       1.6       Conversion of Globalnet Stock. At the Effective Time of the Merger, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of
the holders of the Globalnet Stock set forth in Schedule 1.6, the issued and outstanding Globalnet Stock shall be converted into the right to receive 250,000 shares of Host’s restricted Common Stock.  Such shares of Host Common Stock will be
“restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold or transferred unless there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering such
securities or an exemption from such registration is available.  For the avoidance of doubt it is acknowledged that no restrictions shall be placed on the shares to be issued under this section, except for any restrictions placed on such shares pursuant to Rule
144.





       1.7      Effect of Merger on HAC Capital Stock.  At the Effective Time of the Merger without any action on the part of the holders of HAC
Stock, each share of HAC Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.





       1.8       Delivery of Certificates.  At the Effective Time of the Merger, the Globalnet Stock shall be canceled and the Globalnet Shareholders
shall receive instruments evidencing the ownership of the securities of Host as set forth on Schedule 1.6.  Each Globalnet Shareholder shall deliver to Host at the Closing the Certificates representing the shares of Globalnet Stock owned by the Globalnet
Shareholder (the “Globalnet Certificates”), duly endorsed in blank by the Globalnet Shareholder, or accompanied by blank stock powers.  Each Globalnet Shareholder agrees promptly to cure any deficiencies with respect to the endorsement of his
Globalnet Certificates or other documents of conveyance with respect to the Globalnet Stock or with respect to the stock powers accompanying any Globalnet Stock.  Until surrender as contemplated by this Section 1.8, each Globalnet Certificate shall be deemed at
any time after the Effective Time of the Merger to represent only the Host Stock received by the shareholders of Globalnet, as set forth in Schedule 1.6, and each holder of a Globalnet Certificate shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Globalnet
Stock.





       1.9      Additional Shares.  Commencing on the date of execution of this Agreement and continuing until March 31, 2007, the Globalnet
Shareholders, as a group, shall be entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, one (1) additional share of Host’s Common Stock for every $2.00 of Earn-Out Income which term is defined in Section 1.10 (the “Additional Shares”).  Any shares earned
pursuant to this Section 1.9 shall be issued to the Globalnet Shareholders as set forth in Section 1.10(b), shall be subject to proportional adjustments in the event of a reverse stock split, dividend or recapitalization and shall be deemed as part of the
consideration paid by Host in connection with the Merger (the “Earnout”).  The Additional Shares will be “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold or
transferred unless or until there is a effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering such securities or an exemption from such registration is available.  For the avoidance of doubt it is acknowledged that no
restrictions shall be placed on the shares to be issued under this section, except for any restrictions placed on such shares pursuant to Rule 144.  Upon the request of a majority of the Globalnet Shareholders, Host will undertake to prepare and file a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-3 registering any Additional Shares earned and issued during any six (6) month period, as defined in Section 1.10 of this Agreement.  Host and Globalnet agree that the cost of preparing
and filing any such registration statement, including legal, accounting and filing fees, will be included in Globalnet’s General Allocable Overhead, as defined in Section 1.10(a) of this Agreement, for any given six (6) month period.





       1.10      Earn-Out Income.





	
       

	
       (a)       Earn-Out Income.   “Earn-Out Income” is defined as the sum of Surviving Corporation’s:  (i) total
revenues minus revenues earned from license agreements that are included in subsection (ii) below minus operating expenses plus interest expense plus income tax expense plus depreciation and amortization expenses (each item of which shall be calculated in accordance
with GAAP), and (ii) total cash received in connection with license agreements (including, without limitation, cash received in connection with license agreements (including, without limitation, cash received for the grant of exclusivity) for each six (6) month
period ending on June 30 or December 31 of a particular fiscal year, commencing on December 31, 2003 if the Closing Date shall have occurred on or prior to that date (referred to herein as a “six (6) month period,” it being acknowledged that both the
initial period ending December 31, 2003 and the final period ending March 31, 2007 will consist of lesser actual time periods.  If the Closing Date shall not have occurred on or prior to December 31, 2003, the initial period will commence on the date of the
execution of this Agreement and end on June 30, 2004).  Earn-Out Income will also include additional deductions for a six (6) month (or for such longer or lesser periods as indicated above) general corporate overhead allocation from Host and its subsidiaries for
those expense items in the estimated amounts or percentages set forth in Schedule 1.10(a) (the “General Allocable Overhead”), and all cash payments made by Host to or for the benefit of Globalnet Shareholders pursuant to the terms of the Non-Competition,
Non-Solicitation And Employment Agreements between Host and certain of the Globalnet Shareholders.


