                             PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

         2.1. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of Symposium, Symposium Sub, WeFusion
or the holders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of
WeFusion (the "Stockholders"):

                  (a) Conversion of Shares.

                           (i) All shares of WeFusion Capital Stock (as defined
                  in Section 3.2 below) other than the Cash-Out Shares (as
                  hereinafter defined) issued and outstanding immediately prior
                  to the Effective Time (the "Exchange Shares") shall be
                  converted into merger consideration (the "Merger
                  Consideration") consisting of: (A) an aggregate of 650,000
                  shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of
                  Symposium (the "Symposium Common Stock") and (B) five
<PAGE>   4
                  year cashless exercise warrants to purchase an aggregate of
                  250,000 shares of Symposium Common Stock at an exercise price
                  of $4.00 per share, which warrants shall be evidenced by
                  warrant certificates conforming in form and substance to
                  Exhibit 2.1(a)(i) (the "Warrants"). The total number of shares
                  of Symposium Common Stock included in the Merger Consideration
                  pursuant to this Section 2.1(a), together with the 110,000

                  (other than the Back Salary Payment, as hereinafter defined)
                  shall be referred to as the "Merger Shares". As used herein,
                  "Merger Consideration" shall include all Merger Shares. The
                  Merger Consideration shall be allocated among the outstanding
                  classes and series of such Exchange Shares in accordance with
                  Exhibit 2.1(a) hereto.

                           (ii) In lieu of receiving Merger Shares and Warrants
                  as described in paragraph (i) above, those certain shares of
                  WeFusion Common Stock (the "Cash-Out Shares") held by each
                  holder (each a "Cash-Out Stockholder" and collectively the
                  "Cash-Out Stockholders") of WeFusion Common Stock who is not
                  (x) an "Accredited Investor" (as such term is defined in Rule
                  501 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
                  (the "Securities Act")) or (y) an executive officer of
                  WeFusion on the Closing Date who has appointed either Steve
                  Walker or Terry Peck to act as his Purchaser Representative
                  (as such term is defined under Rule 501 promulgated under the
                  Securities Act) shall be canceled by virtue of the Merger at
                  the Effective Time and without any further action on the part
                  of any holder thereof, and converted into cash in the amount
                  of $0.05 per share of WeFusion Common Stock (the "Per Share
                  Common Stock Cash Amount"). Payment of the aggregate Per Share
                  Common Stock Cash Amount payable to the Cash-Out Stockholders
                  shall be delivered to the Shareholder Representative for
                  distribution to such Cash-Out Stockholders and shall be made
                  by Symposium check upon the later of: (A) the Closing Date or
                  (B) the delivery to Symposium of both a fully-executed
                  cross-receipt from the Stockholder Representative in a form
                  reasonably acceptable to Symposium and the certificates
                  representing such Cash-Out Shares, together with duly executed
                  stock powers or letter of transmittal.

                           (iii) The options granted to certain employees of
                  WeFusion to purchase shares of WeFusion Common Stock listed on
                  Schedule 2.1(b)(iii) (the "Cash-Out Options") shall be
                  canceled by virtue of the Merger at the Effective Time and
                  without any further action on the part of any holder thereof,
                  and converted into cash in the amount of $0.01 per share of
                  WeFusion Common Stock (the "Per Share Option Cash Amount").
                  Payment of the aggregate Per Share Option Cash Amount shall be
                  delivered to the Shareholder Representative for distribution
                  to the holders of the Cash-Out Options and shall be made by
                  Symposium check upon the later of: (A) the Closing Date or (B)
                  the delivery to Symposium of a fully-executed cross-receipt
                  from the Stockholder Representative and a release, each in a
                  form reasonably acceptable to Symposium.
<PAGE>   5
                  (b) Cancellation. Each share of WeFusion Capital Stock held in
the treasury of WeFusion immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to
be outstanding, be canceled and retired without payment of any consideration
therefor and cease to exist.

         2.2. Adjustments to The Merger Consideration.

         If prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Symposium
Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a
different class by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock
split, combination or readjustment, or a stock dividend thereon shall have been
declared with a record date within such period (each, an "Adjustment Event"),
the number and kind of shares of Symposium Common Stock to be issued and
delivered as provided in this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted for each
Adjustment Event.

         2.3. Tax Treatment. The parties intend to adopt this Agreement and the
Merger as a plan of reorganization under Section 368(a)(1) of the Code.

         2.4. Appraisal Rights. The Stockholders are entitled to appraisal
rights under the laws of the State of Delaware. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
either by execution and delivery of this Agreement or by execution and delivery
of the unanimous written consent of the stockholders of WeFusion to this
Agreement and the Merger and transactions contemplated hereby, each Stockholder
shall be deemed to have consented to the Merger and effectively waived his or
her rights of appraisal and is therefore not entitled to appraisal under the
laws of the State of Delaware.

