A. Organization and Good Standing.
1. The Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of Texas, and has full corporate power and
corporate authority to carry on its business as now conducted by it. Neither
the character of the properties and assets of Seller nor the nature of the
business transacted by Seller is such that it is required to qualify to do

2. Seller has furnished to Purchaser complete and correct copies of the
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Seller as in effect on the date hereof.

Seller without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent Purchaser
shall have the absolute right to withhold unless the proposed issuee agrees to
grant Purchaser an option to purchase the securities to be acquired from the
Seller pursuant to an Option Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth in
Exhibit B.
C. Authority of Seller. Seller has legal capacity and authority to
execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to
consummate the transactions provided for herein. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by Seller and constitutes the valid and binding agreement
of Seller, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting the
enforceability of creditors' rights generally, general equitable principles and
the discretion of courts in granting equitable remedies.
D. Financial Statement and Tax Returns. Seller heretofore has delivered
to Purchaser Seller's tax returns for the years 1995, 1996 and 1997 ("Tax
Returns") and Seller's balance sheet and income statement for fiscal year ending
December 31, 1998, including the notes thereto ("Financial Statement"). The
Financial Statement has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied throughout the period indicated and
fairly presents the financial position of Seller as of the dates thereof.
E. Absence of Certain Changes. Since December 31, 1998, there has not
been (a) any material change in the business, financial condition or operations
of Seller; (b) any damage, destruction or loss materially adversely affecting
Seller's properties and business; (c) any declaration, setting aside or payment
of any dividend, whether in cash, stock or property in respect of Seller's
common stock, or any redemption or acquisition of such stock of Seller; (d) any
entry into any Material Contract (as hereinafter defined) or any other material
commitment or transaction not in the ordinary course of business; or (e) any
change by Seller in its accounting methods or principles.
F. Contracts. Seller has provided to Purchaser a schedule of all
"Material Contracts" to which seller is a party or by which Seller is bound. As

commitments (i) entered into out of the ordinary course of business or (ii) of
material importance to the conduct of the business of Seller; (b) bonus,
incentive compensation, pension, profit sharing, stock option, group insurance,
medical reimbursement or employee welfare or benefit plans of any nature

commitments to or with the individual employees or consultants extending for a
period of more than one month from the date hereof or providing for earlier
termination only upon payment of a penalty of the equivalent thereof; (f)
contracts and commitments to which seller is a party or by which Seller is bound
which involve an annual commitment or annual payment by any party thereto of
more than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) individually, or which have a
fixed term extending more than twenty-four (24) months from the date hereof and
which involve an annual commitment or annual payment by any party thereto of
more than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) individually; (g) credit and loan
agreements, indentures, promissory notes and other documents representing
indebtedness for borrowed money; and (h) agreements and commitments with respect
to trademarks, service marks, trade names, patents, patent applications,

items. To the best knowledge of Seller, the Material Contracts are valid and
binding contracts of Seller, enforceable in accordance with their terms (subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting the
enforceability of creditors' rights generally, general equitable principles and
the discretion of courts in granting equitable remedies), in each case to the
extent material to the assets, liabilities, results of operations, financial
condition and business of Seller. To the best knowledge of Seller, except for
events or occurrences, the consequences of which, individually or in the
aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on the assets, liabilities,
results of operations, financial condition or business of Seller, there is not
under any of the Material Contracts any existing breach, default or event of
default by Seller or event that with notice or lapse of time or both would
constitute a breach, default or event of default by Seller, nor is Seller aware
of, and Seller has not received notice of, or made a claim with respect to, any
breach or default by any other party thereto.
G. Title to and Condition of Properties. Except as set forth on Exhibit
"C" attached hereto, Seller has good and marketable title to its properties
reflected in its Financial Statements or acquired after the date thereof (other
than properties sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of
business), and all of such properties are held free and clear of all title
defects, liens, encumbrances and restrictions.
H. Accounts Receivable. Each account receivable shown in the Financial
Statements generated since the date thereof represents a bona fide amount due
from an account debtor in the usual and ordinary course of business.
I. Outstanding Indebtedness. Seller has delivered a true and complete
schedule of all notes payable, trade payables and other indebtedness owed by
Seller, including a description of the material terms thereof and a description
of all properties or assets pledged, mortgaged or otherwise hypothecated
(voluntarily or involuntarily) as security therefor.
J. Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. To the best knowledge of Seller,
Seller has no debt, liability, or obligation of any nature, whether accrued,
absolute, contingent, or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, that is
not reflected or reserved against in the Financial Statements, except for (a)
those that may have been incurred after the date of same and (b) those that are
not required by generally accepted accounting principles to be included in a
balance sheet. All debts, liabilities, and obligations incurred after that date
were incurred in the
5
ordinary course of business and are usual and normal in amount both individually
and in the aggregate.
K. Taxes.
1. Seller has duly filed all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns
required to be filed by it, all such returns are true and correct in all
material respects, and Seller has duly paid or made adequate provision for the
payment of all taxes which are due and payable pursuant to such returns. The
Seller does currently owe the IRS Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.00) in back
payroll taxes and has arranged an agreed payment plan. The liability for taxes
reflected in the Financial Statements is sufficient for the payment of all
unpaid taxes, whether or not disputed, that are accrued or applicable for the
period ended as of the date thereof and for all years and periods ended prior
thereto. All deficiencies asserted as a result of any examinations by the
Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority have been paid, fully
settled or adequately provided for in the Financial Statements. There are no
pending claims asserted for taxes of the Seller or outstanding agreements or
waivers extending the statutory period of limitation applicable to any tax
return of Seller for any period. Seller has not filed a consent to the
application of Section 341(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"). Seller has provided Purchaser true, complete and correct copies
of each of the Seller's federal income tax returns for the last five years and
such other tax returns as have been requested by Purchaser.
2. All contributions due from Seller pursuant to any unemployment
insurance or workers compensation laws and all sales or use taxes which are due
or payable by Seller have been paid in full and will be so paid through the
Closing Date. Seller has withheld and paid to, or will cause to be paid to, the
appropriate taxing authorities all amounts required to be withheld from the
wages of their employees under state law and the applicable provisions of the
Code, and Seller will continue to do so with respect to all wages paid by them
through the Closing Date.
L. Legal Proceedings. Except as set forth on Exhibit "C" attached hereto,
there are no suits, actions, claims, proceedings or investigations pending or,
to the best knowledge of Seller, threatened against, relating to or involving
Seller (or any of their respective officers or directors in connection with the
business of any Seller) before any court, arbitrator or administrative or
governmental body, which, if finally determined adversely, are reasonably
likely, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on
the assets, liabilities, results of operations, financial condition or business
of Seller. Seller is not subject to any judgment, decree, injunction, rule or
order of any court which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect
on the assets, liabilities, results of operations, financial condition or
business of Seller or to cause a material limitation on Purchaser's ability to
operate the business of Seller after the Closing.
M. Labor Relations. Seller has not been a party to any contract or
agreement with a labor union or any local or subdivision thereof, nor has Seller
been charged with any unresolved unfair labor practices. Seller has no

