              (a)

            	
              Aequus
      shall notify WGAT in writing of any Mandated Change.  Within
      thirty (30) days after receiving such notice, WGAT shall provide Aequus
      with a proposed statement of work setting forth in reasonable detail the
      work required to be done to implement the Mandated Change, a timetable for
      performing such work, the deliverables to result from such work and the
      costs related thereto (a “Mandated SOW
      Proposal”).  Upon delivery to Aequus of a Mandated SOW
      Proposal, the Parties shall promptly commence diligent and good faith
      negotiations to agree on the terms and conditions of the Mandated SOW
      Proposal, including, but not limited to, the costs of engaging a third
      party subcontractor by WGAT to perform services in connection with such
      Mandated SOW Proposal (if necessary).  If the Parties cannot
      agree on the terms and conditions of the Mandated SOW Proposal within
      seven (7) days following delivery of WGAT’s initial written proposal, then
      the Parties shall, upon demand by either Party, submit the Mandated SOW
      Proposal for determination by an arbitrator in accordance with the
      following:

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (i)

            	
              Each
      Party shall submit its most recent proposal (in a form suitable for
      execution as a statement of work) and any other materials deemed relevant
      by such Party, to the American Arbitration Association or such other
      independent expert or organization with expertise in the design and
      development of systems for delivery of video phone services as the Parties
      may agree, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
      delayed.  If such expert determines that WGAT’s financial terms
      are commercially reasonable, then Aequus shall be obligated to accept the
      financial terms of the last proposal made by WGAT.  If such
      expert determines that WGAT’s terms are not commercially reasonable, and
      that Aequus’s terms are commercially reasonable, then WGAT shall be
      obligated to accept the financial terms of the last proposal made by
      Aequus.  If such expert determines that WGAT’s and Aequus’s
      terms are not commercially reasonable, then such expert shall determine
      commercially reasonable terms that are between the terms proposed by
      Aequus and the terms proposed by WGAT.  The decision of the
      expert shall be final and binding on the Parties, and the proposal
      determined to be commercially reasonable shall be immediately executed and
      delivered by the Parties and each Party shall become bound
      thereby.

    EXHIBIT C OF
LETTER

     

    1.            
Definitions.  The
following terms are defined as follows:

    

    (a)           “Confidential
Information” means (i) any and all information concerning either Party or
its affiliates which has been or is, in the future, furnished by such Party (the
“Provider”) or
any of its Representatives (as defined below) to the other Party (the “Recipient”) or any of
its Representatives, orally or in writing (whatever the form or storage medium),
including, but not limited to, information concerning its subsidiaries,
affiliates, businesses, operations, markets, products, product specifications,
designs, documentation, technical data, trade secrets, processes, computer
programs (in object or source code form), know-how, research and development,
financial condition, results of operations, projections, strategies, marketing
information, contracts, customers, employees and prospects, and (ii) any and all
notes, analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by the
Recipient or any of its Representatives containing or reflecting any
Confidential Information described in clause (i). The term “Confidential
Information” does not include information which the Recipient demonstrates: (A)
was or becomes generally available to or known by the public (other than as a
result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by the Recipient or any of its
Representatives who received such information pursuant hereto); or (B) was or
becomes available to the Recipient or any of its Representatives on a
non-confidential basis, prior to its disclosure to the Recipient by the Provider
or its Representatives; provided that, the source of
such information is not otherwise known by the Recipient after reasonable
investigation to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Provider or
any of its Representatives, or to be under a contractual, legal, fiduciary or
other obligation to the Provider or any of its Representatives not to transmit
the information to the Recipient.

    

     (b)           The
term “Representative”
means, with respect to either Party, such Party’s affiliates and its and their
officers, directors, stockholders, members, partners, employees, financial and
other advisors, attorneys, accountants, consultants and agents.

    

    2.            
Use of Confidential
Information.

    

    (a)           Any
Confidential Information provided to the Recipient hereunder will be used by
such Party and its Representatives solely for the purpose of performing their
responsibilities under this Letter and the New Reseller Agreement and shall not
be used by such Party for any other purpose, including, but not limited to, use
in any way detrimental to the other Party. The Recipient shall maintain the
strict confidentiality of any Confidential Information provided to it or any of
its Representatives by the other Party or any of its Representatives and shall
not disclose any part of it to any other person; provided that, (i) it may
disclose any such Confidential Information or portions thereof to its
Representatives subject at all times to Section 3 of this Exhibit C, and (ii) it
may disclose any such Confidential Information in accordance with Section 4 of
this Exhibit C.  The Recipient shall treat the Confidential
Information with the same degree of care as it would its own, but in no event
with less than reasonable care.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (b)           The
Provider shall retain the entire right, interest and title to its Confidential
Information.  No license under any patent, copyright, trademark, other
intellectual property right or any application therefor, is hereby granted or
implied by the provision of Confidential Information to the
Recipient.  The Recipient shall not alter or obliterate any trademark
or any other proprietary mark or notice thereof of the Provider on any copy of
the Confidential Information, and shall reproduce any such mark or notice on all
copies of the Confidential Information.  In the event product samples
are furnished hereunder, such samples shall only be use as reasonably required
in accordance with this Letter, and the Recipient shall not de-compile,
disassemble or otherwise attempt to reverse engineer the samples.

    

    3.            
Representatives. Each
Party may disclose Confidential Information to those of its Representatives who
have a reasonable need to know such information in order to assist the Recipient
in performing their responsibilities under this Letter; provided that, prior to any
such disclosure, (a) the Recipient informs any such Representative of the terms
of this Letter and (b) such Representative agrees to preserve the
confidentiality of the Confidential Information.  Each Party shall
take all such actions as will ensure that its Representatives comply with the
terms of this Letter. Each Party will be responsible for any breach of this
Letter by any of its Representatives.

