party to a Master Agreement (the “Master Agreement”) with CenturyTel Services
Group, LLC (“CenturyLink”), pursuant to which, Pathworks, has rights with
respect to bulk content pricing and tariffs applicable to services to be
provided in certain identified markets. In furtherance of its
performance under the Master Agreement, Pathworks has assigned certain of its
rights and responsibilities under the Master Agreement to
Pathworks-Florida. In exchange, Pathworks-Florida has entered into a
royalty agreement with Pathworks whereby Pathworks-Florida would pay Pathworks a
royalty for the first five years of service provided to Pathworks-Florida
customers and thereafter such service would continue to be provided by
Pathworks-Florida on a royalty-free basis

issued and outstanding, all of which are held by the Company. Each of
the Pathworks Shareholders is the record and beneficial owner of the number of
shares of Company Stock set forth opposite such Pathworks Shareholder’s name on

Pathworks-Florida. The number of shares of Pathworks-Florida Common
Stock to be received by each Pathworks Shareholder shall be as listed opposite
such Pathworks Shareholder’s name on Exhibit A to this
Agreement. The aggregate number of shares of Pathworks-Florida Common
Stock that will be reflected on Exhibit A is referred
to herein as the “Shares”. The
foregoing is sometimes referred to herein as the “Transaction” or the

constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended or
such other tax free reorganization exemptions that may be available under the
Code.
The Board
