To accomplish such purposes and in consideration of the premises and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Sale and Purchase of Assets

conditions of this Agreement, the Seller hereby sells, assigns, conveys,
transfers and delivers on the date hereof to the Purchaser, all of Seller's
right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets, in consideration of
the payment by the Purchaser of the Purchase Price.

in the form of Exhibit B annexed hereto (the "Warrant"), exercisable in whole or
in part at any time after December 17, 2002 (the "Exercise Date"), to acquire
such number of shares (the "Warrant Shares") of common stock, par value $.0001
per share, of the Purchaser ("Common Stock"), that represent, in the aggregate,
a total value of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), determined as of the
Exercise Date, as follows: The per share exercise price of the Warrant Shares
shall be equal to seventy five percent (75%) of the average bid price per share

Exercise Date. The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon Warrant exercise shall
be subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits, combinations,
reclassifications and other capital changes. The Seller acknowledges that such

appropriate actions to authorize such issuance prior to the Exercise Date.

have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the

agrees that, until such time as the Warrant and Warrant Shares shall have been
registered under the Securities Act or the Seller demonstrates to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Purchaser and its counsel that such registration shall no
longer be required, such securities may be subject to a stop-transfer order
placed against the transfer of such securities, and any certificates
representing the Warrant and the Warrant Shares shall bear a restrictive legend
in substantially the following form:
