                  to the knowledge of the Seller threatened, against or relating
                  to the Seller or the Assets or  Business,  nor does the Seller
                  know or have  reasonable  grounds  to know of any basis for an
                  such action, or of any governmental  investigation relative to
                  the Seller's Assets or Business.

         (h)      Taxes.  Seller has paid,  or at the time of Closing  will have

                  taxes  which  are due at the time of  Closing  and any and all
                  other taxes related to the Business  which are due at the time
                  of Closing.

(i) Licenses,  Government Regulation and Legal Compliance. All permits, licenses
and       other       ----------------------------------------------------------
authorizations  required for the  operation of the Business as now conducted are
in full force and effect and Seller has complied  with,  and is not in violation
of, any of the  requirements,  conditions,  or  limitations of any such permits,
licenses, or other authorizations or of any governmental  regulations applicable
to such  business.  Seller  has  complied  in all  respects  with the Fair Labor

                  contingent  or  absolute,   matured  or  unmatured,  known  or
                  unknown,  including,  without  limitation,  unasserted  claims
                  relating to the Assets of Seller)  relating  to the  Business,
                  except for liabilities and obligations  which were incurred in
                  the ordinary course of business since March 31, 1998.

          (k)     Disclosure.  No  representation  or  warranty by Seller in the

                  the transaction  contemplated hereby, contains or will contain
                  any untrue  statement of a material fact or omits or will omit
                  any  statement  of  material   fact   necessary  to  make  the
                  statements contained therein not misleading.

Section 9. Survival of  Representations  and  Warranties.  All  representations,
warranties, and covenants made herein by Seller and Buyer, shall be effective as

Section 10. Conduct of Seller  Pending  Closing.  Seller  covenants  that,
between the date hereof and the date of
            ------------------------------------
Closing:

         (a)      Seller's business will be conducted only in the ordinary
                  course of business;.
(b) Except as otherwise  requested by Buyer,  Seller will preserve for Buyer the
goodwill of Seller's  suppliers,  customers and others having business relations
with Seller.

         (c)      Buyer, its agents,  attorneys and  representatives  shall have
                  full access to the Assets for purposes of inspecting  the same
                  or any part  thereof at such  times as they  shall  reasonably
                  request during normal business hours.  Seller shall furnish to
                  Buyer all  information  with respect to the Assets or Business
                  of Seller as Buyer may from time to time request.

         (d)      As of the close of business on the Closing Date,  Seller shall
                  terminate the employment  off all of its  employees,  of which

                  liabilities, costs and expensed incident to the termination of
                  such  employees  including  any fees by the  employee  leasing
                  company.

Section 11.  Indemnification.
             ----------------

         (a) Indemnification by Seller. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless
Buyer from any and all claims, losses, liabilities,  damages, legal proceedings,
recoveries,  costs or expenses (including any interest and reasonable attorneys'
fees), collectively, a "Loss", resulting from or arising out of:

                  (i)      Any misrepresentation,  breach of warranty or failure
                           to fulfill any obligation of the part of Seller in or
                           under  this  Agreement  or in or under  any  document
                           furnished  by  Seller  to Buyer as  required  by this
                           Agreement;

                  (ii)     Any claims, demands, suits, proceedings or actions by
                           any third  party  containing  allegations  which,  if
                           true, would constitute a misrepresentation, breach of
                           warranty or failure to fulfill an  obligation  on the
                           part of Seller in or under  this  Agreement  or in or
                           under any document furnished by Seller to Buyer; and

(iii)                      Any  liability,  expense or other  obligation  of, or
                           claims  against  Seller,  other than  relating to the
                           Assumed Liabilities.

Seller agrees that the payments  required to be made under this Agreement may be
reduced  by any amount of  indebtedness  of Seller to Buyer  arising  under this
Agreement or in any other manner whatsoever.  Buyer shall promptly notify Seller
of any liability to which  Seller's  indemnification  obligations  may apply and
shall give Seller a  reasonable  opportunity  to defend the same at his own cost
and expense with counsel of his own selection,  provided that Buyer shall at all
times have the right to fully participate in the defense at its own expense.  If
Seller shall, within a reasonable time after such notice, fail to defend,  Buyer
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake the defense of and to
compromise  or settle the  liability on behalf,  for the account and at the risk
and expense of Seller,  if Seller is later determined to be responsible for such
liability.

