growth, profitability and other similar financial or market data
are forward-looking statements; such statements are subject to

corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its

Subsidiaries, except for those listed on Schedule 4.5 attached
to this Agreement (the "Subsidiaries").  The Subsidiaries are
duly incorporated and existing in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdictions of their incorporation.  The Company and
each of the Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation to do business and is in good standing in every
jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or
property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, other
than those in which the failure to qualify would not have a
Material Adverse Effect.  "Material Adverse Effect"  means any
effect on the business, operations, properties or financial
condition of the entity or entities with respect to which such
term is used and which is material and adverse to such entity or
to other entities controlling or controlled by such entity,
and/or any condition or situation which would prohibit or
otherwise interfere with the ability of the entity or entities
with respect to which said term is used to enter into and
perform its or their obligations under the Transaction

by it of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action, and no further consent or authorization of the Company
or its board of directors or stockholders is required, (iii) the
Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by
the Company, and (iv) the Transaction Documents (assuming due
authorization and valid and legal execution by Purchaser)
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights and
remedies or by other equitable principles of general
application.

4.7  Corporate Documents.  The Company has furnished or made
available to Purchaser  true and correct copies of the
Certificate and the Bylaws.

4.8  No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of
the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by
the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby, including
without limitation the issuance of the Securities, do not and
will not (i) result in a violation of the Company's Certificate
or Bylaws, or (ii) conflict with, or result in a breach of or
forfeiture of any rights (or result in an event which with
notice or lapse of time or both would become a breach of or
forfeiture of any rights) under, or give to others any rights of
termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any
material agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company
or any of the Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a
violation of any federal or state law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws
and regulations) applicable to the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or
any of the Subsidiaries is bound or affected (except for such
conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations,
cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect).  The business of
the Company is not being conducted in violation of any law,
ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, except for
possible violations which either singly or in the aggregate do
not and will not have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Company is
not required under federal, state or local law, rule or
regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or
make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental
agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its
obligations under this Agreement or issue and sell the
Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (other
than any SEC, NASD or state securities filings which may be
required to be made by the Company subsequent to any Closing
hereunder, and any Registration Statement which may be filed in
furtherance of this Agreement); provided that, for purposes of
the representation made in this sentence, the Company is
assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant
representations and agreements of Purchaser herein.  Neither the
Company nor any of the Subsidiaries is in violation of any
material term of or in material default under its Certificate or
By-laws or their organizational charter or by-laws,
respectively, or any material contract, agreement, mortgage,
indebtedness, indenture, instrument, judgment, decree of order
or any statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or
the Subsidiaries, which has not been duly waived as of the date
of this Agreement.

4.9  SEC Documents.  As of their respective dates, the SEC
Documents complied, and all similar documents filed with the SEC
prior to each Closing Date will comply, in all material respects
with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act,
as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC
promulgated thereunder and other federal, state and local laws,
rules and regulations applicable to such SEC Documents, and none
of the SEC Documents contained, nor will any similar document
filed with the SEC prior to each Closing Date contain, any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omit to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The
financial statements of the Company included in the SEC
Documents, as of the dates thereof,  complied, and all similar
documents filed with the SEC prior to each Closing Date will
comply, as to form in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations
of the SEC and other applicable rules and regulations with
respect thereto.  Such financial statements were prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied
on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as
may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the
notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim
statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may
be condensed or summary statements as permitted by Form 10-QSB
of the SEC) and fairly present in all material respects the
financial position of the Company and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated
results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended
(subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal
year-end audit adjustments).

4.10  No Undisclosed Liabilities.  Except to the extent described
in Schedule 4.10, the Company and the Subsidiaries have no
liabilities or obligations of a financial nature (whether
accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise), which are material,
individually or in the aggregate, and are not disclosed in the
SEC Documents, other than those incurred in the ordinary course
of the Company's or the Subsidiaries' respective businesses
consistent with past practice since September 30, 2000, and
which, individually or in the aggregate, do not or would not
have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

