business or otherwise held by IDP, except for (i) property acquired or disposed

thereafter acquired, free and clear of any imperfections of title, lien, claim,
encumbrance, restriction, charge or equity of any nature whatsoever, except for

the IDP and Closing Balance Sheets or thereafter acquired are in good condition
and repair for the requirements of the business as presently conducted by IDP.

     (b) IDP has provided WMT with a full and complete list of all real and

          -------------------
clearances, consents, certificates and other evidences of authority of IDP which
are necessary to the conduct of IDP's business ("Permits") are in full force and
effect and IDP is not in violation of any Permit in any material respect. Except
for possible exceptions, the curing or noncuring of which would not have a
material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), business, net
worth, assets, prospects, properties or operations of IDP, the business of IDP
has been conducted in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, orders
and other requirements of governmental authorities.

     3.13 Litigation. Except for litigation initiated by IDP relating to
          ----------
collections, there is no claim, dispute, action, proceeding, notice, order,
suit, appeal or investigation, at law or in equity, pending against IDP, or
involving any of its assets or properties, before any court, agency, authority,
arbitration panel or other tribunal (other than those, if any, with respect to
which service of process or similar notice has not yet been made on IDP), and
none have been threatened. The IDP Parties and the management of IDP are aware
of no facts which, if known to Members, the Manager, customers, governmental
authorities or other persons, would result in any such claim, dispute, action,
proceeding, suit or appeal or investigation which would have a material adverse
effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), business, net worth, assets,
prospects, properties or operations of IDP. IDP is not subject to any order,
writ, injunction or decree of any court, agency, authority, arbitration panel or
other tribunal, nor is it in default with respect to any notice, order, writ,

representatives, reasonable access during normal business hours to IDP's
properties, books, contracts, commitments and records and to the independent
accountants reasonable access to the audit work papers and other records of
IDP's accountants; provided, that such access does not materially impair the
ability of IDP to conduct its business in the ordinary course. During such
period, IDP shall use reasonable efforts to furnish promptly to WMT (a) a copy
of each report, schedule and other document filed or received by IDP pursuant to
the requirements of federal and state securities laws and (b) all other
information concerning the

                                      -15-

business, properties and personnel of IDP as WMT may reasonably request.
Pending the Closing (and if this Agreement is terminated, at all times after the
date hereof), WMT shall treat as confidential and will not use, submit or
disclose to, or make available for inspection by any other person, or allow any
other person to use or disclose, any information, materials, documents,

If this Agreement is terminated, WMT shall promptly return to IDP any and all
copies of such material, including copies prepared by WMT. Further, WMT, IDP,

         ----------------
to comply promptly with all legal requirements which may be imposed on such
party with respect to this Agreement and will promptly cooperate with and
furnish information to the other party in connection with any such requirements
imposed upon such other party or any Subsidiary of such other party in
connection with this Agreement. Each party will take, and will cause its
Subsidiaries to take, all reasonable actions to obtain (and to cooperate with

the taking of any action contemplated thereby.

shall any party hereto be required to spend any amounts in connection with such
actions to the extent that the party reasonably determines that such amounts or
expenses are unreasonable.

Accounts Receivable and unsold Inventory.

                                    ARTICLE 7

                                 INDEMNIFICATION
                                 ---------------

     7.1 Indemnification by IDP, IDP Financial, Bynder and Duhaime.
         ---------------------------------------------------------

     (a) IDP, IDP Financial, Bynder and Duhaime, jointly and severally, after
the Closing and until the period ending at December 31, 1996, agree to defend
and indemnify WMT and their respective affiliates, directors, officers and
interestholders, and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the
"WMT Indemnitees"), against and hold each of them harmless from any and all
losses, liabilities, taxes, claims, suits, proceedings, demands, judgments,
damages, expenses and costs, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel
fees, costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, defense or settlement of
any claims covered by this indemnity (in this Section 7.1 collectively, the
"Indemnifiable Damages") which any such indemnified person may suffer or incur
by reason of (i) the inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations,
warranties and covenants of IDP, IDP Financial, Bynder and Duhaime contained in
this Agreement or any documents, certificate or agreement delivered pursuant
hereto; (ii) any claim by any person under any provision of any federal or state
securities law relating to any transaction, event, act or omission of or by IDP
occurring before or after the Closing Date; or (iii) liabilities of IDP, IDP
Financial, Bynder and Duhaime or the Purchased Assets arising before or after
the Closing not expressly assumed by WMT in Section 2.2 hereof; provided that
the total indemnity shall not exceed the Earn-Out Payment (as defined in the
Employment Agreements of Bynder and Duhaime) payable pursuant to the Employment
Agreements of Bynder and Duhaime provided in Exhibit 6.1(e) hereto. Nothing
herein shall limit in any way WMT's remedies in the event of breach by the IDP
Parties of any of their covenants or agreements hereunder which are not also a
representation or warranty or for willful fraud or intentionally deceptive
material misrepresentation or omission by the IDP Parties in connection herewith
or with the transactions contemplated hereby.

