PROXY STATEMENT
IN CONNECTION WITH ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THEGLOBE.COM, INC. ("THEGLOBE", "WE" OR "US") IS

VOTING RIGHTS AND SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

PURPOSE OF THE ANNUAL MEETING

The specific proposals to be considered and acted upon at the Annual Meeting are
summarized in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting. Each proposal is
described in more detail in this proxy statement.

RECORD DATE AND SHARES OUTSTANDING

Stockholders of record who owned common stock or Series H Preferred Stock at the
close of business on October 6, 2004 (the "Record Date") are entitled to notice
of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the Record Date, 155,777,941 shares of
common stock and 175,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock (convertible into
17,500,000 shares of common stock as of the record date) were issued and
outstanding. The common stock and Series H Preferred Stock (on an as converted
basis) vote together as a single class on the election of directors and, except
as provided by law and by the terms of the Series H Preferred Stock, on all
other matters. In accordance with its terms, the Series H Preferred Stock is not
entitled to vote on Proposal 2 below, relating to the amendment to our
authorized capital. The closing price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin
Board on the Record Date was $0.47 per share.

REVOCABILITY AND VOTING OF PROXIES

Any person signing a proxy in the form accompanying this proxy statement has the
power to revoke it prior to the Annual Meeting or at the Annual Meeting prior to
the vote pursuant to the proxy. A proxy may be revoked by any of the following
methods:

o by writing a letter delivered to Robin S. Lebowitz, Corporate
Secretary of theglobe.com, stating that the proxy is revoked;

o by submitting another proxy with a later date; or

o by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

Please note, however, that if a stockholder's shares are held of record by a
broker, bank or other nominee and that stockholder wishes to vote at the Annual
Meeting, the stockholder must bring to the Annual Meeting a letter from the
broker, bank or other nominee confirming that stockholder's beneficial ownership
of the shares. Shares of common stock represented by properly executed proxies
will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions
indicated on the proxies, unless the proxies have been revoked.

Unless we receive specific instructions to the contrary, properly executed
proxies will be voted: (i) FOR the election of each of theglobe.com's nominees
as a director (Proposal 1); (ii) FOR the approval of the amendment to the
certificate of incorporation of the corporation to increase the total authorized
shares of common stock from 200,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares (Proposal 2);
(iii) FOR the approval of theglobe's 2000 Stock Option Plan, as amended and
restated (Proposal 3); and (iv) FOR any other matters that may come before the
Annual Meeting, at the discretion of the proxy holders. theglobe.com does not
presently anticipate any other business will be presented for vote at the Annual
Meeting.

LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS

A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available
at the Annual Meeting and for ten days prior to the Annual Meeting during
regular business hours at our offices 110 East Broward Boulevard, Suite 1400,
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, by contacting Robin S. Lebowitz, Corporate Secretary
of theglobe.com.

VOTING AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Each share of common stock outstanding on the Record Date will be entitled to
one (1) vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including
the election of directors. Each share of Series H Preferred Stock is entitled to
a number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the
Series H Preferred Stock is convertible, on all matters other than Proposal 2 as
to which the Series H Preferred Stock will not vote. As of the record date, each
share of Series H Preferred Stock was convertible into one hundred shares of
common stock. Accordingly, other than with respect to Proposal 2, the holders of
Series H Preferred Stock will be entitled to cast an aggregate of 17,500,000
votes and the holders of common stock will be entitled to cast an aggregate of
155,777,941 votes. Cumulative voting by stockholders is not permitted.

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the votes
entitled to be cast by the stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting
is necessary to constitute a quorum. Abstentions and broker "non-votes" are
counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A
broker "non-vote" occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner
does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have
discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received
instructions from the beneficial owner.

A plurality of the votes cast by the holders of common stock and the holders of
Series H Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, is required for the
election of Directors (Proposal 1). A vote of the holders of a majority of the
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock is required to amend the Company's
certificate of incorporation as contemplated by Proposal 2. A majority of the
votes cast by the holders of common stock and the holders of Series H Preferred
Stock, voting together as a single class, is required to approve the 2000 Stock
Option Plan, as amended and restated. (Proposal 3). Abstentions and broker
"non-votes" are not counted for purposes of Proposals 1 and 3.

SOLICITATION

We will pay the costs relating to this proxy statement, the proxy and the Annual
Meeting. We may reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing
beneficial owners of shares for their expenses in forwarding solicitation
material to beneficial owners. Directors, officers and regular employees may
also solicit proxies. They will not receive any additional compensation for the
solicitation.

BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

Including unanimous written actions of the Board, the Board of Directors met
fourteen times in 2003. No incumbent director who was on the Board for the
entire year attended less than 75% of the total number of all meetings of the
Board and any committees of the Board on which he or she served, if any, during
2003.

The Board of Directors has a standing Audit and Compensation Committee but no
standing Nominating Committee.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee, which was formed in July 1998, reviews,
acts on and reports to the Board of Directors with respect to various auditing
and accounting matters, including the selection of our independent auditors, the
scope of the annual audits, fees to be paid to the auditors, the performance of
our auditors and our accounting practices and internal controls. The Audit
Committee operates pursuant to a written charter, as amended, adopted by the
Board of Directors on June 12, 2000. The current members of the Audit Committee
are Messrs. Egan and Cespedes and Ms. Lebowitz, all of whom are employee
directors. None of the current committee members are considered "independent"
within the meaning of applicable NASD rules. Ms. Lebowitz serves as the "audit
committee financial expert" as required by Section 407 of Sarbanes, but is not
considered independent within the meaning of applicable NASD rules. Including
unanimous written actions of the Committee, the Audit Committee held five
meetings in 2003.

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee, which met eight times in
2003 (including unanimous written actions of the Committee), establishes
salaries, incentives and other forms of compensation for officers and other
employees of theglobe.com. The Compensation Committee (as well as the entire
Board of Directors) also approves option grants under all of our outstanding
stock based incentive plans. The current members of the Compensation Committee
are Messrs. Egan and Cespedes.

Nominating Committee. The Board of Directors does not have a separate nominating
committee. Rather, the entire Board of Directors acts as nominating committee.
Based on the Company's Board currently consisting only of employee directors,
the Board of Directors does not believe the Company would derive any significant
benefit from a separate nominating committee. Due primarily to their status as
employees of the Company, none of the members of the Board are "independent" as
defined in the NASD listing standards. The Company does not have a Nominating
Committee charter.

In recommending director candidates in the future, the Board intends to take
into consideration such factors as it deems appropriate based on the Company's
current needs. These factors may include diversity, age, skills, decision-making
ability, inter-personal skills, experience with businesses and other
organizations of comparable size, community activities and relationships, and
the interrelationship between the candidate's experience and business
background, and other Board members' experience and business background, whether
such candidate would be considered "independent", as such term is defined in the
NASD listing standards, as well as the candidate's ability to devote the
required time and effort to serve on the Board.

The Board will consider for nomination by the Board director candidates
recommended by Stockholders if the Stockholders comply with the following
requirements. Under our By-Laws, if a stockholder wishes to nominate a director
at the Annual Meeting, we must receive the stockholder's written notice not less
than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the date of the annual meeting,
unless we give our stockholders less than 70 days' notice of the date of our
Annual Meeting. If we provide less than 70 days' notice, then we must receive
the stockholder's written notice by the close of business on the 10th day after
we provide notice of the date of the Annual Meeting. The notice must contain the
specific information required in our By-Laws. A copy of our By-Laws may be
obtained by writing to the Corporate Secretary. If we receive a stockholder's
proposal within the time periods required under our By-Laws, we may choose, but
are not required, to include it in our proxy statement. If we do, we may tell
the other stockholders what we think of the proposal, and how we intend to use
our discretionary authority to vote on the proposal. All proposals should be
made in writing and sent via registered, certified or express mail, to our
executive offices, 110 East Broward Boulevard, Suite 1400, Fort Lauderdale,
Florida 33301, Attention: Robin S. Lebowitz, Corporate Secretary.

Shareholder Communications with the Board of Directors. Any shareholder who
wishes to send communications to the Board of Directors should mail them
addressed to the intended recipient by name or position in care of: Corporate
Secretary, theglobe.com, inc., 110 East Broward Boulevard, Suite 1400, Fort
Lauderdale, Florida, 33301. Upon receipt of any such communications, the
Corporate Secretary will determine the identity of the intended recipient and
whether the communication is an appropriate shareholder communication. The
Corporate Secretary will send all appropriate shareholder communications to the
intended recipient. An "appropriate shareholder communication" is a
communication from a person claiming to be a shareholder in the communication,
the subject of which relates solely to the sender's interest as a shareholder
and not to any other personal or business interest.

In the case of communications addressed to the Board of Directors, the Corporate
Secretary will send appropriate shareholder communications to the Chairman of
the Board. In the case of communications addressed to any particular directors,
the Corporate Secretary will send appropriate shareholder communications to such
director. In the case of communications addressed to a committee of the board,
the Corporate Secretary will send appropriate shareholder communications to the
Chairman of such committee.

The Board of Directors encourages, but does not require, its directors to attend
the Company's annual meeting of stockholders. Last year, all of the Company's
directors attended the annual meeting.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Directors who are also our employees receive no compensation for serving on our
Board or committees. We reimburse non-employee directors for all travel and
other expenses incurred in connection with attending Board and committee
meetings. Non-employee directors are also eligible to receive automatic stock
option grants under our 1998 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated. As of
December 31, 2003 there were no directors who met this definition.

Each director who becomes an eligible non-employee director for the first time
receives an initial grant of options to acquire 25,000 shares of our common
stock. In addition, each eligible non-employee director will receive an annual
grant of options to acquire 7,500 shares of our common stock on the first
business day following each annual meeting of stockholders that occurs while the
1998 Stock Option Plan or 2000 Stock Option Plan is in effect. These stock
options will be granted with per share exercise prices equal to the fair market
value of our common stock as of the date of grant.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE FOUR
NOMINEES AS DIRECTORS OF THEGLOBE.COM.

We will vote your shares as you specify on the enclosed proxy card. If you do
not specify how you want your shares voted, we will vote them FOR the election
of all the nominees listed above. If unforeseen circumstances (such as death or
disability) make it necessary for the Board of Directors to substitute another
person for any of the nominees, we will vote your shares FOR that other person.
The Board of Directors does not presently anticipate that any nominee will be
unable to serve.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF THE CORPORATION
TO INCREASE THE TOTAL AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

The Amendment

The Board of Directors has proposed to amend the Corporation's Certificate of
Incorporation for the purpose of increasing the number of authorized shares of
Common Stock of the Corporation from two hundred million (200,000,000) shares to
five hundred million (500,000,000) shares (the "Certificate of Amendment"). A
copy of the proposed Certificate of Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
If the Certificate of Amendment is approved at the Annual Meeting, the
Corporation intends to promptly sign the Certificate of Amendment and file the
same with the Delaware Secretary of State. The amendment will not affect the
number of shares of preferred stock authorized, which is 3,000,000 shares, $.001
par value per share, nor the ability of the Board of Directors to issue the
preferred stock, without further stockholder approval, in series with such
relative rights, preferences, terms and limitations as the Board shall
determine.

The additional shares of Common Stock for which authorization is sought herein
would be part of the existing class of Common Stock and, if and when issued,
would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of Common Stock
presently outstanding. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or other
subscription rights.

Reasons for the Amendment

Shares Currently Outstanding or Reserved for Future Issuance.

The Board of Directors believes that increasing the number of authorized shares
is essential to ensure that the Corporation will continue to have an adequate
number of shares of Common Stock available for future issuance. As of the record
date of October 6, 2004, the Company had issued and outstanding 155,777,941
shares of Common Stock. In addition, as of the record date, the Company had
outstanding options and warrants to acquire approximately 15,244,000 and
18,463,000 shares, respectively, of its Common Stock. Many of the options and
warrants require the Company to reserve shares of Common Stock for potential
issuance upon the exercise or conversion of such securities. In addition to the
warrants issued and outstanding described above, the Company also holds in
escrow warrants to acquire up to 2,250,000 shares, subject to release over
approximately the next two years (some of which may accelerate under certain
events) upon the attainment of certain performance objectives. Similarly,
pursuant to the terms of our acquisition of SendTec, Inc. on September 1, 2004
(the SendTec Acquisition") we may issue warrants ranging in number from 250,000
to 2,500,000 shares if SendTec exceeds certain forecasted operating income for
the year ending December 31, 2005. The Company also holds an option to acquire
an Internet related company, pursuant to which, if the Company exercised the
option, it would issue an additional 1,500,000 shares of its Common Stock.
Consequently, substantially all of the Company's Common Stock (approximately 196
million shares) is issued or reserved for issuance at the present time.

The Company also has available for future issuance approximately 2,626,000
shares under its stock options plans. Subject to the approval of Proposal No. 3
(relating to our 2000 Stock Option Plan as amended and restated), an additional
7,500,000 shares will also be available for future issuance under that Plan.
Assuming Proposal No. 3 is approved, the Company anticipates that it will issue
up to approximately 4,500,000 performance based stock options from such Plan.

Relationship to, and Effect on, the Recently Completed SendTec
Acquisition.

In connection with the SendTec Acquisition, the Company issued 175,000 shares of
Series H Preferred Stock. Those shares are convertible into approximately
17,500,000 shares of Common Stock. These shares of Series H Preferred Stock will
automatically convert into additional shares of our Common Stock upon the filing
of the Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State.
Accordingly, approval of the proposal to adopt the Certificate of Amendment will
enable us to cause the automatic conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock as
originally intended by management.

In the event that the proposal to adopt the Certificate of Amendment is not
approved for any reason at the Annual Meeting then on the 10th day following the
failure to approve the Certificate of Amendment, the Series H Preferred Stock
will automatically convert into whatever number of shares of Common Stock which
we then have remaining available for issuance (after giving affect to shares our
Common Stock reserved for issuance under previously outstanding options and
warrants), less up to 3 million additional shares of Common Stock as may be
designated by theglobe. The Company currently does not have sufficient available
authorized shares of common stock to permit the conversion of all of the Series
H Preferred Stock. We will only have enough shares of Common Stock if the
Certificate of Amendment is approved.

With regard to any shares of Series H Preferred Stock which are not
automatically converted into shares of Common Stock, the holders of the Series H
Preferred Stock may elect to convert them into a subordinated promissory note (a
"Conversion Note"). If issued, the Conversion Note will be due in one lump sum
on the later of the first anniversary of its issuance or December 31, 2005 and
will bear interest at the rate of 4% per annum. The principal amount of the
Conversion Note would be equal to the product of:

(A) the number of shares of our Common Stock that would have been issued
upon conversion of the remaining shares of the Series H Preferred Stock if
there were sufficient shares available for that purpose; and

(B) the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value, as defined, of our Common
Stock in the 20 trading days immediately prior to the conversion date and
(ii) $0.83.

If none of the remaining shares of Series H Preferred Stock were converted into
Common Stock, the maximum principal amount of the Conversion Note (based upon
the maximum conversion rate of $0.83 per share) would be approximately $14.5
million. Management believes that our liquidity would be adversely affected if
we are required to issue the Conversion Note. We would likely need to raise
significant capital and our financial condition may also be adversely affected.

A vote in FAVOR of the Certificate of Amendment will aid in its approval and
adoption and will lead to the automatic conversion of the Series H Preferred
Stock into shares of Common Stock. A vote AGAINST the Certificate of Amendment
may hinder or, if the total number of votes against is sufficiently high,
prevent, its approval and adoption. In that event, many of the Series H
Preferred Stock would not be converted into shares of our Common Stock and the
holders of the Series H Preferred Stock could elect to convert them into the
Conversion Note. See "The SendTec Acquisition" elsewhere in this proxy statement
for further information relating to the acquisition of SendTec and the terms of
the Series H Preferred Stock.

Five of the former shareholders of SendTec (whom collectively received
approximately 82% of the shares of Common Stock issued in the Merger, together
with theglobe's Chairman, Michael Egan (together with certain affiliates which
he controls), have agreed to vote (or have granted proxies to so vote) in favor
of the Certificate of Amendment.

Our Low Trading Price Has Required that We Issue Large Amounts of our
Common Stock.

From January 1, 2004 through the Record Date, the Company's Common Stock has
traded on the OTC Bulletin Board at prices ranging from $.20 to $1.44. As a
result, the Company has needed to issue large amounts of Common Stock or
instruments exercisable or convertible into Common Stock in order to raise any
significant equity capital or to make acquisitions. The closing price of our
common stock on the Record Date was $0.47 per share. The Company may need to
raise significant additional capital in order to pursue its business plans and,
if successful in raising such capital, will likely issue a substantial number of
additional shares of Common Stock or securities exercisable for, or convertible
into, Common Stock.

