     otherwise acquire any of its capital stock; or

                (b)   otherwise engage in any practice, take any action, or
     enter into any transaction of the sort described in Paragraph 5.8 above.

          6.4   Working Capital Requirements.

                (a)   Advancement of Funds.  eCom acknowledges that during the
     period commencing November 1, 1999 and continuing through January 30,
     2000 (the "Advancement Period") Star Dot may not have sufficient funds
     to satisfy the working capital or other financial requirements of Star
     Dot (the "Requirements Deficit").  Accordingly, William Russell Shapiro
     ("W. Shapiro") hereby agrees to advance (on a revolving basis) such
     funds to Star Dot as may be necessary to satisfy the Requirements
     Deficit (an "Advance"), provided that maximum amount required to be
     Advanced by W. Shapiro shall not exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand and
     No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00).  The determination of whether or not Star
     Dot requires an Advance shall be determined by Brian Delaporta
     ("Delaporta"), in the exercise of the reasonable business judgement of
     Delaporta.  In the event that Delaporta determines that an Advance is
     required by Star Dot, Delaporta shall advise W. Shapiro of such
     requirement, and W. Shapiro shall, within five (5) days after a request
     therefore but subject to the monetary limitation provided hereinabove,
     provide an Advance to Star Dot in the amount so requested by Delaporta.

                (b)   Upon expiration of the Advancement Period, W. Shapiro
     shall no longer have the obligation to make any additional Advance.
     Furthermore, on the expiration of the Advancement Period, the then
     balance due from Star Dot to W. Shapiro as a result of any unpaid
     Advance shall be determined (the "Advance Balance") and such Advance
     Balance shall accrue interest thereon at the rate of eight percent (8%)
     per annum from the date of expiration of the Advancement Period until
     the Advance Balance is repaid to W. Shapiro by Star Dot or as otherwise
     provided hereinafter.

                (c)   The Advance Balance and any and all accrued interest
     thereon (collectively, the "Aggregate Advance Balance") shall be due in
     full from Star Dot to W. Shapiro two (2) years from the date of
     expiration of the Advancement Period (the "Due Date").


                                       23
<PAGE>


                (d)   At any time prior to the Due Date and provided that the
     Closing has occurred, W. Shapiro shall have the right, exercisable as
     may be determined by W. Shapiro in the sole and exclusive discretion of
     W. Shapiro, to elect to cancel the then outstanding Aggregate Advance
     Balance, if any, in exchange for a number of the $.00001 par value
     common shares of eCom (the "Payment Shares) determined by multiplying
     the Aggregate Advance Balance by two (2) and dividing the result
     obtained by two (2).  It is specifically understood and agreed that the
     Payment Shares will be restricted securities and will be subject to all
     of the same requirements as set forth hereinafter in Paragraph 7.6.  In
     the event W. Shapiro so elects to accept the Payment Shares in lieu of
     payment of the Advance Balance, W. Shapiro shall notify eCom in writing
     (the "Payment Shares Notice"), and eCom shall, as soon as reasonably
     practical after receipt of the Payment Shares Notice, issue to W.
     Shapiro the Payment Shares, and upon receipt of the Payment Shares from
     eCom, the Aggregate Advance Balance shall be deemed to have been paid in
     full.

                (c)   Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the
     contrary, in the event that the Closing has occurred, then at any time
     after a date which is six (6) months after the  expiration of the
     Advancement Period until the Due Date, eCom shall have the right,
     exercisable as may be determined by eCom in the sole and exclusive
     discretion of eCom, to elect to pay to W. Shapiro the then outstanding
     Aggregate Advance Balance, if any, in readily available U.S. funds (the
     "eCom Payment Election").  In the event eCom so elects the eCom Payment
     Election, eCom shall notify W. Shapiro in writing (the "eCom Payment
     Election Notice"), and within seven (7) days after the date of the
     Payment Election Notice, W. Shapiro shall have the right, exercisable as
     may be determined by W. Shapiro in the sole and exclusive discretion of
     W. Shapiro, to elect to accept the Payment Shares in lieu of payment by
     eCom of the then outstanding Aggregate Advance Balance (the "Alternative
     Payment Shares Notice").  In the event, after receipt of a Payment
     Election Notice, W. Shapiro provides an Alternative Payment Shares
     Notice, eCom shall, as soon as reasonably practical after receipt of the
     Alternative Payment Shares Notice, issue to W. Shapiro the Payment
     Shares, and upon receipt of the Payment Shares from eCom, the Aggregate
     Advance Balance shall be deemed to have been paid in full, otherwise eCom
     shall pay the then outstanding Aggregate Advance Balance to W. Shapiro in
     readily available U.S. funds.

