corporation (“Iview
Canada”),
Iview
Holding Corp., a Delaware Corporation (“Iview
Parent”),

THEREFORE,
for
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby

1. |
Unanimous
Shareholders Agreement.
Forthwith following the exercise of the Option in whole or in part
pursuant to Section 1.1 of the Option, each of Iview Parent, Creative
Vistas, Inc. and Laurus agree to negotiate in good faith the terms
of a
unanimous shareholder agreement mutually agreeable to each of them,

agreement such as governance and transfer
restrictions.
|
2. |
Dividend.
Within 30 days of the end of each fiscal quarter following the later

(i) the exercise of the Option in whole or in part and (ii) payment
in full to Laurus of all amounts (including interest) owing and
outstanding under the Secured Term Note executed by Iview Canada

aggregate principal amount of US$2,000,000 dated the date hereof
(the

Term Note”)

Parent
establishes or acquires any direct or indirect subsidiary after the
date
hereof, Iview Parent shall also cause such subsidiary to declare
and pay a
dividend to each of its common stockholders, equal to 25% (A) the
net
operating cashflow generated by such subsidiary for such fiscal quarter
(calculated (1) in accordance with US GAAP, (2) in a manner consistent
with prior fiscal periods, (3) in a manner reasonably acceptable to
Laurus and, for greater certainty, (4) without deduction for capital
expenditures) less (B) capital expenditures made by such subsidiary
