Exhibit 10.68

                                 LOAN AGREEMENT

     This Agreement, is made this 16th day of January, 2001, by and among: WELLS
FARGO BANK WEST, N.A.,  TRUSTEE OF THE JAMES C. BERGER ROLLOVER IRA,  (formerly,
Norwest  Bank  Colorado,  National  Association,  Trustee of the James C. Berger
Rollover IRA) (BERGER"), JOHN M. VENTIMIGLIA ("VENTIMIGLIA") and ROBIN L. MORLEY
& MARK E.  MORLEY  (COLLECTIVELY  "MORLEY"),  (BERGER,  VENTIMIGLIA  AND  MORLEY
COLLECTIVELY  ARE "LENDER");  OPEC CORP., a Colorado  corporation,  ("OPEC") and
FUTUREONE, INC., a Nevada corporation ("FUTO"), (collectively,  "Borrower"); and
DONALD D. CANNELLA ("Guarantor").

     WHEREAS, Borrower has applied to Berger and Ventimiglia for a new revolving
credit line loan in the amount of THREE HUNDRED  THOUSAND and 00/100ths  DOLLARS
(U.S.  $300,000.00) in order to meet its cash flow business  obligations,  ("New
Loan") and,

     WHEREAS, Borrower has applied to Lender to modify and extend a loan made by
OPEC dated August 27, 1999 in the  principal  amount of  $1,000,000.00  ("Second
Amendment"); and,

     WHEREAS,  Guarantor has a substantial  economic  interest in the success of
Borrower  and desires  that the Borrower and the Lender enter into the New Loan,
Second Amendment, and

     WHEREAS,  Berger and Ventigmilia  desire to make the aforesaid New Loan and
Lender  desires to modify the existing loan subject to the  following  terms and
conditions,

     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the following mutual agreements
and other good and  valuable  considerations,  the receipt and adequacy of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

     1. NEW LOAN.  Berger and  Ventigmilia  agree to lend Borrower THREE HUNDRED
THOUSAND and no/100ths DOLLARS (U.S. $300,000.00) on the following terms:

INTEREST RATE: 15% per annum.

TERM:          Due  December 31, 2002.

PAYMENTS: All accrued but unpaid interest on the 1st day of February,  2001, and
on the first day of each  month  thereafter.  The entire  outstanding  principal
balance,  together  with all accrued and unpaid  interest and all other sums due
hereunder,  shall be due in full on December  31,  2002,  IN A BALLOON  PAYMENT.
Borrower understands this Note is payable in full on December 31, 2002, and that
this Note is a balloon  payment  loan.  The  Lender  is under no  obligation  to
refinance  the loan at that time.  Borrower  will  therefore be required to make
payment out of other assets it may own, or it will have to find a Lender willing
to lend it money at prevailing  market rates,  which may be considerably  higher
than the  interest  rate of this  loan.  If  Borrower  refinances  this  loan at
maturity,  it may have to pay some or all closing costs normally associated with
a new loan, even if it obtains refinancing from the same Lender. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary stated herein, Lender shall have the right, in its sole
and absolute  discretion,  to call this Note,  in whole or in part,  at any time
after  February 28, 2001.  If Lender  exercises its call  privilege,  the entire
outstanding  principal  balance  called,  together  with all  accrued and unpaid
interest and all other sums due hereunder, shall be due in full immediately.  If
Borrower  fails to repay the  principal  and  interest  as  required  under this
paragraph,  then the Lender may invoke any of the remedies permitted by the Note
and UCC Security Agreement.

                                       1
<PAGE>
PREPAYMENT  RESTRICTIONS:  This note may be  prepaid  at any time in whole or in
part upon fifteen (15) days' written notice to Lender.

REVOLVING  LOAN:  During the term of the Loan and so long as  Borrower is not in
default, Borrower shall have the right to pay down the Loan in whole or in part,
and shall have the right to make up to six (6) draws of principal  each calendar
year during the term of the Loan so long as the total unpaid principal  balance,
at no time, exceeds Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00).

