                             ACQUISITION AGREEMENT

         THIS ACQUISITION AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is dated as of January
29, 1999, by and between GLOBAL TRADE GROUP, LTD., a Wyoming corporation ("GTG")
and its undersigned shareholders (each a "SHAREHOLDER" and, collectively, the
"SHAREHOLDERS"), and WORLD WIDE WEB NETWORX CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation
("WWWX").

                                    RECITALS

         A. GTG holds a 49% membership interest ("GTG'S MEMBERSHIP INTEREST") in
BarterOne, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("BARTERONE").

         B. Energy Trading Company, a Delaware corporation wholly owned by PECO
Energy Company ("ETCO"), holds the remaining 51% membership interest in

         C. BarterOne holds certain worldwide, perpetual licensing rights to the
ORBIT System Software (On-Line Reciprocal Business and Inventory Transaction
System), an electronic commerce system to be used as a transaction tool over the
internet ("ORBIT"), and is engaged in the business of developing and marketing
on-line asset management and remarketing programs to major corporations (the
"BUSINESS"). GTG holds certain additional assets and rights used or useful in
the conduct of the Business, including certain development rights related to
ORBIT (the "GTG ASSETS").

         D. GTG desires to transfer the GTG Assets and GTG's Membership Interest
(collectively, the "PURCHASED ASSETS") to WWWX, and WWWX desires to acquire the
Purchased Assets, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
ETCO Agreement, it is the intent of the parties that WWWX shall have acquired
all of the rights and assets necessary or useful to the conduct of the Business.

         E. The Shareholders collectively own all of the issued and outstanding
shares of the capital stock of GTG, and WWWX desires that the Shareholders enter
into certain agreements as a condition precedent to the closing hereunder.

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree
as follows:

         SECTION 1. PURCHASE AND SALE

         1.1 AGREEMENT TO SELL. At the Closing (hereinafter defined), GTG shall
sell, grant, convey, transfer, assign and deliver to WWWX, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions of this Agreement, free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances and charges of any kind, (except hereinafter

expressly provided), GTG's Membership Interest and the GTG Assets. As used
herein, the "GTG Assets" shall include all of GTG's right, title and interest in
and to assets of any kind, character and description used or useful in or
necessary to the conduct of the Business or otherwise owned by GTG and used in

Schedule 1.1 hereto and all equipment, inventories, accounts receivable, trade
secrets, customer lists, goodwill, intellectual property, contracts, books and

marketing materials, technology, and technical know-how.

         1.2 AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE. At the Closing, WWWX shall acquire from GTG,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in reliance
upon the representations and warranties of GTG and the Shareholders in this

defined).

Non-Competition Agreement set forth below (the "PURCHASE PRICE") shall be as
follows:

         (a) $576,224.13 shall be paid in immediately available funds at the
Closing, it being acknowledged by GTG that WWWX has prior to the date hereof
deposited with GTG $215,586.00 in cash, which amount shall be applied as a
credit against the Purchase Price; and

         (b) as further consideration, WWWX shall issue and deliver to GTG One
Million Five Hundred Thousand (1,500,000) fully paid and non-assessable shares
of the common stock of WWWX (the "WWWX Stock"), which shares are being issued in
a private placement subject to all applicable Federal and State securities laws,
regulations and restrictions, and shall bear a legend to that effect.

         2.2 NO ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES. WWWX is not assuming or agreeing to
pay or discharge any of the liabilities and obligations of GTG, whether or not

         SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF GTG AND THE SHAREHOLDERS

         GTG and the Shareholders hereby jointly and severally represent and
warrant to WWWX, intending for WWWX to rely hereon, as follows:

organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Wyoming, and BarterOne is a limited liability company duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. GTG owns
GTG's Membership Interest in BarterOne free and clear of any liens, encumbrances
or other rights of third parties. GTG's Membership Interest and ETCO's
Membership Interest together constitute 100% of the membership interests in
BarterOne, and there are no outstanding options or rights to purchase or
otherwise acquire any interest in BarterOne of any kind or character, or any
rights or interests convertible into or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitling
anyone to acquire any such interest. Attached hereto as Exhibit "A" is a true
and complete copy of the Operating Agreement for BarterOne, together with all
amendments thereto or modifications thereof (the "OPERATING AGREEMENT"). The
Operating Agreement is in full force and effect and unmodified except as
specifically set forth in Exhibit A, GTG has performed all of its obligations to
be performed thereunder, and neither GTG nor any of the Shareholders has any
knowledge of any default or claimed or alleged default, or state of facts which
with notice or lapse of time or both, would

                                       3
<PAGE>

constitute a default, in any obligation of GTG or of any other party to be
performed thereunder.