	
       

	
       


	
       

	
       (b)       Delivery of Earn-Out Income Financial Statements.  Within ninety (90) days following the completion of any six (6) month period
ending June 30 and within forty-five (45) days following the completion of any six (6) month period ending December 31, Host shall have prepared and delivered to Surviving Corporation the income statements for that period (the “Earn-Out Income Financial
Statements”) which statements shall have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except for cash items as set forth in Section 1.10(a)), along with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of Earn-Out Income for the applicable six (6) month
period, including identification of all items included in the General Allocable Overhead and all necessary back up calculations.  Host shall provide to Globalnet Shareholders information which the Globalnet Shareholders shall reasonably request in connection
with the preparation of the Earn-Out Income Financial Statements.  Host’s calculation of Earn-Out Income shall be used in determining the amounts to be paid under Section 1.9 unless Globalnet Shareholders have given Host notice (the “Earn-Out Income
Dispute Notice”) that the Globalnet Shareholders dispute Host’s calculation of Earn-Out Income.  The Earn-Out Income Dispute Notice shall be given by Globalnet Shareholders within thirty (30) days after the Earn-Out Income Financial Statements have
been given to Globalnet Shareholders and shall set forth in reasonable detail the exclusions or calculations being disputed in good faith.  In the event an Earn-Out Income Dispute Notice is timely given to Host, Host and the Globalnet Shareholders shall have
fifteen (15) days to resolve the dispute and if not resolved, the dispute shall be submitted to a mutually acceptable independent certified public accountant firm (the “CPA’s”) (other than auditors used by Host or Globalnet within the past three (3)
years, or their successors) which shall be instructed to arbitrate such disputed item(s) and determine Earn-Out Income within thirty (30) days.  The resolution of disputes by the CPA’s shall be set forth in writing (the “CPA’s
Findings”).  The CPA’s Findings shall be conclusive and binding upon and non-appealable by the parties. The determination of Earn-Out Income in the CPA’s Findings shall be final as of the date of the CPA’s Findings, and may be entered as
a final judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The costs of the CPA’s shall be initially paid for by Host and upon completion of the findings shall be borne by the losing party, which shall be the Globalnet Shareholders if the CPA determines
that the number of Additional Shares to be issued is the same number as set forth on the notice given by Host, and which shall be Host if the CPA determines that the number of Additional Shares to be issued is not the same number as set forth on the notice given by
Host.


	
       

	
       


	
       

	
       (c)       Payment of Amounts Not in Dispute.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if an Earn-Out Income Dispute
Notice has been delivered in accordance with Section 1.10(b) of this Agreement, and the dispute has not been resolved by the Payment Due Date (as defined below), then Host shall (i) to the extent subject to calculation, pay the amount of the Earnout not in dispute in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) pay, if required to do so by the CPA’s any disputed amount of the Earnout on or before ten (10) days after the date of the CPA’s Findings.


	
       

	
       


	
       

	
       (d)       Time and Manner of Payment.  All Additional Shares shall be earned on June 30 or December 31, as applicable and shall be
issued within ninety (90) days after a given six (6) month period ending June 30 or within forty-five (45) days after a given six (6) month period ending December 31 (the “Payment Due Date”) to each Globalnet Shareholder in accordance with their
respective percentage interests in Globalnet as of the Closing Date (as defined below).  The Payment Due Date for the final period, which will commence on January 1, 2007 and end on March 31, 2007, will be within forty-five (45) days after March 31,

Globalnet has provided Host a true and complete copy of each written Material Contract and a true and complete summary of each oral Material Contract, in each case including all amendments or other modifications thereto. 
Except as will be set forth on Schedule 3.11 to the Globalnet Disclosure Letter, each Material Contract is a valid and binding obligation of, and enforceable in accordance with its terms against, Globalnet, and the other parties thereto, and is in full force and
effect, subject only to bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.  Except as will be set forth on Schedule 3.11 of the Globalnet Disclosure Letter, Globalnet has performed all obligations required to be
performed by it as of the date hereof and will have performed all obligations required to be performed by it as of the Closing Date under each Material Contract and neither Globalnet, nor any other party to any Material Contract is in breach or default thereunder,
and there exists no condition which would, with or without the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, constitute a material breach or default thereunder.  Globalnet has not been notified that any party to any Material Contract intends to cancel,
terminate, not renew, or exercise an option under any Material Contract, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise.





