48

with respect to AmeriNet Common Stock or Trilogy's Common
Stock occurring after the date hereof and prior to the

Common Stock who will otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a
share of AmeriNet Common Stock (after aggregating all
fractional shares of AmeriNet Common Stock to be received by
such holder) shall be entitled to receive from AmeriNet a
whole share of AmeriNet Common Stock.
1.7 DISSENTING SHARES.
(A) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any
shares of Trilogy's Capital Stock held by a holder who has demanded and
perfected appraisal rights for such shares in accordance with the
Florida Corporate Merger Laws and who, as of the Effective Time, has
not effectively withdrawn such appraisal rights ("Dissenting Shares"),
shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive AmeriNet
Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.6, but the holder thereof shall only
be entitled to such rights as are granted by the Florida Corporate
Merger Laws.
(B) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (A), if any holder of
shares of Common Stock of Trilogy who demands appraisal of such shares
under the Florida Corporate Merger Laws shall effectively withdraw the
right to appraisal, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the
occurrence of such event, such holder's shares shall automatically be
converted into and represent only the right to receive AmeriNet Common
Stock, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate
representing such shares.
(C) (1) Trilogy shall give AmeriNet:
(a) Prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of
any shares of Capital Stock of Trilogy, withdrawals
of such demands, and any other instruments served
pursuant to the Florida Corporate Merger Laws and
received by Trilogy; and
49
(b) The opportunity to participate in all negotiations
and proceedings which take place prior to the
Effective Time with respect to demands for appraisal
under the Florida Corporate Merger Laws.

AmeriNet, voluntarily make any payment before the Effective
Time with respect to any demands for appraisal of Capital

Rights shall be made by Trilogy.
1.8 SURRENDER OF CERTIFICATES.

Unless modified by AmeriNet, Liberty Transfer Co., Inc., of Huntington,

agent (the "Exchange Agent") in the Merger.
(B) AmeriNet to Provide Common Stock.
Promptly after the Effective Time, AmeriNet shall make available to the
Exchange Agent for exchange in accordance with this Article I the
shares of AmeriNet Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.6 in
exchange for outstanding shares of Trilogy's Common Stock.
(C) Exchange Procedures.
(1) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation,
shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of a
certificate or certificates (the "Certificates") which
immediately prior to the Effective Time represented
outstanding shares of Trilogy's Common Stock whose shares were
converted into the right to receive shares of AmeriNet Common
Stock pursuant to Section 1.6:
(a) A 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 shall be in such form and have such other
provisions as AmeriNet may reasonably specify); and
(b) Instructions for use in effecting the surrender of
the Certificates in exchange for certificates
representing shares of AmeriNet Common Stock.
(2) Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the
Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be
appointed by AmeriNet, together with such letter of
transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance
with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate
shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a
certificate representing the number of whole shares of
AmeriNet Common Stock (less the number of shares of AmeriNet
Common Stock to be deposited in the Escrow Fund on such
holder's behalf pursuant to Article VII hereof) to which such
holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.6, and the
Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled.
50
(3) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and subject
to and in accordance with the provisions of Article VII
hereof, AmeriNet shall cause to be distributed to the Escrow
Agent (as defined in Article VII) a certificate or
certificates representing that number of shares of AmeriNet
Common Stock equal to the Escrow Number which shall be
registered in the name of the Escrow Agent.
(4) Such shares shall be beneficially owned by the holders on
whose behalf such shares were deposited in the Escrow Fund but
shall be available to compensate AmeriNet for certain damages
as provided in Article VII.
(5) Until so surrendered, each outstanding Certificate that, prior
to the Effective Time, represented shares of Trilogy's Common
Stock will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for
all corporate purposes, other than the payment of dividends,
to evidence the ownership of the number of full shares of
AmeriNet Common Stock into which such shares of Trilogy's
Common Stock shall have been so converted in accordance with
Section 1.6.
(D) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares.
(1) No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the
Effective Time with respect to AmeriNet Common Stock with a
record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the
holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the
shares of AmeriNet Common Stock represented thereby until the
holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such
Certificate.
(2) Subject to applicable law, following surrender of any such
Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the
certificates representing whole shares of AmeriNet Common
Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the
time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other
distributions with a record date after the Effective Time
theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of AmeriNet
Common Stock.
(E) Transfers of Ownership.
If any certificate for shares of AmeriNet Common Stock is to be issued
in a name other than that in which the certificate surrendered in
exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance
thereof that the certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed
and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person
requesting such exchange will have paid to AmeriNet or any agent
designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the
issuance of a certificate for shares of AmeriNet Common Stock in any
name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate
surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of AmeriNet or any
agent designated by it that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.
(F) No Liability.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.8, none of
the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation, or any other Party shall
be liable to a holder of shares of AmeriNet Common Stock or Trilogy's
Capital Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official
pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
51
1.9 NO FURTHER OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN TRILOGY'S SECURITIES.
(A) All shares of AmeriNet Common Stock issued upon the surrender for
exchange of shares of Trilogy's Common Stock in accordance with the
terms hereof (including any cash paid in respect thereof) shall be
deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights
pertaining to such shares of Trilogy's Common Stock, and there shall be
no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving
Corporation, of shares of Trilogy's Capital Stock which were
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(B) If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the
Surviving Corporation, for any reason, they shall be canceled and
exchanged as provided in this Article I.
1.10 LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES.
In the event any certificates evidencing shares of Trilogy's Common
Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent
shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed
certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the
holder thereof, such shares of AmeriNet Common Stock and cash FOR
FRACTIONAL SHARES, IF ANY, AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 1.6;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that AmeriNet may, in its discretion and as a
condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such
lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as
it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be
made against AmeriNet or the Exchange Agent with respect to the
certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
1.11 TAX CONSEQUENCES AND ACCOUNTING TREATMENT.
(A) It is intended by the Parties that the Merger shall constitute a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Parties agree that if
modification of the terms of this Agreement in a non-material manner to
attain such qualification is necessary, they will negotiate in good
faith to make such required modifications.
(B) The Parties intend that this reorganization qualify for accounting
treatment as a pooling of interests rather than as a purchase and the
Parties agree that if modification of the terms of this Agreement is
necessary to attain such accounting treatment they will negotiate in
good faith to make such required modifications; however, the Parties
acknowledge that the exchange of the outstanding Trilogy Preferred
Stock for shares of Trilogy's Common Stock immediately prior to
execution of this Agreement may make pooling of interest accounting for
the Merger unavailable and such unavailability will not have any effect
on the rights or obligations of the Parties under this Agreement.
52

If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is

Corporation of full right, title and possession to all assets,
property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Trilogy and

account for the reorganization in the audited financial statement of
AmeriNet and the Surviving Corporation; the officers and directors of

name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will
take, all such lawful and necessary action.

