`
`Founded in 1994 as a joint venture between Fujitsu Limited of Japan and
`Joel Ronning, President and CEO of Tech Squared, Inc., Digital River
`was created to enable the secure transmission of digital information.
`The explosive growth of world wide computer networks including the
`Internet and the proliferation of high capacity rewritable store media
`offers a new and highly efficient venues for distribution of Digital Data.
`With two years of development and seven pending patents on it's
`technology, Digital River offers software publishers and resellers the
`secure, turn-key capacity to deliver their products digitally to customers
`via the Internet or on a wide variety of storage media.
`
`The key advantages to digital delivery of software include:
`
`• Immediate delivery of product with little or no cost of goods
`• Low risk of stock obsolence
`• Lower shipping and handling costs
`• Reduced "time to market"
`• Powerful marketing options
`• Wide distribution with 100% user registration
`• Environmentally friendly
`
`These efficiencies of distribution allow for attractive pricing for endusers
`with higher profit margins for publishers and vendors.
`
`Digital River's products and services make these benefits available to
`manufacturers, dealers and customers now. Current offerings include:
`• Digital River's Secure Sales System (SSS) brings together software
`manufacturers and dealers enabling them to sell and deliver product
`via the Internet. This service will provide all digital delivery,
`security, collections and reporting of the sale of software.

`
`transaction is being processed by the manufacturer or dealer while
`the Digital River SSS is handling the whole transaction "behind the
`scenes".
`
`• Digital River's Self Encrypted Application System (SEAS) and
`Browser Encrypted System allow for the free distribution of
`encrypted Macintosh software so that users may use the software a
`limited number of times on a trial basis. If the user then wants to
`purchase the software, they need only call a toll free number to
`receive a decryption code. If they choose not to purchase the
`software, it may be erased or will self-destruct after 10 trial uses.
`These "digital" packages are delivered to the customer with a
`familiar, intuitive and standard interface.
`
`A key advantage to a partnership with Digital River
`is the high level of service offered by the company,
`including customization of Web presentation so that
`the SSS remains behind the scenes, rapid posting of
`new software and new versions, and of course timely
`reporting and payment on all software sales. Included
`in the reporting will be each customers name,
`address, phone number and a user profile that will provide
`manufacturers and dealers with unprecedented marketing opportunities
`in the future.
