receive payments associated with Dividend Equivalent Rights attributable to such
Options with regard to such special or non-recurring  cash dividends.

benefit  which  could not be  conferred  on the  Optionee  by the grant of a new

rule  or  regulation  which  would  make  the  exercise  of all or  part  of any
previously  granted Option  unlawful or subject the Company to any penalty,  the
Committee may restrict any such exercise  without the consent of the Optionee or
other holder thereof in order to comply with any such law, rule or regulation or

         THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY

ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE
SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD OR
TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS.

RIGHTS AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN DULY AND VALIDLY AUTHORIZED, EXECUTED AND DELIVERED

EXHIBIT 4.11

                                  SCHEDULE 3.6
                                  ------------

                               ABSENCE OF CHANGES

In addition to the disclosures made in the Company's SEC Documents and press
releases, investors should be aware of the following risks:

HISTORICAL AND FUTURE LOSSES OF THE COMPANY: Since its inception, the business
of Adatom, Inc. ("AI") has incurred significant losses, and as of September 30,
1999, had an approximate accumulated deficit of $3,846,000. As a result, there
is an uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Additionally, because AI was a development stage company prior to consummation
of the merger, the acquisition of AI through the consummation of the Merger may
result in the surviving Company being classified as a development stage company.
The Company is expected to incur substantial operating losses for the
foreseeable future due to a high level of expenditures in the areas of
operations, research and development and other investments designed to enhance
the Company's products and services and establish Internet capabilities. The
Company intends to substantially increase marketing and promotional spending in
an effort to increase revenues. However, there can be no assurance that the
Company will generate sufficient revenues to ever achieve profitability or
otherwise sustain its profitability in the future.

NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING: The Company is dependent upon raising additional
capital to finance its current operations and future plans for expansion. The
Company does not currently have on hand working capital sufficient to sustain
its business without additional capital.

Between December 1999 and February 2000 Mr. Richard Barton the President made
short-term non interest-bearing loans in the amount of $200,000 and $500,000 to
the Company for working capital purposes. On February 10, 2000 the Company
agreed to repay the working capital loans of $500,000 from Mr. Barton with
common stock of the Company based on the closing market price of the common
stock on that date of $2.906 per share, accordingly the Company will issue
172,057 shares of common stock to Mr. Barton. Further the $200,000 loan from Mr.
Barton remains outstanding.

The Company estimates that it will require a minimum of $8,000,000 to implement
its business plan and sustain its sales and marketing activities through
December 31, 2000. Additional funds will be needed, particularly in light of the
existence of a number of well financed competitors and the possibility that
there may be a shift in the type of internet services that are developed and
ultimately receive consumer acceptance. Adequate funds for these and other
purposes on terms acceptable to the Company, whether through additional equity
financing, debt financing or other sources, may not be available when needed or
may result in significant dilution to existing stockholders. Furthermore, the
Company's lack of tangible assets to pledge as security for debt financing could
prevent the Company from obtaining bank or similar debt financing. Failure to
obtain adequate financing would have a material adverse effect on the Company
and could result in cessation of the Company's business.

The Company believes that the net proceeds of this Offering, together with its
available cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and investment income
will be sufficient to meets its operating expenses and capital expenditures
through the next six months. The Company anticipates that it will have to raise
additional capital during 2000. The Company can give no assurance that it will
be able to raise such capital or that the terms thereof will be favorable to the
Company.
