administrator thereof, has engaged in, or permitted the assets of any such plan
or trust to be involved in, a "prohibited transaction", as such term is defined
in Section 4975 of the Code or Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA, which could
subject the Company, any of such plans or any trust to any material tax or
penalty on prohibited transactions imposed by Section 4975 of the Code or which

"multiple employer plan" within the meaning of Section
18
24
413(c) of the Code. The Company has not withdrawn from such a plan, and is not

thereunder of either party thereto are, or are contemplated or estimated as
being, in respect of any such individual contracts, commitments, leases or other
agreements during the term thereof, $2,500 or greater, or which are otherwise
material to the business of the Company. The Company is not, and, to the best
knowledge of the Company and each Shareholder, no other party thereto, is in
default (and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or the giving
of notice or both, would constitute a default) under any such contracts,
commitments, leases or other agreements, and the Company has not waived any
right under any such contracts, commitments, leases or other agreements. None of
such contracts, commitments, leases or other agreements are leases in connection
with which an election was made under Section 168(f)(8) of the Code. Except as

obligations of any other person.

5.17 Claims and Proceedings. Attached hereto as Schedule 5.17 is a list
and description of all claims, actions, suits, proceedings and investigations
pending or threatened against the Company or any of its properties or assets, at
law or in equity, or before or by any court, municipal or other governmental
department, commission, board, agency or instrumentality. Except as set forth on
Schedule 5.17 attached hereto, none of such pending or threatened claims,
actions, suits, proceedings or investigations will result in any liability or
loss to the Company which (individually or in the aggregate) is material to the
Company, and the Company is not now subject to any order, judgment, decree,
stipulation or consent of any court, governmental body or agency. No inquiry,
action or proceeding has been asserted, instituted or, to the best knowledge of
Shareholders, threatened to restrain or prohibit the carrying out of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to challenge the validity of such
transactions or any part thereof or seeking damages on account thereof. There is
no basis for any such valid claim or action or any other claims or actions that

have a material adverse effect on the business, operations or financial
condition of the Company or result in a material liability of the Company.
5.18 Taxes. All federal, foreign, state, county and local income, gross
receipts, excise, franchise, license and withholding tax (collectively, "Taxes")

hereof have been filed within the time and in the manner provided by law, and
all such Returns are true and correct and accurately reflect the Tax liabilities
of the Company. All Taxes, assessments, penalties and interest which have become
due pursuant to such Returns have been paid or adequately accrued in the
Financial Statements. All ad valorem or property taxes that have been
20
26
assessed have also been paid or adequately accrued in the Financial Statements.
Sales and use taxes have been paid, and all returns and reports made with
respect thereto, in all jurisdictions where the Company has offices or maintains
operations and in other jurisdictions where taxing authorities have required
such payments, returns or reports. The provisions for Taxes, including ad
valorem, property, sales and use taxes (collectively, "Other Taxes"), reflected
on the balance sheet contained in the Financial Statements are adequate to cover
all of the Company's estimated liabilities for Taxes and Other Taxes for the
respective periods then ended and all prior periods. The Company has not
executed any presently effective waiver or extension of any statute of
limitations against assessment and collection of Taxes or Other Taxes. There are
no pending or threatened claims, assessments, notices, proposals to assess,
deficiencies or audits (collectively, "Tax Actions") with respect to any Taxes
or Other Taxes owed or allegedly owed by the Company. To the best knowledge of
the Company and each Shareholder, there is no basis for any Tax Actions. There
are no tax liens on any of the assets of the Company. To the best knowledge of
the Company and each Shareholder, proper and accurate amounts have been withheld
and remitted by the Company from and in respect of all persons from whom it is
required by applicable law to withhold for all periods in compliance with the
tax withholding provisions of all applicable laws and regulations. The Company
utilizes the accrual method of accounting for federal income tax purposes.

is in compliance in all material respects with all federal and state laws
respecting employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of

business,
26
32
assets, results of operation, and financial condition as would be contained in a
registration statement prepared in connection with a public sale of the Parent
Preferred Share. Each of the Shareholders further represents that such

Preferred Shares. Each of the Shareholders acknowledges that such Shareholder is
able to fend for himself or herself, can bear the economic risk of its
investment in the Parent Preferred, and has such knowledge and experience in

cannot be sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under the
Securities Act or an exemption therefrom. In this connection, each of the
Shareholders represents that such Shareholder is familiar with Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, as currently in effect, and understands
the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. Stop transfer
instructions may be issued to the transfer agent for securities of Parent (or a
notation may be made in the appropriate records of the Company) in connection
with the Parent Preferred Shares.

to preserve the goodwill of those having business relationships with

6.10 Resignations of Directors. Shareholders shall cause all directors
of the Company to deliver their written resignations to Parent, which
resignations shall be effective at or before the Closing and shall be in form
and substance satisfactory to Parent. Each such resignation shall state that the
Company is not in any way indebted or obligated to the resigning party for
termination pay, loans, advances or otherwise, except for accrued salary (if
any).