          6.5   Preservation of Business.  The Shareholders will cause each of
Star Dot to keep its business and properties substantially intact, including
its present operations, physical facilities, working conditions, and
relationships with lessors, licensors, suppliers, customers, and employees.

          6.6   Full Access.  Each of the Shareholders will permit, and the
Shareholders will cause Star Dot to permit, representatives of eCom to have
full access at all reasonable times, and in a manner so as not to interfere
with the normal business operations of Star Dot, to all premises, properties,
personnel, books, records (including Tax records), contracts, and documents of
or pertaining to each of Star Dot.

          6.7   Notice of Developments.  The Shareholders will give prompt
written notice to eCom of any material adverse development causing a breach of

                                       24
<PAGE>



any of the representations and warranties in Paragraph 5 above.  Each Party
will give prompt written notice to the others of any material adverse
development causing a breach of any of such Parties' own representations and
warranties in Paragraph4 above.  No disclosure by any Party pursuant to this
Paragraph 6.7, however, shall, unless provided in writing and accepted by
eCom, be deemed to amend or supplement Annex I, Annex II, or the Disclosure
Schedule or to prevent or cure any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or
breach of covenant.

          6.8   Exclusivity.   None of the Shareholders will (and none of the
Shareholders will vote their Star Dot Shares in favor of), nor will the
Shareholders cause or permit Star Dot to do (and the Shareholders will notify
eCom immediately if any Person does any) of the following:

                (a)   solicit, initiate, or encourage the submission of any
     proposal or offer from any Person relating to the acquisition of any
     capital stock or other voting securities, or any substantial portion of
     the assets of Star Dot (including any acquisition structured as a merger,
     consolidation, or share exchange); or

                (b)   participate in any discussions or negotiations
     regarding, furnish any information with respect to, assist or participate
     in, or facilitate in any other manner any effort or attempt by any Person
     to do or seek any of the foregoing.

          6.9   Title Insurance.

                (a)   The Shareholders will cause Star Dot to obtain with
     respect to each parcel of real estate that Star Dot owns, an ALTA Owner's
     Policy of Title Insurance Form B-1992 (or equivalent policy reasonably
     acceptable to eCom if the real property is located in a state in which an
     ALTA Owner's Policy of Title Insurance Form B-1992 is not available)
     issued by a title insurer satisfactory to eCom, in such amount as eCom
     reasonably may determine to be the fair market value of such real
     property (including all improvements located thereon), insuring title to
     such real property to be in Star Dot as of the Closing (subject only to
     the title exceptions described above in Paragraph 5.12 and in Paragraph
     11 of the Disclosure Schedule).

                (b)   Each title insurance policy delivered under Paragraphs
     6.9(a) and 6.9(b) above shall:

                      (1)   insure title to the real property and all recorded
     easements benefitting such real property;

                      (2)   contain an "extended coverage endorsement"
     insuring over the general exceptions contained customarily in such
     policies;

                      (3)   contain an ALTA Zoning Endorsement 3.1 (or
     equivalent);

                      (4)   contain an endorsement insuring that the real
     property described in the title insurance policy is the same real estate
     as shown on the Survey delivered with respect to such property;

                                       25
<PAGE>




                      (5)   contain an endorsement insuring that each street
     adjacent to the real property is a public street and that there is direct
     and unencumbered pedestrian and vehicular access to such street from the
     real property; and

                      (6)   if the real property consists of more than one
     record parcel, contain a "contiguity" endorsement insuring that all of
     the record parcels are contiguous to one another.

