`The System Control Center is a high-tech
`blend of key software functions integrated to
`maximize restaurant efficiency.

`to all critical
`information pertaining to
`restaurant operations. Wireless access to

`ommends the next available table for the
`waiting party and will page the party when
`the table is being prepared for seating.
`
`
`
`Let’s walk through the work-
`flow of a standard restau-
`rant and describe how
`
`Amerant/1’s revolutionary
`system improves efiiciency
`at each critical node.
`
`Reservations
`
`Ameranth’s 21st Century
`Reservation System offers
`the restaurant manager a
`
`variety of means to process
`
`Waitlist and Table

`Ameranth’s line-busting Waitlist
`Management application places
`key restaurant seating functions
`in the hands of the hostess
`
`and/or the restaurant manager.
`The integration of existing
`reservations and walk-in wait-
`
`listing is critical to customer sat-
`isfaction and maximum table
`
`turns per shift. With Ameranth’s

`the hostess

`status for wait times for a given

`table configuration, e.g., table

`
`Table Status Application
`How does the Command Center and,
`therefore, the hostess know the status of a
`table? Amerant
`developed the low—cost
`PadLink‘“ as a means to send wireless
`messages indicating table status to the
`Command Center. Available table status
`messages include “tab1e available,” “table
`occupied,” “bussing in process,” “tables x
`and y connected” and others. For exam-
`ple, when the Waitlist
`and Table
`Management Function receives
`the
`PadLink”“ message “bussing in process,”
`the application identifies the table
`characteristics and match-
`es those characteristics
`
`to the party waiting
`the longest for that
`table. At
`that
`time,
`the hostess can pre-
`pare the paity to occu-
`py the table, or send a
`page to the party notifying
`them to return to the restau-

`reservations. Office personnel can
`enter these reservations directly into
`the Control Center Server, or an
`employee can enter the data remotely
`using the UltraPad“" 2700 and wireless
`network.
`
`Frequent Dining Program
`Ameranth’s Customer Select frequency
`application offers the restaurant a seam-
`less way to enroll, track and manage fre-
`quent—customer programs. Ameranth’s
`relational database, available both locally
`on the restaurant’s Command Center Server
`and via the Internet from a central database,
`gives the restaurant manager access to key
`customer data. This data include table and din-

`
`Subject: Possible Symbol/Ameranth Alliance
`
`Dear John:
`
`Happy New Year! I hope that you had a wonderful holiday season. We have given a lot of thought to your
`offer of a relationship between Symbol and Ameranth and we would like to pursue this on the timeline
`. and in the manner you suggested.
`
`As I conveyed to you in our last discussion, we have considerable trepidation in establishing an alliance
`with a company of your size, breadth of products/technology and the wherewithal to “push us aside” if we
`open up our market and product strategy/technology baseline to you. That being said;
`I do admit that
`Symbol has a good reputation for both supplying its key components to industry partners and competing
`fairly at the terrninal/systems level as well. Yourjassurances that this would be so in a relationship with
`Ameranth resulted in our decision to attempt to go forward with you.
`'
`‘
`
`I was actually surprised that you apparently recognized from the FS/TEC Show the imminent impact we
`are going to have in the Hospitality and other markets with our unique products and systems solutions. I
`believe that your assessment of us will prove itself by mid 1999 and that our impact in the markets will
`grow from there. We have numerous unannounced products,
`technology innovations, and key
`relationships with major partners that will be known in the coming months and will enable us to truly set
`numerous standards. We also just closed a major financing deal.
`
`There are a few key factors that will influence our decision to move to Symbol technology and away from
`our current technology baseline in wireless and scanning technology:
`'
`
`0
`
`0 Your ability to make quick decisions and to consummate a strategic relationship at or near to the
`proposed January l9, 1999 meeting at NRF. This is key as we will barely have enough time to change
`and still meet our required product ro1l—out dates and major launch at NRA in May 99. We can not
`afford months or even weeks of legal/contractual negotiations normal for major corporations.
`0 Assurances that our niche will not be overwhelmed by Symbol when and if we establish your wireless
`network as the baseline for our various 21“ Century system solutions. Details TBD.
`Pricing that is truly competitive for our lower level requirements. Thus, many of our niche and
`product/system solutions only require short messages of a few hundred bytes and do not need 4MBPS
`data rates and as such can not afford high RF prices. An alternative might be to link our lower
`rate/cost network to Spectrum 24 and offer hybrid solutions to our customers, but it would be better if
`we only had to integrate a single wireless system.
`0 An aggressive offer from Symbol to assist our l999 launch with reduced pricing, loans of beta—site
`equipment, extra engineering support to recover schedule if we shift to your baseline, reduced pricing
`for the first 1000, and 5000 quantity orders to assist us in achieving early profitability and as a sign of
`your desire for a strategic and long term relationship with Ameranth.

