiaries to be due and payable have been paid, or
adequate reserves therefor have been set up if any of such taxes are being
contested in good faith. If any of such tax returns have not been filed or
if any such taxes have not been paid or so reserved for, the failure to so
file or to pay would not in the aggregate have a material adverse effect
on the business or financial condition
19
<PAGE> 5
of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The Company is
disputing certain tax penalties and interest thereon as set forth on
Schedule 4.10 hereto.
4.11 Brokerage Fees. Other than an amount equal to $__________
payable by the Company as a placement fee, the Company has not incurred
any liability for any consulting fees or agent's commissions in connection
with the offer and sale of the Common Stock contemplated by this
Agreement.
4.12 Knowledge. The phrase "to the knowledge of the Company"
shall mean to the actual knowledge of the parties executing this Agreement
on behalf of the Company.
5. CERTAIN COVENANTS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
5.1 Transfer Restrictions. The Purchaser acknowledges that,
(i) except as may be provided for below in Section 6 the Common Stock has
not been registered under the Securities Act, and such securities may not
be transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder or (B) they
are transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration and (ii)
any sale of the Common Stock made in reliance upon Rule 144 under the
Securities Act may be made only in accordance with the terms of said Rule.
The provisions of Sections 5.1 and 5.2 hereof, together with the rights of
the Purchaser under this Agreement shall be binding upon any subsequent
transferee of the Common Stock.
5.2 Restrictive Legend. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees
that, until such time as the Common Stock is registered under the
Securities Act or the Purchaser demonstrates to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Company that such registration shall no longer be
required, the Common Stock shall bear a restrictive legend in
substantially the following form:
THESE SECURITIES (INCLUDING ANY UNDERLYING SECURITIES) HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY
NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS
TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER
EVIDENCE REASONABLY
20
<PAGE> 6
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION SHALL NO LONGER
BE REQUIRED.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY STATE AND FEDERAL
SECURITIES LAWS, THESE SECURITIES SHALL NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED,
HYPOTHECATED, EXCHANGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNTIL ON OR AFTER
JUNE 1, 2000.
5.3 Filings. The Company undertakes and agrees that it will
make all required filings in connection with the sale of the Common Stock
to the Purchaser as required by United States laws and regulations, or by
any domestic securities exchange or trading market. If applicable, the
Company agrees to file a notice on Form D (at such time and in such manner
as required by the Rules and Regulations of the Commission), and to
provide copies thereof to the Purchaser promptly after such filing or
filings.
5.4 Reporting Status. So long as the Purchaser beneficially
owns any of the shares of Common Stock purchased under this Agreement, the
Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the
Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and shall
not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the
Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations
thereunder would permit such termination.
5.5 State Securities Filings. The Company shall from time to
time promptly take such action as the Purchaser or any of its
representatives, if applicable, may request to qualify the Common Stock
for offering and sale under the securities laws (other than United States
federal securities laws) of the jurisdictions in the United States as
shall be so identified to the Company, and to comply with such laws so as
to permit the continuance of sales therein.
6. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
6.1 The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to, on or
after June 1, 2000, but not later than July 31, 2000, include the Common
Stock in a registration statement ("Registration Statement") filed with
the Commission under the Securities Act, and have such Registration
Statement declared effective no later than December 31, 2000 or amend an
effective registration statement appropriate for the registration of the
Common Stock so that the Common Stock will thereafter become freely
tradeable, provided that the Purchaser shall furnish to the Company all
appropriate information in connection therewith as the Company may
reasonably request.
21
<PAGE> 7
6.2 The Company shall (i) bear the costs, expenses and fees
incurred in connection with any such registration, excluding any broker
fees, selling commissions and out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the
Purchaser; (ii) supply prospectuses and other documents as the Purchaser
may reasonably request; (iii) use its reasonable best efforts to register
and qualify the Common Stock for sale in such states as the Purchaser
designates; (iv) do any and all other acts and things that may be
necessary or desirable to enable the Purchaser to consummate the public
sale or other disposition of the Common Stock; and (v) enter into
cross-indemnification arrangements with the Purchaser with respect to
matters arising from such Registration Statement and public offering.
7. REMEDIES; ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event of any default hereunder,
the parties shall have all rights available at law or equity, including without
limitation the right to specific performance, the right to damages and the right
to rescind this Agreement. All remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive.
In the event of a dispute between the parties arising out of this Agreement, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the nonprevailing party
of reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs arising out of that dispute.
8. SURVIVAL. The representations, warranties and covenants made
herein shall survive the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby.
9. GOVERNING LAW; MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement shall be governed by
and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, without
regard to principles of conflict of laws. Each of the parties consents to the
jurisdiction of Arizona in connection with any dispute arising under this
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby waives, to
the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objections
based on forum non conveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such
jurisdictions. No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed amended, or
modified by any party unless a written amendment is signed by the parties or a
form of waiver is signed by the party against whom the waiver is asserted. This
Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original and may be executed and delivered by facsimile or other
reasonable means. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of this
Agreement. This Agreement has been entered into freely by each of the parties,
following consultation with their respective counsel, and shall be interpreted
fairly in accordance with its respective terms, without any construction in
favor of or against either party. If any provision of this Agreement shall be
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
remainder of this Agreement or the validity or unenforceability of this
Agreement in any other jurisdiction. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of, and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the
22
<PAGE> 8

understandings among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof.

transmission) or three business days following deposit of such notice with an
