Premises
--------
This Agreement provides for the acquisition by LASER of all of the
issued and outstanding shares of the BROADCAST Shareholders solely in exchange

all for the purpose of effecting a so-called "tax-free" reorganization
pursuant to Sections 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as

Agreement in a non-material manner to attain such qualification is necessary,
they will negotiate in good faith to make such required modifications.
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, as hereinafter set forth, among
other things, all of the outstanding and reserved securities of BROADCAST will
be exchanged for shares of LASER common stock, in reliance on applicable
exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and

NOW THEREFORE, on the stated premises and for and in consideration of
the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and the mutual
benefits to the parties to be derived therefrom, it is hereby agreed as
follows:

REPRESENTATIONS, COVENANTS, AND WARRANTIES OF BROADCAST
As an inducement to, and to obtain the reliance of LASER, BROADCAST and
the BROADCAST Shareholders specifically named hereafter represent and warrant
as follows:
Section 1.01 Organization. BROADCAST is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of Utah.
BROADCAST has the corporate power and is duly authorized, qualified,

and orders of public authorities to own all of its properties and assets and
to carry on its business in all material respects as it is now being
conducted, including qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in
the states in which the character and location of the assets owned by it or
the nature of the business transacted by it requires qualification. Included
in the BROADCAST Schedules (as hereinafter defined) are complete and correct
copies of the articles of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws of BROADCAST
as in effect on the date hereof.
Section 1.02 Capitalization. The authorized capitalization of
BROADCAST consists of 25,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per
share, of which 10,176,775 shares are currently issued and outstanding. All

extent reflected or reserved against therein, any liabilities or obligations
(absolute or contingent) which should be reflected in a balance sheet or the
notes thereto prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and all assets reflected therein are properly reported and present
fairly the value of the assets of BROADCAST, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. The statements of operations, stockholders'
equity, and changes in financial position reflect fairly the information

by it from inception to the date hereof, or has properly filed extensions to
file such returns.

or otherwise disposed of since such date in the ordinary course of business),
free and clear of all liens, pledges, charges, or encumbrances except (a)
statutory liens or claims not yet delinquent; (b) such imperfections of title

properties; and (c) as described in the BROADCAST Schedules. Except as set
forth in the BROADCAST Schedules, BROADCAST owns, free and clear of any liens,

As an inducement to, and to obtain reliance of LASER, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx,
Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, and Broadcast International, Ltd. for
the purposes of this Article referred to as "BROADCAST Shareholders",
represent and warrant as follows:
Section 2.01 Ownership of BROADCAST Shares.

respect to itself that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the number of
common shares set forth opposite its name on Schedule 4.01, free and clear of
any claims, charges, equities, liens, security interests, and encumbrances
whatsoever, and each such BROADCAST Shareholder has full right, power, and
authority to transfer, assign, convey, and deliver its BROADCAST shares; and

set forth herein.

registration under the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2)
thereof.
(2) All certificates for the shares of LASER's common stock
will bear legends restricting any transactions therein, directly or
indirectly, unless they are first registered under applicable

demonstrated to the satisfaction of LASER and its legal counsel,
based on such third party legal opinions, affidavits, and
transfer agency procedures as LASER will reasonably require or have
in place generally LASER will not unreasonably withhold its consent
to such registration;

transfers of certificates for the shares of LASER's common stock to
be issued pursuant to this Agreement unless the foregoing
requirements have been met and have been confirmed as having been