 (b)  Indemnification  by Buyer.  Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller
from any and all  Losses  resulting  from or  arising  out of any  liability  or
obligation of or claims against Seller (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or
otherwise  and  whether  contractual,  tax or any  other  type of  liability  or
obligation or claim)  relating to or resulting  from the Assets or the operation
of the  Business  during  the  period  from and after the date on which they are
conveyed to Buyer;  notwithstanding the foregoing,  in no event shall Buyer have
any indemnification  obligation to Seller pursuant to this Section 11(b) for any
Losses otherwise indemnifiable hereunder to the extent that such Losses directly
relate to a liability,  obligation or claim with regard to the failure to obtain
any waiver,  consent or approval from any party to any contract that is required
in order to assign any such  contract to Buyer;  provided,  however,  that Buyer
shall remain liable for any other Losses indemnifiable  pursuant to this Section
11(b) not directly  relating to such a liability,  obligation  or claim.  Seller
shall  promptly  notify Buyer of any liability to which Buyer's  indemnification
obligations  may apply and shall give Buyer a reasonable  opportunity  to defend
the same at his own cost and expense with counsel of his own selection, provided
that  Seller  shall at all  times  have the  right to fully  participate  in the
defense at its own expense.  If Buyer shall, within a reasonable time after such
notice, fail to defend, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation,  to
undertake  the defense of and to  compromise  or settle the liability on behalf,
for the  account  and at the  risk  and  expense  of  Buyer,  if  Buyer is later
determined to be responsible for such liability.

Section 12. Risk of Loss.  The risk of loss or damage by fire or other  casualty
or cause to the Assets or the Business prior to the date on which they are to be
conveyed  to Buyer  shall be upon  Seller.  In the  event of such loss or damage
prior to such date, Seller shall promptly restore, replace or repair the damaged
Assets to their previous condition at the sole cost and expense of Seller. Buyer
shall have any and all remedies to enforce such  obligations as may be available
at law or in  equity  or  otherwise  (including,  without  limitation,  specific
performance).

Section 13.  Brokerage.  Seller is  responsible  for any and all brokerage  fees
arising from the execution of this ---------  agreement.  Buyer has no agreement
with a brokerage that would result in any fees for the Seller or the Buyer.

Section 14.  Termination.
             -----------

         (a)      Termination.  Subject to the  provisions  of paragraph  (b) of
                  this Section 14, this  Agreement  may, by written notice given
                  at or prior to the Closing in the manner hereinafter provided,
                  be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

                  (i)      by mutual written consent of the parties hereto; or

                  (ii)     by Seller, on the one hand, or by Buyer, on the other
                           hand,  if the Closing  shall not have  occurred on or
                           before July 31, 1998; provided,  that such failure to
                           close is not a result of a breach  of this  Agreement
                           by the party or  parties  seeking  to  terminate  the
                           Agreement.

         (b)      Effect  of  Termination.   In  the  event  this  Agreement  is
                  terminated  as provided in  paragraph  (a) of this Section 14,
                  this  Agreement  shall be deemed null,  void and of no further
                  force or effect, and the parties hereto shall be released from
                  all future  obligations  hereunder.  The parties  hereto shall
                  have any and all remedies to enforce such obligations provided
                  at  law  or  in  equity  or  otherwise   (including,   without
                  limitation, specific performance).

Section 15.  Mediation of Disputes

         (a)      In  the  event  of a  dispute  between  the  parties  to  this
                  Agreement the following procedure will be used in a good faith
                  attempt  to  mediate  and  resolve  the  dispute  prior to the
                  pursuit by either party of other available remedies.

                  (i)      A meeting (the "Initial  Meeting")  shall promptly be
                           held at which all parties are present by  individuals
                           with full  decision  making  authority  regarding the
                           matters in dispute.

                  (ii)     If,  within  thirty (30) days  following  the Initial
                           Meeting,  the parties  have not resolved the dispute,
                           the dispute shall be submitted to mediation  directed
                           by a mediator mutually  agreeable to the parties (the
                           "Mediator).  Each party shall bear its  proportionate
                           share of the costs of the  meditation,  including the
                           Mediator's fee.

                  (iii)    The parties  agree to  negotiate in good faith in the
                           Initial Meeting and in mediation  conferences and use
                           reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute without the
                           need for litigation.

         (b)      If, after a period of sixty (60) days  following the mediation
                  conferences or any adjournment  thereof,  and despite the good
                  faith  efforts of the  parties  to  negotiate  and  attempt to
                  resolve  the  dispute,  the  parties are unable to resolve the
                  dispute,  either party may initiate  arbitration upon ten (10)
                  days' prior written notice to the other party.  The initiation
                  of arbitration, however, shall not eliminate the obligation of
                  the parties to continue to negotiate in good faith and attempt
                  to resolve the issue.

