infrastructure makes Exodus better equipped than traditional ISPs to meet the demand for critical Internet
applications like e-commerce. Our relationship with Exodus enables us to launch our Search Engine anywhere in
the United States, allowing us to service our customers, wherever they may be, quickly and efficiently. Teaming
with Exodus is consistent with our growth strategy of creating key strategic alliances and acquisitions which will

1999.''
''We continually anticipate the needs of our customers and team with them to deliver the solutions that best meet
their business objectives,'' said Susan Farber, vice president of marketing and strategy at Exodus. ''Our

advanced Regional Business Directory Services System on the Web. WelcomeTo will list only business-related
Web sites, searchable by specific geographic regions and business categories. The Search Engine will be
launched on a city by city basis beginning in the first quarter of 1999.
When it completes its recently announced intention to acquire Xceedx Technologies Inc., a leading developer of
scalable e-commerce products, WelcomeTo will be able to provide businesses with a complete turnkey solution
for selling products and services on the Internet. The Xceedx line of e-commerce products will allow companies
to quickly establish an e-commerce storefront, while the WelcomeTo Search Engine will provide the means to
drive traffic to the these sites.
The e-commerce market is projected to generate $US 425 billion in sales by 2002 and to generate $3.2 trillion in
global transactions in that same year. This explosive growth is driving the e-commerce markets being targeted by
WelcomeTo. Employing an aggressive development strategy, WelcomeTo is well positioned to take advantage
of the emerging e-commerce markets already being targeted by such companies as Excite , Yahoo! and Lycos .
