All of the parties hereto are executing and carrying out the provisions of this Agreement in reliance solely on the representations, warranties and covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and not upon any investigation upon which it might have made or any representation, warranty, agreement, promise or information, written or oral, made by the other party or any other person other than as specifically set forth herein. 14.15 FINANCINGS. 14.15.1 Within 5 days following the Closing, Dendo shall have raised at least $500,000 in equity funding (the "Initial Funding"). 14.15.2 Within 90 days following the Closing, Dendo shall have raised at least $3,500,000 in equity funding (the "Final Funding"), which amount shall be in addition to the Initial Funding. 14.15.3 The historical stockholders of Dendo who held 1,656,000 shares of Dendo common stock immediately prior to the Closing (the "Historical Stockholders"), shall own not less than 8% of the outstanding common stock of Dendo on a fully diluted basis upon consummation of the Final Funding (the "Maximum Dilution"). For purposes of this Section 14.15.3, the 8,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Funding and the Final Funding shall be excluded from the calculation determining whether the Maximum Dilution is exceeded. This Section 14.15.3 in no way prohibits the issuance of additional securities of the Licensee subsequent to the Final Funding, provided the Maximum Dilution has not been exceeded as of the date of the closing of the Final Funding. 14.15.4 In the event that either (i) the Initial Funding is not timely completed, (ii) the Final Funding is not timely completed or (iii) the Initial Funding and the Final Funding result in the Historical Stockholders being subject to more than the Maximum Dilution, then Licensee shall give written notice of the same to Warranting Shareholder with a copy to Eric L. Robinson, Esq., Blackburn & Stoll, LC, 257 East 200 South, Suite 800, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111. Upon receipt of such written notice, Warranting Shareholder shall have the option, for fourteen (14) calendar days following receipt of such notice (the "Termination Option Exercise Period") to terminate the arrangements described in this Agreement (a "Termination Option") by sending notice to Licensee and Licensor. The exercise of the Termination Option shall be effective on the date notice is first sent to Licensee and Licensor by Warranting Shareholder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Termination Option is exercised as a result of the Historical Stockholders being subject to more than the Maximum Dilution on account of the Initial Funding and the Final Funding, Licensee shall have the right to allocate that amount of shares of common stock3 of Licensee to the Historical Stockholders necessary to ensure that the Maximum Dilution is not exceeded (the "Maximum Dilution Remedy"). Further, in the event the Licensee allocates that amount of shares of common stock of Licensee to the Historical Stockholders such that the Maximum Dilution is not exceeded, the Termination Option shall not be exercised on account of Section 14.15.4(iii). Finally, with respect to the Termination Option as it relates to Section 14.15.4(i), (ii) and (iii), in the event the Termination Option is not exercised during the Termination Option Exercise Period, the Termination Option shall fully terminate and shall be of no further force or effect. In the event a Termination Option is exercised, (i) any and all rights to the intellectual property licensed to Licensee pursuant to the this Agreement shall be terminated, (ii) all contracts executed by Licensee or to which Licensee is bound that arose on or after the Closing date, relationships, assets, tangible and/or intangible property and any and all other items necessary and/or material to the operations of the business secured by James E. Solomon shall be terminated as they relate to Licensee, (iii) all Shares and Additional Shares shall be cancelled, and (iv) any and all funds received by Licensee in connection with the Initial Funding, the Final Funding and/or any other financing (excluding the Cash Payment) shall be transferred from Licensee to another entity as directed by James E. Solomon. The exercise of the Termination Option, however, will not result in an obligation to return the Cash Payment and the provisions contained in Sections 14.13 and 14.14 shall survive the exercise of the Termination Option. All contracts executed by Licensee and all arrangements entered into by Licensee for a period beginning on the Closing date and ending on the day following the last date on which the Termination Option may be exercised shall contain provisions allowing for termination in the event that the Termination Option is exercised. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the certificates representing the Shares and the Additional Shares shall be subject to the Escrow Agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as EXHIBIT B, and EXHIBIT C (the "Investor Escrow Agreements"). Further, the Four Million Eight Hundred Thousand (4,800,000) shares issued in connection with this Agreement but not held in escrow pursuant to the Investor Escrow Agreements (the "Cambridge & Licensor Shares"), shall be held in escrow pursuant to the escrow agreement attached hereto as EXHIBIT D (the "C&LS Escrow Agreement") pending completion of the Final Funding. 14.15.5 In the event the Termination Option is exercised, Licensor shall (i) make arrangements for all investors to be reimbursed for the amount of their investment in the Initial Funding and/or in the Final Funding, (ii) take such steps as are reasonably required to reinstate the management and board of directors of Licensee as it was constituted immediately prior to the Closing, and (iii) shall secure for Licensee all certificates representing shares issued to all investors in connection with the Initial Funding and/or in the Final Funding. Moreover, if the Termination Option is exercised all securities issued in the Initial Funding and the Final Funding and any other Dendo securities issued after the Closing shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist. - ------------ 3 No fractional shares of common stock shall be issued pursuant to the Maximum Dilution Remedy. Any fractional shares that would otherwise be issued shall be rounded up to whole shares. 14.16 PIGGY BACK REGISTRATION OF THE STOCK. If Licensee proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (other than pursuant to (i) the registration statement filed by Licensee in connection with the Initial Funding and the Final Funding, or (ii) Form S-4 and/or Form S-8, or any other successor form of limited purpose), and the Historical Stockholders are not able to sell the Historical Stockholder Stock (defined below) pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, Licensee will give written notice by registered mail at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of each such registration statement to the Historical Stockholders of its intention to do so. If the Historical Stockholders notify Licensee within twenty (20) business days after receipt of any such notice of its desire to include any of the 1,656,000 shares of common stock held by the Historical Stockholders (the "Historical Stockholder Stock") in such proposed registration statement, Licensee shall afford the Historical Stockholders the opportunity to have any such amount of the Historical Stockholder Stock registered under such registration statement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first written above by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized.

AUGUST 1, 2003 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Method and apparatus for transportation of data over a managed wireless network using unique communication protocol ABSTRACT A wireless, redundant, secure, real-time, network for a proprietary interactive data transfer system having a remote terminal and a host data center, such as an automated teller banking system, is disclosed. Controllers for the remote terminal and the host data center receive the proprietary language messages and packetize and encrypt the messages for sending over the best wireless carrier among the plurality of wireless carriers the controllers are connected to. The wireless control protocol monitors the communications to provide for selection of the most reliable communication carrier for any part of a transmission. Each network segment of the signal path has at least one state-controlled gate which reports the status of that signal path. Real time transmission and acknowledgment of securely packetized messages on wireless communications carriers via an object oriented coding control application provides for reliable datagram transfer independent of the reliability of any one signal path.
