     WHEREAS,  the  parties to the Merger  Agreement  desire to amend the Merger

          Section 3.1 Conversion of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time,
     by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of
     any capital  stock of the  Company,  each issued and  outstanding  share of
     Company  Common  Stock (as defined in Section  5.2(a)),  shall,  subject to
     Sections  3.6,  3.7 and 3.11,  be  converted  into the right to receive 1.6
     shares of Parent Common Stock (as defined in Section 4.2(a)) (the "Exchange
     Number"); provided that each issued and outstanding share of Company Common
     Stock (as defined in Section  5.2(a))  which is issued by the Company after
     the date hereof but prior to the  Effective  Date in respect of an exercise
     of rights  under the  Company's  Preferred  Stock,  warrants,  options,  or

     such share of Company  Preferred Stock  immediately  prior to the Effective
     Time;  and (y) 1.77.  At the  Effective  Time,  by virtue of the Merger and

     agreements   issued  by  the  Company  in  connection   therewith.   Parent
     acknowledges that the convertible  promissory notes issued and to be issued
     in connection  with the Bridge  Placement  provide for  conversion of their
     outstanding  principal balances, at the election of the holders thereof and
     subject to certain  terms and  conditions  therein,  into shares of Company
     Common Stock if the election is made prior to the Merger and into shares of
     Parent Common Stock if the election is made after the Merger.

         Section 5.2       Capitalization.

             (a)  The  authorized  capital  stock  of the  Company  consists  of
             10,000,000  shares of common stock, $.01 par value ("Company Common
             Stock"),  and 10,000,000  shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value
             ("Company  Preferred  Stock").  As of August 14, 2000,  the Company
             Preferred Stock has been issued in three series,  designated Series
             A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
             and Series C Convertible  Preferred  Stock, it being  understood by
             Parent that the Company may hereafter  designate a fourth series of
             preferred  stock,  Series D Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  and may
             issue,  and privately  place,  such shares.  As of August 14, 2000,
             4,000,000  shares of  Company  Common  Stock,  1,650,000  shares of
             Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,  1,489,504 shares of Series B
             Convertible  Preferred  Stock  and  1,695,666  shares  of  Series C
             Convertible  Preferred  Stock were issued and  outstanding.  All of
             such issued and outstanding shares are validly issued and are fully
             paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights.

             (b) Except for (i) options and warrants to purchase an aggregate of
             2,231,158   and   1,189,592   shares  of  Company   Common   Stock,
             respectively,  (ii) the  Company  Preferred  Stock,  and  (iii) the
             securities  issued and to be issued in  connection  with the Bridge
             Placement (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Statement), there
             are not outstanding as of August 14, 2000  subscriptions,  options,
             calls,  contracts,   commitments,   understandings,   restrictions,
             arrangements, rights or warrants, including any right of conversion
             or exchange  under any  outstanding  security,  instrument or other
             agreement and also including any rights plan or other anti-takeover
             agreement  obligating  the  Company to issue,  deliver or sell,  or
             cause to be issued,  delivered  or sold,  additional  shares of the
             capital  stock of the Company or  obligating  the Company to grant,
             extend or enter into any such agreement or commitment. There are no
             voting trusts,  proxies or other  agreements or  understandings  to
             which the Company is a party or is bound with respect to the voting
             of any shares of capital stock of the Company other than any voting
             agreements executed in connection with this Agreement.

             (c)  Parent  acknowledges  that (i) the  Company's  Certificate  of
             Designation,  Preferences and Rights of Series C Convertible  Stock
             contains  anti-dilution  provisions  which  are  triggered  by  the
             issuance of convertible  securities at a conversion  price or ratio
             of less than $3.50 per share,  (ii) the Company,  since the date of
             the Merger Agreement,  has issued, and prior to the Effective Time,
             may issue, convertible securities at a conversion price or ratio of
             less than $3.50 per share,  (iii) as a result of the  triggering of
             these  anti-dilution  provisions  the  number of shares of  Company
             Common Stock that must be issued upon conversion of the outstanding
             Series  C  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  has  increased  and  will
             continue to increase, and (iv) these anti-dilution  provisions will
             be given effect, as of the Effective Time,  pursuant to Section 3.2
             of the Merger Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

     2.  Conditions.  The  following  is  added  to  Section  8.1 of the  Merger
Agreement:  (g) The Company must have received from escrow the proceeds from the
offering of the Company's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock in an amount, net
of fees and  expenses,  of at least  $2,500,000.  On the date  that the  Company
receives such proceeds from that offering of the Series D Preferred  Stock,  the
Company shall make a wire transfer of the  Consulting Fee described in Section 5
below to Parent.

                                       2
<PAGE>

             (h)  The  amount  owed by the  Company  to  Parent  at  closing  as
             described  in  Section  7.8  ($10,000)  shall be paid by Company to
             Parent as follows: $2,500 on the date this Amendment is signed, and
             $7,500 not later than October 16, 2000.  Parent shall use the funds
             to pay  outstanding  obligations  to third  parties and to make the
             mailing to Parent  shareholders of the notice  described in Section
             8.2 (e) of the Merger Agreement.