         2.5. Exchange of Certificates.

                  (a) Surrender. Subject to the Escrow Agreement (as defined in
Section 2.8 herein) and to the escrow deposit required by Section 2.8, at the
Closing, the Principal Stockholders shall surrender to Symposium, in accordance
with this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger, certificates representing all
of the Exchange Shares, together with duly executed stock powers or letters of
transmittal, and Symposium shall deliver to the Principal Stockholders or the
Escrow Agent (as defined in Section 2.7 herein) as the case may be, the
certificates representing the Merger Shares and Warrants into which such
Exchange Shares are converted pursuant to the Merger.

                  (b) No Further Ownership Rights in WeFusion Capital Stock. The
Merger Shares and Warrants issuable upon the surrender of the Exchange Shares in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the
Certificate of Merger shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction
of all rights pertaining to such Exchange Shares. The payment of the Per Share
Common Stock Cash Amount in exchange for the Cash-Out Shares shall be deemed to
have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Cash-Out
Shares. The payment of the Per Share Option Cash Amount in exchange for the
Cash-Out Options shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all
rights pertaining to such Cash-Out Options. After the Effective Time, the stock
transfer books of the Surviving Corporation shall not further list registration
of transfers of the shares of WeFusion Capital Stock which were outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time,
certificates representing shares of WeFusion Capital Stock are presented to the
Surviving
<PAGE>   6
Corporation for any reason, such shares shall be cancelled pursuant to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger.

         2.6. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any
certificates representing shares of WeFusion Capital Stock are lost, stolen or
destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof in
a form reasonably acceptable to Symposium, Symposium shall either: (i) in
exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates representing Exchange
Shares, issue such Merger Shares as may be required pursuant to Section 2.5, or
(ii) in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates representing
Cash-Out Shares, pay such Per Share Common Stock Cash Amount as may be required
pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii); provided, however, that Symposium may, in its
discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance or payment thereof,
require the owner of lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in
such sum as it may reasonably direct as an indemnity against any claim that may
be made against Symposium with respect to the certificates alleged to have been
lost, stolen or destroyed.

         2.7. Escrow Agreement. At the Effective Time, Symposium shall deposit
50% of the Merger Shares into escrow to be held and disbursed in accordance with
the Escrow Agreement among Symposium, the Stockholder Representatives (as
defined below) and United States Trust Company of New York, as escrow agent (the
"Escrow Agent"), conforming in form and substance to Exhibit 2.8 hereto (the
"Escrow Agreement"). Each Principal Stockholder (i) hereby appoints T. Jamie
Newell (the "Stockholder Representative") and any successor appointed in
accordance with Section 7 of the Escrow Agreement as agent and attorney-in-fact,
to serve as Stockholder Representative under the Escrow Agreement and to take
all action pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and (ii) agrees to indemnify the
Stockholder Representative for all costs and expenses incurred by such
Stockholder Representative in fulfilling his or her obligations under the Escrow
Agreement. All decisions of the Stockholder Representative under the Escrow
Agreement shall be binding upon the Principal Stockholders and notices to or
from the Stockholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of
the Principal Stockholders under the Escrow Agreement. At the Effective Time,
certificates representing the Warrants and the remaining 50% of the Merger
Shares that are not delivered to the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 2.7,
addressed to the Principal Stockholders, shall be distributed to the Principal
Stockholders by Symposium.

         3.3. Authority.

                  (a) Authorization, Execution and Delivery. WeFusion has all
requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to perform its
obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the Merger and the other
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the
other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each of the Cash-Out
Stockholders has the capacity and authority to enter into each of the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations
thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder and

Knowledge of WeFusion, the Principal Stockholders, and the consummation by
WeFusion of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part
of WeFusion. The Transaction Documents to which each is a party have been duly
executed and delivered by WeFusion, each of the Cash-Out Stockholders and, to
the Best Knowledge of WeFusion, each of the Principal Stockholders and are the
valid and binding obligations of WeFusion, each of the Cash-Out Stockholders
and, to the Best Knowledge of WeFusion, each of the Principal Stockholders,
enforceable against each in accordance with their terms, except as such
enforceability may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other similar laws affecting or relating to enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and (ii) general equitable principles.

                  (b) No Conflict. Neither the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor compliance
with the provisions hereof or thereof will conflict with, or result in any
violations of, or cause a default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or
both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, amendment, cancellation or
acceleration of any obligation contained in, or the loss of any material benefit
under, or result in the creation of any lien, security interest, charge or
encumbrance upon any of the properties or
<PAGE>   9
assets of WeFusion, any Cash-Out Stockholder or, to the Best Knowledge of
WeFusion, any Principal Stockholders under any term, condition or provision of

credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other material
agreement to which WeFusion, any Cash-Out Stockholder or, to the Best Knowledge
of WeFusion, any Principal Stockholder is a party, or (iii) any judgment, order,
decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to WeFusion or
any of the Stockholders or any such Stockholder's respective properties or
assets.