4.11  Litigation and Other Proceedings.  Except as may be set
forth in the SEC Documents or otherwise disclosed in writing to
Purchaser, there are no lawsuits or proceedings pending or to
the best knowledge of the Company threatened, against the
Company, nor has the Company received any written or oral notice
of any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, which
might have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or which
might materially adversely affect the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.  Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, no
judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or award has been
issued by or, to the best knowledge of the Company, requested of
any court, arbitrator or governmental agency which might result
in a Material Adverse Effect or which might materially adversely
affect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.12  Other Documents or Materials.  With respect to any document
or other materials received by Purchaser from the Company or its
representatives other than the Transaction Documents and the SEC
Documents, (i) the Company has no reason to believe any of such
documents and materials or any projections contained therein, as
of the date of such other documents or materials, contained
material errors or misstatements or did not adequately describe
the status of the development of the Company's technologies or
its business as of such date, and (ii) such documents, materials
and projections were prepared by the Company and its management
in good faith.

4.13  Nature of Company.  The Company is not an open ended
investment company or a unit investment trust, registered or
required to be registered, or a closed end investment company
required to be registered, but not registered, under the
Investment Company Act of 1940.

4.14  Brokers, Finders.  Except for payment of commitment fees to
Purchaser equal to eight percent (8%) of the amount specified in
each Put Notice, payment of which is the sole responsibility of
the Company, the Company has taken no action which would give
rise to any claim by any Person for brokerage commission,
finder's fees or similar payments by Purchaser relating to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Purchaser
shall have no obligation with respect to such fees or with
respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for
fees of a type contemplated in this Section 4.14 that may be due
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.15  Absence of Certain Changes.  Since September 30, 2000,
no Material Adverse Effect has been suffered by, and no material
adverse development has occurred in the business, properties,
operations, financial condition or results of operations of the
Company or the Subsidiaries.  The Company has not taken any
steps, and does not currently expect to take any steps, to seek
protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does the Company
or any of the Subsidiaries have any knowledge or reason to
believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary
bankruptcy proceedings.

4.16  Intellectual Property Rights.  The Company and the
Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use
all trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark
registrations, service names, patents, patent rights,
copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental
authorizations, trade secrets and rights necessary to conduct
their respective businesses as now conducted.  None of the
Company's trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark
registrations, service names, patents, patent rights,
copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, government
authorizations, trade secrets or other intellectual property
rights have expired or terminated, or are expected to expire or
terminate in the near future.   The Company and the Subsidiaries
do not have any knowledge of any infringement by the Company or
the Subsidiaries of trademarks, trade name rights, patents,
patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, service names,
service marks, service mark registrations, trade secrets or
other similar rights of others, or of any such development of
similar or identical trade secrets or technical information by
others and, there is no claim, action or proceeding being made
or brought against, or to the best knowledge of the Company,
being threatened against, the Company or the Subsidiaries
regarding trademark, trade name, patent, patent rights,
invention, copyright, license, service name, service mark,
service mark registration, trade secret or other infringement;
and the Company and the Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or
circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.
The Company and the Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security
measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of
all of their intellectual properties.

4.17  Internal Accounting Controls.  The Company is not aware in
any respect in which its system of internal accounting controls
is not sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i)
transactions are executed in accordance with management's
general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to
assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general
or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability
for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any
differences.

4.18  Tax Status.  The Company and the Subsidiaries have made or
filed all federal and state income and all other tax returns,
reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which
any of them is subject and have paid all taxes and other
governmental assessments and charges that are material in
amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports,
declarations, except those being contested in good faith and
have set aside on their books provisions reasonably adequate for
the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods
to which such returns, reports, or declarations apply.  There
are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by
the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of
the Company know of no basis for any such claim.

4.19  Certain Transactions.  Except as set forth in Schedule 4.19
or in the SEC Documents and  except for arm's length
transactions pursuant to which the Company makes payments in the
ordinary course of business upon terms no less favorable than
the Company could obtain from third parties and other than the
grant of stock options, none of the officers, directors, or
employees of the Company (or any spouse or relative of any such
person) is presently a party to any transaction with the Company
(other than for services as employees, officers, consultants and
directors), including any contract, agreement or other
arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by,
providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or
otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or
such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any
corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any
officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial
interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

4.20  Dilution.  The Company's executive officers and directors
have studied and fully understand the nature of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and recognize that such
transactions have a potential dilutive effect.  The board of
directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith
business judgment, that such issuance is in the best interests
of the Company.

