      the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

           (e) Liabilities or obligations of the Company arising out of its
      failure to comply with:

                 (i) Any provision of the federal securities laws, rules, or
            regulations; and

                (ii) The securities laws of any state or rules and regulations
            of any authorities administering such laws;

           (f) Any obligations of the Company under subscription agreements,

      of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), maintained, sponsored or contributed to by
      the Company.

     The foregoing liabilities are hereinafter referred to as the "Excluded
Liabilities."

     1.5 Consideration for Assets.

           (a) Parent Common Stock.  In exchange for the Assets transferred by
      the Company, Sub shall issue and deliver to the Company an aggregate
      number of shares of the voting Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of
      Parent (the "Parent Common Stock") equal to the sum of (i) the quotient
      of (a) $2,550,000 divided by (b) the average sales price of the Parent
      Common Stock on a national securities exchange or quotation system for
      the close of business for each business day in the 60 consecutive
      calendar-day period ending on the day before the Closing (such number of
      shares of Parent Common Stock being referred to herein as the "Restricted
      Parent Exchange Shares"), and (ii) the minimum number of shares of Parent
      Common Stock that if sold by the Members on the Closing Date to a Third
      Party Purchaser (as defined in Section 7.11 hereof) would result in the
      Members receiving aggregate gross proceeds of $2,450,000 in cash from
      such sale prior to income tax but after any applicable broker commissions
      on such sale (such number of shares of Parent Common Stock being referred
      to herein as the "Unrestricted Parent Exchange Shares").  The Restricted
      Parent Exchange Shares and the Unrestricted Parent Exchange Shares are
      hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Acquisition Consideration."

           (b) Fractional Shares.  No fraction of a share of Parent Common
      Stock shall be issued, but in lieu thereof the Company (or at the
      Company's request each Member who would otherwise be entitled to a
      fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock upon the


                                     - 5 -

      dissolution of the Company) shall be paid an amount in cash equal to the
      value of such fraction of a share based upon the closing sale price of
      Parent Common Stock, on any securities exchange or quotation system on
      which the shares of Parent Common Stock are then listed or quoted on the
      last day on which there is a reported trade in the Parent Common Stock
      prior to the Closing Date.  No interest shall be paid on such amount. All
      outstanding Membership Interests shall be aggregated for purposes of
      computing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued
      pursuant to this Section 1.5 and cash in lieu of fractional shares payable
      hereunder.

           (c) No Dilution.  If, on or before the Closing Date, Parent (i)
      declares any dividend payable in shares of Parent Common Stock, or (ii)
      splits or combines or reclassifies the outstanding shares of Parent
      Common Stock, the number of shares (or fraction of a share subject to the
      provisions of Section 1.5(b) hereof) of the Restricted Parent Exchange
      Shares (but not the Unrestricted Parent Exchange Shares) to be exchanged
      for the Assets of the Company will be appropriately adjusted.
      Notwithstanding the preceding, the number of shares of the Restricted
      Parent Exchange Shares shall not be adjusted for any shares of Parent
      Common Stock issued after the date hereof (i) in the Popmail Acquisition
      or the acquisition by Parent or a subsidiary thereof of any other entity,
      (ii) for cash or a promissory note, and (iii) pursuant to stock options,
      stock warrants or convertible securities outstanding as of the date
      hereof.

           (d) Delivery  of Parent Exchange Shares.  On or prior to the Closing
      Date, Parent or Sub shall deliver, or caused to be delivered, to the
      Company the certificates representing the Restricted Parent Exchange
      Shares and the Unrestricted Parent Exchange Shares along with the cash
      required to effect the exchange referred to in Section 1.5(b) above.

           (e) Inspection of Books and Records.  The Members shall have the
      right, at the expense of the Members, to inspect the books and records of
      Parent to verify any adjustment required to be made pursuant to the
      provisions of Section 1.5(c) in the number of shares of the Parent Common
      Stock owned by the Members during the normal business hours of Parent
      upon reasonable request to Parent.

      1.6  Closing.  The closing of the Merger (the "Closing") shall take place
(i) at the offices of Thompson & Knight, P.C., 1700 Pacific Avenue, Suite 3300,
Dallas, Texas, at 9:00 a.m., local time, on or before the 61st calendar day
after the date on which the closing under the Popmail Merger Agreement occurs
or (ii) at such other time or place or on such other date as the parties hereto
shall agree.  The date on which the Closing is required to take place is herein
referred to as the "Closing Date."  The transfer of the Assets and the Acquired
Business as provided in this Agreement shall be effected by deeds, bills of
sale, endorsements, assignments, drafts, checks and other instruments of
transfer and conveyance in that form necessary to effectively transfer all of
the Company's Assets and the Acquired Business to Sub as specified by this
Agreement and as reasonably required by Parent, Sub or their counsel.  The
assignment and assumption of the Assumed Liabilities as provided in this
Agreement shall be effected by an assignment and assumption agreement and other
instruments of assignment and assumption in the form necessary to effectively
assign all of the


                                     - 6 -



<PAGE>   14


Assumed Liabilities to Sub and to have Sub fully assume all the Assumed
Liabilities as specified by this Agreement and as reasonably required by the
Company or its counsel.  All Closing transactions shall be deemed to have
occurred simultaneously.

      1.7  Liquidation and Dissolution of the Company.  Promptly after the
Closing Date but not later than 10 calendar days after the Closing Date, the
Company shall proceed, and the Members shall cause the Company to proceed, with
due diligence to wind up the Company's affairs, liquidate, and distribute the
Company's remaining assets, including the Acquisition Consideration received
pursuant to the exchange, to the Members and voluntarily dissolve the Company.
In connection with the winding up of the Company's affairs, the Company shall
proceed promptly after the Closing Date to prepare and file all income Tax
Returns and reports required under Applicable Law, covering all periods (or
portions of any period) ending on or before the Closing Date for which Tax
Returns and reports have not previously been filed.