ARTICLE VII
SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ESCROW
7.1 SURVIVAL OF CONDITION SUBSEQUENT; REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
(A) All conditions subsequent to the Merger and covenants to be performed
prior to the Effective Time, and all representations and warranties in
this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this
Agreement shall survive the Merger and continue until the date the
audit of AmeriNet's financial statements for the year ending June 30,
2000 has been completed and AmeriNet has received a signed opinion from
its independent auditors certifying such financial statements (the
"2000 Audit Date").
(B) All covenants to be performed after the Effective Time shall continue
indefinitely.
90
7.2 ESCROW ARRANGEMENTS.
(A) Escrow Fund.
(1) As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, a portion of
the shares of AmeriNet's Common Stock to be issued in the
Merger equal to the Escrow Number [as defined in paragraph
1.1(B)] (plus any additional New Shares (as defined below) as
may be issued in respect thereof after the Effective Date)
(collectively, the "Escrow Shares"), without any act of any
stockholder, will be registered in the name of a person or
legal entity selected by AmeriNet prior to the Effective Time
as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"), and will be deposited
with a financial institution acceptable to AmeriNet and the
Agent [as defined in Section 7.2(H) below)], such deposit to
constitute an escrow fund (the "Escrow Fund") to be governed
by the terms set forth herein and at AmeriNet's sole cost and
expense.
(2) (a) The portion of AmeriNet Common Stock in the Escrow Fund
contributed on behalf of each stockholder of Trilogy is
listed opposite such stockholders' name on Exhibit 7.2(A).
(b) The Escrow Fund shall be available to compensate AmeriNet
and its affiliates for any claim, loss, expense, liability
or other damage, including reasonable attorneys' fees that
AmeriNet or any of its affiliates has incurred or reasonably
anticipates incurring by reason of the breach by Trilogy of
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of
Trilogy contained herein, (collectively, "Losses"), but only
to the extent that such Losses exceed $40,000 in the
aggregate.
(c) AmeriNet and Trilogy each acknowledge that such Losses, if
any, would relate to unresolved contingencies existing at
the Effective Time, which if resolved at the Effective Time
would have led to a reduction in the total number of shares
of AmeriNet Common Stock AmeriNet would have agreed to issue
in connection with the Merger.
(3) Nothing herein shall limit the liability of Trilogy for any
breach of any representation, warranty or covenant if the
Merger does not close. Resort to the Escrow Fund shall be the
exclusive contractual remedy of AmeriNet and its affiliates
for any such breaches and misrepresentations if the Merger
DOES CLOSE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing herein shall limit
any noncontractual remedy for fraud.
(B) Escrow Period; Distribution upon Termination of Escrow Periods.
(1) Subject to the following requirements, the Escrow Fund shall
remain in existence until the 2000 Audit Date (the "Escrow
Period").
91
(2) Upon the expiration of such Escrow Period, the Escrow Fund
shall terminate with respect to all ESCROW SHARES; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the number of Escrow Shares, which, in the
reasonable judgment of AmeriNet, subject to the objection of
the Agent and the subsequent arbitration of the matter in the
manner provided in Section 7.2(G) hereof, are necessary to
satisfy any unsatisfied claims specified in any Officer's
Certificate delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to the
expiration of such Escrow Period with respect to facts and
circumstances existing on or prior to the 2000 Audit Date
shall remain in the Escrow Fund (and the Escrow Fund shall
remain in existence) until such claims have been resolved.
(3) As soon as all such claims have been resolved, the Escrow
Agent shall deliver to the Former Trilogy Stockholders all
AmeriNet Common Stock and other property remaining in the
Escrow Fund and not required to satisfy such claims.
(4) Deliveries of AmeriNet Common Stock and other property to the
Former Trilogy Stockholders pursuant to this Section 7.2(B)
shall be made in proportion to their respective original
contributions to the Escrow Fund.
(C) Protection of Escrow Fund.
The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund during the
Escrow Period, shall treat such fund as a trust fund in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and not as the property of AmeriNet and
shall hold and dispose of the Escrow Fund only in accordance with the
terms hereof.
(D) Distributions; Voting.
(1) (a) Any shares of AmeriNet Common Stock or other
equity securities issued or distributed by AmeriNet
(including shares issued upon a stock split) ("New
Shares") in respect of AmeriNet Common Stock in the
Escrow Fund which have not been released from the
Escrow Fund shall be added to the Escrow Fund and
become a part thereof.
(b) New Shares issued in respect of AmeriNet Common Stock
which have been released from the Escrow Fund shall
not be added to the Escrow Fund, but shall be
distributed to the holders thereof.
(c) When and if cash dividends on AmeriNet Common Stock
in the Escrow Fund shall be declared and paid, they
shall not be added to the Escrow Fund but shall be
paid to those on whose behalf such AmeriNet Common
Stock is held who, prior to the Merger, held
Trilogy's Common Stock.
(2) Each stockholder of Trilogy shall have voting rights with
respect to the shares of AmeriNet Common Stock contributed to
the Escrow Fund on behalf of such stockholder (and on any
voting securities added to the Escrow Fund in respect of such
shares of AmeriNet Common Stock) so long as such shares of
AmeriNet Common Stock or other voting securities are held in
the Escrow Fund.
92
(E) Claims Upon Escrow Fund.
Subject to the objection procedure established in Section 7.2(F) below,
the Escrow Agent shall deliver to AmeriNet out of the Escrow Fund, as
promptly as practicable, shares of AmeriNet Common Stock or other
assets held in the escrow fund in an amount equal to losses by
Amerinet, provided that
(1) A written claim of loss has been provided by AmeriNet to the
Escrow Agent at any time on or before the last day of the
Escrow Period in the form of a certificate signed by any
officer of AmeriNet (an "Officer's Certificate"), with a copy
to the Surviving Corporation:
(a) Stating that AmeriNet has paid or properly accrued or
reasonably anticipates that it will have to pay or
accrue Losses, and
(b) Specifying in reasonable detail the individual items
of Losses included in the amount so stated, the date
each such item was paid or properly accrued, or the
basis for such anticipated liability, and the nature
of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or claim
to which such item is related, the Escrow Agent
shall, subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(F)
hereof.
(2) For the purposes of determining the number of shares of
AmeriNet Common Stock to be delivered to AmeriNet out of the
Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 7.2(E)(1), the shares of
AmeriNet Common Stock shall be valued at the price actually
received therefor upon their disposition, which shall be
effected as follows:
(a) First the shares will be offered, pro rata, to the Former
Trilogy Stockholders, based on their respective ownership of
shares then comprising the Escrow Fund, at a price equal to
the closing transaction price for AmeriNet's Common Stock as
reported on the OTC Bulletin Board or if the shares are not
quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, on such public quotation
medium, other stock market or stock exchange on which
AmeriNet's Common Stock is publicly traded, on the day
following the day on which written notice of such offer is
sent by AmeriNet (the "Notice of Sale");
(b) On the close of business on the tenth day after the Notice
of Sale has been sent the offer included in the Notice of
Sale shall lapse and AmeriNet may thereafter sell all shares
of the Escrow Stock required to discharge the obligation
involved that have not been subscribed and paid for by the
Former Trilogy Stockholders, on such terms as AmeriNet deems
appropriate under the circumstances, including volume
discounts, discounts based on the absence of registration
under applicable securities laws and discounts based on
factors designed to avoid negative impact on the price of
AmeriNet's publicly trading Common Stock.
93
(F) Objections to Claims.
(1) At the time of delivery of any Officer's Certificate to the
Escrow Agent, a duplicate copy of such certificate shall be
delivered to the Agent [as defined in Section 7.2(H)] and for
a period of thirty (30) days after such delivery, the Escrow
Agent shall make no delivery to AmeriNet of shares of AmeriNet
Common Stock, pursuant to Section 7.2(E) hereof unless the
Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from
the Agent to make such delivery.
(2) After the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the
Escrow Agent shall make delivery of the shares of AmeriNet
Common Stock or other property in the Escrow Fund in
accordance with Section 7.2(E) hereof, provided that no such
payment or delivery may be made if the Agent shall object in a
written statement to the claim made in the Officer's
Certificate, and such statement shall have been delivered to
the Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of such thirty (30)
day period.
(G) Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.
(1) (a) In case the Agent shall so object in writing to
any claim or claims made in any Officer's
Certificate, the Agent and AmeriNet shall attempt in
good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective
Parties with respect to each of such claims.
(b) If the Agent and AmeriNet should so agree, a
memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be
prepared and signed by both Parties and shall be
furnished to the Escrow Agent.
(c) The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any
such memorandum and distribute shares of AmeriNet
Common Stock or other property from the Escrow Fund
in accordance with the terms thereof.
(2) (a) If no such agreement can be reached after good
faith negotiation, either AmeriNet or the Agent may
demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of
the damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation
with a third party, in which event arbitration shall
not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or
both Parties agree to arbitration; and in either such
event the matter shall be settled by arbitration
conducted by three arbitrators.
(b) AmeriNet and the Agent shall each select one
arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall
select a third arbitrator.
(c) The arbitrators shall set a limited time period and
establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and
time for discovery while allowing the Parties an
opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the
arbitrators, to discover relevant information from
the opposing Parties about the subject matter of the
dispute.
94
(d) The arbitrators shall rule upon motions to compel or
limit discovery and shall have the authority to
impose sanctions, including attorneys fees and costs,
to the extent as a court of competent law or equity,
should the arbitrators determine that discovery was
sought without substantial justification or that
discovery was refused or objected to without
substantial justification.
(e) The decision of a majority of the three arbitrators
as to the validity and amount of any claim in such
Officer's Certificate shall be binding and conclusive
upon the Parties to this Agreement, and
notwithstanding anything in Section 7.2(F) hereof,
the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in
accordance with such decision and make or withhold
payments out of the Escrow Fund in accordance
therewith.
(f) Such decision shall be written and shall be supported
by written findings of fact and conclusions which
shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order
awarded by the arbitrators.
(3) (a) (i) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
(ii) Any such arbitration shall be held in Broward
County, Florida, under the rules then in effect of
the American Arbitration Association.
(b) For purposes of this Section 7.2(G), in any
arbitration hereunder in which any claim or the
amount thereof stated in the Officer's Certificate is
at issue, AmeriNet shall be deemed to be the
Non-Prevailing Party in the event that the
arbitrators award AmeriNet less than the sum of 50%
of the disputed amount plus any amounts not in
dispute; otherwise, the Former Trilogy Stockholders
as represented by the Agent shall be deemed to be
the Non-Prevailing Party.
(c) The Non-Prevailing Party to an arbitration shall pay
its own expenses, the fees of each arbitrator, the
administrative fee of the American Arbitration
Association, and the expenses, including without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs,
incurred by the other party to the arbitration.
(H) Agent of the Stockholders: Power of Attorney.
(1) (a) (i) In the event that the Merger is approved, effective upon
such vote, and without further act of any stockholder, Xxxxx
X. Xxxxxxx (or in her absence, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx) shall be
appointed as agent and attorney-in-fact (the "Agent") for
each stockholder of Trilogy (except such stockholders, if
any, as shall have perfected their appraisal rights under
the Florida Corporate Merger Laws, for and on behalf of the
Former Trilogy Stockholders, to give and receive notices and
communications, to authorize delivery to AmeriNet of
AmeriNet Common Stock or other property from the Escrow Fund
in satisfaction of claims by AmeriNet, to object to such
deliveries, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements
and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with
orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to
such claims, and to take all actions necessary or
appropriate in the judgment of Agent for the accomplishment
of the foregoing.
95
(ii) Such agency may be changed by the Former Trilogy
Stockholders from time to time upon not less than thirty
(30) days prior written notice to Amerinet; provided that
the Agent may not be removed unless holders of a two-thirds
interest of the Common Stock comprising the Escrow Fund
agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted
agent.
(iii) No bond shall be required of the Agent, and the Agent shall
not receive compensation for his or her services. Notices or
communications to or from the Agent shall constitute notice
to or from each of the Former Trilogy Stockholders.
(b) The Agent shall be entitled to submit a claim and receive
reimbursement from the Escrow Fund for all reasonable, documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent as a result of his
acting as the agent; provided, however, that such right to
reimbursement shall be subordinate to AmeriNet's claims on the
Escrow, if any, and shall be paid only after all such claims have
been satisfied.
(c) Any such reimbursement shall be paid in shares of AmeriNet Common
Stock out of the Escrow Fund.
(d) For purposes of such reimbursement of the Agent only, such shares
shall be valued at the average of the closing prices of AmeriNet
Common Stock for the fifteen trading days ending on the day prior

hereunder as Agent while acting in good faith and in the exercise
of reasonable judgment.

connection with the acceptance or administration of the Agent's
duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of
any legal counsel retained by the Agent.
(I) Actions of the Agent.
(1) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Agent shall constitute
a decision of all the stockholders for whom shares of AmeriNet Common
Stock otherwise issuable to them are deposited in the Escrow Fund and
shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each of such stockholders,
and the Escrow Agent and AmeriNet may rely upon any such decision,
act, consent or instruction of the Agent as being the decision, act,
consent or instruction of every such stockholder.
(2) The Escrow Agent and AmeriNet are hereby relieved from any liability
to any person for any acts done by them in accordance with such
decision, act, consent or instruction of the Agent.
96
(J) Third-Party Claims.
(1) In the event AmeriNet becomes aware of a third-party claim which
AmeriNet believes may result in a demand against the Escrow Fund,
AmeriNet shall notify the Agent of such claim, and the Agent and the
Former Trilogy Stockholders shall be entitled, at their expense, to
participate in any defense of such claim.
(2) Amerinet shall have the right in its sole discretion to settle any
such claim; provided, however, that except with the consent of the
Agent, no settlement of any such claim with third-party claimants
shall alone be determinative of the validity of any claim against the
Escrow Fund.
(3) In the event that the Agent has consented to any such settlement, the
Agent shall have no power or authority to object under any provision
of this Article VII to the amount of any claim by AmeriNet against the
Escrow Fund with respect to such settlement.
(k) Escrow Agent's Duties.
(1) (a) The Escrow Agent shall be obligated only for the performance of
such duties as are specifically set forth herein, and as set

and shall be protected in relying or refraining from acting on
any instrument reasonably believed to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper party or Parties.
(b) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any act done or omitted
hereunder as Escrow Agent while acting in good faith and in the
exercise of reasonable judgment, and any act done or omitted
pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of
such good faith.
(2) The Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to disregard any and
all warnings given by any of the Parties or by any other person,
excepting only orders or process of courts of law, and is hereby
expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or
decrees of any court. In case the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with
any such order, judgment or decree of any court, the Escrow Agent
shall not be liable to any of the Parties or to any other person by
reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment or
decree being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside,
vacated or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.
(3) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any respect on account of the
identity, authority or rights of the Parties executing or delivering
or purporting to execute or deliver this Agreement or any documents or
papers deposited or called for hereunder.
(4) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for the expiration of any rights
under any statute of limitations with respect to this Agreement or any
documents deposited with the Escrow Agent.
97
(5) The Escrow Agent may resign at any time upon giving at least thirty
(30) days written notice to Amerinet and the Agent to this Agreement;
provided, however, that no such resignation shall become effective
until the appointment of a successor escrow agent which shall be
accomplished as follows:
(a) AmeriNet and the Agent shall use their best efforts to mutually
agree upon a successor agent within thirty (30) days after
receiving such notice.

such time, AmeriNet shall have the right to appoint a successor
escrow agent authorized to do business in Florida.

execute and deliver an instrument accepting such appointment and
it shall thereupon be deemed the Escrow Agent hereunder and it
shall without further acts be vested with all the estates,
properties, rights, powers, and duties of the predecessor Escrow
Agent as if originally named as Escrow Agent.
(d) Thereafter, the predecessor Escrow Agent shall be discharged for
any further duties and liabilities under this Agreement.

