              agreement, lease, or other commitment in respect of which AMI has
              not taken adequate steps to prevent such a default from occurring.

              contract, agreement, or instrument to which GWH is a party or to
              which any of its properties or operations are subject.

<PAGE>
 
              provincial, or other governmental entity or agency thereof, except
              to the extent that noncompliance would not materially and
              adversely affect the business, operations, properties, assets, or
              condition of the Web Site or except to the extent that
              noncompliance would not result in any material liability.

Section 1.08  Ownership of the Domain Name. GWH hereby represents and warrants
              that it is the legal and beneficial owner of "financialweb.com"
              the domain name, free and clear of any claims, charges, equities,
              liens, security interests, and encumbrances whatsoever, and that
              it has full right, power, and authority to transfer, assign,
              convey, and deliver the domain name; and that delivery of such
              domain name at the Closing will convey to AXS good and marketable
              title to such shares, free and clear of any claims, charges,
              equities, liens, security interest, and encumbrances whatsoever.

              Memorandum. AXS has taken all action required by law, its

                  thousand restricted shares of common stock of AXS; and (ii)
                  cash in the amount of four thousand ($4,000) dollars;

              (b) At the Closing, GWH shall, on the surrender of the domain name
                  and Web Site, be entitled to receive a certificate evidencing
                  shares of the AXS Common Stock as provided herein.

Section 3.02  Closing. The closing ("Closing") of the transactions contemplated
              by this Agreement shall be on a date and at such time as the

              period commencing with signing of this Agreement.

Section 3.03  Closing Events. At the Closing, each of the respective parties
              hereto shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver (or shall cause to

              agreements, resolutions, or other instruments required by this
              Agreement to be so delivered at or prior to the Closing, together
              with such other items as may be reasonably requested by the
              parties hereto and their respective legal counsel in order to
              effectuate or evidence the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 3.04  Termination.

              (a) This Agreement may be terminated by the board of directors of 
                  AXS or GWH at any time prior to the Closing Date if:

                  (i)  there shall be any actual or threatened action or
                       proceeding before any court or any governmental body
                       which shall seek to restrain, prohibit, or invalidate the
                       transactions contemplated by the Agreement and which, in
                       the judgement of such board of directors, made in good
                       faith and based on the advice of its legal counsel, makes
                       it inadvisable to proceed with the exchange contemplated
                       by this Agreement;

                  (ii) any of the transactions contemplated hereby are
                       disapproved by any regulatory authority whose approval 
                       is required to consummate such transactions or in the
                       judgment of such board of directors,
<PAGE>
 
                   made in good faith and based on the advice of counsel, there
                   is substantial likelihood that any such approval will not be
                   obtained or will be obtained only on a condition or
                   conditions which would be unduly burdensome, making it
                   inadvisable to proceed with the exchange; or

        In the event of termination pursuant to this paragraph (a) of section 
3.04, no obligation, right, or liability shall arise hereunder, and each party 
shall bear all of the expenses incurred by it in connection with the 
negotiation, drafting, and execution and this Agreement and the transactions 
herein contemplated.

              (b) This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the
                  Closing by action of the board of directors of AXS or GWH
                  shall fail to comply in any material respect with any of their
                  covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or if any
                  of the representations or warranties of GWH contained herein
                  shall be inaccurate in any material respect. If this Agreement
                  is terminated pursuant to this paragraph (b) of section 3.04,
                  this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, and no
                  obligation, right, or liability shall arise hereunder.

                                  ARTICLE IV

                               SPECIAL COVENANTS

Section 4.01  Access to Properties and Records. AXS and GWH will each afford to
              the officers and authorized representatives of the other full
              access to the properties, books, and records of AXS and GWH, as
              the case may be, in order that each may have full opportunity to
              make such reasonable investigation as it shall desire to make of
              the affairs of the other, and each will furnish the other with
              such additional financial and operating data and other information
              as to the business and properties of AXS and GWH, as the case may
              be, as the other shall time to time reasonably request.

Section 4.02  Availability of Rule 144. Each of the parties acknowledges that
              the shares of AXS stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement
              will be "restricted securities," as that term is defined in rule
              144 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act. AXS is under no
              obligation to register such shares under the Securities Act or to
              register the ECO common stock pursuant to section 12(g) of the
              Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Notwithstanding the
              foregoing, however, AXS will use its best efforts to: (a) timely
              prepare and disseminate the required information and financial
              statements so as to make available to the shareholders of AXS the
              provisions of rule 144 pursuant to subparagraph (c)(2) thereof;
              and (b) within 5 days of any written request of any shareholder of
              AXS, AXS will provide to such shareholder written confirmation of
              compliance with such of the foregoing subparagraph as may then be
              applicable. The shareholders of AXS holding

<PAGE>
 
              restricted securities of AXS as of the date of this Agreement, and
              their respective heirs, administrators, personal representatives,
              successors, and assigns, are intended third party beneficiaries of
              the provisions set forth herein. The covenants set forth in this
              section 4.02 shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the
              transactions herein contemplated.

Section 4.03  Special Covenants and Representations Regarding the AXS Stock. The
              consummation of this Agreement and the transactions herein
              contemplated, including the issuance of the Common Stock to GWH as
              contemplated hereby, constitutes the offer and sale of securities
              under the Securities Act and applicable state Statutes. Such
              transaction shall be consummated in reliance on exemptions from
              the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of such
              statutes which depend, inter alia, upon the circumstances under
              which GWH acquire such securities. In connection with reliance
              upon exemptions from the registration and prospectus delivery
              requirements for such transactions, at the Closing, GWH shall
              deliver to AXS a letter of representation in the form attached
              hereto as Exhibit "A."

Section 4.04  Third Party Consents. AXS and GWH agree to cooperate with each
              other in order to obtain third party consents to this Agreement
              and the transactions herein contemplated.

Section 4.05  Actions Prior to Closing.

              (a) From and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing 
                  Date, respectively, will each:

                  (i)   carry on its business in substantially the same manner 
                        as it has heretofore;

                  (ii)  perform in all material respects all of its obligations
                        under material contracts, leases, and instruments
                        relating to or affecting its assets, properties, and
                        business;

                  (iii) use its best efforts to maintain and preserve its
                        business organization intact, to retain its key
                        employees, and to maintain its relationship with its
                        material suppliers and customers; and

                  (iv)  fully comply with and perform in all material respects
                        all obligations and duties imposed on it by all federal
                        and state laws and all rules, regulations, and orders
                        imposed by federal or state governmental authorities.

              (b) From and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing
                  Date, neither AXS nor GWH will:


<PAGE>
 
                  (i) enter into or amend any contract, agreement, or other
                      instrument of any types described in such party's
                      schedules, except that a party may enter into or amend any
                      contract, agreement, or other instrument in the ordinary
                      course of business involving the sale of goods or
                      services.

              Agreement alone fully and completely expresses the agreement of

Section 5.10  Amendment or Waiver. Every right and remedy provided herein shall

              herein, at law, or in entity, and may be enforced concurrently
              herewith, and no waiver by any party of the performance of any
              obligation by the other shall be construed as a waiver of the same
              or any other default then, theretofore, or thereafter occurring or
              existing. At any time prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement
              may be amended by a
