acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Plan of Reorganization. It is hereby agreed that all of the BeFirst
Common Stock shall be acquired by CAI in exchange solely for CAI common voting
stock (the "CAI Shares"). It is the intention of the parties hereto that all of
the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of BeFirst shall be acquired

outstanding shares of CAI common stock, as follows:
(a) At Closing, CAI shall, subject to the conditions set forth herein,
issue an aggregate of 8,750,000 shares of CAI common stock (after giving effect

for immediate delivery to the BeFirst Stockholders in exchange for the CAI
Shares.
(b) Each BeFirst Stockholder shall execute this Agreement or a written
consent to the exchange of their BeFirst Common Stock for CAI Shares.
(c) Unless otherwise agreed by CAI and BeFirst this transaction shall close
only in the event CAI is able to acquire at least 80% of the outstanding BeFirst

of the BeFirst Common Stock.
3. Pre-Closing Events. The Closing is subject to the completion of the
following:
(a) CAI shall have authorized 50,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common

CAI for cancellation, leaving 5,000,000 shares issued and outstanding prior to
the CAI Reverse Stock Split.
(c) CAI shall effectuate the CAI Reverse Stock Split at or about the time
of Closing, and shall have 2,500,000 shares of its common stock issued and
outstanding and no other shares of capital stock issued or outstanding not
taking into effect the shares to be issued under this Agreement.
(d) CAI shall demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of BeFirst that it
has no material assets and no liabilities contingent or fixed other than the

owned by CAI. The holders of such certificates previously evidencing shares of
BeFirst Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date shall
cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of BeFirst Common Stock
except as otherwise provided herein or by law;

will remain outstanding.
5. Other Events Occurring at Closing. At Closing, the following shall be
accomplished:

control of new management of CAI at Closing in good funds or shall be
represented by the conversion of previous loans to BeFirst arranged for by CAI.
The CAI Financing shall have been completed in compliance with all applicable
state and federal securities laws and the securities sold shall be delivered at
Closing to the investors in the CAI Financing. Persons who have made bridge
loans to BeFirst pursuant to arrangements made by CAI, shall be given the
opportunity to convert the principal of said loans to the purchase of shares in
the private offering prior to Closing upon the same terms as other investors in
the private offering.