Undisclosed Liabilities
As of September 30, 1999, as disclosed on the Company's unaudited Financial
Statements, Trilogy has a liability for the payment of $349,582.64 in accrued
Salaries and Consulting Fees. These accrued obligations have been booked based
upon base salary or base fee only without provision for payroll taxes that may
be due at time of payment.
Of the $349,582.64 total, $141,791.70 is due to independent contractors who
worked for the Company as consultants for a period of time prior to the
Company's actually opening for business. When paid, these fees will not be
subject to any employer paid payroll taxes.
Of the $207,790.94 owed to Company employees as of September 30, 1999,
$169,816.59 is owed to employees whose base yearly salary substantially exceeds
the upper limit for FICA tax obligations. The Company believes, therefore that
at the time of payment of these deferred sums, the Company will not incur FICA
expense in excess of its obligations for FICA tax on the employees regular
annual salary. As there is no upper limit on Medicare tax payments, the Company
would incur additional expense in the amount of $2,462.34 (1.45% of deferred
salary payment) at the time of payment.
The remaining $37,974.35 is owed to employees at lower salaries that do not
exceed the FICA limitation. The Company, therefore, could incur payroll tax
expense on this amount, at the time paid in the amount of $2,905.04. (7.65% of
deferred salary payment.)
Total potential additional liability for employer paid payroll taxes, over and
above what would be paid on salaries in the normal course of business in the
year that the deferred compensation is paid, as of September 30, 1999 the
Company believes will not exceed $5,367.38

All of the above shares of stock grants had been previously negotiated by
management to be granted subject to Board approval and the shares
underlying the grants were included in the original share count given to
AmeriNet as part of the Due Diligence materials supplied by the Company.
(M) On October 15, 1999 the Company borrowed $7,000 from Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx and on
November 10, 1999 the Company borrowed $12,000 from Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx (a
Director of the Company). Both loans were made on a demand basis to be paid
upon closing of the proposed Merger.
(N) Trilogy's Board of Directors approved a plan whereby former investors in
the Company would be offered participation in a 2nd round of financing on
the same terms as the Company's February 22, 1999 Participating Preferred
Offering. The offering as approved called for a maximum of $240,000 of
total subscriptions that could be accepted. Board's approval was also
contingent upon Xxxxx Xxxxxxx'x being willing to contribute 50% of the
Common Shares of Trilogy Common Stock to be issued as a result of
subscriptions received as a result of this offering.
As of November 3, 1999, subscriptions received by the Company totaled
$84,818.18 which resulted in the issuance of 84,818 additional shares of
Common stock, 84, 818 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 84,818
Warrants to purchase Common Stock at $.25 per share.
The Subscribers to the Offering were:
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx 10,000.00
Xxxxxx Xxxxxx 23,000.00
Antares Capital Management 21,818.18
Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx 10,000.00

(O) On October 26, 1999 Trilogy signed a Consulting Agreement with Dr. Komau
Kokayi wherein the Company will pay Xx. Xxxxxx a royalty to 2% of the
Company's cost for all of the Company's product "Trilogy's Essence of Life"
colostrum for humans that is sold by the Company.
REVISED NOVEMBER 10, 1999

Schedule 2.8 (A) Tax Disclosure Schedule
(5) Trilogy has collected the appropriate sales tax for each state where
Company sales have been made. The sales tax liability as shown on the
Company's September 30, 1999 Balance Sheet represents the total liability
for payment of said taxes as shown on the attached schedule.
The tax as due to the State of Florida was paid on a timely basis prior to
the due date of October 20, 1999.
Certificate of Authority was received from the State of California November
3, 1999 and taxes due in the amount of $393.00 were paid on November 4,
1999, leaving a balance due to all other states through September 30, 1999
of $1777.45.
The Company is awaiting registration from New Jersey for which it has
applied. It is the intention of the Company to pay the amount due upon
receipt of said registration and believes that the initial return to New
Jersey will not be considered a late or delinquent filing.
The Company is in the process of obtaining license to collect and pay sales
tax in the other 37 states wherein it has made sales to date. The process
of obtaining such license is time consuming and expensive, so the Company
has chosen to prioritize its obtaining such licenses in those states
wherein there have been significant sales. The Company does not believe
that the collected but unpaid taxes in the 37 jurisdictions other than
Florida, California and New Jersey are material nor does it believe that it
has a material contingent liability for late filings over and above the
amount due as carried on the Company's books when those taxes are reported
and paid
In accordance with the terms of office premises lease, the Company is
responsible for two thirds of the common expenses including real estate
tax. The landlord has not yet received the tax assessment for 1999. The
Company has been accruing this unknown liability for its pro rata share of
real estate taxes since taking occupancy on September 17. This liability
has not been reflected on the financial statements of the Company as of
September 30, 1999.

Re: MLM State Registration
Dear Xxxx,
This letter is in response to your inquiry regarding the status of Trilogy
International's ("Trilogy") registration as a multilevel marketing ("MLM")
company in the states that require such registration.
We prepared the MLM registration documents for the states of Georgia, Louisiana,
Massachusetts, and Wyoming, which we forwarded to Trilogy on May 17, 1999. On or
about June 17, 1999, we received a letter dated June 11, 1999 from Georgia's
Office of the Secretary of State indicating receipt of the registration
documents for Trilogy. On or about June 20, 1999, we received a letter dated
June 14, 1999 from Massachusetts's Office of the Attorney General indicating
receipt of the registration documents for Trilogy. We have never heard from
Wyoming, however, we have confirmed that its Office of the Attorney General has
received Trilogy's registration documents.
In early August, we received a letter dated July 26, 1999 from Louisiana's
Office of the Attorney General. The letter explained that the nature of
Trilogy's products were not clear from the information that was submitted with
the registration packet, and further claimed that Trilogy's contractual
documents did not comport with Louisiana's jurisdictional requirement. As you
are aware, every MLM registrant has had problems with Louisiana, because the
individuals in the office who process MLM registrations do not read the
submitted documents. In any event, we responded to Louisiana's letter on August
13 and showed the reviewer where Trilogy's document complied with Louisiana's
jurisdictional requirements. In early September, we received a letter dated
August 25, 1999 from Louisiana's Office of the Attorney General which indicated
that Trilogy's registration was effectives.
Earlier this year, Montana enacted an MLM registration requirement that became
effective October 1, 1999. I have forwarded the registration documents to you,
which I understand Trilogy will complete, execute, and submit to Montana.
Xxxx, if you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to
call me.
Sincerely,
Xxxxx Xxxxxx

(*) No written vacation policy has been developed, however, Trilogy management
has discussed and in some cases communicated to employees the following:
1. Employees would be eligible for vacation after six months of
employment.
2. When employees, other than those listed above, are hired prior to July
1st of a year, that years vacation would be prorated for the number of
months of employment i.e. an employee working 8 months would be
eligible for 3/4th of their vacation time.
3. Recognizing that 1999 is a start up year for Trilogy management's
intent is that when employees are unable to take vacation because of
business necessity that unused vacation will be carried over to 2000.
At the end of 2000 all vacation will have been taken or employees will
be compensated.
4. The vacation eligibility is Officers 4 weeks; Heads of Departments 3
weeks; all other salary employees 2 weeks; hourly employees 1 week.
In addition, as part of the original agreement with Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, the Company
reimburses Xx. Xxxxxxx for $382.36 per month for family health care.