      1.8  Release by Members.  Each Member as of the Closing, with the intent
of binding such Member and the heirs, executors, personal representatives,
successors and assigns of such Member hereby unconditionally releases, acquits
and forever discharges the Company, Sub, Parent and their respective
successors, assigns, officers, directors, managers, attorneys, accountants and
insurers from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, debts,
sums of money, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises,
obligations, costs, expenses, damages, or any other claim or demand whatsoever
of whatever kind, character and description, whether based on facts presently
known or hereafter discovered, whether suspected or unsuspected, whether based
upon statutory law or common law, whether in contract, administrative or tort,
whether liquidated or unliquidated, matured or unmatured, disclosed and
undisclosed, which has accrued or which may ever accrue to such Member or the
heirs, personal representatives, successors or assigns of such Member for and
on account of any matter, cause or thing relating to, arising out of or in any
way connected with the ownership of Membership Interests of such Member (except
as against the Company, to the Member's allocable share of the Acquisition
Consideration upon the liquidation and dissolution of the Company), the
employment, if applicable, of such Member by the Company prior to the Closing
Date (except as to compensation and benefits earned and accrued by the Member
but unpaid by the Company and claims, if any, arising under this Agreement), or
the operation, acts or inactions of the Company and its officers and managers
prior to the Closing Date (the "Released Claims").  Each Member represents and
warrants to the Company, Parent and Sub that such Member has not assigned or
otherwise transferred expressly, impliedly or by operation of law any Released
Claim or any interest in or portion of any such claim, and that all Released
Claims of such Member are owned by such Member, who has the sole authority to
release them.  This Release is for any relief, no matter how denominated,
including, but not limited to, distributions pertaining to Membership Interest
(other than for such Member's share of (i) the Acquisition Consideration upon
the liquidation and dissolution of the Company, and (ii) compensation and
benefits earned and accrued, if any, by the Member but unpaid by the Company.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions to the contrary, the parties
hereto specifically acknowledge the foregoing provisions shall not relate to or
otherwise be effective in connection with any claims that any Member may have
against Parent or Sub for the failure of Parent or Sub to fulfill its
obligations to such Member as set forth in this Agreement or the exhibits
attached hereto.  Each Member agrees and covenants that in no event will


                                     - 7 -



<PAGE>   15


such Member commence any litigation or other legal or administrative proceeding
against the Company, Parent or Sub, and their respective officers, directors
and managers, whether in law or equity, whether in contract, administrative, or
tort, relating to any and all Released Claims.

presently proposed to be conducted.  The Company is not qualified to do
business as a foreign limited liability company in any state, and the Company
is not required to be qualified to do business in any state other than Texas in
which the nature of its business or its ownership of property requires it to be

Organization and Regulations of the Company as currently in effect, (ii) the
ownership records of the Company and (iii) the minutes of all meetings of the

respects, all actions taken by such members, managers and committees. The

transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by the

by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated hereby do not (i) conflict with or result in a violation of any
provision of the Articles of Organization or Regulations of the Company, (ii)
except as otherwise set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule, constitute a
default under, or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, or
acceleration under any material bond, debenture, note, mortgage, indenture,
lease, contract, agreement, or other instrument or obligation to which the
Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its properties may be
bound, (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Encumbrance upon the
properties of the Company, or (iv) violate any Applicable Law binding upon the
Company except, in the case of clauses (ii), (iii), and (iv) above, for any
such conflicts, violations, defaults, terminations, cancellations,
accelerations or Encumbrances which would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

      2.5  Value of Parent.  The Company and the Members acknowledge that they
have had access to adequate information to assess the value of Parent and Sub.
The Company and the Members expressly waive any and all claims against Parent
and Sub and their respective directors, officers or shareholders relating to

respective directors, officers or shareholders with respect to such valuation.

authority or any other Person is required to be obtained by the Company in
connection with its execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or

deliver such Member's Membership Interest to the Company upon the liquidation
and dissolution of the Company in exchange for such Member's allocable share of

forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule, none of the Members has granted any
proxy with respect to any of the Membership Interests, deposited all or any
portion of the Membership Interests into a voting trust, or entered into any
voting agreement with respect to the Membership Interests.  The Membership
Interests were issued to the Members in transactions exempt from the
registration requirements of and otherwise in compliance with all applicable
federal and state securities laws.  Except as otherwise set forth in the
Company Disclosure Schedule, there are (and as of the Closing Date there will

into or exchangeable for equity securities or other voting securities of the
Company, (iii) no options or other rights to acquire from the Company, and no
obligation of the Company to issue or sell, any equity securities or other
voting securities of the Company or any securities of the Company convertible
into or exchangeable for equity or other voting securities and (iv) no equity

securities of any corporation or have any direct or indirect equity or
ownership interest in any other person.  The Company does not have any direct
or indirect equity or ownership interest in any corporation, partnership, joint
venture, or other entity which is involved, directly or indirectly, in the
conduct of the business of the Company and the business of the Company is
conducted solely by the Company.

      2.9  Financial Statements.  The Company has delivered to Parent and Sub
copies of its (i) unaudited balance sheet, as of March 31, 1999 (the "Company's
Latest Balance Sheet") and the Company will deliver to Parent and Sub by July
30, 1999 a copy of its unaudited balance sheet as of June 30, 1999 and its
unaudited statement of operations for the eleven-month period then ended
(collectively, the "Company's Latest Financial Statements"), and (ii) the
unaudited balance sheet, as of December 31, 1998 and its unaudited statement of
operations for the period then ended (the "Company's Year-end Financial
Statements," and, collectively, the "Company's Financial Statements").  The
Company's Financial Statements are true and correct, are based upon the
information contained in the books and records of the Company and fairly
present the financial condition of the Company as of the dates thereof and
results of operations, members' equity and cash flows for the periods referred
to therein.  The Company's Year-end Financial Statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied
throughout the periods indicated.  Except as otherwise set forth in the Company
Disclosure Schedule, the Company's Latest Financial Statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable
to unaudited interim financial statements (and thus may not contain all notes
which are required to be prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles) consistent with Company's Year-end Financial Statements
and


                                     - 10 -

reflect all adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the interim period(s) presented.  The
Company will, at Parent's expense, provide such audited financial statements as
may be requested by Parent.