4.21  OTC BB Listing.  The Company's Common Stock is presently
quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol
"ECNC."  The Company is not in receipt of any written notice
from any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
Common Stock is or has been listed (or on which it is or has
been quoted) to the effect that the Company is not in compliance
with the listing or maintenance requirements of such stock
exchange, market or trading facility or that the Common Stock
will be delisted from such stock exchange, market or trading
facility.

4.22  No Integrated Offering.  Neither the Company nor any
of its affiliates nor any Person acting on its or their behalf
has, directly or indirectly, at any time since December 31,
1999, made any offer or sales of any security or solicited any
offers to buy any security under circumstances that would
eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration
under Regulation D in connection with the offer and sale of the
Securities as contemplated hereby.

5.  Use and Disposition of Proceeds.  The Company will use the
proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock (excluding amounts
paid by the Company for legal fees and finder's fees in
connection with the sale to Purchaser) for general corporate
purposes, but shall not, directly or indirectly, use such
proceeds for investment in any other Affiliate or to repay debt
to Affiliates.

6.  Company Reliance on Purchaser's Representations.  Purchaser
understands that the Company is relying on the truth and
accuracy of the representations and warranties made herein by
Purchaser in offering the Securities for sale and in relying
upon applicable exemptions available under the Securities Act
and applicable state securities laws.

7.  Restricted Shares.  Purchaser understands and acknowledges
that if the Securities have not been, and will not as of the
time issued be, registered under the Securities Act, they will
be issued in reliance upon exemptions from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, and thus cannot be resold
unless they are included in an effective Registration Statement
filed under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from
registration is available for such resale.  With regard to the
restrictions on resales of the Securities, Purchaser is aware
(a) that the Company will issue stop transfer orders to its
stock transfer agent in the event of attempts to improperly
transfer any Securities; and (b) that a restrictive legend will
be placed on certificates representing the Securities, which
legend will read substantially as follows:

THESE SECURITIES ARE NOT REGISTERED WITH THE UNITED STATES
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED UNDER THE
ACT, INCLUDING EXEMPTIONS UNDER SECTIONS 3(b) AND 4(2) OF THE
ACT AND THE PROVISIONS OF REGULATION D UNDER SUCH ACT, AND
SIMILAR EXEMPTIONS UNDER STATE LAW.  ACCORDINGLY, THESE
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE RESOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR
HYPOTHECATED UNLESS SUCH SECURITIES ARE COVERED BY AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED UNDER THE ACT OR AN  EXEMPTION FROM
SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT IS AVAILABLE AND THE COMPANY HAS
RECEIVED AN OPINION OF SECURITIES COUNSEL REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH EXEMPTION IS AVAILABLE.

The legend set forth above shall be promptly removed without
additional cost or delay, and the Company shall issue a
certificate without such legend to the holder of any of the
Securities upon which such legend is stamped (or to the holder's
assignee), if, unless otherwise required by state securities
laws, (i) such securities are registered for resale, or have
been sold, under an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, (ii) in connection with a sale transaction, such
holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a
generally acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale,
assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without
registration under the Securities Act, or (iii) such holder
provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the
Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of
securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be
immediately sold.  Notwithstanding the removal of the legend set
forth above, in the event the Securities are registered for
resale on an effective registration statement, the Company
reserves the right to affix a legend on certificates
representing the Securities that any selling shareholder named
in the registration statement must comply with the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with
any resale.  The Company shall bear the cost of the removal of
any legend as anticipated by this Section 7.

8.  Other Covenants of the Company.

8.1  Furnishing of Information.  As long as Purchaser owns
Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain
extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable
grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company
after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act.  If at any time prior to the date on which
Purchaser may resell all of the Securities without volume
restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the
Securities Act (as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant
to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and
acceptable to the Company's transfer agent for the benefit of
and enforceable by Purchaser) the Company is not required to
file reports pursuant to such sections, it will prepare and
furnish to Purchaser and make publicly available in accordance
with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act annual and
quarterly financial statements, together with a discussion and
analysis of such financial statements in form and substance
substantially similar to those that would otherwise be required
to be included in reports required by Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act in the time period that such filings would have
been required to have been made under the Exchange Act.  The
Company further covenants that it will take such further action
as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell
Securities without registration under the Securities Act within
the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act.