                  (c) Governmental Consents. No consent, approval, order or
authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any court,
administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or
instrumentality, domestic or foreign (each a "Governmental Entity"), is required
to be obtained by WeFusion, any Cash-Out Stockholder or, to the Best Knowledge
of WeFusion, any Principal Stockholder in connection with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except for: (i) the filing of
the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
and the filing of appropriate documents with the relevant authorities of other
states in which WeFusion is qualified to do business; (ii) such filings,
authorizations, orders and approvals as may be required under federal and state
securities laws; and (iii) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals
and the like, would not prevent or delay the consummation of the Merger or
otherwise prevent WeFusion, any Cash-Out Stockholder or, to the Best Knowledge
of WeFusion, any Principal Stockholder from performing its or such Stockholder's
obligations under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents and would
not have a Material Adverse Effect on WeFusion.

         3.4. Financial Statements; Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. (a)
WeFusion has heretofore delivered to Symposium complete and correct copies of
the following financial statements (the "WeFusion Financial Statements"), all of
which have been prepared from the books and records of the WeFusion in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") consistently
applied and maintained throughout the periods indicated (except as may be
indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition of WeFusion as of the respective dates thereof and the
results of its operations and cash flows for the periods covered thereby, except
that unaudited interim results that were or are subject to normal and recurring
year-end adjustments which were not or are not expected to be material in
amount:

                  (i) unaudited consolidated balance sheets at December 31,
         1997, 1998 and 1999 and unaudited consolidated statements of income,
         cash flows and stockholders' equity of WeFusion for the fiscal years
         then ended (the "WeFusion Balance Sheet"); and

                  (ii) unaudited consolidated balance sheet (the "WeFusion
         Interim Balance Sheet") of WeFusion as of August 31, 2000 (the
         "WeFusion Interim Balance Sheet Date") and consolidated statements of
         income and cash flows for the six months then ended.

Such statements of income do not contain any items of special or nonrecurring
revenue or income or any revenue or income not earned in the ordinary course of
business, except as expressly specified therein.
<PAGE>   10
                  (b) Except as and to the extent reflected or reserved against
on the WeFusion Interim Balance Sheet, WeFusion does not have, as of the
WeFusion Interim Balance Sheet Date, any liabilities, debts or obligations
(whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) of any nature that would be
required as of such date to have been included on a balance sheet prepared in
accordance with GAAP. Since the WeFusion Interim Balance Sheet Date, WeFusion
has not incurred or suffered to exist any liability, debt or obligation (whether
absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise), except liabilities, debt and
obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past
practice, none of which will have a Material Adverse Effect upon WeFusion or the
Surviving Corporation. Since the WeFusion Interim Balance Sheet Date, no event
has occurred which has caused, or which is reasonably likely to cause, a
Material Adverse Effect on the business, operations, assets (including
intangible assets), condition (financial or otherwise), liabilities or results
of operations of WeFusion.

                  (c) All receivables of WeFusion (including accounts
receivable, loans receivable and advances) which are reflected in the WeFusion
Interim Balance Sheet, and all such receivables which have arisen thereafter and
prior to the Effective Time, have arisen or will have arisen only from bona fide
transactions in the ordinary course of business, represent valid obligations to
WeFusion and have been collected or shall be fully collectible at the aggregate
recorded amounts thereof (except to the extent of appropriate reserves therefor
established in accordance with prior practice and GAAP) and are not and will not
be subject to defense, counterclaim or offset. There has been no Material
Adverse Change since the WeFusion Interim Balance Sheet Date in the amounts of
accounts and notes receivable or the allowances with respect thereto, or
accounts payable of WeFusion, from that reflected on the WeFusion Balance Sheet
at such date.

                  (d) WeFusion has delivered to Symposium or its counsel correct
and complete copies of all correspondence prepared by WeFusion's auditors in
connection with the last audit of WeFusion's financial statements and any such
correspondence since the date of the last such audit.

                  (e) As of the Effective Time, no Stockholder will have any
claim (whether or not actually asserted) against WeFusion with respect to any
matter or occurrence or state of affairs arising at or prior to the Effective
Time which has not been effectively waived or released.

         3.5. Certain Other Financial Representations. Since the WeFusion
Interim Balance Sheet Date, WeFusion's accounts payable have been accrued and,
except as set forth in the WeFusion Disclosure Schedule, paid in a manner
consistent with WeFusion's prior practice and at no point in time since
September 1, 2000, have WeFusion's aggregate past due accounts payable been more
than $25,000.

         3.6. Compliance with Applicable Laws. Except as disclosed in the
WeFusion Disclosure Schedule, WeFusion does not conduct its business in
violation of any law, ordinance, regulation, rule or order of any Governmental
Entity. Except as disclosed in the WeFusion Disclosure Schedule, there is
currently no pending investigation or review by a Governmental Entity with
respect to WeFusion nor has any Governmental Entity notified WeFusion or any of
the Stockholders or, to the Best Knowledge of WeFusion, any of the Principal
Stockholders of its intention to conduct the same. WeFusion has all permits,
licenses, approvals, orders, and franchises from Governmental Entities
("Permits") required to conduct its business as now being
<PAGE>   11
conducted, except where the failure to obtain such Permits would not have a
Material Adverse Effect on WeFusion. All of WeFusion's Permits are in full force
and effect and no violations thereunder have been recorded.

