PROXY STATEMENT
FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1998
This Proxy Statement and form of proxy are first being mailed
to holders of (i) common stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), (ii) Class
A Preferred Stock, $.01 par value (the "Class A Preferred Stock"), (iii) Class B
Preferred Stock, $.01 par value (the "Class B Preferred Stock") and (iv) Class C
Preferred Stock, $.01 par value (the "Class C Preferred Stock"), (collectively,
the "stockholders") of Enteractive, Inc. (the "Company") on or about June 15,
1998, and are furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the
Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company, for use at the Annual Meeting
of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held at 10:00 A.M., local time, on
Thursday, July 2, 1998, at the Harvard Club of New York City, 27 West 44th
Street, New York, New York 10036, and at any and all adjournments thereof.
A copy of the Company's Annual Report, including financial
statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1997, is being mailed with this
Proxy Statement.
As of May 13, 1998, the record date for the Annual Meeting
(the "Record Date"), there were outstanding 9,435,016 shares of Common Stock. In
addition, as of the Record Date, there were outstanding an aggregate of 6,720
shares of Class A Preferred Stock and Class C Preferred Stock and also 2,000
shares of Class B Preferred Stock. The Class A Preferred Stock and the Class C
Preferred Stock are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the Preferred
Stock. Holders of record of the Company's Common Stock, Preferred Stock and
Class B Preferred Stock at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled
to vote at the Annual Meeting. A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the
Annual Meeting, arranged alphabetically and showing the address of each
stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder,
is available at the Company's offices located at 584 Broadway, Suite 509, New
York, New York 10012 for examination by any stockholder. The list will also be
available at the meeting for examination by any stockholder.
All proxies duly executed and received by the Secretary prior
to the Annual Meeting, unless previously revoked, will be voted on all matters
presented at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the specifications made in
such proxies. Except as provided below, in the absence of specified
instructions, proxies so received will be voted (i) FOR the election of the
named nominees to the Board, (ii) FOR the approval of the amendment to the
Company's 1994 Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "1994 Plan"),
and (iii) FOR the approval of an amendment to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation to change the name of the Company from "Enteractive, Inc." to
"Cornerstone Internet Solutions Company." The Board does not know of any other
matters that may be brought before the Annual Meeting nor does it foresee or
have reason to believe that proxy holders will have to vote for substitute or
alternate nominees. In the event that any other matter should come before the
meeting or any nominee is not available for election, the persons named in the
enclosed proxy will have discretionary authority to vote all proxies with
respect to such matters in accordance with their best judgment.
The cost of this proxy solicitation will be borne by the
Company. It is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by
mail, but proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone by regular
employees of the Company. Proxy materials may also be distributed through
brokers, and other nominees or fiduciaries to beneficial owners of Common Stock
and Preferred Stock,
-1-
<PAGE>
and the Company expects to reimburse such parties for their charges and expenses
in connection therewith.
A proxy may be revoked at any time before being voted by
written notice to such effect received by the Secretary of the Company before
the proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting, by delivery to the Secretary of the
Company of a later dated proxy, or by a vote cast in person at the Annual
Meeting, but no revocation will affect any vote previously taken.
VOTING RIGHTS
Holders of each share of Common Stock are entitled to one vote
for each share held on all matters. Holders of each share of Preferred Stock are
entitled to 1,025 votes per share, aggregating 6,885,246 votes. Holders of each
share of Class B Preferred Stock are entitled to 1,000 votes per share,
aggregating 2,000,000 votes. The shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock and
Class B Preferred Stock will vote together as a single class on all of the
proposals.
The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, Preferred Stock and Class B Preferred Stock, whether present in person or
represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the election of directors,
the vote on the amendment to the 1994 Plan, and the proposal to change the name
of the Company and, any other matters that may come before the Annual Meeting.
Abstentions are counted as present in determining whether the quorum
requirements are satisfied. Proxies returned by brokers as "non-votes" on behalf
of shares held in street name because beneficial owners' discretion has been
withheld as to one or more matters on the agenda for the Annual Meeting will not
be treated as present for purposes of determining a quorum for the Annual
Meeting unless they are voted by the broker on at least one matter on the
agenda.
A plurality of the total votes cast by holders of Common Stock
and Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, is required for the
election of directors. In tabulating the vote on the election of directors,
abstentions will be disregarded and will have no effect on the outcome of such
vote. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Common
Stock, Preferred Stock and Class B Preferred Stock, voting together as a single
class, is required to approve the amendment to the 1994 Plan. In tabulating the
votes on the amendment to the 1994 Plan, shares as to which a stockholder
abstains are considered shares entitled to vote on the applicable amendment and
therefore an abstention would have the effect of a vote against the amendment.
Broker non-votes, however, are not considered shares entitled to vote on the
applicable amendment and are not included in determining whether such amendment
is approved. The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock and Preferred Stock and Class B Preferred Stock, voting together as
a single class, entitled to vote thereon, is required to approve the amendment
to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation. Accordingly abstentions and
broker non-votes will have the same effect as a negative vote.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
In February 1998, the Company consummated a private placement of 2,000
shares of Class B Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share. The
following entities which may be deemed to be 5% stockholders of the Company
purchased Class B Preferred Stock in the private placement: Applewood
Associates, L.P. (1,500 Shares) and Woodland Partners (250 Shares).
In December 1996, the Company consummated a private placement of 84
units at a purchase price of $100,000 per unit, each unit consisting of 80
shares of Class A Preferred Stock and 50,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants to
purchase in the aggregate 4,200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price
of $4.00 per share. The following entities which may be deemed to be 5%
stockholders of the Company purchased units in the private placement: Applewood
Associates, L.P. (25 units), Seneca Ventures (2 units), 21st Century
Communications-Foreign Partners, L.P. (2.28 units), 21st Century Communications
T-E Partners, L.P. (5.77 units), Woodland Partners (2 units) and Woodland
Venture Fund (3 units). In February 1998, the Company consummated an exchange
offer whereby the Company issued one share of Common Stock for every 2.8 Common
Stock Purchase Warrants tendered in the exchange offer.
On December 4, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement (the
"Enteractive Affiliates Agreement") with USWeb Corporation ("USWeb") pursuant to
which the Company became an affiliate of USWeb and a member of USWeb's Network
of independent affiliates. Investors in USWeb include 21st Century
Communications Partners, L.P., and Wheatley Partners, L.P. Such entity is
controlled by Wheatley Partners, LLC, a limited liability company which is the
general partner of Wheatley Partners, L.P. The members and officers of Wheatley
Partners, LLC include Barry Rubenstein, Irwin Lieber, Seth Lieber and Jonathan
Lieber, each of whom may be deemed 5% stockholders of the Company. Barry
Rubenstein is also a Director of USWeb.
All of the above transactions resulted from arms-length negotiations
and were approved by the independent members of the Company's Board of Directors
who did not have an interest in the transaction. The Company believes that the
terms of such transaction were on terms that were no less favorable than were
available from unaffiliated third parties. Future and ongoing transactions with
affiliates of the Company, if any, will be on terms believed by the Company to
be no less favorable than are available from unaffiliated third parties and will
be approved by a majority of the independent members of the Company's Board of
Directors who do not have an interest in the transaction.