8.2  Certain Agreements.   The Company covenants and agrees that
it will not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser,
enter into any subsequent or further offer or sale of Common
Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock with any third
party or issue any shares of Common Stock to any consultant or
other third party utilizing a registration statement on Form S-8
until the  later of December 4, 2001 or upon the total Put
Amounts reaching fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000), other
than as agreed to in writing by the parties.  The provisions of
this Section 8.2 will not apply to (a) the issuance of
securities (other than for cash) in connection with a merger,
consolidation, sale of assets, disposition or the exchange of
the capital stock for assets, stock or other joint venture
interests, or (b) upon conversion or exercise of any convertible
or derivative securities outstanding on the date hereof, as set
forth on Schedule 8.2.

8.3  Warrants.  The Company agrees to issue to Purchaser
transferable divisible warrants (i) upon execution hereof, to
purchase two million (2,000,000) shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price equal to the lesser of (a) forty percent (40%) of
the Market Price of the Common Stock as of the date hereof (the
"Initial Warrant"), or (b) forty percent (40%) of the average
five (5) day Market Price as of the Effective Date of the
Registration Statement; and (ii) to purchase a maximum of one
million (1,000,000) shares of Common Stock ("Additional
Warrants") on a pro rata basis in conjunction with each
Additional Closing, exercisable at forty percent (40%) of the
Market Price, at the date of each Additional Closing.

8.4  Liquidated Damages.  If on any Closing Date or
any Delivery Date, the Company fails to deliver the Shares to be
purchased by Purchaser, and such failure continues for three (3)
Business Days, the Company shall pay to Purchaser, in cash, as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to $500
per each $100,000 funded for each day that the Shares purchased
by Purchaser are not delivered up to ten (10) days, and $1,000
per each $1,000,000 funded for each day that the Shares
purchased by Purchaser are not delivered in excess of ten (10)
days until such failure has been cured.  Cash payments to be
made pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be due and payable
immediately upon demand in immediately available cash funds.

8.5  Available Shares.  The Company shall have at all
times authorized and reserved for issuance, free from preemptive
rights, a sufficient number of shares under the terms of this
Agreement and Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the exercise
of the Warrants.

8.6  Reimbursement.  If (i) Purchaser, other than by reason of
its gross negligence or willful misconduct, becomes involved in
any capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation brought
by any stockholder of the Company, in connection with or as a
result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
the Transaction Documents, or if Purchaser is impleaded in any
such action, proceeding or investigation by any Person, or (ii)
Purchaser, other than by reason of its gross negligence or
willful misconduct or by reason of its trading of the Common
Stock in a manner that is illegal under applicable securities
laws, becomes involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding
or investigation brought by the SEC against or involving the
Company or in connection with or as a result of the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
or if Purchaser is impleaded in any such action, proceeding or
investigation by any Person, then in any such case, the Company
will reimburse Purchaser for its reasonable legal and other
expenses (including the cost of any investigation and
preparation) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses
are incurred.  In addition, other than with respect to any
matter in which Purchaser is a named party, the Company will pay
Purchaser the charges, as reasonably determined by Purchaser,
for the time of any officers or employees of Purchaser devoted
to appearing and preparing to appear as witnesses, assisting in
preparation for hearings, trials or pretrial matters, or
otherwise with respect to inquiries, hearing, trials, and other
proceedings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
The reimbursement obligations of the Company under this
paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which the
Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and
conditions to any Affiliates of Purchaser who are actually named
in such action, proceeding or investigation, and partners,
directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any),
as the case may be, of Purchaser and any such Affiliates, and
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any
successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the
Company, Purchaser and any such Affiliates and any such Person.
The Company also agrees that neither any Purchaser nor any such
Affiliates, partners, directors, agents, employees or
controlling persons shall have any liability to the Company or
any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the
Company in connection with or as a result of the consummation of
the Transaction Documents except to the extent that any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Company
result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Purchaser or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of
Purchaser contained in herein or any breach by Purchaser of any
of the provisions hereof.

