         2. BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

         The Buyer understands, agrees with, and represents and warrants to the
Company with respect to its purchase hereunder, that:

         a. INVESTMENT PURPOSES; COMPLIANCE WITH 1933 ACT. The Buyer is
purchasing the Securities for its own account for investment only and not with a
view towards, or in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof,
except pursuant to sales registered under or exempt from the 1933 Act and
applicable state securities laws. The Buyer is not purchasing the Securities for
the purpose of covering short sale positions in the Common Stock established on
or prior to the Closing Date. The Buyer agrees to offer, sell or otherwise
transfer the Securities only (i) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
the Certificate of Designations and the Warrants, as applicable, and (ii)
pursuant to registration under the 1933 Act or to an exemption from registration
under the 1933 Act and any other applicable securities laws. The Buyer does not
by its representations contained in this Section 2(a) agree to hold the
Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to
dispose of the Securities at any time pursuant to a registration statement or in
accordance with an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, in all cases
in accordance with applicable state and federal securities laws. The Buyer
understands that it shall be a condition to the issuance of the Conversion
Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Dividend Shares (if any) that the Conversion


                                      -3-
<PAGE>

Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Dividend Shares (if any) be and are subject
to the representations set forth in this Section 2(a).

         b. ACCREDITED INVESTOR STATUS. The Buyer is an "accredited investor" as
that term is defined in Rule 501 (a) of Regulation D. The Buyer has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of an investment made pursuant to this
Agreement. The Buyer is aware that it may be required to bear the economic risk
of an investment made pursuant to this Agreement for an indefinite period of
time, and is able to bear such risk for an indefinite period.

         c. RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS. The Buyer understands the Securities are
being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the
registration requirements of the applicable United States federal and state
securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of,
and the Buyer's compliance with, the representations, warranties,
acknowledgments, understandings, agreements and covenants of the Buyer set forth
herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the
eligibility of the Buyer to acquire the Securities.

         d. INFORMATION. The Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished
with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the
Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities that have
been requested by the Buyer. The Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been
afforded the opportunity to ask all such questions of the Company as they have
in their discretion deemed advisable. The Buyer understands that its investment
in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. The Buyer has sought such
accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to an informed
investment decision with respect to the investment made pursuant to this
Agreement.

         e. NO GOVERNMENT REVIEW. The Buyer understands that no United States
federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has
approved or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the
fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities, nor have such
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Securities.

         f. TRANSFER OR RESALE. The Buyer understands that: (i) except as
provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Securities have not been and
are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and
may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless either (a)
subsequently registered thereunder or (b) the Buyer shall have delivered to the
Company an opinion by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, in form,
scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that
the securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or
transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, (ii) any sale of
such securities made in reliance on Rule 144 (as hereafter defined) may be made
only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not
applicable, any resale of such securities under circumstances in which the
seller (or the person though whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an
underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require


                                      -4-
<PAGE>

compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder and applicable state securities laws, and
(iii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to
register such securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to
comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder (in each case,
other than pursuant to this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement).

         g. LEGEND. The Buyer understands that the Preferred Stock, the
Warrants, and until such time as the Conversion Shares, the Warrant Shares and
the Dividend Shares (if any) (collectively, the "Registrable Securities"), have
been registered under the 1933 Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights
Agreement or otherwise may be sold by the Buyer pursuant to Rule 144 (as
amended, or any applicable rule which operates to replace said Rule) promulgated
under the 1933 Act ("Rule 144"), the stock certificates representing the
Registrable Securities will bear a restrictive legend (the "Legend") in
substantially the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS
(COLLECTIVELY, THE "LAWS"). THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND
MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF
EITHER (I) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE
LAWS, OR (II) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL PROVIDED TO THE ISSUER IN FORM, SUBSTANCE
AND SCOPE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS
NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE LAWS DUE TO AN AVAILABLE EXCEPTION TO OR EXEMPTION FROM
THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE LAWS.

         The Legend shall be removed and the Company will issue Common Stock
certificates without the Legend to the holder of the applicable Preferred Stock
or any Registrable Securities upon which the Legend is stamped, in accordance
with Section 5(b).

         h. AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEMENT. This Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement and the Escrow Agreement have been duly and validly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Buyer and are each and collectively valid and
binding agreements of the Buyer enforceable in accordance with their terms,
subject as to enforceability to general principles of equity and to bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally.