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S
1994 INCENTIVE AND NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN
INCREASING THE NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES THAT MAY BE
SUBJECT TO OPTIONS GRANTED THEREUNDER FROM 2,500,000 TO 3,250,000
General
The Company has adopted the 1994 Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock
Option Plan (the "1994 Plan") to attract, retain and provide incentive to
employees. Under the 1994 Plan and amendments thereto, options to purchase an
aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the
event of certain corporate events) may be granted from time to time to employees
of the Company or of any subsidiary.
Summary of the Amendment to the 1994 Plan
The Board has approved an amendment to the 1994 Plan, subject to
stockholder approval, which would increase the number of shares of Common Stock
authorized for issuance upon exercise of the options granted pursuant to the
1994 Plan from 2,500,000 to 3,250,000. The Board believes that the proposed
increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the 1994 Plan is
necessary to continue the effectiveness of the Plan in attracting, motivating
and retaining employees with appropriate experience and ability and to increase
the grantees' alignment of interest with the Company's stockholders.
Summary of Plan
The 1994 Plan is administered by the Compensation and Stock Option
Committee, which consists of two non-employee directors. The Compensation and
Stock Option Committee is generally empowered to interpret the 1994 Plan,
prescribe rules and regulations relating thereto, determine the terms of the
option agreements, amend them with the consent of the optionee, determine the
employees to whom options are being granted, and determine the number of shares
subject to each option and the exercise price thereof. Under the 1994 Plan, the
per-share exercise price for incentive stock options ("ISOs") will not be less
than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the
option is granted (110% of fair market value on the date of grant of an ISO if
the optionee owns more than 10% of all classes of stock of the Company) and for
non-qualified stock options ("NQSOs") will not be less than 75% of the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Upon exercise of an
option, the optionee may pay the purchase price in cash, by check or, as
determined by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee, with previously
acquired securities of the Company, provided that, with respect to incentive
stock options applicable holding requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (the "Code") are satisfied.
Options granted pursuant to the 1994 Plan may be designated as ISOs,
with the attendant tax benefits provided under Sections 421 and 422 of the Code.
Accordingly, the 1994 Plan provides that the aggregate fair market value
(determined at the time an ISO is granted) of the Common Stock subject to ISOs
exercisable for the first time by an employee during any calendar year (under
all plans of the Company and its subsidiaries) may not exceed $100,000.
The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the 1994 Plan; provided,
however, that the 1994 Plan may not be amended without stockholder approval to
the extent that such approval is required (i) for the 1994 Plan to meet the
requirements of Rule 16b-3, or (ii) by any other provision of applicable law.
The Compensation and Stock Option Committee may amend the terms of options
previously granted; provided, however, that no such amendment may impair an
optionee's rights under an option previously granted without the consent of the
optionee.
Options may not be transferred other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, and options may be exercised solely by the optionee
during his or her lifetime. No options may be granted pursuant to the 1994 Plan
on or after January 3, 2004.

