shortfall to Seller in cash within ten (10) days thereafter.
                  (c) An additional portion of the Purchase Price shall be paid
in the form of an earnout (the "First Earnout") with respect to the performance
of the Business as conducted by Seller from January 1, to December 31, 1998 (the
"First Earnout Period"). Buyer shall pay Seller 300% of EBIT (as defined in
paragraph (h)) for calendar year 1998 minus $1,250,000.
                  (d) An additional portion of the Purchase Price shall be paid
in the form of an earnout (the "Second Earnout") with respect to the performance

         150% of the closing price of such Shares on December 31, 1998 (the
         "1998 Earnout Share Price"). If, one year after the date such Shares
         are received, the per share value of such Shares is less then the 1998

         days of such date.
                  (f) Payment required to be made under paragraph (d) above, if

above, if any, shall be deemed earned and owing to Seller; provided, however,
that (i) no payment shall be made pursuant to paragraph (e) or (f) if Paul F.

his employment pursuant to Sections 4.3(a)(i) or (ii) of the Employment
Agreement, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit I, at any time during
the First Earnout Period, and (ii) no payment will be made pursuant to paragraph
(f) if Paul F. Eckert voluntarily terminates his employment with Buyer or if
Buyer terminates his employment pursuant to Sections 4.3(a)(i) or (ii) of the
Employment Agreement at any time during the Second Earnout Period. If Paul F.
Eckert terminates his employment as a result of death or disability, such
payments shall be deemed earned and owing to Seller as of the date of such
termination and the amount of such payments shall be determined by calculating
the Earnout as if the Earnout Period had ended on the date of such termination.
The immediate foregoing sentence shall not be applicable, however, if Suzanne

Earnout Periods which will result from Buyer's election to structure this
transaction as an "asset purchase" rather than as a "stock purchase". Seller's
accountants will initially compute the amounts payable under this paragraph (i)
and Seller will furnish the computed amounts to Buyer. If Buyer does not deliver
written objections within thirty (30) days thereafter, the amount computed by
Seller's accountants shall be binding. If Buyer delivers written objections
within the 30 day period, the matter shall be finally determined by an
independent accounting firm selected jointly by Seller and Buyer, and the
determination of such independent accounting firm shall be binding and
conclusive on all parties hereto. Buyer shall pay the appropriate amounts to

         9.1      Confidential Information. From and after the Closing, unless
expressly consented to in writing by Buyer, Shareholders and Seller shall not,
and shall use best efforts to cause all Transferred Employees and others not to,
directly or indirectly, use or disclose to any third person, any trade secret,
financial data, customer list, pricing or marketing policies or plans or other
proprietary or confidential information relating to the Business.
         9.2      Covenant Not to Compete. Shareholders agree that, unless
acting with the prior written consent of Buyer, they will not, directly or
indirectly:
                  (a) for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date,
within 100 miles of any office location for which Shareholders have management
responsibility, or for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date and
within 100 miles of a location in which there is any office or facility of the
Buyer: (i) without the prior written approval of Buyer, which approval may be
granted or denied in the sole discretion of the Buyer, directly or indirectly,
own, manage, operate, control, be employed by, consult with, participate in, or
be connected in any manner with the ownership, management, operation or control
of any business which engages, directly or indirectly, in the document imaging,
document management or business process consulting services in competition with
the Buyer's business as conducted on the date hereof; (ii) be or become a
stockholder, partner, owner, officer, director or employee or agent of, or a
consultant to or give financial or other assistance to, any person or entity
considering engaging in any such activities or so engaged; (iii) seek in
competition with the business of Buyer to procure orders from or do business
with any customer of Buyer for which Buyer has provided services in the
preceding twelve (12) months; (iv) solicit, or contact with a view to the
engagement or employment by, any person or entity of any person who is an
employee or contractor of Buyer; (v) seek to contract with or engage (in such a
way as to adversely affect or interfere with the business of Buyer) any person
or entity who has been contracted with or engaged to manufacture, assemble,
supply or deliver products, goods, materials or services to Buyer; (vi) engage
in or participate in any effort or act to induce any of the customers,
associates, consultants or employees of Buyer or any of its affiliates to take
any action which is materially disadvantageous to Buyer or any of its
affiliates; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the
Shareholders and their affiliates from owning as passive investors, in the
aggregate not more than 5% of the outstanding publicly traded stock of any
corporation so engaged; and
                  (b) for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date, in
any manner contact, induce, solicit or influence any client of the Business or
of Buyer or any of its affiliates to cause such client to terminate its
relationship with the Business and/or Buyer. In the event that the provisions of
this Section 9.2 should ever be deemed to exceed the time or geographic
limitations or any other limitations permitted by applicable law in any
jurisdiction, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed in such jurisdiction
to the maximum permitted by applicable law. Shareholders and Seller specifically
acknowledge and agree that the foregoing restrictions are reasonable and
necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer, that Buyer would not
have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions, that any
violation of such restrictions will result in irreparable injury to Buyer, that
the remedy at law for any breach of the foregoing restrictions will be
inadequate, and that, in the event of any such breach, Buyer, in addition to any
other relief available to it, shall be entitled to temporary injunctive relief
before trial from any court of competent jurisdiction as a matter of course and
to permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of quantifying actual
damages.
                  (c) If Buyer shall fail to pay Seller any amount required to
be paid by Buyer hereunder and such failure shall be continuing for 90 days
after written notice from Seller to Buyer, Seller shall be released from the
non-competition provision set forth in this Section 9.2; provided, however, that
the exercise by Buyer of any right of set-off as provided in Section 10.6 hereof
shall not release Seller from the non-competition provision set forth in this
Section 9.2.
         9.3      Pursuit of Authorizations. Shareholders and Seller shall use
his, her or its best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, such action, to
execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional
documents and instruments and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary,
proper or advisable under the provisions of this Agreement and under applicable
law to transfer any Intellectual Property to Buyer and, at the expense of Buyer,
to permit Buyer to obtain promptly all governmental consents, licenses, permits,
franchises, grants or other authorizations which are used in the Business
("Authorizations") and are required for the Business and operations of Buyer
after the Closing.
         9.4      Assignment of Purchased Assets; Consents. Prior to the Closing
Date and for a period of one year thereafter, Shareholders, Seller and Buyer
shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts to obtain all non-governmental
approvals, consents or waivers necessary to assign to Buyer the Purchased Assets
(the "Interests"), as soon as practicable; provided, however, Shareholders and
Seller shall not be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to the third
party from whom such approval, consent or waiver is requested. To the extent any
of the approvals, consents or waivers referred to above have not been obtained
by Shareholders and Seller, Seller's and Shareholders' only obligations with
respect thereto shall be to use its reasonable efforts during the remaining term
of such Interest to: (i) cooperate with Buyer in any reasonable and lawful
arrangements designed to provide the benefits of such Interest to Buyer so long
as