         3.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

         The Company understands, agrees with, and represents and warrants to
the Buyer that:

         a. ORGANIZATION AND QUALIFICATION. The Company is a corporation duly
incorporated and existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Texas,
except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), and has

to carry on its business as now being conducted. The Company 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 by it makes such
qualification necessary and where the failure so to qualify would have a
Material Adverse Effect. "Material Adverse Effect" means any material adverse
effect on the operations, properties or financial condition of the Company taken
as a whole. The Common Stock is eligible to trade and is listed for trading on
the OTC BULLETIN BOARD MARKET. The Company has received no notice, either
written or oral, with respect to the continued eligibility of the Common Stock
for such listing, and the Company has maintained all requirements for the
continuation of such listing, and the Company does not reasonably anticipate,
based upon conditions currently existing and reasonably forecasted that the
Common Stock will be delisted from the OTC BULLETIN BOARD MARKET for the
reasonably foreseeable future. The Company has complied with all requirements of
the National Association of Securities Dealers and the OTC BULLETIN BOARD MARKET
with respect to the issuance of the Securities.

         b. AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEMENT. (i) The Company has the requisite
corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, the
Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, to issue
and sell the Preferred Stock and the Registrable Securities in accordance with
the terms hereof, and to perform its obligations under the Certificate of
Designations in accordance with the requirements of the same, (ii) the
execution, delivery and performance of the Company's obligations under this
Agreement, the Certificate of Designations, the Warrants, the Registration
Rights Agreement and the Escrow Agreement by the Company and the consummation by
it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized
by the Company's Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization of
the Company, its Board of Directors, or its stockholders is required, (iii) this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and, on the
Closing Date, the Preferred Stock and Warrants sold at the Closing, have been
duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and (iv)
this Agreement, the Preferred Stock (when issued), the Warrants (when issued),
the Registration Rights Agreement and the Escrow Agreement constitute the valid
and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in
accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting, generally, the
enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies or by other equitable principles
of general application. The Company (and its legal counsel) has examined this
Agreement and is satisfied in its sole discretion that, assuming the accuracy of
the representations of the Buyer contained in Section 2 of this Agreement, this
Agreement and the accompanying Exhibits, Schedules and the Addenda, if any, are
in accordance with Regulation D and the 1933 Act and are effective to accomplish
the purposes set forth herein and therein.

         c. CAPITALIZATION. As of May 15, 2000, the authorized common stock of
the Company consisted of 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock of which 26,111,813

are 1,600,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock that is not convertible into
Common Stock, and 1,766,423 shares of Series D Preferred Stock convertible on a
"one for one" basis into Common Stock. All of such outstanding shares have been
validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. No shares of Common Stock
are subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights and the Company has
not attached any liens or encumbrances on any such shares. Except for the
above-referenced preferred stock and as disclosed in Schedule 3(c), as of the
effective date of this Agreement, (i) there are no outstanding options,
warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character

additional shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
(ii) there are no outstanding debt securities, and (iii) there are no agreements

rights or other similar rights of stockholders of the Company.

         e. ACKNOWLEDGMENT REGARDING BUYER'S PURCHASE OF THE SECURITIES. The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer is not acting as financial
advisor to or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity with respect
to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby), that this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby, and the relationship between the Buyer
and the Company, are and will be considered "arms-length" notwithstanding any
other or prior agreements or nexus between the Buyer and the Company, whether or
not disclosed, and that any statement made by the Buyer, or any of its
representatives or agents, in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby is not advice or a recommendation, is merely
incidental to the Buyer's purchase of the Securities and has not been relied
upon in any way by the Company, its officers or directors. The Company further
represents to the Buyer that the Company's decision to enter into this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby have been based solely upon an
independent evaluation by the Company, its officers and directors.

         f. NO INTEGRATED OFFERING. Neither the Company, nor any of its
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or
indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to
buy any security under circumstances which would prevent the parties hereto from
consummating the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to an exemption from
registration under the 1933 Act and specifically in accordance with the
provisions of Regulation D.


