NOW, THEREFORE, for the mutual consideration set out herein, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Targets (the "Target
Shares"). It is the intention of the parties hereto that all of the issued and
outstanding Target Shares shall be acquired by the 4 Acquiror in a tax free
exchange for 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock (on a post reverse stock split
basis) of the Acquiror (the "10,000,000 Acquiror Shares").
2. Exchange of Shares. The Acquiror and the Target Stockholders agree that
all of the issued and outstanding Target Shares shall be exchanged at the

outstanding immediately prior to Closing, as follows:
(a) The 10,000,000 Acquiror Shares will, at the Closing, be delivered to

Date, the form of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.
(b) The Acquiror presently has 8,759,170 shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding which immediately prior to the Closing, will represent 1,000,000

issued pursuant to this Agreement and the 1,000,000 to be shares issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Closing (on a post-reverse stock-split
basis), the Company shall not have any other shares of Common Stock, preferred
stock, warrants, options, rights, convertible securities or other securities
outstanding, or direct and/or indirect agreements, oral or otherwise to issue
any such securities.
(c) All references herein to shares of Acquiror's Common Stock shall
reflect the 1 for 8.759170 and be on a reverse stock split. The parties hereto,
however, acknowledge that the reverse stock split will not be reflected solely
for purposes of the listing and trading of the Common Stock on the NASD OTC
Bulletin Board until on or about January 6, 1998.
3. Delivery of Shares. At the Closing, the Target Stockholders will
deliver stock certificates to the Acquiror representing all of the Target Shares
