Franklin & DCI Clarify Relationship
Franklin Telecom of Westlake Village, California and DCI Telecommunications Inc. of Fairfield, Connecticut announced today that they have signed a new incentive agreement to redefine and clarify their cooperative relationship. The contract which is financial in nature provides DCI the right to acquire an ownership interest in FNet based upon the amount of capital raised by DCI for FNet during the next 90 days.
Under the terms of the new non exclusive agreement, DCI will receive compensation of 10% of the cash raised in cash or 20% of the cash raised in FNet common stock for capital which DCI is able to generate for FNet. "This is a good, sound business deal for DCI", agrees Joe Murphy. "It allows us to continue to develop the financial contacts we have made who are interested in supporting FNet."
DCI and FTEL confirm that the Franklin D-Mark Channel Bank, the Cyclone, the Franklin Data/Voice Servers plus all other Franklin products and concepts are the sole property of FTEL.
Previously, DCI was preparing an FNet East Coast operation. This activity will cease as this requirement in not needed since the Franklin contract with GridNet which took FNet national. DCI will focus on DCI main stream products.
FNet, a subsidiary of Franklin Telecom, is now poised to go forward with the second stage financing of $10,000,000 and the IPO of FNet. By licensing proprietary software and hardware products from Franklin Telecom, FNet is able to offer its customers superior quality services on highly advantageous terms.
