        hereafter. All such other liabilities and obligations shall be retained

        iii) Any state, local or federal taxes resulting from the sale of the

        i)   The purchase price for the Purchased Assets (the "Purchase Price")
             shall be the value of the Assumed Liabilities.

        ii)  The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets as
             agreed by the parties, such agreement to be completed prior to the
             day of closing. Buyer and Seller shall reflect such allocation in
             any filing pursuant to Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code or

             among the Purchased Assets as agreed by the parties, such agreement
             to be completed prior to the day of closing. Buyer and Seller shall
             reflect such allocation in any filing pursuant to Section 1060 of
             the Internal Revenue Code or any regulation thereafter.

    e)  Incentive Payment. As an inducement to achieve a certain level of
        pre-tax profits in the year 2002, a Pre-Tax Payout shall be paid to
        Seller as follows:

        i)   Seller's business has a three-year profit object to achieve a $3.3
             million pre-tax profit for calendar year 2002 which shall be
             calculated according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principals,
             shall be included in the consolidated financials of Buyer, and
             shall include reasonable charges for accounting, legal and other
             charges directly incurred by Seller, whether paid by Seller or by
             Buyer on behalf of Seller (the "Pre-Tax Profit").

        ii)  Based on the amount of Pre-Tax Profit, Buyer will pay to Seller's
             representatives as defined in 1(e)(ii) below, the following
             amounts:

             Pre-Tax Profit (before Pre-Tax Payout) % of Pre-Tax Profit

<PAGE>

                 Paid to Seller

             $3,300,000.00 and above            50%

             $3,299,999,99 - $2,800,000.0       40%

             $2,799,999.99 - $2,400,000.00      30%

             $2,399,999.99 - $2,000,000.00      20%

             $1,999,999.99 - $1,500,000.00      10%

             No Pre-Tax Payout shall be made if the Pre-Tax Profit does not
             exceed $1,499,999.99.

        iii) Should Buyer fund Seller's working capital needs in excess of
             $750,000 for the period from Closing through December 31, 2002,
             such amounts funded in excess of $750,000 shall be deducted from
             the Pre-Tax Profit before payout when determining the Pre-Tax
             Payout calculation. (For example, if the Pre-Tax Profit before
             payout is $3,000,000.00 and Buyer has funded $1,000,000 of Seller's
             working capital, the Pre-Tax Profit before payout for purposes of
             the Pre-Tax Payout plan calculation shall be $2,750,000.00.)

        iv)  For any Pre-Tax Payout by Buyer, Seller agrees that such payment
             should be made not directly to Seller but that 40% of such payout
             should be made by Buyer to Don Cantral and 60% should be made to
             the Seller's management team, with such management team at the time
             of the payout, if any, and the percentages of the payout to each
             member of such management team, being determined by Buyer's
             Executive Management team.

        v)   The Pre-Tax Payout, if any, shall be made on or before April 15,
             2003 and may be made in the common stock of Buyer or in cash, at
             Buyer's sole option. Should Buyer choose to make the Pre-Tax
             Payout, if any, in the form of Buyer's common stock, the number of
             shares paid out shall be calculated using a daily average of
             Buyer's common stock during each business day of February 2003.

             (1)  For the purposes herein, the value of Buyer's common stock
                  shall be determined as follows:

                  (a)  If the security is listed for trading on one or more
                       national security exchanges (including NASDAQ), the
                       reported price of such security on each of the dates in
                       question, or if such security shall not have been traded
                       on such dates, the reported last price on such exchange
                       on the first day prior thereto on which such security was
                       so traded; or

                  (b)  If the security is not traded for trading on a national
                       security exchange (including NASDAQ), but is traded in
                       the over the counter market, the mean of the highest and
                       lowest prices for such security on each of the dates in
                       question, or if there are no such bid prices for such
                       security on such dates, the mean of the highest and
                       lowest bid prices on the first date prior thereto on
                       which such prices existed; or

                  (c)  If neither (a) nor (b) immediately above is applicable,
                       the value of such security shall mean the book value per
                       share of the common shares of Seller as of such date. The
                       term "book

<PAGE>

                       value per share" shall mean the net book value of Seller
                       as is determined by the Seller's independent certified
                       public accountants in accordance with generally accepted
                       accounting principals consistently applied divided by the
                       number of the outstanding shares of common stock of
                       Seller.

    f)  Bonus Pool.

