AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION ("Agreement") between
INTERNATIONAL INTERNET, INC., a Delaware corporation ("International Internet")
and the persons listed in Exhibit A hereof (collectively the "Shareholders"),
being the owners of record of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Caprock
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Caprock").
Whereas, International Internet wishes to acquire and the Shareholders
wish to transfer all of the issued and outstanding securities of Caprock in a
transaction intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of
ss.368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Now, therefore, International Internet and the Shareholders adopt this
plan of reorganization and agree as follows:
1. Exchange of Stock
1.1. Number of Shares. The Shareholders agree to transfer to
Internatioal Internet at the Closing (defined below) the number of shares of
common stock of Caprock, $.0001 par value per share, shown opposite their names
in Exhibit A, in exchange pro rata for an aggregate of 500,000 shares of voting
common stock of International Internet, $.00001 par value per share.
1.2. Exchange of Certificates. Each holder of an outstanding
certificate or certificates theretofore representing shares of Caprock common
stock shall surrender such certificate(s) for cancellation to International
Internet, and shall receive in exchange a certificate or certificates
representing the number of full shares of International Internet common stock
into which the shares of Caprock common stock represented by the certificate or
certificates so surrendered shall have been converted. The transfer of Caprock
shares by the Shareholders shall be effected by the delivery to International
Internet at the Closing of certificates representing the transferred shares
endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers executed in blank.
1.3. Fractional Shares. Fractional shares of International Internet
common stock shall not be issued, but in lieu thereof International Internet
shall round up fractional shares to the next highest whole number.
1.4. Further Assurances. At the Closing and from time to time
thereafter, the Shareholders shall execute such additional instruments and take
such other action as International Internet may request in order more
effectively to sell, transfer, and assign the transferred stock to International
Internet and to confirm International Internet's title thereto.
2. Ratio of Exchange. The securities of Caprock owned by the
Shareholders, and the relative securities of International Internet for which
they will be exchanged, are set out opposite their names in Exhibit A.

be taken and all documents to be executed at the Closing shall be deemed to have

deemed taken nor documents deemed executed or delivered until all have been
taken, delivered and executed. The date of Closing may be accelerated or
extended by agreement of the parties.

other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission required by this
Agreement or any signature required thereon may be used in lieu of an original

distributions, to evidence ownership of the number of shares of International

distribution shall be paid to the holders of certificates of Caprock common
stock until presented for exchange at which time any outstanding dividends or
