<PAGE>

               restriction remains in effect, a legend in substantially the
               following form:

               THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
               RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER, INCLUDING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
               COMPANY AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS
               CERTIFICATE THAT THE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD FOR A
               CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME AFTER THE DATE OF ISSUANCE.

          (b)  RESTRICTED STOCK. The Venturi Shares have not been registered
               with the Securities and Exchange Commission, nor have the Venturi
               Shares been qualified under the securities laws of any state. The
               Seller acknowledges that the Venturi Shares are subject to the
               following restriction which will be printed in the following form
               on the certificates representing the Shares:

               THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
               REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
               "ACT") OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE (THE
               "LAW"). SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND
               NEITHER SAID SHARES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE SOLD OR
               OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
               STATEMENT FOR THE SHARES UNDER THE ACT AND QUALIFICATION UNDER
               THE LAW OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION
               THAT SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION ARE NOT REQUIRED AS TO
               SAID SALE OR OFFER.

          (c)  SELLER'S REPRESENTATIONS. Seller represents the following to
               Purchaser in order to establish exemptions from registration
               under Federal and state securities laws. Seller is acquiring the
               Shares for its own account, for investment, and not for resale in
               connection with any distribution thereof. Seller has such
               knowledge and experience in business and financial matters that
               it is capable of evaluating the risks of acquiring the Shares.
               Seller understands the speculative nature of the Shares. Seller
               has adequate net worth and means to provide for its current needs
               and to sustain a complete loss of its investment. Seller has no
               need of liquidity of its investment. Seller understands that at
               present only a limited public market exists, and that a more
               general public market may never exist, for the Shares and that
               the Purchaser is under no obligation to provide a market for the
               Shares.

          (d)  CONSENT TO DILUTION. Seller understands that Purchaser plans to
               acquire

<PAGE>

               other businesses and assets by issuing stock, and that Purchaser
               may issue shares of its stock for other reasons in the future.
               Seller understands and consents that future issuance of stock
               will dilute Seller's proportionate ownership of Purchaser.

          2.1.3 LIABILITIES UNDERTAKING. At the Closing Purchaser shall sign a
Liabilities Undertaking in the form of the attached Exhibit "A," pursuant to
which Purchaser agrees to pay or discharge the obligations set forth therein.

          2.1.4 EMPLOYMENT OF PRINCIPAL. As partial consideration for Seller's
Assets, at the Closing the Purchaser shall enter into an Employment Agreement
with John T. Freeberg in a form acceptable to the Seller and the Purchaser.

     3. CLOSING. The purchase and sale of the Seller's Assets (the "Closing")
provided for in this Agreement will take place at the offices of Venturi at 763
North 530 East, Orem, Utah 84097, at 10:00 a.m. (local time) on
________________, 1999, or such other place, time and date agreed to by the
Parties.

     4. SELLER'S OBLIGATIONS AT CLOSING; FURTHER ASSURANCES.

     4.1 At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser:

          4.1.1 a Bill of Sale and Assignment signed by Seller in the form
attached as Exhibit "B";

          4.1.2 any other instruments of assignment and transfer necessary to
vest in Purchaser good and marketable title to Seller's Assets;

          4.1.3 all contracts and records relating to Seller's Assets; and

          4.1.4 all documents required by this Agreement.

     4.2 At any time after the Closing, Purchaser may request and Seller must
sign and/or deliver any documents necessary to transfer and assign to Purchaser,
and confirm Purchaser's title to Seller's Assets, and to assist Purchaser in the
exercise of all rights thereto. After the Closing, Seller shall have access to
the books and records pertaining to its pre-closing operations.

     4.3 Purchaser shall have the right to collect any receivables that may be
transferred to Purchaser under this Agreement and to endorse Seller's name on
checks received for such receivables. Seller shall transfer to Purchaser any
cash or other property Seller receives for such receivables.

(including attorneys' fees, administrative fees, arbitrators' fees, and court
costs) to the prevailing party. The arbitrator(s) also may grant provisional or
ancillary remedies such as, for example, injunctive relief, attachment, or the
appointment of a receiver, either during the pendency of the arbitration
proceeding or as part of the arbitration award.

          16.3 Notwithstanding the applicability of other law to any agreements
or instruments between or among the Parties, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9
U.S.C. Sec. 1 ET SEQ. shall apply to the construction and interpretation of this
Agreement.

          16.4 The Parties acknowledge that they have read and understand the
following disclosures:

               ARBITRATION IS FINAL AND BINDING ON THE PARTIES.

               THE PARTIES ARE WAIVING THEIR RIGHT TO LITIGATE IN COURT,
               INCLUDING THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

               PRE-ARBITRATION DISCOVERY IS GENERALLY MORE LIMITED AND DIFFERENT
               FROM COURT PROCEEDINGS.