S-8, or any other form used solely in connection with an employee benefit or
stock ownership plan) and the registration form to be used may be used for the
registration of the Parent Preferred Shares (a "Piggyback Registration"), then
Parent will give prompt
33
39
written notice to the Shareholders of its intention to effect such a

registration that number of Parent Preferred Shares which the Shareholders
request that the Company include in such registration pursuant to written notice
given to the Company within fifteen (15) days after the date of sending of the
Company's Piggyback Notice; provided, however, that the proportion that such
number of Parent Preferred Shares to be registered bears to the total number of
Parent Preferred Shares then held by the Shareholders shall not exceed the
proportion that the securities to be registered by Parent on behalf of Xxx X.
Park in such Piggyback Registration bears to the total number of securities then
held by Xxx X. Park.

INDEMNIFICATION
8.1 Indemnification.
(a) Shareholders jointly and severally agree to indemnify and
hold harmless Parent (and, following the Closing, the Company) and each
officer, director, employee, representative and affiliate of Parent and
the Company (collectively, the "Parent Indemnified Parties") from and
against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, demands,
charges, suits, penalties, costs and expenses (including court costs
and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in investigating
and preparing for any litigation or proceeding) (collectively,
"Indemnifiable Costs") which any of the Parent Indemnified Parties may
sustain, or to which any of the Parent Indemnified Parties may be
subjected, arising out of any breach or default by any Shareholder or
the Company of or under any of its, his or her representations,
warranties, covenants, agreements, waivers or other provisions of this
Agreement or any agreement, document or instrument executed in
connection herewith.
(b) Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Shareholders
and each representative and affiliate of Shareholders (collectively,
the "Shareholder Indemnified Parties")
38
44
from and against any and all Indemnifiable Costs which any of the
Shareholder Indemnified Parties may sustain, or to which any of the
Shareholder Indemnified Parties may be subjected, arising out of any
breach or default by Parent of or under any of its representations,
warranties, covenants, agreements, waivers or other provisions of this
Agreement or any agreement, document or instrument executed in
connection herewith.
(c) For purposes of this Article 8, Parent Indemnified Parties
and Shareholder Indemnified Parties are collectively referred to as the
"Indemnified Parties".
(d) No indemnification shall be required to be made by any
Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 8 unless, and then only to
the extent, that the aggregate amount of all Indemnified Costs asserted
against the Indemnifying Party exceeds $2,500.
8.2 Defense of Third-Party Claims. An Indemnified Party shall give
prompt written notice to each party hereto who or which is obligated to provide
indemnification hereunder (for purposes of this Article 6, an "Indemnifying
Party") with a copy of such written notice of the commencement or assertion of
any action, proceeding, demand or claim by a third party (collectively, a
"third-party action") in respect of which such Indemnified Party shall seek
indemnification hereunder. Any failure so to notify the Indemnifying Parties
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Parties from any liability that they may have
to the Indemnified Party under this Article 8 unless the failure to give such
notice materially and adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Parties. The
Indemnifying Parties shall have the right to assume control of the defense of,
settle or otherwise dispose of such third-party action on such terms as they
deem appropriate; provided, however, that:
(a) The Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at its, his or
her own expense, to participate in the defense of such third-party
action; provided, however, that the Indemnifying
39
45
Parties shall, if the Indemnified Party is otherwise entitled to
indemnification hereunder, pay the attorneys' fees of the Indemnified
Party if (i) the employment of separate counsel shall have been
authorized in writing by any such Indemnifying Party in connection with
the defense of such third-party action, (ii) the Indemnifying Parties
shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party to have charge of such third-party action, (iii) the
Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
defenses available to it, him or her which are different from or
additional to those available to the Indemnifying Parties, or (iv) the
Indemnified Party's counsel shall have advised the Indemnified Party in
writing with a copy to the Indemnifying Parties, that there is a
conflict of interest that could make it inappropriate under applicable
standards of professional conduct to have common counsel; provided,
further, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Parties be required to
pay the attorneys' fees of the Indemnified Parties for more than one
firm of attorneys (and one firm of local counsel, if required) in any
one third-party action or group of related third-party actions;
(b) The Indemnifying Parties shall obtain the prior written
approval of the Indemnified Party before entering into or making any
settlement, compromise, admission or acknowledgment of the validity of
such third-party action or any liability in respect thereof if,
pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, compromise, admission or
acknowledgment, injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed
against the Indemnified Party or if, in the opinion of the Indemnified
Party, such settlement, compromise, admission or acknowledgment could
have a material adverse effect on its business or, in the case of an
Indemnified Party who is a natural person, on his or her assets or
interests;
40
46
(c) No Indemnifying Party shall consent to the entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to
each Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of
the specific matter which is being settled or upon which judgment is to
be entered; and
(d) No Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control (but
shall be entitled to participate at his, her or its own expense in the
defense of), and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole
control over, the defense or settlement, compromise, admission or
acknowledgment of any third-party action (i) as to which such
Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense within a reasonable
length of time, or (ii) to the extent the third-party action seeks an
order, injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified
Party which, if successful, would materially adversely affect the
business, operations, assets or financial condition of the Indemnified
Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall make no
settlement, compromise, admission or acknowledgment which would give
rise to liability on the part of any Indemnifying Party without the
prior written consent of such Indemnifying Party.
The parties hereto shall extend reasonable cooperation in connection with the
defense of any third-party action pursuant to this Article 8 and, in connection
therewith, shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such
conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be
reasonably requested.
8.3 Direct Claims. In any case in which an Indemnified Party seeks
indemnification hereunder which is not subject to Section 8.3 hereof because no
third-party action is involved, the Indemnified Party shall notify each
Indemnifying Party of any Indemnifiable Costs which he, she or
41
47
it claims are subject to indemnification hereunder. The failure of the
Indemnified Party to exercise promptness in such notification shall not amount
to a waiver of such claim unless the resulting delay materially prejudices the
position of the Indemnifying Parties with respect to such claim.
8.4 Tax Audits. In the event of an audit of a Return of the Company
with respect to which an Indemnified Party might be entitled to indemnification
pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof, the Company shall have the right to control the
defense and conduct of any and all such audits which may result in the
assessment of additional Taxes against the Company and any and all subsequent
proceedings in connection therewith, including appeals. All decisions whether to
contest any such audit or the results thereof shall be made by the Company in
good faith and without regard to its rights to indemnification hereunder. The
Indemnifying Parties shall cooperate fully in all matters relating to any such
audit or other Tax proceeding and shall execute and file any and all consents,
powers of attorney and other documents as shall be reasonably necessary in
connection therewith.
ARTICLE 9
MISCELLANEOUS