                                      -7-

The transactions contemplated hereby are exempt from the registration
requirements of the 1933 Act, assuming the accuracy of the representations and
warranties contained herein of the Buyer.

         g. NO CONFLICTS. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an
event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under,
or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or
any of its subsidiaries is a party, or result in a violation of any law, rule,
regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities
laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by
which any property or asset of the Company or any of its 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). Except as set forth in Schedule 3(g)
(attached if applicable), neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in
violation of its Articles of Incorporation or other organizational documents,
and neither the Company nor any of its/subsidiaries is in default (and no event
has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would put the Company
or any of its subsidiaries in default) under, nor has there occurred any event
giving others (with notice or lapse of time or both) any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or
instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, except
for possible defaults or rights as would not, in the aggregate or individually,
have a Material Adverse Effect. The business of the Company and its subsidiaries
is not being conducted, and shall not be conducted so long as the Buyer owns any
of the Securities, in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any
governmental entity, except for possible violations which neither singly or in
the aggregate would have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as specifically
contemplated by this Agreement and as required under the 1933 Act and any
applicable state securities laws (any of which exceptions are set forth in
Schedule 3(g)), the Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization
or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental
agency (except for such consents, authorizations or orders as would not have a
Material Adverse Effect) in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of
its obligations under this Agreement, the Certificate of Designations, the
Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Escrow Agreement in
accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, or to perform its obligations with
respect to the Preferred Stock exactly as described in the Certificate of
Designations (once the Preferred Stock is issued), and with respect to the
Warrants exactly as described in the Warrants (once issued).

Buyer true and complete copies of the SEC Documents, except for such exhibits,
schedules and incorporated documents. As of their respective dates, the SEC
Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934
Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable
to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed
with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of
the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material
respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and
regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
consistently applied, 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 exclude
footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements or are otherwise subject to
normal year-end adjustments) and fairly present in all material respects the
financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of
unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). No other
information provided by or on behalf of the Company to the Buyer (including the
information referred to in Section 2(d) of this Agreement) contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstance under
which they are or were made, not misleading. Except as set forth in the
financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents, the Company
has no material liabilities, contingent or otherwise (to the best of the
knowledge of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, President or any other
senior level officer of the Company (the "Company's Knowledge")), other than (i)
liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to the date
of such financial statements and (ii) obligations under contracts and
commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under
generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in such financial
statements, in each case of clause (i) and (ii) next above which, individually
or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition, business,
operations, properties, operating results or prospects of the Company. The SEC
Documents contain a complete and accurate list of all written and oral
contracts, agreements, leases or other instruments to which the Company or any
subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any subsidiary is subject which
are required by the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC to be so listed
(each a "Contract"). None of the Company, its subsidiaries or, to the best of
the Company's Knowledge, any of the other parties thereto, is in breach or
violation of any Contract which breach or violation would, or with the lapse of
time, the giving of notice, or both, have a Material Adverse Effect.

         i. ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES. Except as disclosed in the SEC
Documents, since at least December 6, 1999, there has been no material adverse
change and no material adverse development in the business, properties,
operation, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the
Company. The Company has not taken any steps, and does not currently have any
reasonable expectation of taking any steps, to seek protection pursuant to any
bankruptcy law nor does the Company have any knowledge that its creditors intend
to initiate involuntary bankruptcy


                                      -9-

proceedings. The Company shall, at least until Buyer no longer holds any of the
Securities, maintain its corporate existence in good standing and shall pay all
taxes when due except for taxes it reasonably disputes.

         j. ABSENCE OF LITIGATION. Except as set forth in Schedule 3(j)
(attached if applicable), there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or
investigation before or by any court, public board or body pending or threatened
against or affecting the Company, wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or
finding would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which
would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the validity or enforceability
of, or the authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under,
this Agreement or any of the documents contemplated herein.

         k. FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES. Neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries, nor to the best of the Company's Knowledge, any officer, director
or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any subsidiary has, in the
course of his actions for or on behalf of the Company, used any corporate funds
for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expense
relating to political activity, made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to
any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds;
violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act of 1977, as amended; or made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence
payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic
government official or employee.

         l. BROKERS; NO GENERAL SOLICITATION. The Company has taken no action
that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions,
finder's fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby, other than to Delano Group Securities, L.L.C.,
and Wall Street Concepts. The Company and the Buyer both acknowledge that no
other broker or finder was involved with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby, other than Delano Group Securities, L.L.C., and Wall Street
Concepts. Neither the Company nor any distributor participating on the Company's
behalf in the transactions contemplated hereby nor any person acting for the
Company, or any such distributor, has conducted any "general solicitation," as
described in Rule 502(c) under Regulation D, with respect to the Securities
being offered hereby.