TERMS OF AGREEMENT
I understand and agree to the following:
1. Trilogy's Commission Structure and Policies and Procedures, which I have
carefully read, are incorporated into and made a part of, and are
collectively referred to as the "Agreement," and constitute the entire
agreement between Trilogy International, Inc. and myself. Any promises,
representations, offers, or other communications not expressly set forth in
this Agreement are of no force or effect.
2. I understand that these Terms and Conditions, the Policies and Procedures,
or the Commission Structure may be amended from time to time, and I agree
that any such amendment will apply to me. Notification of amendments shall
be published in official Trilogy materials and sent to all Field
Representatives. The continuation of my Trilogy distributorship or my
acceptance of bonuses or commissions shall constitute my acceptance of any
and all amendments.
3. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and
any other agreement (other than the Policies and Procedures), this
Application/Agreement shall supersede and prevail over any term of any
other agreement as to the matters addressed herein. To the extent of any
conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and the Policies and
Procedures (current form or as subsequently modified), the Policies and
Procedures shall in all instances supersede and prevail over any term of
this Agreement as to the matters addressed herein.
4. No other promises, representations, guarantees or agreements of any kind
shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Trilogy and myself.
5. I am of legal age in the state of my residency.
6. If applying as an entity (partnership, corporation or business trust), I
have the legal right to represent the entity in this Agreement, and I have
attached to this Application a Trilogy Entity Addendum form.
7. Upon acceptance of this Application by Trilogy International, Inc.
("company") at its offices in Stuart, Florida, I will become an Independent
Trilogy Field Representative ("Representative"), with the right to sell
Trilogy products and services, and benefit from the Trilogy Commission
Structure. Trilogy reserves the right to approve or decline any Application
at its discretion.
8. I may not assign any rights or delegate my duties under this Agreement
without the prior written consent of Trilogy. Any attempt to transfer or
assign this Agreement without the express written consent of Trilogy
renders this Agreement voidable at the option of Trilogy and may result in
termination of my Trilogy business.
9. Trilogy is not responsible for any Application and/or funds not delivered
directly to the company. Should an Applicant allow another person to
forward his or her Application/funds to Trilogy, it is at their own risk.
10. No purchase or investment is necessary to become a Trilogy Representative,
other than the purchase of a Trilogy Starter Kit, which is sold at cost and
contains Trilogy's Policies, Commission Structure, and marketing materials
not for resale.
147
11. Becoming a Trilogy Representative does not constitute the sale of a
franchise or security. As a Trilogy Representative I am an independent
contractor, and not an employee, agent, partner, legal representative, or
franchisee of Trilogy.
12. I am not authorized to and will not incur any debt, expense, obligation, or
open a checking account on behalf of, for, or in the name of Trilogy.
13. I shall control the manner and means by which I operate my Trilogy
business, subject to my compliance with this Agreement.
14. I will be solely responsible for paying all expenses incurred by myself,
including but not limited to travel, food, lodging, secretarial, office,
long distance phone and other expenses.
15. I shall not be treated as an employee of trilogy for federal or state tax
purposes. Trilogy is not responsible for withholding, and shall not
withhold or deduct from my bonuses and commissions, FICA, or taxes of any
kind, unless such withholding becomes legally required. I agree to be bound
by sales tax collection agreements between Trilogy, Inc. and all
appropriate taxing jurisdictions, and all related rules and procedures.
16. Neither Trilogy nor any Trilogy Field Representative has made any claims to
me of guaranteed earnings that might result from my efforts as a
Representative, nor will I make such claims to others.
17. This Agreement will be renewed upon the timely payment of an annual renewal
fee, which is due on each 12-month anniversary of the month my Application
is accepted by Trilogy. Failure to renew will result in termination of this
Agreement.
18. Before marketing Trilogy products or services and sponsoring others into
Trilogy, I will familiarize myself with the Policies and Procedures and the
Commission Structure.
19. I will only use materials produced by Trilogy when Trilogy's name or logo
is displayed, and will market Trilogy on the Internet only in conjunction
with Trilogy's corporate site.
20. I will represent the Trilogy Commission Structure fairly and completely,
emphasizing that retail sales are a requirement, and that no fee can be
derived from the mere act of sponsoring.
21. I do not hold, nor will hold, a beneficial interest in any other Field
Representative's Trilogy business, with the exception of my spouse, under
whom I may be directly sponsored on this Application, or whom I may
directly sponsor.
22. Violation of any terms of this Agreement may result in disciplinary action,
including monetary fines, suspension or termination of this Agreement. If
this Agreement is terminated for any reason, voluntarily or involuntarily,
I understand that I will permanently lose my rights as a Field
Representative, including rights to my downline organization, bonuses and
commissions pursuant to the Commission Structure.
23. In order to be eligible to receive bonuses and commissions, I must develop
and service customers. At least 70% of my Personal Volume must be sold to
an end consumer. I will not purchase products solely to qualify for
commissions or bonuses.
148
24. After six months, I must maintain five customers per month in order to
receive commissions or bonuses.
25. I must provide support to Trilogy Field Representatives whom I sponsor, and
who are in my commissionable downline.
26. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, only the invalid portion(s) of the provision shall be
severed and the remaining terms and provisions shall remain in full force
and effect and shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision(s) never comprised a part of the Agreement.
27. Field Representatives must attempt to resolve directly with Trilogy's
corporate office any claim, dispute, or other difference they may have with
the company. If found not to be resolvable to the satisfaction of either
party, all disputes and claims relating to Trilogy, the Representative
Agreement, the Commission Structure or its products and services, the
rights and obligations of an independent Field Representative and Trilogy,
or any other claims or causes of action relating to the performance of
either an independent Representative or Trilogy under the Agreement or the
Trilogy Policies and Procedures shall be settled totally and finally by
arbitration in Stuart, Florida, or such other location as Trilogy
prescribes, in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act and the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association,
except as set forth in the Trilogy Policies and Procedures, or unless the
laws of the state in which I reside expressly prohibit the consensual
jurisdiction and venue provisions of this Agreement, in which case its laws
shall govern. If a Representative files a claim or counterclaim against
Trilogy, a Representative shall do so on an individual basis and not with
any other Representative or as part of a class action. The decision of the
arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties and may, if need be,
be reduced to a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. If any
legal action is brought to enforce the terms and conditions of the
Agreement, the prevailing party (as determined by the arbitrator or the
Court) shall be entitled to its costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) in addition to any other relief to which it may be
entitled. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive any termination or
expiration of the Agreement.
28. In the event that a provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
necessary to make in enforceable, and the balance of the Agreement will
remain in full force and effect.
29. I understand that I have the right to terminate my distributorship at any
time, with or without reason. I agree that such termination must be in
writing.
149

the Company would be offered participation in a 2nd round of financing on
the same terms as the Company's February 22, 1999 Participating Preferred

Common stock, 84, 818 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 84,818
Warrants to purchase Common Stock at $.25 per share.
(13) In connection with the deferred compensation agreements with Trilogy

Schedule 5.7 - Third Party Consents
Commercial Lease between H.N.S. Properties (Landlord) and Trilogy International
(Tenant) requires approval of Landlord for subletting of premises or assignment
of lease. Since merger does not entail either of these actions and the personal
guarantees of Xxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx remain in effect, Trilogy does not
believe approval is required from H.N.S Properties.