          6.10  Surveys.  With respect to each parcel of real property that
Star Dot owns and as to which a title insurance policy is to be procured
pursuant to Paragraph 6.9 above, the Shareholders will cause Star Dot to
procure in preparation for the Closing a current survey of the real property
certified to eCom, prepared by a licensed surveyor and conforming to current
ALTA Minimum Detail Requirements for Land Title Surveys, disclosing the
location of all improvements, easements, party walls, sidewalks, roadways,
utility lines, and other matters shown customarily on such surveys, and
showing access affirmatively to public streets and roads (the "Survey").  The
Survey shall not disclose any survey defect or encroachment from or onto the
real property which has not been cured or insured over prior to the Closing.

     7.   Post-Closing Covenants.  The Parties agree as follows with respect
to the period following the Closing.

          7.1   General.  In case at any time after the Closing any further
action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement,
each of the Parties will take such further action (including the execution and
delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other Party
reasonably may request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting
Party (unless the requesting Party is entitled to indemnification therefor
under Paragraph 9 below).  The Shareholders acknowledge and agree that from
and after the Closing, eCom will be entitled to possession of all documents,
books, records (including Tax records), agreements, and financial data of any
sort relating to Star Dot.

          7.2   Litigation Support.  In the event and for so long as any Party
actively is contesting or defending against any action, suit, proceeding,
hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim, or demand in connection
with:

                (a)   any transaction contemplated under this Agreement; or

                (b)   any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition,
     activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to
     act, or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving Star Dot;

each of the other Parties will cooperate with such other Party or its counsel
in the contest or defense, make available their personnel, and provide such
testimony and access to their books and records as shall be reasonably
necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and

                                       26
<PAGE>




          7.3   Transition.  None of the Shareholders will take any action
that is designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging any lessor,
licensor, customer, supplier, or other business associate of Star Dot from
maintaining the same business relationships with Star Dot after the Closing as
it maintained with Star Dot prior to the Closing.  Each of the Shareholders
will use its reasonable efforts to refer all customer inquiries relating to
the businesses of Star Dot to eCom from and after the Closing.

          7.4   Confidentiality.  Each of the Shareholders will treat and hold
as such all of the Confidential Information, refrain from using any of the
Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement, and deliver
promptly to eCom or destroy, at the request and option of eCom, all tangible
embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in such
Parties' possession.  In the event that any of the Shareholders is requested
or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any
legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or
similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, then such
Shareholder will notify eCom promptly of the request or requirement so that
eCom may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the
provisions of this Paragraph 7.4.  If, in the absence of a protective order or
the receipt of a waiver hereunder, any of the Shareholders is, on the advice
of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal
or else stand liable for contempt, then such Shareholder may disclose the
Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that the
disclosing Shareholder shall use such Shareholder's reasonable best efforts to
obtain, at the reasonable request of eCom, an order or other assurance that
confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential
Information required to be disclosed as eCom shall designate.  The foregoing
provisions shall not apply to any Confidential Information which is generally
available to the public immediately prior to the time of disclosure.

          7.5   Covenant Not to Compete.  For a period of five (5) years from
and after the Closing Date, none of the Shareholders will engage directly or
indirectly in any business that Star Dot conducts as of the Closing Date;
provided, however, that no owner of less than two percent (2%) of the
outstanding stock of any publicly traded corporation shall be deemed to engage
solely by reason thereof in any of its businesses.  If the final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this
Paragraph 7.5 is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court
making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the
power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to
delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable
term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and
that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable
term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified
after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

          7.6   eCom Shares Restricted Securities.  Shareholders specifically
understand that the eCom Shares will be restricted securities.  Accordingly,
the Shareholders understand the following:

                (a)   Restrictions on Transferability.  No transfer or other
     disposition of the eCom Shares to be acquired by Shareholders at the
     Closing shall be valid unless:


                                       27
<PAGE>



                      (1)   there is an effective registration statement under
     the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") covering the eCom Shares; or

                      (2)   the Shareholders' counsel shall have furnished
     eCom with an opinion to the effect that registration is not required
     under the Act.