      2.10 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities.  Except as disclosed in its
balance sheet for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, the Company has no
material liabilities (whether accrued, absolute, contingent, unliquidated or
otherwise, whether due or to become due, whether known or unknown, and
regardless of when asserted) arising out of transactions or events heretofore
entered into, or any action or inaction, or any state of facts existing, with
respect to or based upon transactions or events heretofore occurring, except
liabilities which have arisen after December 31, 1998 in the Ordinary Course of
Business (none of which is a material uninsured liability for breach of
contract, breach of warranty, tort, infringement, claim or lawsuit) and other
liabilities which, in the aggregate, are not material to the Company.

      2.11 No Material Adverse Changes.  Since December 31, 1998, there has not
been any material adverse change in, or any event or condition that might
reasonably be expected to result in any material adverse change in, the assets,
financial condition, operating results, customer, employee or supplier
relations, business condition or prospects of the Company.

      2.12 Tax Matters.  Except as set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule:

      by or relating to any of them prior to the Closing relating to any Taxes
      with respect to any income, properties or operations of the Company prior
      to the Closing Date.  For federal income tax purposes, the Company has
      elected to be taxed as a corporation, and the Company has been taxed as a
      corporation since its formation;

           (b) as of the time of filing, the Tax Returns of the Company:

                 (i) correctly reflected (and, as to any Tax Returns not filed
            as of the date hereof, will correctly reflect) in all material
            respects the facts regarding the income, business, assets,
            operations, activities and status of the Company and any other
            information required to be shown therein;

                (ii) constitute (and, as to any Tax Returns not filed as of the
            date hereof, will constitute) complete and accurate representations
            of the Tax liabilities for the periods covered; and

               (iii) accurately set forth all items (to the extent required to
            be included or reflected in the Tax Returns) relevant to future Tax
            liabilities, including the Tax bases of properties and assets;

<PAGE>   19

           (c) The Company has timely paid all Taxes that have been shown as
      due and payable on the Tax Returns that have been filed;

           (d) The Company has established a reserve (in accordance with
      generally accepted accounting principles) on the Company's Latest
      Financial Statements for any Taxes that relate to past periods but are
      not yet due; and will establish such a reserve for all other Taxes
      payable for any periods that end before the Closing for which no Tax
      Returns have yet been filed and for any periods that begin before the
      Closing and end after the Closing to the extent such Taxes are
      attributable to the portion of any such period ending at the Closing;

           (e) The charges, accruals and reserves for Taxes reflected on the
      Company's Latest Financial Statements are adequate to cover the Tax
      liabilities accruing or payable by the Company in respect of periods (or
      portions of any period) ending on or before the date hereof;

           (f) The Company is not delinquent in the payment of any Taxes and
      has not requested any extension of time within which to file or send any
      Tax Return, which Tax Return has not since been filed or sent;

           (g) To the Company's and the Member's Knowledge, no deficiency for
      any Taxes has been proposed, asserted or assessed against the Company (or
      any member of any affiliated or combined group of which the Company is or
      has been a member for which the Company could be liable for Taxes);

           (h) The Company has not granted any extension of the limitation
      period applicable to any Tax claims and the Company has not waived any
      such limitation period;

           (i) The Company is not and has not been a party to any tax sharing
      agreement with any corporation which, as of the Company, is not a member
      of the affiliated group of which the Company is a member;

           (k) No Tax is required to be withheld pursuant to Section 1445 of
      the Code as a result of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement;

           (l) Neither the Company nor any affiliate is a party to any
      agreement, contract plan or arrangement that has resulted or would
      result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of any "excess
      parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and
      the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will
      not be a factor causing payments to be made by the Company that are not
      deductible (in whole or in part) under Section 280G of the Code;



                                     - 12 -

           (m) To the Company's and the Controlling Members' Knowledge, no
      examinations of the Tax Returns of the Company are currently in progress
      or, to the Knowledge of the Company and the Controlling Members,
      threatened and no deficiencies have been asserted or assessed against the
      Company as a result of any audit by the Internal Revenue Service or any
      other taxing authority and no such deficiency has been proposed or

      yet due and payable) upon the assets of the Company.

      2.13 Litigation.  Except as provided in the Company Disclosure Schedule,
there are no Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company and the
Controlling Members, threatened against the Company, at law or in equity, or
before or by any Governmental Entity.

      2.14 Title to Properties.  The Company has good and indefeasible title to
all properties (real, personal, and mixed, tangible and intangible) it owns or
purports to own, including without limitation the properties reflected in its
books and records and in the Company's Latest Balance Sheet, other than those
disposed of after the date of such balance sheet in accordance with this
Agreement or in the Ordinary Course of Business, free and clear of all
Encumbrances, except as set forth in the Company's Latest Balance Sheet as
securing specific liabilities, liens for Taxes not yet due and payable,
statutory liens (including materialmen's, mechanic's, repairmen's, landlord's,
and other similar liens) arising in connection with the Ordinary Course of
Business securing payments not yet due and payable, and such imperfections or
irregularities of title, if any, as (A) are not substantial in character,
amount, or extent and do not materially detract from the value of the property
subject thereto, (B) do not materially interfere with either the present or
intended use of such property, and (C) do not, individually or in the
aggregate, materially interfere with the conduct of the Company's normal
operations.  No financing statement (or other instrument sufficient or
effective as a financing statement) under the Uniform Commercial Code with
respect to any properties of the Company has been filed and is effective in any
jurisdiction, and the Company has not signed any such financing statement (or
other instrument) or any mortgage or security agreement authorizing any secured
party thereunder to file any such financing statement (or other instrument).

