(a) Each of the Stockholders will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless Envision and Acquisition Co. and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (each, an "INDEMNIFIED PERSON" and collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED PERSONS"), from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of actions, losses, costs, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses ("DAMAGES"), arising out of or relating to any misrepresentation or breach of or default or other action or omission in connection with either (i) any of the representations, warranties, and covenants given or made by such Stockholder in this Agreement, or any certificate, document or instrument delivered by or on behalf of such Stockholder pursuant hereto and (ii) any and all actions, suits, claims, or legal, administrative, arbitration, governmental, or other proceedings or investigations against any Indemnified Persons that relate to such Stockholder and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in which the principal event giving rise thereto occurred prior to the Closing or which result from or arise out of any action or inaction prior to the Closing of such Stockholder. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholders shall have no liability with respect to the matters described in paragraph (a) above unless and until the aggregate Damages, losses, deficiencies, liabilities, costs and expenses (collectively, the "LOSSES") incurred or suffered by Envision and/or Acquisition Co. as a result of the acts, events or omissions described in paragraph (a) equal or exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the "THRESHOLD AMOUNT"). At such time as the aggregate Losses equal or exceed the Threshold Amount, Envision and/or Acquisition Co. shall be indemnified to the full extent of Losses (excluding Losses, except Losses with respect to misrepresentations or breaches of warranty of Section 2.4 and 2A.1, counted in determining whether the aggregate Losses equal or 20 21 exceed the Threshold Amount). 9.3 INDEMNIFICATION BY ENVISION AND ACQUISITION CO. Envision and Acquisition Co. will indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholders (also Indemnified Persons), from and against any and all Damages arising out of or relating to any misrepresentation or breach of or default or other action or omission in connection with any of the representations, warranties, and covenants given or made by Envision and Acquisition Co. in this Agreement, or any certificate, document, or instrument delivered by or on behalf of Envision or Acquisition Co. pursuant hereto.

Each Indemnified Person shall give reasonably prompt notice of a claim ("CLAIMS NOTICE") to each indemnifying party, in accordance with the terms of Section 11.3, of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding by any third party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, and shall give the indemnifying parties such information with respect thereto as the indemnifying parties may reasonably request. The giving of such Claims Notice shall not be a condition precedent to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that failure to give reasonably prompt notice shall reduce the Indemnified Person's recovery from the indemnifying parties only by an amount equal to the damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys fees), if any, caused by such delay. Upon receipt of such notice, each indemnifying party may, at its own expense, (i) participate in and (ii) upon notice to each Indemnified Person of such indemnifying party's written agreement that the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 9 for Losses arising out of such third-party claim, suit, action or proceeding, at any time during the course of any such claim, suit, action, or proceeding, assume the defense thereof; provided, that (x) the indemnifying party's counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (y) the indemnifying party shall thereafter consult with the Indemnified Person upon the Indemnified Person's reasonable request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such claim, suit, action or proceeding and (z) the Indemnified Person shall not be required to permit the indemnifying party to assume the defense of any third-party claim which if not first paid, discharged, or otherwise complied with would result in an imminent, material interruption or cessation of the conduct of the Indemnified Party's business or any material part thereof. If the indemnifying party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party. Whether or not the indemnifying party chooses to defend or prosecute any such claim, suit, action, or proceeding, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. 9.5 SETTLEMENT OR COMPROMISE. Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be made by the Indemnified Party or, the indemnifying party, as the case may be, of any third 21 22 party claim, suit, action or proceeding of the kind referred to in this Article 9 shall also be binding upon the indemnifying party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise. The Indemnified Person will give the indemnifying party at least thirty (30) days notice of any proposed settlement or compromise of any claim, suit, action or proceeding it is defending, during which time an indemnifying party may assume the defense of such claim, suit, action or proceeding and if it does so the proposed settlement or compromise may not be made. 9.6 FAILURE OF INDEMNIFYING PARTY TO ACT. In the event that an indemnifying party does not elect to assume the defense of any claim, suit, action, or proceeding, then any failure of the Indemnified Person to defend or to participate in the defense of any such claim, suit, action, or proceeding or to cause the same to be done, shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder. 9.7 PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION. Upon becoming aware of a claim for indemnification hereunder (whether as a result of any third-party claim, suit, action, or proceeding of the kind referred to in Section 9.5, or in connection with any other Losses which the Indemnified Party deems to be within the ambit of this Article 9), the Indemnified Party shall give, in accordance with the terms of Section 11.3, a Claims Notice to the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party does not object to such claim within thirty (30) days of receiving such Claims Notice, the Indemnified Person shall be conclusively entitled to recover the amount of such claim.

[REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK. SIGNATURE PAGE FOLLOWS.] 26 27 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Acquisition Agreement as of the date first written above. STOCKHOLDERS: SUNDOG TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation By: /s/ Alan Rudd ------------------------------------- Alan Rudd, Chief Executive Officer ROCKMOUNTAIN VENTURES FUND, LP, a Delaware limited partnership By: ROCKMOUNTAIN VENTURES, LLC General Partner By: Illegible ------------------------------------- ENVISION: ENVISION DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION a Florida corporation By: /s/ William Patch ------------------------------------- William Patch, President and Chief Operating Officer ACQUISITION CO.: QV ACQUISITION CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation By: /s/ William Patch ------------------------------------- William Patch, President 27 28 Schedule 2.3(i) Material Contracts QV has engaged a public relations firm, SRB Communications, Inc. through February 28, 2000, and has paid that firm approximately $35,000 over the last 6 months. QV expects to extend the contract with SRB for another 6 months, and expects that the resulting contract liability will be approximately $50,000 to $60,000. QV has signed three MOUs with USA.net, United Messaging and Cable & Wireless. QV is currently negotiating a beta license with each of these parties. The scope of these license agreements, and the corresponding restrictions, are not yet known. QV has issued one transferable object code server license to Sundog covering the following products: (1) WEB-BASED INTEROSA CONSUMER PORTAL PRODUCT. Software which applies a policy based email system designed to enforce both sender and recipient rights in web-based email actions. (2) CONSUMER EMAIL MIGRATION SOFTWARE. Software which automates customer migration from web-based email services to the Consumer Portal Product. The Consumer Email Migration software, as provided currently, is provided on an "as is" basis; the patented architecture is complete, and a "proof of concept" model has been developed, but while QV intends to complete the development thereof, there can be no guarantee that QV will be able to complete or deliver a fully functional product. (3) QV has a lease for its office suite on Campus Drive in Colorado Springs has approximately 27 months remaining on its term, at approximately $6,000 per month. In connection with this lease and in lieu of a security deposit, QV posted a $35,000 letter of credit with State Bank & Trust as security. The letter of credit is secured by a $35,000 certificate of deposit which is owned by QV. The lease provides that the landlord must approve any transaction(s) during a twelve (12) month period in which more than 50% of QV's capital stock is transferred or conveyed. The landlord's consent may not be unreasonably withheld. 28 29 Schedule 2.3(iv) Intellectual Property Two assignment agreements executed by the inventors of certain QV technology state that the assignments are made and given to "QV, Inc., a Utah corporation" rather than Qui Vive, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Patent counsel to QV has advised that the inventors executed amended and restated assignment agreements, dated as of the dates of the original assignment agreements, in favor of Qui Vive, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which amended and restated assignments will then be filed with the PTO. 29 30 Schedule 2.3(vii) Employee Benefit Plans The QV 401k plan is available for all full-time employees, with employer matching contributions from some portion of employee contributions. QV matches employee contributions dollar for dollar for the first 3% of gross salary, and $.50 for each employee dollar for the next 2%. The 401k plan is managed by "Best of America" through Nationwide Insurance. The plan provides employees with a selection of 10 mutual funds, from very low risk government bond funds, to higher risk growth stock funds. Employees can access their accounts via the internet, and can adjust fund allocations daily. Health insurance for QV employees is through Humana Corp., which provides medical and dental coverage through a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) system. The company pays the full cost of this benefit, at an average monthly cost per (married-children) employee of $530. See attachments for a summary of medical and dental benefits. QV also provides life insurance ($250k) and disability benefits to full-time employees, at an average monthly cost per employee of $145 (most of that cost is for the disability insurance). Life insurance and disability benefits are provided by Mutual of Omaha. QV has granted, and plans to grant stock options to new and existing employees based on a variety of criteria, including experience (for new hires) and overall performance (for existing employees). QV is in the process of establishing a formal plan for granting incentive options based on performance to existing employees. 30