Effect and Purpose of Proposed Certificate of Amendment

The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interest of the
Corporation to have additional shares of Common Stock authorized so that we may
cause the automatic conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock which we issued
in the SendTec Acquisition. See "The SendTec Acquisition." In addition, the
Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interest of the Corporation
to have additional shares of Common Stock authorized and available for issuance
in order to meet future requirements of the Corporation, which may include
issuances of securities to fund operations of the Company, to fund acquisitions
of the Company, to meet future financing needs of the Corporation, to allow for
additional option grants pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plans, to
effect stock splits or declare stock dividends, and for other corporate
purposes.

The Board of Directors does not intend to issue any Common Stock or securities
exercisable or convertible into Common Stock except on terms that the Board
deems to be in the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders.

If you authorize us to increase our authorized common stock, we will not be
required to seek your approval for the issuance of any of the additional shares
in connection with financing transactions or any other transaction, unless our
Common Stock becomes listed on a securities exchange or is admitted to quotation
on the NASDAQ Stock Market and the listing standards of that securities market
require us to seek your approval. Therefore, your interest in our company could
be substantially diluted without your approval.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE
CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT.

We will vote your shares as you specify on the enclosed proxy card. If you do
not specify how you want your shares voted, we will vote them FOR the
Certificate of Amendment.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

APPROVAL OF THE 2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN,
AS AMENDED AND RESTATED

The Board of Directors proposes that theglobe's stockholders approve theglobe's
2000 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated as of December 1, 2004 (the
"2000 Stock Option Plan"). The 2000 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated
provides for:

o an increase in the number of shares of common stock reserved for
issuance under the 2000 Stock Option Plan by an additional 7,500,000
shares (resulting in an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares being issuable
under the 2000 Stock Option Plan); and

o removal of the limitation on the number of options that may be
awarded to any individual.

PURPOSE OF THE PROPOSAL

During 1995, the Company established the 1995 Stock Option Plan, which was
amended by the Board of Directors in 1996. With the rapid growth of our
personnel and the increased competition to attract and retain talented
individuals we established the 1998 Stock Option Plan in July 1998, which was
adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by our stockholders. We
originally reserved 2,400,000 shares of common stock for issuance under this
plan. In March 1999, less than 5,000 shares remained available for grant under
the 1998 Stock Option Plan. As a result, the Board of Directors approved an
increase of one million (1,000,000) shares for issuance under the 1998 Stock
Option Plan. The increase was approved by our stockholders in June 1999. In
January 2000, the Board adopted the 2000 Broad Based Employee Stock Option Plan.
We have reserved 850,000 shares of common stock for issuance under this plan.
Our intention was that at least 50% of the options granted under the 2000 Broad
Based Employee Stock Option Plan will be granted to individuals who are not
managers or officers of theglobe.

As our personnel base continued to grow and our ability to attract and retain
key employees became increasingly difficult, the Board adopted an additional
stock plan, the 2000 Stock Option Plan which was approved by our stockholders in
June 2000. 500,000 shares of common stock were previously reserved for issuance
under the 2000 Stock Option Plan. The 2000 Stock Option Plan is substantially
the same as the 1998 Stock Option Plan. The primary differences between the two
plans are that the 2000 Stock Option Plan does not provide for automatic
accelerated vesting in connection with certain change of control transactions
and the 2000 Stock Option Plan gives to theglobe the ability to grant restricted
stock awards. These items are discussed in detail below.

The Board of Directors has also adopted theglobe.com, inc. 2003 Amended &
Restated Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "2003 Non-Qualified Stock Option
Plan") and theglobe.com, inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2004 Stock
Incentive Plan"). Both of these plans were initially adopted for limited
purposes and neither of these plans has been approved by our stockholders. The
2003 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified
stock options to certain employees and consultants of theglobe or its
subsidiaries. The 2004 Stock Incentive Plan was primarily adopted in connection
with the SendTec Acquisition and is more fully described commencing on page __
herein.

As of the Record Date, there were approximately 88,000 shares available for
future grant under the 1998 Stock Option Plan, approximately 13,000 shares
available for future grant under the 2000 Broad Based Employee Stock Option
Plan, and approximately 56,000 shares available for future grant under the 2000
Stock Option Plan. In addition, there were approximately 194,000 shares
available for future grant under the 2003 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan and
approximately 2,275,000 shares available for future grant under the 2004 Stock
Incentive Plan. In order to continue to provide key individuals with awards and
incentives commensurate with their contributions and competitive with those
offered by other employers, the Compensation Committee determined that it was in
our best interest to increase the number of shares with respect to which options
may be granted under the 2000 Stock Option Plan. Consequently, in October 2004
our Board of Directors approved an amendment and restatement of the 2000 Stock
Option Plan, subject to approval by our stockholders, to (i) increase the number
of shares of common stock available for grant under the 2000 Stock Option Plan,
and (ii) remove the limit on the maximum number of options that may be awarded
to any eligible individual under the 2000 Stock Option Plan. The Board of
Directors believes that these increases will increase stockholder value by
further aligning the interests of key individuals with the interests of our
stockholders by providing a greater opportunity to benefit from stock price
appreciation that generally accompanies improved financial performance.

GENERAL

The following summary of the 2000 Stock Option Plan is subject, in its entirety,
to the specific language of the 2000 Stock Option Plan, a copy of which is
attached to the proxy statement as Exhibit A.

Our 2000 Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on April 28,
2000 and has been approved by our stockholders. 500,000 shares of common stock
were initially reserved for issuance under the 2000 Stock Option Plan. As of the
Record Date, options to purchase approximately 444,000 shares were outstanding
under the 2000 Stock Option Plan and approximately 56,000 shares were available
for future grant under the 2000 Stock Option Plan prior to its amendment and
restatement.

DESCRIPTION OF THE 2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN

PURPOSE. The Board of Directors believes that our long term success is dependent
upon our ability to attract and retain highly qualified individuals who, by
virtue of their ability and qualifications, make important contributions to
theglobe. The 2000 Stock Option Plan is intended to strengthen us by providing
an incentive to our employees, officers, consultants and directors and thereby
encourage them to devote their abilities to the success of our business
enterprise. We believe that grants of stock options and restricted stock
motivate high levels of performance and provide an effective means of
recognizing employee contributions to the success of theglobe. At present, most
newly hired full-time employees are granted options. We believe that this policy
is of great value in recruiting and retaining highly qualified technical and
other key personnel who are in demand in the industry. The Board believes that
the ability to grant options and restricted stock will be important to our
future success by allowing us to remain competitive in attracting and retaining
key personnel.

ADMINISTRATION. The 2000 Stock Option Plan is administered by a committee of the
Board of Directors (the "Committee"). Pursuant to the terms of the 2000 Stock
Option Plan, the Committee may consist of the full Board of Directors or may
consist of at least two non-employee directors. Accordingly, until such time as
non-employee directors are appointed to the Board of Directors, the Board of
Directors shall act as the Committee. All questions of interpretation of the
2000 Stock Option Plan are determined by the Committee, and its determinations
are final and binding upon all participants. Generally, the Committee (1)
approves those persons to whom options and other awards will be granted, and (2)
determines the terms and conditions of options and other awards, including the
purchase price per share of options and the vesting provisions of all awards.
Each of the Committee and the entire Board has the authority to make amendments
or modifications to outstanding options and other awards consistent with the
2000 Stock Option Plan's terms.

ELIGIBILITY. Any of our employees, officers, consultants, advisors or directors
are eligible to participate in the 2000 Stock Option Plan. Incentive stock
options, qualified under Section 422 of the Code, may be granted only to
employees, including officers of theglobe. Nonqualified stock options and shares
of restricted stock may be granted to our employees, directors, consultants or
other independent advisors.

OPTIONS.

Employee Options. The Committee may grant both incentive stock options and
nonqualified stock options to eligible individuals. Each stock option is
evidenced by a stock option agreement between theglobe and the person to whom
such option is granted. The exercise price of stock options under the 2000 Stock
Option Plan are determined by the Committee. In the case of an incentive stock
option, the exercise price must not be less than 100% of the fair market value
of the common stock on the date the option is granted (except that in the case
of an option granted to a stockholder who, immediately prior to such grant, owns
stock representing more than 10% of the voting power or value of all classes of
stock of theglobe, the exercise price must not be less than 110% of such fair
market value). Stock options vest and become exercisable as determined by the
Committee at grant, Special rules may apply in the case of an optionee's death
or disability.

Formula Options. Each director who becomes an eligible non-employee
director for the first time receives an initial grant of options to acquire
25,000 shares of our common stock. In addition, each eligible non-employee
director will receive an annual grant of options to acquire 7,500 shares of our
common stock ("Formula Options") on the first business day following each annual
meeting of stockholders that occurs while the 1998 Stock Option Plan or 2000
Stock Option Plan is in effect. At the time when no further shares are available
for future grant under the 1998 Stock Option Plan, the Formula Options will
continue to be granted under the 2000 Stock Option Plan. The purchase price per
share for shares under each Formula Option will be equal to 100% of the fair
market value of a share on the date of grant. If an optionee's service as a
director terminates for any reason other than "cause" (as defined under the 2000
Stock Option Plan), the Formula Options become fully vested and may be exercised
at any time within two years of termination. If a director's service terminates
for cause, the Formula Options immediately terminate.

Term. Each stock option terminates on the tenth anniversary of grant
unless terminated earlier, or if later, the first anniversary of the date of the
optionee's death, if such death occurs prior to the tenth anniversary.

Nontransferability of Options. An option may not be transferred other than
by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, in the case of an option
other than an incentive stock option, pursuant to a domestic relations order. An
option shall be exercisable during the lifetime of such optionee only by the
optionee or his or her guardian or legal representative. The Committee may,
however, set forth in an option agreement (other than for an incentive stock
option) that the option may be transferred to an immediate family member, trusts
solely for the benefit of such immediate family members, and partnerships in
which such family members and trusts are the only partners. Such permitted
transferee shall be deemed to be the optionee.

RESTRICTED STOCK. The Committee will determine the terms of each restricted
stock award at the time of grant, including the price, if any, to be paid by the
grantee for the restricted stock and the restrictions placed on the shares, if
any. In addition, at the time of grant, the Committee, in its discretion, may
decide:

o whether any deferred dividends will be held for the grantee or
deferred until the restriction lapses;

o whether any deferred dividends will be reinvested in additional
shares of common stock or held in cash;

o whether interest will accrue on any dividends that are not
reinvested in additional shares of restricted stock; and

o whether any stock dividends paid will be subject to the restrictions
applicable to the restricted stock award.

Shares of restricted stock are non-transferable until all restrictions upon such
shares lapse.

ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. In the event of certain changes in
capitalization of theglobe, the Committee will adjust the maximum number and
class of shares or other stock or securities with respect to which options and
restricted stock awards may be granted under the 2000 Stock Option Plan or to
any eligible individual in any three consecutive calendar year period, the
number and class of shares or other stock or securities which are subject to
outstanding options and restricted stock awards and the purchase price
therefore, if applicable.

CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of a merger or consolidation of theglobe with or
into another corporation, or a sale of substantially all of theglobe's assets,
each outstanding option and award of restricted stock shall be assumed, or an
equivalent option or award of restricted stock will be substituted, by the
successor company. The options and awards will remain subject to all conditions
and restrictions applicable prior to the assumption or substitution. In the
event that the successor company refuses to or does not assume the outstanding
options and awards, or in the event that the Committee accelerates the
exercisability of the options and/or vesting of restricted stock, the Committee
may authorize the redemption of the shares and/or the unexercised portion of the
options outstanding for an amount equal to the consideration payable per share
of Common Stock in connection with any transaction described above less, in the
case of options, the purchase price per share subject to the option.

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Board of Directors may at any time or from time
to time amend, modify, suspend or terminate the 2000 Stock Option Plan. However,
no amendment, modification, suspension or termination may adversely effect any
outstanding options or awards of restricted stock without the optionee's
consent. The 2000 Stock Option Plan will terminate by its terms no later than
April 28, 2010.

AWARDS UNDER THE 2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN

Grants under the 2000 Stock Option Plan are made at the discretion of the
Committee. Consequently, theglobe cannot currently determine the number of
additional shares of common stock that may be subject to options granted in the
future under the 2000 Stock Option Plan.

Approximately 125 individuals are eligible to participate in the 2000 Stock
Option Plan. As of the Record Date the market price of a share of our common
stock was $0.47. There were approximately 444,000 options and no restricted
stock granted to employees under the 2000 Stock Option Plan as of the Record
Date.

CERTAIN TAX INFORMATION

Options granted under the 2000 Stock Option Plan may be either "incentive stock
options," as defined in Section 422 of the Code, or "nonqualified stock
options."

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION. An incentive stock option results in no taxable income
to the optionee or a deduction to us at the time it is granted or exercised.
However, upon the exercise of an incentive stock option, the excess of the fair
market value on the date of exercise of the shares received over the exercise
price of the option will be an item of tax preference and may result in an
alternative minimum tax liability for the grantee. If the optionee holds the
stock received as a result of an exercise of an incentive stock option for more
than two years from the date of the grant and one year from the date of
exercise, then the gain from the sale of the stock is treated as long-term
capital gain. If the shares are disposed of during this period, the option will
be treated as a non-qualified stock option. We receive a tax deduction only if
the shares are disposed of during such period. Subject to satisfying applicable
reporting requirements and Section 162(m) of the Code, the amount of the
deduction is equal to the amount of taxable income to the optionee.

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION. A non-qualified stock option results in no taxable
income to the optionee or deduction to us at the time it is granted. An optionee
exercising such an option will, at that time, realize taxable compensation in
the amount of the difference between the option price and the then fair market
value of the shares. Subject to satisfying applicable reporting requirements and
Section 162(m) of the Code, theglobe will be entitled to a deduction in the same
amount.

The discussion above assumes that at the time of exercise, the sale of the
shares at a profit would not subject an optionee to liability under Section
16(b) of the Exchange Act. Special rules may apply with respect to persons who
may be subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Participants who are or may
become subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act should consult with their own
tax advisors in this regard.

EXCISE TAXES. Under certain circumstances, the accelerated vesting or exercise
of options in connection with a change in control involving us might be
considered an "excess parachute payment" for purposes of the golden parachute
tax provisions of Section 280G of the Code. To the extent those provisions
apply, an optionee may be subject to a 20% excise tax and we or our subsidiaries
or affiliates may be denied a tax deduction.

SECTION 162(M). Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a federal income
tax deduction to any publicly held corporation for compensation paid to certain
"covered employees" in excess of $1 million in any taxable year. "Covered
employees" are a company's chief executive officer on the last day of the
taxable year and any other individual whose compensation is required to be
reported to stockholders in its proxy statement under the Exchange Act. There
are certain exceptions from this deduction limitation, however, awards under the
2000 Stock Option Plan will not satisfy any of these exceptions.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THEGLOBE'S 2000
STOCK OPTION PLAN, AS AMENDED AND RESTATED.

We will vote your shares as you specify on the enclosed proxy card. If you do
not specify how you want your shares voted, we will vote them FOR approval of
the 2000 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial
ownership of our common stock as of the record date of October 6, 2004 by (i)
each person who owns beneficially more than 5% of our common stock, (ii) each of
our directors, (iii) each of the officers named in the table under the heading
"Executive Compensation-Summary Compensation Table," for 2003 (our "Named
Executive Officers"), and (iv) all directors and executive officers as a group.
A total of 155,777,941 shares of theglobe.com's common stock were issued and
outstanding on October 6, 2004 and 175,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock
(convertible under certain circumstances into 17,500,000 shares of common stock
as of the record date) were issued and outstanding as of such date.