     2. SECOND AMENDMENT TO AUGUST 27, 1999 LOAN. Lender and Borrower agree that
the terms of the August 27, 1999 Loan shall be modified as follows:

AMENDED AND EXTENDED PAYMENT SCHEDULE: All accrued but unpaid interest is due on
the 1st day of February 2001, and on the first day of each month thereafter. The
entire  outstanding  principal  balance,  together  with all  accrued and unpaid
interest and all other sums due hereunder,  shall be due in full on December 31,
2002 in a balloon  payment.  Maker  understands  this Note is payable in full on
December 31, 2002 and that this Note is a balloon  payment  loan.  The Lender is
under no obligation to refinance the loan at that time.  Maker will therefore be
required to make payment out of other assets it may own, or it will have to find
a Lender  willing  to lend it money at  prevailing  market  rates,  which may be
considerably  higher than the interest  rate of this loan.  If Maker  refinances
this loan at  maturity,  it may have to pay some or all closing  costs  normally
associated with a new loan, even if it obtains refinancing from the same Lender.
Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  stated herein,  Lender shall have the
right,  in its sole and absolute  discretion,  to call this Note, in whole or in
part,  at any time  after  February  28,  2001.  If  Lender  exercises  its call
privilege,  the entire outstanding  principal balance called,  together with all
accrued and unpaid  interest and all other sums due  hereunder,  shall be due in
full immediately. If Maker fails to repay the principal and interest as required
under this paragraph,  then the Lender may invoke any of the remedies  permitted
by the Note and Security Agreement.

DELETION OF CONVERSION PRIVILEGE: The Conversion Privilege set forth in the Note
and the Modified Conversion  Privilege set forth in the First Amendment are both
deleted in their entirety.

     3.  FACTORING.  OPEC has  identified  another  Lender  that is  willing  to
purchase or factor certain of OPEC's accounts receivables,  which are encumbered
by the Security Agreement  ("Factoring  Lender").  The Lender shall, in its sole
and  absolute   discretion,   consider  consenting  to  periodically   releasing
identified  portions of OPEC's accounts  receivable from the Security  Agreement
upon  terms  and  conditions  which  may  be  acceptable  to  Lender.  Prior  to
considering  any release of collateral  for the purposes of factoring,  Borrower
shall  provide  current  financial  data in form and substance  satisfactory  to
Lender. All such current financial data shall be current,  true and correct when
supplied  and shall not be  misleading  in any  respect  whatsoever.  Other than
factoring which may be approved by Lender, from time to time, Borrower shall not
borrow any funds without first  obtaining the express written consent of Lender,
which consent may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender.

     4. ADDITIONAL TERMS:  Additional terms are set forth in the Note and Second
Amendment to Collateralized  Convertible Commercial Promissory Note and Security
Agreement,  copies of which are  attached  hereto as Exhibit  A,  Exhibit B and,
EXHIBIT C respectively, and incorporated herein.

     5. LOAN  ORIGINATION  AND  EXTENSION  FEE.  Borrower  agrees to provide the
following to Berger and Ventimiglia and Lender in  consideration  for Berger and
Venitigmilia's  agreeing to make the New Loan and Lender  agreeing to the Second
Extension:

     (a)  The  360,000  Common  Stock  Purchase   Warrants,   which  Lender  has

          and delivered  forthwith at an exercise  price of $0.20 per share,  in
          lieu of the previously-agreed  upon exercise price of $1.00 per share.
          These  warrants shall be valid for a period of five (5) years from the
          date of delivery to Lender and shall not be callable.  These  Warrants
          shall be issued 50% to Berger, 40% to Ventimiglia and 10% to Morley.