         m. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF DILUTION. The number of Conversion Shares and
Dividend Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and the number
of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may increase
substantially in certain circumstances, including without limitation the
circumstance wherein the trading price of the Common Stock declines. The
Company's executive officers and directors have studied and fully understand the
nature of the securities being sold hereunder and recognize they 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. The Company acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion
Shares and Dividend Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and Warrant
Shares upon exercise of the Warrants is binding upon it and enforceable
regardless of the dilution that such issuance may have on the ownership
interests of other stockholders.

         n. ELIGIBILITY TO FILE REGISTRATION STATEMENT. The Company is currently
eligible to file a registration statement with the SEC either on Form SB-1 or
Form SB-2 under the 1933 Act.

         o. (Intentionally Omitted.)

         p. NON-DISCLOSURE OF NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION. (a) The Company shall in
no event disclose material, non-public information to the Buyer, advisors to or
representatives of the Buyer unless prior to or contemporaneously with such
disclosure of information the Company marks such information as "non-public
information - confidential" and provides the Buyer, such advisors and
representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such
non-public information for review. The Company may, as a condition to disclosing
any non-public information hereunder, require the Buyer, its advisors and
representatives to enter into a confidentiality agreement in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and the Buyer.

                  (b) Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose
non-public information to the Buyer, its advisors or representatives, and the
Company represents that it does not disseminate material non-public information
to investors who purchase stock in the Company in a public offering, to money
managers or to securities analysts; provided, however, that notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Company will, as hereinabove provided,
immediately notify the advisors and representatives of the Buyer and, if any,
underwriters, of any event or the existence of any circumstance (without any
obligation to disclose the specific event or circumstance) of which it becomes
aware, constituting non-public information (whether or not requested of the
Company specifically or generally during the course of due diligence by such
persons or entities), which, if not disclosed in the prospectus included in the
registration statement to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement, would cause such prospectus to include a material misstatement or to
omit a material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading. Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that such persons or
entities other than the Buyer (without the written consent of the Buyer prior to
disclosure of such information) may not obtain non-public information in the
course of conducting due diligence in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and nothing herein shall prevent any such persons or entities from
notifying the Company of their opinion that, based upon such due diligence by
such persons or entities, that the registration statement contains an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits a material fact required to be stated in
such registration statement or necessary to make the statements contained
therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

         4. COVENANTS.

         a. BEST EFFORTS. Each party shall use its best efforts timely to
satisfy each of the conditions to be satisfied by it as provided in Sections 6
and 7 of this Agreement.


                                      -11-
<PAGE>

         b. SECURITIES LAWS. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D (and any
equivalent form required by applicable state law) with respect to the Securities
if and as required under Regulation D and applicable state securities laws and
to provide a copy thereof to the Buyer promptly after such filing. The Company
shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as is necessary to sell
the Securities being sold to the Buyer on each such date under applicable
securities laws of the United States and the relevant state(s), and shall if
specifically so requested provide evidence of any such action so taken to the
Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date.

         c. REPORTING STATUS. So long as the Buyer beneficially owns any of the
Securities, the Company shall file all reports required to be filed with the SEC
pursuant to the 1934 Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an
issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the
rules and regulations hereunder would permit such termination.

         d. USE OF PROCEEDS. The Company will use the proceeds from the sale of
the Securities for operating capital and capital expansion.

         e. FINANCIAL INFORMATION. Until such time as the Buyer no longer
beneficially owns Securities, the Company agrees to send the following reports
to the Buyer: (i) after filing with the SEC, a copy of each of its Annual
Reports, its Quarterly Reports, and any reports filed on Form 8-K; and (ii) as
soon as reasonably practicable after release thereof, copies of all press
releases issued by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

         f. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company shall at all times have
authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, a sufficient number of
shares of Common Stock to provide for the issuance of all of the Conversion
Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Dividend Shares (if any). Prior to complete
conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants, the Company
shall not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance
hereunder without the written consent of the Buyer except for a reduction
proportionate to a reverse stock split effected for a business purpose other
than affecting the requirements of this Section, which reverse stock split
affects all shares of Common Stock equally.

         g. LISTING. Upon the Closing, the Company shall promptly secure the
listing of the Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock and the Warrants upon
each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon
which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of
issuance) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall
be so listed, such listing of shares of Registrable Securities from time to time
issued under the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
The Company shall at all times comply in all respects with the Company's
reporting, filing and other obligations under the by-laws or rules of the
National Association of Securities Dealers and the OTC BULLETIN BOARD MARKET (or
such other national securities exchange or market on which the Common Stock may
then be listed, as applicable).