        i)   Buyer will pay to the management team of Seller (which management
             team shall specifically exclude Don Cantral whose bonus, if any, is
             specifically covered in an Employment Agreement by and between Don
             Cantral and Buyer dated ________, 2000), with such management team
             being determined by Buyer's Executive Management team, 5% of the
             Seller's profit before tax (the "Bonus Pool"), with such profit
             before tax being calculated according to Generally Accepted
             Accounting Principals, shall be included in the consolidated
             financials of Buyer, and shall include reasonable charges for
             accounting, legal and other charges directly incurred by Seller,
             whether paid by Seller or by Buyer on behalf of Seller, in each of
             the calendar years 2000 and 2001.

        ii)  However, such Bonus Pool, if any, shall only be paid by Buyer for
             calendar year 2000 if such profit before tax for that year is at
             least $150,000.00 and shall only be paid for calendar year 2001 if
             pre-tax profit for that year is at least $750,000.00.

        iii) The Bonus Pool, if any, for 2000 shall be paid by Buyer on or
             before March 31, 2001 and the Bonus Pool, if any, for 2001 shall be
             paid by Buyer on or before March 31, 2002. There shall not be a
             Bonus Pool as described in this section for the calendar year 2002.
             Any bonuses paid to the management team of Seller in calendar year
             2002 shall be governed under paragraph 1e, Incentive Payment.

    g)  Closing. The closing (the "Closing") of the purchase and sale of the
        Purchased Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities hereunder
        shall take place at the offices of Buyer in El Segundo, California, at
        10:00 a.m. on or before April 30, 2000, or at such other time or place
        as Buyer and Seller may agree.

    h)  Seller and Buyer shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement
        substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and Seller shall
        deliver to Buyer such general warranty deeds, bills of sale,
        endorsements, consents, assignments and other good and sufficient
        instruments of conveyance and assignment (the "Conveyance Documents") as
        the parties and their respective counsel shall deem reasonably necessary
        or appropriate to vest in Buyer all right, title and interest in, to and
        under the Purchased Assets.

    i)  Seller shall deliver to Buyer a certified copy of the resolution by the
        Seller's board of directors certifying that Seller has authorized the
        execution, delivery of performance and the transaction contemplated
        herein and authorizing the officers of Seller to execute this Agreement.

             tax or additional amount imposed by any governmental authority
             (domestic or foreign) responsible for the imposition of any such
             tax.

    b)  Tax Cooperation: Allocation of Taxes.

        i)   Buyer and Seller agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each
             other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information
             and assistance relating to the Purchased Assets as is reasonably
             necessary for the filing of all Tax returns, and making of any
             election related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any
             taxing authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit
             or proceeding relating to any Tax return. Seller and Buyer shall
             cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other
             proceeding related to Taxes involving the Purchased Assets and each
             shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other
             documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Section.

        ii)  All real property taxes, personal property taxes and similar ad
             valorem obligations (except for those Taxes which are accrued on
             Seller's financial statements delivered to Buyer hereunder, which
             taxes shall constitute a portion of the Assumed Liabilities) levied
             with respect to the Purchased Assets for a taxable period which
             includes (but does not end on) the Proration Date (collectively,
             the "Apportioned Obligations") shall be apportioned between Seller
             and Buyer as of the Proration Date and accrued on Seller's
             financial statements delivered to Buyer hereunder based on the
             number of days of such taxable period included in the Pre-Closing
             Tax Period and the number of days of such taxable period included
             in the Post-Closing Period. Seller shall be liable for the
             proportionate amount of such taxes that is attributable to the
             Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Buyer shall be liable for the
             proportionate amount of such taxes that is attributable to the
             Post-Closing Tax Period. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing,
             Seller and Buyer shall present a statement to the other setting
             forth the amount of the tax liability so accrued under this Section
             (4)(b)(ii) together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably
             necessary to calculate the proration amount. The proration amount
             shall to the extent such adjustment would have resulted in a net
             worth adjustment at the Closing Date, be used to calculate an
             adjustment to the purchase price under Section (1)(d)(i).
             Thereafter, Seller shall notify Buyer upon receipt of any bill for
             real or personal property taxes relating to the Purchased Assets,
             part or all of which are attributable to the Post-Closing Tax
             Period, and shall promptly deliver such bill to Buyer who shall pay
             the same to the appropriate taxing authority, provided that if such
             bill covers a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Seller shall also remit prior
             to the due date of assessment to Buyer payment for the
             proportionate amount of such bill that is attributable to the
             Pre-Closing Tax Period shall constitute another adjustment under
             Section (1)(d)(i).

