1.1 Sale and Issuance of Common Stock and Warrants. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Investors agree to purchase at the
Closing, and purchase or cause to be purchased pursuant to Section 1.4 below,
and the Company and certain Insiders of the Company (see Section 1.5) agree to
sell and issue to the Investors at the Closing, and to the Investors and/or
other persons pursuant to Sections 1.4 and 1.6, that number of shares of the
Company's and certain Insider's Common Stock, as well as Warrants issued by the
Company, all as set forth and for the purchase prices stated herein.
1.2 Closing. The purchase and sale of the Units contemplated under
Section 1.3 shall take place at the offices of the Company, at 5:00 p.m.
Mountain Standard Time on July 25, 1998, or at such other time and place as the
Company and Investors acquiring in the aggregate more than one-half of the

writing (which time and place are designated as the "Closing"). At the Closing
the Company shall deliver to each Investor a certificate representing the Common
Stock that such Investor is purchasing against payment of the purchase price
therefore by certified check, wire transfer, or a combination thereof.
1.3 Funding upon Execution of this Agreement. Upon the execution of
this Agreement, BCP shall purchase thirty (30) Units of the Company's Private
Placement Memorandum dated November 26, 1997 (the "PPM"), for a purchase price
of $375,000. Pursuant to the PPM, BCP shall receive 300,000 shares of Common
Stock priced at $1.25 per share, and 150,000 Warrants exercisable at $3.00 per
share. A copy of the PPM and the PPM Warrant Agreement have been previously

of same are attached hereto as Exhibit 1. Immediately subsequent to the purchase
of the Units contemplated under this Section 1.3, the Company shall close the
PPM, and the Company shall not accept any other monies pursuant to the PPM.
1.4 Subsequent Sales of Common Stock. BCP shall purchase, or cause to
be purchased by third party investors approved by the Company in its sole
discretion ("Third Party Investors"), up to an additional 3,211,000 shares of
Common Stock of the Company, and shall purchase, or cause to be purchased
100,000 shares of Common Stock each from Xxxxxxx X. Northern and Xxxx X. Xxxx
(the "Insiders") (see Section 1.5), for a total investment of $10,000,000 (the
"total investment"), and for a maximum total sale of 3,411,000 shares. The
Company and the Insiders shall sell up to the balance of the authorized number
of shares of Common Stock not sold at the Closing at a minimum price of $2.93169
per share. The shares
-1-

may be sold at a price higher than $2.93169 per share. The total investment may
be divided into four (4) equal payments of $2,500,000 per payment, each said
payment to be divided between the Company and the Insiders as stated herein. On
or before 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on August 15, 1998, BCP shall
purchase, or cause to be purchased, the first block of shares of Common Stock
representing the first payment of $2,500,000. The number of shares sold in each

$2,500,000, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the price per share. The
number of shares sold in each block shall include 25,000 shares sold by Xxxxxxx
X. Northern, and 25,000 shares sold by Xxxx X. Xxxx. The second, third, and
fourth payments made by BCP or Third Party Investors shall be completed in a
time frame to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company and the
board advisor referenced in Section 5.7. Subsequent to the first payment of
$2,500,000, the remaining shares representing the $7,500,000 to be invested
thereafter (the "remaining shares") may be sold through a registered public
offering. In the event of a registered public offering, the structure of four
(4) equal payments referenced herein may be abrogated, provided that, in any
event, the total net proceeds to the Company under this Section 1.4, including
the first payment of $2,500,000, shall total $10,000,000. In the event that the
remaining shares are sold at a price higher than $2.93169 per share, BCP shall
have the option to purchase from the Company the portion of the remaining
authorized shares not sold to fulfill the total investment of $10,000,000 at a
price of $0.01 per share (the "option shares"), pursuant to an Option Agreement
between the Company and BCP to be executed subsequent to the date of this
Agreement. The number of option shares shall equal 3,211,000 shares minus the
number of shares not sold to cause the total investment of $10,000,000.
1.5 Sales by Insiders. The Insiders shall each sell to BCP and/or Third
Party Investors 100,000 shares of Common Stock previously issued to each
Insider. Said shares shall be included in the shares purchased by BCP or Third
Party Investors pursuant to Section 1.4 above. The sales of shares by both Mr.
Northern and Xx. Xxxx may be divided into four (4) equal parts of 25,000 shares
each, with the sale of each part taking place concurrently with each payment
contemplated under Section 1.4. The sales of all of the Insiders' shares shall
be at a minimum price of $2.93169 per share, but may be sold at a higher price
as envisioned under Section 1.4.

shall vest in four (4) equal parts of 350,000 warrants per part, upon each of
the first, second, third, and fourth payments of $2,500,000 made by BCP or Third
Party Investors as referenced in Section 1.4.