         4.2 FINANCIAL CONDITION. GTG has delivered to WWWX (a) BarterOne's
management prepared balance sheet dated December 22, 1998, and (b) BarterOne's
1997 Tax Returns (collectively, the "FINANCIALS"). The Financials and the
schedules to this Agreement collectively represent true and complete lists of
the assets and liabilities of GTG and BarterOne on the date hereof and as
anticipated to exist at the Closing, and together present fairly the financial
condition, results of operations, business, properties, assets, liabilities and
future prospects of BarterOne and the Business as of the dates thereof and for
the periods indicated therein. There has been no material adverse change in the
financial condition or future prospects of BarterOne or the Business, and no
fact is known to GTG or the Shareholders which materially adversely affects or
in the future may materially adversely affect the financial condition or future
prospects of BarterOne or the Business.

         4.3 TITLE TO BARTERONE ASSETS. BarterOne owns outright, and has good
marketable title to, all of its assets, including without limitation the ORBIT

interests, conditional sales contracts or other encumbrances or conflicting
claims of any nature whatsoever, except for possible claims of Avenir Internet

or others, will cause the Technology to be destroyed, erased, damaged or
otherwise made inoperable;

         (b) the Technology is owned by BarterOne exclusively without infringing
upon, or misusing, misappropriating or otherwise acting adversely to, the right
or the claimed right of any person or entity under or with respect to the

right or interest in the Technology or otherwise adverse to BarterOne's
unqualified right to exclusively own and fully utilize the Technology exist;

         (d) there are no pending or threatened suits, legal proceedings, claims
or governmental investigations against or with respect to the Technology or any
component thereof;

<PAGE>

         (e) except as set forth on Schedule 4.3, there are no licenses,
assignments, instruments of transfer, pledges, encumbrances or agreements that
are currently outstanding or in effect whereby any interest in or to the
Technology has been licensed, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise
conveyed to any person or entity;

         (f) BarterOne's rights to the Technology are not being infringed upon
or misused or misappropriated by any person or entity;

         (g) to the knowledge of GTG and the Shareholders, neither the use and
development of the Technology, nor the offer for sale, sale and use of services
related to the Technology, infringes or will infringe upon any intellectual

inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, whether made or entered into
by the GTG or BarterOne or otherwise;

         (i) to the knowledge of GTG and the Shareholders, no information
relating to the Technology has been disclosed in a manner as to become available
to the public;

         (j) the Technology will perform in substantial conformity with its

multi-century formulas and date values, and century correct date data interface
values will accurately process date and time data (including but not limited to,
calculation, comparing and sequencing) from, into and between the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries, and the years 1999 and 2000 and leap year calculation,
and when used in combination with other information technology, will accurately
process date and time data if the other information technology exchanges date
and time data with it;

         (l) BarterOne owns the entire worldwide right, title, and interest in
and to all intellectual property rights in the Technology, including without
limitation all copyrights in all computer programs and/or other works of
authorship included in the Technology, all patent rights in and to any and all
inventions included in the Technology, such patent rights including without
limitation all patents and patent applications directed to such inventions and
the right to file patent applications directed to such inventions, and all
rights in the nature of trade secrets in the Technology; and

         (m) with respect to the Avenir Claims, (i) the ORBIT software can be
rewritten or reconfigured to substitute an alternative "platform" for the
software developed by Avenir, which substitution will have the effect of
removing from the ORBIT software any technology developed by Avenir, thereby
extinguishing any Avenir Claims, (ii) the ORBIT software, thus reconfigured,
will function at least as well as the ORBIT software as presently configured,
and (iii) the aforesaid reconfiguration can be completed within ninety (90) days
following the Closing Date at a cost of less