                (b)   Legend.  There shall be imprinted on the face of each
     certificate representing the eCom Shares acquired by Shareholders the
     following legend:

          THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
     REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT").  THE SECURITIES
     HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED,
     ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF A CURRENT AND
     EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH
     SECURITIES, OR AN OPINION OF THE ISSUER'S COUNSEL TO THE EFFECT THAT
     REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.

                (c)   Investment.  Shareholders hereby represent and warrant
     to the eCom that the eCom Shares are being acquired for investment for
     Shareholders' own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the
     view toward or for resale in connection with any distribution thereof.
     Shareholders understand that the eCom Shares will not have been
     registered under the Act by reason of a specific exemption from the
     registration provisions of the Act which depends upon, among other
     things, the accuracy of the required representations and warranties of
     Shareholders.

                (d)   Rule 144.  Shareholders understand that the eCom Shares
     must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act or
     an exemption from such registration is available, and Shareholders
     acknowledge that eCom shall have no obligation whatsoever to register the
     eCom Shares under that Act.  Shareholders understand the provisions of
     Rule 144 (the "Rule") promulgated under the Act which permit limited
     resale of securities purchased in a private transaction, subject to the
     satisfaction of certain conditions as set forth in the Rule.

          8.1   Conditions to Obligation of eCom.  The obligation of eCom to
consummate the transactions to be performed by it in connection with the
Closing is subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, unless eCom

Shareholders, or any of them, breach, violate or fail to satisfy any covenant,
representation, warranty, term or condition set forth in this Agreement, and
prior to Closing any such breach, violation or failure has been disclosed in
writing to eCom or is specifically acknowledged by eCom to be known, and
notwithstanding such disclosure or actual knowledge Closing occurs, then such
breach, violation, or failure shall be deemed fully, completely and
irrevocably waived by eCom in all respects and the Shareholders shall have no
liability whatsoever to eCom by reason thereof:

     9.   Remedies for Breaches of This Agreement.

          9.1   Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All of the
representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement,
including but not limited to the representations and warranties of the
Shareholders contained in Paragraphs 5.1 through 5.28 shall survive the
Closing hereunder and continue in full force and effect for a period of two
(2) years thereafter.


                                       30

          9.2   Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of eCom.  In the event
any of the Shareholders breaches any of the representations, warranties, and
covenants of such Shareholders contained herein (other than the covenants in
Paragraph 2.1 above and the representations and warranties in Paragraph 4.1
above), and, if there is an applicable survival period pursuant to Paragraph
9.1 above, provided that eCom makes a written claim for indemnification
against any of the Shareholders pursuant to Paragraph 12.12 below within such
survival period, then each of the Shareholders agrees to indemnify eCom from
and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences eCom may suffer through
and after the date of the claim for indemnification (including any Adverse
Consequences eCom may suffer after the end of any applicable survival period)
resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by
the breach; provided, however, that the Shareholders shall not have any
obligation to indemnify eCom from and against any Adverse Consequences
resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by
the breach of any representation or warranty of the Shareholders contained in
this Agreement until eCom has suffered Adverse Consequences by reason of all
such breaches in excess of a $25,000.00 aggregate threshold (at which point
the Shareholders will be obligated to indemnify eCom from and against all such
Adverse Consequences relating back to the first dollar).  The Shareholders'
obligation to indemnify eCom as provided by this paragraph 9.2 is expressly
conditioned upon delivery by eCom to the Shareholders of a written claim for
indemnification for each claim for which indemnification is being sought
within a reasonable time after eCom becomes aware of the cause for any such
claim for indemnification.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other
provision in this Agreement, in no event shall the Shareholders, in the
aggregate, have any liability, or be obligated pursuant to this paragraph 9.2
or otherwise under this Agreement, for any amount which is in excess of the
fair market value, determined on the date on which a claim for indemnification
is filed in accordance with this paragraph 9.2, of the eCom Shares received by
such Shareholders hereunder.