     (b)  Borrower shall  forthwith  issue and deliver an additional One Million
          Common Stock Purchase  Warrants for shares of Common Stock in FUTO, at
          an  exercise  price of $0.20 per share.  In all other  respects  these
          Warrants  shall  contain the same terms and  conditions as the 360,000
          warrants referred to herein above.  These Warrants shall be issued 50%
          to Berger and 50% to Ventimiglia.

     (c)  Borrower  shall  execute and deliver to Lender an  additional  600,000

          respects these Warrants shall contain the same terms and conditions as
          the 360,000 warrants referred to herein above. These Warrants shall be
          issued 50% to Berger, 40% to Ventimiglia and 10% to Morley.

     (d)  If FUTO,  at any  time,  pays to the  holders  of its  Common  Stock a
          dividend in Common  Stock prior to the exercise of any of the warrants
          issued  hereunder,  the number of  Warrants  shall be  proportionately
          increased,  effective  at the close of business on the record date for
          determination  of the  holders of the  Common  Stock  entitled  to the
          dividend.

     (e)  If FUTO,  at any time,  subdivides  or combines in a larger or smaller
          number of shares,  its  outstanding  shares of Common Stock,  then the
          number of Warrants issued hereunder shall be proportionately increased
          in  the  case  of  a  subdivision  and  decreased  in  the  case  of a
          combination,  effective in either case at the close of business on the
          date that the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

          corporation,  or sells or  conveys  to any  other  corporation  all or
          substantially  all of its  property as an entity,  provision  shall be
          made as  part of the  terms  of the  recapitalization,  consolidation,
          merger,  sale or conveyance so that the Lender may receive, in lieu of
          the Warrants,  otherwise  issuable to it pursuant to the terms hereof,
          the  same  kind  and  amount  of   securities  or  assets  as  may  be
          distributable upon the recapitalization,  consolidation,  merger, sale
          or conveyance with respect to the Common Stock.

     (g)  In lieu of issuing any fraction of a share or script upon the exercise
          of any Warrant,  FUTO shall pay to Lender, for any fraction of a share
          otherwise issuable upon exercise of a Warrant,  cash equal to the same
          fraction  of the then  current  per share  market  price of the Common
          Stock as  determined  by the closing price of such Common Stock on the
          day immediately preceding such payment.

     (h)  The Loan  Origination  and  Extension  Fees set forth  herein shall be
          deemed  to have  been  earned,  in full,  on the date the New Note and
          Second Extension are executed and delivered from Borrower to Lender.

PRE-DEFAULT INTEREST RATE:

A fixed rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum.

THE POST-DEFAULT INTEREST RATE:  Twenty-one (21%) percent per annum.

PAYMENT SCHEDULE:

All accrued but unpaid interest is due on the 1st day of February,  2001, and on
the  first  day of each  month  thereafter.  The  entire  outstanding  principal
balance,  together  with all accrued and unpaid  interest and all other sums due
hereunder, shall be due in full on December 31, 2002 IN A BALLOON PAYMENT. Maker
understands this Note is payable in full on December 31, 2002 and that this Note
is a balloon  payment  loan.  The Lender is under no obligation to refinance the
loan at that time. Maker will therefore be required to make payment out of other
assets it may own, or it will have to find a Lender  willing to lend it money at
prevailing market rates, which may be considerably higher than the interest rate
of this loan. If Maker refinances this loan at maturity, it may have to pay some
or all closing costs  normally  associated  with a new loan,  even if it obtains
refinancing  from the same  Lender.  Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary
stated herein, Lender shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion,
to call this Note, in whole or in part, at any time after  February 28, 2001. If
Lender exercises its call privilege,  the entire  outstanding  principal balance
called,  together  with all accrued and unpaid  interest  and all other sums due
hereunder,  shall  be due in full  immediately.  If Maker  fails  to  repay  the
principal  and interest as required  under this  paragraph,  then the Lender may
invoke any of the remedies permitted by the Note and Security Agreement.

LATE PAYMENT CHARGE:  Five percent (5%) of the unpaid  installment per day until
the default is cured or the maximum charge allowed by law, whichever is less.