9.  Transfer Agent Instructions.

9.1  Irrevocable Instructions.  Subject to the provisions of
Section 2.5, the Company will irrevocably instruct the Transfer
Agent to issue securities from time to time in such amounts as
shall be required hereunder and as specified from time to time
by the Company to the Transfer Agent, bearing the restrictive
legend specified in Section 7 of this Agreement prior to
registration of the Securities under the Securities Act,
registered in the name of Purchaser and in such denominations to
be specified by Purchaser in connection with each Closing
hereunder.  The Company warrants that no instruction other than
such instructions referred to in this Section 9 and stop
transfer instructions to give effect to Section 7 hereof prior
to registration and sale of the Securities under the Securities
Act will be given by the Company to the Transfer Agent and that
the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the
books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided
in this Agreement and applicable law.  Nothing in this Section 9
shall affect in any way Purchaser's obligations and agreement to
comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of the
Securities.

9.2  Transmission of Certificates.  Subject to Section 7, the
Company will transmit the certificates representing any
unlegended securities to be issued to Purchaser via express
courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise, within three (3)
Business Days after receipt by the Transfer Agent of the
certificate representing the legended Common Stock or the date
unlegended Common Stock is required to be issued pursuant to
Section 7, as applicable (the "Delivery Date").

9.3  Electronic Transfer.  In lieu of delivering physical
certificates representing the unlegended securities issuable
after the Effective Date as provided in Section 7, provided the
Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company
("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request
of Purchaser and its compliance with the provisions contained in
this paragraph, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear
a legend and Purchaser thereof is not obligated to return such
certificates for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Transfer
Agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable on
the Closing Date or upon exercise of the Warrants by crediting
the account of Purchaser's prime broker with DTC through its
Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system.

9.4  Bankruptcy.  Purchaser shall be entitled to exercise its
right under Section 2.3 notwithstanding the commencement of any
case under 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq. (the "Bankruptcy
Code").  The Company agrees, without cost or expense to the
holder, to take or consent to any and all action necessary to
effectuate relief under 11 U.S.C. Section 362.

10.  Closing Conditions

10.1  Conditions to the Company's Obligation to Sell. The
Purchaser understands that the Company's obligation to sell the
Initial Shares and the Additional Shares on the Initial Closing
Date and each Additional Closing Date, respectively, pursuant to
this Agreement is conditioned upon:

thereon, and the performance by Purchaser on or before such date
of all covenants and agreements of Purchaser required to be
performed on or before such date;

the representations and warranties of the Company contained in
this Agreement as if made on such date and the performance by

agreements of the Company required to be performed on or before
such date;

(b)  on or before each such date, Purchaser having received an
opinion of counsel for the Company, dated on each such date, in

New York sitting in the City of New York in connection with any

by any warranties, representations or covenants except as
specifically set forth in this Agreement or therein.  Except as
expressly provided in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor
any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated

Dear Mr. Dabbs:

As escrow agent for both eConnect, Inc., a Nevada corporation

corporation (the "Purchaser") of Securities of the Company, who
is named in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the
"Agreement") between the Company and the Purchaser to which a

pursuant to the terms of the Agreement in accordance with the

provided in the Agreement.

1.  Upon its acceptance of the Agreement, the Company shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent, common
stock share certificates ("Share Certificates") of thirty
million (30,000,000) unlegended shares in ten (10) certificates
of three million (3,000,000) each.

2.  The Share Certificates delivered to the Escrow Agent
pursuant hereto shall be deposited for safekeeping with the
Escrow Agent (the "Escrow Account").  During the Escrow Period
(hereinafter defined), none of the Share Certificates deposited
in the Escrow Account shall become the property of Purchaser or
any other entity or be subject to the debts of Purchaser or any
other entity except as expressly provided herein, and the Escrow
Agent shall neither make nor permit any disbursements or
deliveries from the Escrow Account except as expressly provided
herein.

3.  The Escrow Period shall begin on the effective date of the
Agreement and, except as provided in Section 4 below, shall
continue until terminated under Section 2.4(c) of the Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there remain Share
Certificates in the Escrow Account, all such Share Certificates
then remaining in the Escrow Account shall forthwith be
forwarded to Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., the transfer agent
for the Company (the "Transfer Agent"), within five (5) business
days thereafter upon written request given to Escrow Agent by
the Company.