         3.7. Litigation. Except as disclosed in the WeFusion Disclosure
Schedule, there is no suit, action, arbitration, demand, claim, dispute,
investigation or proceeding pending or Threatened, against WeFusion or any
Cash-Out Stockholder or, to the Best Knowledge of WeFusion, any Principal
Stockholder, nor is there any judgment, decree, injunction, rule or order of any
Governmental Entity or arbitrator outstanding against WeFusion or any Cash-Out
Stockholder or, to the Best Knowledge of WeFusion, any Principal Stockholder
that, (i) individually or in the aggregate, could have a Material Adverse Effect
on WeFusion or (ii) could have an adverse effect on the ability of WeFusion or
any of the Stockholders to perform its or such Stockholder's respective
obligations under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents to which it
is a party or any documents contemplated hereby or thereby. No injunction, writ,
temporary restraining order, decree or order of any nature has been issued by
any court or other Governmental Entity against WeFusion or any Cash-Out
Stockholder or, to the Best Knowledge of WeFusion, any Principal Stockholder
purporting to enjoin or restrain the execution, delivery or performance of any
of the documents contemplated hereby. As used herein, "Threatened" shall refer
to any oral or written threat communicated or delivered to WeFusion or the
Stockholders, as the case may be.

         3.8. Title to Properties. WeFusion does not own any real property. The
WeFusion Disclosure Schedule sets forth a correct and complete list of real
property leased by WeFusion. WeFusion holds interest as lessee under leases in
full force and effect in all real property used in connection with its business
or otherwise leased by WeFusion, except for such defects in title as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on WeFusion, or
a material adverse effect on the ability of WeFusion or any of the Stockholders
to perform its or such Stockholder's obligations under the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger, the Transaction Documents or any
of the documents or agreements contemplated hereby or thereby.

         3.9. Subsidiaries. WeFusion has no subsidiaries. Except as disclosed in
the WeFusion Disclosure Schedule, WeFusion does not directly or indirectly own
nor has it made any investment in any of the capital stock of, or assumed any
other proprietary interest in, any other Person. "Person" shall mean any
individual, firm, corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or
unincorporated association, joint venture, joint stock company, Governmental
Authority or other entity of any kind, and shall include any successor (by
merger or otherwise) of such entity.

         3.10. Employee Benefit Plans and Employment Matters.

         WeFusion has delivered to Symposium or its counsel prior to the date

Section 4975 of the Code, respectively) has at any time engaged in a transaction
which could subject Symposium or WeFusion, directly or indirectly, to a tax,
penalty or liability for prohibited transactions imposed by ERISA or the Code
that would have a Material Adverse Effect on WeFusion, and no fiduciary (as
defined in Section 3(21) of ERISA) has breached any of the responsibilities or
obligations imposed upon fiduciaries under Title I of ERISA that would have a
Material Adverse Effect on WeFusion.

                  (d) Each Employee Benefit Plan is and has been operated in
compliance with its terms and all applicable laws, and by its terms can be
amended and/or terminated at any time. As of the Closing Date, WeFusion shall
have made all required contributions under each Employee Benefit Plan for all
periods through and including the Closing Date or adequate accruals therefor
will have been provided for and will be reflected on the WeFusion Balance Sheet.

                  (e) No Employee Benefit Plan which is subject to Section 302
of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code has incurred an "accumulated funding
deficiency" as defined in either of such Sections, whether or not waived.

                  (f) Each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify
under Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code has received a favorable
determination letter from the IRS with respect to its qualification covering all
amendments required to have been adopted through the last day of the 1995 plan
year, and its related trust has been determined to be exempt from taxation under
Section 501(a) of the Code.
<PAGE>   13
                  (g) Except as listed on the WeFusion Disclosure Schedule,
neither WeFusion nor any Stockholder has received or is aware of any actions,
claims (other than routine claims for benefits), lawsuits or arbitration
proceedings pending or Threatened with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or
against any fiduciary of any Employee Benefit Plan, and neither WeFusion nor any
Stockholder has knowledge of any facts that could give rise to any such actions,
claims, lawsuits or arbitrations. There has not occurred any circumstances by
reason of which WeFusion may be liable for an act, or a failure to act, by a
fiduciary with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan that would have a Material
Adverse Effect on WeFusion.

                  (h) No Employee Benefit Plan provides for medical or health
benefits (through insurance or otherwise) or provided for the continuation of
such benefits or coverage for any participant or any dependent or beneficiary of
any participant after such participant's retirement or other termination of
employment except as may be required by Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA
and Section 4980B of the Code ("COBRA").