Schedule 5.13-Use of Proceeds
Initial $250,000:
As detailed on the attached schedule of Unpaid Bills as of October 31, 1999,
Trilogy has accounts payable in the amount of $142,450.62, a large portion of
which is overdue. It is the intention of the company to bring all accounts
payable current by use of a portion of the $250,000 proceeds of the Merger
closing.
Sales Tax liability in the amount of $2,189.03 would be satisfied.
As detailed on Schedule 2.12, during the period September 3, 1999 and November
15, 1999 the Company borrowed $44,500 from officers, family of officers and
employees on a demand basis. The company is committed to repaying these loans
from the proceeds of the Merger closing.
In addition to deferring 25% of their salaries per agreement, Xxxxx and Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx also deferred the other 75% of their salaries for the two week periods
ending October 29 and November 12, 1999 in order to conserve cash for the
Company until the closing of the Merger. The Company is obligated to pay each of
them $5480.77 (4 weeks @ 75%) from the proceeds of the closing.
The Company is committed to paying the legal fees incurred as a result of the
proposed merger at the time of closing. $7,500 has been allocated on the
attached Use of Proceeds for this purpose, but the fees incurred may exceed this
amount.
At the currently reduced salary structure negotiated in accordance with the
deferred compensation agreements in place between the Company and its officers
and employees, the Company will incur payroll expense in the amount of
approximately $26,500 every two weeks. Payroll is paid in arrears every two
weeks. The payroll for the period ending November 26 and all subsequent two week
periods through December 110, 1999 will be paid and all payroll taxes and
employee withholdings will be deposited as required.
The Company will incur ongoing expenses, as detailed on the Pro Forma Income
statements attached to Schedule 5.15, for which no extended credit terms are
available. These expenses will be paid on a current basis and are not reflected
in the attached listing of unpaid bills as of October 28, 1999. These required
payments include rent and utility expense, telephone, postage and courier, lease
payments, insurance premiums and travel expense among others.
Out of pocket cost of sales including shipping, credit card expense and
commissions will be funded by revenues from sale of product. The company does
not expect to incur any expense for replacement of product inventory during the
next 60 to 90 days. This could change, however, if the future sales exceed
expectations or the sales mix of products varies materially from that projected.
As detailed on the attached Exhibit to Schedule 5.15, the company expects the
gross profit on sales and reduction of inventory through December 31, 1999 to
provide positive cash flow of approximately $31,886. This amount combined with
the $250,000 proceeds of the Merger closing will not be sufficient to fund
projected negative cash flow beyond mid-December 1999. The Company plans to
renew efforts to obtain lease-back financing on some of the equipment currently
owned to provide additional working capital. There is no assurance, however,
that this financing will become available.
Subsequent Investment by AmeriNet
The additional $650,000 to be invested in the Surviving Corporation by AmeriNet
will be used as working capital to fund the negative cash flow resulting from
expenses exceeding revenues as projected on Schedule 5.14 - Projections. In
addition, a portion of the funds provided will be used for acquisition of
additional computer hardware, computer software and office equipment and
furniture needed as the business expands and staffing increases. Use of funds
for purposes other than expenses projected on Schedule 5.14, replacement of
inventory and capital expenditures required in the normal course of business,
must be approved by the Board of Directors of the surviving Corporation.

Schedule 5.14 Trilogy Financial Projections
Trilogy Management has reassessed its business plan and analyzed its limited
operating history to date and as of November 4, 1999 has prepared revised

and ending October 31, 2002. Those projections are attached herewith.
The projections are based upon management's expectations for attainable future
levels of sales and profits. However, the Company has a limited operating
history and there is no assurance that the projections can be met.

making use of, acquiring and/or adding to, confidential information of
special and unique nature and value relating to such matters as
Trilogy's trade secrets, systems, procedures, manuals, confidential
reports, personnel resources, strategic and tactical plans, advisors,
clients, investors and funders; consequently, as material inducement
to the entry into this Agreement by Trilogy, the President hereby
covenants and agrees that the President shall not, at anytime during
or following the terms of the President's employment hereunder,
directly or indirectly, personally use, divulge or disclose, for any
purpose whatsoever, any of such confidential information which has
been obtained by or disclosed to the President as a result of the
President's employment by Trilogy, or Trilogy's affiliates.
(2) In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the President of any
of the provisions of this Section 4.1, Trilogy, in addition to and not
in limitation of any other rights, remedies or damages available to
Trilogy, whether at law or in equity, shall be entitled to a permanent
injunction in order to prevent or to restrain any such breach by the
President, or by the President's partners, agents, representatives,
servants, employers, employees, affiliates and/or any and all persons
directly or indirectly acting for or with the President.
4.2 Special Remedies.
In view of the irreparable harm and damage which would undoubtedly occur to
Trilogy as a result of a breach by the President of the covenants or agreements
contained in this Article Four, and in view of the lack of an adequate remedy at
law to protect Trilogy's interests, the President hereby covenants and agrees
that Trilogy shall have the following additional rights and remedies in the
event of a breach hereof:
180
(a) The President hereby consents to the issuance of a permanent
injunction enjoining the President from any violations of the
covenants set forth in Section 4.1 hereof; and

covenants and agrees to pay over to Trilogy, in the event the
President violates the covenants and agreements contained in Section
4.2 hereof, the greater of:
(i) Any payment or compensation of any kind received by the President
because of such violation before the issuance of such injunction,
or
(ii) The sum of One Thousand ($1,000.00) Dollars per violation, which
sum shall be liquidated damages, and not a penalty, for the
injuries suffered by Trilogy as a result of such violation, the
Parties hereto agreeing that such liquidated damages are not
intended as the exclusive remedy available to Trilogy for any
breach of the covenants and agreements contained in this Article
Four, prior to the issuance of such injunction, the Parties
recognizing that the only adequate remedy to protect Trilogy from
the injury caused by such breaches would be injunctive relief.
4.3 Cumulative Remedies.
The President hereby irrevocably agrees that the remedies described in
Section 4.3 hereof shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any of the
rights or remedies to which Trilogy is or may be entitled to, whether at law or
in equity, under or pursuant to this Agreement.
4.4 Acknowledgment of Reasonableness.
The President hereby represents, warrants and acknowledges that the
President has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Article Four
and, having done so, agrees that the restrictions set forth herein are fair and
reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the interests of
Trilogy, its officers, directors and other employees; consequently, in the event
that any of the above-described restrictions shall be held unenforceable by any
court of competent jurisdiction, the President hereby covenants, agrees and
directs such court to substitute a reasonable judicially enforceable limitation
in place of any limitation deemed unenforceable and, the President hereby
covenants and agrees that if so modified, the covenants contained in this
Article Four shall be as fully enforceable as if they had been set forth herein
directly by the Parties. In determining the nature of this limitation, the
President hereby acknowledges, covenants and agrees that it is the intent of the
Parties that a court adjudicating a dispute arising hereunder recognize that the
Parties desire that this covenant not to compete be imposed and maintained to
the greatest extent possible.
4.5 Unauthorized Acts.
The President hereby covenants and agrees that the President will not do
any act or incur any obligation on behalf of Trilogy of any kind whatsoever,
except as authorized by its board of directors or by its stockholders pursuant
to duly adopted stockholder action.

