paid on an earned out basis. Specifically, IMSG shall pay
Shareholders Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) in

(or its successors') Net Income for the fiscal year in question.
The Earned Out Payments shall be paid in common stock of IMSG
based on its fair market value at the close of business on the
last day of the year on which the Earned Out Payment is based.
c) In the event the IPO is not consummated prior to Closing or when
the Earned Out Payments are due to be paid, shares of IMSG
common stock will be issued to Shareholders based on an assumed
price per share of $12.00, subject to adjustment if an IPO is
consummated and the initial public offering price is less than
or exceeds $12.00 per share.
d) Shares of common stock in IMSG acquired by Shareholders pursuant
to this Agreement shall be subject to a Registration Rights
Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2d and
incorporated herein by reference.
3. Option and Exchange Agreement. The parties will enter into an Option
and Exchange Agreement that provides, in the event the IPO does not
close, the Shareholders will be entitled to elect to have their shares
of IMSG redeemed by IMSG for a cash payment of $1,700,000 plus

December 10, 1998 which they desire to amend by this Addendum.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
promises and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
1. The fourth sentence of paragraph 2(a) of the Agreement shall be
modified to read as follows:
Specifically, IMSG shall issue Shareholders that number of Shares
determined by dividing $300,000.00 by the average closing price per Share
(as reported by Nasdaq) for the last five trading days in calendar year
1999.
2. Paragraph 5 of the Agreement shall be amended to add the following
subparagraphs:
(z) The Shareholders have received, read and are familiar with the Form
S-1 Registration Statement, as amended, of IMSG relating to its proposed IPO.
The Shareholders and their representatives have had full access to all
documents, records and books pertaining to IMSG and the Shareholders'
acquisition of shares of IMSG common stock pursuant hereto, and all documents
requested by Shareholders or their representatives have been made available or
delivered to Shareholders. Shareholders have had the opportunity to ask
questions of, and receive answers from, the officers and directors of IMSG
concerning such company, its business and the terms and conditions of the
transactions contemplated hereby. Shareholders have relied solely upon
independent investigations made by them or their representatives in making a
decision to enter into the Agreement and acquire shares of IMSG common stock.
Shareholders are aware that an investment in shares of IMSG common stock
involves a high degree of risk and they have carefully
18
considered the investment based upon such independent investigations.
(aa) Shareholders: (i) can bear the economic risk of losing their
entire investment; (ii) have an overall commitment to investments
that are not readily marketable which is not disproportionate to
their net worth, and the shareholders' investment in shares of
IMSG common stock will not cause such overall commitment to
become excessive, (iii) have adequate means of providing for
their current needs and personal contingencies and have no need
for liquidity in their investment in shares of IMSG common stock;
(iv) have such knowledge and experience in financial affairs as
to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
investment; and (v) find the objectives of IMSG are compatible
with their investment goals.
(bb) Each Shareholder is a permanent resident of the State of Florida
and intends to remain a resident of such state.
(cc) Shareholders understand that the shares of IMSG common stock
to be issued to them have not been registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission or any state securities commissions in
reliance on exemptions which are contingent, among other things,
on such shares being acquired solely for the account of the
Shareholders for investment and are not being acquired for
resale, fractionalization or distribution; Shareholders have no
contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person
to sell, transfer, or pledge the shares of IMSG common stock, or
any part thereof; and the Shareholders have no present plan to
enter into any such contract, undertaking, agreement or
arrangement.
(dd) Shareholders agree not to dispose of the shares of IMSG common
stock to be acquired hereunder or any interest therein, except in
compliance with the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and all
applicable state securities laws.
(ee) Shareholders acknowledge and agree that there are substantial
restrictions on the transferability of the shares of IMSG common
stock being acquired hereunder, such restrictions will be
evidenced by a legend on any certificates representing such
shares, and resales of such shares in contravention of such
restrictions are void.
3. Except for the terms of this Addendum, all other terms of the
Agreement shall remain the same.