               ARBITRATORS' AWARDS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO INCLUDE FACTUAL FINDINGS
               OR LEGAL REASONING AND ANY PARTY'S RIGHT TO APPEAL OR TO SEEK
               MODIFICATION OF RULINGS BY ARBITRATORS IS STRICTLY LIMITED.

     17. LEGAL AND OTHER COSTS. In the event that any party defaults in its
obligations under this Agreement and, as a result thereof, another party seeks
to legally enforce its rights hereunder against the defaulting party, then, in
addition to all damages and other remedies to which the non-defaulting party is
entitled by reason of such default, the defaulting party shall be liable for and
shall promptly pay to the non-defaulting party an amount equal to all costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) paid or incurred by the
non-defaulting party in connection with such enforcement to the extent awarded
by arbitration.

     18. MISCELLANEOUS.

corporate party, its successors and assigns, and each individual party hereto
and his/her heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

to be valid under all laws, but in case any of the provisions shall be held to
be illegal or unenforceable, such illegality or unenforceability shall not

invalid provision was not included unless the absence of such provision would
make completing the transactions contemplated hereby unreasonable.

                            STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

     This STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of September __,
1999, by and between VENTURI TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Nevada corporation ("Buyer"),
and JEFFERY L. LEAVITT ("Seller").

                                    RECITALS

     A. Seller owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock (the
"Shares") of J.L.L.C., Inc., a Utah corporation transacting business under the
name Leavitt Restoration Services (the "Company").

     B. Seller desires to sell, and Buyer desires to purchase, all of the Shares
for the consideration and on the terms set forth in this Agreement.

                                    AGREEMENT

     The parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.   SALE AND TRANSFER OF SHARES; CLOSING

     1.1 PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller will sell and transfer the Shares to
Buyer, and Buyer will purchase the Shares from Seller. Buyer acknowledges and
agrees that at or prior to the Closing, the Company shall transfer to the
Seller, a 1997 Toyota truck (VIN No. ________________), together with all debts,
obligations and liabilities related to such truck.

     1.2 PURCHASE PRICE.

         1.2.1 VENTURI SHARES. As consideration for the Shares of the Company,
Buyer shall issue to Seller twenty five thousand (25,000) shares of Buyer's
authorized but unissued $0.001 par value common stock (the "Venturi Shares").

         1.2.2 RESTRICTED STOCK. The Shares issued to Seller under this
Agreement have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
nor have the Shares been qualified under the securities laws of any state. The
Seller acknowledges that the Shares are subject to the following restriction
which will be printed in the following form on the certificates representing the
Shares:

     THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
     UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT") OR QUALIFIED UNDER
     THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE (THE "LAW"). SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN

<PAGE>

     ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NEITHER SAID SHARES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN
     MAY BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
     STATEMENT FOR THE SHARES UNDER THE ACT AND QUALIFICATION UNDER THE LAW OR
     AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH
     REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION ARE NOT REQUIRED AS TO SAID SALE OR OFFER.

Seller represents the following to Purchaser in order to establish exemptions
from registration under Federal and state securities laws. Seller is acquiring
the Shares for his own account, for investment, and not for resale in connection
with any distribution thereof. Seller has such knowledge and experience in
business and financial matters that he is capable of evaluating the risks of
obtaining the Shares. Seller understands the speculative nature of the Shares.
Seller has adequate net worth and means to provide for his current needs and to
sustain a complete loss of his investment. Seller has no need of liquidity of
his investment. Seller understands that at present no public market exists, and
that a public market may never exist, for the Shares and that the Purchaser is
under no obligation to provide a market for the Shares.

         1.2.3 RESTRICTION ON RESALE. Except as provided below, Seller shall
not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, offer for sale, sell,
pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the
Shares, in any manner whatsoever, whether pursuant to SEC Rule 144 or otherwise,
prior to the date that is two (2) years after the Closing Date; provided
however, that a certain number of Shares shall be released from this restriction
on the following schedule:

               5% of the total initial amount of the Shares shall be released
               each month during the thirteenth (13th) through sixteenth (16th)
               month after the Closing Date;

               8% of the total initial amount of the Shares shall be released
               each month during the seventeenth (17th) through twenty-first
               (21st) month after the Closing Date; and

               10% of the total initial amount of the Shares shall be released
               each month during the twenty-second (22nd) through twenty-third
               (23rd) month after the Closing Date.

The certificates representing the Shares may contain, for so long as this
restriction remains in effect, a legend in substantially the following form:

     THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
     RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER, INCLUDING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND
     THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE THAT THE
     SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD FOR A

<PAGE>

     CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME AFTER THE DATE OF ISSUANCE.