without the prior written consent of the board of directors or the chief
executive officer of the Company.

exclusively worldwide by the Company and the Executive shall have no property
interest in any of the above tangible or intangible property.
9. Equitable Relief.
(a)The Company and the Executive recognize that the services to be rendered
under this Agreement by the Executive are special, unique and of extraordinary
character, and that in the event of the breach by the Executive of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement or if the Executive, without the prior consent of
the board of directors of the Company, shall leave her employment for any reason
and take any action in violation of Section 6 or Section 7, the Company will be
entitled to institute and prosecute proceedings in any court of competent
jurisdiction referred to in Section 9(b) below, to enjoin the Executive from
breaching the provisions of Section 6 or Section 7. In such action, the
Executive will not allege or argue and the Company will not be required to plead
or prove irreparable harm or lack of an adequate remedy at law and post a bond
or other security. Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall be construed to
prevent the Company from seeking such other remedy in arbitration in case of any
breach of this Agreement by the Executive, as the Company may elect.
(b)Any proceeding or action must be commenced in Florida and venue shall be
in the appropriate court for Xxxxxx County. The Executive and the Company
irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such
courts and agree to take any and all future action necessary to submit to the
jurisdiction of such courts. The Executive and the Company irrevocably waive any
objection that they now have or hereafter irrevocably waive any objection that
they now have or hereafter may have to the laying of venue of any suit, action
or proceeding brought in any such court and further irrevocably waive any claim
that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been
brought in an inconvenient forum. Final judgment against the Executive or the
Company in any such suit shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment, a certified or true copy of which shall
be conclusive evidence of the fact and the amount of any liability of the
Executive or the Company therein described, or by appropriate proceedings under
any applicable treaty or otherwise.
200
10. Assignability.
The rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company,
provided that such successor or assign shall acquire all or substantially all of
the securities or assets and business of the Company. The Executive's
obligations hereunder may not be assigned or alienated and any attempt to do so
by the Executive will be void.
11. Severability.
(a)The Executive expressly agrees that the character, duration and
geographical scope of the non-competition provisions set forth in this Agreement
are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they exist on the date hereof.
Should a decision, however, be made at a later date by a court of competent
jurisdiction that the character, duration or geographical scope of such
provisions is unreasonable, then it is the intention and the agreement of the
Executive and the Company that this Agreement shall be construed by the court in
such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on the Executive's conduct
that are reasonable in the light of the circumstances and as are necessary to
assure to the Company the benefits of this Agreement. If, in any judicial
proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants deemed
included herein because taken together they are more extensive than necessary to
assure to the Company the intended benefits of this Agreement, it is expressly
understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the provisions of this
Agreement that, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate provisions to
be enforced in such proceeding shall be deemed eliminated, for the purposes of
such proceeding, from this Agreement.
(b)If any provision of this Agreement otherwise is deemed to be invalid or
unenforceable or is prohibited by the laws of the state or jurisdiction where it
is to be performed, this Agreement shall be considered divisible as to such
provision and such provision shall be inoperative in such state or jurisdiction
and shall not be part of the consideration moving from either of the parties to
the other. The remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be valid and binding
and of like effect as though such provision were not included.
12. Notices and Addresses.
All notices, offers, acceptance and any other acts under this Agreement
(except payment) shall be in writing, and shall be sufficiently given if
delivered to the addressees in person, by Federal Express or similar receipted
delivery, by facsimile delivery or, if mailed, postage prepaid, by certified

Re:Trilogy International, Inc./AmeriNet Xxxxx.xxx, Inc. Merger Closing
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to AmeriNet Xxxxx.xxx, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("AmeriNet") in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger among AmeriNet,
(the "Acquiror"), Trilogy Acquisition Corporation ("Trilogy Acquisition") and
Trilogy International , Inc. ("Trilogy International") dated November 22, 1999.
We are providing this opinion to you pursuant to Section 6.2(D) of the Merger
Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings given them in the Merger Agreement.
A.Basis of Opinion
In rendering the following options, we have reviewed copies of each of the
following documents:
1. The Merger Agreement, including the disclosure schedules and exhibits
thereto;
2. The Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and the Bylaws of the
Company;
3. Certificates of Good Standing for AmeriNet issued by the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware;
4. Minutes of proceedings of the Boards of Directors of AmeriNet with
respect to the Merger Agreement duly adopted at a meeting of the Board
of Directors of the AmeriNet held on November 12, 1999;
5. The Certificate of Merger dated as of the date hereof, between
AmeriNet and Trilogy
6. The Articles of Merger dated November 2_, 1999, between Trilogy
International and Trilogy Acquisition;
7. Certificate of Counsel dated as of the date of this letter;
204
8. Officers' Certificate delivered to Counsel as of the date of this
letter.
9. Such other agreements and documents and such matters of law as we have
considered necessary or appropriate for the expression of the opinions
contained herein.
The Merger Agreement and the other documents and information referred to in this
Section A are collectively referred to as the "Transaction Documents."
B.Assumptions
This opinion has been prepared and is to be construed in accordance with the
Report on Standards for Florida Opinions dated April 8, 1991, as amended and
supplemented, issued by the Business Law Section of the Florida Bar, 46 The
Business Lawyer, No. 4 (the "Report"). The Report is incorporated by reference
into this opinion letter.
In rendering the following opinions, we have made no assumptions other than
those set forth in the Report, the assumption that the Company complies with all
laws and regulations relating to multi-level marketing, or those in the opinions
below.
C.Opinions
Based solely upon our examination and consideration of the foregoing Transaction
Documents, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the comments, assumptions,
exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth in the Report, we are of
the opinion that:
1. AmeriNet is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. AmeriNet is duly authorized to
conduct business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction
where such qualification is required, and where, to our knowledge, the lack of
such qualification would not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition of AmeriNet and its subsidiaries taken as a whole (a "Material Adverse
Effect"). We do not pass upon qualification in any other state where the
Agreement is void or voidable due to lack of qualification.
2. AmeriNet has the corporate power and authority to carry on the business in
which it is engaged and to own and use the properties owned and used by it.
3. As of the date hereof, AmeriNet has one subsidiary, Xxxxxxx.xxx, Inc., f/k/a
American Internet Technical Center, Inc., a Florida corporation..
4.The authorized capital stock of AmeriNet consists of 20,000,000 shares of
Common Stock and 5,000,000 of Preferred Stock, of which there are outstanding
8,354,126 shares of Common Stock shares of Common Stock and 0 shares of
Preferred Stock. There are 4,368,980 shares of common stock reserved for future
issuances.
5. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly
authorized and are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. Except as set
forth in the Merger Agreement, to our knowledge there are no outstanding
Options, Warrants, or other outstanding or authorized purchase rights,
subscription rights, conversion rights, exchange rights, or other contracts or
commitments that could require AmeriNet to issue, sell, or otherwise cause to
become outstanding any shares of its capital stock. To our knowledge, there are
no outstanding or authorized stock appreciation, phantom stock, profit
participation, or similar rights with respect to AmeriNet.
6. The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of AmeriNet.
AmeriNet has the full power and authority, corporate and otherwise, to execute
and deliver the Merger Agreement and to assume and perform all of its
obligations thereunder. The Merger Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by AmeriNet and constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of
AmeriNet, enforceable against AmeriNet in accordance with its terms. .
205
7. Neither the execution and the delivery of the Merger Agreement, nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, will (i) to our
knowledge, violate any material statute, regulation, rule, injunction, judgment,
order, decree, ruling, charge, or other restriction of any government,
governmental agency, or court to which AmeriNet is subject (ii) violate any
provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of AmeriNet or (iii) to
our knowledge, conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under,
result in the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate,
terminate, modify, or cancel, or require any notice under any agreement,
contract, lease, license, instrument or other arrangement to which AmeriNet is a
party or by which it is bound or to which any of its assets is subject (or
result in the imposition of any security interest upon any of the assets),
except where the violation, conflict, breach, default, acceleration,
termination, modification, cancellation, or failure to give notice would not
have a Material Adverse Effect. Other than in connection with the provisions of
the Florida Business Corporation Act, or as otherwise contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, AmeriNet is not required to give any notice to, make any filing with,
or obtain any authorization, consent, or approval of any government or
governmental agency in order for AmeriNet to consummate the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
8. To our knowledge, no judgment is presently filed of record against the
AmeriNet and there is no litigation, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or
other proceedings by or before any federal, state, county or other local
governmental agency or authority, or by any other person or entity pending, or
that would materially adversely affect AmeriNet's ability to perform its
obligations as set forth in the Transaction Documents and we have no knowledge
of any material basis for any such litigation, proceeding, arbitration, claim,
investigation, inquiry or proceeding that would materially adversely affect
AmeriNet; and
9. To the best of our knowledge after due inquiry, no representation, warranty
or statement by AmeriNet in the Transaction Documents contains any untrue
statement of a material fact, or omits or will omit to state a fact necessary in
order to make such representations, warranties or statements not materially
misleading.
Without our prior written consent, this opinion letter may not be quoted in
whole or in part or otherwise referred to in any document or report and may not
be furnished to any person or entity including any governmental agency.

