                   possession;

                  all tax refunds which Seller is due;

                  all capital stock in Seller; and

1.3 PURCHASE PRICE; PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE. In addition to the Assumed
Liabilities described below, the aggregate consideration for the Subject Assets

follows:

     1.    $200,000 cash,
     2.    $100,000 (free-trading) shares (associated with a non-compete
          provision to be set forth in Employment Agreement),

          of Restricted Stock determined by using a stock price of the 10-day
          trailing average prior to closing); and
     4.    the execution of a $250,000 Secured Promissory Note ("Note") (the
          amount subject to any adjustments from section 1.7 herein) from Parent

          portion shall be 7.5% per annum; (ii) payments of accrued interest and
          principal shall be made over twelve (12) calendar quarters, with the

          Note that will be executed simultaneously with the execution of the

          Security Agreement. The Purchaser may elect to make the quarterly
          payments in cash or Freely Tradable common stock of the Parent. Should
          the Purchaser elect to pay the quarterly payments in Freely Tradable
          common stock of the Parent, the Parent will execute a Guaranty

obligations that arise from breaches thereof or defaults by Seller prior to the
Closing, all of which liabilities and obligations shall constitute "Specified
Retained Liabilities" and all such liabilities shall either be retained by
Seller or be fully paid prior to Closing. With respect to the Blanco National
Bank note # 11073, Buyer and Seller will make all reasonable efforts to transfer
the note obligations to the Subsidiary, and/or otherwise remove any personal
guarantee obligations from Robert C. McClung. In the event such transfer and/or
removal of obligation does not take place within ninety (90) days after the
closing date, Parent agrees to retire the note or otherwise remove Robert C.
McClung and Momentum Online from any obligation associated with the note.

Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer shall not assume or be obligated
under, or become liable for, any debt, liability, contract or obligation
whatsoever of Seller or the Business, and Seller shall be responsible for the
payment or performance and full discharge of all debts, liabilities, contracts
and obligations whatsoever of Seller, including those of the Business accruing
prior to the Closing and the Specified Retained Liabilities. In particular (and
by way only of example and not by way of limitation), Seller shall be and remain
solely responsible for, and shall timely pay or perform and discharge, all
debts, liabilities, contracts and obligations with respect to the Business other
than the Assumed Liabilities (collectively, together with those liabilities and
obligations described in Section 2.2 as constituting the same, "Specified
Retained Liabilities"): (i) ) any tax liability or obligation relating to
transactions or periods prior to and including the Closing Date (but excluding
any sales, use, transfer or other tax obligation resulting from the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, which Subsidiary hereby agrees to be responsible
for); (ii) any liability or obligation to Seller's employees for salaries and
wages whether relating to the termination of their employment or otherwise
arising, relating to periods prior to and including the Closing,; and (iii) any
legal claim or any other liability or obligation whatsoever incurred by Seller
relating to the Business for periods or occurrences prior to and including the
Closing Date, other than those specified in Section 1.5 above as included in
Assumed Liabilities.

1.6 ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate to determine
(in accordance with applicable U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated under
Section 1060 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, as amended, the allocation of
the Purchase Price and the liabilities of Seller (plus other relevant items)
among the Subject Assets as of the Closing Date. Such allocation shall be made
in a manner consistent with the fair market value of such assets. Each of the
parties will file all tax returns and information reports (including the IRS
Form 8594 and any disclosures that are required under Section 1060 of the
Internal Revenue Code) in a manner consistent with such allocation.

1.7 ADJUSTMENTS TO PURCHASE PRICE. The Purchase Price shall be subject to the
following additional credits and adjustments (either as additions or reductions
to the Purchase Price, as the case may be), which shall be reflected in the
closing statements to be executed and delivered by Buyer and Seller as
hereinafter provided: (a) Cash plus accounts receivable plus any prepaid
expenses, (including but not limited to taxes and other similar items directly
related to the Assumed Liabilities which shall be prorated at Closing) less (b)
trade accounts payable. The amount of this adjustment shall be identified as
Purchase Price Adjustment (PPA). At the end of the ninety-day period immediately
after Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall review the PPA and revise it as
follows:

     >>    Reduce or increase the PPA as the case may be by an amount equal to
          any customer accounts receivable purchased at Closing that are deemed
          uncollectible or understated;
     >>    Decrease or increase the PPA as the case may be by an amount equal to
          any increase in the accounts payable assumed by Purchaser at Closing
          which resulted from such accounts payable having been
          understated-yet-due by Seller as of the Closing date or overstated.

Purchaser and Seller shall review this revision and upon mutual agreement, the
amount of the Secured Promissory Note described in the next section may be
increased or decreased, and the subsequent monthly note payments shall be made
based on this revised note amount.
