            RESPONDENTS.

         WHEREAS the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business
Services ("Director") has conducted an investigation of High Tech Travel
Services Corporation ("High Tech"), and has determined that High Tech, Benjamin
R. Callari, Donald R. Myatt Jr. and Dennis L. Weathers, (collectively,
"Respondents")have transacted securities business in violation of the Oregon
Securities laws; and

         WHEREAS, respondents wish to resolve and settle this matter by entry
into this Consent Order;

         NOW THEREFORE, as evidenced by the authorized signatures subscribed on
this Order, and acknowledging the following facts are true and correct,
Respondents hereby CONSENT to entry of this Consent Order to Cease and Desist,
Order Assessing Civil Penalty, and Consent to Entry of Order ("Order"), based
upon the Director's findings of fact and conclusions of law as stated
hereinafter.
                                FINDINGS OF FACT
The Director FINDS that:

         1. High Tech is an entity with a principal place of business at 38
Second Avenue, Atlantic Highlands, NJ 07716. High Tech currently has no other
corporate offices or other commercial business addresses.

         2.  High Tech is a Delaware Corporation.

         3. High Tech is not licensed with the Division of Finance and Corporate
Securities ("DFCS") as a salesperson, broker-dealer or investment advisory firm.
High Tech has not registered its stock or other offering with DFCS, nor has it
made a notice filing pursuant to ORS 59.055(3).

HIGH TECH TRAVEL SERVICES CORPORATION

<PAGE>

         4. High Tech is engaged in the software business, developing software
for use in making travel arrangements and reservations. At all times material to
this Order, the software development was not completed.

         5. Through its promoters, High Tech offered interests in the company to
investors in the form of stock. In connection with the offering High Tech
provided a Private Placement Memorandum to prospective investors. High Tech's
offering was purported to be exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation D
under the federal securities laws. A Regulation D filing was not completed with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and a Regulation
D-type registration was not filed with the State of Oregon.

         6. Investments in High Tech were promoted in Oregon by Benjamin R.
Callari ("Callari"), whose address is 38 Second Avenue, Atlantic Highlands, New
Jersey 07716, who attended meetings in Oregon and made presentations at those
meetings; by Dennis L. Weathers whose address us 1058 Mason Street, Myrtle
Creek, OR 97457; by Donald R. Myatt, Jr., whose address is 5891 Garden Valley
Rd., Roseburg OR 97470; all of whom made materials relative to High Tech
available to investors, made investors aware of meetings they could attend to
purchase stock, received subscription agreements and investments in High Tech
stock, and otherwise communicated information about investing in High Tech to
prospective investors. None of these individuals was ever licensed as a
salesperson, broker-dealer, or investment advisor with DFCS.

         7. Sales of stock or other interests in High Tech were made to over 100
Oregonians, as well as investors in other states. Their investments totaled over
$1.6 million.

         8. Respondents made several different stock offerings. In each
offering, Respondents used Private Placement Memoranda that were the same in all
material respects except for the availability of a repurchase provision and the
offering price, where the offering price of the shares increased in five or ten
cent increments at each new release. Shares were first offered at 50 cents per
share in November 1999, and in February 2000 were being offered at 75 cents per
share. Callari and the other promoters incorrectly believed the offerings were
in compliance with the securities laws.

ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST WITH CONSENT TO ENTRY OF ORDER                 PAGE  2
HIGH TECH TRAVEL SERVICES CORPORATION

<PAGE>

         9. Neither Callari nor the other promoters told investors that
successive offerings were being made in five or ten cent increments and that
this pattern was not in accordance with the securities laws, and that the
salespersons were not licensed with DFCS. Callari and the other promoters did
not know that the successive offerings failed to comply with the securities laws
or that the persons selling the securities needed to be licensed.

         10. High Tech paid fees and/or commissions to those introducing
investors and/or selling shares in the company.

         11. Most High Tech investors from Oregon were not accredited investors
under Oregon Securities law.

                               CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

The Director CONCLUDES that:

         1. The interests in High Tech are securities under Oregon law.

         2. High Tech, Benjamin Callari, Dennis Weathers and Donald Myatt sold
unregistered securities, in the form of stock, in violation of ORS 59.055.

         3. High Tech, Benjamin Callari, Dennis Weathers and Donald Myatt
engaged in sales of securities without a license in violation of ORS 59.165.

         4. In connection with investments in High Tech, Respondents omitted to
state material information necessary to make statements made not misleading, in
violation of ORS 59.135(2).
                                      ORDER

         The Director, pursuant to ORS 59.245 hereby ORDERS that respondent High
Tech Travel Services Corporation and any successor business or corporation,
Benjamin Callari, Dennis Weathers and Donald Myatt shall CEASE AND DESIST from:

         1. Transacting securities business in the State of Oregon in violation
of 59.055, 59.165 or 59.135;

         2. Violating any provision of the Oregon Securities Law, including ORS
Chapter 59 and OAR Chapter 441;

<PAGE>

         The Director, pursuant to ORS 59.245 hereby ORDERS that respondent High
Tech Travel Services Corporation and any successor business or corporation,
Benjamin Callari, Dennis Weathers and Donald Myatt may use the exemptions
authorized by ORS 59.025, ORS 59.035, and all related administrative rules, only
if they notify the Director of their intention to use any such exemption at
least 15 days prior to the proposed offer or sale of securities. Such notice to
the Director must specify the exemption they wish to rely upon, must describe
the proposed offer and sale of securities, and provide an opinion of counsel,
from an attorney licensed with the Oregon State Bar, holding that the exemption
is applicable under the circumstances. If the Director does not deny them the
use of the specified exemption within such 15-day period, they may offer and
sell the securities in the manner described in the notice to the Director.

         This Order shall not serve to trigger the disqualification provisions
of OAR 441-065-0130. Waiver of the disqualification provisions shall not limit
or affect the Director's merit review of any registration statement filed by
High Tech Travel Services Corporation.

         The Director, pursuant to ORS 59.245, and other applicable authority,
FURTHER ORDERS and Respondents High Tech and Callari agree to the following
additional conditions:

         1. Respondents agree to either complete a full refund or make a
rescission offer to all investors in High Tech who have purchased unregistered
securities from High Tech in the United States, exclusive of shares purchased by
Benjamin Callari, Donald Myatt and Dennis Weathers (with respect to $5,200 of
shares he purchased after he became a High Tech director) and exclusive of
investors who have already received a complete refund of their High Tech
investment (collectively, the "Investors"). High Tech further agrees to apply
for registration of the rescission offer as required by ORS 59.055. The refund
or rescission offer shall be accomplished as follows:

         (a) within ten calendar days of execution of this document, Respondents
agree to provide to DFCS a complete list of all investors including their names,
addresses, telephone numbers, dates of investment, total shares purchased and
total investment in High Tech.

         (b) Respondents have deposited funds in an escrow account
sufficient to:

             (1)complete refunds to all Investors, or

             (2) to repay in full Investors who accept the rescission offer; and

             (3) $25,000 to compensate any Investors yet unknown to DFCS.

ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST WITH CONSENT TO ENTRY OF ORDER                  PAGE 4
HIGH TECH TRAVEL SERVICES CORPORATION

<PAGE>

         (c) Respondents will establish a 35-calendar-day period during which
time Investors must accept or reject the rescission offer (which 35-day period
will commence on the date the notices of rescission are mailed to Investors).
Acceptance will be considered timely if post-marked within the 35-day period.
Acceptance notices must be mailed to Carol Dey Hibbs, Tonkon Torp LLP, 888 SW
5th Ave., 16th Floor, Portland, OR 97204. At the close of that 35-day period,
Respondents will compile instructions for disbursement to Investors accepting
the rescission offer. These instructions and supporting documents are to be
submitted to DFCS within five business days after the close of the rescission
offer. DFCS will review and the Director will approve or deny the instructions
within five business days after receipt of the instructions and supporting
documents. Respondents will have two business days after any denial by the
Director to resubmit the request for disbursement, and the Director will then
have two business days to review and approve or deny the amended request. The
Director and the Respondents will then instruct the escrow agent to disburse the
funds to all Investors accepting the rescission offer, and will require the
escrow agent to provide DFCS with satisfactory proof of disbursement and
mailing.

         (d) Respondents agree to include a cover letter with the rescission
offer and with any refund initiated by High Tech explaining the reasons for the
rescission offer or company- initiated refund, and containing language
substantially as specified in Attachment A.

         (e) High Tech agrees that it will bear all costs of the escrow agent,
disbursement, postage and mailing.

         (f) Respondents agree to diligently proceed with a rescission offer. To
evidence its diligence, High Tech will use its best efforts to complete the
following steps within the specified time periods:

         (1) High Tech's independent accountants will use their best efforts to
complete an audit of High Tech's financial statements from inception through
December 31, 1999, and to complete a review of High Tech's unaudited financial
statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, within 30 calendar days after
this document is executed.

         (2) Within 90 calendar days after this document is executed, High Tech
will use its best efforts to prepare and file a registration statement on Form
SB-2 with the SEC, and the Director and in any other states deemed appropriate
by High Tech to register the rescission offer and to register such additional
High Tech securities for sale as High Tech deems appropriate.

ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST WITH CONSENT TO ENTRY OF ORDER                  PAGE 5
HIGH TECH TRAVEL SERVICES CORPORATION
<PAGE>

         (3) High Tech will use its best efforts to respond to comments from the
SEC and the states in which the registration statement is filed within three
weeks after High Tech receives such comments.

         (4) If, after High Tech responds to the initial comments from the SEC
and states, High Tech receives any additional comments from the SEC or the
states, High Tech will use its best efforts to respond within three weeks after
receipt of the additional comments.

         (5) High Tech will cause the registration statement to become effective
as soon as practicable after it has responded to all comments from the SEC and
states.

         (6) High Tech will mail rescission offers to Investors as soon as
practicable after the registration statement has been declared effective by the
SEC and the applicable states.

         (7) It High Tech is unable to have its registration statement declared
effective in any state or if High Tech determines not to pursue registration in
a state, High Tech will refund in full all investments made by Investors
residing in that state.

         (8) High Tech will leave the rescission offer open for 35 days after
the offer is mailed to Investors.

         (g) If the rescission offer has not been completed within eight months
of the date this document is signed, or such longer period as the Director may
permit, High Tech will refund to all the Investors their investments in High
Tech.

         (h) Within 30 calendar days from the date the rescission offer or the
refund is completed, High Tech shall file a report with the Director identifying
investors repaid, amount repaid, and date of repayment.

         The Director, pursuant to ORS 59.995 HEREBY ORDERS respondent High Tech
to pay a CIVIL PENALTY in the amount of $20,000 for violations of the securities
laws, and to make a $5,000 contribution to The Oregon Investor Information
Program. High Tech agrees to pay to DFCS $2,500 when this document is signed,
and agrees to pay to DFCS an additional $2,500 within 30 days after the signing
of this document, and agrees to pay to DFCS an additional $5,000 every 30 days
thereafter until the penalties and contribution are paid in full. The first
$5,000 shall be deemed the contribution to the Oregon Investor Information
Program.

Time, and thereafter may be amended in accordance with its terms and as provided
in the DGCL.

<PAGE>

     Section 2.2  By-laws.  The By-laws of the Company as in effect  immediately
prior to the Effective  Time shall be the By-laws of the  Surviving  Corporation

Corporation and the DGCL.

     Section 2.3 Directors.  The directors of the Company  immediately  prior to

                                  ARTICLE III

                              CONVERSION OF SHARES

     Section 3.1 Conversion of Company Common Stock.  At the Effective  Time, by
virtue of the  Merger  and  without  any action on the part of any holder of any
capital  stock of the  Company,  each  issued and  outstanding  share of Company
Common Stock (as defined in Section 5.2(a)), shall, subject to Sections 3.6, 3.7
and 3.11,  be  converted  into the right to receive 1.6 shares of Parent  Common
Stock (as defined in Section 4.2(a)) (the "Exchange Number").

     Section 3.2 Conversion of Company  Preferred  Stock. At the Effective Time,
by virtue of the Merger and  without any action on the part of any holder of any
capital  stock of the  Company,  each  issued and  outstanding  share of Company
Preferred Stock (as defined in Section 5.2(a)),  shall, subject to Sections 3.6,
3.7 and 3.11,  be  converted  into the right to  receive  1.77  shares of Parent
Common Stock.

     Section 3.3 Assumption of Options.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any capital  stock of
the Company,  each outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock
(a "Company Option"), whether or not then exercisable,  will be deemed an option
to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock.  Each Company Option will continue to
have,  and be subject to, the same terms and  conditions  set forth in the stock
option or other agreement pursuant to which it was granted, except that (i) each
Company  Option  will  be  exercisable   (subject  to  any  applicable   vesting
provisions)  for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the
product of the number of shares of Company  Common Stock that were issuable upon
exercise of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (without
regard to the vesting  provisions)  multiplied by the Exchange  Number,  rounded
down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock,  (ii) the per
share  exercise  price for the  shares  of Parent  Common  Stock  issuable  upon
exercise of such  Company  Option will be equal to the  quotient  determined  by
dividing  the  exercise  price per share of Company  Common  Stock at which such
Company Option was  exercisable  immediately  prior to the Effective Time by the
Exchange  Number,  rounded up to the nearest  whole cent;  and (iii)  continuous
employment  with  Company  shall be credited  to the  optionee  for  purposes of
determining the vesting of all Company Options after the Effective Time.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     Section 3.4 Assumption of Warrants. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any capital  stock of
the Company, each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock
(a "Company Warrant"), whether or not then exercisable, will be deemed a warrant
to purchase Shares of Parent Common Stock. Each Company Warrant will continue to
have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in such Company
Warrant,  except that (i) each Company  Warrant will be exercisable  (subject to
any  applicable  vesting  provisions)  for that number of whole shares of Parent
Common  Stock  equal to the  product of the  number of shares of Company  Common
Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Warrant immediately prior
to the Effective Time (without regard to the vesting  provisions)  multiplied by
the  Exchange  Number,  rounded  down to the nearest  whole  number of shares of
Parent  Common  Stock and (ii) the per share  exercise  price for the  shares of
Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Company Warrant will be equal
to the quotient  determined by dividing the exercise  price per share of Company
Common Stock at which such Company Warrant was exercisable  immediately prior to
the Effective Time by the Exchange Number, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

     Section 3.5  Conversion of  Subsidiary  Shares.  At the Effective  Time, by
virtue of the Merger and without  any action on the part of Parent,  each issued
and  outstanding  share of common stock,  $.01 par value,  of Merger  Subsidiary
shall be  converted  into one  share of common  stock,  $.01 par  value,  of the
Surviving Corporation.