      2.15 Intellectual Property.  As used herein, the term "Intellectual

Parent is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in Ohio and
Colorado, which are the only states in which the nature of its business or its

delivery and performance of this Agreement by each of Parent and Sub and the
Ancillary Documents to which Parent or Sub are a party and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly
authorized by all requisite corporate action, and no other corporate
proceedings are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery or performance
of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which Parent or Sub are a
party.  This Agreement has been, and each of the Ancillary Agreements to be
executed by Parent and Sub at Closing will be, duly executed and delivered by
each of Parent and Sub and constitute the valid and binding obligation of each,
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

      3.3 No Breach.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
by each of Parent and Sub and the Ancillary Documents to which Parent or Sub
are a party and the consummation by them of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby do not (i) conflict with or result in a violation of any
provision of the charter or bylaws of either Parent or Sub, (ii) constitute a
default under, or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, or
acceleration under any material bond, debenture, note, mortgage, indenture,
lease, contract, agreement, or other instrument or obligation to which Parent
or Sub is a party or by which either of them or any of their properties may be
bound, (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Encumbrance upon the
properties of Parent or Sub, or (iv) violate any Applicable Law binding upon
Parent or Sub except, in the case of clauses (ii), (iii), and (iv) above, for
any such conflicts, violations, defaults, terminations, cancellations,
accelerations or Encumbrances which would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent.

      3.4 Governmental Authorities; Consents.  Other than with respect to any
securities law reporting obligation or the filing of any pre-Acquisition
notification form required by the HSR Act, neither Parent nor Sub is required
to submit any notice, report or other filing with any governmental authority in
connection with their respective execution or delivery of this Agreement or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and no consent, approval
or authorization of any governmental or regulatory authority or any other
Person is required to be obtained by either Parent or Sub in connection with

authorizations which, if not obtained, would not have a Material Adverse Effect
on Parent.

      3.5  Capital Stock.  The authorized capital stock of Parent consists of
100,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 2,000 shares have been designated
as Series A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock, 5,000 shares have been designated as
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and 2,000 shares have been designated as

of Series A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C 8% Convertible
Preferred Stock have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.  The Parent Disclosure Schedule lists all warrants, options,
conversion rights and agreements to purchase or otherwise acquire from Parent
any shares of capital stock or other securities of Parent outstanding as of

balance sheet, as of April 30, 1999 ("Parent's Latest Balance Sheet") and its
unaudited statement of operations for the four-month period ended April 30,
1999 (collectively, "Parent's Latest Financial Statements").  Parent's Latest
Financial Statements and its balance sheet as of January 3, 1999 and statement
of operations for the year ended January 3, 1999 ("Parent's Year-end Financial
Statements," and collectively, "Parent's Financial Statements"), as well as the
other audited financial statements and unaudited interim financial statements
of Parent included in Parent's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission are true and correct, are based upon the information contained in
the books and records of Parent and fairly present the financial condition of
Parent as of the dates thereof and results of operations, shareholders' equity
and cash flows for the periods referred to therein.  Parent's Year-end
Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, consistently applied throughout the periods indicated.
Parent's Latest Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applicable to unaudited interim
financial statements (and thus may not contain all notes which are required to
be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles)
consistent with Parent's Year-end Financial Statements and reflect all
adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the interim period(s) presented.

      3.7  Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities.  Except as disclosed in its
balance sheet for the fiscal year ended January 3, 1999, Parent has no material
liabilities (whether accrued, absolute, contingent, unliquidated or otherwise,
whether due or to become due, whether known or unknown, and regardless of when
asserted) arising out of transactions or events heretofore entered into, or any
action or inaction, or any state of facts existing, with respect to or based
upon transactions or events heretofore occurring, except liabilities which have
arisen after January 3, 1999 in the Ordinary Course of Business (none of which
is a material uninsured liability for breach of contract, breach of warranty,
tort, infringement, claim or lawsuit) and other liabilities which, in the
aggregate, are not material to Parent.

      3.8  No Material Adverse Changes.  Since January 3, 1999, there has not

relations, business condition or prospects of Parent.

      the Closing, timely file, be included in or send all Tax Returns required
      to be filed or sent by or relating to any of them prior to the Closing

           (b) As of the time of filing, the Tax Returns of the Parent Group:

                 (i) Correctly reflected (and, as to any Tax Returns not filed

            respects the facts regarding the income, business, assets,
            operations, activities and status of the Parent Group and any other
            information required to be shown therein;

                (ii) Constitute (and, as to any Tax Returns not filed as of the

      for any Taxes that relate to past periods but are not yet due; and will

      end before the Closing for which no Tax Returns have yet been filed and
      for any periods that begin before the Closing and end after the Closing
      to the extent such Taxes are attributable to the portion of any such
      period ending at the Closing;

           (e) The charges, accruals and reserves for Taxes reflected on
      Parent's Latest Financial Statements are adequate to cover the Tax
      liabilities accruing or payable by Parent in respect of periods prior to
      the date hereof;

      which Parent could be liable for Taxes);

           (h) Parent has not granted any extension of the limitation period

      contract plan or arrangement that has resulted or would result,
      separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of any "excess parachute
      payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the
      consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not
      be a factor causing payments to be made by Parent that are not deductible
      (in whole or in part) under Section 280G of the Code;

           (m) To Parent's Knowledge, no examinations of the Tax Returns of
      any member of the Parent Group are currently in progress or, to the

           (a) Parent has listed all Plans maintained by Parent or any
      subsidiary of Parent on the Parent Disclosure Schedule, and no trust
      funds are so maintained in connection with any employee welfare benefit

           (f) Parent is not and has never been a member of a controlled group
      of corporations, an unincorporated trade or business under common
      control, or a member of an affiliated service group (as such terms are
      defined in Sections 414(b), 414(c) and 414(m) of the Code), involving any
      other entity.