                                       5

which are due and required to be filed and have paid or caused to be paid all
Taxes due through the date hereof and any assessment of Taxes received, except
Taxes or assessments that are being contested in good faith and have been
adequately reserved against. GTG and BarterOne have received no notice of, and
to the knowledge of GTG and the Shareholders, there is no pending or threatened
proceeding or claim by any governmental agency for assessment or collection of
Taxes from GTG or BarterOne. All such Tax Returns have been prepared on the same
basis as that of previous years and in accordance with all applicable laws,
regulations and requirements, and accurately reflect the taxable income (or
other measure of Tax) of GTG and BarterOne. GTG and BarterOne have satisfied all

Taxes on any of the Purchased Assets. No transaction contemplated by this
Agreement is subject to withholding under Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue

mercantile, real estate, gross receipts, license, employment, severance, stamp,
premium, windfall profits, social security (or similar unemployment),
disability, transfer, registration, value added, alternative, or add-on minimum,
estimated, or capital stock and franchise and other tax of any kind whatsoever,
including any interest, penalty or addition thereto, whether disputed or not,
and "Tax Returns" means all returns, reports, forms, declarations, claims for
refunds or other information required to be filed or supplied to any person
including a taxing authority in connection with Taxes (including without
limitation information returns and declarations of estimated Tax) (Any reference
to "filed" or "file" with respect to Taxes shall also be deemed to include
"supplied" or "supply").

         4.6 LITIGATION. Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.6 attached hereto and
incorporated herein:

         (a) there is no dispute, claim, actions, suit, proceeding, arbitration
or governmental investigation, either administrative or judicial, pending, or to
the knowledge of GTG and the Shareholders threatened, against GTG, BarterOne,
the Business or the Purchased Assets; and

         (b) neither GTG or BarterOne is in default with respect to any order,
writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental department, commission,
board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, which involves the possibility of any
judgment or liability which may result in any

                                       6
<PAGE>

material adverse change in the financial condition of GTG, BarterOne, the
Business or the Purchased Assets.

         4.7 ABSENCE OF UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES. Neither GTG nor BarterOne has
any liabilities or obligations accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise,
except as disclosed in the Financials or in this Agreement or the Exhibits or
Schedules hereto or as incurred, consistent with past business practice, in the
normal and ordinary course of the Business, and none of which is material and
adverse. For purposes of this Agreement, material means any matter which could
exceed $5,000.

         4.8 MATERIAL CONTRACTS. Schedule 4.8 contains a true and correct list
of each contract, agreement, commitment or obligation (a) with respect to
BarterOne or the Business, which involves the payment to or from BarterOne of
amounts in excess of $5,000 per year, (b) any license, franchise or distribution
agreement, which involves payments to or from BarterOne in excess of $5,000 per
year, and (c) any lease of tangible personal property, which involves payments
to or from BarterOne in excess of $5,000 per year (the "BARTERONE MATERIAL
CONTRACTS"). Each of the BarterOne Material Contracts constitutes a legal, valid
and binding obligation of the parties thereto, is in full force and effect and
will continue in full force and effect following the consummation of the
transactions contemplated herein and hereby, in each case without breaching the
terms thereof or resulting in the forfeiture or impairment of any rights
thereunder and without the consent, approval or act of, or the making of any
filing with, any other party (except as set forth in Schedule 4.8). BarterOne is
not in, or to its knowledge alleged to be in, breach or default under, nor is
there or is there alleged to be any basis for termination of, any BarterOne
Material Contract and, to the best knowledge of GTG and the Shareholders, no
other party to any BarterOne Material Contract has breached or defaulted
thereunder, and no event has occurred and no condition or state of facts exists
which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would
constitute such a default or breach by BarterOne or, to the best of the
knowledge of GTG and the Shareholders, by any such other party. BarterOne is not
currently renegotiating any BarterOne Material Contract and is not paying
liquidated damages in lieu of the performance thereunder.

