Section 10.12. Expenses. The Company shall pay all legal, accounting,
advisory and other fees, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the Company, Jimirro, NLAG and the Purchasers in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without
limitation, the documents attached as exhibits hereto), including,
without limitation, the proxy solicitation commenced by Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxx on or about August 11, 2000, the March Letter Agreement, and
all other matters regarding the Company prior to the Closing and

Traurig, LLP. Laikin and
NLAG agree and acknowledge that any fees required to be paid to
Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, LLP or any of its affiliates will be the sole
responsibility and obligation of Laikin and/or NLAG, as appropriate,
and not of the Company. Laikin and NLAG agree and acknowledge that
any fees required to be paid to GTH Capital, Inc. or any of its
affiliates in excess of the amount set forth on Schedule 10.12 will
be the sole responsibility and obligation of Laikin and/or NLAG, as
appropriate, and not of the Company. Jimirro shall be a third-party
beneficiary of this Section 10.12. Without limiting the foregoing,
the parties agree and acknowledge that, other than advisors who have
been paid as part of the Purchaser Expenses, the advisors listed on
Schedule 10.12 are all of the advisors whose fees the Company is
obligated to pay pursuant to this Section 10.12 and that each of the
advisors listed on Schedule 10.12, except GTH Capital, Inc. ("GTH")
and Xxxxxxxxxx Partners, Inc. shall have had their respective fees
paid by the Company on or prior to the Closing, including, if not

an amount equal to such advisor's respective "Closing Cash" amount
set forth on Schedule 10.12 and the issuance of the Company's
unsecured one-year promissory notes in the form of Exhibit P attached
hereto in an amount equal to such advisor's respective "Closing Note"
amount set forth on Schedule 10.12, all in connection with and as
part of the Closing.
The Purchasers and the Company have approved the amounts listed on
Schedule 10.12 and the amounts of Purchaser Expenses listed on the
Schedule of Purchasers attached hereto and no further approval of
such amounts shall be necessary. The amounts listed on Schedule 10.12
may be increased prior to Closing subject to approval by the Company
and the Purchasers, each acting in good faith with respect thereto.
The amounts shown on Schedule 10.12 as payable to GTH is not a
definitive amount owed to GTH (the amount of such obligation being
not yet liquidated) but is reflected on Schedule 10.12 only to
indicate the maximum obligation of the Company under Section 10.12
relating to the payment of GTH fees. Accordingly, no admission is
intended or made thereby as to the amounts owed by Laikin to GTH.