The amounts and percentage of common stock beneficially owned are reported on
the basis of regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the
rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if
that person has or shares "voting power," which includes the power to vote or to
direct the voting of such security, or "investment power," which includes the
power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is
also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has
a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under these rules, more
than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities and a
person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such
person has no economic interest. Unless otherwise indicated below, the address
of each person named in the table below is in care of theglobe.com, inc., P.O.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

ARRANGEMENTS WITH ENTITIES CONTROLLED BY VARIOUS DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. On
November 14, 2002, E & C Capital Partners, LLLP ("E&C Partners"), a privately
held investment holding company owned by Michael S. Egan, our Chairman and CEO
and a major stockholder, and Edward A. Cespedes, our President and a Director,
entered into a non-binding letter of intent with theglobe.com to provide
$500,000 of new financing via the purchase of shares of a new Series F Preferred
Stock of theglobe.com. On March 28, 2003, the parties signed a Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement and other related documentation pertaining to the investment
and closed on the investment. Pursuant to the Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement, E & C Capital Partners received 333,333 shares of Series F Preferred
Stock convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $0.03
per share. The conversion price was subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of
certain events, including downward adjustment on a weighted-average basis in the
event the Company issued securities at a purchase price below $0.03 per share.
If fully converted, and without regard to the anti-dilutive adjustment
mechanisms applicable to the Series F Preferred Stock, an aggregate of
approximately 16,666,650 million shares of Common Stock would be issuable. The
Series F Preferred Stock had a liquidation preference of $1.50 per share (and
was thereafter entitled to participate with the Common Stock on an "as
converted" basis), and was entitled to a dividend at the rate of 8% per annum if
and to the extent declared by the board and was also entitled to participate in
any dividend declared on the Company's common stock. The Series F Preferred
Stock also was entitled to vote on an "as converted" basis with the holders of
Common Stock. In addition, as part of the $500,000 investment, E & C Partners
received warrants to purchase approximately 3.3 million shares of theglobe.com
Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.125 per share. The warrant was
exercisable at any time on or before March 28, 2013. E & C Partners also
received certain demand registration rights in connection with its investment.

On May 22, 2003, E&C Partners and certain trusts, of which Mr. Egan is the
trustee, entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with the Company pursuant to
which they acquired convertible promissory notes (the "Convertible Notes") in
the aggregate principal amount of $1,750,000. The Convertible Notes were
convertible at anytime into shares of the Company's common stock at a blended
rate of $.09 per share (the Convertible Note held by E&C were convertible at
approximately $.079 per share and the Convertible Notes held by the Trusts were
convertible at $.10 per share), which if fully converted, would result in the
issuance of approximately 19,445,000 shares. The Convertible Notes had a one
year maturity date, which could be extended at the option of the holder of the
Note for periods aggregating two years, and was secured by a pledge of
substantially all of the assets of the Company. In addition, E&C Partners was
issued a warrant to acquire 3,888,889 shares of theglobe.com common stock at an
exercise price of $.15 per share. The warrant was exercisable at any time on or
before May 22, 2013. E&C Partners and the trusts are entitled to certain demand
and piggy-back registration rights in connection with their investment.

On February 2, 2004, Michael S. Egan (our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer)
and his wife, S. Jacqueline Egan, entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with
the Company pursuant to which they acquired convertible promissory notes (the
"Bridge Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000. The Bridge
Notes were convertible at anytime into shares of the Company's common stock at
an initial rate of $.98 per share. The conversion rate was initially adjustable
based on an amount equal to the rate at which the Company sold its common stock
in any subsequent qualified private offering (defined as an offering which
raises a minimum of $7.5 million) (or at a 20% discount to such amount,
depending upon the timing of completion, and amount of, such private offering).
This conversion was subsequently adjusted to $.57 per share, which was the
effective per share rate of the subsequent qualified private offering (and which
is referenced elsewhere in this prospectus as the "PIPE Offering"). The Bridge
Notes were due on demand from the holder, and were secured by a pledge of
substantially all of the assets of the Company. The security interest was shared
with the holders of the Company's Secured Convertible Notes in the principal
amount of $1,750,000. The Bridge Notes paid interest at the rate of ten (10)
percent per annum. In addition, the Egans were issued a warrant to acquire
204,082 shares of theglobe.com common stock at an initial exercise price of
$1.22 per share. This warrant is exercisable at any time on or before February
2, 2009. The Egans are entitled to certain demand and piggy-back registration
rights in connection with this investment.

On March 11, 2004, theglobe.com, inc. completed the PIPE Offering. In connection
with the PIPE Offering, Mr. Egan, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and
principal stockholder, together with certain of his affiliates and other
parties, converted the $2,000,000 Bridge Note, the $1,750,000 of Secured
Convertible Notes and all of the Company's outstanding shares of Series F
Preferred Stock, and exercised (on a cashless exercise basis) all of the
warrants issued in connection with the foregoing Secured Convertible Notes and
Series F Preferred Stock, together with certain warrants issued to Dancing Bear
Investments (an affiliate of Mr. Egan). As a result of such conversions and
exercises, the Company issued an aggregate of approximately 48.75 million shares
of Common Stock to such parties.

Interest expense on the $1,750,000 Convertible Notes totaled approximately
$108,200, excluding the amortization of the discount on the Notes, during the
year ended December 31, 2003. The interest remained unpaid at December 31, 2003,
and was included in accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheet. As a
result of the conversion of the $1,750,000 Convertible Notes into the Company's
Common Stock in March 2004, all accrued interest, including approximately
$32,000 relating to the first quarter of 2004, was paid by June 30, 2004. As a
result of the conversion of the $2,000,000 Bridge Note into the Company's Common
Stock in March 2004, accrued interest of approximately $17,500 relating to the
first quarter of 2004 was paid by June 30, 2004

Two of our directors, Mr. Egan and Ms. Lebowitz, also serve as officers and
directors of Dancing Bear Investments, Inc. ("Dancing Bear"). Dancing Bear is a
stockholder of the Company and an entity controlled by Mr. Egan, our Chairman.

Several entities controlled by our Chairman have provided services to the
Company and two of its subsidiaries, including: the lease of office and
warehouse space; and the outsourcing of customer service and warehouse functions
for the Company's VoIP operations.

We sublease approximately 15,000 square feet of office space for our executive
offices from Certified Vacations, a company which is controlled by our Chairman
and CEO Michael Egan. The sublease commenced on September 1, 2003 and expires on
July 31, 2007. The initial base rent is $18.91 per square foot on an annual
basis ($283,650 annually in the aggregate) and will increase on each anniversary
of the sublease by $1.50 per square foot. During 2003, approximately $148,000 of
expense was recorded related to the lease of the office space. During the six
months ended June 30, 2004, approximately $118,000 of expense was recorded
related to the lease of the office space. In addition, from August 2003 through
August 2004 we have outsourced our Customer Service function from Certified
Vacations under renewable short term agreements at incremental cost, for which
we paid an aggregate of $109,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003 and
$111,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Beginning in August, 2003, our subsidiary, Voiceglo Holdings, Inc. ("voiceglo"),
began outsourcing warehouse space and related services from Thomas Street
Logistics LLC, which is controlled by our Chairman and CEO, Michael Egan, and
our President, Edward Cespedes. Our agreement with Thomas Street Logistics
includes secure warehouse space, equipment rental, insurance, utilities, office
space, inventory management, shipping services, personnel and provisioning of
our equipment for $25,000 per month and a nominal shipping and handling fee per
item shipped. Effective, April 15, 2004, voiceglo terminated its arrangement
with Thomas Street Logistics and has transitioned these functions to voiceglo
personnel and warehouse space. During 2003, approximately $126,000 of expense
was recorded for warehouse space and related out-sourcing functions. During the
six months ended June 30, 2004, approximately $110,000 of expense was recorded
for warehouse space and related out-sourcing functions.

In addition, as of August 31, 2004, the Company had advanced approximately
$46,000 to a newly formed entity controlled by our Chairman, Global Voice
Network LLC. The Company is currently negotiating an agreement with Global Voice
Network to provide marketing services to voiceglo for which it will be paid a
commission on new business. We are also leasing certain of our employees and
facilities to Global Voice Network LLC.

ARRANGEMENTS WITH RELATIVES. In March 2004, the Company engaged the services of
Pay the Rent, a company controlled by the son-in-law of our Chairman and CEO,
Michael Egan. Pay the Rent was contracted for the production+, audio and video
post-production, voice-over, and scoring of a television commercial featuring
voiceglo. Payment in full in the amount of $151,200 was remitted during the six
months ended June 30, 2004. In 2003, we reimbursed Pay the Rent $18,013 for
marketing and promotion expenses (at cost) for a separate marketing promotion.

representations referred to in Item 405(b)(2)(i) of Regulation S-K stating that
no Forms 5 were required, we believe that, during the 2003 fiscal year, our
officers and directors have complied with all Section 16(a) applicable filing
requirements.

THE SENDTEC ACQUISITION

We are providing the following information regarding our acquisition of SendTec,
including the description of SendTec's business, certain risk factors relating
to the acquisition and SendTec's business, and financial information relative to
SendTec (both independently and on a pro forma basis with theglobe), due to the
inter-relationship of Proposal No. 2 (relating to a proposed Certificate of
Amendment) to implementing the terms of the acquisition. As more fully set forth
below, the terms of the acquisition of SendTec included the issuance of a new
series of our preferred stock, known as the Series H Preferred Stock. The Series
H Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into shares of our Common
Stock upon the filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware
Secretary of State, but only if the Certificate of Amendment is approved by our
stockholders. See "Proposal No. 2."

TERMS OF THE ACQUISITION

On September 1, 2004, we closed upon an agreement and plan of merger dated
August 31, 2004 (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which we acquired all of
the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of SendTec, Inc., a Florida
corporation based in St. Petersburg, Florida ("SendTec") through a merger of
SendTec with theglobe's wholly owned subsidiary, SendTec Acquisition Corp. (the
"SendTec Acquisition" or the "Merger"). Pursuant to the terms of the merger, in
consideration for the acquisition of SendTec, theglobe paid (or will pay)
consideration consisting of: (i) $6,000,000 in cash, (ii) the issuance of an
aggregate of 17,500,000 shares of theglobe's common stock, (iii) the issuance of
an aggregate of 175,000 shares of Series H Automatically Converting Preferred
Stock (which as more fully described below, is convertible into 17,500,000
shares of theglobe's common stock) (the "Series H Preferred Stock"), and (iv) a
subordinated promissory note in the amount of $1 million (the "Note")
(collectively, the "Initial Merger Consideration"). In addition, warrants to
acquire shares of common stock would be issued to SendTec shareholders when and
if SendTec exceeds forecasted operating income, as defined, of $10.125 million
(the "Income Target"), for the year ending December 31, 2005 (the "Earn-out
Consideration" and collectively with the Initial Merger Consideration, the
"Merger Consideration"). The number of earn-out warrants would range from an
aggregate of 250,000 to 2,500,000 (if actual operating income exceeds the
forecast by at least 10%). If and to the extent the warrants are earned, the
exercise price of the performance warrants would be $0.27 per share and they
will be exercisable for a period of 5 years. The Note bears interest at the rate
of 4% per annum and matures in one lump sum of principal and interest on
September 1, 2005. theglobe paid the cash portion of the consideration issued in
the Merger from funds which it received from its private offering of
approximately $28.6 million in March of 2004.

The Merger Consideration will be distributed pro rata to the shareholders of
SendTec in accordance with their respective ownership interests.

As part of the Merger, 100,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock (convertible
into 10 million shares of common stock) (the "Escrow Shares") are being held in
escrow for potential recovery by us in the event of a breach of the Merger
Agreement by SendTec or its former shareholders. In general, the Escrow Shares,
together with the sums due under the Note, are the sole source of recourse
against the shareholders of SendTec in the event of breach of the Merger
Agreement and theglobe would not have recourse against the cash portion or other
shares of common stock or Series H Preferred Stock distributed to the SendTec
shareholders as part of the Merger Consideration. Assuming no claims are then
pending, the Escrow Shares will be distributed to SendTec shareholders after
expiration of one year from the date of closing.

Except as provided by law, the Series H Preferred Stock will vote with the
holders of common stock on all matters on an "as-converted" basis, other than
the Certificate of Amendment described below as to which it will not vote. The
Series H Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of theglobe's
common stock on a 1 for 100 basis at such time as theglobe files an amendment to
its certificate of incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State's Office
to increase its authorized shares of common stock from 200,000,000 to at least
300,000,000. Proposal No. 2 would accomplish such increase in the Company's
common stock. Five of the former shareholders of SendTec (whom collectively
received approximately 82% of the shares of common stock issued in the Merger,
together with theglobe's Chairman, Michael Egan (together with certain
affiliates which he controls), have agreed to vote (or have granted proxies to
so vote) in favor of the Certificate of Amendment. After giving effect to the
proxies from such former SendTec shareholders, Mr. Egan controls the vote over
approximately 69.25 million of theglobe's 156 million issued and outstanding
shares of common stock (after giving affect to the shares of common stock which
may be issued in the Merger).

In the event that the Certificate of Amendment is not approved for any reason at
the Annual Meeting then on the 10th day following the failure to approve the
Certificate of Amendment, the remaining shares of Series H Preferred Stock will
automatically convert into whatever number of shares of Common Stock which
theglobe then has remaining available for issuance (after giving affect to
approximately 33.7 million shares reserved for issuance under previously
outstanding options and warrants), less up to 3 million additional shares as may
be designated by theglobe. After giving effect to the reservation of shares
underlying outstanding options and warrants to acquire shares of theglobe's
common stock (including options issued in connection with the Merger) and the
shares of common stock issued in the Merger, theglobe presently has issued and
outstanding (or reserved for issuance) approximately 196 million shares of
common stock, leaving a maximum of approximately 3 million shares (assuming no
further shares of common stock are issued prior to such date) which could be
further issued upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock absent the
increase in common stock contemplated by the Certificate of Amendment or other
arrangements satisfactory to the holders of any options or warrants to acquire
shares. With regard to any shares of Series H Preferred Stock which theglobe
does not automatically convert into shares of common stock, the holders of the
Series H Preferred Stock may thereafter convert such remaining Series H
Preferred Stock into a subordinated promissory note (a "Conversion Note") from
theglobe. If issued, the Conversion Note will be due in one lump sum on the
later of the first anniversary of its issuance or December 31, 2005 and will
bear interest at the rate of 4% per annum. The principal amount of the
Conversion Note would be equal to the product of:

(A) the number of shares of theglobe's common stock that would have been
issued upon conversion of the remaining shares of the Series H Preferred
Stock if there were sufficient shares available for that purpose; and

(B) the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value, as defined, of theglobe's
common stock in the 20 trading days immediately prior to the conversion
date and (ii) $0.83.

If none of the remaining shares of Series H Preferred Stock were converted into
common stock, the maximum principal amount of the Conversion Note (based upon
the maximum conversion rate of $0.83 per share) would be approximately $14.5
million.

The Company agreed to file a registration statement relating to the resale of
the shares of common stock issued in the Merger and the shares of common stock
underlying the Series H Preferred Stock on or before January 29, 2005 and to
cause the effectiveness of such registration on or before September 1, 2005. The
Company also agreed to keep the registration statement effective until at least
the third anniversary of the Closing. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger, in
general, the common stock and Series H Preferred Stock (and the underlying
shares of common stock) issued in the Merger may not be sold or otherwise
transferred for a period of one (1) year without the prior written consent of
the Company.

As part of the Merger, five top executives of SendTec entered into new
employment agreements with SendTec. These employment agreements each have a term
of 5 years and obligate SendTec to pay base salaries ranging from $300 thousand
to $175 thousand, consistent with the executive's salaries immediately before
the Merger, and provide for customary health insurance and other benefits
commensurate with the benefits which theglobe makes generally available to its
officers. As part of the Merger, the Company also increased the size of its
Board of Directors from 3 to 4 directors and elected Paul Soltoff, who serves as
Chief Executive Officer of SendTec, to the Board.

theglobe also issued an aggregate of approximately 4.0 million replacement
options to acquire shares of theglobe's common stock for each of the issued and
outstanding options to acquire shares of SendTec held by the former employees of
SendTec. Of these replacement options, approximately 3.27 million have exercise
prices of $0.06 per share and approximately 700 thousand have exercise prices of
$0.27 per share. The terms of these replacement options were as negotiated
between representatives of theglobe and the Stock Option Committee for SendTec
2000 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan. theglobe also agreed to grant an
aggregate of 250,000 options to other employees of SendTec at an exercise price
of $0.34 per share. Twenty-five percent of these options vested immediately and
the balance will vest in 3 equal annual installments assuming the continued
employment of the option holders. In addition, theglobe also established a bonus
option pool pursuant to which various employees of SendTec could earn options to
acquire an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of theglobe's Common Stock at an
exercise price of $0.27 per share on terms substantially similar to the
circumstances in which the Earn-out Consideration may be earned.

