"Parties") agree as follows:
ARTICLE I

1.1 The Acquisition. At the Closing Date, the capital stock of RSI shall be
acquired by Nexgen.
1.2 Stockholder Approval. The Agreement shall be submitted to the stockholders
of Nexgen for approval as soon as practicable after the execution of the
Agreement.
1.3 Holding Corporation/Operating Corporation. Following the Acquisition,
Nexgen shall continue to exist under, and be governed by, the laws of the
State of Delaware, and the certificate of incorporation and the by-laws of
Nexgen will be the constituent documents of Nexgen as the holding company.
RSI will continue to exist and be governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware and the certificate of incorporation and the by-laws of RSI will
be the constituent documents of RSI as the operating company.

1.4 Directors and Officers. The directors and officers of the Surviving
Corporation immediately following the Acquisition shall be as follows:
Name Positions
-------------- ------------------------
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx President and a Director
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Secretary and a Director
Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Treasurer and a Director
Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx A Director
Such directors and officers shall continue to hold office until the next
annual or special meeting of the stockholders of Nexgen and until their
successors shall have been duly elected and shall have qualified.
1.5 Plan of Acquisition. The method of effecting the Acquisition and the basis
for exchanging and converting the outstanding RSI capital stock into shares
of Common Stock of Nexgen, shall be as follows:
In exchange for all the RSI capital stock, Nexgen shall issued an aggregate
of 12,000,000 shares of its x common stock all of which will be deemed
"restricted stock" as that term is defined in the regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, (the "Commission') promulgated under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Prior to
issuance, Nexgen shall have outstanding 6,985,000 shares of common stock.
1.6 Restrictions on Sale. RME represents and warrants that the Nexgen Stock to
be acquired by it pursuant to the terms of Section 1.2 hereof is being
acquired for its own account, with no intention of assigning any
participation or interest therein (except to its stockholders), and without
a view to the distribution of any portion thereof, except in accordance
with the Securities Act. RME will not sell, assign, transfer or encumber
any of such shares unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities
Act with respect thereto is in effect and the prospectus included therein
meets the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act, or (ii) a
no-action letter is obtained from the staff of the Commission in respect of
such proposed sale, assignment, transfer or encumbering, or (iii) Nexgen
has received a written opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it
that, after an investigation of the relevant facts, such counsel is of the
opinion that such proposed sale, assignment, transfer or encumbering does
not require registration under the Securities Act.
RME further acknowledges that the Nexgen Stock is not being registered
under the Securities Act and must be held indefinitely unless it is
subsequently registered thereunder or an exemption from such registration
is available. RME understands that the Nexgen Stock is not being registered
under the Securities Act in part on the ground that the issuance thereof is
exempt under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an
issuer not involving any public offering; that Nexgen's reliance on such
exemption is predicated in part on the foregoing representation and
warranty of RME and that in the view of the Commission, the statutory basis
for the exemption claimed would not be present if, notwithstanding such
representation and warranty, RME contemplates acquiring any of the Nexgen
Stock for sale upon the occurrence or nonoccurrence of some predetermined
event.
2
1.8 Restrictive Legend. RME understands that in connection with the shares of
Nexgen Common Stock issued pursuant to this section, Nexgen will have an
appropriate stop order placed on its stock records indicating the existence
of the terms of the Agreement, and that the certificates representing the
Nexgen common Stock shall bear a legend in substantially the following
form:
"THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY BE SOLD,
TRANSFERRED OR ENCUMBERED ONLY PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THAT ACT, PURSUANT TO A NO-ACTION LETTER FROM THE
STAFF OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR PURSUANT TO AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS UNNECESSARY."
1.9 Names of Holding Corporation/Operating Corporation
As soon as possible after the execution of this Agreement, Nexgen will file
a certificate of amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware changing
its name to Spongetech Delivery Systems, Inc.; and RSI, a New York
Corporation will change its name to Spongetech International
Industries, Ltd.

all of the accounts receivable reflected in the books of account of RSI in
the ordinary course of its business (net of reserves for bad debts, if any)

suspension or cancellation of any of such other permits, licenses, orders,
franchises and approvals is threatened. RSI is in compliance in all

federal, state, local and foreign governmental bodies which have issued
such permits, licenses, orders, franchises and approvals.

Nexgen Common Stock.

paragraphs 4.2 and 4.3 above, Nexgen will:
