Exent Technologies Announces New Games and Edutainment On Demand Customer - KPN's Planet Media Group

Bethesda, Md., March 24, 2003 - Exent Technologies, the global leader in Applications-on-Demand technologies, announced today that it has been chosen to enable Planet Game Club, a new Games-on-Demand service by Planet Media Group, a KPN wholly owned subsidiary. Planet Media Group further plans to utilize Exent's EXEtender product to launch a kids' edutainment service by year end.

Planet Game Club, which was launched today, is the first games-on-demand subscription service in the Netherlands and is operated under the Planet Internet brand. Using Exent's platform - EXEtender™ - Planet Internet subscribers are offered an ability to play a wide range of the latest PC-based games from their home computers, utilizing their broadband connectivity. Users follow a simple click & play procedure, in which games are activated without an installation required, long before the entire game has been fully downloaded, after making sure that the users' machines are capable of running such game.

" We are very pleased to be the first commercial party in the Netherlands that works with the innovative Applications on Demand technology from Exent Technologies", said Ronald Hoeksma, manager broadband services. "Exent has been outstanding in laying the basis for successful exploitation of executable software over broadband Internet, by building excellent software and publisher relations. Planet Media Group is confident about building a strong consumer proposition on this basis."

"Exent is very proud to team up with Planet Media Group to deliver the first games on demand service in the Netherlands", said Zvi Levgoren, Exent's CEO. "We are confident that Planet Media Group's dominance in the Netherlands will serve as a driving force to make games and education on demand a household service at the very near future."
