     2.1 Representations and Warranties of InfiniCom.  InfiniCom  represents and
warrants to and agrees with Scoop as follows:

     (a) Ownership of the 24STORE  Stock.  It is the lawful owner of the 24STORE
Stock,  free and clear of all liens,  encumbrances,  restrictions  and claims of
every kind.  The delivery to Scoop of the  certificates  evidencing  the 24STORE
Stock together with a stock power in blank executed by InfiniCom pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement  will transfer to Scoop good and  marketable  title
thereto,  free and clear of all liens,  encumbrances  restrictions and claims of
every kind.

     (b) Existence and Good Standing; Power and Authority. It is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Sweden. It has the power
and authority to enter into,  execute and deliver this  Agreement and to perform
its obligations hereunder.  This Agreement has been duly authorized and approved
by all of its required  corporate  action and  constitutes its legally valid and
binding  obligation and is enforceable  against it in accordance  with its terms
except as such  enforceability  may be  limited  by  bankruptcy,  insolvency  or
similar laws and  equitable  principles  relating to or affecting  the rights of
creditors generally from time to time in effect.

     (c) Existence  and Good  Standing of the Company.  The Company is a company
duly organized and validly existing under the laws of England and Wales.

     (d)  Consents  and  Approvals;  No  Violations.  The  consummation  of  the
Transaction  by it and the Company will not (a) violate any  provision of its or
the  Company's  charter  documents,  (b) violate any statute,  ordinance,  rule,

agency or  authority  applicable  to it or the Company or (c) require any filing
with,  or permit,  consent or  approval  of, or the giving of any notice to, any
governmental or regulatory body, agency or authority, except for an order of the
Bankruptcy Court approving the Transaction pursuant to the Plan (the "Bankruptcy
Court Order") and for those filings,  notices,  permits,  consents and approvals
the absence of which, in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect
on it or the Company.

     (e) Purchase for  Investment.  It is acquiring the Acquired  Shares for its
own account for investment and not with a view toward any resale or distribution
thereof;  provided,  however,  that the disposition of its property shall at all
times remain within its sole control.

behalf of InfiniCom,  the Company,  or any of their  affiliates  is, or will be,

any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     2.2  Representations  and  Warranties   Regarding  Financial   Projections.
InfiniCom  represents  and warrants to and agrees with Scoop that all  financial
and other  information  which InfiniCom or the Company furnished or will furnish
to Scoop  regarding  InfiniCom  and/or the Company for inclusion in the Plan, in
the disclosure statement  accompanying the Plan or in any pleadings filed in the
Bankruptcy  Proceeding  in  connection  with  the  approval  of  the  disclosure
statement or the confirmation of the Plan (a) is true,  accurate and complete as
of its date in all material  respects  except to the extent such  information is
superseded by  information  marked as such,  (b) does not omit any material fact
necessary in order to make the statements of material fact contained therein, in
the light of the  circumstances  under which they were made,  not misleading and
(c) (with respect to historical financial  information only) presents fairly the
financial condition of the organization  covered thereby as of the dates and for
the period covered thereby.

     Any written  projections given to Scoop by or on behalf of InfiniCom and/or
the Company have been prepared using assumptions  which InfiniCom  believes were
reasonable at the date on which such projections were made.

     2.3  Continuing  Duty to  Inform.  Until the  Closing  Date or the  earlier
termination of this Agreement  pursuant to Section 5.1,  InfiniCom  shall inform
Scoop  in  writing  within  seven  (7)  days  of  discovering   such  facts  and
circumstances as would render any information,  financial or otherwise, provided
pursuant  to Section  2.1 or 2.2 false,  incomplete,  misleading,  or  otherwise
unreliable, in each case in any material respect.

