 Schedule 5.6 
 Litigation 
  
 Rebak and Macaluso v. Access
Worldwide Communications, Inc., United States District Court – District of New Jersey, 01-3221 (JWB), (05/29/2001). 
  

	 	•	 	Nature of Matter:    Mr. Rebak and Mr. Macaluso, two former employees, claim they are owed certain sums pursuant to a term sheet dated September 23, 1999.
This term sheet proposed an amendment to the Phoenix Marketing acquisition documents and enactment of the new terms would have altered the pay out with fixed payments over ten years with interest. The Corporation maintains that the amendment was
never agreed upon, and the Corporation has therefore performed under existing agreements. Mr. Rebak and Mr. Macaluso have asked for $850,0000 plus attorney’s fees. 

  

	 	•	 	Progress to Date:    On August 5, 2003, the court entered summary judgment against the plaintiffs on all counts, and dismissed the case in its entirety.
Plaintiffs have thirty (30) days in which to appeal. 

  

	 	•	 	Intended Response:    If Plaintiffs appeal, management will defend vigorously. 

  

	 	•	 	Likelihood of Unfavorable Outcome:    Not determinable at this time, but the summary judgment order in our favor was emphatic. 

 
 AM Medica v. Suzanne Kilgallen, United States District Court – Southern
District of New York, 03 Civ 1519VM, (03/05/2003). 
  

	 	•	 	Nature of Matter:    This action was brought by the Company’s AM Medica subsidiary in order to force a former employee to abide by the non-compete
and confidentiality portions of her employment contract. The action also includes a damage claim for $1.0 million in compensatory damages and $5.0 million in punitive damages. 

  

	 	•	 	Progress to Date:    The Company has hired local counsel in New York, Katten Muchin Zavis Rosenman. Suit has been filed. The suit has been dismissed by
the lower court and is currently on appeal in the Second Circuit. 

  

	 	•	 	Intended Response:    Plaintiff Case. 

  

	 	•	 	Likelihood of Unfavorable Outcome:    Plaintiff Case. 

  
 Access Worldwide Communications, Inc. v. MTI Information Technologies, LLC, Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit, in and for Broward County, Florida, 0312385 (7/18/03; MTI Information Technologies, LLC v. Access
Worldwide Communications, Inc, United States District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, 03-4465. 
  

	 	•	 	Nature of Matter:    Access sued MTI for over $600,000.00 in receivables past due. MTI sued Access seeking damages for alleged breaches of contract and
tortious interference. 

	 	•	 	Progress to Date:    Access has obtained service of process on MTI in the Florida suit; MTI’s response is due August 11, 2003. In the Pennsylvania
action, Access recently removed the action to federal court, and intends to seek to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction or, alternatively, to transfer to Florida. 

  

	 	•	 	Intended Response:    Access intends to prosecute its claims, and to defend against MTI’s, vigorously. 

  

	 	•	 	Likelihod of Unfavorable Outcome:    Undeterminable. However, MTI on numerous occasions acknowledged its debt to Access, in writing, and at no time prior
to Access’s decision to sue did MTI inform Access of any breach of contract issues.Amendment No. 1 to Lease Agreement
