         1.       In consideration of the commitments of Norpak herein, the
                  parties agree that, upon the request of Norpak, all assets

                  exchange for the TSC shares and Veridien Corporation (VRDE)
                  options referred to herein. Sunswipe will receive the
                  following consideration on the completion of the sale (i) 50%

                  term on the option of 25 months from the date of execution of
                  this agreement (the "Options"). The vesting of the Options is

<PAGE>   2

                  4.       350,000 options vested upon reaching $400,000 net
                           income in year 2000 or $500,000 in year 2000 and
                           year 2001 combined; and,

                  5.       At time of vesting, Mendy Fellig must be employed or
                           providing his services on a full time basis to
                           either of TSC, Sunswipe and in any event to such
                           entity directed by Norpak.

                  All remaining shares of TSC would be held by Norpak or dealt
                  with as directed by Norpak.

                  In the event the assets of Sunswipe are not sold to TSC as
                  set out above, Norpak would have an option to acquire 50% of
                  the stock of Sunswipe in consideration of $100 paid by Norpak
                  and the commitment of the loan set out in Section VII and the
                  delivery of the Option to Sunswipe.

         II.      TSC or Sunswipe, as determined by Norpak as applicable,
                  ("Operating Business") will purchase certain products from
                  Norpak and Norpak will provide certain services to Operating
                  Business on the following terms. In addition to the base
                  price of the products to be set from time to time and
                  additional services related thereto, Norpak will be entitled
                  to receive 50% of the pre-tax net income of Operating
                  Business. Contemporaneous with the distribution of the
                  pre-tax net income, of Operating Business, Operating
                  Business, will pay each of Mendy Fellig and Uoli Fellig an
                  annual fee equal to 10% of the pre-tax net income of
                  Operating Business to a maximum of $50,000 each for their
                  full time service to Operating Business or as directed by
                  Norpak ("Employment Fee"). As part of this Agreement Mendy
                  Fellig will cause new sales and business opportunities to be
                  marshaled through Operating Business to generate income. The
                  parties may establish a draw agreement satisfactory to all
                  parties for the payment of the Employment Fee provided
                  monthly cashflow permits.

         III.     In determining the pre-tax net income amounts, products and
                  services owed to Norpak will be paid first, all other costs
                  for production and raw materials will be paid secondly, third
                  party expenses incurred or paid directly by Mendy and Uoli
                  Fellig will be paid thirdly, then the Employment Fee will be
                  paid contemporaneous with the pre-tax net income
                  distribution. In any event, all products purchased from
                  Norpak must be paid in full within six months from the
                  delivery of the products. Any amounts outstanding in excess
                  of six months would be paid for in full prior to payment of
                  the Employment Fee and the distribution of the pre-tax net
                  income. In the event that there are shareholder loans due to
                  Mendy Fellig or Uoli Fellig or any related party from
                  Sunswipe, which existed prior to the involvement of Norpak,
                  such loans would be repaid from Fellig's 50% of the pre-tax
                  net income of Operating Business. Any shareholder loans so
                  made subsequent to the involvement of Norpak would be repaid
                  prior to the pre-tax net income distribution or pursuant to
                  such other agreements between the parties. All such
                  calculations shall be made in accordance with GAAP.

                  plan approved by Norpak. This loan will be secured by the
                  personal guarantee of Mendy Fellig described above.
