<PAGE>
5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER
Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) Purchaser, either alone or through Purchaser's purchaser
representative (as that term is defined under Rule 501(h) of Regulation D under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") ("Purchaser's
Representative," herein)), if any, has had an opportunity to ask questions of
and receive answers from duly designated representatives of the Company
concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement and has been afforded an
opportunity to examine such documents and other information which Purchaser or
Purchaser's Representative, if any, has requested for the purpose of answering
any question Purchaser or Purchaser's Representative, if any, may have
concerning the business and affairs of the Company.
(b) Purchaser's principal residence is located in the State of
Oregon. Purchaser has received and reviewed this Agreement and the Documents and
acknowledges the Company made available to Purchaser at a reasonable time prior
to the execution of this Agreement the opportunity to ask questions and receive
answers concerning the business and affairs of the Company and the terms and
conditions of the sale of the Unit(s) as contemplated by this Agreement and to
obtain any additional information (which the Company possesses or can acquire
without unreasonable effort or expense) as may be necessary to verify the
accuracy of information furnished to Purchaser. Purchaser (i) is able to bear
the loss of its entire investment without any material adverse effect on his
economic stability, and (ii) has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
investment to be made by him pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Purchaser and Purchaser's Representative, if any,
understand that the Units are being offered and sold only to "accredited
investors" (as that term is defined under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D), and
Purchaser represents that Purchaser is an accredited investor. Purchaser
understands the Company is relying on Purchaser with respect to the accuracy of
this representation.
(d) Purchaser and Purchaser's representative, if any,
understand that this Agreement may not comply with the information requirements
of Regulation D for offers and sales to non-accredited investors (see Regulation
D, Rule 502(b)), and, consequently, Purchaser understands the significance of
its representation to the Company that it is an accredited investor. Purchaser
and Purchaser's representative, if any, acknowledge that they were encouraged by
the Company to request all additional information which might be material or
important in order for Purchaser to make an informed investment decision with
respect to the Company.
(e) The Unit(s) are being purchased for investment purposes
only for such Purchaser's own account and not with the view to, or for resale in
connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof. Purchaser
understands that the Note and the Warrants have not been registered under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws by reason of their contemplated
issuance in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and that the reliance of
the Company and others upon these exemptions is predicated in part upon the
representation by Purchaser. Purchaser understands that the Unit, the Note
and/or the Warrant may not be transferred or resold without the prior approval
of the Company.
2
<PAGE>
(f) Purchaser has taken the time to carefully read this
Agreement, the Documents and any other information furnished to Purchaser by the
Company in connection with this Agreement.
(g) Purchaser was not solicited to purchase the Unit, the Note
and/or the Warrant by any means of general solicitation, including but not
limited to the following: (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other
communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or
broadcast over television or radio; (ii) any meeting where attendees were
invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.
(h) Purchaser and Purchaser's Representative, if any, are
aware that the shares issuable upon conversion of the Note and exercise of the
Warrant are and will be, when issued, "restricted securities", as that term is
defined in Rule 144 (the "Rule") of the rules and regulations promulgated under
the Securities Act. Purchaser and Purchasees Representative, if any, are fully
aware of the applicable limitations on the resale of the resulting shares. The
Rule only permits sales of "restricted securities" held for not less than one
year upon compliance with the requirements of such Rule. If the Rule is
available to Purchaser, and representatives of the Company hereby advise
Purchaser that such availability is highly unlikely, Purchaser may make only
routine sales of the resulting shares in limited amounts in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the Rule. Purchaser is fully aware that in any event,
there is not likely to be any market for the resulting shares and that finding a
purchaser for the resulting shares could be extremely difficult.
(i) Purchaser and Purchaser's Representative, if any,
understand that any and all certificates representing the resulting shares shall
bear a legend substantially as follows, which legend Investor has read and
understands:
The Shares represented by this Certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") or the securities laws
of any state and are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144
under the Act. Such Shares may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise
transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act
and the applicable state securities laws or pursuant to an exemption from
registration thereunder, the availability of which is to be established to the
satisfaction of counsel to the issuer.
(j) Purchaser acknowledges that in making its investment
decision Purchaser has relied upon its examination of the Company and its
officers, directors and employees regarding the merits and risks involved.
Investor has consulted its own attorney, business or tax advisor as to legal,
business or tax advice.
(k) Purchaser represents and wan-ants that Purchaser can bear