         1.2.4 CONSENT TO DILUTION. Seller understands that Purchaser plans to
acquire other businesses and assets by issuing stock, and that Purchaser may
issue shares of its stock for other reasons in the future. Seller understands
and consents that future issuances of stock will dilute Seller's proportionate
ownership of Purchaser.

         1.2.5 EMPLOYMENT OF OWNERS. As partial consideration for the Shares, at
the Closing the Purchaser shall enter an employment agreement with Jeffery L.
Leavitt, which employment agreement shall be in a form acceptable to the Seller
and the Purchaser.

     1.3 CLOSING. The purchase and sale of the Shares (the "Closing") provided
for in this Agreement will take place at the offices of Venturi at 763 North 530
East, Orem, Utah 84097, at 10:00 a.m. (local time) on September 30, 1999, or
such other place, time and date agreed to by the Parties.

     1.4 CLOSING DELIVERIES.

          1.4.1 SELLER'S DOCUMENTS. At the Closing, Seller will deliver to
     Buyer:

          (a) certificates representing the Shares, duly endorsed (or
          accompanied by duly executed stock powers); and

          (b) employment agreement in the form of Exhibit ___, executed by
          Seller (the "Employment Agreement").

          1.4.2 BUYER'S DOCUMENTS. At the Closing, Buyer will deliver to Seller:

          (a) a certificate representing twenty five thousand (25,000) shares of
          Buyer's $0.001 par value common stock; and

          (b) the Employment Agreement, executed by Buyer.

2.   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

     Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

     2.1 ORGANIZATION AND GOOD STANDING. (a) The Company is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Utah, with full corporate power and authority to conduct its business as it is
now being conducted, to own or use the properties and assets that it purports to
own or use, and to perform all its obligations under applicable contracts. The
Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good
standing under the laws of each state or other jurisdiction in which either the
ownership or use of the properties owned or used by it, or the nature of the
activities conducted by it, requires such qualification.

<PAGE>

     2.2 AUTHORITY. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, and binding
obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms.
Upon the execution and delivery by Seller of this Agreement and the Employment
Agreement (collectively, the "Seller's Closing Documents"), the Seller's Closing
Documents will constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligations of Seller,
enforceable against Seller in accordance with their respective terms. Seller has
the absolute and unrestricted right, power, authority, and capacity to execute
and deliver the Seller's Closing Documents and to perform their obligations
under the Seller's Closing Documents.

     2.3 NO CONFLICT. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor
the consummation or performance of any of the contemplated transactions by
Seller will violate or constitute a default under any mortgage, indenture, deed
of trust, lease, contract, agreement, license or other instrument or any order,
judgement or ruling of any governmental authority to which the Seller is
subject, or to the best knowledge of Seller, any of the property of the Company
is bound, or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge or
encumbrance upon any of the assets of the Company or the loss of any license or
other contractual right with respect thereto, except in each case for any of the
foregoing which is not, individually or in the aggregate, material to the
Company.

     Except as may be set forth in Schedule 2.3, neither the Seller nor the
Company is or will be required to give any notice to or obtain any consent from
any person in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or
the consummation or performance of the transaction contemplated hereby.

     Seller is acquiring the Shares for his own account and not with a view to
their distribution within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act.
Seller is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act") and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder.

     2.4 CAPITALIZATION. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of
50,000 shares of common stock, no par value per share, of which 10,000 shares
are issued and outstanding and constitute the Shares. The Company never issued
stock certificates, and the Shares are consequently not evidenced by
certificates. Seller is and will be on the Closing Date the record and
beneficial owner and holder of all of the Shares, free and clear of all
Encumbrances. No legend or other reference to any purported Encumbrance appears
upon any certificate representing equity securities of the Company. All of the
outstanding equity securities of the Company have been duly authorized and
validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. There are no Contracts
relating to the issuance, sale, or transfer of any equity securities or other
securities of the Company. None of the outstanding equity securities or other
securities of the Company was issued in violation of the Securities Act or any
state law regulating the sale and issuance of securities. The Company does not
own, nor does it have any Contract to acquire, any equity securities or other
securities of any other business or any direct or indirect equity or ownership
interest in any other business.