                  (i) Neither WeFusion nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever
contributed to, or withdrawn in a partial or complete withdrawal (within the
meaning of Sections 4205 or 4203 of ERISA, respectively) from, any
"multiemployer plan" (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA) or has any fixed or
contingent liability under Section 4204 of ERISA.

                  (j) No Employee Benefit Plan is a "multiple employer plan" as
described in Section 3(40) of ERISA or Section 413(c) of the Code.

                  (k) No Employee Benefit Plan, other than a "pension plan"
within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA, is funded through a trust intended
to be exempt from tax pursuant to Section 501 of the Code.

                  (l) Neither WeFusion nor any Cash-Out Stockholder nor, to the
Best Knowledge of WeFusion, any Principal Stockholder has proposed or has agreed
to any increase in benefits under any Employee Benefit Plan (or the creation of
new benefits) or change in employee coverage which would increase the expense of
maintaining any such plan.

                  (m) Each Employee Benefit Plan may by its terms be amended
and/or terminated at any time with regard to any current or former officer,
employee or consultant or to any dependent or beneficiary thereof.

                  (n) The WeFusion Disclosure Schedule lists all employees of
WeFusion, their salaries and amount of their most recent salary increases as of

contractor agreement with WeFusion. No "leased employee" (within the meaning of
Section 414(n) or (o) of the Code) performs any material services for WeFusion.

WeFusion, (ii) any increase in the amount of compensation or benefits payable in
respect of any director, officer, employee or consultant of WeFusion, or (iii)

triggered by or increased as a result of, a change in the ownership or effective
control of WeFusion.

                  (o) WeFusion is in compliance in all material respects with

qualified to do business; (ii) such filings, authorizations, orders and
approvals as may be required under foreign laws and federal and state securities
laws; and (iii) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals and the
like, would not prevent or delay the consummation of the Merger or otherwise
prevent Symposium or Symposium Sub from performing its obligations under this
Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and would
not have a Material Adverse Effect on Symposium Sub or on Symposium and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Symposium or Symposium Sub,

obligations hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a
party and any other documents contemplated hereby or thereby. No injunction,
writ, temporary restraining order, decree or order of any nature has been issued
by any court or other Governmental Entity against Symposium or Symposium Sub

other documents contemplated hereby or thereby.

         5.5. SEC Filings; Financial Statements. Symposium has filed all
Symposium SEC Reports required to be filed with the SEC from January 1, 2000
through the date of this Agreement. The Symposium SEC Reports (i) were prepared
in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of the Securities
Act, or the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as the case
may be, and (ii) did not at the time they were filed (or if amended or
superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, then on the date of
such filing) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. Each of the consolidated financial statements (including,
in each case, any related notes thereto) contained in the Symposium SEC Reports
has been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis
throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto
or in the Symposium SEC Reports), and each fairly presents in all material
respects the consolidated financial position of Symposium and its subsidiaries
as at the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of its
operations and cash flows for the periods indicated, except that the unaudited
interim financial statements were or are subject to normal and recurring
year-end adjustments which were not or are not expected to be material in
amount.

         Except as set forth in the Symposium Disclosure Schedule (and any
supplements thereto), since the date of the financial statements contained in
the most recent Symposium SEC Report there has been no event or occurrence
relating to Symposium or any of its subsidiaries which, in the reasonable
judgment of Symposium, will be required to be disclosed in a Symposium SEC
Report or which would have a Material Adverse Effect on Symposium and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole and which has not been disclosed to WeFusion
either in the Symposium Disclosure Schedule (including supplements thereto) or
in a Symposium SEC Report.

         5.6. Fees and Expenses. Neither Symposium nor Symposium Sub has paid or
become obligated to pay any fee or commission to any broker, finder,
intermediary or financial adviser (including any Stockholder) in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         5.7. Issuance of Securities. Assuming the accuracy of the information
set forth in the Stockholders' Questionnaires, the issuance of the Merger Shares
in accordance herewith are, and (assuming no change in currently applicable law)
the issuance of the Symposium Common Stock upon the conversion of the Warrants
will be, exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and the
qualification requirements of applicable state securities laws.

         5.8. Disclosure. No representation or warranty made by Symposium or
Symposium Sub in this Agreement, nor any document, written information,
statement, financial statement, certificate or exhibit prepared and furnished or
to be prepared and furnished by Symposium or
<PAGE>   29
Symposium Sub or its representatives pursuant hereto or in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby, when taken together, contains any untrue
statement of a material fact, or omits to state a material fact necessary to
make the statements or facts contained herein or therein not misleading in light
of the circumstances under which they were furnished.

the Principal Stockholders set forth in the Stockholder's Questionnaires, shall
survive the date of the Closing until the six-month anniversary of the Closing

survival period of the representation or warranty pursuant to which the claim is
made or right of recovery is sought, setting forth in reasonable detail the

for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, or breach of any
covenant or agreement, by the other party or parties shall be the indemnities
contained in this Article 11, which shall survive the Closing.