    

    4.            
Subpoenas,
etc.  If the Recipient or any of its Representatives becomes
required by law or applicable legal process to disclose any Confidential
Information furnished by the Provider, the Recipient shall provide the Provider
with prompt prior written notice of such requirement and the terms of and
circumstances surrounding such requirement so that such Provider may seek an
appropriate protective order or other remedy, or waive compliance with the terms
of this Letter, and the Recipient shall provide such cooperation with respect to
obtaining a protective order or other remedy as the Provider shall reasonably
request.  If, in the absence of protective order or other remedy or
the receipt of a waiver by the Provider, the Recipient or any of its
Representatives are nonetheless, in the written opinion of its counsel,
reasonably acceptable to the Provider, legally compelled to disclose
Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt or
suffer other censure or penalty, the Recipient or its Representatives may,
without liability hereunder, disclose to such tribunal only that portion of the
Confidential Information which such counsel advises the Recipient is legally
required to be disclosed; provided that, the Recipient
exercises its best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other
reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such
Confidential Information by such tribunal.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    5.            
Effect of Termination
on Confidential Information.  In the event of a termination of
this Letter or the Reseller Agreement or at the request of either Party, the
Recipient shall immediately (a) cease using the Confidential Information, (b)
return to the Provider any Confidential Information furnished by the Provider or
any of its Representatives and (c) destroy any and all copies of such
Confidential Information and any and all notes, analyses, compilations, studies
or other documents prepared by the Recipient or any of its Representatives
containing or reflecting any Confidential Information.  Any
destruction required pursuant to this Section 5 of this Exhibit C shall, upon
request of the Provider, be certified in writing to the Provider by an
authorized officer supervising such destruction.  Notwithstanding the
return or destruction of the Confidential Information, each Party and its
Representatives will continue to be bound by its obligations of confidentiality
and other obligations hereunder.

    

    6.           
 Non-Disclosure.  Without
the prior written consent of the other Party, each Party will not, and will
cause its Representatives not to, disclose to any person (including, but not
limited to, by press release or other public statement) (a) that any Party has
requested or received Confidential Information from the other Party or (b) the
terms, conditions or other facts concerning this Letter or the rights and
obligations of the Parties under this Letter, including, but not limited to, the
status or existence thereof; provided that, either Party
may make such disclosure if required by law or the rules of any securities
exchange or market. The term “person” as used in
this Letter shall be broadly interpreted to include, without limitation, the
media and any corporation, partnership, group, individual or other
entity.  Aequus acknowledges and agrees that WGAT will publicly
disclose this Letter in filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission

    

    7.           
 Accuracy of
Materials. Neither Party makes any representation or warranty, express or
implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information
provided or to be provided by it or any of its Representatives.  No
Party nor any of its Representatives will have any liability to the other Party
or any other person resulting from any action taken or any inaction occurring in
reliance on any Confidential Information provided by the other Party or any of
its Representatives or the contents thereof.

    

    8.           
 Remedies.
Each Party agrees to indemnify and hold the other Party and its stockholders
harmless from any damages, loss, liabilities, diminution in value of property,
costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorney fees and expenses)
arising out of any breach of this Letter by such Party or its
Representatives.   Each Party acknowledges and agrees that money
damages are an inadequate remedy for breach of the confidentiality and
nonsolicitation provisions of this Letter because of the difficulty of
ascertaining the amount of damage that will be suffered in the event that this
Letter is breached.  Therefore, each Party shall be entitled to
equitable relief, including, but not limited to, an injunction and specific
performance, in the event of any breach of the confidentiality and
nonsolicitation provisions of this Letter by the other Party or any of its
Representatives, in addition to all other remedies available to such Party at
law or in equity.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    9.            
Nonsolicitation. In
consideration of Confidential Information being furnished to Aequus by WGAT,
Aequus hereby agrees that, from the date of the Letter until two years after the
date of termination of the New Reseller Agreement, without obtaining the prior
written consent of WGAT, Aequus will not, nor will any of its affiliates or
Representatives, employ or solicit for employment any employee of WGAT, or
induce any employee of WGAT to terminate such employee’s employment with WGAT;
provided that, advertisements
by way of newspapers, magazines, trade publications, internet or general media
or non-directed executive search shall not constitute a violation of this
provision.

    

    11.           Compliance with
Law.  Recipient agrees that it will not indirectly (a) export
any technical Confidential Information acquired under this Letter or any
commodities using such Confidential Information to any country to which the
United States government forbids export or, at the time of export, requires an
export license or approval, without first obtaining such license or approval, or
(b) use any such Confidential Information to engage in or facilitate the trading
of any securities, in either case, in violation of any prevailing laws and
regulations in any applicable jurisdiction.  Each Party acknowledges
and agrees that it is aware that applicable securities laws prohibit any person
who has material, non-public information concerning Aequus, WGAT or their
affiliates from purchasing or selling any securities of Aequus, WGAT or their
affiliates, or from communicating such information to any other person or entity
under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is
likely to purchase or sell such securities.

    (a)           No
failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege

of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.

understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and

among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

    

    (c)           This
Letter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without giving effect to any choice of law or
conflicts of laws provisions or rule of any jurisdiction that would cause the
substantive laws of any other jurisdiction to apply. Aequus hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
courts of either the Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, Pennsylvania and of
the United States of America located in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for