         4.9 INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Schedule 4.9 sets forth a list of (a) all
patents, copyrights, trade names, trademarks, service marks and name (registered
or unregistered), and applications and registrations therefor, (b) all research,
development and commercially practiced processes, trade secrets, know-how,
inventions, and engineering and other technical information, (c) all computer
programs, software and data bases owned by or licensed to BarterOne, (d) all
information, drawings, specifications, designs, plans, financial, marketing and
business data and plans, other proprietary, confidential or intellectual
information or property and all copies and embodiments thereof in whatever form
or medium and (e) all customer and membership lists of BarterOne (collectively
"INTANGIBLE ASSETS") as well as a list of all registrations thereof and pending
applications therefor. Each of the Intangible Assets listed on such schedule as
being owned by BarterOne is owned by BarterOne free and clear of any and all
liens and encumbrances and, to the knowledge of GTG and the Shareholders, no
other person or entity has any claim of ownership with respect thereto.
BarterOne has adequate licenses or other valid rights to use all of the
Intangible Assets which it does not own and which are material to the conduct of
the Business. To the knowledge of GTG and the

                                       7
<PAGE>

Shareholders, BarterOne's use of the Intangible Assets does not conflict with,
infringe upon, violate or interfere with any intellectual property rights of any
other person or entity, nor is any other person or entity infringing upon,
violating or interfering with any intellectual property rights of BarterOne.

         4.10 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. GTG and BarterOne have complied with and are
not in default under, or in violation of, any law, ordinance, rule, regulation
or order (including, without limitation, any environmental, safety, employee
benefit, health or price or wage control law, ordinance, rule, regulation or
order) applicable to the Business which materially adversely affect or, so far
as GTG or the Shareholders can now foresee, may in the future materially
adversely affect, the Business or the Purchased Assets.

         4.11 AUTHORIZATION. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, and
the sale, transfer and other actions contemplated hereby have been duly
authorized, including, with respect to GTG, by all necessary action of its Board
of Directors and the Shareholders, and neither the execution and delivery of
this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein by
GTG or the Shareholders constitutes a violation or breach of applicable law or
any contract or instrument to which GTG or any of the Shareholders is a party or
by which it or they are bound, or any order, writ, injunction, decree or
judgment applicable to it or them, or constitutes a default (or would but for
the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, constitute a default) under any
contract or instrument to which GTG or any Shareholder is a party or by which it
or they are bound, or conflicts with or violates any provision of the Operating
Agreement or the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of GTG. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing provisions, the execution and delivery by GTG
and the Shareholders of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation or default or give to any
other person any rights, including rights of termination, cancellation or
acceleration under any applicable law, rule or regulation, any agreement,
instrument or policy to which GTG or the Shareholders is a party or may be
bound, (ii) result in any judgment, order, injunction, decree or ruling of any
court or governmental authority to which GTG and/or any of the Shareholders is a
party or subject or (iii) require any authorization, consent, approval,
exemption or other action by any court or administrative or governmental body
which has not been obtained or any notice to or filing with any court or
administrative or governmental body which has not been given or done. This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by GTG and the Shareholders and
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of GTG and the Shareholders
enforceable in accordance with its terms.

         4.12 CONSENTS. No consent, waiver, approval, order, permit or

Shareholders of this Agreement, or the compliance by GTG or any of the
Shareholders with any of the provisions hereof.

         4.13 INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS.

         (a) the shares of WWWX Stock being acquired by GTG are intended to be
and are being acquired solely for GTG's account without a view to the current
distribution or resale thereof, and

                                       8
<PAGE>

GTG does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement to sell or
otherwise transfer or dispose of any of such shares in any manner to any person
or entity;

          (b) GTG will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the
shares of WWWX Stock being acquired by GTG, in any manner, unless at the time of
such transfer: (i) a registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "SECURITIES ACT") and under all other applicable securities laws is in
effect with respect to the shares of the WWWX Stock to be sold, transferred or
disposed of, and GTG complies with all of the requirements of the Securities Act
and such other applicable securities laws with respect to the proposed
transaction; or (ii) GTG has obtained and has provided to WWWX satisfactory
evidence that the proposed sale, transfer or disposition does not require
registration under the Securities Act or such other applicable securities
laws;

          (c) the shares of WWWX Stock being acquired by GTG have not been
issued by WWWX pursuant to a registration under the Securities Act, and GTG must
therefore hold such shares indefinitely unless a subsequent registration or
exemption therefrom is available and is obtained. No federal or state agency has
approved or disapproved the shares of WWWX Stock being acquired by GTG for
investment or any other purpose. All of the shares of WWWX Stock being acquired
by GTG have been issued and sold to GTG in reliance upon a specific exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act which depends, in part,
upon the accuracy of GTG's representations, warranties and agreements set forth
in this Agreement; and

          (d) GTG is an "accredited investor," as such term is defined in
Regulation D under the Securities Act.