                             5) COVENANTS OF SELLER

    a)  No Solicitations. Unless and until the occurrence of an Event of

<PAGE>

        Default by Buyer under any instrument evidencing or securing any
        indebtedness which arose in connection with the transaction contemplated
        hereby, Seller and each of the principal shareholders of Seller, shall
        not, for a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date, employ
        or solicit, either directly or indirectly, the performance of services
        by any employee of Seller employed by the Seller on or after March 31,
        2000.

    b)  Telephone Numbers. Seller will make commercially reasonable efforts to
        assist Buyer in transferring Seller's current telephone and facsimile
        numbers to Buyer as of the Closing Date.

    c)  Name. Seller shall allow Buyer to use the name "Western Technology
        Group" and "WesTech" at no cost to Buyer, for such time as Buyer deems
        necessary.

    d)  Utilities. Seller will make commercially reasonable efforts to assist

        it shall be obligated for charges for Utilities incurred subsequent to

        business in which Don Cantral is an officer, director or in which Mr.
        Cantral has a one-third or greater equity interest (collectively, the
        "Non-Competing Entities"), will not engage in sales activities competing
        with the Business. If any Customer requests sales of Business products
        or services from Seller for three (3) years from the Closing Date,
        Seller will refer such Customer to Buyer. As used herein, "sales
        activities" shall mean selling, leasing, taking orders, soliciting
        orders or contacting Customers of Seller, as such Customers exist on the
        books and records of the Seller as of the Closing Date. This covenant
        not to compete shall automatically terminate and be of no further force
        and effect upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Buyer under
        this Agreement or under any instrument evidencing or securing
        indebtedness which arose as part of the transaction contemplated hereby.
        The parties specifically acknowledge that an employment agreement is
        being entered into simultaneously with the signing of this Agreement by
        and between Don Cantral and Buyer.

        iii) any claim first made or litigation instituted by a third party
             relating to Seller's conduct of the Business notice for which claim
             or litigation is received by Buyer or Seller subsequent to the
             Closing Date;

        iv)  any taxes imposed on Buyer, the Business or any of the Purchased
             Assets for any period subsequent to the Closing;

        v)   any and all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments or

        vi)  the breach by Buyer of any representations or warranties made by

             judgments, costs and expenses reasonably arising out of any of the

             the extent such losses shall arise in connection with or constitute
             Assumed Liabilities hereunder.

    c)  Indemnification Procedure.

        i)   Claims for Indemnification. Except for Third Party Claims described
             below, if an event giving rise to indemnification hereunder shall
             have occurred or is threatened, the indemnified party promptly
             shall deliver to the indemnifying party written notice thereof,
             stating that such event has occurred or is threatened, describing
             such event in reasonable detail and specifying or reasonably
             estimating the amount of the prospective Loss and the method of
             computation thereof (a "Claim"), all with reasonable particularity
             and containing a reference to the provisions of the this Agreement
             in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or has
             arisen (the "Notice of Claim"). For purposes hereof, any Claim for
             indemnification shall be deemed to have been made as of the date on
             which the Notice of Claim is delivered in accordance with the terms
             of this Section.

<PAGE>

        ii)  In the event the indemnifying party shall in good faith dispute the
             validity of all or any amount of a Claim for indemnification as set
             forth in the Notice of Claim, the indemnifying party shall, within
             thirty (30) days after delivery of the Notice of Claim, execute and
             deliver to the indemnified party a notice setting forth with
             reasonable particularity the grounds, amount of, and basis upon
             which the Claim is disputed (the "Dispute Statement").

        iii) In the event the Indemnifying party shall within thirty (30) days
             deliver to the indemnified party a Dispute Statement, then the
             portion of the claim described in the Notice of Claim disputed by
             the indemnifying party (the "Disputed Liability") shall not be due
             and payable except in accordance with a final and unappealable
             judgment or decision of a court or arbitration tribunal of
             competent jurisdiction, or a written agreement between the
             indemnifying party and the indemnified party stipulating the amount
             of the Admitted Liability (as defined below).

        iv)  In the event the indemnifying party shall not within thirty (30)
             days after receipt of the Notice of Claim deliver to the
             indemnified party a Dispute Statement identifying a Disputed
             liability, then the amount of the claim described in the Notice of
             Claim, or if a Dispute Statement is delivered, the portion thereof
             not disputed as a Disputed Liability, shall be deemed to be
             admitted (the "Admitted Liability") and shall, upon the incurring
             of an actual Loss arising therefrom, immediately be due and
             payable.