                           SECTION 3. THE TRANSACTION

     3.1  Shortfall  Payment.  On or before  the date on which the Plan is filed
with the  Bankruptcy  Court,  InfiniCom  shall  deposit the sum of $225,000 (the
"Shortfall  Principal  Deposit") into an escrow  account (the "Escrow  Account")
with  an  escrow  company  (which  may  be a bank  or  trust  company)  mutually
acceptable to InfiniCom and Scoop (the "Escrow Holder"). The Escrow Holder shall
be  instructed  to invest all amounts from time to time on deposit in the Escrow
Account in such  securities as InfiniCom  and Scoop shall  mutually  agree.  All
investment  earnings  from such  investments  ("Investment  Earnings")  shall be
credited to the Escrow  Account.  On or before the fifth (5th) day of each month
after the date on which the Plan is filed with the Bankruptcy  Court,  InfiniCom
shall  deposit  with the Escrow  Holder for deposit  into the Escrow  Account an
amount  (the  "Shortfall  Interest  Amount";  the  Shortfall  Principal  Deposit
together with all Shortfall  Interest Amounts and, to the extent not included in
a  Shortfall  Interest  Amount,  all  Investment  Earnings,   collectively,  the
"Shortfall  Deposit")  equal to the  difference  between  (a) the product of (i)
$22,500 and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the
calendar  month  preceding  the  payment  date or, in the case of the first such
payment, from and including April 1, 1999 through but excluding the payment date
(each such period,  an "Applicable  Interest  Period"),  and the  denominator of
which shall be three hundred sixty five (365) and (b) the  Investment  Earnings,
if any, for the Applicable Interest Period.  Subject to the terms and conditions
set  forth in this  Agreement,  to the  extent  that the  Estate of Scoop on the
Effective  Date has  insufficient  funds  available  to pay in full the  allowed
amount  of all  Eligible  Claims  (the  amount  of such  insufficiency  shall be
referred  to as the  "Shortfall  Amount"),  InfiniCom  and Scoop shall cause the
Escrow Holder to pay to the Disbursing  Agent from the Shortfall  Deposit in the
Escrow Account on the Closing Date for  distribution  to the holders of Eligible
Claims in  accordance  with the Plan an  amount  (collectively,  the  "Shortfall
Payment")  equal to (x) the  lesser of the  Shortfall  Amount  or the  Shortfall
Principal Deposit (such lesser amount,  the "Shortfall  Principal  Amount") plus
(y) simple  interest on the  Shortfall  Principal  Amount at the rate of 10% per
annum (based on a year of 365 days and actual days  elapsed)  from and including
April 1, 1999 to but  excluding  the  earlier of August 31,  1999 or the date on
which the Plan is confirmed.  The  Shortfall  Deposit is  non-refundable  to the
extent necessary to pay the Shortfall Payment,  and the only grounds under which
InfiniCom  shall be entitled to obtain a refund of the Shortfall  Deposit are if
this  Agreement  is  terminated  under  Section  5.1(a),  (b) or (d);  provided,
however, that InfiniCom shall be entitled to the refund of any Shortfall Deposit
remaining  in the  Escrow  Account  after the  Shortfall  Payment is made to the
Disbursing Agent (such remaining amount, the "Shortfall Excess").  The Shortfall
Excess,  if any,  may be repaid to InfiniCom in  increments,  or as a whole,  as
distributions are made to holders of Eligible Claims;  provided,  however,  that
the full amount of any Shortfall  Excess shall have been paid to InfiniCom on or
before the earlier of (A) the date  numerically  corresponding  to the Effective
Date in the  twelfth  month after the  Effective  Date or (B) the  business  day
immediately  following  the first date on which all  Eligible  Claims shall have
been paid.  The Shortfall  Deposit shall be subject to the  jurisdiction  of the
Bankruptcy  Court,  and in the event that any dispute  should arise among Scoop,
InfiniCom  and  the  Creditors'  Committee  regarding  the  disposition  of  the
Shortfall  Deposit,  the  Bankruptcy  Court  will  determine  the merits of such
dispute.

     3.2 Transfer and Payment.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this  Agreement,  on the Closing  Date,  (i) Scoop shall  assign,  transfer  and
deliver  to  InfiniCom  the  certificates   representing  the  Acquired  Shares,
registered in the name of InfiniCom  and/or its nominees,  (ii) InfiniCom  shall
assign,  transfer and deliver to Scoop the certificate  representing the 24STORE
Stock,  together  with a stock  power  in blank  executed  by  InfiniCom,  (iii)
InfiniCom and Scoop shall  instruct the Escrow  Holder to pay to the  Disbursing
Agent the Shortfall  Payment in accordance  with Section 3.1 and (iv)  InfiniCom
and Scoop shall  instruct the Escrow  Holder to pay to InfiniCom  the  Shortfall
Excess, if any, in accordance with Section 3.1 (collectively, the "Closing").