     Section 3.6 Exchange of Certificates.

          (a) From and after the Effective  Time,  each holder of an outstanding
     certificate  which  immediately  prior to the  Effective  Time  represented
     shares of  Company  Common  Stock or  Company  Preferred  Stock  (shares of
     Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock are hereinafter  sometimes
     referred to as  "Company  Capital  Stock")  shall be entitled to receive in
     exchange  therefor,  upon surrender thereof to an exchange agent reasonably
     satisfactory  to  Parent  and  the  Company  (the  "Exchange   Agent"),   a
     certificate  or  certificates  representing  the number of whole  shares of
     Parent  Common  Stock to which such holder is entitled  pursuant to Section
     3.1 or 3.2.  Notwithstanding  any other  provision of this  Agreement,  (i)
     until the holder of a certificate  representing  shares of Company  Capital
     Stock has surrendered the certificate for exchange as provided  herein,  no
     dividends  shall be paid with  respect  to any shares  represented  by such
     certificate and no payment for fractional  shares shall be made thereon and
     (ii) without regard to when such certificate is surrendered for exchange as
     provided herein,  no interest shall be paid on any dividends or any payment
     for fractional  shares.  Upon surrender of a certificate  which immediately
     prior to the Effective Time  represented  shares of Company  Capital Stock,
     there  shall be paid to the  holder of such  certificate  the amount of any
     dividends  which  theretofore  became  payable,  but which were not paid by
     reason of the  foregoing,  with  respect to the  number of whole  shares of
     Parent  Capital  Stock  represented  by the  certificate  issued  upon such
     surrender.

          (b) If any  certificate  for shares of Parent  Capital  Stock is to be
     issued in a name  other  than that in which the  certificate  for shares of
     Company Capital Stock  surrendered in exchange  therefor is registered,  it
     shall be a  condition  of such  exchange  that the person  requesting  such
     exchange  shall pay any  applicable  transfer  or other  taxes  required by
     reason of such issuance.

          (c) Promptly after the Effective Time,  Parent shall make available to
     the Exchange Agent the  certificates  representing  shares of Parent Common
     Stock  required to effect the exchanges  referred to in paragraph (a) above
     and cash for payment of any fractional shares referred to in Section 3.7.

                                       3
<PAGE>

          (d)  Promptly  after the  Effective  Time,  Parent  shall  direct  the
     Exchange  Agent  to mail to each  holder  of  record  of a  certificate  or
     certificates  that  immediately  prior to the  Effective  Time  represented
     outstanding  shares of Company  Capital Stock (the "Company  Certificates")
     (i) a letter of  transmittal  (which shall specify that  delivery  shall be
     effected,  and risk of loss and  title to the  Company  Certificates  shall
     pass, only upon actual delivery of the Company Certificates to the Exchange
     Agent) and (ii)  instructions  for use in  effecting  the  surrender of the
     Company  Certificates in exchange for certificates  representing  shares of
     Parent  Common  Stock.   Upon   surrender  of  Company   Certificates   for
     cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a duly executed letter of
     transmittal and such other documents as the Exchange Agent shall reasonably
     require,  the holder of such  Company  Certificates  shall be  entitled  to
     receive in  exchange  therefor a  certificate  representing  that number of
     whole  shares of Parent  Common  Stock  into  which the  shares of  Company
     Capital  Stock  theretofore  represented  by the  Company  Certificates  so
     surrendered shall have been converted pursuant to the provisions of Section
     3.1 or 3.2 as applicable, and the Company Certificates so surrendered shall
     be canceled.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Exchange Agent nor
     any party hereto  shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company  Capital
     Stock for any shares of Parent  Common Stock or dividends or  distributions
     thereon  delivered to a public  official  pursuant to applicable  abandoned
     property, escheat or similar laws.

          (e)  Promptly  following  the date  which  is nine  months  after  the
     Effective  Time,  the  Exchange  Agent  shall  deliver  to Parent all cash,
     certificates (including any Parent Common Stock) and other documents in its
     possession  relating to the transactions  described in this Agreement,  and
     the Exchange Agent's duties shall terminate.  Thereafter,  each holder of a
     Company  Certificate  may surrender such Company  Certificate to Parent and
     (subject to  applicable  abandoned  property,  escheat  and  similar  laws)
     receive in exchange  therefor  Parent  Common  Stock,  without any interest
     thereon.

          (f) In the event any Company  Certificate shall have been lost, stolen
     or  destroyed,  upon the making of an  affidavit of that fact by the person
     claiming such Company  Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed,  Parent
     shall cause to be issued in  exchange  for such lost,  stolen or  destroyed
     Company  Certificate  shares of Parent Common Stock  deliverable in respect
     thereof  determined in accordance  with this Article III. When  authorizing
     such payment in exchange therefor, the Board of Directors of Parent may, in
     its  discretion  and as a  condition  precedent  to the  issuance  thereof,
     require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company  Certificate to
     give  Parent  such  indemnity  as it may  reasonably  direct as  protection
     against  any claim  that may be made  against  Parent  with  respect to the
     Company Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

     Section 3.7 No Fractional  Securities.  Notwithstanding any other provision
of this  Agreement,  no  certificates  or scrip for fractional  shares of Parent
Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger and no Parent Common Stock  dividend,
stock  split or  interest  shall  relate to any  fractional  security,  and such
fractional interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other
rights of a security holder. In lieu of any such fractional shares,  each holder
of Company  Capital  Stock who would  otherwise  have been  entitled  to receive
(after  aggregating all fractional  shares of Parent Common Stock that otherwise
would be received by the  holder) a fraction of a share of Parent  Common  Stock
upon surrender of Company Certificates for exchange shall be entitled to receive
from the Exchange Agent a cash payment equal to such fraction  multiplied by the
average  closing  price per share of Parent Common Stock as reported on the NASD
OTC Electronic  Bulletin Board during the 10 trading days immediately  preceding
the Effective Time.

contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at Sheppard,  Mullin,  Richter &
Hampton LLP, 333 South Hope Street, 48th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90071 on
the fifth business day  immediately  following the date on which the last of the
conditions  set forth in Article VIII is  fulfilled or waived,  or at such other
time and place as Parent  and the  Company  shall  agree  (the date on which the

     Section  3.9  Closing of the  Company's  Transfer  Books.  At and after the
Effective Time,  holders of Company  Certificates shall cease to have any rights
as shareholders of the Company, except for the right to receive shares of Parent
Common  Stock  pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2,  as  applicable  and the right to
receive cash for payment of  fractional  shares  pursuant to Section 3.7. At the
Effective  Time,  the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no

prior to the Effective  Time shall  thereafter be made.  If, after the Effective
Time,   subject  to  the  terms  and  conditions  of  this  Agreement,   Company
Certificates  formerly  representing  Company  Capital  Stock are  presented  to
Parent,  they  shall be  canceled  and  exchanged  for  Parent  Common  Stock in
accordance with Section 3.1.

