Dear Bob:
Re: Letter of Intent re: Acquisition of High Country Waters By WTAA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Set forth below are the principal terms of the acquisition of High Country Waters ("High Country"), by WTAA International, Inc. ("WTAA"):
Entity Being Acquired 100% of High Country Waters, a proprietorship operating in the State of California.
Vendors: Robert Mueller, Chris Crain, L. Douglas Mackenzie
Purchaser WTAA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Purchase Price A total "Purchase Price" of $1,000,000 will be delivered for 100% of all classes of common shares of High Country Waters, to be paid as follows:
1. Good faith deposit of $10,000, payable on the earlier of the execution of a formal agreement, or October 31, 2000.
2.Cash of $890,000
3. Promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $100,000, to be paid in full by January 31, 2001. The promissory notes will
4. carry an interest rate of 8% per annum, to be paid monthly, commencing one month after the issuance of the promissory notes.
5. The Purchase Price includes the assumption of the accounts payable and long-term liabilities (but not loans from the proprietors). Effective Closing Date: December 15, 2000 or earlier if possible. Both parties agree that the acquisition will be effectively completed, notwithstanding the subsequent time required to complete the audit, with the possible subsequent adjustment to the purchase price limited to the amount due under the promissory notes. Extension of Closing It is agreed that the Closing Date can be extended by mutual consent in writing, and payment of $5,000 for one thirty day extension.
Adjustment to Purchase Price As a condition of the determination of the final price for the acquisition of High Country Waters, the Purchaser has the right to perform a formal audit of the operations and the financial records of High Country Waters, in form satisfactory to the Purchaser and its solicitors, for the fiscal years ended 1999 and 2000.
The purchase price is comprised of cash and a promissory note so as to accommodate a possible adjustment to the purchase price on a basis to be negotiated.
A part of the audit engagement will be to confirm the number of clients as at December 31, 2000, which determination should be available to the Purchaser by January 15, 2001. Upon receipt of that information, High Country Waters will be re-valued (the "New Valuation") based on an agreed formula of $350 per water-only client and $500 per cooler client as at December 31, 2000.
In the event the new valuation is twenty percent or more lower than the purchase price, i.e. $800,000 or lower, then the amount payable under the promissory notes will be forgiven, making the notes null and void. This is so because the Purchaser will have already paid in cash more than the New Valuation for the company. The effective Purchase Price will then be the amount paid in cash.
In the event the New Valuation is twenty percent or more higher than the purchase price, i.e. $1,200,000 or higher, then the
Purchaser will pay the full amount due under the promissory notes, plus an amount in "144" common shares of the Purchaser equivalent to the numerical difference between the New Valuation and the Purchase Price, divided by the average closing share price of WTAA common shares for the five days after receipt of the audited financial statements. Conditions
1. It is understood that such shares will be delivered free and clear of any encumbrances.
2. The Purchaser will be entitled to engage a qualified independent valuator to assess the fair market value of the companies being acquired, so as to substantiate value for the purchase of raising monies to finance such acquisition.
3. This acquisition is contingent upon the closure of the acquisitions of California Bottling Company Inc. and the interest in One Water Source LLC.
4. The obligations of the parties hereto to consummate the acquisition herein contemplated would be subject to the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, to be completed by no later than October 31, 2000, where such agreement will incorporate the foregoing terms and such other terms not inconsistent with the foregoing as may be agreed to, including:
a) the usual representations and warranties of each of the parties as to corporate existence and good standing, outstanding stock, corporate approvals, corporate power and authority, subsidiaries, litigation and undisclosed liabilities, contracts and commitments other than those in the ordinary course of business, contingent liabilities, absence of destruction or damage to corporate property or adverse changes in business or property, and other matters as may be reasonably requested by counsel to the respective parties;
b) indemnities with respect to breach of warranties and representations; and
c) the usual conditions, which must be satisfied before the parties, are obliged to close.
5. It is understood that the Purchaser will pay for the preparation of the formal legal documentation to effect the acquisition, and the audit fees. However, the vendors will be
6. responsible for their own legal expenses over and above the preparation of the acquisition documents.
7. Each of the parties hereto may, at its own expense, review and inspect or employ qualified legal, accounting, and other experts or advisors to review and inspect all of the books, records, documents, files and physical facilities of the other party and to thoroughly and completely investigate and familiarize themselves with such other party and its activities. Each of the parties and its officers will cooperate fully with the other party and its representatives in the foregoing review and investigation, shall make all requested files and records available to the party and its representatives, and shall furnish to the other party or to its representatives, copies of all requested pertinent documents and records. Each of the parties acknowledges that much of the information to be furnished to it and its respective representatives pursuant hereto may consist of confidential and/or proprietary information of the furnishing party. Accordingly, each party agrees to preserve and protect the confidentiality of all information made available to such other party or to its representatives hereunder, regardless of whether such is acquired before or after the execution of this letter of intent, except to the extent such information is available to the public generally. Each of the parties shall ensure that all representatives, advisors, and experts retained by such parties for the purpose of investigating and reviewing the affairs of the other party shall agree to abide by the foregoing confidentiality provisions. Both parties agree to have completed this due diligence process within by November 15, 2000, and then waiving the requirement for any further due diligence.
8. No public announcement of the acquisition or any transactions contemplated hereby shall be made by WTAA or the vendors without the express mutual written consent. The Vendors acknowledge that the Purchaser has certain obligations under the Exchange Act to make publicly available certain information. Therefore, the Purchaser may make such public statements and file with applicable federal and state agencies such reports or documents which the Purchaser, on advice of counsel, deems appropriate.

10. which would adversely affect the consummation of the transactions outlined above, but nothing in this agreement will prevent California Bottling from operating in the normal course of business.

Adjustment to Purchase Price As a condition of the determination of the final price for the acquisition of California Bottling, the Purchaser has the right to perform a formal audit of the operations and the financial records of California Bottling, in form satisfactory to the Purchaser and its solicitors, for the fiscal years ended 1998, and 1999 and 2000.

This is so because the Purchaser will have already paid in cash more than the New Valuation for the company. The effective Purchase Price will then be $3,200,000.

7.