the economic risk of loss of Purchaser's entire investment in the Company.
Purchaser understands that an investment in the Company involves substantial
risks, including, without limitation, the risk factors described in the
Documents and the following:
3
<PAGE>
(i) Need for Additional Financing. The Company, at
this time, has limited capital resources. To
continue operations, the Company may require
additional financing for working capital and
general business purposes. No assurance can be
given that the Company will obtain any additional
outside financing on terms that are favorable to
the Company or in amounts necessary to fund its
cash requirements.
(ii) Dilution. If the Company obtains additional
funds through private or public equity or debt
financings, and if Purchaser acquires common stock
through conversion of the Note or exercise of the
Warrant, Purchaser may experience substantial
dilution as a consequence of such future
financings, including, without limitation, a
reduction in his respective percentage ownership in
the Company.
(iii) Competition. The gaming and gaming related
products industry is characterized by intense
competition. Many of the Company's competitors have
far greater experience and financial resources than
the Company. No assurance can be given that the
Company will be able to compete effectively against
its competitors.
(iv) Dependence on Key Personnel. The Company's
success depends to a significant extent on the
performance of certain key personnel. The loss of
such key personnel could materially and adversely
affect the Company. The Company has not executed
employment agreements with all such key personnel.
(v) Limitations on Transferability. Transferability
of the Unit, the Note and the Warrant sold pursuant
to this Agreement will be restricted by the prior
express written approval. Purchaser will be
required to bear the economic risk of his
investment in the Company for an indefinite period
of time.
(vi) Absence of Market for the Shares. The Units
are being offered exclusively to accredited
investors for investment purposes only. There will
be no public market for the Unit, the Note and the
Warrant. Although the Company intends to cause its
common stock to begin trading, there is no
assurance that this will occur. Accordingly, the
Unit the Note and the Warrant are not liquid
investments. The Units are only suitable for
persons who have substantial financial resources,
have no need for liquidity in their investment in
the Company and who are prepared to lose their
investment in the Company in its entirety.
4
<PAGE>
(vii) Tax Risks. An investment in the Units may
involve material and substantial tax consequences
to Purchaser. Purchaser is urged to consult with
tax counsel and/or a tax accountant or Purchaser's
own choice concerning the tax consequences
particular to Purchaser which may arise from
subscribing to, holding and/or disposing of the
Unit, the Note and the Warrant.
6. INDEMNEFICATION BY PURCHASER
Purchaser agrees that it shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents and professional advisors
from and against any and all loss, damage, liability, or expense, including
costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, that the foregoing, or any of them, may
incur by reason of, or in connection with, any misrepresentation, inaccurate
statement or material omission made by Purchaser herein, any breach of any of
Purchaser's warranties, or any failure on Purchaser's part to fulfill any of
Purchaser's covenants, agreements or obligations set forth herein.
7. AUTHORIZATION
Purchaser hereby authorizes the Company and its officers,
employees and agents to investigate Purchaser's personal and business background
including, without limitation, communication with any employer, former employer,
business associate, government agency, bank or other credit reference. Purchaser
hereby authorizes any person, organization or entity that may have any knowledge
or information Purchaser personal or business background to provide such
information to the Company as the Company may request.
8. NO BROKERS OR FINDERS
No person, firm or corporation has or will have, as a result
of any act or omission by such Purchaser, any right, interest or valid claim
against Purchaser or the Company for any commission, fee or other compensation
as a finder or broker, or in any similar capacity, in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
9. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada.
(b) This Agreement, the Note and the Warrant contain the
entire agreement between the Company and Purchaser with regard to the subject
matter hereof and may not be modified or waived except in a writing signed by
both the Company and Purchaser.
(c) The headings of this Agreement are for convenience and
reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the interpretation of
any term or provision hereof.
5
<PAGE>
(d) This Agreement and the rights, powers, and duties set
forth herein shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of, the heirs, executors, administrators, legal
representatives, successors, and assigns of the parties hereto.
(e) Purchaser may not assign any of Purchaser's rights or
interests in and under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
Company, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and
void and without any force or effect whatsoever.
(f) If any legal action or any arbitration or other proceeding
is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an alleged
dispute, breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with any of the
provisions of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing party or parties
shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred
in that action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it may be
entitled.
(g) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with its
intent and without regard to any presumption or any other rule requiring
construction against the party causing the same to be drafted.
(h) If any provision of this Agreement, or any portion of any
provision, shall be deemed invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever,
such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the enforceability and
validity of the remaining provisions hereof