each jurisdiction where such qualification is required, and where, to our
knowledge, the lack of such qualification would not have a material adverse

participation, or similar rights with respect to Trilogy Acquisition.
6. The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby have been

contemplated thereby were approved by the Company's stockholders at a duly
called and held meeting of the Company's stockholders. Assuming that the
necessary filings have been made under the Florida Business Corporation Act, the
Merger referred to in the Merger Agreement will be consummated and become
effective.

knowledge, violate any material statute, regulation, rule, injunction, judgment,
order, decree, ruling, charge, or other restriction of any government,

B. Assumptions
This opinion has been prepared and is to be construed in accordance with
the Report on Standards for Florida Opinions dated April 8, 1991, as amended and
supplemented, issued by the Business Law Section of the Florida Bar, 46 The
Business Lawyer, No. 4 (the "Report"). The Report is incorporated by reference
into this opinion letter.
In rendering the following opinions, we have made no assumptions other than
those set forth in the Report, the assumption that the Company complies with all
laws and regulations relating to multi-level marketing, or those in the opinions
below.
C. Opinions
Based solely upon our examination and consideration of the foregoing
Transaction Documents, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the comments,
assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth in the Report,
we are of the opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Florida. The Company is
duly authorized to conduct business and is in good standing under the
laws of each jurisdiction where such qualification is required, and
where, to our knowledge, the lack of such qualification would not have
a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company
and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. We do not pass upon
qualification in Louisiana or any other state where the Agreement is
void or voidable due to lack of qualification.
2. The Company has the corporate power and authority to carry on the
business in which it is engaged and to own and use the properties
owned and used by it.
3. As of the date hereof, the Company has no subsidiaries.
4. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 30,000,000
shares of Common Stock of which there are outstanding 5,451,819 shares
of Common Stock.
5. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been
duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.
Except as set forth in the Merger Agreement, to our knowledge there
are no outstanding Options, Warrants, or other outstanding or
authorized purchase rights, subscription rights, conversion rights,
exchange rights, or other contracts or commitments that could require
the Company to issue, sell, or otherwise cause to become outstanding
any shares of its capital stock. To our knowledge, there are no
outstanding or authorized stock appreciation, phantom stock, profit
participation, or similar rights with respect to the Company.
6. The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of
the Company. The Company has the full power and authority, corporate
and otherwise, to execute and deliver the Merger Agreement and to
assume and perform all of its obligations thereunder. The Merger
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and
constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. The
Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were
approved by the written consent of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock. Assuming that the
necessary filings have been made under the Florida Business
Corporation Act, the Merger referred to in the Merger Agreement will
be consummated and become effective.
211
7. Neither the execution and the delivery of the Merger Agreement, nor
the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, will (i) to
our knowledge, violate any material statute, regulation, rule,
injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge, or other
restriction of any government, governmental agency, or court to which
the Company is subject (ii) violate any provision of the Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or (iii) to our knowledge,
conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under,
result in the acceleration of, create in any party the right to
accelerate, terminate, modify, or cancel, or require any notice under
any agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument or other
arrangement to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or
to which any of its assets is subject (or result in the imposition of
any security interest upon any of the assets), except where the
violation, conflict, breach, default, acceleration, termination,
modification, cancellation, or failure to give notice would not have a
Material Adverse Effect. Except that the consent of the lessors is or
may be required for real property and a certain personal property
leases. Other than in connection with the provisions of the Florida
Business Corporation Act, or as otherwise contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, the Company is not required to give any notice to, make any
filing with, or obtain any authorization, consent, or approval of any
government or governmental agency in order for the Company to
consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
8. To our knowledge, no judgment is presently filed of record against the
Company and there is no litigation, except for an action filed on
November 29, 1999 by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, arbitration, investigation,
inquiry or other proceedings by or before any federal, state, county
or other local governmental agency or authority, or by any other
person or entity pending, or that would materially adversely affect
the Company's ability to perform its obligations as set forth in the
Transaction Documents and we have no knowledge of any material basis
for any such litigation, proceeding, arbitration, claim,
investigation, inquiry or proceeding that would materially adversely
affect the Company; and
9. To the best of our knowledge after due inquiry, no representation,
warranty or statement by the Company in the Transaction Documents
contains any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or will
omit to state a fact necessary in order to make such representations,
warranties or statements not materially misleading.
This opinion is furnished solely to the addresses by us as counsel for the
Company, is solely for your benefit and is rendered solely in connection with
the transaction as to which this opinion relates. Without our prior written
consent, this opinion letter may not be quoted in whole or in part or otherwise
referred to in any document or report and may not be furnished to any person or
entity including any governmental agency.
Very truly yours,