<PAGE>

                                                            Exhibit 10.3 (cont.)


Buyer reimburses Seller for all payments, charges or other liabilities made or
suffered by Seller in connection therewith; and (ii) enforce, at the request of
Buyer and for the account and at the expense of Buyer, any rights of Seller
arising from such Interest against such issuer thereof or the other party or
parties thereto (including the right to elect to terminate any such Interest in
accordance with the terms thereof upon the written advice of Buyer).
         9.5      Rule 144. Buyer covenants that (i) it will cause Parent to use
its best efforts to comply with the current public information requirements of
Rule 144(c)(1) under the Securities Act; (ii) at all such times as Rule 144 is
available for use by the holders of the Securities, Buyer will furnish each such
holder upon request with all information within the possession of Buyer or
Parent required for the preparation and filing of Form 144; and (iii) Buyer will
furnish each such holder, upon his or her or its request, with a written
statement by Parent as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule
144 under the Securities Act.
         9.6      Audited Financial Statements. Upon the request of Buyer,
Shareholders and Seller shall, at the expense of Buyer, take, or cause to be
taken by their accountants, such action as is necessary to provide to Buyer
audited financial statements of Seller, and appropriate accountant's consents,
that comply with the requirements of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act.
         9.7      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
the parties agree that all sales by Buyer or its affiliates or licensees of the
"Department of Social Services Document Image Solution", and all associated
proprietary rights, shall be credited to the Business for purposes of SECTION 2
of this Agreement.

