Internet Corporation,  a Delaware corporation (hereinafter  "BeFirst"),  and the
owners of all the outstanding shares of common stock of BeFirst (hereinafter the
"BeFirst Stockholders").

                                    RECITALS:

     WHEREAS,  the BeFirst  Stockholders  own all of the issued and  outstanding
common  stock of BeFirst  which  comprises  1,000  shares (the  "BeFirst  Common
Stock").  CAI desires to acquire the BeFirst Common Stock solely in exchange for
voting common stock of CAI, making BeFirst a wholly-owned subsidiary of CAI; and

     WHEREAS,  the BeFirst  Stockholders  (as set forth on the attached  Exhibit
"A") desire to acquire  voting  common  stock of CAI in exchange for the BeFirst
Common Stock, as more fully set forth herein.

     NOW THEREFORE,  for the mutual  consideration set out herein and other good

acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

                                    AGREEMENT

     1. Plan of  Reorganization.  It is hereby  agreed  that all of the  BeFirst
Common Stock shall be acquired by CAI in exchange  solely for CAI common  voting
stock (the "CAI Shares").  It is the intention of the parties hereto that all of
the issued and outstanding  shares of capital stock of BeFirst shall be acquired
by CAI in  exchange  solely for CAI  common  voting  stock and that this  entire
transaction  qualify as a corporate  reorganization  under Section  368(a)(1)(B)
and/or Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and related
or other applicable sections thereunder.

     2.  Exchange  of Shares.  CAI and  BeFirst  Stockholders  agree that on the
Closing Date or at the Closing as hereinafter  defined, the BeFirst Common Stock
shall be delivered to CAI in exchange for the CAI Shares, after giving effect to
a 2 to 1 reverse stock split (the "CAI Reverse Stock Split") as to all presently
outstanding shares of CAI common stock, as follows:

     (a) At Closing,  CAI shall,  subject to the  conditions  set forth  herein,
issue an aggregate of 8,750,000  shares of CAI common stock (after giving effect
to the CAI Reverse Stock Split)

Shares.

     (b) Each BeFirst  Stockholder  shall  execute  this  Agreement or a written
consent to the exchange of their BeFirst Common Stock for CAI Shares.

     (c) Unless otherwise agreed by CAI and BeFirst this transaction shall close
only in the event CAI is able to acquire at least 80% of the outstanding BeFirst
Common Stock;  however,  it is the intent of the parties to have CAI acquire all
of the BeFirst Common Stock.

     3.  Pre-Closing  Events.  The Closing is subject to the  completion  of the
following:

     (a) CAI shall have authorized  50,000,000  shares of $.001 par value common
stock and 500,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock. The preferred stock
shall be subject to issuance in such  series and with such  rights,  preferences
and designations as determined in the sole discretion of the board of directors.

     (b) Jardine shall have contributed  8,600,000 shares of CAI Common Stock to
CAI for  cancellation,  leaving 5,000,000 shares issued and outstanding prior to
the CAI Reverse Stock Split.

     (c) CAI shall  effectuate  the CAI Reverse Stock Split at or about the time
of  Closing,  and shall have  2,500,000  shares of its common  stock  issued and
outstanding  and no other  shares of capital  stock  issued or  outstanding  not
taking into effect the shares to be issued under this Agreement.

     (d) CAI shall demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of BeFirst that it
has no material  assets and no  liabilities  contingent  or fixed other than the
proceeds of the CAI Financing as described herein.

     4.  Exchange of  Securities.  As of the Closing Date each of the  following
shall occur:

     (a) All shares of BeFirst Common Stock issued and  outstanding  immediately
prior to the  Closing  Date  shall be  exchanged  for the CAI  Shares  (up to an
aggregate  amount of 8,750,000 CAI Shares to be delivered at Closing).  All such
outstanding shares of BeFirst Common Stock shall be deemed, after Closing, to be
owned by CAI. The holders of such certificates  previously  evidencing shares of
BeFirst  Common Stock  outstanding  immediately  prior to the Closing Date shall
cease to have any rights  with  respect to such shares of BeFirst  Common  Stock
except as otherwise provided herein or by law;

     (b) Any shares of BeFirst  Common  Stock  held in the  treasury  of BeFirst
immediately  prior to the  Closing  Date shall  automatically  be  canceled  and
extinguished  without any  conversion  thereof and no payment shall be made with

<PAGE>

     (c)  The  2,500,000  shares  of CAI  common  stock  previously  issued  and
outstanding prior to the Closing,  after giving effect to the CAI Reverse Split,

accomplished:

     (a) CAI shall file an amendment to its Articles of  Incorporation  with the
Secretary  of State of the State of Nevada in  substantially  the form  attached
hereto as Exhibit "B" effecting an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to
(i)  reflect a name change to a new name as  selected  by BeFirst  and,  (ii) to
change the authorized  capitalization  of CAI to 50,000,000  shares of $.001 par
value common stock and 500,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock, as set
forth in the attached Exhibit "B".

     (b)  The   resignation  of  the  existing  CAI  officer  and  director  and
appointment of new officers and directors as directed by BeFirst.

     (c) CAI shall have completed a private  offering  under  Regulation D, Rule
506, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange  Commission ("SEC") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  of 1,250,000  shares of its common stock at
$2.00 per share. The gross proceeds of this offering (the "CAI Financing") shall
be $2,500,000,  which amount,  less agreed upon costs, shall be delivered to the
control  of new  management  of  CAI at  Closing  in  good  funds  or  shall  be
represented by the conversion of previous loans to BeFirst  arranged for by CAI.
The CAI Financing  shall have been  completed in compliance  with all applicable
state and federal  securities laws and the securities sold shall be delivered at
Closing to the  investors  in the CAI  Financing.  Persons  who have made bridge
loans to  BeFirst  pursuant  to  arrangements  made by CAI,  shall be given  the
opportunity  to convert the principal of said loans to the purchase of shares in
the private  offering prior to Closing upon the same terms as other investors in
the private offering.

     (d) CAI  shall  adopt a Stock  Option  Plan at  Closing  to  include  up to
1,000,000 shares of its common stock. The Plan shall include  "incentive"  stock
options under  Section 422 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and
other  options and similar  rights.  CAI shall grant  options under said plan to
employees and others, at Closing,  exercisable at $2.00 per share, as designated
by BeFirst subject to the reasonable approval of CAI.

     6. Delivery of Shares. On or as soon as practicable after the Closing Date,
BeFirst will use its best efforts to cause the BeFirst Stockholders to surrender
certificates for cancellation representing their shares of BeFirst Common Stock,
against  delivery  of  certificates  representing  the CAI  Shares for which the
shares of BeFirst Common Stock are to be exchanged at Closing.

represents and warrants each only as to its own BeFirst Common Stock,  effective