           (g) Parent does not maintain any employee benefit plan providing

      3.13 Compliance with Laws; Permits.

           (a) Parent and its officers, directors, agents and employees in
      their capacity as such have complied in all material respects with all
      Applicable Laws, regulations and other requirements which materially
      affect the business of Parent and to which Parent may be subject, and,
      except as set forth on the Parent Disclosure Schedule no claims have been
      filed against Parent alleging a violation of any such laws, regulations
      or other requirements.  Parent has no Knowledge of any such action.

           (b) Parent has, in full force and effect, all Permits necessary to
      conduct its business and own and operate its properties.  A true, correct
      and complete list of all the Permits held by Parent is set forth on the
      Parent Disclosure Schedule.  Parent has conducted its business in all
      material respects in compliance with all material terms and conditions of
      such Permits.

      3.14 SEC Filings.  Parent has delivered to the Company copies of the

                                     - 28 -



<PAGE>   36


Registration Statement of Parent as filed with the Commission on June 8, 1999,
(v) Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-3 Registration Statement of Parent as filed
with the Commission on June 25, 1999, and (vi) the Form 8-K of Parent as filed
with the Commission on June 22, 1999.  Parent has filed all reports,
registration statements and other documents required to be filed by it under
the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")
(the "SEC Filings").  Parent has delivered to or made available for inspection
by the Company and the Members accurate and complete copies of all the SEC
Filings in the form filed by Parent with the Commission since November 1, 1997.
The SEC Filings were prepared in accordance and complied in all material
respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act, as applicable.  None of such forms, reports and statements, including,
without limitation, any financial statements, exhibits and schedules included
therein and incorporated therein by reference, at the time filed, declared
effective or mailed, as the case may be, contained an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  Except to the extent
information contained in any of the SEC Filings has been revised, corrected or
superseded by a later-filed form, report or document, none of the SEC Filings
filed after January 1, 1997 currently contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

      3.15 Brokerage.  No third party shall be entitled to receive any brokerage
commissions, finder's fees, fees for financial advisory services or similar
compensation in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
based on any arrangement or agreement made by or on behalf of Parent or Sub or
any affiliate thereof.

      3.16 Validity of Parent Common.  The shares of Parent Common Stock to be
issued to the Company pursuant to this Agreement have been duly authorized and,
upon issuance, delivery and payment therefor, will be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.

      3.17 Representations as to Qualification as a "C" Reorganization.

           (a) Value of Parent Common Stock.  The fair market value of the
      Parent Common Stock plus cash in lieu of fractional shares received by
      the Company and distributed to each Member will be approximately equal to
      the fair market value of the Membership Interest surrendered in the
      exchange.

           (b) No Plan to Reacquire Parent Common Stock.  Neither Parent nor
      Sub (nor, to the Knowledge of Parent and Sub, any Related Person to
      Parent or Sub) has any plan or intention to redeem or otherwise
      reacquire, directly or indirectly through any transaction, agreement or
      arrangement with any other Person, any of the Parent Common Stock to be
      issued in the Acquisition or to make any extraordinary distributions with
      respect to such stock.



                                     - 29 -



<PAGE>   37

           (c) No Intention to Sell Assets.  Sub has no plan or intention to
      sell or otherwise dispose of any of the assets of the Company acquired in
      the transaction, except for dispositions made in the ordinary course of
      business or transfers described in Section 368(a)(2)(C) of the Code.

           (d) Continuity of Business.  Following the transaction, Sub will
      continue the historic business of the Company or use a significant
      portion of the Company's historic assets in a business.

           (e) Payment of Expenses.  Except as otherwise set forth in Section
      6.11 hereof, Parent, Sub, the Company and the Members will pay their
      respective expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the transaction.

           (f) Intercorporate Indebtedness.  There is no intercorporate
      indebtedness existing between either Parent or Sub and the Company that
      was issued, acquired, or will be settled at a discount.

           (g) No Investment Company.  No two parties to the transaction are
      investment companies as defined in Section 368(a)(2)(F)(iii) of the Code.

           (h) No Equity Interest in the Company.  Neither Parent nor Sub owns,
      directly or indirectly, nor has Parent or Sub owned during the past five
      years, directly or indirectly, any membership interests in the Company.

           (i) Fractional Shares.  The payment of cash in lieu of fractional
      shares of Parent Common Stock is solely for the purpose of avoiding the
      expense and inconvenience to Parent of issuing fractional shares and does
      not represent separately bargained-for consideration.  The total cash
      consideration that will be paid to the Members instead of using
      fractional shares will not exceed one percent of the total consideration
      that will be issued in the transaction to the Members in exchange for
      their Membership Interests.  The fractional share interests of each
      Member will be aggregated, and no Member will receive cash in an amount
      greater than the value of one full share of Parent Common Stock.

           (j) Continuation of Sub.  Parent has no plan or intention to
      liquidate Sub, to merge Sub into another corporation, or to sell or
      otherwise dispose of the stock of Sub.

           (k) Actions of Parent and Sub.  Neither Parent nor Sub shall take
      any action that would jeopardize the characterization of the Acquisition
      as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the
      Code without first obtaining a legal opinion that such action should not
      prevent the Acquisition from qualifying as a reorganization.

           (l) Ownership of Sub.  Sub is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

<PAGE>   38

            (m) Member-Employees.  None of the shares of Parent Common Stock
      received by any Member-employee of the Company pursuant to the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be separate consideration
      for, or allocable to, any employment agreement; and the compensation paid
      to any Member-employees after the Closing Date will be for services
      actually rendered and will be commensurate with amounts paid to third
      parties bargaining at arm's-length for similar services.