                           SECTION 10. INDEMNIFICATION
         10.1     Indemnification by Seller. Seller shall indemnify and hold
Buyer and Buyer's officers, directors, employees and shareholders harmless
against and in respect of any and all losses, costs, expenses, claims, damages,
obligations and liabilities, including interest, penalties and reasonable
attorneys fees and disbursements ("Damages"), which Buyer or any such person may
suffer, incur or become subject to arising out of, based upon or otherwise in
respect of: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of
Shareholders or Seller made in or pursuant to this Agreement, or any Seller
Transaction Document; (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or
obligation of Shareholders or Seller contained in this Agreement or any Seller
Transaction Document; (iii) any liability or other obligation of Seller not
expressly assumed by Buyer pursuant to Section 1.3.
         10.2     Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify and hold
Seller and Seller's officers, directors and shareholders harmless against and in
respect of any and all Damages which Seller may suffer, incur or become subject
to arising out of, based upon or otherwise in respect of: (a) any inaccuracy in
or breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer made in or pursuant to this
Agreement or any Buyer Transaction Document; (b) any breach or nonfulfillment of
any covenant or obligation of Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Buyer
Transaction Document; and (c) the operation or failure to perform by Buyer of
the Business and the Purchased Assets after the Closing Date, including any
liability or other obligation of Seller assumed by Buyer pursuant to Section 1.3
herein.
         10.3     Inter-Party Claims. Any party seeking indemnification pursuant
to this Section 10 (the "Indemnified Party") shall notify the other party or
parties from whom such indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of
the Indemnified Party's assertion of such claim for indemnification, specifying
the basis of such claim. The Indemnified Party shall thereupon give the
Indemnifying Party reasonable access to the books, records and assets of the
Indemnified Party which evidence or support such claim or the act, omission or
occurrence giving rise to such claim and the right, upon prior notice during
normal business hours, to interview any appropriate personnel of the Indemnified
Party related thereto.
         10.4     Third Party Claims.
                  (a) Each Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the
Indemnifying Party of the assertion by any third party of any claim with respect
to which the indemnification set forth in this Section relates (which shall also
constitute the notice required by Section 10.3). The Indemnifying Party shall
have the right, upon notice to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) business
days after the receipt of any such notice, to undertake the defense of or, with
the consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be
withheld), to settle or compromise such claim. The failure of the Indemnifying
Party to give such notice and to undertake the defense of or to settle or
compromise such a claim shall constitute a waiver of the Indemnifying Party's
rights under this Section 10.4(a) and shall preclude the Indemnifying Party from
disputing the manner in which the Indemnified Party may conduct the defense of
such claim or the reasonableness of any amount paid by the Indemnified Party in
satisfaction of such claim.
                  (b) The election by the Indemnifying Party, pursuant to
Section 10.4(a), to undertake the defense of a third-party claim shall not
preclude the party against which such claim has been made also from
participating or continuing to participate in such defense, so long as such
party bears its own legal fees and expenses for so doing.
         10.5     Limitations.
                  (a) Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify Buyer or any
other person against Damages pursuant to Section 10.1(a) of this Agreement
arising out of or based upon any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation
or warranty made in or pursuant to this Agreement or any Transaction Document
unless and until the aggregate of all such Damages suffered or incurred by Buyer
and such persons exceeds $10,000; in which event Buyer and such persons shall be
entitled to indemnification for the full amount of all Damages suffered or
incurred.
                  (b) In no event shall Seller or Shareholders be liable to
Buyer pursuant to or in connection with a claim for indemnity under Section
10.1(a)(i) of this Agreement for an amount in excess of the Purchase Price.

                                                            Exhibit 10.3 (cont.)

                  (c) No claim for indemnity under Section 10.1(a)(i) or Section
10.1 (a)(ii) hereunder may be made by any party unless notice of such claim, as
provided in Section 10.3 or Section 10.4(a), as the case may be, is delivered
within two (2) years after the Closing Date except that the representations and
warranties set forth in Section 4.15 shall remain in force for a period
corresponding to that of the applicable statute of limitations.
         10.6     Right of Set-Off.
                  (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
this Section 10.6, Buyer shall have the right to set-off, against any amount
which may be owed by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Agreement any amount owed
by Seller to Buyer, or any other person pursuant to this Agreement. The exercise
of such right of set-off by Buyer shall not constitute an event of default under
any obligation owed by Buyer to Seller.
                  (b) In the event that Buyer elects to exercise the right of
set-off provided for herein, Buyer shall provide Seller with at least 14 days
prior written notice of such election. If (i) Seller fails to pay to Buyer the
amount claimed to be owed (and for which Buyer seeks to exercise its right of
set-off pursuant to this Section 10.6), and (ii) prior to the expiration of such
14 day period, Seller notifies Buyer in writing of its disagreement with Buyer's
exercise of the right of set-off provided for herein, Buyer shall be entitled,
upon the expiration of such 14 day period, to exercise its right of set-off
provided for herein by delivering the amount sought to be set-off by Buyer to an
escrow account (the "Escrow Account") pending resolution of such dispute
pursuant to arbitration, as provided for in Section 11.7 hereof. Such escrowed
funds, including all interest accruing thereon, if any, shall be held in the
Escrow Account until such time as the dispute is resolved as provided in Section
11.7 hereof, and shall be released by the escrow agent only as expressly
directed in the order or agreement resolving such dispute.