                                      -12-
<PAGE>

         h. PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENT. The Buyer understands that the 1933
Act requires delivery of a prospectus relating to the Common Stock in connection
with any sale thereof pursuant to a registration statement under the 1933 Act
covering any resale by the Buyer of the Common Stock being sold, and the Buyer
shall comply with any applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933
Act in connection with any such sale. The Company shall have the unequivocal
right to rely upon the Buyer's representation and covenant to deliver a
prospectus as required by applicable law or regulation contained in this Section
4(h), and thus, with respect to any resales by the Buyer pursuant to a
registration statement of Common Stock issued to the Buyer upon conversion of
the Preferred Stock (or in payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock) or upon
exercise of the Warrants, such Common Stock shall not contain a restrictive
legend of any kind. The Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and
its transfer agent for any loss, cost or expense (including reasonable
attorney's fees) incurred by such parties as a result of improper actions taken
by the Buyer in response to the Company's and the transfer agent's compliance
with the provisions of this Section 4(h), including without limitation the sales
of such Common Stock without delivery of a prospectus as required by applicable
law or regulation.

         i. INTENTIONAL ACTS OR OMISSIONS. Neither party shall intentionally
perform any act that if performed, or omit to perform any act that if omitted to
be performed, would prevent or excuse the performance of this Agreement or any
of the transactions contemplated hereby.

         j. NO SHORTING. As a material inducement for the Company to enter into
this Agreement, the Buyer represents that it has not as of the date hereof, and
covenants on behalf of itself and its affiliates that neither Buyer nor any
affiliate of Buyer will at any time in which the Buyer or any affiliate of the
Buyer beneficially owns any of the Securities, engage in any short sales of, or
hedging or arbitrage transactions with respect to, the Common Stock, or buy
"put" options or similar instruments with respect to the Common Stock. The
Company acknowledges that a sale of Conversion Shares, Dividend Shares or
Warrant Shares on the date a conversion of the Preferred Stock (or exercise
notice for the Warrants) is made, even if such sale is made prior to delivery of
the notice of conversion with respect to such Conversion Shares (or exercise
notice with respect to such Warrant Shares), is not a "short sale" for purposes
of this Section 4(j).

         k. EXPENSES. The Company agrees to pay to or at the direction of the
Buyer the sum of $3,000.00 at the Closing as reimbursement for the attorney's
fees and expenses of the Buyer incurred by it in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         l. NO ADDITIONAL ISSUANCE OF SERIES F PREFERRED STOCK. The Company
agrees that it will not issue Preferred Stock to any person other than to the
Buyer or to the other buyers concurrently executing agreements of like tenor
with this Agreement (collectively, the "Other Buyers") in respect of the
transactions contemplated herein and therein.

         m. RESTRICTION ON BELOW MARKET ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES. Until the date
which is the earlier of twelve (12) months from the Closing Date or the date the
Preferred Stock has been redeemed or converted in full, the Company shall not
issue or agree to issue (other than (i) to the


                                      -13-
<PAGE>

Buyer and to the Other Buyers pursuant to the transactions contemplated herein,
(ii) pursuant to any employee stock option plan or employee stock purchase plan
of the Company established during the term of this restriction for a legitimate
business purpose and not to avoid the restrictions imposed in this Section 4(m),
(iii) pursuant to any existing security, option, warrant, scrip, call or
commitment or right in each case as disclosed on Schedule 3(c) hereof, or (iv)
with the consent of the Buyer and the Other Buyers, not to be unreasonably
withheld) any equity securities of the Company (or any security convertible into
or exercisable or exchangeable, directly or indirectly, for equity securities of
the Company) or debt securities of the Company if such securities are issued at
a price (or provide for a conversion, exercise or exchange price) which may be
less than the current market price for the Common Stock on the date of issuance
(in the case of Common Stock) or the date of conversion, exercise or exchange
(in the case of securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable,
directly or indirectly, for Common Stock). In the event the Company seeks to
offer such securities as permitted in subsection 4(m)(iv) of this Section, the
Company shall first offer to the Buyer and to the Other Buyers, pro rata, the
opportunity to purchase such securities on the same terms and conditions as
proposed by the Company (the "First Offer"). The Buyer shall have ten (10) days
to advise the Company in writing that it accepts its pro rata share of the First
Offer. If the Buyer does not so advise the Company, the Company shall be free,
for a period of sixty (60) days, to issue such securities as proposed to such
other party, after which sixty (60) day period the restrictions contained in
this Section 4(m) shall apply as if the Buyer had not given its consent and the
First Offer had not been made to the Buyer. From and after the date of this
Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the
holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock, enter into any agreement with any
holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which would allow
such holder or prospective holder to include such securities in any registration
statement filed under Section 2 of the Registration Rights Agreement except
those matters identified in Schedule 3(c).

