manufacturing cost increases or decreases, if any, in producing Rollers and the
corresponding per unit sales price increase or decrease, if any, for each

intellectual property (including, without limitation, all trade names,
trademarks, patents, know-how, and other forms of intellectual property), and
all other items related to the design and manufacture of Rollers (collectively,
the "Assets") for a cash purchase price equal to the greater of (a) $5,000 or
(b) the actual cost of such Assets minus $25,000.  The Option shall commence on

       Section 5.2   Exercise of Option; Closing.  Distributor may exercise
this Option at any time during the term of this Agreement by delivering to
Seller a written notice (the "Exercise Notice") of Distributor's intent to

                                   ARTICLE VI
                        PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE SHARES

       Section 6.1   Restrictions on Transfer.  The Shares issued pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement will be subject to the following restrictions on
transfer:  (i) Seller will not sell or offer to sell any of the Shares in the
absence of an effective registration statement for such Shares under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or an opinion of
counsel reasonably acceptable to CPI to the effect that such registration is
not required; and (ii) CPI will not be obligated to recognize any purported
transfer in violation of this Section 6.1(i), and, unless it elects to do
otherwise, CPI may treat any such purported transfer as null, void, and of no
effect.

       Section 6.2   Legend on Stock.  Each certificate representing the Shares
to be issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will bear substantially
the following legend:

              THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
              REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER
              THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
              ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN
              COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH LAWS.

       Section 6.3   Piggyback Registration Rights in Underwritten Offerings.

              (a)    In the case of an underwritten offering by CPI of
       securities, CPI shall, with respect to the number of Shares that Seller
       then desires to sell, enter into an underwriting agreement with the same
       underwriters engaged by CPI with respect to securities being offered by
       CPI and cause such underwriters to include in any such underwriting all
       of the Shares that Seller then desires to sell; provided, however, that
       such underwriting agreement is in substantially the same form as the
       underwriting agreement that CPI enters into in connection with the
       primary offering it is making.

              (b)    If the managing underwriter with respect to an offering
       pursuant to this Section 6.3 requests that the number of Shares of
       Seller that are entitled to be registered pursuant to this Section 6.3
       be reduced because of marketing factors, then the Shares of Seller that
       Seller wishes to register pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be reduced
       by such amount as the managing underwriter may determine.

       Section 6.4   Investment Intent.  Seller hereby confirms that the Shares
issued and to be issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be
acquired for investment for his own account, not as nominee or agent, and not
with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in a manner which
would violate the registration provisions of the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities laws.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                                 MISCELLANEOUS

confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties and their
respective successors and permitted assigns.

       Section 7.2   Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement among the parties related to the subject matter hereof and supersedes
any prior understandings, agreements, or representations  by or among the
parties, written or oral, that may have related in any way to the subject
matter hereof.

       Section 7.3   Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding

<PAGE>   4
       Section 7.4   Assignment.  No party may assign or otherwise transfer any
of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, by operation of law or
otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other parties, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Any purported or attempted
assignment contrary to the terms hereof shall be null and void and of no force
or effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributor may assign this
Agreement to an Affiliate without Seller's prior written consent.

       Section 7.5   Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which
together will constitute one and the same instrument.

       Section 7.6   Notices.  All notices, demands, requests, and other

shall be (a) personally delivered with signed receipt obtained acknowledging
delivery; (b) transmitted by postage prepaid registered mail, return receipt
requested (air mail if international); (c) transmitted by telex or facsimile,
subject to confirmation of receipt by the addressee; or (d) sent by overnight
express mail, to the parties at the addresses set forth on the signature page.
Any notice, demand, request, or other communication shall be effective only if

       SECTION 7.7   GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICTS-OF-LAW RULES OR
PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER
JURISDICTION.

       Section 7.8   Amendments and Wavier.  This Agreement may be amended,
modified, superseded, or canceled and any of its terms, covenants,
representations, warranties, undertakings, or conditions may be waived only by
an instrument in writing signed by (or by some person duly authorized by) all
of the parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving
compliance.

       Section 7.9   Severability.  Any  term or provision of this Agreement
that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in
any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is
invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the
determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce
the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words
or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a
term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to
expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and
this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the
time within which the judgment may be appealed.

       SECTION 7.10  ARBITRATION.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT,
THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY CLAIMS, INCLUDING ANY STATUTORY CLAIMS, ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SUBJECT TO BINDING ARBITRATION
