SoftLock.com (OTCBB: SLCK) is the e-commerce leader in merchandising valuable digital goods over the Internet through a comprehensive sales and marketing system: The CyberSales Solutionú. Using this "virtual sales channel" owners of quality electronic content (traditional print publishers, web-based information services, financial/business research, magazine, book, newspaper and new media companies) can now sell their products from their own web site and through our highly targeted distribution system, the SoftLock.com Merchandising Networkú. In parallel, the SoftLock.com Chain Reaction Channelú promotes the secure distribution of their content through the natural consumer tendency to pass along relevant and respected content to colleagues, friends and family. And, for the first time ever, consumers benefit from a universe of valuable, superior on-line content that is easily and readily available.

SoftLock.com's proven, patented (US #5,509,070), persistent security technology stops electronic shoplifting (piracy) not just during the initial download, but forever. Because SoftLock-enabled content can be securely sampled, electronically purchased and redistributed, SoftLock.com's Chain Reaction Channel enables content to be passed along from one interested consumer to the next. The Chain Reaction Channel keeps intellectual property secure while generating valuable marketing data and sales revenue no matter how many times the content is copied and redistributed - in fact, more copies means more data and revenue.

The Chain Reaction Channel encourages redistribution and turns the natural tendency to "pass it on" into a highly effective sales channel. SoftLock.com makes every copy an opportunity and turns piracy into profits.

SoftLock.com's Merchandising Network is a turnkey, easy-to-customize sales and distribution system enabling digital content owners to securely sell proprietary and copyrighted documents through SoftLock-affiliated web sites. SoftLock.com assists in merchandising the content, tracks and remits payments to all parties, provides reports, auditing, and customer service.

SoftLock.com brokers prime Web placements creating a point-of-sale system that helps Content Owners appear in front of their best prospects when they are most likely to buy. SoftLock.com also opens new revenue streams, extends audience reach, builds Web site stickiness and grows brand awareness for SoftLock.com's Affiliates.

And Consumer's benefit as SoftLock.com unlocks the Net's digital treasures. Valuable digital content is now being sold a la carte and conveniently placed on affiliate sites when and where its most likely to be helpful. As Bob Metcalfe recently wrote in InfoWorld,

"Having advocated the Pay-As-We-Go Internetú for a while now, I know that many Internet users think that, if there is no practical way to charge for content, they will get it free, which is just fine with them. The reality is that without payment systems such as SoftLock.com's, a lot of premium online content will be not free, but unavailable."
-- Bob Metcalfe, InfoWorld, May 17, 1999

SoftLock.com has been electronically selling digital products since 1993.

All of this is going into our breakthrough e-commerce offering, The CyberSales Solution, available this summer, and already adopted by several high profile Content Owners.

The CyberSales Solution requires no up-front financial commitment. All necessary SoftLock.com software is royalty-free and all the service fees are bundled into SoftLock.com's sales commission.