         5. LEGEND AND TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS.

         a. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS. The Company shall instruct its transfer
agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of the Buyer or its
permitted nominee, for the Conversion Shares, the Warrant Shares and the
Dividend Shares (if any) in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Preferred Stock and Warrants and in such amounts as are set forth in the
Certificate of Designations and Warrants, respectively, upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants (as applicable). All such
certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this
Agreement only to the extent required by applicable law and as specified in this
Agreement and the Exhibits and Addenda hereto, and with consideration to Section
4(h) hereof. The Company warrants that no instruction other than such
instructions referred to in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to
give effect to Section 2(f) hereof in the case of the Conversion Shares, the
Warrant Shares and the Dividend Shares (if any) prior to the registration of
same under the 1933 Act, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and
that the Conversion Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Dividend Shares (if any)
shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of


                                      -14-
<PAGE>

the Company as and to the extent permitted by applicable law and provided by
this Agreement, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement. Nothing in
this Section shall affect in any way the Buyer's obligations and agreement to
comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of the Conversion Shares,
the Warrant Shares and/or the Dividend Shares (if any). If the Buyer (x)
provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Company that registration by the Buyer of the Preferred Stock, the Warrants, the
Warrant Shares, the Conversion Shares and/or the Dividend Shares (if any) is not
required under the 1933 Act and that resale is otherwise permitted under
applicable securities laws, or (y) transfers Securities to an affiliate which is
an accredited investor (in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) or
in compliance with Rule 144, then in either instance the Company shall permit
the said transfer, and if applicable promptly (and in all events within two (2)
trading days) instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in
such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer.

         b. REMOVAL OF LEGENDS. The Legend shall be removed and the Company
shall issue a certificate without such Legend to the holder of any Security upon
which it is stamped, and a certificate for a security shall be originally issued
without the Legend, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (x)
the resale of such Security is registered under the 1933 Act, or (y) such holder
provides the Company with an opinion by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, that is in form, substance and scope reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be
made without registration under the 1933 Act or (z) such holder provides the
Company with assurances reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel,
that such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144. The Buyer agrees that its
sale of all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from
which the Legend has been removed, or which were originally issued without the
Legend, shall be made only pursuant to an effective registration statement (and
to deliver a prospectus in connection with such sale) or in compliance with an
exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. In the event the
Legend is removed from any Security or any Security is issued without the Legend
and thereafter the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the sales
of such Security is suspended or the Company determines that a supplement or
amendment thereto is required by applicable securities laws, then upon
reasonable advance notice to the holder of such Security, the Company shall be
entitled to require that the Legend be placed upon any such Security which
cannot then be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144
or with respect to which the opinion referred to in clause (y) next above has
not been rendered, which Legend shall be removed when such Security may be sold
pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 (or such holder
provides the opinion with respect thereto described in clause (y) next above.

         c. CONVERSION OF PREFERRED STOCK. The Buyer shall have the right to
convert the Preferred Stock sold hereunder by delivering via facsimile an
executed and completed Notice of Conversion (as defined in the Certificate of
Designations) to the Company and delivering within two (2) business days
thereafter the original Notice of Conversion and the original Preferred Stock
certificate being converted (but only at such time as such original Preferred
Stock certificate being converted is converted in full into Common Stock, unless
otherwise specifically requested by the Company) by express courier to the
Company. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is faxed


                                      -15-
<PAGE>

to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a
"Conversion Date." The Company will transmit the certificates (each a
"Certificate" and collectively the "Certificates") representing the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Preferred Stock, including also any
applicable Dividend Shares (along with a replacement certificate representing
the number of preferred shares not so converted, if applicable) to the Buyer via
express courier, within five (5) business days after the relevant Conversion
Date (with respect to each conversion, the "Deadline").