          9.3   Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of the Shareholders.
In the event eCom breaches any of its representations, warranties, and
covenants contained herein, and, if there is an applicable survival period
pursuant to Paragraph 9.1 above, provided that any of the Shareholders makes a
written claim for indemnification against eCom pursuant to Paragraph 12.12
below within such survival period, then eCom agrees to indemnify each of the
Shareholders from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the
Shareholder may suffer through and after the date of the claim for
indemnification (including any Adverse Consequences the Shareholder may suffer
after the end of any applicable survival period) resulting from, arising out
of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the breach (or the alleged
breach).  eCom's obligation to indemnify the Shareholders as provided by this
paragraph 9.3 is expressly conditioned upon delivery by Shareholders to eCom
of a written claim for indemnification for each claim for which
indemnification is being sought within a reasonable time after Shareholders
become aware of the cause for any such claim for indemnification.

          9.4   Matters Involving Third Parties.

                (a)   If any third party shall notify any Party (the
     "Indemnified Party") with respect to any matter (a "Third Party Claim")
     which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other
     Party (the "Indemnifying Party") under this Paragraph 9, then the


                                       31
<PAGE>



     Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof
     in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the
     Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the
     Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely
     to the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced.

                (b)   Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the
     Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its
     choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (A)
     the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within
     fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the
     Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the
     Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Adverse
     Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out
     of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim,
     (B) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence
     reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying
     Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party
     Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (C) the
     Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an
     injunction or other equitable relief, (D) settlement of, or an adverse
     judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith
     judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential
     custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business
     interests of the Indemnified Party, and (E) the Indemnifying Party
     conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.

                (c)   So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the
     defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Paragraph 9.4(b)
     above:

                      (1)   the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-
     counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of
     the Third Party Claim;

                      (2)   the Indemnified Party will not consent to the
     entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the
     Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying
     Party (not to be withheld unreasonably); and

                      (3)   the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the
     entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the
     Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
     Party (not to be withheld unreasonably).

                (d)   In the event any of the conditions in Paragraph 9.4(b)
     above is or becomes unsatisfied, however:

                      (1)   the Indemnified Party may defend against, and
     consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with
     respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem
     appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain
     any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith);


                                       32
<PAGE>



                      (2)   the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the
     Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending
     against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
     expenses); and

                      (3)   the Indemnifying Parties will remain responsible
     for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting
     from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the
     Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Paragraph 9.

          9.5  Other Indemnification Provisions. The foregoing indemnification
provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory,
equitable, or common law remedy any Party may have for breach of
representation, warranty, or covenant. Each of the Shareholders hereby agrees
that such Shareholder will not make any claim for indemnification against Star
Dot by reason of the fact that such Shareholder was a director, officer,
employee, or agent of Star Dot or was serving at the request of any such
entity as a partner, trustee, director, officer, employee, or agent of another
entity (whether such claim is for judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs,
amounts paid in settlement, losses, expenses, or otherwise and whether such
claim is pursuant to any statute, charter document, bylaw, agreement, or
otherwise) with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or
demand brought by eCom against such Shareholder (whether such action, suit,
proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand is pursuant to this Agreement,
applicable law, or otherwise).

