<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On December 14,
2005, Tucows.com Co., a subsidiary of Tucows, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) entered into
an Asset Purchase Agreement (the &#147;Agreement&#148;) with Critical Path, Inc., a
California corporation (&#147;Critical Path&#148;). The Agreement provides for the
purchase by the Company of substantially all of the assets and certain
liabilities of Critical Path&#146;s Hosted Messaging business (the &#147;Acquisition&#148;). &#160;The Company has agreed to pay to Critical Path
$6,250,000.00 on the closing date as consideration for the Acquisition.&#160; The Company will place an additional
$1,750,000.00 into an escrow account, which shall be payable in whole or in
part to Critical Path upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. &#160;The Company and Critical Path expect the
Acquisition to close during the first quarter of 2006.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company
and Critical Path have made customary representations, warranties and covenants
in the Agreement, including a covenant by Critical Path not to solicit or enter
into any other discussions relating to the acquisition of all or a portion of
the assets of the Hosted Messaging business.&#160;
The Company and Critical Path have also agreed not to solicit any
employee of the other party for a period of one year after the effective time
of the Acquisition.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Critical Path
has also agreed that, for a period of one year after the effective time of the
Acquisition: (a) it will not own, operate, control or otherwise participate in
any business of the Hosted Messaging business, as purchased by the Company,
anywhere in the world; and (b) it will not solicit any person who is, or who
has been within the past two years, a customer of the Hosted Messaging
business, for the purpose of providing any service or product that competes
with the Hosted Messaging business.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Agreement