            (n) Valid Business Reason.  There is a valid business reason for
      not issuing all of the Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to this
      Agreement on the Closing Date; that is, the difficulty in determining the
      relative values of the Company and Parent.

      3.18  Representations and Warranties on Closing.  The representations and
warranties made in this Article III will be true and correct in all material
respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if
such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the Closing
Date, except that any such representations and warranties which expressly
relate only to an earlier date shall be true and correct on the Closing Date as
of such earlier date.

            Proceeding; provided further, however, that if the Company or the
            Controlling Members propose to make such disclosure based upon such
            opinion of counsel, it shall advise and consult with Parent and Sub
            before such disclosure concerning the information or data it
            proposes to disclose and shall give Parent an opportunity to seek a
            protective order or other appropriate remedy to foreclose such
            disclosure without penalty to the Company or the Controlling
            Members.

                (ii) Except as and to the extent required by Applicable Law and

            Agreement (a) without the prior written consent of the Company and
            the Controlling Members, (b) until such information or data has been

            Governmental Entity, audit, defense or prosecution of a Proceeding;
            provided further, however, that if Parent or Sub propose to make
            such disclosure based upon such opinion of counsel, they shall
            advise and consult with the Company and the Controlling Members
            before such disclosure concerning the information or data it
            proposes to disclose and shall give

            the Company and the Controlling Members an opportunity to seek a
            protective order or other appropriate remedy to foreclose such
            disclosure without penalty to Parent or Sub.

               (iii) If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, upon the
            written request of the Company, Parent and its affiliates and
            representatives shall promptly return to the Company or destroy any
            Company Confidential Information in their possession and shall
            certify in writing to the Company that they have done so.
            Similarly, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, upon the
            written request of Parent, the Company and the Controlling Members

likely to cause any representation or warranty contained in Article II to be
untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at or prior to the Closing and

(i) the discovery of any fact or circumstance which would be likely to cause
any representation or warranty contained in Article III to be untrue or
inaccurate at or prior to the Closing, (ii) the occurrence or nonoccurrence of
any event which would be likely to cause any representation or warranty
contained in Article III to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at

comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with
or satisfied by Parent or Sub hereunder or in any Ancillary Document.  The
delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall not be deemed to (i)
modify the representations or warranties hereunder of the party delivering such
notice, (ii) modify the conditions set forth in Articles VII and VIII or (iii)
limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party
receiving such notice; provided, however, that if the Closing shall occur, then

shall be waived and no party shall be entitled to make a claim thereon pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement.

      6.4   Reasonable Best Efforts.  Each party hereto agrees that it will not
voluntarily undertake any course of action inconsistent with the provisions or
intent of this Agreement and will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or
cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things
reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Laws to consummate
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation,
(i) cooperation in determining whether any other consents, approvals, orders,
authorizations, waivers, declarations, filings or registrations of or with any
Governmental Entity or third party are required in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) using its reasonable
best efforts to obtain any such consents, approvals, orders, authorizations and
waivers required to consummate


                                     - 36 -



<PAGE>   44


the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to effect any such
declarations, filings and registrations, (iii) using its reasonable best
efforts to cause to be lifted or rescinded any injunction or restraining order
or other order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby, (iv) using its reasonable best efforts to
defend, and to cooperate in defending, all lawsuits or other Proceedings
challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated

applicable, to be satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date and (vi) the
execution of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby.

      6.5   Public Announcements.  Except as may be required by Applicable Law
or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities
exchange, neither Parent and Sub, on the one hand, nor the Company, on the
other, shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement
with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without
the prior written consent of the other party.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, each party prior to or after Closing or termination
of this Agreement, as applicable, may issue any press release or make any
public statement without approval of the other as may be required by law,
provided the party issuing the press release or making such statement shall
give prior notice thereof to the other party and consult with the other party
as to the contents thereof.

      6.6   Indemnification of Claims of Brokers.  The Controlling Members, on
the one hand, and Parent, on the other, shall indemnify and hold each other
harmless from any claim or demand for commission or other compensation by any
broker, finder, agent or similar intermediary claiming to have been employed by
or on behalf of the Company or Parent or any of Parent's affiliates, as the
case may be, and shall bear the cost of legal fees and expenses incurred in
defending against any such claim.

obligations hereunder and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to
consummate the Acquisition as contemplated herein.

      6.8   Characteristics of Parent Common Stock.  The Parent Common Stock
owned, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, by the
current holders of Membership Interests will have no less favorable
characteristics (as to voting rights, liquidity, transferability,
anti-dilution, price or any other material characteristics) than any other
common equity securities of the same issuer, provided that the Parent Common
Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement shall not be registered under any
Federal or State securities law and will therefore be subject to legal
restrictions on transfer.

      6.9   Amendment of Schedules.  Each party hereto agrees that, with respect
to the representations and warranties of such party contained in this
Agreement, such party shall have the continuing obligation until the Closing to
supplement or amend the Schedules hereto with respect to any matter hereafter
arising or discovered which, if existing or known at the date of this
Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in the
Schedules. For all purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation for
purposes of determining whether the conditions


                                     - 37 -



<PAGE>   45


set forth in Sections 7.1 and 8.1 have been fulfilled, the Schedules hereto
shall be deemed to include only that information contained therein on the date
of this Agreement and shall be deemed to exclude all information contained in
any supplement or amendment thereto; provided, however, that if the Closing
shall occur, then all matters disclosed pursuant to any such supplement or
amendment at or prior to the Closing shall be waived and no party shall be
entitled to make a claim thereon pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

      6.10  Further Assurances.  At and after the Closing Date, the directors
and officers of Sub shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and
on behalf of the Company or Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or
assurances, and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or
Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or
otherwise in Sub any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of
the rights, properties or assets of the Company or Sub acquired or to be
acquired by Sub as a result of, or in connection with, the Acquisition.
Further, at and after the Closing Date, the directors and officers of Sub, or
the managers and officers of the Company, shall be authorized to execute and
deliver, on the name and on behalf of Sub or the Company, respectively, as
required, any instruments of assignment and assumption necessary to effectively
assign all of the Assumed Liabilities to Sub and to have Sub fully assume all
the Assumed Liabilities as specified by this Agreement.