     Section 3.10 Adjustments to Exchange  Number.  The Exchange Number shall be
adjusted to reflect  fully the effect of any stock split,  reverse  stock split,
stock dividend,  reorganization,  recapitalization or any other like change with
respect to Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock  occurring after the date
hereof  and prior to the  Effective  Time.  References  to the  Exchange  Number
elsewhere in this Agreement  shall be deemed to refer to the Exchange  Number as
it may have been adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.10.

holder entitled to and seeking relief as a dissenting shareholder under the DGCL
or  under  the  California  General   Corporation  Law  (the  "CGCL")  ("Company
Dissenting  Shares")  shall not be  converted  into the right to receive  Parent
Common Stock but shall be converted into such  consideration  as may be due with
respect to such shares pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL and the
CGCL,  unless and until the right of such holder to receive  fair value for such
Company  Dissenting  Shares terminates in accordance with the DGCL and the CGCL.
If such right is  terminated  otherwise  than by the  purchase of such shares by
Parent,  then such shares shall cease to be Company  Dissenting Shares and shall
be converted  into and  represent  the right to receive  Parent  Common Stock as
provided in Section 3.1 or 3.2 as applicable.

     Parent  or  Merger  Subsidiary,  nor  the  consummation  by  either  of the
     transactions  contemplated hereby, require the approval of any shareholders
     of Parent.  This  Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of
     Parent,  Merger Subsidiary and Marsik, and, assuming the due authorization,
     execution  and  delivery  hereof by the  Company,  constitutes  a valid and

     Subsidiary  or any of their  respective  properties  or assets or (iii) any
     note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, franchise, permit,
     concession, contract, lease or other instrument, obligation or agreement of
     any kind to which  Parent or Merger  Subsidiary  is now a party or by which
     Parent or Merger Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets
     may be bound or affected.  The consummation by Parent and Merger Subsidiary
     of the transactions  contemplated  hereby will not result in any violation,
     conflict, breach, termination,  acceleration or creation of liens under any
     of the terms,  conditions  or  provisions  described in clauses (i) through
     (iii) of the preceding sentence.

          (c) Except for the filings expressly contemplated by this Agreement to

the rules and regulations thereunder. Parent is not subject to any Liability (as
defined in Section 4.6) for its failure to comply prior to December 7, 1998 with
the filings described in the preceding  sentence.  As of their respective dates,
the Parent SEC Reports did not contain any untrue  statement of material fact or
omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the  statements  therein,  in light of the  circumstances  under which they were
made, not misleading.  The audited  financial  statements and unaudited  interim

court,   governmental  department,   commission,   agency,   instrumentality  or
authority,  or any  arbitrator  that seek to restrain  the  consummation  of the
Merger or which could  reasonably be expected,  either alone or in the aggregate
with all such claims, actions or proceedings, to materially and adversely affect

be  foreseen,  will  not  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  business,
operations,  properties,  assets,  condition  (financial or other) or results of
operations of the Company.  The Company has all permits,  licenses,  franchises,
variances,  exemptions,  orders and other governmental authorizations,  consents
and  approvals   necessary  to  conduct  its  business  as  presently  conducted
(collectively, the "Company Permits'), except for permits, licenses, franchises,
variances,  exemptions,  orders,  authorizations,  consents and  approvals,  the
absence of which,  alone or in the aggregate,  would not have a material adverse
effect on the business, operations,  properties, assets, condition (financial or
other) or results of operations of the Company.  The Company is not in violation
of the terms of any  Company  Permit,  except  for  delays in filing  reports or
violations which,  alone or in the aggregate,  would not have a material adverse

contract,  commitment,  agreement,  indenture,  mortgage, loan agreement,  note,
lease,  bond,  license,  approval or other  instrument to which the Company is a
party or by which it is bound or to which any of its property is subject,  which
breaches,  violations  and  defaults,  in the case of clause (b) of this Section
5.9,  would have, in the aggregate,  a material  adverse effect on the business,
operations,  properties,  assets,  condition  (financial or other) or results of
operations of the Company.

governmental  authorities  all Tax  Returns  required  to be filed by it for all

results of operations of the Company, and such Tax Returns are true, correct and
complete in all material  respects,  and (ii) duly paid in full or made adequate

<PAGE>

     If Parent or the  Company,  as the case may be,  elects to  terminate  this
Agreement  pursuant to Section  9.1(a) or (b), as  applicable,  the  terminating
party shall deliver a notice to the other party hereto declaring its election to

obligation  on the  part of the  Company,  Parent,  Merger  Subsidiary  or their
respective  officers or directors or  shareholders  (except as set forth in this
Section 9.2 and in Section 7.8, all of which shall survive the  termination,  it
being agreed that the amount otherwise  payable to Parent prior to the Effective
Time  pursuant  to clause (i) of  Section  7.8 shall be  payable  promptly  upon
termination),  except that (a) Parent shall  promptly  refund to the Company the
sum of  $75,000  plus any  additional  amounts  theretofore  paid by  Company to
Parent, if the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(iii)

the Company shall promptly deliver to Parent a five-year warrant, in the form of
Exhibit D hereto,  to  purchase  25,000  shares of  Company  Common  Stock at an

this  Section  9.2 shall  relieve  any party from  liability  for any willful or
intentional breach of this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE X

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

     Section 10.1 Survival.  The  representations and warranties provided for in
this  Agreement  shall  survive for three (3) years beyond the  Effective  Time;
provided,  however, that the representations and warranties contained in Section
4.11  shall in no event  terminate  prior to the  expiration  of any  statute of
limitations  applicable  to claims  that may be  brought  by a taxing  authority
against  Parent for the  non-payment  of Taxes.  Any  covenants  and  agreements
provided for in this Agreement that have not been fully  performed  prior to the
Effective  Time shall survive the Effective  Time and terminate  only upon their
full performance.