         11.2. Indemnification by the Principal Stockholders. Subject to Section
11.3 hereof, the Principal Stockholders jointly and severally agree to indemnify
Symposium, Symposium Sub and their respective, officers, directors,
stockholders, employees, affiliates, attorneys, accountants and agents (the

liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable expenses of
investigation and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses in connection with any
action, suit or proceeding brought against the Symposium Parties (collectively

agreement of WeFusion or any of the Principal Stockholders set forth in this
Agreement or the Stockholder's Questionnaire, as the case may be; (ii) any
liabilities of WeFusion not reflected on the WeFusion Interim Balance Sheet,

Disclosure Schedule). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Principal Stockholders
shall have no liability under this Section 11.2 in respect of: (A) breaches of

Parties arising out of one or more such breaches exceeds $35,000 in the
aggregate, in which case the Stockholders shall be liable for all amounts in
excess of $35,000.

         11.3. Satisfaction of Indemnity Claims Against the Principal
Stockholders .

                  (a) All claims by the Symposium Parties for indemnification
pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof (the "Symposium Party Indemnity Claims") shall
be satisfied first from the portion of the Merger Consideration deposited into
escrow (the "Escrow Proceeds") in accordance with the terms and provisions of
the Escrow Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Proceeds
may be insufficient fully to satisfy all Symposium Party
<PAGE>   36
Indemnity Claims and/or that Symposium Party Indemnity Claims may arise
subsequent to the termination of the Escrow (all such Symposium Party Indemnity
Claims being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excess Indemnity
Claims"). Any Excess Indemnity Claims shall be asserted by written notice (the
"Claim Notice") to the Stockholder Representative (except that the Stockholder
Representative shall be deemed to have received a Claim Notice with respect to
any such claim that was previously asserted pursuant to the Escrow Agreement).
If a Claim Notice relates to an Excess Indemnity Claim that was not previously
asserted pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Stockholder Representative shall
have a period of thirty (30) days from the date of such Claim Notice within
which to satisfy or dispute such Excess Indemnity Claim. If the Stockholder
Representative fails timely to satisfy or dispute any such Excess Indemnity
Claim, the amount of such claim, as set forth in the Claim Notice, shall be
deemed to be acknowledged as payable by the Stockholder Representative, which
acknowledgment shall be binding on all of the Principal Stockholders, and
payment therefor shall be due not later than last day of such thirty (30) day
period. If such Excess Indemnity Claim is disputed, payment of such Claim (or
any portion thereof deemed to be due in accordance with the resolution of such
dispute) shall be due not later than ten (10) days following such resolution. If
an Excess Indemnity Claim was previously asserted pursuant to the Escrow
Agreement, the parties shall be bound by the disposition of such Claim,
including the resolution of any dispute with respect thereto, pursuant to the
Escrow Agreement and payment of such Claim shall be made within thirty (30) days
following the termination of the Escrow Agreement. Excess Indemnity Claims shall
be satisfied first by T. Jamie Newell up to the maximum amount of his liability
as set forth in paragraph (b) below; provided that if any amount of any such
Excess Indemnity Claim remains unsatisfied after a period of ten (10) days or is
in excess of the maximum amount of T. Jamie Newell's liability, then the
Principal Stockholders other than T. Jamie Newell shall be severally liable for
the unpaid portion of such Excess Indemnity Claim up to the respective ratable
values of the aggregate Merger Consideration received by each of them. Excess
Indemnity Claims may be satisfied, in the sole discretion of each Principal
Shareholder making any payment under this Section 11.3(a), either by the payment
of cash or such amount of Merger Consideration (valued in accordance with
Section 11.3(b)) as is equivalent to the cash value of such Excess Indemnity
Claim or any combination thereof.

                  (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to
the contrary, the maximum liability of each Principal Stockholder (other than T.
Jamie Newell) in respect of Symposium Party Indemnity Claims shall be limited to
an amount equal to the aggregate value of the Merger Consideration received by
such Principal Stockholder in connection with the Merger, determined in
accordance with this Section 11.3 and T. Jamie Newell's maximum liability in
respect of Symposium Party Indemnity Claims shall be limited to an amount equal
to the sum of the aggregate value of the Merger Consideration received by T.
Jamie Newell and deposited into escrow and 50% of the Excess Merger
Consideration (as defined below). For purposes of this Section 11.3, (i) Merger
Consideration consisting of Symposium Common Stock shall be valued at the
Average Closing Sales Price and (ii) Merger Consideration consisting of Warrants
shall be valued at an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x)
the maximum number of shares of Symposium Common Stock purchasable upon exercise
of a Warrant at the Closing Date by (y) $0.25. As used herein, "Total Merger
Consideration" means the aggregate value, determined in accordance with this

