Atlantic City, NJ - September 26, 2000 - Tempus Technologies and MetaExchange announced today the integration of their respective technologies to provide video rentailers a window into the MetaExchange previously viewed video marketplace from within Spectrum RetailNET.

The MetaExchange (also available at http://videos.MetaExchange.com/) is an Internet-based market where rentailers can sell and buy previously viewed video media at net speed with the click of a mouse.

Ken Sedgwick, CTO of MetaExchange said: "By including market information in RetailNET we bring the market to the manager's desktop. This will greatly increase the efficiency of the rentailer - empowering him to better manage his business and increase profits."

Kent Sweitzer, President of Tempus Technologies, Inc. added, "The MetaExchange online market is an excellent resource for independent rentailers looking to control their inventory. We believe this partnership will lead to even more powerful solutions in the future."