                                       20
<PAGE>

     Section  10.2  Indemnity.   From  and  after  the  Effective  Time,  Marsik
("Indemnitor"), shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent and each of its
affiliates  (in each case,  "Indemnitee")  from and  against any and all losses,
costs, claims,  liabilities,  damages, lawsuits, demands and expenses (including
attorney's  fees),  and  all  amounts  paid  in the  investigation,  defense  or
settlement of any of the foregoing (collectively,  "Losses"),  resulting from or
arising out of any inaccuracy in any  representation  or warranty,  or breach of
any covenant or agreement,  of Marsik or Parent contained herein, except for any
breach by Parent of any covenant or agreement to be complied with  following the
Effective  Time.  Indemnitor  acknowledges  and  agrees  that  (i)  Indemnitor's
obligations  under this  Article 10 are not limited to the value of the escrowed
funds under the Escrow  Agreement,  but rather are fully recourse to Indemnitor,
and (ii) no  Indemnitee  shall have any  obligation  to make a claim against the
escrowed funds under the Escrow Agreement as a condition to making a claim under
this Article 10.  Notwithstanding  clause (ii) of the preceding  sentence,  each
Indemnitee  agrees that  Indemnitor's  personal  liability in respect of a claim
made under this  Article 10 shall be  suspended  until such time as the escrowed
funds under the Escrow Agreement have been exhausted.

     Section  10.3  Notice of  Asserted  Liability.  Promptly  after  Indemnitee
becomes  aware of any fact,  condition or event that may give rise to Losses for
which indemnification may be sought under this Article 10, Indemnitee shall give
notice  thereof (the "Claims  Notice") to  Indemnitor.  The Claims  Notice shall
include a description in reasonable  detail of any claim or the commencement (or
threatened  commencement)  of  any  action,   proceeding  or  investigation  (an
"Asserted  Liability")  against  Indemnitee,   and  shall  indicate  the  amount
(estimated,  if  necessary)  of the Losses  that have been or may be suffered by
Indemnitee.  Failure of Indemnitee to promptly give notice  hereunder  shall not
affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that Indemnitor
demonstrates  actual damage caused by such failure.  Upon Indemnitor's  request,
Indemnitee  shall provide  Indemnitor with full and  unrestricted  access to all
books and records  relating to the Asserted  Liability,  and to all employees or
other persons who are knowledgeable about such Asserted  Liability,  in order to
allow Indemnitor to audit the status of such Asserted Liability and the payments
that have been, or will be, made with respect thereto.

     Section 10.4  Opportunity to Defend.  Indemnitor may elect to compromise or
defend,  at its own  expense and by its own  counsel,  any  Asserted  Liability;
provided,  however,  that  Indemnitor  may not compromise or settle any Asserted
Liability without the consent of Indemnitee, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld,  unless such compromise or settlement requires no more than a monetary
payment for which Indemnitee and any other  indemnifiable  parties hereunder are
fully  indemnified or involves other matters not binding upon Indemnitee or such
other  indemnifiable  parties. If Indemnitor elects to compromise or defend such
Asserted  Liability,  it shall  within 15 days (or sooner,  if the nature of the
Asserted  Liability so requires)  notify  Indemnitee  of its intent to do so and
Indemnitee  shall  cooperate  in the  compromise  of, or defense  against,  such
Asserted  Liability.  If  Indemnitor  elects  not to  compromise  or defend  any
Asserted  Liability,  fails to  notify  Indemnitee  of its  election  as  herein
provided or contests its obligation to indemnify, Indemnitee may pay, compromise
or defend such  Asserted  Liability  without  prejudice to any right it may have
hereunder.  In any event, each of Indemnitor and Indemnitee may participate,  at
its own expense, in the defense of any Asserted Liability in respect of which it
may have an  indemnification  obligation  hereunder.  If either party chooses to
defend or  participate in the defense of any Asserted  Liability,  it shall have
the right to receive from the other party any books,  records or other documents
within such party's control that are necessary or appropriate for such defense.

     Section 10.5 Contribution. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding,
Indemnitor  agrees  that in light  of his  relationship  to  Parent  and  Merger
Subsidiary,  he  shall  not  have  any  right  to seek  any  indemnification  or
contribution  from  or  remedy  against  Parent  or  Merger  Subsidiary  for any
inaccuracy  in any  representation  or  warranty,  or breach of any  covenant or
agreement, of Parent or Merger Subsidiary contained herein.

                                ESCROW AGREEMENT

     THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of ___________________,
2000 by and among ProCare Industries,  Ltd., a Colorado corporation ("ProCare"),
Robert W. Marsik  ("Pledgor"),  and Robert DiMinico (the "Escrow  Agent"),  with
respect to the following facts:

     A.  Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August __, 2000
by and among ProCare,  FastPoint  Acquisition Corp., a Delaware  corporation and
wholly-owned   subsidiary   of   ProCare   ("Merger   Subsidiary"),    FastPoint
Communications,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation  ("FastPoint"),  and Pledgor (the
"Merger  Agreement"),  on the date hereof Merger  Subsidiary is merging into and
with FastPoint (the "Merger").

     B.  Pledgor  has  agreed,  under  the  terms of  Article  10 of the  Merger
Agreement,  to  indemnify,  defend  and hold  harmless  ProCare  and each of its
affiliates from  liabilities of ProCare existing as of the effective date of the
Merger.

     C. It is a condition  precedent to the Merger  Agreement that Pledgor enter
into this Agreement in order to secure its indemnity  obligations  under Article
10 of the Merger Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE,  subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and
on the basis of the premises,  covenants and undertakings  contained herein, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. ESCROW FUND

                1.1 Delivery of Escrow Fund.

                  (a)  Pledgor  hereby   delivers  to  the  Escrow  Agent,   and
             authorizes  and  directs the Escrow  Agent to hold  pursuant to the
             terms  and  conditions  of this  Agreement,  certificate(s)  number
             __________  representing  125,000  shares  of the  common  stock of
             ProCare  owned by Pledgor  (the  "Shares"),  together  with a stock
             power  duly   executed  in  blank,   receipt  of  which  hereby  is
             acknowledged.  Such delivery constitutes a pledge by Pledgor of the
             Shares for the benefit of ProCare.

                  (b) The Shares and any other  property  which may be delivered
             to the Escrow  Agent under  Section 1.2 hereof shall be held by the
             Escrow  Agent  as  security  for  the   performance   of  Pledgor's
             obligations under Article 10 of the Merger Agreement.

          1.2  Additional  Collateral.  Pledgor  shall  deliver  or  cause to be
delivered  to the Escrow  Agent,  and hereby  authorizes  and directs the Escrow
Agent to hold  pursuant  to the  terms and  conditions  of this  Agreement,  all
distributions  made during the term hereof on the Shares and all  proceeds  from
the sale of the Shares, in each case whether in the form of securities,  cash or
other property, as additional  collateral subject to this Agreement.  The Shares
and all  distributions  on and  proceeds  from the sale of the  Shares  shall be
referred to herein as the "Escrow Fund." Pledgor shall not be permitted to sell,
transfer, assign,  hypothecate,  pledge or otherwise alienate all or any portion
of the Shares or other  securities  included  in the Escrow  Fund,  without  the
written  consent of ProCare.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Pledgor shall be
permitted to sell all or a portion of the Shares or other securities included in
the Escrow Fund in a bona fide, arms'-length  transaction,  provided that at the
closing of such sale,  Pledgor  delivers to the Escrow Agent the proceeds of the
sale (whether such  proceeds are cash,  securities or other  property or rights)
and a written  representation that such proceeds constitute 100% of the proceeds
from  the  sale  and  that  such  sale  constitutes  a bona  fide,  arms'-length
transaction.  The proceeds so delivered to the Escrow Agent shall become part of
the Escrow Fund.