         d. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF FOR BREACH. The Company acknowledges that a breach
of its obligations under Sections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) above will cause
irreparable harm to the Buyer by vitiating the intent and purpose of the
transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly the Company agrees that the remedy
at law for a breach of its obligations under such Sections would be inadequate
and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the
provisions of such Sections, the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all
other remedies at law or in equity, to an injunction restraining any breach and
requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing
economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

         e. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR NON-DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES. In addition to
the provisions of Section 5(d) above, the Company understands and agrees that a
delay in the issuance of any of the Certificates beyond the Deadline will result
in substantial economic loss and other damages to the Buyer. As partial
compensation to the Buyer for such loss, the Company agrees to pay liquidated
damages (which the Company acknowledges is not a penalty) to the Buyer for
issuance and delivery of any Certificate after the Deadline, in accordance with
the following schedule (where "No. Business Days Late" is defined as the number
of business days beyond five (5) business days from the date of delivery by the
Buyer to the Company of a facsimile Notice of Conversion (or, if later, from the
date on which all other necessary documentation duly executed and in proper form
required for conversion of Preferred Stock as described in this Agreement,
including the original Notice of Conversion, all in accordance with this
Agreement ONLY IF such necessary documentation has not been delivered to the
Company within the two (2) business day period after the facsimile delivery to
the Company of the Notice of Conversion as required in this Agreement)):

         The Company shall pay the Buyer any liquidated damages incurred as
called for under this Section 5(e) by certified or cashier's check upon the
earlier of (i) issuance of the relevant Certificate(s) to the Buyer or (ii) each
monthly anniversary of the receipt by the Company of the Buyer's Notice of
Conversion. Nothing herein shall limit the Buyer's right to pursue actual
damages for the Company's failure to issue and deliver all Certificates to the
Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or for breach by the
Company of this Agreement.

         6. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO SELL.

         The obligation of the Company hereunder to sell Preferred Stock and
Warrants at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, on or before the Closing
Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are
for the Company's sole benefit and may be waived by the Company at any time in
its sole discretion:

         a. The parties shall have executed this Agreement, the Registration
Rights Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and the parties shall have delivered
the respective documents or signature pages thereof (via facsimile or otherwise
as permitted in the Escrow Agreement) to the Escrow Agent.

         b. Prior to or contemporaneous with the Closing, Augustine Fund, L.P.,

Company the Purchase Price for the Preferred Stock and Warrants purchased at the
Closing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the wiring
instructions provided by the Escrow Agent.

         d. The representations and warranties of the Buyer shall be true and
correct in all material respects as of the date made and as of the Closing Date
as though made at that time (except for representations and warranties that
speak as of a specific date), and the Buyer shall have performed, satisfied and
complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions
required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the
Buyer at or prior to the Closing Date.

         e. No statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or
injunction shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or endorsed by any
court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or any self regulatory
organization having authority over the matters contemplated hereby which
restricts or prohibits the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated
herein.

         f. The Company's Board of Directors (and if necessary, the shareholders
of the Company) shall have approved this Agreement and the related documentation
referred to herein.

proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on such judgment or in any other lawful manner.

         b. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same
agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each
party and signature pages from such counterparts have been delivered to the
Escrow Agent on behalf of the other party. In the event any signature page is
delivered by facsimile transmission (which the parties agree is an acceptable
form of delivery), the party using such means of delivery shall cause one (1)
original for Warrants and three (3) additional originally executed signature
pages with respect to any other document described herein to be physically

         d. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not

                                    Attention: Mr. Samuel Beale, General Counsel

If to the Buyer, at the address on the signature page of this Agreement. Each
party shall provide written notice to the other party of any change in address.

         g. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
Neither the Company nor the Buyer shall assign this Agreement or any rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and in any event any assignee of
the Buyer shall be an accredited investor (as defined in Regulation D), in the
written opinion of counsel who is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and in
form, substance and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable, any of the entities constituting
the Buyer (if greater than one (1) entity) may assign its rights hereunder to
any of its "affiliates," as that term is defined under the 1934 Act, without the
consent of the Company;


                                      -20-
<PAGE>

provided, however, that any such assignment shall not release such assigning
entity from its obligations hereunder unless such obligations are assumed by
such affiliate and the Company has prior to such assignment and assumption
consented in writing to the same; and no such assignment shall be made unless it
is made in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any applicable
jurisdiction. Any request for an assignment made hereunder by the Buyer shall be
accompanied by a legal opinion in form, substance and scope reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, that such assignment is proper under applicable
law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer may pledge the
Securities as collateral for a bona fide loan pursuant to a security agreement
with a third party lender, and such pledge shall not be considered an assignment
in violation of this Agreement so long as it is made in compliance with all
applicable law.

         h. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is intended for the
benefit of the parties hereto, any other buyer who execute an Agreement of like
tenor with this Agreement, and their respective permitted successors and
assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced
by, any other person.