To accommodate the foregoing option grants the Board of Directors adopted a new
benefit plan titled the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2004 Plan"). An
aggregate of 7.5 million shares of theglobe's common stock may be issued
pursuant to the 2004 Plan. The 2004 Stock Incentive Plan will be administered
either by the Board of Directors or by a committee of the Board of Directors
(the "Committee") in a manner similar to the administration of the 2000 Stock
Option Plan. Employees, consultants, and prospective employees and consultants
of theglobe and its affiliates and non-employee directors of theglobe are
eligible to be granted non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock awards, performance awards and other stock-based awards under
the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. Eligibility for awards under the 2004 Plan is
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The 2004 Stock Incentive
Plan authorizes the Committee to grant non-qualified stock options to purchase
shares of common stock. The Committee will determine the number of shares of
common stock subject to each option, the term of each option, the exercise
price, any vesting schedule (including performance criteria), and the other
material terms of each option. Options will be exercisable at such times and
subject to such terms as determined by the Committee at grant. The 2004 Stock
Incentive Plan also authorizes the Committee to grant stock appreciation rights
("SARs") either in tandem with an option or independent of an option. An SAR is
a right to receive a payment either in cash or common stock equal in value to
the excess of the fair market value of one share of common stock on the date of
exercise over the exercise price per share of the SAR. The Committee will
determine the terms and conditions of SARs at the time of grant, but generally
SARs will be subject to the same terms and conditions as options. The Committee
is also authorized to grant restricted stock awards under the 2004 Stock
Incentive Plan. Recipients of restricted stock awards enter into an agreement
with the Company subjecting the restricted stock awards to transfer and other
restrictions and providing the criteria or dates on which such restrictions
lapse. Restricted stock awards may vest over time, based on performance criteria
or other factors, as determined by the Committee at grant. The 2004 Stock
Incentive Plan also authorizes the Committee to grant performance awards
entitling participants to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock or
cash, as determined by the Committee, upon the attainment of performance goals
with respect to a designated performance period. Finally, the 2004 Stock
Incentive Plan authorizes the Committee to grant awards of common stock and
other awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are payable
in or otherwise based on, common stock, including but not limited to shares of
common stock awarded purely as a bonus and shares of common stock in payment of
the amounts due under an incentive or performance plan.

In connection with the Merger, the SendTec executives (whom collectively
received approximately 82% of the shares of common stock and Series H Preferred
Stock issued in the Merger), theglobe and Messrs. Michael Egan and Edward
Cespedes, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively
(individually and on behalf of certain affiliated entities) entered into a
Stockholders' Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders' Agreement,
the SendTec executives granted an irrevocable proxy to vote their shares to E&C
Capital Partners LLLP, an affiliate of Mr. Egan on all matters (including the
election of directors) other than with respect to certain potential affiliated
transactions involving Messr. Egan or Cespedes. After giving effect to the grant
of the proxy (and excluding outstanding options and warrants held by Mr. Egan),
Mr. Egan has voting power over approximately 69.25 million shares of theglobe
representing approximately 44.5% of the issued and outstanding securities of the
Company entitled to vote on the Certificate of Amendment. The SendTec executives
were also granted certain pre-emptive rights involving potential new issuances
of securities by theglobe, together with a co-sale right to participate in
certain qualifying sales of stock by Messrs. Egan, Cespedes and their
affiliates. Messrs. Egan, Cespedes and their affiliates were granted a right of
first refusal on certain sales (generally, in excess of 10 million shares) by
the SendTec executives, together with the right to "drag-along" the SendTec
executives with regard to certain major sales of their stock or a sale or merger
of theglobe.

CERTAIN PRIOR RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THEGLOBE AND SENDTEC.

SendTec and theglobe are parties to a Marketing Services Master Agreement dated
July 23, 2004, whereby SendTec will provide various marketing and advertising
services to theglobe and its subsidiaries, including the production of
television infomercials and media planning and buying services. The Agreement is
for a period of 6 months, subject to early termination by either party on 30
days notice. theglobe is obligated to pay a monthly fee of $15,000 plus other
amounts specific to various work orders which theglobe has placed with SendTec.
Based upon 5 specific work orders currently outstanding, theglobe has paid
approximately $330,000 to date and anticipates that it will pay another
approximately $110,000 based upon these work orders.

SENDTEC'S BUSINESS

SendTec was incorporated in February, 2000 in the State of Florida and commenced
operations on that date. Originally, SendTec incorporated under the name
prizecrazy.com and was envisioned to become a free consumer gaming website that
monetized consumer traffic on the website through on-line "cost per impression"
or "CPM" advertising. Because of a significant decline in the pricing of on-line
CPM advertising during this period of time, the prizecrazy.com web site
development was abandoned and the company modified its business strategy so as
to become a direct response marketing services company. In conjunction with this
change in strategy, prizecrazy.com changed its name to DirectNet Advertising.net
("DNA") to better define the company's operational focus.

At the time, DNA was one of only a few online marketing services companies that
was providing performance-based (i.e. cost-per-action, cost per lead, cost per
sale) advertising solutions to advertising clients. As part of its marketing
services offering, DNA also began developing proprietary software to facilitate
the tracking of actions online for its advertisers and its distribution network.
Today, SendTec's Results, Optimization, Yield ("ROY") online tracking software
provides the company with a unique competitive advantage by enabling SendTec to
optimize campaigns and by enabling advertising clients and distribution partners
to access real-time conversion information. In February of 2002, DNA acquired
100% of the stock of iFactz, Inc. ("iFactz") in a merger transaction. iFactz has
developed software that enables the tracking of online response to distinct
sources of offline advertising. The iFactz software provides an excellent
complementary platform for DNA's ROY tracking software and enables DNA to offer
a complete technology tracking solution for online and offline direct response
marketing. During this same period of time, DNA changed it name to SendTec, Inc.
to better define itself in the market.

Today, SendTec is a direct response marketing services and technology company.
SendTec provides customers a complete offering of direct marketing products and
services to help them market their products both on the Internet ("online") and
through traditional media channels such as television, radio and print
advertising ("offline"). By utilizing SendTec's marketing products and services,
SendTec's clients seek to increase the effectiveness and the return on
investment of their advertising campaigns. SendTec's online and offline direct
marketing products and services include strategic campaign development, creative
development, creative production and post-production, media buying and tracking,
campaign management, campaign analysis and optimization, technology systems
implementation and integration for campaign tracking and many other agency type
services. In addition, SendTec has a suite of technology solutions, ROY, SOAR
(an acronym for "SendTec Optimization and Reporting") and iFactz, which enable
it to deliver, track, and optimize direct marketing campaigns across multiple
distribution channels, including television, radio, direct mail, print and the
Internet. The combination of SendTec's direct marketing capabilities, technology
and experience in both online and offline marketing, enable its clients to
optimize their advertising campaigns across a broad spectrum of advertising
mediums. SendTec has three operating divisions, DirectNet Advertising, iFactz
and Creative South.

DIRECTNET ADVERTISING (DNA)

DNA is the digital marketing services division of SendTec. DNA offers a variety
of products and services that enable on-line advertisers and publishers to
generate performance based results through online marketing channels such as,
web advertising, e-commerce up-sells, affiliate marketing, search marketing and
email marketing. DNA's broad range of products and services include creative
strategy and execution, strategic offer development, production planning, media
planning, media buying and search optimization. Through these products and
services DNA's clients can address all aspects of the marketing continuum, from
strategic planning through execution, including results management and campaign
refinements. DNA's proprietary technologies allow advertisers and publishers to
track, report and optimize online campaign activity all the way to the
"conversion level" (which means a consumer's actual response to the offer, as
for example, by making a purchase). DNA's knowledge of digital advertising
strategies, targeting methods, media placements and creative executions combined
with its innovative and dependable technology help DNA's clients to improve
their advertising performance and return on investment. DNA competes with a
variety of large and small advertising agencies but its primary competitors are
interactive marketing companies such as ValueClick, aQuantive, Advertising.com
and Performics. Currently the online performance based advertising market in
which DNA competes is still evolving and it is expected that certain government
regulations may eventually be implemented to better define acceptable practices
and methodologies.

IFACTZ

iFactz is SendTec's Application Service Provider or "ASP" technology that tracks
and reports the online responses that are generated from offline direct response
advertising. Historically, advertisers have lacked the ability to accurately
track which offline advertising yields results online and thus advertisers have
been unable to properly optimize their media buys. iFactz intelligently tracks
and reports web activity from all offline advertising - TV (even national
cable), radio, print and direct mail - in real time. iFactz's Intelligent
Sourcing(TM) is a patent-pending media technology that informs the user where
online customers come from, and what corresponding activity they produced on the
user's website. The iFactz patent was filed in November of 2001 and SendTec
expects the patent application for iFactz to be reviewed in the 1st quarter of
2005. iFactz's ASP design enables advertisers to implement and access the
technology in a timely and cost efficient manner, as there are no cumbersome,
time-consuming and costly implementation expenses and lead times. iFactz is
licensed to clients both as a stand alone technology solution and as part of an
overall campaign offering. SendTec believes that, to date, iFactz has provided
SendTec with a significant competitive advantage, and that there are currently
no similar technologies available in the market.

CREATIVE SOUTH

Creative South is the creative strategy, production and media buying division of
SendTec. Creative South services both on-line and off-line clients of SendTec,
and its production capabilities cover a range of distribution medias including
television, radio, direct mail, print and digital. Creative South has developed,
produced and distributed numerous direct response television campaigns for
customers and has received national awards for its creative and production work.
Creative South maintains in-house two state-of-the-art non-linear digital video
editing suites. Creative South's production department includes experienced
directors, producers and editors on staff. Creative South's media buying
department provides a full range of services including strategic media planning,
media trafficking, media buying, media tracking and post-buy media and financial
analysis. Creative South's media buying department has executed media buying
assignments for all types of television (broadcast and cable), radio and print
formats and Creative South's long time relationships with its media partners
have enabled SendTec to provide its clients competitive media prices.

Since its inception, SendTec has grown from 5 employees to approximately 47
employees currently. The address of SendTec's principal executive offices is 877
Executive Center Drive West Suite 300 St. Petersburg, Florida 33702. SendTec
also has an office in New York City.

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO SENDTEC AND THE ACQUISITION

RISKS RELATED TO THEGLOBE.COM'S ACQUISITION OF SENDTEC

OUR LIQUIDITY MAY PERMANENTLY DECREASE AS A RESULT OF THE SENDTEC ACQUISITION.
WE MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL.

As part of the consideration for the SendTec acquisition, we paid $6.0 million
in cash and issued a subordinated promissory note for $1.0 million, due one year
after the closing, to the SendTec shareholders. As a result of the acquisition,
our liquidity is dependent upon the sufficiency of the cash acquired from
SendTec in the acquisition, of approximately $3 million, plus cash flow
anticipated to be generated internally by SendTec subsequent to the acquisition.
If cash flow generated by SendTec, on a short-term and long-term basis, does not
meet our expectations, our liquidity may permanently decrease and our financial
condition may be adversely affected. In addition, the Series H Preferred Stock
issued as part of the Merger may under certain limited circumstances be
converted by the holders thereof into a promissory note due in one lump sum on
the later of the first anniversary of the date of issuance and December 31,
2005. In such limited circumstances, the Series H Preferred Stock may be
converted into a promissory note based upon the then Fair Market Value, as
defined, of our Common Stock (but not greater than $0.83 per share). If all
remaining Series H Preferred Stock were so converted at the maximum conversion
rate, the maximum principal amount of the Note would be $14.5 million. Our
liquidity would be adversely affected by any such conversion and we would likely
need to raise significant capital. Our financial condition may also be adversely
affected.

THE ANTICIPATED BENEFITS OF THE SENDTEC ACQUISITION MAY NOT BE REALIZED.

The success of the acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to realize
the benefits of enhanced resources, growth opportunities and other synergies of
combining with SendTec and to effectively leverage the SendTec marketing and
technical resources following the merger. The merger involves risks related to
the integration, management, and retention of acquired client relationships,
operations and personnel. Integration of the businesses will be complex,
time-consuming and may disrupt the combined company's businesses if not
completed in a timely and efficient manner. Some of the difficulties that the
combined company may encounter include:

o diversion of management's attention from other business concerns;

o inability to use the acquired resources effectively; and

o demonstrating to the combined company's customers, vendors and
partners that the acquisition will not result in adverse changes to
their relationships.

If management focuses too much time, money and effort to integrate and utilize
SendTec's resources to improve theglobe's VoIP telephony business, the
operations and profitability of SendTec's traditional business may suffer.

THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY DECLINE AS A RESULT OF THE SENDTEC
ACQUISITION.

The market price of our stock may decline as a result of the merger if:

o integration of theglobe.com and SendTec is unsuccessful or is
delayed;

o the combined company does not achieve the perceived benefits of the
acquisition as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by investors;

o the effect of the acquisition on the combined company's financial
results or condition is not consistent with the expectations of
financial investors; or

o the dilution in shareholder ownership related to the issuance of
shares of theglobe.com's common stock in connection with the
acquisition is perceived negatively by investors.

The market price of our common stock could also decline as a result of
unforeseen factors related to the acquisition.

OUR NET OPERATING LOSS CARRY FORWARDS MAY BE FURTHER LIMITED DUE TO THE SENDTEC
ACQUISITION.

As of December 31, 2003, we had net operating loss carryforwards available for
U.S. and foreign tax purposes of approximately $144 million. These carryforwards
expire through 2023. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 imposes substantial restrictions
on the utilization of net operating losses and tax credits in the event of an
"ownership change" of a corporation. Due to the change in our ownership
interests in August 1997 and May 1999 and the Company's recently completed
private offering in March 2004 (together with the exercise and conversion of
various securities in connection with such private offering), as defined in the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, we may have substantially limited or
eliminated the availability of our net operating loss carryforwards. The
ownership change related to the shares of our common stock issued in connection
with the SendTec acquisition may have a further negative impact upon our ability
to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards. There can be no assurance that
we will be able to utilize any net operating loss carryforwards in the future.

WE COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY AN IMPAIRMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF
GOODWILL AND/OR INTANGIBLE ASSETS ON OUR BALANCE SHEET.

Our acquisition of SendTec has resulted in the recording of a significant amount
of goodwill and/or intangible assets on our balance sheet. The goodwill was
recorded because the fair value of the net assets acquired was less than the
purchase price. We may not realize the full value of the goodwill and/or
intangible assets. As such, we evaluate on a regular basis whether events and
circumstances indicate that some or all of the carrying value of goodwill and/or
intangible assets are no longer recoverable, in which case we would write off
the unrecoverable portion as a charge to our earnings.

RISKS RELATED TO SENDTEC'S BUSINESS

RISKS RELATED TO SENDTEC'S ONLINE MARKETING SERVICES

ANY DECREASE IN DEMAND FOR SENDTEC'S ONLINE MARKETING SERVICES COULD
SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE SENDTEC'S REVENUES.

To date, a substantial portion of SendTec's revenues have been derived from
Internet advertising. SendTec expects that online advertising will continue to
account for a substantial portion of their revenues in the future. However,
SendTec's revenues from Internet advertising may decrease in the future for a
number of reasons, including the following:

o the rate at which Internet users click on advertisements or take
action in response to an advertisement has always been low and could
decline as the volume of Internet advertising increases;

o Internet users can install software programs that allow them to
prevent advertisements from appearing on their screens or block the
receipt of emails;

o advertisers may prefer an alternative Internet advertising format,
product or service which SendTec might not offer at that time; and

o SendTec may be unable to make the transition to new Internet
advertising formats preferred by advertisers.

IF SENDTEC'S PRICING MODELS ARE NOT ACCEPTED BY THEIR ADVERTISER CLIENTS,
SENDTEC COULD LOSE CLIENTS AND THEIR REVENUES COULD DECLINE.

Most of SendTec's services are offered to advertisers based on cost-per-action
or cost-per-click pricing models, under which advertisers only pay SendTec if
SendTec provides the results they specify. These results-based pricing models
differ from the fixed-rate pricing model used by many Internet advertising
companies, under which the fee is based on the number of times the advertisement
is shown without regard to effectiveness. SendTec's ability to generate
significant revenues from advertisers will depend, in part, on SendTec's ability
to demonstrate the effectiveness of their primary pricing models to advertisers,
who may be more accustomed to a fixed-rate pricing model.

