Excedent Partners with The Sigma Grill to Offer Employees "Meals For Deals" Program

Employees to Receive Free Lunch When Excedent Exceeds Monthly Sales Goals

BLACKSBURG, Va. — (NOVEMBER 11, 2004) — Excedent Technologies, the proven provider of email hosting solutions for small businesses, today announced a partnership with the Sigma Grill, the new restaurant that recently opened up inside the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center. Under the terms of this partnership, the Sigma Grill will provide Excedent employees with a specified number of free meals each month that Excedent exceeds its monthly sales goals. The Sigma Grill provides Excedent with discounted prices in exchange for monthly prepayments - the number of meals directly correlates to the sales performance from the previous month.

"We're excited to be working with the owners of the Sigma Grill," commented Patrick Matthews, chief executive officer of Excedent Technologies. "We're even more excited to be exceeding our sales goals. With the opening of the new restaurant and the sales growth we've been experiencing, we figured this would be a great way to reward our employees, regardless of their position and type of contribution to the company. We have a great team and as we grow, we are exploring several programs to help us recruit and retain quality people."

The Sigma Grill opened for business this past September. "September was a big month for both of us," commented Matthews. "We look forward to the many more ahead."