          (c)     In the  event  there is a failure  of  mediation  pursuant  to
                  paragraph (B) above,  any  controversy or claim arising out of
                  or relating to this  Agreement  or the breach  thereof will be
                  settled by arbitration in Oklahoma City,  Oklahoma  before and
                  in accordance  with the  Commercial  Arbitration  Rules of the
                  American Arbitration  Association.  The award rendered in that
                  arbitration  will  be  binding  on  the  parties  hereto,  and
                  judgment  upon the award can be  entered  by any court  having
                  jurisdiction  thereof.  Without detracting from the generality
                  of the foregoing,  the following specific provisions will also
                  apply:

                  (i)      The  proceedings  will  beheld  by a panel  of  three
                           arbitrators,  each  party  having the right to select
                           one  arbitrator,  with the  third to be  selected  in
                           accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration
                           Association;

                  (ii)     The parties,  by mutual  agreement,  can also provide
                           that all or part of the  arbitration  proceedings  be
                           held  outside of  Oklahoma  City,  Oklahoma;  in this
                           event,  the  parties  will  equally  bear any special
                           expenses resulting from that decision;

                  (iii)    Before   rendering   their   final   decision,    the
                           arbitrators  will  act  as  friendly,   disinterested
                           parties for the purpose of helping the parties  reach
                           compromise settlements on the points in dispute; and

                  (iv)     The  costs  of  the   arbitration   will  be  in  the
                           discretion  of the  arbitrators,  provided,  however,
                           that no party  is  obliged  to pay more  than its own
                           costs,  the costs of the arbitrator it has nominated,
                           and the cost of the third arbitrator.

Section 16.  Miscellaneous Provisions.

         (a)      Governing Law,  Venue.  This  Agreement  shall be governed and
                  controlled  in all  respects  by the  laws  of  the  state  of

                  validity, and construction, without regard to its conflicts of
                  laws principles.  Any litigation arising out of or relating to
                  this Agreement  shall be conducted  solely and  exclusively in

                  the subject matter hereof; and to the extent permitted by law,

                  understanding  between the parties with respect to the subject
                  matter of this Agreement and supersedes any prior discussions,

                  effective and valid under  applicable law. If any provision is
                  prohibited  by or invalid  under  applicable  law, it shall be
                  ineffective   only  to  the  extent  of  such  prohibition  or
                  invalidity,   without   invalidating  the  remainder  of  such
                  provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

                            NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

          THIS NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of 1998, by
     and  between  -----------------  ETHOS  COMMUNICATIONS  CORP.,  an Oklahoma
     corporation ("Ethos"), and MARK K. LOTTOR ("Lottor"). W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS,  Lottor is the owner of Network Wizards, a sole proprietorship
(the  "Business"),  which  conducts  web hosting  services  under the trade name
"Catalog.com"; and

         WHEREAS,  Lottor has entered into that certain Asset Purchase Agreement
dated 1998 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with Ethos, pursuant to which Lottor
agreed to sell all of his right,  title and interest in and to the assets of the
Business to Ethos (the "Asset Purchase"); and

         WHEREAS, as a condition to the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement,
Lottor has agreed to enter into this  Agreement  and to refrain  from  competing
with Ethos,  as  hereinafter  provided,  in order to induce Ethos to fulfill its
obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement;

         NOW, THEREFORE,  in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements
herein  contained,  the mutual  promises and  agreements  contained in the Asset
Purchase Agreement,  and other good and valuable consideration,  the adequacy of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

         1.       Non-Competition.

                  1.1. Non-Competition. During the period expiring two (2) years
from the Closing Date (as defined in the Asset Purchase  Agreement) of the Asset
Purchase  (the  "Non-competition  Period"),  Lottor  will  not (a)  directly  or
indirectly,   own,  manage,   operate,  join,  control,  be  employed  with,  or
participate  in the  ownership,  management,  operation,  or  control  of, or be
connected in any manner with, any business  engaged in the design,  operation or
management  of  Internet  website  hosting;  (b)  contact or attempt to contact,
directly or  indirectly,  any of the customers of the Business as of the Closing
Date,  in order to sell for the benefit of anyone other than Ethos,  any product
or  products of a type  similar to those sold by the  Business as of the Closing
Date or provide  services of a type similar to those provided by the Business as
of the  Closing  Date,  nor will  Lottor  dissuade  or attempt to  dissuade  any
customer of the Business as of the Closing Date from using services  provided by
the Business at the Closing Date.