      6.11  Fees and Expenses.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, all fees and expenses, including fees and expenses of counsel,
financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring
such fee or expense.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Closing shall
occur, Parent will at Closing pay the Company's attorneys and accountants
directly for reasonable attorney's fees, accounting fees, and expenses incurred
by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement provided that the amount and nature of such fees and expenses to be
so paid shall be appropriately documented to Parent's reasonable satisfaction.
In addition, if the Closing shall have occurred, Parent shall bear the expense
of relocating the business of the Company into such facilities as may be agreed
upon by Parent and the Company.

      6.12  Capital Contributions; Guarantee of LegacyMaker, Inc.  For the
purpose of funding Sub's operations and growth, Parent shall make an aggregate
capital contribution to Sub of $2,000,000, payable to Sub in four equal
installments of $500,000, payable on the day after Closing and upon the 90th,
180th and 270th day thereafter (the "Parent Capital Contributions").  The
Parent Capital Contributions will be considered equity contributions of
additional paid-in-capital to Sub by Parent.  Parent shall cause the payment of
the Parent Capital Contributions to be guaranteed by LegacyMaker, Inc. and
shall cause LegacyMaker to deliver at Closing a guarantee agreement to such
effect (the "LegacyMaker Guarantee").  The LegacyMaker Guarantee shall be
substantially in the form of the Guarantee attached hereto as Exhibit 6.12.  At
Closing, LegacyMaker shall have cash or marketable securities having an
aggregate value of not less than $2,000,000.

      6.13  Adjustment of Restricted Parent Exchange Shares.  If and only if the
aggregate value of the Restricted Parent Exchange Shares (as adjusted for any
shares of Parent Common Stock received or surrendered by the Members as the
result of a stock split, stock dividend, combination,


                                     - 38 -



<PAGE>   46


reclassification, recapitalization or other distribution payable in Parent
Common Stock) is less than $2,550,000 on the first anniversary of the Closing
Date based upon the average of the closing sales prices of a share of Parent
Common Stock as reported on a national securities exchange or quotation system
for each trading day in the 60-calendar day period ending on the day before the
day that is the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the 60-Day Average
Adjusted Price"), then Parent shall issue the Additional Restricted Parent
Exchange Shares to the Members within 10 days after the first anniversary of
the Closing Date.  For purposes of this Agreement the Additional Restricted
Parent Exchange Shares shall mean shares of Parent Common Stock equal in the
aggregate to the lesser of (i) the minimum number of shares of Parent Common
Stock required to be issued to the Members so that the aggregate value of the
Restricted Parent Exchange Shares as determined in accordance with the prior
provisions of this Section and such additional shares valued at the 60-Day
Average Adjusted Price equals $2,550,000, or (ii) the aggregate number of the
Restricted Parent Exchange Shares issued to the Members at the Closing.  Such
Additional Restricted Parent Exchange Shares, if any, shall be allocated among
the Members in proportion to their respective Membership Interests.  The
parties to this Agreement shall treat the issuance of any Additional Restricted
Parent Exchange Shares pursuant to this Section as additional Acquisition
Consideration.  The Members' rights to receive Additional Restricted Parent
Exchange Shares pursuant to this Section are not assignable except by operation
of law.

      6.14  Management of Sub.  On the Closing Date, Palms and Schneider shall
become employed by Sub.  On the Closing Date, Schneider shall be elected Chief
Executive Officer of Sub and shall perform the functions and bear the
responsibilities typical of such office, including responsibility for
personnel, budgets, marketing, products, product development, sales and overall
direction of Sub.  On the Closing Date, Parent, acting through its board of
directors, shall increase the number of its directors by one and elect
Schneider as a director of Parent to fill such vacancy.  For so long as
Schneider shall remain CEO of the Sub he shall (i) be entitled to nominate one
member for election to the board of directors of Parent in the same way other
board members are nominated and submitted for election by the shareholders of

      Liabilities (collectively "Member Claims").  Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, the indemnification obligations of Parent pursuant to this
      Section 10.3 shall be subject to the following limitations:

                 (i) No indemnification shall be required to be made by Parent
            pursuant to this Article X with respect to any Member Claims to the
            extent that the aggregate amount of Damages incurred by the Members
            exceeds $255,000.

                (ii) No indemnification shall be required to be made by Parent
            pursuant to this Article X with respect to any Member Claims unless
            and until the aggregate amount of Damages incurred by the
            Controlling Members with respect to all Member Claims exceeds
            $50,000, it being agreed and understood that, if such amount is
            exceeded, Parent shall not be liable to the full extent of such
            Damages but shall be liable only to the extent that the aggregate
            amount of Damages incurred by the Members exceeds $50,000.

               (iii) The amount of Damages required to be paid by Parent to the
            Members pursuant to this Article X as a result of any Member Claim
            shall be reduced to the

            extent of any amounts to which the Members are entitled to receive
            pursuant to the terms of the insurance policies (if any) covering
            such Member Claim.

                (iv) The amount of Damages required to be paid by Parent to the
            Members pursuant to this Article X as a result of any Member Claim
            shall be reduced by the amount of any Tax benefit realized or to be
            realized by the Members Indemnitees as a result of such Member
            Claim (the "Member Claim Reduction Amount").  The Member Claim
            Reduction Amount shall be calculated on a present value basis using
            the appropriate applicable federal tax rate for the month that the
            Member Claim was suffered as specified under Section 1274(d) of the
            Code.