4.  Not later than two (2) business days after the Share
Valuation Date, the Purchaser shall deliver a letter to the
Escrow Agent advising the Escrow Agent of the maximum number of
shares that may be sold by the Purchaser free of restrictive
legend pursuant to a Put Notice.  Purchaser shall make payment
of the Put Amount (less any applicable legal or other fees)
within three (3) business days after delivery of such share
letter to the Escrow Agent ("Share Payment Date").

5.  The Escrow Agent shall promptly, upon receipt of such
notice, deliver one or more Share Certificates to the Transfer
Agent for removal of legend pursuant to the Irrevocable
Instructions annexed hereto, and upon receipt of such Share
Certificates, shall cause same to be delivered to or for the
benefit of the Purchaser pursuant to written instructions of the
Purchaser.

6.  The Company shall deliver to the Escrow Agent appropriate
written notice of any extension or amendment to the Agreement.

7.  The Escrow Agent's duties hereunder may be altered,
amended, modified or revoked only by a writing signed by the
Company, the Purchaser and the Escrow Agent.

8.  The Escrow Agent shall be obligated only for the
performance of such duties as are specifically set forth herein
and may rely and shall be protected in relying or refraining
from acting on any instrument reasonably believed by the Escrow
Agent to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties.  The Escrow Agent shall not be
personally liable for any act the Escrow Agent may do or omit to
do hereunder as Escrow Agent while acting in good faith, and any
act done or omitted by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the advice
of the Escrow Agent's attorneys-at-law shall be conclusive
evidence of such good faith.

9.  The Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to
disregard any and all warnings given by any of the parties
hereto or by any other person or corporation, excepting only
orders or process of courts of law and is hereby expressly
authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees
of any court.  In case the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with
any such order, judgment or decree, the Escrow Agent shall not
be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person,
firm or corporation by reason of such decree being subsequently
reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to
have been entered without jurisdiction.

10.  The Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any respect on
account of the identity, authorities or rights of the parties
executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver the
Agreement or any documents or papers deposited or called for
hereunder.

11.  The Escrow Agent shall be entitled, at its own expense, to
employ such legal counsel and other experts as the Escrow Agent
may deem necessary properly to advise the Escrow Agent in
connection with the Escrow Agent's duties hereunder, may rely
upon the advice of such counsel, and may pay such counsel
reasonable compensation therefor.

12.  The Escrow Agent's responsibilities as Escrow Agent
hereunder shall terminate if the Escrow Agent shall resign by
written notice to the Company and the Purchaser.  In the event
of any such resignation, the Purchaser and the Company shall
appoint a successor Escrow Agent.

13.  If the Escrow Agent reasonably requires other or further
instruments in connection with these Joint Escrow Instructions
or obligations in respect hereto, the necessary parties hereto
shall join in furnishing such instruments.

14.  It is understood and agreed that should any dispute arise
with respect to the delivery and/or ownership or right of
possession of the documents held by the Escrow Agent hereunder,
the Escrow Agent is authorized and directed in the Escrow
Agent's sole discretion (a) to retain in the Escrow Agent's
possession without liability to anyone all or any part of said
documents or Escrow Funds until such disputes shall have been
settled either by mutual written agreement of the parties
concerned or by a final order, decree or judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction after the time for appeal has expired and
no appeal has been perfected, but the Escrow Agent shall be
under no duty whatsoever to institute or defend any such
proceedings,  or (b) to deliver the Escrow Funds and any other
property and documents held by the Escrow Agent hereunder to a
state or federal court having competent subject matter
jurisdiction and located in the State and City of New York in
accordance with the applicable procedure therefor.

15.  The Company and the Purchaser agree jointly and severally
to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent from any and all
claims, liabilities, costs or expenses in any way arising from
or relating to the duties or performance of the Escrow Agent
hereunder other than any such claim, liability, cost or expense
to the extent the same shall have been determined by final,
unappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to
have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Escrow Agent.

16.  Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given
in writing (unless otherwise specified herein) and shall be
deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or three
business days after deposit in the United States Postal Service,
by registered or certified mail with postage and fees prepaid,
addressed to each of the other parties thereunto entitled at the
following addresses, or at such other addresses as a party may
designate by ten days advance written notice to each of the