       3.12        Real Property.  Schedule 3.12 to the Globalnet Disclosure Letter will set forth a correct and complete list of all real
property leases entered into by Globalnet (the “Leased Real Property”).  Except as lessee of Leased Real Property, Globalnet is not a lessee under or otherwise a party to any lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement, whether written or
oral, pursuant to which another person or entity has granted to Globalnet the right to use or occupy all or any portion of any real property.  Globalnet does not have an ownership interest in any real property.





       Globalnet has, assuming good title in the landlord, a valid leasehold interest in the Leased Real Property free and clear of all liens, assessments or restrictions (including, without
limitation, inchoate liens arising out of the provision of labor, services or materials to any such Leased Real Property) other than (a) mortgages shown on the Globalnet Financial Statements as securing specified liabilities or obligations, with respect to which no
default (or event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) exists, (b) liens for current taxes not yet due, and (c) minor imperfections of title, such as utility and access easements that do not impair the intended use of the
Leased Real Property, none of which is substantial in amount, materially detracts from the value or impairs the use of the property subject thereto, or impairs the operations of Globalnet, and zoning laws and other land use restrictions or restrictive covenants that
do not materially impair the present use of the property subject thereto.  The Leased Real Property constitutes all the real properties reflected on the Globalnet Financial Statements or used or occupied by Globalnet in connection with its business or
otherwise.





       With respect to the Leased Real Property, except as will be reflected on Schedule 3.12 to the Globalnet Disclosure Letter:





	
       

	
       (a)       Globalnet is in exclusive possession thereof and to the knowledge of Globalnet no easements, licenses or rights are necessary to conduct
business thereon in addition to those which exist as of the date hereof;


	
       

	
       


	
       

	
       (b)       To the knowledge of Globalnet, no portion thereof is subject to any pending condemnation proceeding or proceeding by any public or
quasi-public authority materially adverse to the Leased Real Property and to the knowledge of Globalnet there is no threatened condemnation or proceeding with respect thereto;


	
       

	
       


	
       

	
       (c)       To the knowledge of Globalnet, the Leased Real Property is not in violation of any health, safety, building, or environmental ordinances,
laws, codes or regulations; nor has any notice of any claimed violation of any such ordinances, laws, codes or regulations been served on Globalnet;


	
       

	
       


	
       

	
       (d)       The Leased Real Property is supplied with utilities and other third-party services, such as water, sewer, electricity, gas, roads, rail
service and garbage collection, necessary for the current operation of the business and such Leased Real Property is maintained in all material respects in accordance with all laws applicable to Globalnet or the Leased Real Property;


	
       

	
       


	
       

	
       (e)       Globalnet is not a party to any written or oral agreement or undertaking with owners or users of properties adjacent to the Leased Real
Property relating to the use, operation or maintenance of such facility or any adjacent real property;


	
       

	
       


	
       

	
       (f)       Globalnet is not a party to any lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement, whether written or oral, pursuant to which
Globalnet has granted to any party or parties the right to use or occupy all or any portion of the Leased Real Property;

Disclosure Letter, Globalnet does not sponsor, maintain or contribute to any plan program, fund or arrangement that constitutes an “employee pension benefit plan,” nor has Globalnet any obligation to contribute to or accrue or pay any benefits under any

the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or any non-qualified deferred compensation arrangement). For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “employee pension benefit plan” shall have the same meaning as is
given that term in Section 3(2) of ERISA.  Globalnet has not sponsored, maintained or contributed to any employee pension benefit plan other than the plans to be set forth on Schedule 3.15 to the Globalnet Disclosure Letter, nor is Globalnet required to

       (a)       By mutual consent of all of the parties hereto;


	
       

	
       


	
       

	
       (b)       By Globalnet, on the one hand, or by Host and HAC on the other hand, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to take place at
the Closing shall not have been consummated by December 31, 2003, which date may be continued for up to an additional one hundred eighty (180) days to permit clearance by the SEC of the Proxy Statement, unless the failure of such transactions to be consummated is due
to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent required to be performed by it prior to or on the Closing Date;


	
       

	
       


	
       