                 (v) No indemnification shall be required to be made by Parent
            pursuant to this Article X with respect to any Member Claims
            arising out of or resulting from the breach of the representations
            and warranties of Parent or Sub contained in Article III if Parent
            can establish that a Member had actual knowledge on or before the
            Closing Date of the event, occurrence, condition or circumstance
            constituting such breach.

                (vi) The indemnification obligations of Parent pursuant to this
            Article X shall be limited to actual damages and shall not include
            incidental, consequential, indirect, punitive or exemplary damages.

               (vii) All indemnification obligations of Parent shall be made in
            shares of Parent Common Stock having a fair market value based upon
            the 60-Day Average Adjusted Price equal to the amount of such
            obligation.

      10.4  Indemnification Procedure.

            (a) Parent Claims.  Parent shall give prompt written notice to the
      Member Representative of any claim or event with respect to which any
      Parent Indemnitee believes it is or may be entitled to indemnification
      pursuant to Section 10.2 (a "Notice of Parent Claim").  The Notice of
      Parent Claim shall set forth with reasonable specificity (i) the basis
      under this Agreement, and the facts that otherwise form the basis, of
      such Parent Claim, (ii) an estimate of the amount of the Damages related
      to such Parent Claim (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final
      amount of such Damages) and an explanation of the calculation of such
      estimate, including a statement of any significant assumptions employed
      therein, and (iii) the date on and manner in which the Parent Indemnitee
      became aware of the existence of such Parent Claim.

            If the Member Representative objects to either (i) the basis for the
      Parent Claim or (ii) the amount of Damages determined under Section 10.2
      related to the Parent Claim, the Member Representative shall give written
      notice of such objection to Parent within 20 consecutive Business Days
      following its receipt of the Notice of Parent Claim.  Within 10
      consecutive Business Days following Parent's receipt of such objection,
      the Member


                                     - 49 -



<PAGE>   57


      Representative and Parent shall attempt to mutually resolve any disputed
      issues.  If the Member Representative and Parent are unable to resolve
      the dispute, they shall submit the issue to an independent public
      accounting firm of recognized national standing (a "National Accounting
      Firm") mutually agreeable to the Member Representative and Parent to
      resolve the dispute and determine the amount of Damages, if any.  If the
      Member Representative and Parent cannot decide on a mutually agreeable
      National Accounting Firm, each of the Member Representative and Parent
      shall select one National Accounting Firm and the two National Accounting
      Firms so selected shall select a National Accounting Firm to resolve the
      dispute.  The National Accounting Firm so selected shall have the
      authority to retain any experts that are, in its discretion, necessary to
      assist it in resolving the dispute.  The costs and expenses of the
      National Accounting Firm charged in connection with this Section 10.4,
      including costs and expenses incurred to retain any experts and, if
      necessary, the costs and expenses of the National Accounting Firms
      selected by the Member Representative and Parent to select a National
      Accounting Firm, shall be borne equally by the Controlling Members and
      Parent.  Each of the Controlling Members, on the one hand, and Parent, on
      the other, shall be solely responsible for all other costs and expenses
      incurred by each of them pursuant to this Section 10.4.

            In the event the Parent Claim involves any action by an unaffiliated
      third party, no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by
      Parent without the Member Representative's consent (which shall not be
      unreasonably withheld).

            (b) Member Claims.  The Member Representative shall give prompt
      written notice to Parent of any claim or event with respect to which any
      Member believes it is or may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to
      Section 10.3 (a "Notice of Member Claim").  The Notice of Member Claim
      shall set forth with reasonable specificity (i) the basis under this
      Agreement, and the facts that otherwise form the basis, of such Member
      Claim, (ii) an estimate of the amount of the Damages related to such
      Member Claim (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount
      of such Damages) and an explanation of the calculation of such estimate,
      including a statement of any significant assumptions employed therein,
      and (iii) the date on and manner in which the Member became aware of the
      existence of such Member Claim.

            If Parent objects to either (i) the basis for the Member Claim or
      (ii) the amount of Damages determined under Section 10.3 related to the
      Member Claim, Parent shall giving written notice of such objection to the
      Member Representative within 20 consecutive Business Days following its
      receipt of the Notice of Member Claim.  Thereafter, the dispute shall be
      resolved in the same manner as is set forth in Section 10.4(a) with
      respect to a Parent Claim.

           In the event the Member Claim involves any action by an unaffiliated
      third party, no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the
      Controlling Members without Parent's consent (which shall not be
      unreasonably withheld).

      10.5  Member Representative.  For purposes of this Article X, the Members
shall be represented by Schneider or such other person (the "Member
Representative") as may be designated from time to time by the Members upon
written notice to Parent.  Parent shall (i) give the Member Representative and
its agents, representatives and advisors access to all employees, offices and
other facilities, and all books and records of the Parent and the Surviving
Corporation and (ii) furnish the Member Representative and its agents,
representatives and advisors with such financial and operating data and other
information with respect to Parent and the Surviving Corporation, in each case
as the Member Representative may reasonably require to verify the accuracy of
any Parent Claim or Damages alleged by any Parent Indemnitee.

      10.6  Sole Remedy.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the
Company, the Members, Parent and Sub acknowledge and agree that, following the
Closing, the indemnification provided in this Article X shall be the sole and
exclusive remedy available to the Members on the one hand and Parent and Sub on
the other hand with respect to any claims arising out of, based upon or in any
way connected with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including,
without limitation, for any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and
warranties set forth in Article II or Article III, except for any claim for
fraudulent inducement.  The provisions of the foregoing sentence shall apply
only to monetary damages and shall not restrict a party from seeking specific
performance or other nonmonetary and equitable remedies for breach of another
part of this Agreement.