Furthermore, intense competition among websites and other Internet advertising
providers has led to the development of a number of alternative pricing models
for Internet advertising. The proliferation of multiple pricing alternatives may
confuse advertisers and make it more difficult for them to differentiate among
these alternatives. In addition, it is possible that new pricing models may be
developed and gain widespread acceptance that are not compatible with SendTec's
business model or SendTec's technology. These alternatives, and the likelihood
that additional pricing models will be introduced, make it difficult for SendTec
to project the levels of advertising revenues or the margins that SendTec, or
the Internet advertising industry in general, will realize in the future. If
advertisers do not understand the benefits of SendTec's pricing models, then the
market for SendTec's services may decline or develop more slowly than SendTec
expects, which may limit SendTec's ability to grow their revenues or cause their
revenues to decline.

SENDTEC DEPENDS ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF CLIENTS FOR A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF
THEIR REVENUES, AND THE LOSS OF ONE OR MORE OF THESE ADVERTISERS COULD CAUSE
SENDTEC'S REVENUES TO DECLINE.

For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and for the year ended December 31, 2003,
revenues from SendTec's three largest clients accounted for 71% and 53% of their
total revenues, respectively. SendTec believes that a limited number of clients
will continue to be the source of a substantial portion of their revenues for
the foreseeable future. Key factors in maintaining SendTec's relationships with
these clients include SendTec's performance on individual campaigns, the
strength of SendTec's professional reputation and the relationships of SendTec's
key executives with client personnel. To the extent that SendTec's performance
does not meet client expectations, or their reputation or relationships with one
or more major clients are impaired, SendTec's revenues could decline and their
operating results could be adversely affected.

ANY LIMITATION ON SENDTEC'S USE OF DATA DERIVED FROM THEIR CLIENTS' ADVERTISING
CAMPAIGNS COULD SIGNIFICANTLY DIMINISH THE VALUE OF SENDTEC'S SERVICES AND CAUSE
SENDTEC TO LOSE CLIENTS AND REVENUES.

When an individual visits SendTec's clients' websites, SendTec uses
technologies, including cookies and web beacons, to collect information such as
the user's IP address, advertisements delivered by SendTec that have been viewed
by the user and responses by the user to such advertisements. SendTec aggregates
and analyzes this information to determine the placement of advertisements
across SendTec's affiliate network of advertising space. Although the data
SendTec collects from campaigns of different clients, once aggregated, are not
identifiable, SendTec's clients might decide not to allow SendTec to collect
some or all of this data or might limit SendTec's use of this data. Any
limitation on SendTec's ability to use such data could make it more difficult
for SendTec to deliver online marketing programs that meet client demands.

In addition, although SendTec's contracts generally permit SendTec to aggregate
data from advertising campaigns, SendTec's clients might nonetheless request
that SendTec discontinue using data obtained from their campaigns that have
already been aggregated with other clients' campaign data. It would be
difficult, if not impossible, to comply with these requests, and such requests
could result in significant expenditures of resources. Interruptions, failures
or defects in SendTec's data collection, mining and storage systems, as well as
privacy concerns regarding the collection of user data, could also limit
SendTec's ability to aggregate and analyze data from SendTec's clients'
advertising campaigns. If that happens, SendTec may lose clients and their
revenues may decline.

THE INTERNET ADVERTISING INDUSTRY COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY GENERAL
ECONOMIC DOWNTURNS, CATASTROPHIC EVENTS OR DECLINES OR DISRUPTIONS IN INDUSTRIES
THAT ADVERTISE HEAVILY ON THE INTERNET.

The Internet advertising industry is sensitive to both general economic and
business conditions and to specific events, such as acts of terrorism. In
addition, Internet advertising spending can be affected by the condition of
industries that advertise heavily on the Internet such as the financial
services, travel and entertainment industries. Some of these industries tend to
be sensitive to event-driven disruptions such as government regulation, war,
terrorism, disease, natural disasters and other significant events. A general
decline in economic conditions or disruptions in specific industries
characterized by heavy spending on Internet advertising, could cause a decline
in Internet advertising expenditures which could in turn cause a decline in
SendTec's revenues.

IF THE MARKET FOR INTERNET ADVERTISING FAILS TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP, SENDTEC'S
REVENUES AND SENDTEC'S OPERATING RESULTS COULD BE HARMED.

SendTec's future success is highly dependent on the continued use and growth of
the Internet as an advertising medium. The Internet advertising market is
relatively new and rapidly evolving, and it uses different measurements than
traditional media to gauge its effectiveness. As a result, demand for and market
acceptance of Internet advertising services is uncertain. Many of SendTec's
current or potential advertiser clients have little or no experience using the
Internet for advertising purposes and have allocated only limited portions of
their advertising budgets to the Internet. The adoption of Internet advertising,
particularly by those entities that have historically relied upon traditional
media for advertising, requires the acceptance of a new way of conducting
business, exchanging information, measuring success and evaluating new
advertising products and services. Such clients may find Internet advertising to
be less effective for promoting their products and services than traditional
advertising media. SendTec cannot assure you that the market for Internet
advertising will continue to grow or become sustainable. If the market for
Internet advertising fails to continue to develop or develops more slowly than
SendTec expects, SendTec's revenues and business could be harmed.

RISKS RELATED TO THE SUPPLY OF ADVERTISING SPACE

SENDTEC DEPENDS ON ONLINE PUBLISHERS FOR ADVERTISING SPACE TO DELIVER ITS
CLIENTS' ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS, AND ANY DECLINE IN THE SUPPLY OF ADVERTISING
SPACE AVAILABLE THROUGH SENDTEC'S NETWORK COULD CAUSE SENDTEC'S REVENUES TO
DECLINE.

The websites, search engines and email publishers that sell or venture their
advertising space to or with SendTec are not bound by long-term contracts that
ensure SendTec a consistent supply of advertising space, which SendTec refers to
as their inventory. SendTec generates a significant portion of their revenues
from the advertising inventory provided by a limited number of publishers. In
most instances, publishers can change the amount of inventory they make
available to SendTec at any time, as well as the price at which they make it
available. In addition, publishers may place significant restrictions on
SendTec's use of their advertising inventory. These restrictions may prohibit
advertisements from specific advertisers or specific industries, or restrict the
use of certain creative content or format. If a publisher decides not to make
inventory available to SendTec, or decides to increase the price, or places
significant restrictions on the use of such inventory, SendTec may not be able
to replace this with inventory from other publishers that satisfy SendTec's
requirements in a timely and cost-effective manner. If this happens, SendTec's
revenues could decline or SendTec's cost of acquiring inventory may increase.

SENDTEC'S GROWTH MAY BE LIMITED IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT
ADVERTISING INVENTORY THAT MEETS SENDTEC'S PRICING AND QUALITY REQUIREMENTS.

SendTec's growth depends on their ability to effectively manage and expand the
volume of their inventory of advertising space. To attract new advertisers,
SendTec must increase their supply of inventory that meets their performance and
pricing requirements. SendTec's ability to purchase or venture sufficient
quantities of suitable advertising inventory will depend on various factors,
some of which are beyond their control. These factors include:

o SendTec's ability to offer publishers a competitive price for their
inventory;

o SendTec's ability to estimate the quality of the available
inventory; and

o SendTec's ability to efficiently manage their existing advertising
inventory.

In addition, the number of competing Internet advertising networks that purchase
advertising inventory from websites, search engine and email publishers
continues to increase. SendTec cannot assure you that SendTec will be able to
purchase or venture advertising inventory that meets their performance, price
and quality requirements, and if they cannot do so, SendTec's ability to
generate revenues could be limited.

ANY LIMITATION ON SENDTEC'S ABILITY TO POST ADVERTISEMENTS THROUGHOUT THEIR
NETWORK OF ADVERTISING SPACE COULD HARM SENDTEC'S BUSINESS.

SendTec executes advertising programs for clients primarily by posting
advertisements, which they refer to as ad delivery, on SendTec's affiliate
network of advertising space. SendTec's business could suffer from a variety of
factors that could limit or reduce their ability to post advertisements across
SendTec's affiliate network, including:

o technological changes that render the delivery of SendTec's
advertisements obsolete or incompatible with the operating systems
of consumers and/or the systems of online publishers;

o lawsuits or injunctions based on claims that SendTec's ad delivery
methodologies violate the proprietary rights of other parties; and

o interruptions, failures or defects in SendTec's ad delivery and
tracking systems.

CONSOLIDATION OF ONLINE PUBLISHERS MAY IMPAIR SENDTEC'S ABILITY TO PROVIDE
MARKETING SERVICES, ACQUIRE ADVERTISING INVENTORY AT FAVORABLE RATES AND COLLECT
CAMPAIGN DATA.

The consolidation of Internet advertising networks, web portals, search engines
and other online publishers could eventually lead to a concentration of
desirable advertising inventory on a very small number of networks and large
websites. Such concentration could:

o increase SendTec's costs if these publishers use their greater
bargaining power to increase rates for advertising inventory; and

o impair SendTec's ability to provide marketing services if these
publishers prevent SendTec from distributing SendTec's clients'
advertising campaigns on their websites or if they adopt ad delivery
systems that are not compatible with SendTec's ad delivery
methodologies.

SENDTEC'S BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED IF THE USE OF TRACKING TECHNOLOGY IS
RESTRICTED OR BECOMES SUBJECT TO NEW REGULATION.

In conjunction with the delivery of advertisements to websites, SendTec
typically places small files of information, commonly known as cookies, on an
Internet user's hard drive, generally without the user's knowledge or consent.
Cookie information is passed to SendTec through an Internet user's browser
software. SendTec uses cookies to collect information regarding the
advertisements SendTec delivers to Internet users and their interaction with
these advertisements. SendTec uses this information to identify Internet users
who have received SendTec's advertisements in the past and to monitor and
prevent potentially fraudulent activity. In addition, SendTec's technology uses
this information to monitor the performance of ongoing advertising campaigns and
plan future campaigns.

Some Internet commentators and privacy advocates have proposed limiting or
eliminating the use of cookies and other Internet tracking technologies, and
legislation has been introduced in some jurisdictions to regulate Internet
tracking technologies. The European Union has already adopted a directive
requiring that when cookies are used, the user must be informed and offered an
opportunity to opt-out of the cookies' use. If there is a further reduction or
limitation in the use of Internet tracking technologies such as cookies:

o SendTec may have to replace or re-engineer SendTec's tracking
technology, which could require significant amounts of SendTec's
time and resources, may not be completed in time to avoid losing
clients or advertising inventory, and may not be commercially or
technically feasible;

o SendTec may have to develop or acquire other technology to prevent
fraud; and

o SendTec may become subject to costly and time-consuming litigation
or investigations due to SendTec's use of cookie technology or other
technologies designed to collect Internet usage information.

Any one or more of these occurrences could result in increased costs, require
SendTec to change their business practices or divert management's attention.

IF SENDTEC OR THEIR ADVERTISER OR PUBLISHER CLIENTS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH
REGULATIONS GOVERNING CONSUMER PRIVACY, SENDTEC COULD FACE SUBSTANTIAL COSTS AND
SENDTEC'S BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED.

SendTec's collection, maintenance and sharing of information regarding Internet
users could result in lawsuits or government inquiries. These actions may
include those related to U.S. federal and state legislation or European Union
directives limiting the ability of companies like SendTec to collect, receive
and use information regarding Internet users. Litigation and regulatory
inquiries are often expensive and time-consuming and their outcome is uncertain.
Any involvement by SendTec in any of these matters could require SendTec to:

o spend significant amounts on SendTec's legal defense;

o divert the attention of senior management from other aspects of
SendTec's business;

o defer or cancel new product launches as a result of these claims or
proceedings; and

o make changes to SendTec's present and planned products or services.

Further, SendTec cannot assure you that their advertiser and publisher clients
are currently in compliance, or will remain in compliance, with their own
privacy policies, regulations governing consumer privacy or other applicable
legal requirements. SendTec may be held liable if their clients use SendTec's
technology or the data SendTec collects on their behalf in a manner that is not
in compliance with applicable laws or regulations or their own stated privacy
standards.

SENDTEC MAY BE LIABLE FOR CONTENT IN THE ADVERTISEMENTS THEY DELIVER FOR
SENDTEC'S CLIENTS.

SendTec may be liable to third parties for content in the advertisements they
deliver if the artwork, text or other content involved violates copyrights,
trademarks or other intellectual property rights of third parties or if the
content is defamatory. Although SendTec generally receives warranties from their
advertisers that they have the right to use any copyrights, trademarks or other
intellectual property included in an advertisement and are normally indemnified
by the advertisers, a third party may still file a claim against SendTec. Any
claims by third parties against SendTec could be time-consuming, could result in
costly litigation and adverse judgments and could require SendTec to change
their business.

MISAPPROPRIATION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION HELD BY SENDTEC COULD CAUSE SENDTEC
TO LOSE CLIENTS OR INCUR LIABILITY.

SendTec retains highly confidential information on behalf of their clients in
SendTec's systems and databases. Although SendTec maintains security features in
their systems, SendTec's operations may be susceptible to hacker interception,
break-ins and other disruptions. These disruptions may jeopardize the security
of information stored in and transmitted through SendTec's systems. If
confidential information is compromised, SendTec could be subject to lawsuits by
the affected clients or Internet users, which could damage SendTec's reputation
among their current and potential clients, require significant expenditures of
capital and other resources and cause SendTec to lose business and revenues.

ADDITIONAL BUSINESS RISKS RELATING TO SENDTEC'S BUSINESS

SENDTEC FACES INTENSE AND GROWING COMPETITION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PRICE
REDUCTIONS, REDUCED OPERATING MARGINS AND LOSS OF MARKET SHARE.

The direct response advertising market is highly competitive. If SendTec fails
to compete effectively against other advertising service companies, SendTec
could lose clients or advertising inventory and their revenues could decline.
SendTec expects competition to continue to increase because there are no
significant barriers to entry.

Many current and potential competitors have advantages over SendTec, such as
longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger client bases,
greater access to advertising space on high-traffic websites and significantly
greater financial, technical and marketing resources. In addition, existing or
future competitors may develop or offer services that provide significant
performance, price, creative or other advantages over those offered by SendTec.

Current and potential competitors may establish cooperative relationships among
themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of their products and
services to address the needs of SendTec's clients and prospective clients. As a
result, it is possible that new competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire
significant market share.

If SendTec fails to compete successfully, SendTec could have difficulties
attracting and retaining advertising clients or advertising inventory, which may
decrease their revenues and adversely affect SendTec's operating results.
Increased competition may also result in price reductions and reduced operating
income.

SENDTEC GENERALLY DOES NOT HAVE LONG-TERM CONTRACTS WITH THEIR CLIENTS.

SendTec's clients typically hire them on a project-by-project basis or on an
annual contractual relationship. Moreover, SendTec's clients generally have the
right to terminate their relationships with SendTec without penalty and with
relatively short or no notice. Once a project is completed SendTec cannot be
assured that a client will engage SendTec for further services. From time to
time, highly successful engagements have ended because SendTec's client was
acquired and the new owners decided not to retain SendTec. A client that
generates substantial revenue for SendTec in one period may not be a substantial
source of revenue in a subsequent period. SendTec expects a relatively high
level of client concentration to continue, but not necessarily involve the same
clients from period to period. The termination of SendTec's business
relationships with any of their significant clients, or a material reduction in
the use of SendTec's services by any of their significant clients, could
adversely affect SendTec's future financial performance.

THE LOSS OF KEY PERSONNEL OR ANY INABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN ADDITIONAL
PERSONNEL COULD IMPAIR SENDTEC'S ABILITY TO MAINTAIN OR EXPAND THEIR BUSINESS.

The loss of the services of members of SendTec's management team or other key
personnel could harm SendTec's business. SendTec's future success depends to a
significant extent on the continued service of their key management, client
service, product development, sales and technical personnel. SendTec does not
maintain key person life insurance on any of their executive officers and does
not intend to purchase any in the future. Although SendTec generally enters into
non-competition agreements with their employees, SendTec's business could be
harmed if one or more of their officers or key employees decided to join a
competitor or otherwise compete with SendTec.

SendTec's future success also depends on their ability to attract, retain and
motivate highly skilled personnel. If SendTec fails to hire and retain a
sufficient number of qualified client service, product development, sales and
technical personnel, SendTec may not be able to maintain or expand their
business.

IF SENDTEC FAILS TO MANAGE THEIR GROWTH EFFECTIVELY, SENDTEC'S EXPENSES COULD
INCREASE AND SENDTEC'S MANAGEMENT'S TIME AND ATTENTION COULD BE DIVERTED.

