Related to Exchange of Share Rights

• Exchange of Shares (a) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates a form letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing the shares of ACE*COMM Common Stock, the cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the shares of i3 Common Stock represented by such Certificate or Certificates shall have been converted and any dividends or distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(b). Upon surrender of a Certificate for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (x) a certificate representing that number of whole shares of ACE*COMM Common Stock to which such holder of i3 Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Article I hereof (with such legends as may be required), (y) a check representing the amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Certificate surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, and (z) any dividends or distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(b), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash in lieu of fractional shares and unpaid dividends and distributions, if any, payable to holders of Certificates. (b) No dividends or other distributions declared after the Effective Time with respect to ACE*COMM Common Stock and payable to the holders of record thereof shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Article II. After the surrender of a Certificate in accordance with this Article II, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to shares of ACE*COMM Common Stock represented by such Certificate. No holder of an unsurrendered Certificate shall be entitled, until the surrender of such Certificate, to vote the shares of ACE*COMM Common Stock into which such i3 Common Stock shall have been converted. (c) If any certificate representing shares of ACE*COMM Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate representing shares of ACE*COMM Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable. (d) After the close of business on the day immediately prior to the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of i3 of the shares of i3 Common Stock which were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for certificates representing shares of ACE*COMM Common Stock as provided in this Article II. (e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of i3 for six months after the Effective Time may be returned to ACE*COMM. Any stockholders of i3 who have not complied with this Article II prior to such return shall thereafter look only to ACE*COMM for payment of their shares of ACE*COMM Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares and unpaid dividends and distributions on ACE*COMM Common Stock deliverable in respect of each share of i3 Common Stock such stockholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of ACE*COMM, i3, Merger Sub, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of i3 Common Stock for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. (f) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by ACE*COMM, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as ACE*COMM may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the shares of ACE*COMM Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares deliverable in respect thereof and any dividends or distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(b).

• Exchange of Stock (a) The Shareholders agree to transfer to PRECOM, and PRECOM agrees to purchase from the Shareholders, all of the Shareholders' right, title and interest in their GNOW Stock, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of GNOW, free and clear of all mortgages, liens, pledges, security interests, restrictions, encumbrances, or adverse claims of any nature. (b) At the Closing (as defined in Section 2 below), upon surrender by the Shareholders of the certificates evidencing the GNOW Stock duly endorsed for transfer to PRECOM or accompanied by stock powers executed in blank by the Shareholders, PRECOM will cause 9,453,017 shares (subject to adjustment for fractionalized shares as set forth below) of the common voting stock, par value $0.001 of PRECOM (the "PRECOM Stock") to be issued to the Shareholders, in full satisfaction of any right or interest which each Shareholder held in the GNOW Stock. The PRECOM Stock will be issued to the Shareholders on a pro rata basis, in the same proportion as the percentage of their ownership interest in the GNOW Stock, as set forth on Exhibit A. Any fractional shares that will result due to such pro rata distribution will be rounded up to the next highest whole number. As a result of the exchange of the GNOW Stock in exchange for the PRECOM Stock, GNOW will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of PRECOM. (c) Immediately following the Closing, holders of Options ("Optionholders") to purchase GNOW common stock pursuant to its current employee stock option plan will be issued 2,448,062 options (of which 692,450 are vested as of 5/29/01) to purchase stock in PRECOM (the "PRECOM Options") to be issued to the Optionholders, in full satisfaction of any right or interest which each Optionholder held to acquire GNOW stock. The PRECOM Options will be issued to the Optionholders based on a pro rata formulae with the numerator being the percentage interest that they had a right to acquire in GroupNow assuming exercise of all options (as set forth on Exhibit B) and the denominator being the percentage of PRECOM stock to be held by GNOW shareholders immediately following the Closing. Any right to acquire fractional shares that will result due to such pro rata formulae will be rounded up to the next highest whole number. (d) PRECOM intends to change its name to GroupNow, Inc. and the stock certificates to be issued to the shareholders may be issued in the name of PRECOM or GroupNow, Inc.

• Exchange of Shifts Employees may exchange shifts with the approval of the Employer, provided that, whenever possible, sufficient advance notice in writing is given and provided that there is no increase in cost to the Employer.

• Exchange of Warrants Upon the surrender by the Registered Holder, properly endorsed, to the Company at the principal office of the Company, the Company will, subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, issue and deliver to or upon the order of such Holder, at the Company's expense, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Registered Holder or as the Registered Holder (upon payment by the Registered Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash and/or property) then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

• Reclassification of Shares If the Company at any time shall, by combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant Agreement exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant Agreement shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant Agreement immediately prior to such combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change.