`leveraging from ongoing/imminent Ameranth business and establishing the Spectrum 24 network as
`the industry standard wireless LAN for Ameranth’s various 21“ Century System solutions..... .. i.e.
`21“ Century Restaurant“, 215T Century Retail” 21“ Century Store” and ZIST Century
`Communications“. Symbol might also want to incorporate one or more of our trademarks into a
`joint marketing campaign as the millenium nears.
`'
`Synergy of marketing/shows as Ameranth is quite active in shows and has a wide range of contacts
`and key relationships.
`.
`0 Reciprocal technology transfers as Ameranth has access to a wide range of emerging innovations
`through the tremendous wireless industry in and around San Diego.
`I
`0 A new partner that could become one of its most important and largest in the years ahead.
`0 A long term commitment from Ameranth to Symbol technology.
`

`
`If you and your management want to pursue the relationship along these lines, I will arrange my travel to
`meet with you and the appropriate Symbol management at NRF on January l9, 1999. In order to have us
`at or close to a signing by then, please fax a mutual NDA ASAP, FEDX detailed brochures, developer kit
`info etc". for your smallest, lowest cost scan engines, Spectrum 24 products and wireless chip sets. We
`also need very early your best OEM volume pricing estimates as if that does not work for us, it might not
`make sense to proceed to the next steps. I also request you to draft a MOU or appropriate alliance
`document that would capture the salient points of a relationship you think would be attractive to Symbol
`and Ameranth.
`
`I apologize for seeking such a fast timeline but if your call/offer came only a few weeks later it would
`have been too late to change from our current baseline/other suppliers and if we are going to do it, we will
`have to both move quickly together.
`
`I can be reached at our office number, by text page at 1-800-864-8444 (Text Message Code 1334053), or
`by E-mail at keith@Ameranth.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

`Subject: Request for ROM Quote on Symbol 1700
`Dear John:
`
`We look forward to meeting with you on Tuesday. As we discussed, Ameranth urgently needs a ROM
`quote for 2000 Symbol 1700 units to support a government bid. Approximate program schedule would be
`100 units/month starting 9/99 and 200 units/month starting 01/00. We are interested in the CE version; in
`that we are developing a relationship with Microsoft and envision their software as the backbone for our
`various 215T Century System implementations.
`
`Questions?
`
`1.) Can we get a demo unit for 1-2 days in February to support a briefing to the customer?
`. 2.) When can we get software development kits?
`3.) When can we get 10 prototypes?
`4.) When can we get the first 100 production units?
`5.) Will the unit operate at —20C?
`6.) Approximate size/weight? Not to exceed is OK.
`7.) Can we brand the units Ameranth? If yes, what is required? NOTE: obviously this would be under the
`assumption that we made the unit our standard for much greater quantities than this initial order and
`as part of a broader alliance.
`8.) If enhancements to the unit are needed, e.g. integration of SMART Card reader, will we be allowed to
`make them and will you provide us access to the necessary data to make changes eg. pin-outs,
`firmware data etc?
`9.) What is the ROM pricing for the unit with scanner? With Spectrum 24 card included? Assume 8MB
`RAM/ROM .
`10.) Does the unit have an IRDA port?
`1 1.)Which Microprocessor?
`
`John, sorry for the short notice, ifyou can not provide a written ROM by the end of your day.... .. please
`at least call and provide your best verbal estimate , to be followed by a written ROM as soon as feasible.