                  11.4. Tax Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the
         contrary contained in this Agreement:

                  (a) The Principal Stockholders, jointly and severally, will be
liable for and indemnify the Symposium Parties against all Taxes payable by
WeFusion (including those payable by any Symposium Party as successor or
transferee and including any Taxes listed on the WeFusion Disclosure Schedule)
with respect to: (i) the Back Salary Payment and payments made pursuant to
Section 8.12 in connection therewith; and (ii) Pre-Closing Periods, including
Taxes for a period not ending prior to the Closing Date that are attributable to
the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date (which portion shall be
equal to (x) with respect to income or franchise Taxes, the amount of such Taxes
that would have been incurred had the taxable period ended on the Closing Date
and (y) with respect to other Taxes the amount that would be apportioned to the
period ending on the Closing Date on a per diem basis) and including, without
limitation, any Taxes payable by WeFusion with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents; provided, however
that claims made with respect to the FICA and other similar Taxes listed on
Section 3.16(c) of the WeFusion Disclosure Schedule remain subject to the last
sentence of Section 11.2 hereof.

                  (b) The Symposium Parties shall notify the Principal
Stockholders promptly upon receipt by any of the Symposium Parties, of notice of
any pending Tax audits or assessments that could reasonably be expected to
result in a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.4(a) ("Tax Claim").
The Symposium Parties may represent its interest in any proceeding relating to a
Tax Claim, on condition that (i) it keep the Principal Stockholders informed on
a current basis of the status of any such proceeding; (ii) the Principal
Stockholders shall have the right to participate at their own expense, in any
such proceedings; and (iii) the Symposium Parties not settle any claim for taxes
that could have a material adverse effect on the Principal Stockholder's
liability for Taxes (including any claim for indemnification) without the prior
written consent of the Principal Stockholders, which consent may not be
unreasonably withheld.

                  (c) The Principal Stockholders shall satisfy any Tax Claim on
or prior to the due date for payment of such claim. The Symposium Parties shall
notify the Principal Stockholders at least 10 days prior to the due date for any
such Tax Claim.

                  (d) In the event that the Principal Stockholders are required
to make a payment pursuant to this Section 11.4 as the result of a determination
by a taxing authority which results in any of the Symposium Parties receiving an
increased tax basis in the WeFusion assets ("Stepup Transaction", and the amount
of such increased tax basis being referred to as the "Increased Basis"), then
the Symposium Parties shall make a payment to the Principal Stockholders equal
to the Tax Benefit actually received as a result of such Stepup Transaction as
described below; provided, however, that such payments, in the aggregate, shall
not exceed the amount of any Taxes, taking into account any available
Pre-Closing Period losses of WeFusion (but excluding for this purpose any
penalties, additions to tax or interest) paid by the Principal Stockholders with
respect to the Stepup Transaction. The Tax Benefit shall be equal to the product
of (x) the amount of any tax deduction directly arising from the Increased Basis
("Increased Basis Tax Deduction") which actually reduces the taxable income of
Symposium (but not below zero) and is deemed to have been "Used" by Symposium;
and (y) Symposium's actual effective tax rate for the period in which the
Increased Basis Tax Deduction was Used. No Increased Basis Tax Deduction shall
be deemed to have been "Used" prior to the time that
<PAGE>   38
Symposium has fully utilized its Adjusted Losses. Adjusted Losses shall be equal
to the net operating losses of the Symposium Parties which existed as of
December 31, 1999 less any Increased Basis Tax Deductions which reduced the
taxable income of the Symposium Parties (but not below zero) but for which no
payment was made hereunder. After the Symposium Parties have fully utilized
their Adjusted Losses, they shall be deemed to use the Increased Tax Deductions
(including Increased Basis Tax Deductions from prior years to the extent no
payment was previously made with respect to such deductions hereunder) prior to
the use of any other losses. Payment shall be made to the Principal Stockholders
within 10 days following the filing of any income tax return resulting in a Tax
Benefit.

                  (e) The tax indemnification provided for in this Section 11.4:
(i) shall survive until the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation;
(ii) shall not be subject to the last sentence of Section 11.2; and (iii) shall
not be subject to Section 11.3(b).

         11.5. Indemnification by Symposium. Symposium agrees to indemnify the
Stockholders against, and to hold the Stockholders harmless from, any and all
damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses
in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought against the
Stockholders) incurred or suffered by the Stockholders after the Closing arising
out of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of
Symposium or Symposium Sub set forth in this Agreement.

         11.6. Procedure for Claims Involving Litigation or Other Proceedings. A
party seeking indemnification under this Article 11 (an "Indemnified Party")
shall give prompt notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the
"Indemnifying Party") of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any
action, suit or proceeding, in respect of which indemnity may be sought
hereunder and will give the Indemnifying Party such information with respect
thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, but no failure to give
such notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder
(except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has suffered actual prejudice
thereby). The Indemnifying Party may, at its expense, participate in or assume
the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the
Indemnifying Party's election to appoint counsel to represent the Indemnified
Party in an action, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel (including local counsel), and, subject to the final sentence
of Section 11.2 and to Section 11.3(b) the Indemnifying Party shall bear the
reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of
counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party
would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the Indemnifying
Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice
of the institution of such action or (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall
authorize the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or
prosecute any claim involving a third party, all the parties shall cooperate in
the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information
and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings,
trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. The
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under this Section 11.6 for any
settlement, effected without the Indemnifying Party's consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, of any claim, suit or proceeding in respect
of which indemnity may be sought hereunder. An Indemnifying Party will not,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
<PAGE>   39
Party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect
to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of
which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not
the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim or action)
unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release
of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action,
suit or proceeding. No settlement which involves injunctive relief or affects
the Indemnified Party shall be settled by the Indemnifying Party without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