     3. Additional Agreements. A new Section 7.12 is added:

          7.12 Parent's  obligations  hereunder are conditioned  upon completing
     the Merger by the close of business on October 31, 2000. Whether or not the
     Merger is  completed  by that  date,  the  Company  shall pay to Parent the
     consulting fee as and when described in Section 5 of this Amendment. If the
     Merger is not  completed by October 31,  2000,  and Parent  terminates  the
     Merger  Agreement under Section  9.1(b)(i) of the Merger  Agreement,  or if
     either party duly  terminates  the Merger  Agreement in accordance  with an
     express  termination right provided in Section 9.1 of the Merger Agreement,
     then except as provided in Section 5 of this  Amendment  and in Section 9.2
     of the Merger Agreement,  each of the parties agree that they shall have no
     recourse against each other, their officers and directors,  and the parties
     shall be deemed to have completely  released and discharged each other from
     any and all claims which either of them or their affiliates or stockholders
     could assert  against the other or their  officers or directors as a result
     of termination of the Merger Agreement.

     4.  Closing  Date.  Each  reference in Section 3.8 and in Article IX of the
Merger Agreement to September 15, 2000 is amended to October 31, 2000.

     5.  Consulting  Services.  Commencing  on the date of this  Amendment,  and
continuing through the Effective Time, Parent shall provide to the Company, upon
reasonable request of the Company from time to time, the consulting  services of
Marsik. The scope of Marsik's  consulting services will be to assist the Company
in any  reasonable  respect to facilitate  the  consummation  of the Merger.  In
consideration for these consulting  services,  the Company shall pay to Parent a
consulting  fee of  $75,000.  The  consulting  fee shall be due and  payable  to
Parent,  whether or not the Merger is consummated,  on the date that the Company
receives from escrow the proceeds  from the offering of the  Company's  Series D
Convertible  Preferred Stock in an amount, net of fees and expenses, of at least
$2,500,000.

     6. General. Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment,  the terms and
provisions of the Merger  Agreement shall continue  unmodified and in full force
and effect. This Amendment shall be governed and construed under the laws of the
State of California.  This Amendment  shall be binding on and shall inure to the
benefit  of the  parties  and their  respective  successors  and  assigns.  This
Amendment  may be  executed  in  counterparts,  each of which shall be deemed an
original,  but all of which,  taken together,  shall  constitute on and the same
instrument.

     IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties  hereto have  caused  this  Amendment  to
Agreement  and Plan of Merger to be signed  and  delivered  as of the date first
written above.

                                       Ira Morris, President, Chief Executive
                                       Officer and Chief Operating OfficerSTOCK COMPENSATION AGREEMENT

     THIS  AGREEMENT,  is made  effective  September  25,  2000,  and is between
ProCare Industries,  Ltd. ("Company") and Robert W. Marsik, President ("Marsik")
and is made with reference to the following agreed facts:

     A. The  Company is a publicly  owned  corporation  in good  standing  under
applicable  state and federal  securities  and corporate law. The Company has no
present  assets  with which to pay its  accumulated  and  ongoing  expenses  and
obligations.

     B. The Company,  through its Board of Directors,  since 1999 has endeavored
to seek and consummate a suitable acquisition  transaction pursuant to which the
Company  will  acquire the assets and  business  of one or more  privately-owned
businesses,  such that the Company  would  become an operating  entity,  thereby
providing  the  private   business  with  the  structure  of  a   publicly-owned
corporation and providing liquidity and value to the present shareholders of the
Company.

     C. In July 1999, the Company entered into a Funding  Agreement with Marsik,
which  agreement  was modified  slightly and replaced  with the Revised  Funding
Agreement.  Under the Revised  Funding  Agreement,  the Company agreed to pay to
Marsik a  contingent  payment of  $150,000  upon  completion  of an  acquisition
transaction by the Company and Mr. Marsik agreed to remain as an officer and the
President of the Company  through the earlier of  completion  of an  acquisition
transaction  or July 2000,  and Marsik also agreed to advance,  on behalf of the
Company,  payment of the Company's  liabilities and obligations  incurred during
the term of the  Agreement,  if the  Company  was unable to  satisfy  from other
sources.

     D. In late 1999, the Company entered into a letter of intent with FastPoint
Communications,  Inc., a Delaware corporation  ("FastPoint"),  pursuant to which
the Company and  FastPoint  indicated  their mutual  intention to structure  and
complete  an  acquisition  transaction  pursuant  to which the  stockholders  of
FastPoint  would  acquire  control of the  Company.  After a number of delays by
FastPoint,  an Agreement  and Plan of Merger  ("Merger  Agreement")  between the
Company and FastPoint was signed August 14, 2000 which required the  acquisition
transaction and the merger of FastPoint with and into a newly-formed  subsidiary
of the Company to be completed by September  15, 2000 or the Company  would have
the right to terminate the Merger  Agreement with  FastPoint.  FastPoint took no
material  action to meet the  conditions  established by FastPoint in the Merger
Agreement and the acquisition  transaction described in the Merger Agreement has
not been completed.  FastPoint has requested that the Company continue to pursue
the merger with FastPoint.