    d)  Settlement of Third Party Claims. If the indemnified party shall receive
        notice of any Claim by a third party which is or may be subject to
        indemnification (a "Third Party Claim"), the indemnified party shall
        give the indemnifying party prompt written notice of such Third Party
        Claim and shall permit the indemnifying party, at its option, to
        participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim by counsel of its
        own choice and at its expense. If, however, the indemnifying party
        acknowledges in writing to the indemnified party the indemnifying
        party's obligation to indemnify the indemnified party hereunder against
        all Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim (subject to the
        limitations set forth herein), then the indemnifying party shall be
        entitled, at its option, to assume and control the defense of such Third
        Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice after
        delivery of written notification.

        i)   In the event the indemnifying party exercises its right to
             undertake the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the
             indemnified party shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in
             such defense and make available to the indemnifying party, at the
             indemnifying party's expense, all witnesses, pertinent records,
             materials and information in its possession or under its control
             relating thereto as is reasonably required by the indemnifying
             party. However, no such Third Party Claim may be settled by the
             indemnifying party without the written consent of the indemnified
             party, unless the settlement involves only the payment of money by
             the indemnifying party. Similarly, no Third Party Claim shall be
             settled by the indemnified party without the written consent of the
             indemnifying party.

        ii)  In the event the indemnified party is, directly or indirectly,

<PAGE>

             conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the
             indemnifying party shall cooperate with the indemnified party in
             such defense and make available to it all such witnesses, records,
             materials and information in its possession or under its control
             relating thereto as is reasonably required by the indemnified
             party.

    e)  Limitations on Sellers Indemnification Notwithstanding anything
        contained herein to the contrary, the Seller's indemnification hereunder
        shall be subject to the following:

        i)   The Buyer shall be entitled to indemnification only if and to the
             extent that the aggregate indemnifiable damages exceed an amount
             greater than an amount which would, if known on the Closing Date
             would have resulted in an adjustment to the Purchase Price as
             determined pursuant to Section (1)(d).

                                7) MISCELLANEOUS

    a)  Conditions Precedent. This Agreement can be terminated by either party
        upon written notice to the other party, in the event that any of the

        ii)  Buyer shall have had an opportunity to conduct on-site due
             diligence at Seller's facilities and from such due diligence Buyer

             the financial condition of Seller as stated as of

    b)  Dispute Resolution.

             court for a judicial acceptance of the award and an order of
             enforcement, as the case may be. The prevailing party in any such
             proceeding shall be entitled to its actual attorneys' fees and all
             other costs in connection with the arbitration and enforcement of
             the arbiter's award.

        ii)  Either party may, without inconsistency with this Agreement, seek
             from a court any interim or provisional relief that may be
             necessary to protect the rights or property of that party, pending
             the establishment of the arbitral tribunal or pending the arbitral

        Re:    Counsel's Opinion Letter

Dear Mr. Cantral:

        In my capacity as Senior Vice President and General Counsel to
Wareforce.com, Inc. (the "Corporation") I have acted counsel to the Corporation
in connection with that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated ______________,
2000 by and between the Corporation and Western Technologies Group, LLC (the
"Purchase Agreement").

<PAGE>

        I have made such a factual and legal investigations as I deemed
necessary or relevant in connection with the opinions herein expressed.

        Based on the following, I am of the opinion that:

1)  The Corporation is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
    good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, with full
    power and authority to own its properties and to engage in their business as
    presently conducted or contemplated, and is duly qualified and in good
    standing as a foreign corporation under the laws of each jurisdiction in
    which it is authorized to do business except where such failure to qualify
    does not have a material adverse effect on the business or assets of the
    Corporation. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the
    Corporation has been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid
    and non-assessable and were not issued in violation of the preemptive rights
    of any person.

2)  Except as set forth herein or in any schedule or exhibit attached to the
    Purchase Agreement, I do not know or have any reasonable grounds to know of
    any litigation, proceeding, or government investigation pending against or
    related to the Corporation, its properties or business.

3)  All proceedings required by law or by the provisions of the Purchase
    Agreement to be taken by the Corporation and its shareholders in connection
    with the transactions provided for in the Purchase Agreement have been duly
    and valuably taken.

4)  Neither the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement nor the
    consummation of the transaction contemplated thereby (1) violates any
    provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (or other governing
    instrument) the Corporation; (2) breaches or constitutes a default (or an
    event) that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a
    default under any agreement of the Corporation with any other person to the
    extent that any such default would constitute a material adverse effect upon
    the Corporation; or (3) violates any statute, law, regulation, or rule or
    order applicable to the Corporation.

5)  No consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration, filing, or
    registration with, any state or federal authorities is required in
    connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Purchase
    Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated thereby.

                                            Very truly yours,

                                            /s/ Dan Ricketts