THIS NOTE HAS BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR REGISTERED OR
QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND THIS
NOTE MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE
OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS
NOTE MAY BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION.
CVI TECHNOLOGY, INC.
9.5% CONVERTIBLE NOTE DUE MAY 31, 2001
$200,000 May 31, 2000
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned CVI Technology, Inc., a Nevada
corporation ("Obligor"), hereby promises to pay to the order of VIP's
Industries, Inc. or its registered assigns ("Holder") on May 31, 2001, the
principal sum of Two Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) and to
pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof from the date hereof at a
rate of 9.5% per annum, payable on May 31, 2001. Holder may, however, elect to
extend the payable date for up to four one-year periods. In such case, this Note
will be due May 31, 2002, May 31, 2003, May 31, 2004, or May 31, 2005, as Holder
may determine. Should Holder elect to extend the date payable, interest on this
Note shall be due, at Holder's option: (1) annually; or (2) upon either (a)
Holder's conversion of this Note; or (b) Obligor's repayment of this Note. This
Note is unsecured. At its discretion, Obligor may, at any time, redeem the Note
without penalty upon payment of' the face value of the Note and any unpaid and
accrued interest.
This Note is being issued as part of a Unit consisting of a Common
Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase up to 50,000 shares of
Obligor's common stock (the "Common Stock"). This Note and the Warrant are not
detachable unless and until the Note is converted in accordance herewith.
Exercise of certain rights under the Warrant are expressly subject to certain
conditions contained therein and herein.
<PAGE>
After expiration of one (1) year from the date of the Note, Holder is
entitled, at its option, to convert this Note into fully paid and non-assessable
shares of restricted $.001 par value common stock of the Obligor ("Common
Stock") at the conversion price of $2.60 per share (the "Conversion Price"),
subject to such adjustment or adjustments, if any, of such Conversion Price and
the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, upon surrender of this Note, duly
endorsed or assigned to Obligor or in blank, to Obligor, with the conversion
notice attached hereto, or accompanied by a separate written notice
substantially in the form of such conversion notice, duly executed by Holder and
stating that Holder elects to convert this Note, or if less than the entire
principal amount hereof is to be converted (but in not less than $25,000
increments), the portion hereof to be converted, all in accordance with the
provisions of the Subscription Agreement. No fractional shares will be issued on
conversion, but instead of any fractional interest, Obligor shall pay a cash
adjustment. If Obligor shall, prior to the conversion or payment of the Note in
full, (a) declare a dividend or make a distribution of its Common Stock payable
in shares of its Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common
Stock, or (d) issue any shares of capital stock of the Company by
reclassification or capital reorganization of its shares of Common Stock, then
the conversion privilege and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of a Note thereafter converted
shall be entitled to receive the number and kind of shares of Common Stock or
other Capital Stock which the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to
receive immediately after such action had the Holder converted the Note
immediately prior to the record date in the case of (a), or the effective date
in the case of (b), (c) or (d).
Obligor shall prepare and, no sooner than nine months and no later than
twelve months after the date hereof, file with United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), an appropriate registration statement to effect
a registration of the Registrable Securities (as defined below) covering the
resale of the Registrable Securities issuable to Holder upon conversion of this
Note, which registration statement, to the extent allowable under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule
416), shall state that such registration statement also covers such
indeterminate numbers of additional shares of Common Stock as may become
issuable upon conversion of the Note to prevent dilution resulting from stock
splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. The Company shall use its best
efforts to obtain effectiveness of the registration statement as soon as
practicable. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Registrable Securities"
means the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Note
and any shares of capital stock issued or issuable as a dividend on or in
exchange for or otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing. All reasonable
expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred by Obligor
in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this
paragraph, including without limitation, all registration, listing and
qualification fees, printers and accounting fees, and the fees and disbursements
of counsel for Obligor, shall be borne by Obligor.