                           SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS.
         11.1     Knowledge. All references in this Agreement to Shareholders'
or Seller's knowledge respecting a particular matter shall conclusively be
deemed and presumed to include, without limitation, all facts, circumstances and
conditions known to Shareholders or Seller regarding such matter.
         11.2     Survival of Representations, Warranties and Obligations.
                  (a) The representations and warranties made by the parties in
this Agreement and in the certificates, documents, Schedules and Exhibits
delivered pursuant hereto as well as all obligations of Buyer and Seller that
cannot be fully performed prior to closing shall survive the consummation of the
transactions herein contemplated for a period of two (2) years, except that the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.15 shall remain in force
for a period corresponding to that of the applicable statute of limitations.
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the representations
and warranties of Shareholders and Seller hereunder, and the right of Buyer to
indemnification for breach thereof, shall not be affected by any investigation
of Seller or its subsidiaries made by Buyer or its agents or representatives.
                  (b) The disclosures in the Disclosure Statement shall relate
only to the representations and warranties to which they expressly refer and to
no other representation or warranty in this Agreement. In the event of any
inconsistency between the statements made in the body of this Agreement and
those contained in the Disclosure Statement (other than an express exception to
a specifically identified statement), those in this Agreement shall control.
         11.3     Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall use best efforts
to comply with all requirements imposed hereby on such party and to cause the
transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated as contemplated hereby, and
shall, from time to time and without further consideration, either before or
after the Closing, execute such further instruments, and take such other
actions, as any other party hereto shall reasonably request in order to fulfill

         11.6     Assignment and Benefit.
                  (a) Neither Shareholders nor Seller shall assign this
Agreement or any rights hereunder, or delegate any obligations hereunder,
without the prior written consent of Buyer. The foregoing notwithstanding,

                  (b) This Agreement shall not be construed as giving any
person, other than the parties hereto and their permitted successors, heirs and

and exclusive benefit of such parties, and permitted successors, heirs and

         11.7     Settlement of Disputes. The parties will attempt in good faith
to resolve any and all controversies of every kind and nature between the
parties to this Agreement arising out of or in connection with the existence,
construction, validity, interpretation or meaning, performance, non-performance,
enforcement, operation, breach, continuance or termination of this Agreement
(each, a "Dispute") promptly by negotiations between senior executives of the
parties who have authority to settle the Dispute. The disputing party shall give
the other party written notice of the Dispute. Within twenty (20) days after
receipt of said notice, the receiving party shall submit to the disputing party
a written response. The notice and response shall include (a) a statement of
each position and a summary of the evidence and arguments supporting its
position, and (b) the name and title of the executive who will represent that
party. The executives shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place within
thirty days of the date of the disputing party's notice and thereafter as often
as they reasonably deem necessary to exchange relevant information and to
attempt to resolve the Dispute. If the matter has not been resolved within sixty
(60) days of the disputing party's notice, or if the party receiving said notice
will not meet within thirty (30) days, the Dispute shall be submitted to
arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association. The parties further agree that all matters shall be governed by the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The parties further agree that any
arbitration conducted pursuant to this section shall be held in Buffalo, New
York before a panel of three (3) arbitrators, one selected each of the parties
and the third select by the arbitrators selected by the parties. All deadlines
specified in this Section may be extended by mutual agreement.

may: (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the
other, (b) waive any inaccuracies in representations and warranties by the
other, (c) waive compliance by the other with any of the obligations contained
in this Agreement, and (d) waive the fulfillment of any condition precedent to
the performance under this Agreement of the waiving party. Any such amendment,
modification, extension or waiver shall be in writing. The waiver by a party of
any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute or operate as
a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any other provision hereof,
nor shall any failure to enforce any provision hereof operate as a waiver of
such provision or of any other provision hereof.
         11.9     Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement is made
pursuant to, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (and United States federal law, to the extent
applicable), irrespective of the principal place of business, residence or
domicile of the parties hereto, and without giving effect to otherwise
applicable principles of conflicts of law. Any of the parties, before or during
the arbitration contemplated by Section 11.7, may apply to a court as set forth
below for a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction or similar
equitable relief to protect its interests pending completion of such arbitration
proceedings and, in particular, to enforce the provisions of Section 11.7 and to
aid the arbitration contemplated thereby. For this purpose, each party agrees
that suit may be instituted in any federal court in the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania or in Montgomery County state court in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, and each party waives any objection which such party may now or
hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding
(except that Seller and Shareholders do not waive their right to argue that
venue should lay in a court in which they have commenced suit instead of such
courts in Pennsylvania), and irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of any such court. Any and all service of process and any other
notice in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be effective against any
party if given as provided in Section 11.5 herein. Nothing contained herein or
in any Transaction Document shall prevent or delay Buyer, Shareholders or Seller
from seeking, in any court of competent jurisdiction, specific performance or
other equitable

         WHEREAS, certain disputes have arisen under the Agreement concerning

parties wish to finally settle and resolve such disputes;
         NOW THEREFORE, in view of the premises and in consideration of the

         Date, or (b) the accounting treatment of the sales, expenses, assets
         and liabilities of the Business on the books and records of Buyer.
10.      Payment of Net Obligation.
                  The net amount owed by Buyer to Seller under paragraphs 3, 4

         to Seller in June in the approximate amount of $20,000; that such