                  1.2. No Geographic Limitation.  Lottor acknowledges and agrees
that due to the global  nature of  telecommunications  and the ease with which a
business may enter the  telecommunications  industry, the conduct of an Internet
website  hosting  business  is not  limited  by  geographic  location  and  that
companies may compete for customers in that  business  without being  physically
situated in the same city, state, region or country. Consequently, the covenants
against competition contained herein shall not be subject to geographic boundary
and shall be a worldwide restriction on competition.

                  1.3. Severability of Covenants/Scope.  Lottor acknowledges and
agrees that the covenants  against  competition  contained herein are reasonable
and valid in geographical  and temporal scope and in all other respects.  If any
court determines that any of such covenants, or any part thereof, are invalid or
unenforceable,  because of the duration or geographic  scope of such provisions,
or for any other reason,  the remainder of such  covenants  shall not thereby be
affected and shall be given full effect,  without regard to the invalid portion.
Further, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such
provisions as the case may be, and in its reduced form such provision shall then
be enforceable.

                  1.4. Excluded  Activities.  Notwithstanding  the provisions of
this Section 1, Lottor shall be permitted to provide  services for  "art.net," a
not-for-profit  business,  in the provision of web-hosting services for artists,
provided that "art.net" does not provide  virtual  servers for artists or others
or web-hosting  services for profit.  In addition,  Lottor shall be permitted to
provide  general  consulting  services for companies so long as that  consulting
assistance  is not in any  way  related  to  setting  up web  hosting  services,
providing  programming  assistance for operating or maintaining web site hosting
services  or in any way  related  to web  server  operations  including  but not
limited to the back end accounting or operations of web site hosting.

         2. Records and Information  Confidential.  The records of the Business,
including  the names and  addresses  of its  customers,  to be acquired by Ethos
pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement,  and any part of such records, whether
in original form or in computerized,  duplicated, or copied form, and the names,
addresses,  and  other  facts in such  records,  shall  be the sole  proprietary
information of Ethos and shall be treated by Lottor as confidential information,
shall be treated by Lottor as such,  and shall not be transmitted  verbally,  in
writing,  or in computerized form by Lottor.  Lottor further agrees with respect
to the Assets,  (a) to keep confidential all such information that is identified
as being of a confidential nature, (b) not to use such confidential  information
on his own behalf, or on behalf of any other person,  firm or entity and (c) not
to disclose such confidential information to any third party without the advance
written authorization of Ethos.

         3.  Termination.  This Agreement shall terminate upon expiration of the
Non-Competition  Period.  Lottor may terminate  this Agreement only in the event
that Ethos is in material breach of the Asset Purchase Agreement and such breach
has not been  cured  by  Ethos as  provided  in the  Asset  Purchase  Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, termination of this Agreement shall not terminate
the provisions of Section 2, which shall survive termination.

         4.       Other Provisions.

4.1. Notices. Any notice or other communication  required or permitted hereunder
shall be ------- in writing and shall be delivered in accordance  with the terms
of the Asset Purchase Agreement at such addresses as provided for therein.

4.2. Entire Agreement.  This Agreement is one of several agreements contemplated
by the  -----------------  Asset  Purchase  Agreement,  constitutes  the  entire
agreement  between the parties with respect to the subject  matter  hereof,  and
supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto.

                  4.3.  Waivers and  Amendments.  This Agreement may be amended,
modified,  superseded,   canceled,  renewed  or  extended,  and  the  terms  and
conditions  hereof may be  waived,  only by a written  instrument  signed by the
parties or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving  compliance.  No delay
on the part of any party in exercising any right,  power or privilege  hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party
of any right, power or privilege  hereunder,  nor any single or partial exercise
of any  right,  power or  privilege  hereunder  preclude  any  other or  further
exercise  thereof  or the  exercise  of any  other  right,  power  or  privilege
hereunder.

4.4. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance
with the --------------  laws of the State of Oklahoma  applicable to agreements
made and to be performed entirely within such state.

4.5.  Assignment.  Neither party hereto may assign any rights hereunder  without
the written ---------- consent of the other party hereto.

4.6.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of ------------ which shall be deemed an original but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.

4.7.  Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are for reference  purposes only
and shall -------- not in any way affect the meaning or  interpretation  of this
Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the
date first above written.