          1.3 Investment of Cash.  The portion of the Escrow Fund  consisting of
cash, if any, shall be invested and reinvested by the Escrow Agent in accordance
with the written instructions of Pledgor, subject to the following limitations:

                                  designate; and

                      required   under  this   Agreement   (provided  that  such
                      distributions  satisfy all the  conditions  required to be

                      from any such sale or  redemption;  provided  that, in the
                      event the Escrow Agent  intends to sell or redeem any such
                      investment,  the Escrow  Agent  shall  notify  Pledgor and
                      ProCare at least three (3)  business  days prior to taking
                      any action to cause such sale or redemption.

                      (d)  Income,  if any,  resulting  from the  investment  of
                      Escrow  Fund shall be  retained  by the  Escrow  Agent and
                      shall be considered,  for all purposes of this  Agreement,
                      to be part of the Escrow Fund.

additional  shares of the  capital  stock of ProCare  held by the  Escrow  Agent
hereunder  on each issue  presented  to the  shareholders  of ProCare,  and (ii)
Pledgor shall have the right to receive all cash  distributions  thereon subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 1.2.

                                       3

          1.5 Notice of Claims.  If ProCare  wishes to make a claim  against the
Escrow Fund, ProCare shall give a written notice to Pledgor and the Escrow Agent
of such claim (a "Demand  Notice").  The Demand  Notice shall  include a summary
description of the factual bases for the claim and the amount of the claim (or a
reasonable  estimate thereof,  if not known with certainty).  Pledgor shall have
the right to contest any claim  described in a Demand  Notice by giving  written
notice to ProCare and the Escrow Agent within  twenty (20)  calendar days of the
Demand Notice (a "Dispute Notice"). In the event Pledgor does not give a Dispute
Notice  within  such  twenty  (20) day  period,  the  description  of the  claim
contained in the Demand Notice (including, but not limited to, the factual bases
therefor  and the amount of the claim or the estimate  thereof)  shall be deemed
conclusively to be true and complete;  provided,  however, that ProCare shall be
entitled thereafter to submit additional Demand Notices pursuant to this Section
1.5 with respect to the same claims as were  described  in such  initial  Demand
Notice and Pledgor  shall have the right to contest any such  additional  demand
Notice, all as set forth above.

          1.6 Distributions to ProCare.

                      (a) If  Pledgor  shall  fail to  timely  deliver a Dispute
                      Notice  with  respect  to any  claim set forth in a Demand
                      Notice,  the Escrow  Agent shall  deliver to ProCare  that
                      portion of the Escrow  Fund which has a value  (determined
                      pursuant to Section  1.8,  in the case of that  portion of
                      the Escrow Fund consisting of shares or other  securities)
                      equal as nearly as  practicable  to the value of the claim
                      as set forth in the Demand Notice.

                      (b) If Pledgor shall timely  deliver a Dispute Notice with
                      respect  to any claim set  forth in a Demand  Notice,  the
                      Escrow  Agent  shall make a  distribution  from the Escrow
                      Fund  to  ProCare   only  in   accordance   with   written
                      instructions  jointly  signed by ProCare  and Pledgor or a
                      written  order of a court of competent  jurisdiction.  The
                      portion of the Escrow Fund to be so distributed shall have
                      a value  (determined  pursuant to Section 1.8, in the case
                      of that portion of the Escrow Fund consisting of shares or
                      other  securities)  equal as nearly as  practicable to the
                      value of the claim as set forth in the Demand Notice.

                      (c) No  fractional  shares  shall  be  distributed  by the
                      Escrow Agent to ProCare.  In lieu of the  distribution  of
                      fractional  shares, the number of shares to be distributed
                      shall  be  rounded  off to the  nearest  whole  number  of
                      shares.

          1.7  Distributions  to Pledgor.  The Escrow Agent shall  distribute to
Pledgor  the  balance  of the  Escrow  Fund (in the form then held) on the first
anniversary of the date hereof (the "Distribution  Date").  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  any portion of the Escrow Fund to be  distributed  to Pledgor on the
Distribution  Date shall be reduced by that portion of the Escrow Fund which has
a value (determined  pursuant to Section 1.8, in the case of that portion of the
Escrow  Fund  consisting  of  shares  or other  securities)  equal as  nearly as
practicable to the aggregate  claims set forth in any unresolved  Demand Notice.
Thereafter,  the Escrow Agent shall make a distribution  from the Escrow Fund to
Pledgor only in accordance with written  instructions  jointly signed by ProCare
and Pledgor or a written order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The portion
of the Escrow Fund to be so distributed shall have a value (determined  pursuant
to Section  1.8, in the case of that  portion of the Escrow Fund  consisting  of
shares or other  securities)  equal as nearly as practicable to the value of the
claim as set forth in the Demand Notice.

          1.8 Valuation of Escrow Fund. The value of shares or other  securities
included in the Escrow Fund shall be determined  for purposes of this  Agreement
by an investment banker of national  reputation  mutually  acceptable to ProCare
and  Pledgor;  provided  that  if  ProCare  and  Pledgor  cannot  agree  on such
investment  banker,  each party shall  select an  investment  banker and the two
investment  bankers  so  selected  shall  select a third  investment  banker  of
national  reputation;  and provided  further  that if either  ProCare or Pledgor
shall fail to select an investment  banker as aforesaid  within five days of the
written  request  therefor by the other,  the investment  banker selected by the
requesting party shall make the  determination of value required by this Section
1.8. The investment banker shall make the determination of value by reference to
the price which ProCare would realize,  net of all costs and expenses,  from the
private sale of such shares or other securities,  taking into account the effect
of such sale on the market  price of  ProCare's  common  stock,  a discount  for
non-marketability,  if any, and such other factors as such investment banker may
deem appropriate.