• Exchange of Rights (a) At any time during the period of 180 days after a Section 11(a)(ii) Event, the Board of Directors of the Company may, at its option, authorize and direct the exchange of all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Rights for Common Shares, one one-hundredths of Preferred Shares, debt securities of the Company, other property, or any combination of the foregoing, in each case having an aggregate Current Market Price equal to the result obtained by (i) multiplying the Current Market Price per Common Share on the record date for such exchange by the number of Common Shares for which a Right is exercisable on such record date and (ii) subtracting from such product the Exercise Price on such Record Date (the "Exchange Ratio"), and the Company shall so exchange the Rights. (b) Immediately upon the action of the Board of Directors of the Company authorizing and directing the exchange of the Rights pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 24, or at such time and date thereafter as it may specify, and without any further action and without any notice, the right to exercise Rights shall terminate and the only right thereafter of the holders of Rights shall be to receive the securities described in Section 24(a) in accordance with the Exchange Ratio. Within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such action, the Company shall give notice of such exchange to the holders of Rights by mailing such notice to all holders of Rights at their last addresses as they appear upon the registry books of the Rights Agent or, if prior to the Distribution Date, on the registry books of the transfer agent for the Common Shares. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but neither the failure to give any such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the legality or validity of such exchange. Each such notice of exchange shall state the method by which the Rights will be exchanged. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the aggregate number of Common Shares that are authorized by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time, but not outstanding or reserved for issuance for purposes other than upon exercise or exchange of the Rights is less than the aggregate number of Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Rights in accordance with this Section 24 (the excess of such number of authorized Common Shares over and above such number of issuable Common Shares being hereinafter referred to as the "Unavailable Exchange Shares"), then the Company shall substitute for the pro rata portion of the Unavailable Exchange Shares that would otherwise be issuable upon the exchange of the Rights in accordance with this Section 24 (i) cash, (ii) other equity securities of the Company (including, without limitation, Common Share Equivalents), (iii) debt securities of the Company, (iv) other property or (v) any combination of the foregoing, in each case having an aggregate Current Market Price equal to the aggregate Current Market Price of the Unavailable Exchange Shares for which substitution is made. Subject to Section 7(d) hereof, in the event that the Company takes any action pursuant to this Section 24, such action shall apply uniformly to all outstanding Rights.

• Combination of Shares If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the per share Exercise Price shall be appropriately increased and the number of shares of Warrant Shares shall be appropriately decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

• Exchange of Warrant This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the office or agency of the Company referred to in Section 15, for one or more new Warrants of like tenor representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for and purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to subscribe for and purchase such number of shares as shall be designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.

• Sale of Shares The Issuer grants to Distributors the right to sell shares on behalf of the Issuer during the term of this Agreement and subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"), and of the laws governing the sale of securities in the various states ("Blue Sky Laws") under the following terms and conditions: Distributors (i) shall have the right to sell, as agent on behalf of the Issuer, shares authorized for issue and registered under the 1933 Act, and (ii) may sell shares under offers of exchange, if available, between and among the funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company ("FMR") or any of its affiliates.

• Registration of Shares of Common Stock The Company agrees that as soon as practicable after the closing of its initial Business Combination, it shall use its best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement for the registration, under the Act, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and it shall use its best efforts to take such action as is necessary to register or qualify for sale, in those states in which the Warrants were initially offered by the Company and in those states where holders of Warrants then reside, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to the extent an exemption is not available. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If any such registration statement has not been declared effective by the 90th day following the closing of the Business Combination, holders of the Warrants shall have the right, during the period beginning on the 91st day after the closing of the Business Combination and ending upon such registration statement being declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and during any other period when the Company shall fail to have maintained an effective registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to exercise such Warrants on a “cashless basis” as determined in accordance with Section 3.3.1(c). The Company shall provide the Warrant Agent with an opinion of counsel for the Company (which shall be an outside law firm with securities law experience) stating that (i) the exercise of the Warrants on a cashless basis in accordance with this Section 7.4 is not required to be registered under the Act and (ii) the shares of Common Stock issued upon such exercise will be freely tradable under U.S. federal securities laws by anyone who is not an affiliate (as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act) of the Company and, accordingly, will not be required to bear a restrictive legend. For the avoidance of any doubt, unless and until all of the Warrants have been exercised on a cashless basis, the Company shall continue to be obligated to comply with its registration obligations under the first three sentences of this Section 7.4. The provisions of this Section 7.4 may not be modified, amended, or deleted without the prior written consent of the Representative.