     E. Since the effective time of the Revised Funding  Agreement,  the Company
has received some funds from FastPoint as described in the Merger Agreement. The
Company  has used all  funds it has  received,  including  amounts  received  as
payment for  securities  issued by the Company,  to pay ongoing  expenses of the
Company and to make certain  advances to Marsik in anticipation  that the merger
transaction with FastPoint would be completed.

     F. Marsik has not received  the  compensation  contemplated  by the Revised
Funding  Agreement and the Company's  expenses incurred since the effective date
of that  agreement  have been much higher than  contemplated  at the time of the
agreement.

     G. Marsik is willing to continue to provide services as an officer and as a
director of the Company and to  represent  the Company in seeking to complete an
acceptable  acquisition  transaction  for the  Company.  However,  the  Board of
Directors has concluded that the Revised Funding Agreement should be modified.

     H. The Company and Marsik  intend to revise and  supplement  the  Company's
obligations under the Revised Funding Agreement as set forth herein.

<PAGE>

     NOW, THEREFORE,  in consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth
herein  and  for  other  good  and  valuable  consideration,   the  receipt  and
sufficiency  of which is hereby  acknowledged,  Marsik and the Company  agree as
follows:

     1. The  obligations  of the Company and Marsik as  described in the Revised
Funding Agreement shall be modified as set forth herein.

     2. Marsik shall continue to serve as the President and as a director of the
Company until the first to occur of the following: (i) July 1, 2001, or (ii) the
date on which an acquisition  transaction  approved by the Board of Directors of
the Company is completed.  In connection  with providing  such services,  Marsik
shall report his  activities  from time to time to the Board of Directors of the
Company and shall take such other action as may be necessary or  appropriate  or
as shall be assigned by the Board of Directors.

     3. The Company shall use its cash,  received from whatever  source,  to pay
the Company's obligations to third parties. To the extent that Marsik has in the
past paid, or may hereafter advance, on behalf of the Company, payment of any of
the Company's  obligations to third parties, the Company shall, at or before the
completion of an acquisition transaction,  pay to, or reimburse,  Marsik for all
such payments made by him on behalf of the Company.

     4. As of the date  hereof,  the  Company  shall  issue to Marsik  1,000,000
shares of the  Company's no par value common stock (the  "Shares") as contingent
compensation  to him for the  services  he has  provided  to the  Company  as an
officer and  director  and for  negotiating  the  acquisition  transaction  with
FastPoint,  and  attempting to complete the  transaction  for the benefit of the
Company.  The  Company  shall have the right,  however,  at the  Company's  sole
election,  to cancel the Shares being issued to Marsik and return such Shares to
the status of unissued  shares if the Company has taken,  or caused to be taken,
all of the following actions:

          o    Completed   an    acquisition    transaction    with    FastPoint
               Communications, Inc. or some other entity acceptable to the Board
               of Directors on or before October 31, 2000.

          o    Paid to Marsik, an amount equal to $150,000,  less the net amount
               of advances  made by the Company to Marsik  between July 31, 1999
               and July 1, 2000,  plus $20,000 for each month  beginning July 1,
               2000 until completion of an acquisition transaction.

          o    Received all amounts which  FastPoint is or shall be obligated to
               pay to the  Company  under  the  Merger  Agreement,  as it may be
               amended prior to closing of a transaction.

The Company shall be authorized and entitled to exercise its right to cancel the
issuance of the shares to Marsik if each of the  conditions set forth above have
occurred,  or are waived by Marsik,  by  delivering  written  notice  thereof to
Marsik  and  surrendering  the  certificate  evidencing  the Shares to the stock
transfer agent for the Company with directions to cancel the issuance thereof.

     5. The Company shall retain possession of the  certificate(s)  representing
the  Shares  until   November  15,  2000  and  shall   thereafter   deliver  the
certificate(s)  representing  the Shares to Marsik  unless the Company has on or
before such date notified  Marsik in writing that: (i) the conditions  described
above have been  satisfied and (ii) that the Company is exercising its option to
cancel the issuance of the Shares.

     6. The  parties  agree to take such  further  action and to  consider  such
additional  developments  as may be reasonably  necessary in order to accomplish
the purposes set forth herein.

                                       2

     7. This  revised  Agreement  shall  replace the Revised  Funding  Agreement
effective  as of July 1,  2000 in  order  to  accurately  reflect  the  parties'
intentions as stated above.

     Dated: effective September 25, 2000.