As SendTec continues to increase the scope of their operations, SendTec will
need an effective planning and management process to implement their business
plan successfully in the rapidly evolving Internet advertising market. SendTec's
business, results of operations and financial condition will be substantially
harmed if they are unable to manage their expanding operations effectively.
SendTec plans to continue to expand their sales and marketing, customer support
and research and development organizations. Past growth has placed, and any
future growth will continue to place, a significant strain on SendTec's
management systems and resources. SendTec will likely need to continue to
improve their financial and managerial controls and SendTec's reporting systems
and procedures. In addition, SendTec will need to expand, train and manage their
work force. SendTec's failure to manage their growth effectively could increase
SendTec's expenses and divert management's time and attention.

IF SENDTEC FAILS TO ESTABLISH, MAINTAIN AND EXPAND THEIR TECHNOLOGY BUSINESS AND
MARKETING ALLIANCES AND PARTNERSHIPS, SENDTEC'S ABILITY TO GROW COULD BE
LIMITED.

In order to grow SendTec's technology business, SendTec must generate, retain
and strengthen successful business and marketing alliances with advertising
agencies.

SendTec depends, and expects to continue to depend, on SendTec's business and
marketing alliances, which are companies with which they have written or oral
agreements to work together to provide services to SendTec's clients and to
refer business from their clients and customers to SendTec. If companies with
which SendTec has business and marketing alliances do not refer their clients
and customers to SendTec to perform their online campaign and message
management, SendTec's revenue and results of operations would be severely
harmed.

MANAGEMENTS' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION OF SENDTEC

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation, as well
as other statements in this proxy statement relating to the business of SendTec,
contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of predictive,
future-tense or forward-looking terminology, such as "believes," "anticipates,"
"expects," "estimates," "plans," "may," "intends," "will," or similar terms.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve
significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of
various factors described under "Risk Factors Relating to SendTec and the
Acquisition" and elsewhere in this proxy, as well as in theglobe's historical
securities filings, including its quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the
quarter ended June 30, 2004. The following discussion should be read together in
conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related
notes thereto of SendTec included in this proxy statement.

OVERVIEW OR PLAN OF OPERATION

SendTec was acquired by theglobe on September 1, 2004. The following discussion
relates solely to SendTec and does not include any discussion of theglobe or any
of its other subsidiaries. SendTec is a direct response marketing services and
technology company. We provide advertisers a complete offering of direct
marketing services to help them market their products or services both on the
Internet ("online") and through traditional media channels such as television,
radio and print advertising ("offline"). We derive revenue from three divisions
of our business, DirectNet Advertising which provides digital marketing
services, Creative South which provides creative, production and media buying
services and iFactz which provides software solutions for tracking online and
offline results-based advertising and marketing.

DirectNet Advertising (DNA). DNA delivers results based interactive marketing
programs for advertisers through a network of on-line distribution partners
including websites, search engines and email publishers. We use our proprietary
ROY software technology to track, optimize and report results of marketing
campaigns to our advertising clients and our distribution partners. We offer our
advertising clients multiple pricing options based on achieving certain results,
such as consumer purchases or leads. These pricing options include
cost-per-action, or CPA, cost-per-click, or CPC and cost-per-thousand
impressions, or CPM. The majority of our revenue is derived from CPA pricing
agreements. Likewise, we contract with our distribution partners under similar
CPA, CPC and CPM payment terms, with most payments being made under CPA
agreements. All our advertising clients and our distribution partners sign
Insertion Agreements which specify the terms under which we provide digital
marketing services and purchase digital media. Revenue from our DNA division
accounted for 66%, 60% and 78% of our total revenues in 2002, 2003 and for the
six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively.

Creative South. Creative South provides on-line and off-line agency marketing
services including creative development, campaign management, creative
production, post production, media planning and media buying services. Most
services provided by Creative South are priced on a fee-per-project basis, where
the client pays an agreed upon fixed fee based for a designated scope of work.
We also derive a smaller percentage of our revenue from monthly retainer fees
which are paid by clients for whom we are serving as their Agency of Record. We
are compensated for all media planning and buying services based on a percentage
of the gross media purchased for the client. Revenue from our Creative South
division accounted for 34%, 40% and 22% of our total revenues in 2002, 2003 and
for the six months ended June 30, 2004 respectively.

iFactz. iFactz is SendTec's Application Service Provider or "ASP" technology
that tracks and reports the online responses that are generated from offline
direct response advertising. Historically, advertisers have lacked the ability
to accurately track which offline advertising yields results online and thus
advertisers have been unable to properly optimize their media buys. iFactz
intelligently tracks and reports web activity from all offline advertising - TV
(even national cable), radio, print and direct mail - in real time. iFactz's ASP
design enables advertisers to implement and access the technology in a timely
and cost efficient manner, as there are no cumbersome, time-consuming and costly
implementation expenses and lead times. iFactz is licensed to clients based on a
monthly fixed license fee, with license terms ranging from three months to one.
In 2002, 2003, and for the six months ended June 30, 2004,, iFactz revenues
represented less than 1.0% of our total revenues. We continue to develop our
iFactz software and to evaluate our marketing plans for the product.

History. SendTec was incorporated in February 2000 in the State of Florida and
commenced operations on that date. Since our inception, we have grown from 5
employees to 48 employees. Our principal office is located in St. Petersburg,
Florida and we also maintain an office in New York City. We financed our early
operations and growth through a single private sale of our equity securities
that raised proceeds of $1.85 million. Our growth over the past two years has
been financed with internally generated cash flow. To date, our capital
expenditures primarily have been for computer hardware and third party software
development utilized to build out our technology infrastructure.

Despite substantial declines in the Internet Advertising industry in 2001, we
have experienced significant revenue growth over the prior three years,
generating 2001, 2002 and 2003 revenues of $4.6 million (unaudited), $11.2
million and $22.7 million, respectively. In 2001, as the industry downturn
reached its peak, we generated a pre-tax loss of $(1.0) million. In 2002 and
2003, as the Internet Advertising industry began its recovery, we shifted our
client base to larger more traditional advertisers from smaller e-commerce
focused clients, achieving pre-tax income in 2002 and 2003 of $.3 million and
$2.6 million, respectively.

Seasonality: Due to our short operating history, and relatively small size and
rapid growth, seasonality has not been apparent in our business. We believe
however, that the second and fourth quarters are generally stronger than the
first and third quarters in the advertising industry. As our business grows we
believe these fluctuations will become more apparent.

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS RELATED TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
is based upon our audited consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the
United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. On an on-going basis we evaluate our estimates, including those
affecting revenues, intangible assets, state, local and federal income taxes and
general business contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience
and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about
the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002

Revenue. A majority of our revenues consists of fees for services provided to
advertisers for the execution and delivery of advertising campaigns through both
online and offline media networks. We recognize revenue when there is evidence
of an arrangement, delivery of the advertising or contractually agreed-upon
action has occurred or project has been completed, the fee is fixed or
determinable and collection of the fee is probable. Revenues increased $11.5
million, or 103%, from $11.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to
$22.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This growth was due
principally to an increase of $6.3 million, or 85% in our digital marketing
revenues and an increase of $4.1 million, or 170% in our offline media
purchasing services in 2003 compared to 2002. The increase in our digital
marketing revenues reflects increased demand for our performance based marketing
services from existing clients seeking to increase the volume of desired
actions, as well as new clients. The increase in our media buying services
revenue primarily reflects the addition of two new clients for whom we purchased
media in excess of $3.4 million in 2003.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales consists of fees we pay to third party vendors for
project related research, production and post-production services and products.
Additionally, cost of sales includes all third party vendor fees we incur to
acquire advertising media, including the actual cost of the media. We do not
allocate any internal personnel costs or direct or indirect overhead costs to
cost of sales. Cost of sales increased $8.1 million, or 103%, from $7.9 million
for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $16.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003. This increase was due principally to purchasing of greater
amounts of online and offline media to enable the delivery of larger and more
advertising campaigns for our clients.

Gross Profit Margin. Gross profit margin increased slightly from 29.6% in 2002
to 29.7% in 2003. This small change in gross profit margin percentages was a
result of our ability to adjust pricing to clients relative to changes in online
and offline media costs.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses include all employee salary, benefit and commission expenses, the cost
of our selling and marketing efforts, the cost of our operations support
functions and the cost of our corporate and administrative functions. Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million, or 44%, from $2.7
million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $3.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to higher employee
salaries and benefit costs, due to the increase in our employee base from 25 in
2002 to 32 in 2003 and year-end employee bonuses paid in 2003. Employee salaries
(including bonuses) and benefits increased approximately $1.0 million, or 50%
between 2002 and 2003. Also contributing to the increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses were higher marketing costs and travel expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization of property and
equipment consists primarily of depreciation expense on computer equipment,
furniture and fixtures and office equipment and amortization expense of software
costs. Amortization expense of $90 thousand in 2002 and $108 thousand in 2003
reflect the amortization of software recorded in connection with the acquisition
of iFactz, Inc. in February of 2002.

Income Taxes. We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109. The
objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes
payable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for future
tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements
or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax asset and
liabilities is based on provisions of the enacted tax law, without consideration
of potential future changes in the tax laws or rates. Prior to 2002, we incurred
losses from our operations and, as a result, did not incur significant
liabilities for income taxes. In 2002, we generated taxable income but utilized
our federal and state net operating loss carryforward to offset any liabilities
for payment of income taxes in that year. In 2003, we utilized the remainder of
our federal and state net operating loss carry forward to partially offset any
liabilities for income taxes. Our effective tax rate for 2002 and 2003 was 48%
and 39%, respectively.

6 MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 COMPARED TO 6 MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003

Revenue. Revenues increased $7.8 million, or 80%, from $9.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 to $17.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
2004. This growth was due principally to an increase of approximately 140% in
our digital marketing revenues from $5.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 2003 to $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase
in our digital marketing revenues reflects increased demand for our performance
based marketing services from existing clients seeking to increase the volume of
desired actions, as well as new clients.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased $6.1 million, or approximately 90%, from
$6.8 million for the six months ended year ended June 30, 2003 to $12.9 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was due principally to
purchasing of greater amounts of online media to enable the delivery of larger
and more advertising campaigns for our clients.

Gross Profit Margin. Gross profit margin decreased from 30.8% for the six months
ended June 30, 2003 to 26.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This
decrease in gross profit margin % was primarily a result of the gross profit
margins for our digital marketing services division decreasing from 36% for the
six months ended June 30, 2003 to 27% for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
This decline was caused by higher online media inventory costs relative to the
revenue produced by this media.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased $1.1 million, or 69%, from $1.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2003 to $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This
increase was primarily attributable to higher employee salaries and benefit
costs. Employee salaries and benefits increased approximately $.8 million or 65%
from the six months ended June 30, 2003 to the six months ended June 30, 2004.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses also can be
attributed to the expenditure of additional resources to promote the company and
the utilization of more outside consultants to service existing client business.

Depreciation and Amortization Amortization expense of $54 thousand was recorded
in each of the six month periods of 2003 and 2004. Amortization expense reflects
the amortization of software recorded in connection with the acquisition of
iFactz, Inc. in February of 2002.

Income Taxes. For the six month period ended June 30, 2003, we utilized the
remainder of our federal and state net operating loss carry forward to partially
offset our liabilities for payment of income taxes. Our effective tax rate for
both the six month period ended June 30, 2003 and the six month period ended
June 30, 2004 was 39%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow. As of June 30, 2004, we had approximately $2.9 million of cash and
cash equivalents as compared to approximately $3.3 million as of December 31,
2003. Net cash generated from operating activities was $2.2 million and $ .7
million, for 2003 and 2002 respectively, with the 2003 increase related mainly
to the increase in net income in 2003 compared to 2002. For the six months ended
June 30, 2004, net cash used in operating activities was $.1 million in
comparison to net cash provided from operating activities of $1.7 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2003. The period-to-period decrease in net cash
generated from operating activities was primarily a result of the payment of our
total 2003 tax liability in March of 2004 and higher working capital
requirements in the current versus prior year period. Approximately $.3 million
of new furniture, computer equipment and video editing equipment were purchased
during the six months ended June 30, 2004 in connection with the company's
relocation to a new and larger office facility.

Future Capital Needs. We anticipate that we will continue to generate free cash
flow that will be sufficient to meet our future growth and operating needs.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Revenue Recognition. A majority of our revenues consist of fees for services
provided to advertisers for the execution and delivery of advertising campaigns
through both online and offline media networks. We recognize revenue when there
is evidence of an arrangement, delivery of the advertising or contractually
agreed-upon action has occurred or project has been completed, the fee is fixed
or determinable and collection of the fee is probable. All our revenues are
recognized on a gross basis in accordance with EITF 99-19. Gross revenues
consist of the gross value of our billings to our clients, including the cost of
all online and offline media acquired to execute our clients campaigns.

Production Revenue. Revenue is recognized on the completed contract basis for
all production contracts that have longer than a one month completion
time-frame. Under the completed contract method we defer the recognition of all
revenues and the related costs of revenue until such time as the project is
substantially completed and delivered to the client. For production projects the
completion date is deemed to be the date on which the "master dubbing" tape is
completed and delivered to the client.

Accounting for Acquisitions. We accounted for our acquisition of iFactz, inc. in
February 2002 in accordance with the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141. As such, we allocated the cost of the acquisition
to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair
market values at the date of acquisition in accordance with SFAS No. 141. The
result was the allocation of the entire purchase price to the iFactz software.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders
SendTec, Inc. and Subsidiary

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SendTec, Inc.
and subsidiary as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain a reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of SendTec, Inc. and subsidiary at
December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

SENDTEC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002
JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003 (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
SendTec, Inc. (f/k/a DirectNet Advertising.Net, Inc.) and its wholly-owned
subsidiary iFactz, Inc. (collectively, the Company). All material intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company provides advertising
and marketing services for its customers located throughout the United States of
America. These services include distribution of internet advertising, purchase
of direct response television media for customers, and production of television
commercials for direct response advertising.

Effective December 31, 2003, iFactz, Inc. was merged into SendTec, Inc. The
merger had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

RECEIVABLES AND CREDIT POLICIES

Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal
trade terms generally requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date.
Follow-up correspondence is made if unpaid accounts receivable go beyond 30
days.

Payments on accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices
identified on the customer's remittance advice.

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect
from outstanding balances. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable
approximate management's best estimate of the amounts that will be collected.
Management individually reviews all accounts receivable balances that exceed the
due date and estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be
collected. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used
reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to earnings and a
credit to trade accounts receivable. Bad debt expense has not been material to
the financial statements.

UNBILLED REVENUE

Included in accounts receivable at December 31, 2003 and 2002 is unbilled
revenue of $1,058,590 and $658,488, respectively. At June 30, 2004, unbilled
revenue of $1,126,466 (unaudited) is included in accounts receivable.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, which provides companies an alternative to accounting for
stock-based compensation as prescribed under APB Opinion No. 25.

F-6

SENDTEC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002
JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003 (UNAUDITED)

SFAS No. 123 encourages, but does not require, companies to recognize
compensation expense for stock-based awards based on their fair market value at
the date of grant. SFAS No. 123 allows companies to continue to follow existing
accounting rules (intrinsic value method under APB No. 25) provided that
pro-forma disclosures are made of what net income would have been had the new
fair value method been used. The required disclosures were amended in December
2002 with the issuance of SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation
- - Transition and Disclosure. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements
of SFAS No.123 as amended by SFAS No. 148, but will continue to account for
stock-based compensation under APB No. 25.

At June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company has a stock-based
compensation plan which is more fully described in Note E. No stock-based
employee compensation cost is reflected in net income for the unaudited period
ended June 30, 2004 or for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. There
would have been no effect on net income if the Company had applied the fair
value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee
compensation.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
Business Combinations, which requires that all future business combinations be
recorded using the purchase method of accounting. The Company adopted SFAS No.
141 and it provisions effective July 1, 2001.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that effect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company has three primary sources of revenue. One source is from the
distribution of internet advertising, which comprised approximately 79%
(unaudited) for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 and 60% and 65% of
total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Revenue is recognized when users visit and complete actions at an advertiser's
website. Recorded revenue is based upon reports generated by the Company's
tracking software.

A second source of revenue is from purchasing and tracking direct response media
for customers. This revenue comprised approximately 14% (unaudited) for the six
month period ended June 30, 2004 and 29% and 21% of total revenues for the years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company recognizes this
revenue when the media is aired. Amounts received from customers in advance are
included in customer advances and totaled approximately $31,000 (unaudited) at
June 30, 2004 and $44,000 and $453,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.