          1.9 Duties of the Escrow Agent.

                      (a) Notwithstanding  anything herein to the contrary,  the
                      Escrow Agent shall  retain and promptly  dispose of all or
                      any  part of the  Escrow  Fund  in  accordance  with  this
                      Agreement.  The Escrow  Agent  shall not be liable for any
                      act or omission to act under this Agreement, including any
                      and all claims made  against the Escrow  Agent as a result
                      of its holding the Escrow  Fund,  except for its own gross
                      negligence  or willful  misconduct.  ProCare and  Pledgor,
                      jointly and severally,  shall  indemnify and hold harmless
                      the Escrow  Agent  from and  against  any and all  claims,
                      losses,  costs,  liabilities,   damages,  suits,  demands,
                      judgments  or  expenses  (including,  but not  limited to,
                      reasonable attorneys' fees)(the "Damages") claimed against
                      or incurred by the Escrow Agent arising out of or related,
                      directly or indirectly, to this Agreement,  except acts of
                      gross negligence or willful  misconduct.  The Escrow Agent
                      may  decline to act and shall not be liable for failure to
                      act if in doubt as to its duties under this Agreement. The
                      Escrow  Agent  may act upon any  instrument  or  signature
                      believed  by it to be  genuine  and may  assume  that  any
                      person  purporting  to  give  any  notice  or  instruction
                      hereunder, reasonably believed by it to be authorized, has
                      been duly  authorized to do so. The Escrow  Agent's duties
                      shall be determined  only with reference to this Agreement
                      and  applicable  laws, and the Escrow Agent is not charged
                      with  knowledge  of or any duties or  responsibilities  in
                      connection   with  any  other   document   or   agreement,
                      including,  but not limited to, the Purchase Agreement. In
                      the event that the Escrow  Agent shall be  uncertain as to
                      its duties or rights hereunder,  the Escrow Agent shall be
                      entitled to refrain  from taking any action  other than to
                      keep  safely  the Escrow  Fund until it shall (i)  receive
                      written instructions signed by ProCare and Pledgor or (ii)
                      is   directed   otherwise   by  a   court   of   competent
                      jurisdiction.

                      (b)  The  Escrow  Agent  may  act  in  reliance  upon  any
                      instructions  signed with a signature believed by it to be
                      genuine,  and may  assume  that  any  person  who has been
                      designated  by  ProCare  or  Pledgor  to give any  written
                      instructions, notice or receipt, or make any statements in
                      connection  with the  provisions  hereof,  has  been  duly
                      authorized  to do so. The Escrow  Agent shall have no duty
                      to  make  inquiry  as  to  the  genuineness,  accuracy  or
                      validity  of  any  statements  or   instructions   or  any
                      signatures on statements or instructions.

                      (c) The Escrow  Agent  shall have the right at any time to
                      resign   hereunder  by  giving   written   notice  of  its
                      resignation  to ProCare and Pledgor,  at the addresses set
                      forth  herein or at such  other  address  as such  parties
                      shall provide, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date
                      specified  for such  resignation  to take effect.  In such
                      event,  ProCare  and  Pledgor  shall  appoint a  successor
                      escrow agent within said thirty (30) days.  If a successor
                      escrow agent is not  designated  within such  period,  the
                      Escrow  Agent  may  appoint  a  successor   escrow  agent;
                      provided,  however, that such successor escrow agent shall
                      be  acceptable  to ProCare  and Pledgor and shall agree to
                      abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Upon
                      the effective  date of such  resignation,  the Escrow Fund
                      shall be delivered by it to such  successor  escrow agent.
                      In the event the Escrow Agent does not appoint a successor
                      escrow  agent  within  thirty  (30) days,  the Escrow Fund
                      shall  be  delivered  to and  deposited  with a  court  of
                      competent  jurisdiction to act as successor  escrow agent.
                      Upon the  delivery  of the Escrow  Fund  pursuant  to this
                      Section  1.8(c) to a successor  escrow  agent,  the Escrow
                      Agent  shall  be   relieved   of  all  further   liability
                      hereunder.

                      (d) In the event that the Escrow  Agent should at any time
                      be confronted with  inconsistent or conflicting  claims or
                      demands by the parties hereto, the Escrow Agent shall have
                      the  right to  interplead  said  parties  in any  court of
                      competent   jurisdiction   and  request  that  such  court
                      determine  the  respective  rights  of such  parties  with
                      respect to this  Agreement  and, upon doing so, the Escrow
                      Agent shall be released from any  obligations or liability
                      to either  party as a  consequence  of any such  claims or
                      demands.

                      (e) The  Escrow  Agent may  execute  any of its  powers or
                      responsibilities   hereunder   and   exercise  any  rights
                      hereunder,  either directly or by or through its agents or
                      attorneys.  The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible  for
                      and shall not be under a duty to examine,  inquire into or
                      pass  upon the  validity,  binding  effect,  execution  or
                      sufficiency  of  this  Agreement  or of any  amendment  or
                      supplement hereto.

          1.10 No Escrow Fee. The Escrow Agent  acknowledges  and agrees that he
is performing his services  hereunder as an accommodation to ProCare and Pledgor
and  accordingly he shall not be entitled to any fees or expense  reimbursements
hereunder.

          2.2  Entire  Agreement.   This  Agreement  and  the  Merger  Agreement
constitute the entire  agreement and  supersedes all other prior  agreements and
understandings,  both written and oral, among the parties,  or any of them, with
respect  to the  subject  matter  hereof,  and may not be  amended  except by an
instrument  in  writing  signed on behalf of each of the  parties  hereto and in
compliance with applicable law.

          2.3  Interpretation.  The headings contained in this Agreement are for
reference  purposes  only  and  shall  not  affect  in any  way the  meaning  or
interpretation of this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless a contrary intention
appears,  (i) the words  "herein",  "hereof" and  "hereunder" and other words of
similar  import  refer to this  Agreement  as a whole and not to any  particular
Article,  Section or other  subdivision  and (ii)  reference  to any  Article or
Section  means such Article or Section  hereof.  No provision of this  Agreement
shall be interpreted  or construed  against any party hereto solely because such
party or its legal representative drafted such provision.

          2.4 Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is
invalid,  illegal or  incapable  of being  enforced by any rule of law or public
policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless
remain in full force and effect.

          2.5 Governing Law. This  Agreement  shall be governed by and construed
in  accordance  with  the  substantive  and  procedural  laws  of the  State  of
California  applicable to agreements  made and to be performed  entirely  within
such State. Any action, suit,  arbitration or other proceeding arising out of or
related  to this  Agreement  shall  be  conducted  only in Los  Angeles  County,
California.  Each party hereby irrevocably  consents and submits to the personal
jurisdiction  of and  venue in United  States  District  Court  for the  Central
District of California  and in the Superior  Court and  Municipal  Court for Los
Angeles County in any action, suit,  arbitration or other proceeding arising out
of or related to this  Agreement.  If any  action,  suit,  arbitration  or other
proceeding  arising  out of or related  to this  Agreement  is  brought  for the
enforcement  of this  Agreement,  the  successful or  prevailing  party shall be
entitled to recover reasonable  attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in that
action  or  proceeding,  in  addition  to any  other  relief  to which it may be
entitled.

          2.6  Counterparts.  This  Agreement  may be  executed  in two or  more
counterparts,  each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which
shall constitute one and the same agreement.

          2.7 Further Assurances.  Each party hereto shall, from time to time at
and after the date hereof,  execute and deliver such instruments,  documents and
assurances  and take such further  actions as the other parties  reasonably  may
request to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement.

          2.8 Injunctive  Relief.  Each of the parties hereto  acknowledges  and
agrees that it would be  difficult  to fully  compensate  the other  parties for
damages  resulting from the breach or threatened breach of any provision of this
Agreement and,  accordingly,  that each party shall be entitled to temporary and
injunctive  relief,   including  temporary   restraining   orders,   preliminary
injunctions and permanent  injunctions,  to enforce such provisions  without the
necessity  of  proving  actual  damages  or being  required  to post any bond or
undertaking in connection  with any such action.  This provision with respect to
injunctive  relief shall not  diminish,  however,  the right of any party to any
other relief or to claim and recover damages.