union. There are no material controversies pending or, to the best
6
knowledge of Seller, threatened between Seller and their employees. The best

coverages maintained by Seller including names of carriers and amounts of
coverage. Seller shall maintain such insurance through the Closing Date.
O. Compliance with Laws. To the best knowledge of Seller, Seller has not
failed to comply with any applicable law, statute, ordinance, regulation, decree
or any other legal requirement, except where the failure to comply would not
have a material adverse effect on the business, properties or financial
condition of Seller.

Seller, its delivery to Purchaser and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not conflict with any provisions of the Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws of Seller and will not conflict with or result in a

assets are bound, or result in the creation of any lien, encumbrance or charge
upon any of the properties or assets of Seller.

XIV. MISCELLANEOUS
A. Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and
understanding of Seller and Purchaser relating to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior representations, agreements, and understandings, oral or
written, relating to such matter.
B. Assignment. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement and
any documents executed in connection herewith shall not be assigned by Seller or
Purchaser without the prior written consent of the other party, and any
assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void.
C. Severability. Except as expressly provided to the contrary herein,
each section, part, term, or provision of this Agreement shall be considered
severable, and if for any reason any section, part, term, or provision herein is
determined to be invalid and contrary to or in conflict with any existing or
future law or regulation by a court or governmental agency having valid
jurisdiction, such determination shall not impair the operation of or have any
other effect on other sections, parts, terms, or provisions of this Agreement as
may remain otherwise intelligible, and the latter shall continue to be given
full force and effect and bind the parties hereto, and said invalid sections,
parts, terms, or provisions shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement.
D. Public Announcements. Prior to Closing, neither party hereto shall
make any public announcement or press release concerning this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated herein except as may be mutually agreed upon by the
parties in writing.
E. Construction and Interpretation of Agreement. This Agreement is to be
performed in the State of California and shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California. Should any provision of
this Agreement require
14
interpretation, it is agreed that the presumption that the terms hereof shall be
more strictly construed against a party by reason of the rule or conclusion that
a document should be construed more strictly against the party who itself or
through its agent prepared the same shall not apply. It is agreed and stipulated
that all parties hereto have participated equally in the preparation of this
Agreement and legal counsel was consulted by each party before the execution of
this Agreement.
F. Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in
any way except by an instrument in writing executed by all parties hereto.
G. Access and Information. Seller shall permit Purchaser and Purchaser's
representatives, employees, agents, or independent contractors of Purchaser
access to all books, records, and documents pertaining to Seller at all times
during normal business hours from the date hereof to the Closing Date. Seller
shall cooperate to the fullest extent in securing and providing to Purchaser all
such information which may be in the possession of others.
H. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same instrument.
I. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the terms and provisions
hereof shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns whenever the context so requires or
permits.
J. Time. Time is of the essence in this Agreement and each and all of its
provisions. Any extension of time granted for the performance of any duty under
this Agreement shall not be considered an extension of time for the performance
of any other obligation under this Agreement.
K. Captions. Captions, titles to sections, and paragraph headings used
herein are for convenience of reference and shall not be deemed to limit or
alter any provision hereof.
L. Governing Document. This Agreement shall govern in the event of any
inconsistency between this Agreement and any of the Schedules attached hereto or
any other document or instrument executed or delivered pursuant hereto or in
connection herewith.
M. Arbitration. Any controversy arising out of, or relating to, this
Agreement, or a breach, shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by
the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its rules. A judgment
upon an award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction. The initiating party shall give written notice to the other party
of its decision to arbitrate by providing a specific statement setting forth the
nature of the dispute, the amount involved, the remedy sought, and the hearing
locale requested. The initiating party shall be responsible for all filing
requirements and the payment of any fees according to the rules of the
applicable regional office of the American Arbitration Association. The
arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party, if any, as determined by the
arbitrator, all of its
15
costs and expenses including attorneys' fees, arbitrator's fees, and
out-of-pocket expenses of any kind. The consideration of the parties to be
bound by arbitration is not only the waiver of trial by jury, but also the
waiver of any rights to appeal the arbitration finding.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Stock Purchase and
Option Agreement on the date first written above.