         i. SURVIVAL. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 8(1),
the representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyer contained in
Sections 2 and 3 and the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and
8 shall survive the Closing of the purchase and sale of Securities purchased and
sold hereby.

         j. PUBLICITY. The Company and the Buyer shall have the right to review
before issuance by the other, any press releases or any other public statements
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that
the Company shall be entitled, without prior consultation with or approval of
the Buyer, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to
such transactions as is required by applicable law and regulations.

         k. FURTHER ASSURANCE. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be
done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and
deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as
the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

         l. TERMINATION. In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred
on or before ten (10) business days from the date hereof, this Agreement shall
terminate at the close of business on such date. Neither party may unilaterally
terminate this Agreement after the Closing for any reason other than a material
breach of this Agreement by the non- breaching party. Such termination shall not
be the sole remedy for a breach of this Agreement by the non-breaching party,
and each party shall retain all of its rights hereunder at law or in equity.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a party whose breach of a
covenant or representation and warranty or failure to satisfy a condition
prevented the Closing shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement.


                                      -21-

         m. REMEDIES. No provision of this Agreement providing for any specific
remedy to a party shall be construed to limit such party to the specific remedy
described, and any other remedy that would otherwise be available to such party
at law or in equity shall be so available. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit
any rights a party may have with any applicable federal or state securities laws
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Buyer and the Company have caused this
Securities Purchase Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first written
above.

                      TRITON SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT


                                  Schedule 3(j)


                          ACTIVE LITIGATION (MATERIAL):

The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Cynet Interactive, L.L.C., have
been named as defendants in a suit filed November 19, 1999 in the District Court
of Harris County, Texas, 61st Judicial District (Cause No. 1999-57579) by Bank &
Estate Liquidators, Inc., a former customer of Cynet Interactive. The plaintiff
alleges among other things, that Cynet Interactive failed to complete the design
and development of an Internet Live Auction project in accordance with alleged
contract terms and conditions and is seeking to recover actual and treble
damages. The Company has retained counsel to defend the matter vigorously.
Although the Company has not completed its discovery investigation of the claims
asserted by the plaintiff in this matter, the Company does not believe that this
suit will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company has been named as defendant in a suit filed on April 10, 2000 in the
District Court of Harris County, Texas,125th Judicial District (Cause No.
2000-18705) by George C. Ballas, Sr. and W. Glenn McKeown which suit was first
served on the Company on May 3, 2000. The plaintiffs allege that under the
leadership of the founder, Ray Davis, the Company entered into a settlement with
Mr. Ballas settling personal obligations of Mr. Davis and of prior businesses
owned by Mr. Davis, whereby the Company was obligated to issue to Ballas 50,000
shares of CYNET, Inc. when the company "went public." The Company can find no
consideration to support the alleged obligation to Ballas. The plaintiffs ask
for money damages including treble damages. The Company has retained counsel to
defend the matter vigorously. Although the Company has not completed its
discovery investigation of the claims asserted by the plaintiff in this matter,
the Company does not believe that this suit will have a material adverse effect
on the Company.


                        CLAIMS IN DISCUSSION AND WORKOUT

         On January 31, 2000, the Company received a letter from a major
telecommunications carrier asserting that the Company failed to meet certain
financial obligations including both payment for services rendered totaling
approximately $248,000 and certain short fall penalties on volume commitments
for long distance services totaling approximately $1,100,000. The alleged
liability to the Company as a result of the agreement, including future year
volume commitments and other expenses is approximately $4,000,000. The Company
has disputed the claim based on the Company's assertion that the carrier
breached the contract with respect to services rendered. The parties are
presently in preliminary discussions to resolve their disputes. The Company
believes it will resolve the issues relating to this dispute by entering into a
new multi-year agreement for long distance or related services and does not
expect this dispute to have a material adverse effect on the Company.


                                      -28-
<PAGE>

On May 16, 2000, the Company received a letter from a telecommunications product
manufacturer asserting that the Company had failed to meet certain financial
obligations including financing the purchase of approximately $1,800,000 of
equipment. The Company has disputed the claim based upon the Company's assertion
that the manufacturer breached the contract with respect to product defects,
technical support, and related disclosures concerning the product. The parties
are presently in discussions to resolve their disputes. The Company believes it
will resolve the issues relating to the dispute by reforming the contract and
substituting improved products. The Company does not expect this dispute will
have a material adverse effect on the Company.