`
`AMERANTH TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMSTM
`
`AND COMTEC INFORMATION SYSTEMS
`
`ANNOUNCE THE FORMATION OF A STRATEGIC ALLIANCE
`
`RANCHO SANTA FE, California, May 17, l999—Ameranth Technology Systems, Inc., a leading
`
`provider of Wireless Systems Solutions”, announced today that an agreement has been reached on
`
`the creation of a new strategic alliance with Comtec Information Systems, Inc., Warwick, Rhode
`
`Island. The Ameranth-Comtec alliance will leverage Ameranth’s existing strategic alliance with
`
`Symbol Technologies, which was announced on April 19, 1999, under terms of which, Ameranth is
`
`Symbol’s launch partner for revolutionary wireless computer products.
`
`Under terms of the Ameranth-Comtec agreement, Ameranth will make use of Comtec’s advanced
`
`printing technology to launch a line of printers targeted at automating restaurants. These products
`
`will enable on-the-spot printing of customer receipts and other hard-copy records. Comtec will
`
`provide engineering, manufacturing, and technical support, thereby freeing Ameranth to concentrate
`
`its efforts on mobile computing and wireless communications technology, which are Ameranth’s
`
`core strengths.
`
`The first new product resulting from the alliance is a portable printer that will print receipts for
`
`handheld, point-of—sale applications. The new printer weighs only one pound, clips to the
`
`operator’s belt, and has a clamshell design for easy paper loading. The printer is shock protected
`
`and weatherproofed so as to be usable outdoors in most conditions, and it has an optional bi-
`
`directional, dual track, magnetic card reader, which makes it ideal for hospitality applications.
`
`“We are excited about the alliance with Comtec,” said Keith McNally, CEO of Ameranth, “because
`
`Comtec provides the best portable printing solutions in the world and because Comtec is a f1rst—rate
`
`engineering organization that focuses on portable printing and that can be counted on to provide
`
`industry leadership in that area for years to come. Comtec consistently delivers rugged, durable,
`
`easy—to-use, state-of—the-art products. They are an ideal partner for Ameranth, because we can
`
`depend on them to have their part of system development completely covered.”

`
`Robert Petteruti, Comtec’s President and COO, echoed his counterpart’s sentiments. “We strive to
`design and manufacture the finest portable printing solutions in the world,’’ he explained, “but it
`takes an association such as this new alliance with Ameranth to really project our printers into new
`and explosive markets. Partners like Ameranth give us an extra dimension. They integrate our
`equipment into expert systems that profit business segments that are new to us. This helps us, it
`helps Ameranth, and I am especially impressed by the potential we now have to help a whole new
`class of customers in the Hospitality Industry.”
`
`The first of new products resulting from the Ameranth-Comtec alliance will be introduced at this
`year’s National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show in Chicago, May 22-25. In addition to
`appearing at booth 6254 at the NRA Show, Ameranth will showcase its new products at the HITEC
`Exhibition in Atlanta, June 22-24; the Western Foodservice & Hospitality Expo in Los Angeles,
`August 21-23; the Multi-Unit Foodservice Operator Show (MUFSO) in Dallas, September 12-15;
`the World Gaming Congress & Expo in Las Vegas, September 14-15; the Foodservice Technology
`Show (FSTEC ’99) in Dallas, November 1-3; and the International Hotel, Motel, and Restaurant
`
`Show in New York, November 6-9.