     3.3 Closing.  The Closing  shall take place at 10:00 A.M. at the offices of
White & Case LLP at 633 West Fifth Street,  Suite 1900, Los Angeles,  California
on the  later of (a) the  Effective  Date or (b) the  first  date on  which  the
conditions  precedent set forth in Section 4 shall have been satisfied or waived

breached  any  of  its  representations,  warranties,  covenants  or  agreements
contained  herein;  (c) in whole and not in part by Scoop by  written  notice to
InfiniCom,  if (i) the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 hereof shall not have
been complied with or performed on or prior to September 30, 1999 (or such later

Scoop shall not have  materially  breached any of its  covenants  or  agreements
contained herein,  (ii) InfiniCom fails to make any payment of Transaction Costs
within  fifteen  (15) days  after  notice in writing is given by Scoop that such
payment has not been made when due and payable or (iii)  InfiniCom  fails to pay
the Shortfall  Payment in accordance  with this  Agreement  within  fifteen days
after  notice in writing is given by Scoop that such  payment  has not been made

hereunder and (b) any knowing misrepresentation made by such Party of any matter
set forth herein.

                SECTION 6. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS; COVENANTS

InfiniCom  contained in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 are made only as of (a) the date of
this   Agreement  and  (b)  the  Closing  Date.   Except  with  respect  to  the
representations  and warranties made in Section 2.1(a), the  representations and
warranties  contained  in Section 2.1 and 2.2 shall  expire for all  purposes at
11:59 P.M.,  California  Time,  on the Closing  Date.  The  representations  and
warranties  made in Section  2.1(a)  shall  survive the  Closing  Date but shall
expire for all purposes at 11:59 P.M.,  California Time, on the date numerically
corresponding to the Closing Date in the  twenty-fourth  month after the Closing
Date.

     6.2 Bankruptcy Proceedings. Scoop shall:

          (a) use commercially  reasonable efforts to obtain confirmation of the
     Plan by the Bankruptcy Court as soon as reasonably possible; and

          (b) not take any action in connection  with the Bankruptcy  Proceeding
     or otherwise that would knowingly  restrict or prohibit  Scoop's ability to
     consummate,   pursuant  to  the  Plan,  the   Transaction   and  the  other
     transactions  contemplated  by this  Agreement  or that would  otherwise be
     inconsistent with the spirit or intent of this Agreement.

     6.3 Further  Assurances.  Until the Closing Date or earlier  termination of
this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.1:

          (a)  Securities  Act  Compliance.  Scoop  shall  continue  to make all
     filings  required to be made by a reporting  company  under the  Securities
     Exchange  Act of 1934,  as  amended;  provided,  however,  that Scoop shall
     continue  its  practice of filing  current  reports on Form 8-K  containing
     Scoop's monthly  operating  reports filed with the Bankruptcy Court in lieu
     of filing Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K;

          (b) Claims.  Scoop shall  promptly  inform  InfiniCom  of all material
     claims,  other than those claims listed on the  Bankruptcy  Court's  claims
     register  as  of  the  date  of  this  Agreement,   made  by  creditors  or
     shareholders  of Scoop  which may be subject to  objection  by Scoop or the
     Creditors' Committee;

          (c) Access. Scoop will afford InfiniCom full and free access to Scoop,
     its  personnel,  properties,  contracts,  books and records,  and all other
     documents and data; and

          (d) Exclusive  Dealing.  Until any  termination  of this  Agreement in
     accordance  with  the  terms  hereof,  Scoop  (i)  will  not,  directly  or
     indirectly,  through any  representative or otherwise,  solicit offers from
     any other person relating to the acquisition of Scoop, its stock, assets or
     business,  in whole or in part,  whether  directly or  indirectly,  through
     purchase, merger, consolidation,  reverse acquisition or otherwise and (ii)
     will promptly notify  InfiniCom  regarding any contact between Scoop or its
     representatives  and any other person  regarding any such offer or proposal
     or any related inquiry.

     6.4 InfiniCom's Covenants Regarding Bankruptcy Proceedings. InfiniCom shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate fully and completely with Scoop
and  Scoop's  counsel in Scoop's  efforts  to obtain  confirmation  of the Plan,
including  by  providing  to Scoop  financial  and other  information  regarding
InfiniCom  and the  Company  reasonably  requested  by Scoop for the  purpose of
Scoop's  preparation of the Plan and the disclosure  statement  accompanying the
Plan.  Without  limiting the  generality of the  foregoing,  InfiniCom  shall be
solely  responsible  for  drafting  all  provisions  of the Plan and  disclosure
statement  relating to securities  and corporate  issues in connection  with the
implementation of the Transaction.

     6.5 "Scoop, Inc." Name. InfiniCom expressly agrees that this Agreement does
not affect the rights of the Estate of Scoop in the name "Scoop,  Inc." and that
the Estate of Scoop shall  retain the name  "Scoop,  Inc.",  and any  derivative
thereof,  and all goodwill,  trademarks and general intangibles  associated with
the name "Scoop,  Inc." and Scoop's  business  operations prior to the Effective
Date.  InfiniCom  acknowledges  and agrees that Scoop may sell the name  "Scoop,
Inc." on or before the Effective Date and that, on and after the Effective Date,
the name "Scoop, Inc." shall no longer be the name of Scoop.