                         FASTPOINT COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
                          COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

THESE  SECURITIES AND THE SECURITIES  ISSUABLE UPON THEIR EXERCISE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED  UNDER THE SECURITIES  ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"),  OR UNDER
THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED  UNLESS (I)
SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS COVERED BY AN EFFECTIVE  REGISTRATION  STATEMENT  UNDER
THE ACT AND AN EFFECTIVE  QUALIFICATION  UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS,
(II) SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT, OR
(III) THE ISSUER  RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL  SATISFACTORY  TO THE ISSUER TO
THE EFFECT  THAT SUCH SALE OR  TRANSFER  IS EXEMPT  FROM SUCH  REGISTRATION  AND
QUALIFICATION.

     1.  Issuance.  For  good  and  valuable  consideration,   the  receipt  and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by FASTPOINT COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a
Delaware  corporation  (the  "Company"),  PROCARE  INDUSTRIES,  LTD., a Colorado
corporation  (the  "Holder") is hereby granted the right to purchase at any time
until 5:00 P.M.,  Los Angeles  time,  on  September  __,  2005 (the  "Expiration
Date"), twenty-five thousand (25,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares of the
Company's common stock (the "Common Stock"), at an exercise price per share (the
"Exercise Price") of $3.50, subject to adjustment as set forth herein.

     2. Exercise of Warrants. This Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at
any time and from time to time until the  Expiration  Date at the Exercise Price
per share of Common Stock payable hereunder,  payable in cash or by certified or
official  bank check,  or by "cashless  exercise,"  by means of  tendering  this
Warrant Certificate to the Company to receive a number of shares of Common Stock
equal in Market Value (as defined  below) to the  difference  between the Market
Value of the shares of Common Stock  issuable  upon exercise of this Warrant and
the  total  cash  exercise  price  thereof.   Upon  surrender  of  this  Warrant
Certificate  with the  annexed  Notice  of  Exercise  Form  duly  completed  and
executed,  together with payment of the Exercise  Price for the shares of Common
Stock  purchased,  the Holder  shall be  entitled  to receive a  certificate  or
certificates  for the shares of Common Stock so  purchased.  For the purposes of
this  Section 2,  "Market  Value" shall be an amount equal to the product of (A)
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon surrender of this Warrant
Certificate,  and (B) the average  closing  price of the Common Stock (or, if no
closing  price is  available,  the average of the bid and asked  prices) for the
five (5) trading  days  preceding  the  Company's  receipt of the duly  executed
Notice of  Exercise  form as quoted by Nasdaq or, if not quoted on Nasdaq,  such
value as may be determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors.

     3.  Reservation  of Shares.  The  Company  hereby  agrees that at all times
during the term of this  Warrant  there  shall be  reserved  for  issuance  upon
exercise of this  Warrant  such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be
required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant (the "Warrant Shares").

     4.  Mutilation or Loss of Warrant.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
satisfactory  to it of the  loss,  theft,  destruction  or  mutilation  of  this
Warrant,  and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction)  receipt of reasonably
satisfactory indemnification, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant
of like tenor and date and any such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant
shall thereupon become void.

     5.  Rights of the  Holder.  The Holder  shall  not,  by virtue  hereof,  be
entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or equity,
and the rights of the Holder are limited to those  expressed in this Warrant and
are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

     6. Adjustments.

          6.1  Reorganization,  Reclassification,  Common Stock, Etc. In case of
any capital reorganization,  or of any reclassification of the capital stock, of
the Company  (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value
or from no par value to par value or as a result of a split-up  or  combination)
or in case of the  consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other
entity  (other  than a  consolidation  or  merger in which  the  Company  is the
surviving  corporation  and which  does not  result in the  Common  Stock  being
changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities or property of any other
person),  or of the sale of the  properties  and  assets of the  Company  as, or
substantially  as, an entirety to any other entity,  this Warrant  shall,  after
such capital reorganization,  reclassification of capital stock,  consolidation,
merger or sale,  entitle the Holder to purchase the kind and number of shares of
stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the entity resulting
from such  consolidation or surviving such merger or to which such sale shall be
made, as the case may be, to which the holder hereof would have been entitled if
it had held the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof immediately prior
to   such   capital   reorganization,   reclassification   of   capital   stock,
consolidation,  merger or sale, and in any such case appropriate provision shall
be made in good faith by the Board of  Directors  with respect to the rights and
interests  of the  Holder  to the end that  the  provisions  hereof  (including,
without  limitation,  provisions for adjustment of the number or class of shares
purchasable  upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall  thereafter be applicable,
as nearly as may be in  relation  to any shares of stock,  securities  or assets
thereafter  deliverable upon the exercise of the rights represented  hereby. The
Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to
or simultaneously  with the consummation  thereof the successor entity (if other
than the Company)  resulting from such consolidation or merger entity purchasing
such assets shall assume by written instrument  executed and mailed or delivered
to the  Holder,  the  obligation  to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock,
securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder
may be entitled to purchase.

          6.2.  In case the  Company  shall,  at any time  after  the date  this
Warrant was first issued,  with respect to all of the holders of its outstanding
Common Stock (i) declare a dividend on the  outstanding  Common Stock payable in
shares  or  rights  to  acquire  shares of  Common  Stock,  (ii)  subdivide  the
outstanding  Common  Stock,  (iii) combine the  outstanding  Common Stock into a
smaller  number of  shares,  or (iv) issue any  shares of its  capital  stock by
reclassification  of the Common Stock  (including any such  reclassification  in
connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation  but  excluding  the events  set forth in Section  6.1 hereof or the
issuance of shares of Common  Stock by the Company in  connection  with a merger
when  the  Company  is the  surviving  corporation  of the  Merger  and no  such
reclassification  of the Common Stock has  occurred),  then,  in each case,  the
Exercise  Price and the number of shares  issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
in effect at the time of the record date for such  dividend or of the  effective
date  of  such  subdivision,   combination,   or   reclassification,   shall  be
proportionately adjusted so that the Holder after such time shall be entitled to
receive the aggregate  number and kind of shares which, if this Warrant had been
exercised immediately prior to such time, it would have owned upon such exercise
and  been  entitled  to  receive  by  virtue  of  such  dividend,   subdivision,
combination,  or  reclassification.  Such adjustment shall be made  successively
whenever any event listed above shall occur.

     7.  Taxes.  The  Company  shall  not be  required  to pay any tax or  taxes
attributable to the issuance of this Warrant or of Warrant Shares.

     8. No Limitation on Corporate  Action. No provisions of this Warrant and no
right or option granted or conferred hereunder shall in any way limit, affect or
abridge the exercise by the Company of any of its corporate  rights or powers to
recapitalize, amend its Certification of Incorporation,  reorganize, consolidate
or merge with or into another  entity,  or to  transfer,  all or any part of its
property or assets,  or the  exercise or any other of its  corporate  rights and
powers.