     10.  Termination.

          10.1  Termination of Agreement. Certain of the Parties may terminate

                (a)   eCom and the Requisite Shareholders may terminate this
     Agreement by mutual written consent at any time prior to the Closing;

                (b)   eCom may terminate this Agreement prior to the
     expiration of the Due Diligence Review Period by giving written notice to
     the Requisite Shareholders as provided in Paragraph 3.2 if eCom is not
     satisfied, in the exercise of the sole and absolute discretion of eCom,
     with the results of the Due Diligence Review;

                (c)   eCom may terminate this Agreement by giving written
     notice to the Requisite Shareholders at any time prior to the Closing (A)
     in the event any of the Shareholders has breached any material
     representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any
     material respect, eCom has notified the Requisite Shareholders of the
     breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of ten
     (10) days after the notice of breach or (B) if the Closing shall not have
     occurred on or before January 31, 2000, by reason of the failure of any
     condition precedent under Paragraph 8.1 hereof (unless the failure
     results primarily from eCom itself breaching any representation,
     warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement); and

                (d)   the Requisite Shareholders may terminate this Agreement
     by giving written notice to eCom at any time prior to the Closing:


                                       33
<PAGE>



                      (1)   in the event eCom has breached any material
     representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any
     material respect, any of the Shareholders has notified eCom of the
     breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of ten
     (10) days after the notice of breach; or

                      (2)   if the Closing shall not have occurred on or
     before January 31, 2000, by reason of the failure of any condition
     precedent under Paragraph 8.2 hereof (unless the failure results
     primarily from any of the Shareholders themselves breaching any
     representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement).

          10.2  Effect of Termination.  If any Party terminates this Agreement
pursuant to Paragraph 10.1 above, all rights and obligations of the Parties
hereunder shall immediately terminate without any Liability of any Party to
any other Party (except for any Liability of any Party then in breach).

     11.  Registration Rights.

          11.1  Piggy Back Registration.  For a period of two (2) years after
the date of issuance of the eCom Shares to Shareholders, if eCom proposes to
file a registration statement under the Act with respect to any security (the
"Panaia Shares To Be Registered") owned by David J. Panaia ("Panaia"), then
the Issuer shall give written notice of such proposed filing to Shareholders
at least twenty (20) days before the anticipated filing date, and such notice
shall offer each Shareholder the opportunity to register a number of the eCom
Shares held by such Shareholder (the "Shareholder Registerable Shares") in an
amount determined as follows:

                (a)   Determine the percentage (the "Registerable Percentage")
     that the Panaia Shares To Be Registered bears to the total number of
     shares of eCom owned by Panaia.

                (b)   Multiply the Registerable Percentage by the total number
     of eCom Shares owned by a Shareholder to determine the Shareholder
     Registerable Shares.

          11.2  Termination of Piggy Back Registration.  eCom shall have the
right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by eCom Issuer
pursuant to paragraph 11.1 prior to the effective date of such registration
statement.

     12.  Miscellaneous.

          12.1  Amendments and Waivers.  No amendment of any provision of this
Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by
eCom and the Requisite Shareholders.  No waiver by any Party of any default,
misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether
intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent
default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or
affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such
occurrence.

          12.2  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more

          12.3  Construction.  The Parties have participated jointly in the
negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or
question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed
as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof
shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of
any of the provisions of this Agreement.  Any reference to any federal, state,
local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise.
The word "including" shall mean including without limitation.  The Parties
intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall
have independent significance.  If any Party has breached any representation,
warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there
exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same
subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the
Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the
Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

          12.4  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including the documents
referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties and
supersedes any prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or
among the Parties, written or oral, to the extent they related in any way to
the subject matter hereof.

          12.5  Expenses.  Each of the Parties and Star Dot will bear their
own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.  The
Shareholders agree that Star Dot has not borne or will bear any of the
Shareholders' costs and expenses (including any of their legal fees and
expenses) in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby.

          12.6  Facsimile Execution.  Facsimile signatures on counterparts of
this Agreement are hereby authorized and shall be acknowledged as if such
facsimile signatures were an original execution, and this Agreement shall be
deemed as executed upon transmission of an executed facsimile.

construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Florida without
giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of
the State of Florida or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the
application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida.

          12.8  Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are
inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement.

Exhibits, Annexes, and Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated
herein by reference and made a part hereof.

          12.10 Nature of Certain Obligations.