                            SECTION 7. MISCELLANEOUS

     7.1 Expenses.

     (a) Each of the Parties shall bear its own expenses in connection  with the
transactions  contemplated  by this  Agreement,  except that InfiniCom shall pay
Scoop  for  reasonable  and  documented  costs  and  expenses  incurred  by  the
bankruptcy estate of Scoop, including,  without limitation,  (i) attorneys' fees
and costs  (including the Bankruptcy  Costs and the Committee's fees and costs),
(ii) accountants' fees and costs, and (iii) consulting fees and costs charged by
Rand  Bleimeister  and Kristy Allan in connection  with the  negotiation  of the
terms of this  Agreement  and the pursuit,  approval,  and  consummation  of the
transactions contemplated hereby ("Transaction Costs").

     (b) The total amount of  InfiniCom's  liability for payment of  Transaction
Costs  pursuant  to  Section  7(a)  shall not  exceed  $125,000.  InfiniCom  has
previously  paid to Scoop $50,000 in respect of Transaction  Costs and InfiniCom
shall pay an  additional  $75,000 in respect  of  Transaction  Costs to Scoop as
follows: (i) $35,000 within five (5) business days following (A) approval by the
Creditors' Committee of the Transaction, (B) approval by the Bankruptcy Court of
the  Disclosure  Statement  and (C)  presentation  by Scoop to  InfiniCom  of an
accounting of Transaction  Costs incurred to such date and written  estimates of
further  Transaction Costs required to obtain  confirmation of the Plan and (ii)
$40,000 five (5) business days prior to the hearing on the  confirmation  of the
Plan. The Transaction Costs paid to Scoop in accordance  herewith shall be fully
non-refundable  upon  payment,  except as provided in clause (c) of this Section
7.1.  If  InfiniCom  does not  timely  make  the  last  payment  in  respect  of
Transaction  Costs,  Scoop  shall have the right to  continue  the  confirmation
hearing  on the Plan  (even  beyond  September  30,  1999)  and shall be able to
withdraw $40,000 from the $225,000 payment referenced in Section 3.1.

     (c) The  Transaction  Costs shall be deemed  reasonable by InfiniCom if the
Bankruptcy  Court  determines,  after  hearing,  that  such  fees and  costs are
reasonable in accordance with the provisions of Sections 330 or 331 of the Code.
With  respect  to fees and  costs  incurred  by  Scoop's  insiders  (i.e.,  Rand
Bleimeister and Kristy Allan), such fees and costs shall be deemed reasonable if
the Creditors'  Committee and InfiniCom jointly deem such fees to be reasonable.
InfiniCom  hereby  waives  its  rights  to  contest  the  reasonableness  of the
Transaction Costs or to file objections,  responses, comments,  declarations, or
other documents in opposition to any fee application  filed by any  professional
employed in Scoop's case or in conflict with the fees and costs requested in the
fee  application,  except as provided in the preceding  sentence with respect to
the fees and costs of Scoop's  insiders.  Within thirty (30) days of the earlier
of the Closing Date or termination of this Agreement in accordance  with Section
5.1,  Scoop shall repay to InfiniCom any amounts paid to Scoop  pursuant to this
Section  7.1 in excess of  Transaction  Costs  incurred  to such  earlier  date;
provided that Scoop shall be entitled to retain funds sufficient to pay all fees
and costs of  professionals  employed in the Bankruptcy  Proceeding  pending the
entry of Bankruptcy Court orders relative to final fee applications filed in the
Bankruptcy Proceeding by such professionals.

     7.2 Governing Law. THE  INTERPRETATION  AND CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT,
AND ALL MATTERS RELATING  HERETO,  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA  APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS  EXECUTED AND TO BE PERFORMED SOLELY WITHIN
SUCH STATE.

     7.3 Disclosure. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not make any public
comments,  statements, or communications with respect to, or otherwise disclose,
the  execution of this letter or the terms and  conditions  of the  transactions
contemplated  by this Agreement  without the prior written  consent of the other
party,  which  consent  shall  not be  unreasonably  withheld,  unless  (i) such
disclosure  is  expressly  contemplated  by the  terms of this  Agreement  or is
necessary  to obtain  Bankruptcy  Court  approval  of the  disclosure  statement
accompanying  the Plan or  confirmation  of the  Plan or (ii) in the good  faith
opinion of counsel,  such disclosure is required by law and time does not permit
the obtaining of such consent.