(together with the documents delivered pursuant hereto) supersedes all prior

against whom enforcement thereof is sought.
42
48
9.2 Successors and Assigns. Neither Parent's, the Company's nor any
Shareholder's rights or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned without
the written consent of the other parties hereto (except that Parent may assign
its rights and obligations to any affiliate (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act) or lender thereof without the written consent of
Shareholders or the Company); provided, however, that any such assignment shall
not relieve Parent from its obligations hereunder). Any assignment in violation
of the foregoing shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentences of
this Section 9.2, the provisions of this Agreement (and, unless otherwise
expressly provided therein, of any document delivered pursuant to this
Agreement) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
9.3 Expenses.
(a) Except as set forth in Section 9.3(b) below, each party

other documents ancillary to this Agreement, and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement;
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.3(a) above,
the Company shall be responsible for the first $4,000 of expenses
incurred by the Company and the Sellers in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Shareholders shall
be jointly and severally responsible for the payment of all such fees
and expenses of the Company and Sellers in excess of $4,000.
9.4 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to
be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such
provision shall be fully severable, this Agreement
43
49
shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement and the remaining
provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not
be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its
severance from this Agreement.
9.5 Information and Confidentiality. Each party hereto agrees that such
party shall hold in strict confidence all information and documents received
from any other party hereto, and if the Closing does not occur each such party
shall return to the other parties hereto all such documents then in such
receiving party's possession without retaining copies; provided, however, that
each party's obligations under this Section 9.5 shall not apply to (a) any
information or document required to be disclosed by law, (b) any information or
document in the public domain other than because of the wrongful actions of the
disclosing party, or (c) any information or document that Parent discloses to
any potential lender to or investor in Parent. In addition, and without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the parties further agree that press releases
or other public announcements by the parties hereto concerning this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be mutually agreed to as to
content prior to their release, and that Parent shall afford the Company at

then such other notice as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances)
prior to issuing any such press releases or public announcements.
9.6 Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising
any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any of the documents delivered
in connection with this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power
or privilege; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power
or privilege preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right, power or privilege.

50