New Plan Benefits
Grants under the 1994 Plan are generally made at the discretion of the
Compensation and Stock Option Committee and are therefore not determinable with
respect to dollar value or amount. Please see "Executive Compensation -- Stock
Option Table" with respect to options granted under the 1994 Plan to Messrs.
Gyenes and Gruber.
Required Vote
Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority

OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE 1994 PLAN

THAT MAY BE SUBJECT TO OPTIONS GRANTED

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE
OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE COMPANY
FROM "ENTERACTIVE, INC." TO
"CORNERSTONE INTERNET SOLUTIONS COMPANY."
The Board has approved an amendment to Article 1 of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from
"Enteractive, Inc." to "Cornerstone Internet Solutions Company." The Company
believes the name change reinforces the Company's transition from being a
developer, publisher and marketer of interactive multimedia products to offering
products and services to customers for the design, development, operation and
maintenance of customer Intranets or sites on the Internet and World Wide Web.
The Company believes Cornerstone Internet Solutions Company more accurately
reflects its new business direction and eliminates any confusion about its line
of business. The Board has therefore recommended the change of the Company's
name because it believes that the new name better reflects the business of the
Company.
The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders consider and
approve a proposal to amend Article 1 of the Certificate of Incorporation. The
text of the proposed amendment is as follows:
"First: The name of the corporation is: Cornerstone Internet Solutions
Company"
If this amendment is adopted, stockholders will not be required to
exchange outstanding stock certificates for new certificates.
Required Vote
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of
Common Stock, the Preferred Stock and the Class B Preferred Stock voting
together as a single class is required for approval of the proposal to amend the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation.
