("Acquirer"), a Nevada corporation, and BitzMart, Inc., a Colorado corporation ("BITZMART") and Howard E. Leventhal, President of BITZMART ("LEVENTHAL") is made this 23rd day of August 2002. RECITALS A. The Boards of Directors Acquirer and BITZMART have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective shareholders for Acquirer to acquire BITZMART. B. In furtherance of such acquisition, the Boards of Directors of both companies have unanimously approved the acquisition of BITZMART by Acquirer by an exchange of BITZMART shares for Acquirer shares (the "Exchange"), and have resolved to recommend that their respective shareholders approve the Exchange, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein. C. The parties intend that the Exchange shall qualify as a tax-free reorganization with the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and a share exchange under Section 7-111-102 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, immediately following consummation of the exchange of the BITZMART Shares pursuant to this Agreement, Acquirer shall own all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of BITZMART, and the BITZMART shareholders, in combination with any other persons transferring property to Acquirer in exchange for common stock of Acquirer pursuant to transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall own, immediately after the completion of such transactions, stock constituting control of Acquirer within the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Code. D. Each party to this Plan desires to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the Exchange and also to prescribe various conditions thereto. AGREEMENT AND PLAN NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants set forth below, Acquirer and BITZMART and LEVENTHAL agree as follows: SHARE EXCHANGE 1.1 THE EXCHANGE. On the Effective Date, as defined in Section 3.1, BITZMART and Acquirer shall exchange shares, subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable provisions of the Colorado Business Corporation Act (the "CBCA"). 1.2 CONVERSION OF BITZMART SHARES IN THE EXCHANGE. On the Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, each share of BITZMART, issued and outstanding, as reflected on the stock record book of BITZMART, shall be converted and become exchangeable for shares of Acquirer by virtue of the Exchange and without any action on the part 9 of any holder of any stock of BITZMART. On the Effective Date as defined in Section 3.1 below, the shareholders of BITZMART (who have not dissented) shall hold at least ninety-five percent of the outstanding voting shares of Acquirer, and the shareholders of Acquirer shall hold not more than five percent of the outstanding voting shares of Acquirer. Pursuant to this Plan, on the Effective Date, BITZMART will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Acquirer. 1.3 EXCHANGE RATIO. On the Effective Date, all of the issued and outstanding shares of BITZMART Stock, other than BITZMART Dissenting Shares as defined in Section 1.12 hereto, shall be acquired, converted into, and become exchangeable for 17,000,000 shares of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, without par value, of Acquirer stock pursuant to the Exchange Ratio and as provided in this Plan. In this Plan, the term "Exchange Ratio" means a fraction, the NUMERATOR of which is equal to 17,000,000, less a number equal to the total of all shares of the common stock of BITZMART underlying outstanding purchase warrants and stock option (summarized on SCHEDULE 4.5) and the DENOMINATOR of which is equal to the sum of the whole number of shares of BITZMART stock issued and outstanding as of the Effective Date (the "Exchange Ratio"). Fractional shares shall be rounded up to the next whole number of shares as described in Section 1.11 below. The consideration referred to in this Section 1.3 is hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Consideration." 1.4 CONVERSION OF BITZMART WARRANTS AND OPTIONS. On the Effective Date, all outstanding warrants and options to purchase common stock (as summarized and identified on SCHEDULE 4.5) shall be automatically exchanged for and converted into the right purchase from Acquirer, on terms equivalent to the terms of the outstanding warrants and options and for the same total exercise consideration, the number of shares of Acquirer equal to the number of BITZMART shares presented by the warrants and options prior to the Effective Date multiplied by the Exchange Ratio identified in Section 1.3 above. From and after the Effective Date, the holders of all BITZMART warrants and options shall thereafter be entitled only to purchase, in accordance with the terms of the existing warrants and options, and for the same total exercise price, the adjusted number of shares of Acquirer. If any of the warrants or options expire before exercise, a number of Acquirer shares equal to the expired warrants or options shall be issued and distributed pro rata to the persons or entities who were shareholders of BITZMART at the Effective Date. 1.5 CONVERSION OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND INVESTOR WARRANTS. From and after the Effective Date, the holders of all 12% Convertible Notes and Investor Warrants of BITZMART (identified and summarized on SCHEDULE 1.5) shall be exchanged for the right to convert such notes and to exercise the Investor Warrants to acquire common stock of Acquirer. The number of shares of Acquirer to be issued upon conversion of the 12% Convertible Notes of BITZMART upon exercise of the Investor Warrants shall be adjusted as follows: the principal amount of the 12% Convertible Notes, plus accrued interest through the Effective Date shall be convertible into Acquirer common stock at a conversion rate of one share for each $0.50 of principal and interest. Each Investor Warrant shall be exchanged for a warrant to purchase a number of Acquirer's shares equal to six times the number of warrants reflected in the warrant certificate at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. From and after the Effective Date, the holders of BITZMART's 12% Convertible Notes and Investor Warrants shall be entitled only to acquire common stock of Acquirer upon conversion of such notes or exercise of the Investor Warrants. 10 1.6 CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS. The stock transfer books of BITZMART shall be closed and no transfer of BITZMART stock shall be made from and after the Effective Date. BITZMART Certificates presented to Acquirer after the Effective Date shall be canceled and exchanged in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article 1. 1.7 METHOD OF EXCHANGE OF ACQUIRER STOCK CERTIFICATES. The shares of Acquirer stock into which shares of BITZMART stock shall be converted in the Exchange shall be deemed to have been issued at the Effective Date. From and after the Effective Date, each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Date represented outstanding shares of BITZMART stock, other than shares with respect to which dissenters' rights, if any, are granted by reason of the Exchange under the CBCA, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, upon surrender thereof to Acquirer, a certificate or certificates representing the number of whole shares of Acquirer voting stock into which such holder's shares of BITZMART stock were converted pursuant to Section 1.3. From and after the Effective Date Acquirer shall be entitled to treat the certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Date represented shares of BITZMART stock and which have not yet been surrendered for exchange as evidencing the ownership of the number of full shares of Acquirer stock into which the shares of BITZMART stock represented by such certificates shall have been converted pursuant to Section 1.3, notwithstanding the failure to surrender such certificates. Likewise, BITZMART's 12% Convertible Notes, warrants, Investor Warrants and option agreements, if any, shall, after the Effective Date, represent the rights to acquire, upon conversion or exercise, as appropriate, the adjusted number of shares of Acquirer's common stock. 1.8 DIVIDENDS. No dividends shall be paid with respect to any shares represented by such certificates until holders or transferees of certificates which represented shares of BITZMART stock immediately prior to the Effective Date have surrendered them for exchange as provided herein, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan. Upon surrender of the certificate(s) which immediately prior to the Effective Date represented outstanding shares of BITZMART 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 Acquirer stock represented by the certificate or certificates issued upon such surrender. 1.9 STOCK TO BE ISSUED IN THE NAME OF ANOTHER. If any certificate for shares of Acquirer stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate, which immediately prior to the Effective Date represented shares of BITZMART stock surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the person requesting such exchange shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of certificates for such shares of Acquirer stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of any such certificate surrendered. 1.10 CERTIFICATES ISSUED AFTER SURRENDER. Upon surrender of BITZMART certificates for cancellation to Acquirer, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as Acquirer shall require, the holder of such BITZMART certificates shall, subject to the Escrow Agreement, be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Acquirer stock into which the shares of BITZMART stock represented by BITZMART Certificates so surrendered shall have been converted pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. 11 1.10.1 LOST CERTIFICATES. If any certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Acquirer, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Acquirer may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such certificate, the Exchange Consideration and, if applicable, any unpaid dividend and distributions on shares of Acquirer stock deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement. 1.10.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing no party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of BITZMART stock for any shares of Acquirer stock or dividends or distributions thereon delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable escheat laws. 1.11 FRACTIONAL SHARES. The parties agree that fractional shares of Acquirer stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of BITZMART certificates pursuant to this Plan, and in lieu thereof, each fraction of an Acquirer share which would otherwise be issued in the exchange shall be rounded up to the next whole number of shares. 1.12 DISSENTING SHARES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, holders of shares of BITZMART stock with respect to which dissenters' rights, if any, are granted by reason of the Exchange under the CBCA and who do not vote in favor of the Exchange and otherwise comply with the CBCA ("BITZMART Dissenting Shares"), shall not be entitled to shares of Acquirer stock pursuant to Section 1.3, and shall be entitled to receive from BITZMART only the payment provided for pursuant to the CBCA. 1.13 NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, Acquirer shall mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Date represented outstanding shares of BITZMART stock (collectively, the "BITZMART Certificates") a form letter of transmittal which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to BITZMART Certificates shall pass, only upon actual delivery of BITZMART Certificates to Acquirer and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of BITZMART Certificates in exchange for certificates representing shares of Acquirer stock. 1.14 EFFECTIVE DATE.