PREPAYMENT:  This Note may be  prepaid  at any time,  in whole or in part,  upon
fifteen (15) days' written notice to Lender.

SECURITY:  The Note is  secured  by all of  Maker's  inventory,  chattel  paper,
accounts,  equipment  and general  intangibles,  whether now owned or  hereafter
acquired,  whether now existing or hereafter arising, and any and all additions,
accessions and substitutions thereto or thereof.

GENERAL NOTE PROVISIONS:

     1. Maker,  jointly and severally,  if more than one, promises to pay to the
order of Lender at the Lender's offices  designated above, the Principal Amount,
with interest on the unpaid balance at the  Pre-Default  Interest Rate specified
above.  The annual rate of interest shall be based on a 365 day year.  Principal
and interest shall be payable as specified in the Payment Schedule above.

                                       2

     2. If any installment of this Note is not paid in full on its due date, the
Holder  hereof at any time;  in lieu of  acceleration  of  maturity,  may at the
Holder's sole option, charge Maker the Late Payment Charge specified above.

     3. At the option of the  Holder,  the  unpaid  balance of this Note and all
other  obligations  of Maker to the  Holder,  direct or  indirect,  absolute  or
contingent,  now existing or hereafter  arising,  may become immediately due and
payable without notice or demand if (a) any payment required by this Note is not
made  when due,  (b) a  default  or event of  default  occurs  under any loan or
security agreement or other instrument executed as security for or in connection
with this Note, (c) Maker shall be in default on any other  indebtedness  to the
Holder,  (d) any warranty,  representation or statement made or furnished to the
Holder by or on behalf of Maker in connection with this Note proves to have been
false in any material  respect when made or furnished,  (e) death,  dissolution,
termination of existence, merger, consolidation,  insolvency,  business failure,
appointment  of a receiver of any part of the  property of,  assignment  for the
benefit  of  creditors  by,  or the  commencement  of any  proceeding  under any
bankruptcy or insolvency  law by or against Maker or any guarantor or surety for
Maker (such default not having been previously  cured), or (f) the Holder at any
time in good faith  believes  that the prospect of any payment  required by this
Note is impaired,  whether or not such belief is caused by any act or failure to
act of any Maker or of any endorser,  guarantor of accommodation  party of or on
this Note  (hereafter  collectively  referred to as "any other  signer").  After
maturity or upon default,  the outstanding unpaid principal balance plus accrued
interest,  even if reduced to judgment,  will draw  interest at the Post Default
Interest  Rate until  paid.  Payments  shall,  at the option of the  Holder,  be
applied  first to  interest  accrued to date with the  balance  credited  to the
reduction of principal.

     4.  Maker  and any  other  signer  waive  demand,  presentment,  notice  of
dishonor,  and protest,  and assent to any extension of time with respect to any
payment due under this Note, to any substitution or release of collateral and to
the  addition  or release of any party.  No waiver of any payment or other right
under  this  Note or any  loan or  security  agreement  executed  in  connection
herewith shall operate as a waiver of any payment or other right under this Note
or any loan or security agreement executed in connection  herewith shall operate
as a waiver of any other  payment or right,  including  right of offset.  If the
Holder  enforces this Note upon default,  Maker or any other signer shall pay or
reimburse the Holder for reasonable  expenses incurred in establishing the debt,
collecting  the amount due and in obtaining  possession  of and realizing on any
security therefor, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

     5. Maker shall have the  privilege of  prepayment in any amount at any time
subject to the prepayment  restrictions or penalty,  if any specified  above. In
any event, any prepayment  shall not excuse any subsequent  periodic payment due
as provided hereinabove.

     6. This Note shall be construed under and governed by the laws of Colorado.
If there is more than one Maker,  all of the provisions of this Note shall apply
to each and any of them.  Maker represents and warrants that the purpose of this
loan is primarily business, commercial or agricultural, and not personal, family
or household.
