AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows
(capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
to such terms in the August Stock Purchase Agreement):
1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF STOCK. Subject to the terms and
conditions of the August Stock Purchase Agreement, which terms and conditions
are incorporated herein by reference, as modified by this Agreement, the Company
will issue and sell to each Investor, and each Investor severally agrees to
purchase from the Company, the number of shares of the Company's authorized but
unissued Common Stock (the "Shares") set forth with respect to such Investor on
Schedule 1.1 hereto, at a price per share equal to $3.00. The closing (the
"Closing") of the sale of the Shares shall be effected at the offices of the
Company on or prior to the third business day following satisfaction in full of
all of the closing conditions set forth in Section 4 and 5 of the August Stock
Purchase Agreement, or waiver of any such conditions pursuant to the terms
thereof, or at such other time and place as may be agreed to by a Majority of
the Investors and the Company (the "Closing Date"). At the Closing, subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, the Company shall issue to the Investors
certificates representing the Shares purchased by such Investor from the
Company, against payment of the full amount of such Investor's aggregate
purchase price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company's
bank account. The Company's obligation to sell shares to the Investors shall be
deemed to be a separate agreement from the August Stock Purchase Agreement and

2. DISCLOSURES. Attached hereto are current disclosure
schedules corresponding to Section 2 of the August Stock Purchase Agreement. The

(a) that the Company is no longer pursuing the acquisition designated as
"Company "F" in the Private Placement Memorandum, (b) the disclosures set forth
in the Registration Statement, and (c) the press release released on September
23, 2004, relating to the acquisition of Safco-Oil Field Products, Inc. The
Company represents that except for the acquisition of Safco-Oil Field Products,
Inc., there has been no material change in its business since the date of the
Registration Statement. Subject to the foregoing, the representations and
warranties set forth in the August Stock Purchase Agreement are true and correct
as of the date hereof.

of the transactions contemplated hereby is subject to the approval of the Board
of Directors of the Company, currently contemplated to be obtained on September