Closing.

          10.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY GTG AND THE SHAREHOLDERS. GTG and the
Shareholders shall jointly and severally defend, indemnify and hold WWWX
harmless from and against (a) any and all liabilities and obligations of, or

                                       13
<PAGE>

          10.4 NOTICE OF INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any legal proceeding
shall be threatened or instituted or any claim or demand shall be asserted by
any person or entity in respect of which payment may be sought by one party
hereto from another party under the provisions of this Section 10, the party
seeking indemnification (the "INDEMNITEE") shall promptly cause written notice
of the assertion of any such claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by
this indemnity to be forwarded to the other party (the "INDEMNITOR"); provided,
however, that failure of the Indemnitee to give the Indemnitor notice as
provided in this Section shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations
hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnitor shall have been prejudiced by
such failure. Any notice of a claim by reason of any of the representations,
warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement shall state in reasonable
detail the representations, warranty or covenant with respect to which the claim
is made, the facts giving rise to an alleged basis for the claim, and the amount
of the liability asserted against the Indemnitor by reason of the claim.

          10.5 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE FOR THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. Except as
otherwise provided herein, in the event of the initiation of any legal
proceeding against an Indemnitee by a third party, the Indemnitor shall be
entitled to assume the defense thereof, at the Indemnitor's sole expense. If the
Indemnitor assumes the defense of any legal proceeding, it will not settle the
legal proceeding, it will not settle the legal proceeding without the prior
written consent of the Indemnitee (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed). The Indemnitee shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the
Indemnitor and its attorneys in the investigations, trial and defense of any
legal proceeding and any appeal arising therefrom (including the filing in the
Indemnitee's name of appropriate cross claims and counterclaims). The Indemnitee
may, at its own cost, participate in any investigation, trial and defense of
such legal proceeding controlled by the Indemnitor and any appeal arising
therefrom. If after receipt of a written notice pursuant to Section 10.4 hereof,
the Indemnitor does not undertake to defend any such legal proceeding, the
Indemnitee may, but shall have no obligation to, contest or defend against any
legal proceeding and the Indemnitor shall be bound by the result obtained with
respect thereto by the Indemnitee (including, without limitation, the settlement
thereof without the consent of the Indemnitor). If there are one or more legal
defenses available to the Indemnitee that conflict with those available to the
Indemnitor, the Indemnitee shall have the right, at the expense of the
Indemnitor, to assume the defense of the legal proceeding; provided, however,
that in any event the Indemnitee may not settle such legal proceeding without
the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. As used herein, a "legal proceeding" includes any
judicial, administrative or arbitral action, suit, proceeding (public or
private), claim or governmental proceeding.

          10.6 PAYMENT OF INDEMNIFICATION AMOUNTS. Amount payable by the
Indemnitor to the Indemnitee in respect of any claims hereunder shall be payable
by the Indemnitor as incurred by the Indemnitee.

          10.7 RIGHT OF WWWX SUCCESSORS TO ENFORCE. GTG and the Shareholders
agree that the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to the benefit of, and
may be enforced by, any successor to the interests of WWWX (by assignment,
merger, operation of law or otherwise, and regardless of whether such successor
acquires such interests directly from WWWX), holding all or any part of the
Purchased

                                       14
<PAGE>

Assets ("WWWX SUCCESSOR"), to the same extent as if the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements of GTG and the Shareholders contained in
this Agreement had been made directly to such WWWX Successor. GTG and the
Shareholders further agree that they shall execute and deliver to any WWWX
Successor such further agreements, instruments or other documents as may be
reasonably required to affirm the obligations of GTG and the Shareholders and
the rights of such WWWX Successor hereunder.