                                  ARTICLE XII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         12.1. Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the
State of New York without regard to its conflict of law provisions, and shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs and
personal representatives of the parties hereto. All actions and proceedings
relating directly or indirectly to this Agreement shall be settled by final
binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator or
arbitrators may be entered in any state or federal court located in New York,
New York. Any such arbitration shall be conducted in the City of New York or
such other place as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties to such
arbitration. Within fifteen (15) days after the commencement of the arbitration,
Symposium and Symposium Sub, on the one hand, and the Stockholders
Representative, acting on behalf of any and all Stockholders who are parties to
such arbitration, on the other hand, shall select one person to act as
arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator
within 10 days of their appointment. Each of Symposium and Symposium Sub on the
one hand, and the Principal Stockholders who are parties to such arbitration (in
such proportions as they shall determine among themselves) on the other hand,
shall bear their own costs and expenses and an equal share of the arbitrators'
expenses and administrative fees of arbitration, unless the judgment rendered by
the arbitrator or arbitrators allocates the costs, expenses and administrative
fees between the parties in a different manner. The parties hereto expressly
consent to the jurisdiction of any such court and to venue therein.

         12.2. Assignment; Binding Upon Successors and Assigns. No party hereto
may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the other parties hereto. This Agreement will be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors,
heirs, legatees, distributee and permitted assigns.

         12.3. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof, will for any reason and to any extent be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and application of such provision
to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect
the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void
or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable
provision that will achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the economic,
business and other purposes of the void or unenforceable provision.

         12.4. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which will be an original as regards any party whose
signature appears thereon and all of
<PAGE>   40
which together will constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement will
become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken
together, will bear the signatures of all the parties reflected hereon as
signatories.

         12.5. Other Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all
remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with
and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by law on such party,
and the exercise of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other.

         12.6. Amendment and Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement
may be amended, and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived
(either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively) only by a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. The
waiver by a party of any breach hereof or default in the performance hereof will
not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other default or any succeeding
breach or default. The Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any
time before or after its approval by the stockholders of WeFusion or Symposium
as the stockholder of Symposium Sub, but, after such approval, no amendment will
be made which by applicable law requires the further approval of the stockholder
of WeFusion or Symposium as the stockholder of Symposium Sub without obtaining
such further approval.

         12.7. Expenses. Symposium will bear its respective expenses and legal
fees incurred with respect to this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated
hereby. WeFusion will bear its respective expenses and legal fees up to $15,000
in the aggregate (the "WeFusion Cap") incurred with respect to this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Stockholders will bear their
respective expenses and legal fees and all legal fees and expenses of WeFusion
in excess of the WeFusion Cap.

         12.8. Notices. All notices and other communications pursuant to this
Agreement shall be in writing and deemed to be sufficient if contained in a
written instrument and shall be deemed given if delivered personally,

               termination date, to make any and all arrangements necessary or
               desirable in its discretion to provide for personnel and
               facilities for the performance of the services performed under
               this Agreement by the Manager, and the Manager will cooperate
               with the Company toward the end that there will be an orderly
               transfer of management service functions in respect of the
               Company's business from the Manager to the Company or its
               designee.

         11. Damages for Breach. No provision of this Agreement shall preclude
either party from recovering damages, if any, sustained by reason of any conduct
in breach of the terms hereof.

         12. Regulatory Compliance. The Manager agrees and acknowledges that it
shall cooperate in all respects with the relationship between the Company and
the various governmental agencies having jurisdiction over it and its activities
and agrees to make available to such agencies during normal business hours and
upon reasonable request any and all records maintained by it for the Company
under this Agreement.

         13. Arbitration.

          (a)  In the event any dispute or difference of opinion arises under or
               with respect to this Agreement, the controversy shall be
               submitted to arbitration. Each party shall select one arbitrator,
               and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third
               arbitrator before the entry into arbitration. Each of the
               arbitrators shall be persons having no less than five (5) years'
               experience in executive position with casualty insurance
               companies transacting substantial business.

          (b)  The arbitrators may use their discretion in conducting the
               arbitration proceedings and are relieved of all judicial
               formalities except that they shall allow the parties an
               opportunity to be heard after reasonable notice before reaching
               any decision.

          (c)  Each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitrator and shall
               jointly and equally bear with the other the expense of the third
               arbitrator and of the arbitration. Any such arbitration shall
               take place in the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul area at a mutually
               acceptable location.