	
       (c)       By Globalnet, on the one hand, or by Host and HAC, on the other hand, if a material breach of the representations or a material breach or
default shall be made by the other party in the observance or in the due and timely performance of any of the covenants or agreements contained herein, and the curing of such default shall not have been made on or before the Closing Date or by Globalnet, if the
conditions set forth in Section 9 hereof have not been satisfied or waived (with the exception of the conditions set forth in Sections 9.3, 9.5, 9.7 and 9.9) as of the Closing Date, or by Host, if the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof have not been satisfied
or waived (with the exception of the conditions set forth in Sections 8.3, 8.6, 8.9 and 8.12) as of the Closing Date;


	
       

	
       


	
       

	
       (d)       By Host and HAC if the Globalnet Disclosure Letter shall not have been completed and delivered to Host and HAC on or before 45 days after
the date first above written, or if the Globalnet Disclosure Letter contains information or omissions which causes Host and HAC to determine it would be inadvisable to proceed with the transactions hereunder, and Host and HAC has provided written notification to
Globalnet on or before 10 days after receipt of the Globalnet Disclosure Letter that the Agreement is terminated;


	
       

	
       


	
       

	
       (e)       By Globalnet if Webster Bank conditions its consent, as contemplated by Sections 8.12 and 9.9 of this Agreement, upon the taking of certain
actions by Globalnet or the Globalnet Shareholders that would result in obligations of Globalnet or the Globalnet Shareholders that are materially different than the obligations of Host or its subsidiaries pursuant to the Loan Agreement.











       11.2      Liabilities in Event of Termination.  Termination of this Agreement will in no way limit any obligation or liability of any party
based on or arising from a breach or default by such party with respect to any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or in the Schedules delivered by such party, including, but not limited to, legal and audit costs
and out of pocket expenses.





       11.3      Termination Fee.





	
       

	
       (a)       In the event that this Agreement is terminated:


	
       

	
       


	
       

	
       

	
       (i)       by Host pursuant to Section 11.1(c);


	
       

	
       

	
       


	
       

	
       

	
       (ii)      by Host or Globalnet pursuant to Section 11.1(c) as a result of any breach of this Agreement on the part of Globalnet and an overture from a
bona fide person or entity shall have been communicated to the Globalnet Board of Directors at or before the time of such breach to engage in an agreement, plan or transaction to acquire or purchase all or a substantial portion of the assets of or a substantial
equity interest in, or to effect any recapitalization, liquidation or dissolution involving or a business combination or other similar transaction with, Globalnet other than with Host; or


	
       

	
       

	
       


	
       

	
       

	
       (iii)     by Globalnet pursuant to Section 11.1(c);


	


        

	


 then (A) Globalnet, in the case of termination pursuant to Section 11.3(a)(i), or (B) Host, in the case of termination pursuant to Section 11.3(a)(iii), shall within two business days after the occurrence of such termination, pay to the other party as compensation
for the Merger not becoming effective a termination fee equal to $100,000 (the “Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds.  In the event the Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.3(ii), then Globalnet shall within two
(2) business days after the occurrence of such termination, pay to Host an adjusted Termination Fee of $500,000.  The Termination Fee shall be in addition to any other rights that Host may have under this Agreement and is not intended to constitute liquidated
damages or a penalty, and shall be payable without regard to any expenses to be paid pursuant to the Agreement.


	
       

	
       


	
       

	
       (b)       Each party acknowledges that the agreements contained in Section 11.3(a) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and that, without these agreements, the other party would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if either party fails promptly to pay any amount due pursuant to Section 11.3(a) and, in order to obtain such payment, the other party commences a suit
which results in a judgment for all or a substantial portion of the payment set forth in Section 11.3(a), the losing party shall pay to the winning party its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with
interest on the Termination Fee from the date that payment was required to be made until the date payment is made at the prime rate of eight percent (8%), in effect on the date payment was required to be made plus two percentage points.

       13.9       Enforcement.  The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were

       13.10      Exercise of Rights and Remedies.  Except as otherwise provided herein, no delay of or omission in the exercise of any right, power or
remedy accruing to any party as a result of any breach or default by any other party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of or acquiescence in any such breach or default, or of any similar breach or
default occurring later; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default occurring before or after that waiver.





       13.11      Time.  Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement.





       13.12      Reformation and Severability.  In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall, to the
extent possible, be modified in such manner as to be valid, legal and enforceable but so as to most nearly retain the intent of the parties, and if such modification is not possible, such provision shall be severed from this Agreement, and in either case the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.





       13.13      Remedies Cumulative.  No right, remedy or election given by any term of this Agreement shall be deemed exclusive, but each shall be
cumulative with all other rights, remedies and elections available at law or in equity.