         SECTION 11. POST-CLOSING MATTERS; NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

         11.1 FURTHER ASSURANCES. At the request of WWWX or any WWWX Successor
from time to time, GTG and the Shareholders shall, without further cost to WWWX
or such WWWX Successor, at any time and from time to time, promptly do, execute,
acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and
delivered, to WWWX or such WWWX Successor, as the case may be, all such further
acts, transfers, assignments, deeds, powers and assurances of title, and
additional papers and instruments, and will do or cause to be done all acts or
things as often as may be proper or necessary or advisable for better assuring,
conveying, transferring and assigning the Purchased Assets (including, without
limitation, the Technology), and effectively to carry out the intent hereof, and
to vest in WWWX or, as applicable, any WWWX Successor, the entire right, title
and interest in and to all of the Purchased Assets. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, GTG and the Shareholders each agrees to furnish to
WWWX or any WWWX Successor, all data, formulae, models, programs, software,
notes, documents and all other information regarding the Technology in their
possessions, necessary or useful for WWWX or such WWWX Successor to develop the
Technology, to utilize the Technology and to enable its attorneys to evaluate
and properly protect the Technology.

         11.2 RESPONSIBILITY FOR LITIGATION. GTG shall be responsible for all
present or future litigation and claims for injury and related expenses arising
out of the conduct of the Business up to the time of Closing, including without
limitation, any litigation disclosed on Schedule 4.6 hereto and any litigation
arising out of the Avenir Claims.

         11.3 TRADE SECRETS/NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT.

         a. GTG and the Shareholders shall not at any time after the Closing use
for its or their own benefit, or divulge to any other person, firm or
corporation, any confidential information or trade secrets relating in any way
to the Business, and at the Closing, GTG and the Shareholders shall deliver to
WWWX all lists of customers, books, records, trade secrets, intellectual
property and all other property constituting confidential information belonging
to GTG and related to the Business. For the purposes hereof, the term
"CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" means any and all information related to the
Technology, customer and marketing relationships, and business and financial
information of the Business.

         b. As a material inducement to WWWX to enter into this Agreement, in
consideration of the Purchase Price paid hereunder, and for other good and valid
consideration, the receipt and

                                       15

sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, as well as in recognition of the
fact that the value of the Purchased Assets would be diminished substantially if
GTG or the Shareholders were to engage in any business or activities in
competition with the Business, GTG and the Shareholders covenant and agree that,
except as required in the performance of their duties set forth in this
Agreement or in any other written agreement with WWWX or any WWWX Successor,
each will not for a period of four (4) years after the Closing Date engage
directly or indirectly, whether individually or in partnership or in
conjunction with any other person, firm, association, syndicate or
corporation, as principal, agent, shareholder, employee, consultant or in any
other manner whatsoever, in any business activity competitive with the
Business.

         c. GTG and the Shareholders agree that any violation of any of the
covenants in this Section would cause substantial and irreparable injury to WWWX
or any WWWX Successor, whereupon GTG and/or the Shareholders may be enjoined
from any breach or threatened breach thereof in addition to, but not in
limitation of, any of the rights or remedies to which WWWX or any such WWWX
Successor is or may be entitled to at law or in equity or under this Agreement.

         d. GTG and the Shareholders agree that the limitations set forth above
are reasonable in time and geographic scope, and if any provision hereof is held
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall nevertheless remain in full force
and effect. In particular, GTG and the Shareholders agree that if any court of
competent jurisdiction shall determine that the duration or geographical limit
of the foregoing non-competition covenant is invalid, unenforceable or
unreasonable, it is the intention of GTG, the Shareholders, and WWWX that it
shall not be terminated thereby but shall be deemed to have been amended to
the extent required to render it valid and enforceable, such amendment to
apply only with respect to the jurisdiction of the court making such
adjudication.

         11.4 RIGHT OF WWWX SUCCESSORS TO ENFORCE. GTG and the Shareholders
agree that the provisions of this Section 11 shall inure to the benefit of, and
may be enforced by, any WWWX Successor, to the same extent as if the
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of GTG and the
Shareholders contained herein had been made directly to such WWWX Successor, and
with the further understanding and agreement that the term "Business" as used
herein shall include the Business as conducted by any such WWWX Successor. GTG
and the Shareholders further agree that they shall execute and deliver to any
WWWX Successor such further agreements, instruments or other documents as may be
reasonably required to affirm the obligations of GTG and the Shareholders and
the rights of such WWWX Successor hereunder.

         SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS

of GTG or the Shareholders, assign its rights under Sections 10 and 11 hereof to
any WWWX Successor as provided therein, it being the intent of the parties that

benefit of, WWWX, GTG, the Shareholders and their respective heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns.