A third source of revenue is primarily from the production of direct response
advertising programs for clients. Production generally takes eight to 12 weeks
and the Company usually collects amounts up front and at various points
throughout production. This revenue category also includes other miscellaneous
services such as website development. Revenue from this category comprised
approximately 7% (unaudited) for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 and
11% and 14% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. Revenue is recognized when the programs are complete

included in customer advances and totaled approximately $184,000 (unaudited) at
June 30, 2004 and $100,000 and $138,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. Direct costs associated with the production of commercials in
process are included in deferred production costs and totaled approximately
$63,000 (unaudited) at June 30, 2004 and $103,000 and $11,000 at December 31,

NOTE C - ACQUISITION OF IFACTZ

Effective February 2002, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
iFactz, Inc. (an entity with stockholders common to both entities) in exchange
for 2,000,000 of the Company's shares. The value of the Company's shares was
estimated to be $.27 per share (based on a recent stock transaction) and totaled
$540,000. The sole asset of iFactz was developed software that tracks offline
media sources. The Company has allocated the full purchase price to software and
has included it with property and equipment. The software is being amortized
using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of five years. The
consolidated financial statements include the operating results of iFactz from
the date of acquisition.

NOTE D - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

TREASURY STOCK

During 2002, the Company purchased 78,806 shares of its common stock from a
former employee for $580. The price was based on the amount originally paid for
the shares. During 2003, the Company purchased 45,000 shares of its common stock
from two stockholders for a total of $15,000.

NOTES RECEIVABLE - COMMON STOCK

Prior to 2002, the Company issued 205,000 shares of its common stock to three

the Mid-Term Applicable Federal Rate in accordance with Section 1274(d) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The notes receivable are included as
a reduction of stockholders' equity.

NOTE E - STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Company's stock option plan (the Plan) was approved by the stockholders of
the Company effective February 2000. A maximum of 750,000 shares of the
Company's common stock may be issued under the Plan. The maximum term of the
stock options granted is 10 years and most optionees vest in the options over a
24-month period.

The purpose of the Plan is to provide additional incentives to officers, other
key employees and directors of and important consultants to the Company by
encouraging them to invest in shares of the Company's common stock and, thereby,
acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and an increased personal interest
in the Company's continued success and progress.

Options under the Plan may be options which qualify under Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code (Incentive Stock Options) or options which do not qualify
under Section 422 (Nonqualified Options). The following table summarizes option

INTRODUCTION TO PRO FORMA
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

The following pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give effect
to the acquisition of SendTec, Inc. ("SendTec") by theglobe.com, inc.
("theglobe" or the "Company"), which was completed on September 1, 2004. The pro
forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of theglobe as of June 30, 2004 has
been prepared as if the Company's acquisition of SendTec had been consummated on
June 30, 2004. The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations of
theglobe for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the six months ended June 30,
2004 are presented as if the Company's acquisition of SendTec occurred on
January 1, 2003 and the effect was carried forward through the balance of the
year 2003 and the six month period ended June 30, 2004.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement and plan of merger, theglobe paid or will
pay consideration consisting of: (i) $6,000,000 in cash, (ii) the issuance of an
aggregate of 17,500,000 shares of theglobe's Common Stock, (iii) the issuance of
an aggregate of 175,000 shares of Series H Automatically Converting Preferred
Stock (the "Series H Preferred Stock"), and (iv) a subordinated promissory note
in the amount of $1,000,000 (the note bears interest at the rate of 4% per annum
and matures in one lump sum of principal and interest on the first anniversary
date of the note).

The Series H Preferred Stock will vote with the holders of theglobe.com Common
Stock on all matters on an "as-converted" basis. The Series H Preferred Stock
will automatically convert into shares of theglobe's Common Stock on a 1 for 100
basis at such time as theglobe files an amendment to its certificate of
incorporation to increase its authorized shares of Common Stock from 200,000,000
to at least 300,000,000 (the "Certificate of Amendment"). theglobe intends to
seek shareholder authorization for such amendment at its annual meeting of
stockholders anticipated to be held in November 2004. In the event the
Certificate of Amendment is not approved for any reason, then the remaining
Series H Preferred Stock may be converted into a promissory note under certain
circumstances.

theglobe also issued an aggregate of approximately 4,000,000 replacement options
to acquire shares of theglobe's Common Stock for each of the issued and
outstanding options to acquire shares of SendTec common stock held by employees
of SendTec. Of these replacement stock options, approximately 3,270,000 have
exercise prices of $0.06 per share and approximately 700,000 have exercise
prices of $0.27 per share. theglobe also agreed to grant an aggregate of 250,000
options to other employees of SendTec at an exercise price of $0.34 per share.

As part of the acquisition, certain executives of SendTec entered into new
employment agreements with SendTec. The employment agreements each have a term
of five years and automatically renew for an additional year at expiration
unless either party provides the requisite notice of non-renewal. The agreements
also contain certain non compete provisions for periods as specified by the
agreements.

INTRODUCTION TO PRO FORMA
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(CONTINUED)

In addition, warrants to acquire up to an additional 2,500,000 shares of
theglobe Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.27 per share will be issued to
SendTec shareholders when and if SendTec achieves certain operating income, as
defined, for the year ending December 31, 2005. The warrants will be exercisable
for five years. theglobe also intends to establish a bonus option pool pursuant
to which various employees of SendTec could earn options to acquire an aggregate
of 1,000,000 shares of theglobe's Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.27 per
share if the aforementioned operating income target is achieved. Due to the
contingent nature of these warrants and options, no adjustments have been
included in the accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements as a result of the issuance of such warrants and options.

The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based upon
available information and certain assumptions considered reasonable by
management. The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect
theglobe's preliminary purchase price allocation, which will be subject to
further adjustment as theglobe finalizes the allocation of purchase price in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The pro forma
condensed consolidated financial statements do not represent what the Company's
financial position would have been assuming the completion of the Company's
acquisition of SendTec had occurred on June 30, 2004, or what the Company's
results of operations would have been assuming the completion of the Company's
acquisition of SendTec had occurred on January 1, 2003, nor do they project the
Company's financial position or results of operations at any future date or for
any future period. These pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the other financial statements included
herein.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The audit committee of the board of directors operates under a written charter
adopted by the board of directors. The members of the committee are Michael S.
Egan, Edward A. Cespedes, and Robin S. Lebowitz. In as much as the Board does
not currently have any non-employee directors, and all audit committee members
are also employees of the Company, none of the current committee members are
considered "independent" within the meaning of applicable NASD rules.

Management is responsible for the company's internal controls and the financial
reporting process. The independent accountants are responsible for performing an
independent audit of the company's consolidated financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and to issue a report
thereon. The committee's responsibility is to monitor and oversee these
processes.

In this context, the audit committee has met and held discussions with
management and the independent accountants. Management represented to the
committee that the company's consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the audit
committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with
management and the independent accountants. The committee discussed with the
independent accountants matters required to be discussed by Statement of
Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees).

The company's independent accountants also provided to the audit committee the
written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1
(Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the audit committee
discussed with the independent accountants that firm's independence.

Based upon the audit committee's discussion with management and the independent
accountants and the audit committee's review of the representation of management
and the report of the independent accountants to the committee, the audit
committee recommended that the board of directors include the audited
consolidated financial statements in the company's annual report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 31, 2003 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE
2005 ANNUAL MEETING

We welcome comments and suggestions from our stockholders. Here are the ways a
stockholder may present a proposal for consideration by the other stockholders
at our 2005 Annual Meeting:

In our Proxy Statement. If a stockholder wants to submit a proposal for
inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy under Rule 14a-8 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") for the 2005 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders, we must receive the proposal in writing on or before 5 p.m.,
Eastern time, January 20, 2005.

At the Annual Meeting. Under our By-Laws, if a stockholder wishes to nominate a
director or bring other business before the stockholders at the 2005 Annual
Meeting, we must receive the stockholder's written notice not less than 60 days
nor more than 90 days prior to the date of the annual meeting, unless we give
our stockholders less than 70 days' notice of the date of our 2005 Annual
Meeting. If we provide less than 70 days' notice, then we must receive the
stockholder's written notice by the close of business on the 10th day after we
provide notice of the date of the 2005 Annual Meeting. The notice must contain
the specific information required in our By-Laws. A copy of our By-Laws may be
obtained by writing to the Corporate Secretary. If we receive a stockholder's
proposal within the time periods required under our By-Laws, we may choose, but
are not required, to include it in our proxy statement. If we do, we may tell
the other stockholders what we think of the proposal, and how we intend to use
our discretionary authority to vote on the proposal.

Under our by-laws, a stockholder's notice nominating a person for election as a
director must contain specific information about the proposed nominee and the
nominating stockholder. If our chairman determines that a nomination was not
made in the manner described in our by-laws, the nomination will be disregarded.
Similarly, a stockholder's notice proposing the conduct of business must contain
specific information about the business and about the proposing stockholder. If
our chairman determines that business was not properly brought before the
meeting in the manner described in our by-laws, the business will not be
conducted.

By requiring advance notice of nominations by holders of our Common Stock, our
by-laws afford our board an opportunity to consider the qualifications of the
proposed nominee and, to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by our board,
to inform stockholders about these qualifications. By requiring advance notice
of other proposed business, our by-laws also provide an orderly procedure for
conducting annual meetings of stockholders and, to the extent deemed necessary
or desirable by our board, provides our board with an opportunity to inform
stockholders, before meetings, of any business proposed to be conducted at the
meetings, together with any recommendations as to our board's position regarding
action to be taken with respect to the business, so that stockholders can better
decide whether to attend a meeting or to grant a proxy regarding the disposition
of any business.

Delivering a Separate Proxy Statement. We will not use our discretionary voting
authority if a stockholder submits a proposal within the time period required
under our By-Laws, and also provides us with a written statement that the
stockholder intends to deliver his/her own proxy statement and form of proxy to
our stockholders. Persons who wish to deliver their own proxy statement and form
of proxy should consult the rules and regulations of the SEC.

All proposals should be made in writing and sent via registered, certified or
express mail, to our executive offices, 110 East Broward Boulevard, Suite 1400,
Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301, Attention: Robin S. Lebowitz, Corporate
Secretary.

OTHER BUSINESS

The Board of Directors is not aware of any other matters to come before the
Annual Meeting. If any matter not mentioned in this proxy statement is properly
brought before the meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will have
discretionary authority to vote all proxies with respect to those matters in
accordance with their judgment.

of the preceding sentence, if one or more members of the Committee is not a

identical) of each such Restricted Stock Award, and make any amendment or
modification to any Agreement consistent with the terms of the Plan;

4. Stock Subject to the Plan; Grant Limitations.

1.0 The maximum number of Shares that may be made the subject of
Options and Restricted Stock Awards granted under the Plan is eight million
(8,000,000). Upon a Change in Capitalization, the maximum number of Shares
referred to in the first two sentences of this Section 4.1 shall be adjusted in
number and kind pursuant to Section 10. The Company shall reserve for the
purposes of the Plan, out of its authorized but unissued Shares or out of Shares
held in the Company's treasury, or partly out of each, such number of Shares as
shall be determined by the Board. 2.0 Upon the granting of an Option or
Restricted Stock Award, the number of Shares available under Section 4.1 for the
granting of further Options and Restricted Stock Awards shall be reduced by the
number of Shares in respect of which the Option or Restricted Stock Award is
granted; provided, however, that if any Option (other than an Incentive Stock
Option) is exercised by tendering Shares, either actually or by attestation, to
the Company as full or partial payment of the exercise price, the maximum number
of Shares available under Section 4.1 shall be increased by the number of Shares
so tendered.

3.0 Whenever any outstanding Option or Restricted Stock Award or
portion thereof expires, is canceled, is settled in cash (including the
settlement of tax withholding obligations using Shares) or is otherwise
terminated for any reason without having been exercised or payment having been
made in respect of the entire Option or Restricted Stock Award, the Shares
allocable to the expired, canceled, settled or otherwise terminated portion of
the Option or Restricted Stock Award may again be the subject of Options or
Restricted Stock Awards granted hereunder.

5. Option Grants for Eligible Individuals.

1.0 Authority of Committee. Subject to the provisions of the Plan,
the Committee shall have full and final authority to select those Eligible
Individuals who will receive Options, and the terms and conditions of the grant
to such Eligible Individuals shall be set forth in an Agreement.

2.0 Exercise Price. The purchase price or the manner in which the
exercise price is to be determined for Shares under each Option shall be
determined by the Committee and set, forth in the Agreement; provided, however,
that the exercise price per Share under each Incentive Stock Option shall not be
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the option is
granted (110% in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten-Percent
Stockholder).

3.0 Maximum Duration. Options granted hereunder shall be for such
term as the Committee shall determine, provided that an Incentive Stock Option
shall not be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date it
is granted (five (5) years in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a
Ten-Percent Stockholder) and a Nonqualified Stock Option shall not be
exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date it is granted;
provided, however, that the Committee may provide that an Option (other than an
Incentive Stock Option) may, upon the death of the Optionee, be exercised for up
to one (1) year following the date of the Optionee's death even if such period
extends beyond ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted. The Committee
may, subsequent to the granting of any Option, extend the term thereof, but in
no event shall the term as so extended exceed the maximum term provided for in
the preceding sentence.

4.0 Vesting. Subject to Section 7.4, each Option shall become
exercisable in such installments (which need not be equal) and at such times as
may be designated by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement. To the extent
not exercised, installments shall accumulate and be exercisable, in whole or in
part, at any time after becoming exercisable, but not later than the date the
Option expires. The Committee may accelerate the exercisability of any Option or
portion thereof at any time.

5.0 Deferred Delivery of Option Shares. The Committee may, in its
discretion, permit Optionees to elect to defer the issuance of Shares upon the
exercise of one or more Nonqualified Stock Options granted pursuant to the Plan.
The terms and conditions of such deferral shall be determined at the time of the
grant of the Option or thereafter and shall be set forth in the Agreement
evidencing the grant.

6.0 Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of the grant) of Shares
with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan and
"incentive stock options" (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code)
granted under all other plans of the Company or its Subsidiaries (in either case
determined without regard to this Section 5.6) are exercisable by an Optionee
for the first time during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such Incentive
Stock Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. In applying the
limitation in the preceding sentence in the case of multiple Option grants,
Options which were intended to be Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as
Nonqualified Stock Options according to the order in which they were granted
such that the most recently granted Options are first treated as Nonqualified
Stock Options.

6. Option Grants for Nonemployee Directors.

1.0 Grant. At the time when no further Shares are available for
future grant pursuant to the Company's 1998 Stock Option Plan, Formula Options
shall be granted to Eligible Directors as follows:

( ) Initial Grant for Subsequent Eligible Directors. Each Eligible
Director who becomes a Director for the first time while this Plan is in effect,
shall, upon becoming a Director, be granted Formula Option in respect of 25,000
Shares.

( ) Annual Grant. Each Eligible Director shall be granted a Formula Option
in respect of 7,500 Shares on the first business day after the annual meeting of
the stockholders of the Company in each year that the Plan is in effect provided
that the Eligible Director is a Director on such date.

All Formula Options shall be evidenced by an Agreement containing such
other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as
determined by the Board; provided, however, that such terms shall not vary the
price, amount or timing of Formula Options provided under this Section 6,
including provisions dealing with vesting, forfeiture and termination of such
Formula Options. An Eligible Director shall be granted Formula Options under
this Plan only if the number of Shares subject to a Formula Option under the
Company's 1998 Stock Option Plan is less than the amount of Shares required by
such plan.

2.0 Purchase Price. The purchase price for Shares under each Formula
Option shall be equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the
date the Formula Option is granted.

3.0 Vesting. Subject to Section 7.4, each Formula Option granted
pursuant to this Section 6 shall become fully vested and exercisable with
respect to an incremental 25% of the Shares subject thereto on each of the first
four anniversaries of the date of grant; provided, however, in each case, that
the Optionee continues to serve as a Director as of such date of vesting.
Notwithstanding the foregoing (i) if an Optionee's service as a Director
terminates for any reason, other than for Cause, then each Formula Option held
by such Optionee shall become fully and immediately vested and exercisable as of
such date of termination and (ii) if an Optionee's service as a Director
terminates for Cause, then each Formula Option held by such Optionee, whether or
not then vested and exercisable, shall immediately terminate and the Optionee
shall have no further rights in such Formula Option as of such date of
termination.