<PAGE>
Obligor may issue other indebtedness from time to time prior to or
hereafter that has a senior ranking to this Note in priority of payment, and
this Note will be subordinate in right of payment thereto. In the event any
action is taken to collect or enforce the indebtedness evidenced by this Note
(the "Indebtedness") or any part thereof, Obligor agrees to pay, in addition to
the principal and interest due and payable hereon, all costs of collecting this
Note, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. These costs shall
include any expenses incurred by Holder in any bankruptcy, reorganization, or
other insolvency proceeding.
No delay or omission of Holder in exercising any right or rights, shall
operate as a waiver of such right or any other rights. A waiver on one occasion
shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any
future occasion.
The liability of Obligor under this Note (and the liability of any
endorsers of this Note) shall not be discharged, diminished or in any way

surrender of this Warrant, together with an exercise agreement in the form
attached hereto (the "Exercise Agreement"), duly completed and executed by the

cash, by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer for the account of
the Company in the amount of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of
Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is being exercised.
The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the
Holder as the record owner of such Warrant Shares, as of the close of business
on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, the completed
Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered, and payment shall have been made
for such Warrant Shares as set forth above. Certificates for the Warrant Shares

exercised. The certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may
be reasonably requested by the Holder and shall be registered in the name of the
Holder or such other name as shall be designated by the Holder. If this Warrant
shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired,
the Company shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates,
deliver to the Holder a new warrant representing the number of Warrant Shares
with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised.
3. EXERCISE PERIOD. This Warrant may be exercised any time after May

else herein to the contrary,
(a) The Warrant is not exercisable unless Holder has exercised
fully the conversion option under the Convertible Note.
(b) This Warrant may be called and redeemed, if not previously
exercised after the Company gives written notice to Holder of the Company's
election to call and redeem (the "Redemption Notice") the Warrant and if, within
thirty 130 days of such Redemption Notice, Holder has not exercised the Warrant
pursuant to the terms hereof. In no event may the Company elect to redeem the

of Common Stock or (c) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (d) issue any shares of capital

Capital Stock which the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive
immediately after such action had the Holder exercised the Warrant immediately
prior to the record date in the case of (a), or the effective date in the case

required herein results in a fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be
rounded up to the nearest cent.

responsible for their own costs and expenses payable in connection with (a) the
negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other
agreements to be executed in connection herewith; and (b) the issuance of
certificates for Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company
shall pay any issuance tax in connection with the issuance of certificates for
Warrant Shares; provided, however, that the Holder shall be responsible for any
income or other taxes in connection with such issuance.
8. NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS A STOCKHOLDER. This Warrant shall not
entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the
Company. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative action by
the Holder to purchase Warrant Shares, and no mere enumeration herein of the
rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of such
Holder for the Exercise Price or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such
liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

any interest in this Warrant, may be sold, distributed, assigned, offered,

Stock (not to exceed the aggregate total number purchasable hereunder)
as shall be reasonably designated by the Holder at the time of such
surrender. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of
this Warrant, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity,
or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated the Company will make and
deliver a new warrant of like tenor, in lieu of this Warrant.
(b) CANCELLATION: PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Upon the surrender of
this Warrant in connection with any transfer, exchange, or replacement
as provided in this Section 9, this Warrant shall be promptly canceled
by the Company. The Company and the Holder shall each be responsible

preparation, execution, and delivery of new warrants pursuant to this
Section 9. The Holder shall be responsible for any tax which may be
payable in connection with any transfer of a certificate for Warrant

by notice to the Holder), a registrar for this Warrant, in which the

deemed effective unless and until such amendment or modification is an express
writing executed by both the Parties.

enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada without
regard to the body of law controlling conflicts of law. The parties hereto

transactions contemplated hereby.

a registration of the Registrable Securities (as defined below)
covering the resale of the Registrable Securities underlying this
Warrant, which registration statement, to the extent allowable under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules promulgated
thereunder (including Rule 416), shall state that such registration
statement also covers such indeterminate numbers of additional shares
of Common Stock as may become issuable upon conversion of the Warrants

similar transactions or (ii) by reason of changes in the Exercise Price

best efforts to obtain effectiveness of the registration statement as
soon as practicable. For purposes of this Agreement, the term

in exchange for or otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing.

requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing
of the registration statement. At least three (3) business days prior
to the first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the
Company shall notify the Holder of the information the Company requires
from each such Holder.

repayment of the debt represented by the Convertible Note, but in no event later

by its duly authorized officer.