<PAGE>

     2.5 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Seller have delivered to Buyer unaudited balance
sheets of the Company as of June 30 in each of the years 1996, 1997 and 1998
(the "Balance Sheet"), and the related unaudited statements of income for each
of the fiscal years then ended. Such financial statements and notes fairly
present the financial condition and the results of operations, changes in
stockholders' equity, and cash flow of the Company as at the respective dates of
and for the periods referred to in such financial statements, all in accordance
with GAAP, subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal
recurring year-end adjustments (the effect of which will not, individually or in
the aggregate, be materially adverse) and the absence of notes (that, if
presented, would not differ materially from those included in the balance
sheet); the financial statements referred to in this Section reflect the
consistent application of such accounting principles throughout the periods
involved, except as disclosed in the notes to such financial statements. No
financial statements of any person or entity other than the Company are required
by GAAP to be included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

     2.6 BOOKS AND RECORDS. The books of account, minute books, stock record
books, and other records of the Company, all of which have been made available
to Buyer, are complete and correct and have been maintained in accordance with
sound business practices. The minute books of the Company contain accurate and
complete records of all meetings held of, and corporate action taken by, the
stockholders, the Boards of Directors, and committees of the Boards of Directors
of the Company. At the Closing, all of those books and records will be in the
possession of the Company.

     2.7 TITLE TO PROPERTIES; ENCUMBRANCES. Seller has delivered to Buyer a
complete and accurate list of all real and personal property interests owned by
the Company. The Company owns all the properties and assets that have been
disclosed to Buyer. All material properties disclosed as being owned by the
Company are owned free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except as
previously disclosed in writing to Buyer.

     2.8 CONDITION AND SUFFICIENCY OF ASSETS. To the best of Seller's knowledge,
except as set forth in Schedule 2.8, the Company's property and assets are in
good operating condition and repair, and are adequate for the uses to which they
are being put, and none of such property and assets are in need of maintenance
or repairs except for ordinary, routine maintenance and repairs that are not
material in nature or cost. The property and assets of the Company are
sufficient for the continued conduct of the Company's business after the Closing
in substantially the same manner as conducted prior to the Closing.

     2.9 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. All accounts receivable of the Company that are
reflected in the accounting records of The Company as of the Closing Date
(collectively, the "Accounts Receivable") represent valid obligations arising
from sales actually made or services actually performed in the ordinary course
of business. To the best of Seller's knowledge, unless paid prior to the Closing
Date, the Accounts Receivable are or will be as of the Closing Date current and
collectible. Absent any unforeseen events, each of the Accounts Receivable
historically has been collected in full within ninety days after the day on
which it first becomes

<PAGE>

due and payable. Except as may be set forth on Schedule 2.10 referred to below,
there is not any pending, or to Seller's knowledge threatened, contest or claim
challenging the validity of any of the Accounts Receivable.

     2.10 NO UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES. Except as may be set forth in Schedule
2.10, the Company has no liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether known
or unknown and whether absolute, accrued, contingent, or otherwise) except for
liabilities or obligations reflected or reserved against in the Balance Sheet
and current liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business.

     2.11 TAXES. To the best of Seller's knowledge the Company has filed or
caused to be filed within the past five (5) years all tax returns that are or
were required to be filed by or with respect to the Company, pursuant to
applicable laws and regulations. Seller has delivered or made available to Buyer
copies of all such tax returns filed since 1997. To the best of Seller's
knowledge, all tax returns filed by the Company are true, correct, and complete.

     2.12 NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. To the best of Seller's knowledge, since
the date of the Balance Sheet, there has not been any material adverse change in
the business, operations, properties, prospects, assets, or condition of the
Company, and no event has occurred or circumstance exists that may result in
such a material adverse change.

     2.13 CONTRACTS AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. Except as may be set forth in
Schedule 2.13, the Company is not a party to any contract or agreement that
involves annual payments by the Company in excess of $25,000, other than in the
ordinary course of business. The consummation of the transaction contemplated
herein will not result in the termination of any material agreement or contract
to which the Company is a party, nor give any party thereto the right to cancel
or terminate any such contract or agreement.

     2.14 ERISA. The Company has never offered to its employees any pension,
profit sharing, 401k plan or other employee benefit plan as defined in the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

     2.15 COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. Except as may be set forth on
Schedule 2.15, the Company has not received any notice of any violation of any
laws or regulations that are or were applicable to it or to the conduct or
operation of its business or the ownership or use of any of its assets, which
violation has not been cured as of the Closing Date, and to the best knowledge
of Seller, the Company is in full compliance with all such laws or regulations.

     2.16 GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORIZATIONS. The Company has obtained all governmental
authorizations and permits that are necessary to permit the Company to lawfully
conduct and operate its business in the manner currently conducted.

     2.17 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Except as disclosed in Schedule 2.17, there is no
material lawsuit or legal or administrative or regulatory proceeding or
investigation pending against the Company or, to the best knowledge of Seller,
threatened against the Company.

     2.21 DISCLOSURE. No representation or warranty of Seller in this Agreement
and no statement in the Schedules attached to this Agreement omits to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of
the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. There is no fact