4.0 Duration. Subject to Section 7.4, each Formula Option shall
terminate on the date which is the tenth anniversary of the date of grant (or if
later, the first anniversary of the date of the Director's death if such death
occurs prior to such tenth anniversary), unless terminated earlier as follows:

( ) If an Optionee's service as a Director terminates for any reason other
than for Cause, the Optionee (or in the event of death, by the person or persons
to whom such rights shall pass by will or the laws of descent or distribution)
may for a period of two (2) years after such termination exercise his or her
Formula Option, after which time the Formula Option shall automatically
terminate in full.

( ) If an Optionee's service as a Director terminates for Cause, the
Formula Option granted to the Optionee hereunder shall immediately terminate in
full and no rights thereunder may be exercised.

7. Terms and Conditions Applicable to All Options.

1.0 Non-Transferability. No option shall be transferable by the
Optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or,
in the case of an Option other than an Incentive Stock Option, pursuant to a
domestic relations order (within the meaning of Rule 16a-12 promulgated under
the Exchange Act), and an Option shall be exercisable during the lifetime of
such Optionee only by the Optionee or his or her guardian or legal
representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may set forth in
the Agreement evidencing an Option (other than an Incentive Stock Option) at the
time of grant or thereafter, that the Option may be transferred to a Permitted
Transferee, and for purposes of the Plan, such Permitted Transferee shall be
deemed to be the Optionee. The terms of an Option shall be final, binding and
conclusive upon the beneficiaries, executors, administrators, heirs and
successors of the Optionee.

2.0 Method of Exercise. The exercise of an Option shall be made only
by a written notice delivered in person or by mail to the Secretary of the
Company at the Company's principal executive office, specifying the number of
Shares to be exercised and, to the extent applicable, accompanied by payment
therefor and otherwise in accordance with the Agreement pursuant to which the
Option was granted. The exercise price for any Shares purchased pursuant to the
exercise of an Option shall be paid, as determined by the Committee in its
discretion, in either of the following forms (or any combination thereof): (a)
cash or (b) the transfer, either actually or by attestation, to the Company of
Shares upon such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee. In
addition, Options may be exercised through a registered broker-dealer pursuant
to such cashless exercise procedures which are, from time to time, deemed
acceptable by the Committee. Any Shares transferred to the Company (or withheld
upon exercise) as payment of the exercise price under an Option shall be valued
at their Fair Market Value on the day preceding the date of exercise of such
Option. If requested by the Committee, the Optionee shall deliver the Agreement
evidencing the Option to the Secretary of the Company who shall endorse thereon
a notation of such exercise and return such Agreement to the Optionee. No
fractional Shares (or cash in lieu thereof) shall be issued upon exercise of an
Option and the number of Shares that may be purchased upon exercise shall be
rounded to the nearest number of whole Shares.

3.0 Rights of Optionees. No Optionee shall be deemed for any purpose
to be the owner of any Shares subject to any Option unless and until (a) the
Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms thereof, (b) the Company
shall have issued and delivered Shares to the Optionee, and (c) the Optionee's
name shall have been entered as a stockholder of record on the books of the
Company. Thereupon, the Optionee shall have full voting, dividend and other
ownership rights with respect to such Shares, subject to such terms and
conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Agreement.

4.0 Effect of Certain Transactions.

( ) In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or
into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets
of the Company (a "Transaction"), each outstanding Option shall be
assumed, or an equivalent option shall be substituted, by the Successor
Corporation; provided, however, that, unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, such Options shall remain subject to all of the conditions and
restrictions which were applicable to such Options prior to such
assumption or substitution. In the event that the Successor Corporation
refuses to or does not assume the Option or substitute an equivalent
option therefor, the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option
as to all of the Shares subject to the Option as described below,
including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be exercisable (a
"Transaction Acceleration").

( ) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section
7.4(a), in the event of a Transaction Acceleration, or in the event that
the Committee determines to accelerate the exercisability of any Options
in connection with any transaction involving the Company or its capital
stock pursuant to Sections 5.4 and/or 6.3, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, authorize the redemption of the unexercised portion of the
Option for a consideration per share of Common Stock equal to the excess
of (i) the consideration payable per share of Common Stock in connection
with such transaction, over (ii) the purchase price per Share subject to
the Option.

8. Restricted Stock.

1.0 Grant. The Committee may grant Restricted Stock Awards to
Eligible Individuals, which shall be evidenced by an Agreement between the
Company and the Grantee. Each Agreement shall contain such restrictions, terms
and conditions as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine and (without
limiting the generality of the foregoing) such Agreements may require that an
appropriate legend be placed on Share certificates. Restricted Stock Awards
shall be subject to the terms and provisions set forth below in this Section 8.

2.0 Rights of Grantees. Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder
shall be issued in the name of the Grantee as soon as reasonably practicable
after the Restricted Stock Award is granted provided that the Grantee has
executed such documents which the Committee may require as a condition to the
issuance of such Shares. At the discretion of the Committee, Shares issued in
connection with a Restricted Stock Award shall be deposited together with the
stock powers with an escrow agent (which may be the Company) designated by the
Committee. Unless the Committee determines otherwise and as set forth in the
Agreement, upon delivery of the Shares to the escrow agent, the Grantee shall
have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, including
the right to vote the Shares and to receive all dividends or other distributions
paid or made with respect to the Shares.

3.0 Non-transferability. Until all restrictions upon the Shares of
Restricted Stock awarded to a Grantee shall have lapsed in the manner set forth
in Section 8.4, such Shares shall not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed
of and shall not be pledged or otherwise hypothecated.

4.0 Lapse of Restrictions. Subject to Section 8.5, restrictions upon
Shares of Restricted Stock awarded hereunder shall lapse at such time or times
and on such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine. The Agreement
evidencing the Restricted Stock Award shall set forth any such restrictions.

5.0 Effect of Certain Transactions. Unless the Committee shall
determine otherwise at the time of the grant of a Restricted Stock Award, upon
the occurrence of a Transaction, the Restricted Stock Award shall be assumed, or
an equivalent award shall be substituted by the Successor Corporation; provided,
however, that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, such Restricted
Stock Award shall remain subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which
were applicable to the Restricted Stock Award prior to such Transaction. In the
event that the Successor Corporation refuses to or does not assume the
Restricted Stock Award or substitute an equivalent award therefor, any and all
restrictions upon Shares of Restricted Stock shall lapse as of the date of the
Transaction. The Agreement evidencing the Award shall set forth any such
provisions.

6.0 Treatment of Dividends. At the time a Restricted Stock Award is
granted, the Committee may, in its discretion, determine that the payment to the
Grantee of dividends, or a specified portion thereof, declared or paid on such
Shares by the Company shall be (a) deferred until the lapsing of the
restrictions imposed upon such Shares and (b) held by the Company for the
account of the Grantee until such time. In the event that dividends are to be
deferred, the Committee shall determine whether such dividends are to be
reinvested in Shares (which shall be held as additional Shares of Restricted
Stock) or held in cash. If deferred dividends are to be held in cash, there may
be credited at the end of each year (or portion thereof) interest on the amount
of the account at the beginning of the year at a rate per annum as the
Committee, in its discretion, may determine. Payment of deferred dividends in
respect of Shares of Restricted Stock (whether held in cash or as additional
Shares of Restricted Stock), together with interest accrued thereon, if any,
shall be made upon the lapsing of restrictions imposed on the Shares in respect
of which the deferred dividends were paid, and any dividends deferred (together
with any interest accrued thereon) in respect of any Shares of Restricted Stock
shall be forfeited upon the forfeiture of such Shares.

7.0 Delivery of Shares. Upon the lapse of the restrictions on Shares
of Restricted Stock, the Committee shall cause a stock certificate to be
delivered to the Grantee with respect to such Shares, free of all restrictions
hereunder.

9. Effect of a Termination of Employment. The Agreement evidencing the
grant of each Option or Restricted Stock Award shall set forth the terms and
conditions applicable to such Option or Restricted Stock Award upon a
termination or change in the status of the employment of the Optionee or Grantee
by the Company or a Subsidiary or a Division (including a termination or change
by reason of the sale of a Subsidiary or a Division), which, except for Director
Options, shall be as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine at the time
the Option or Restricted Stock Award is granted or thereafter.

10. Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization.

( ) In the event of a Change in Capitalization, the Committee shall
conclusively determine the appropriate adjustments, if any, to (i) the maximum
number and class of Shares or other stock or securities with respect to which
Options and Restricted Stock Awards may be granted under the Plan, (ii) the
maximum number and class of Shares or other stock or securities with respect to
which Options and Restricted Stock Awards may be granted to any Eligible
Individual during any three (3) consecutive calendar year period, (iii) the
number and class of Shares or other stock or securities which are subject to
outstanding Options and Restricted Stock Awards granted under the Plan and the
exercise price therefor, if applicable and (iv) the number and class of Shares
or other securities in respect of which Director Options are to be granted under
Section 6.

( ) Any such adjustment in the Shares or other stock or securities subject
to outstanding Incentive Stock Options (including any adjustments in the
exercise price) shall be made in such manner as not to constitute a modification
as defined by Section 424(h)(3) of the Code and only to the extent otherwise
permitted by Sections 422 and 424 of the Code.

( ) Subject to Section 7.4 and Section 8.5, if, by reason of a Change in
Capitalization, an Optionee or Grantee shall be entitled to an Option or Shares
of Restricted stock in respect of new, additional or different shares of stock
or securities, such new, additional or different shares shall thereupon be
subject to all of the conditions, restrictions and performance criteria which
were applicable to the Shares subject to the Option or restricted Stock Award
prior to such Change in Capitalization.

11. Effect of Certain Transactions.

Subject to Section 7.4, Section 8.5 or as otherwise provided in an
Agreement, in the event of a Transaction, the Plan and the Options and
Restricted Stock Awards issued hereunder shall continue in effect in accordance
with their respective terms, except that following a Transaction each Optionee
and each Grantee shall be entitled to receive in respect of each Share subject
to any outstanding Options and Restricted Stock Awards, upon exercise of any
Option or the lapsing of any restrictions on Restricted Stock, the same number
and kind of stock, securities, cash, property or other consideration that each
holder of a Share was entitled to receive in the Transaction in respect of a
Share; provided, however, that such stock, securities, cash, property, or other
consideration shall remain subject to all of the conditions, restrictions and
performance criteria which were applicable to the Options prior to such
Transaction.

12. Interpretation.

The Plan is intended to comply with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the
Exchange Act and the Committee shall interpret and administer the provisions of
the Plan or any Agreement in a manner consistent therewith. Any provisions
inconsistent with such rule shall be inoperative and shall not affect the
validity of the Plan.

13. Pooling Transactions.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or any Agreement to the
contrary, in the event of a Transaction which is also intended to constitute a
Pooling Transaction, the Committee shall take such actions, if any, as are
specifically recommended by an independent accounting firm retained by the
Company to the extent reasonably necessary in order to assure that the Pooling
Transaction will qualify as such, including but not limited to (a) deferring the
vesting, exercise, payment, settlement or lapsing of restrictions with respect
to any Option, (b) providing that the payment or settlement in respect of any
Option be made in the form of cash, Shares or securities of a successor or
acquirer of the Company, or a combination of the foregoing, and (c) providing
for the extension of the term of any Option to the extent necessary to
accommodate the foregoing, but not beyond the maximum term permitted for any
Option.

14. Termination and Amendment of the Plan or Modification of Options and
Restricted Stock Awards. The Plan shall terminate on the day preceding the tenth
anniversary of the date of its adoption by the Board and no Option or Restricted
Stock Award may be granted thereafter. The Board may sooner terminate the Plan
and the Board may at any time and from time to time amend, modify or suspend the
Plan; provided, however, that:

( ) no such amendment, modification, suspension or termination shall
impair or adversely alter any Options or Restricted Stock Awards theretofore
granted under the Plan, except with the consent of the Optionee or Grantee, as
applicable, nor shall any amendment, modification, suspension or termination
deprive any Optionee or any Grantee of any Shares which he or she may have
acquired through or as a result of the Plan; and

( ) to the extent necessary under any applicable law, regulation or
exchange requirement, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the
stockholders of the Company in accordance with applicable law, regulation or
exchange requirement.

15. Non-Exclusivity of the Plan.

The adoption of the Plan by the Board shall not be construed as amending,
modifying or rescinding any previously approved incentive arrangement or as
creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive
arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the
granting of stock options otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements
may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.

16. Limitation of Liability.

As illustrative of the limitations of liability of the Company, but not
intended to be exhaustive thereof, nothing in the Plan shall be construed to:

( ) give any person any right to be granted an Option or Restricted Stock
Award other than at the sole discretion of the Committee;

( ) give any person any rights whatsoever with respect to Shares except as
specifically provided in the Plan;

( ) limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to
terminate the employment or service of any person at any time; or

( ) be evidence of any agreement or understanding, expressed or implied,
that the Company will employ any person at any particular rate of compensation
or for any particular period of time.

17. Regulations and Other Approvals; Governing Law.

1.0 Except as to matters of federal law, the Plan and the rights of
all persons claiming hereunder shall be construed and determined in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to conflicts of
laws principles thereof.

2.0 The obligation of the Company to sell or deliver Shares with
respect to Options and Restricted Stock granted under the Plan shall be subject
to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including all applicable federal
and state securities laws, and the obtaining of all such approvals by
governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the
Committee.

3.0 The Board may make such changes as may be necessary or
appropriate to comply with the rules and regulations of any government
authority, or to obtain for Eligible Individuals granted Incentive Stock Options
the tax benefits under the applicable provisions of the Code and regulations
promulgated thereunder.

4.0 Each Option and Restricted Stock Award is subject to the
requirement that, if at any time the Committee determines, in its discretion,
that the listing, registration or qualification of Shares issuable pursuant to
the Plan is required by any securities exchange or under any state or federal
law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary
or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the grant of Options or
Restricted Stock, or the issuance of Shares pursuant thereto, no Options or
Restricted Stock shall be granted or payment made or Shares issued, in whole or
in part, unless listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has
been effected or obtained free of any conditions as acceptable to the Committee.

5.0 Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or any Agreement
to the contrary, in the event that the disposition of Shares acquired pursuant
to the Plan is not covered by a then current registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and is not otherwise
exempt from such registration, such Shares shall be restricted against transfer
to the extent required by the Securities Act and Rule 144 or other regulations
thereunder. The Committee may require any individual receiving a Restricted
Stock Award or Shares pursuant to an Option granted under the Plan, as a
condition precedent to receipt of such Shares, to represent and warrant to the
Company in writing that the Shares acquired by such individual are acquired
without a view to any distribution thereof and will not be sold or transferred
other than pursuant to an effective registration thereof under said Act or
pursuant to an exemption applicable under the Securities Act or the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder. The certificates evidencing any of such
Shares shall be appropriately amended to reflect their status as restricted
securities as aforesaid.

18. Miscellaneous.

1.0 Multiple Agreements. The terms of each Option and Restricted
Stock Award may differ from other Options and Restricted Stock Awards granted
under the Plan at the same time, or at some other time. The Committee may also
grant more than one Option or Restricted Stock Award to a given Eligible
Individual during the term of the Plan, either in addition to, or in
substitution for, one or more Options or Restricted Stock Awards previously
granted to that Eligible Individual.

2.0 Withholding of Taxes.

( ) At such times as an Optionee or Grantee recognizes taxable income in
connection with the receipt of Shares hereunder (a "Taxable Event"), the
Optionee or Grantee shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the federal,
state and local income taxes and other amounts as may be required by law to be
withheld by the Company in connection with the Taxable Event (the "Withholding
Taxes") prior to the issuance of such Shares. The Company shall have the right
to deduct from any payment of cash to an Optionee or Grantee an amount equal to
the Withholding Taxes in satisfaction of the obligation to pay Withholding
Taxes. The Committee may provide in the Agreement, at the time of grant or at
any time thereafter, that the Optionee or Grantee, in satisfaction of the
obligation to pay Withholding Taxes, may elect to have withheld a portion of the
Shares then issuable to him or her having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal
to the Withholding Taxes.

( ) If an Optionee makes a disposition, within the meaning of Section
424(c) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder, of any Share or
Shares issued to such Optionee pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock
Option within the two-year period commencing on the day after the date of the
grant or within the one-year period commencing on the day after the date of
transfer of such Share or Shares to the Optionee pursuant to such exercise, the
Optionee shall, within ten (10) days of such disposition, notify the Company
thereof, by delivery of written notice to the Company at its principal executive
office.

1. Effective Date. The effective date of the Plan shall be as determined
by the Board, subject only to the approval by the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the securities of the Company present, or represented,
and entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders duly held in accordance with
the applicable laws of the State of Delaware within twelve (12) months of the
adoption of the Plan by the Board.