returns and reports as required by law. These returns and reports are true and
correct in all material respects. The Company has paid all taxes and other
assessments due, except those contested by it in good faith. The provision for
taxes of the Company as shown in the Financial Statements is adequate for taxes
due or accrued as of the date thereof. The Company has not elected pursuant to
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to be treated as a
Subchapter S corporation or a collapsible corporation pursuant to Section
1362(a) or Section 341(f) of the Code, nor has it made any other elections
pursuant to the Code (other than elections that relate solely to methods of

Company has never had any tax deficiency proposed or assessed against it and has
not executed any waiver of any statute of limitations on the assessment or
collection of any tax or governmental charge. None of the Company's federal
income tax returns and none of its state income or franchise tax or sales or use
tax returns has ever been audited by governmental authorities. Since the date of
the Financial Statements, the Company has made adequate provisions on its books
of account for all taxes, assessments and governmental charges with respect to
its business, properties and operations for such period. The Company has
withheld or collected from each payment made to each of its employees, the
amount of all taxes (including, but not limited to, federal income taxes,
Federal Insurance Contribution Act taxes and Federal Unemployment Tax Act taxes)
required to be withheld or collected therefrom, and has paid the same to the
proper tax receiving officers or authorized depositaries.
2.27 Insurance. The Company has in full force and effect standard fire
and casualty insurance policies, sufficient in amount (subject to reasonable
deductibles) to allow it to replace any of its properties that might be damaged
or destroyed.
2.28 Minute Books. The minute books of the Company are available to the
Investors, and contain a complete summary of all meetings of directors and
stockholders since the time of incorporation and reflect all transactions
referred to in such minutes accurately in all material respects.

subject to (and none of its assets or properties is bound by or subject to) any
written or oral, express or implied, contract, commitment or arrangement with
any labor union, and no labor union has requested or, to the best of the
Company's knowledge, has sought to represent any of the employees,
representatives or agents of the Company. There is no strike or other labor
dispute involving the Company pending, or to the best of the Company's
knowledge, threatened, that could have a material adverse effect on the assets,
properties, financial condition, operating results, or business of the Company
(as such business is presently conducted and as it is proposed to be conducted),
nor is the Company aware of any labor organization activity involving its
employees. The Company is not aware that any officer or key employee, or that
any group of key employees, intends to terminate their employment with the
Company, nor does the Company have a present intention to terminate the
employment of any of the foregoing. The employment of each officer and employee
of the Company is terminable at the will of the Company. To the
-10-

best of its knowledge, the Company has complied in all material respects with
all applicable state and federal equal employment opportunity and other laws
related to employment.
2.30 Net Operating Loss Carryforward. The information contained in the

regarding the application of Section 382 of the Code to the Company's federal
net operating loss carryforward is true and correct to the best of the Company's

agreement constitutes its valid and legally binding obligation, and enforceable
in accordance with its terms.
3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with such
Investor in reliance upon such Investor's representation to the Company, which
by such Investor's execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby confirms,
that the Common Stock to be received by such Investor (collectively, the
"Securities") will be acquired for investment for such Investor's own account,
not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of
any part thereof, and that such Investor has no present intention of selling,
granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing

sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person,
with respect to any of the Securities.

perform at any time by any Investor may or will cause substantial and
irreparable harm to the Company.

all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether
to purchase the Common Stock. Such Investor further represents that it has had
an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding
the terms and conditions of the offering of the Common Stock and the business,
properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company. The foregoing,
however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the
Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of the Investors to rely
thereon.

proprietary information gained as a result of membership on the Board.
3.6 Investment Experience. Such Investor is an Investor in securities
of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend
for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge

of acquiring the Common Stock.

within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 501 of
Regulation D, as presently in effect.

the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company
in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under
the Act, only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such
Investor represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in
effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.

this Section 3, and:
(a) There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the Act
covering such proposed dispositions and such disposition is made in accordance
with such Registration Statement; or
(b) (i) Such Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed
disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of
the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if reasonably
requested by the Company, such Investor shall have furnished the Company with an
opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such disposition
will not require registration of such shares under the Act. It is agreed that
the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant
to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.
(c) BCP and BCG shall not transfer any shares owned or controlled by
either or both of them to any party related or affiliated with or to BCP and/or

Securities may bear one or all of the following legends:

of 1933, as amended. They may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged or

to the securities under such Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Company that such registration is not required or unless sold pursuant to Rule
144 of such Act."
(b) Any legend required by the laws of the States of Nevada and
Arizona.

not a United States person, such Investor hereby represents that he or she has

jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities
or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within his