The parties hereto agree that they will report in their respective federal income Tax Returns for the taxable year including the Effective Date that the transfers of such property did so qualify under Section 351(a) and Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code, and will properly file with such Tax Returns all information required by Treasury Regulations Sections 1.351-3 and 1.368-3. No party hereto, unless required by law, will take any Tax reporting position inconsistent with the characterization of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as transfers described in Section 351(a) and/or Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code. 18 6.4 IRREVOCABLY PROXY.

To the extent that the Exchanging Stockholder's undertakings set forth in this Section 7.2(a) may be unenforceable, the Exchanging Shareholders shall contribute the maximum amount that they are permitted to contribute under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Damages incurred by the parties entitled to indemnification hereunder.

() Any party seeking indemnification under this Article VII (an "Indemnified Party") shall give each party from whom indemnification is being sought (each, an "Indemnifying Party") notice of any matter for which such Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification, stating the amount of the Damages, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises. The obligations of an Indemnifying Party under this Article VII with respect to Damages arising from any claims of any third party which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article VII (collectively, "Third Party Claims") shall be governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall receive, after the Effective Date, initial notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim within such time frame as is necessary to allow for a timely response and in any event within 30 days of the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to provide such timely notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VII except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party (upon advice of counsel) for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnified Party and such counsel shall contest such Third Party Claims in good faith. In the event the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, 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 the Indemnified Party's possession or under the Indemnified Party's control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party 21 shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party's possession or under the Indemnifying Party's control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, (i) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a written release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or (ii) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim in any manner that may adversely affect the Indemnified Party. No Third Party Claim which is being defended in good faith by the Indemnifying Party or which is being defended by the Indemnified Party as provided above in this Section 7.2(c) shall be settled by the Indemnified Party without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither any failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement. 10.