     (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but considering the
limitation on indemnification provided for in Section 7.1(a), with respect to
the measurement of Indemnifiable Damages, WMT and, after the Closing Date, WMT,
IDP, IDP Financial, Bynder and Duhaime and the affiliates of any of them, shall
have the right to be put in the same financial position as they would have been
in had each of the representations, warranties and covenants of IDP, IDP
Financial, Bynder and Duhaime been true and accurate or the same said parties
had not breached any such covenants or had any of the events, claims or
liabilities referred to (a) of this Section 7.1 not occurred or been made or
incurred.

     (c) Any indemnitee under this Agreement may not seek recovery under the
indemnities set forth herein unless and until the Indemnifiable Damages of such
party are

                                      -19-

<PAGE>

greater than $15,000, at which point such indemnity shall apply to all
Indemnifiable Damages.

     7.2 Indemnification by WMT. After the Closing Date, WMT shall, as to those
         ----------------------
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements which are herein made or
agreed to by WMT, indemnify and hold harmless IDP, IDP Financial, Bynder and
Duhaime and their respective officers and directors (prior to the Closing) and
their heirs and assigns against and in respect of (a) any damage, deficiency,
losses or costs incurred by IDP, IDP Financial, Bynder and Duhaime resulting
from any material misrepresentation or breach of warranty or any nonfulfillment
of any covenant or agreement on the part of WMT under this Agreement; and (b)
any claim, action, suit, proceeding, demand, judgment, assessment, cost and
expense, including reasonable counsel fees, incident to any of the foregoing;
provided that the total indemnity shall not exceed the purchase price as
provided in Section 2.3 hereof.

     WMT shall reimburse IDP, IDP Financial, Bynder and Duhaime for any
liabilities, damages, deficiencies, claims, actions, suits, proceedings,
demands, judgments, assessments, costs and expenses to which this Section 7.2
relates only if a claim for indemnification is made by IDP, IDP Financial,
Bynder and Duhaime within the period ending at December 31, 1998. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to the measure of
Indemnifiable Damages, IDP, IDP Financial, Bynder and Duhaime shall have the
right to be put in the same financial position as they would have been in had
each of the representations, warranties and covenants of WMT been true and
accurate or the same said parties had not breached any such covenants.

     7.3 Indemnification Procedure. A party seeking indemnification (the
         -------------------------
"Indemnitee") shall use its best efforts to minimize any liabilities, damages,
deficiencies, claims, judgments, assessments, costs and expenses in respect of
which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement. The Indemnitee shall give
prompt written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the
"Indemnitor") of the assertion of a claim for indemnification, but in no event
longer than (a) thirty (30) days after service of process in the event
litigation is commenced against the Indemnitee by a third party, or (b) sixty
(60) days after the assertion of such claim. No such notice of assertion of a
claim shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 7.3 unless it describes in
reasonable detail and in good faith the facts and circumstances upon which the
asserted claim for indemnification is based. If any action or proceeding shall
be brought in connection with any liability or claim to be indemnified
hereunder, the Indemnitee shall provide the Indemnitor twenty (20) calendar days
to decide whether to defend such liability or claim. During such period, the
Indemnitee shall take all necessary steps to protect the interests of itself and
the Indemnitor, including the filing of any necessary responsive pleadings, the
seeking of emergency relief or other action necessary to maintain the status
quo, subject to reimbursement from the Indemnitor of its expenses in doing so.
The Indemnitor shall (with, if necessary, reservation of rights) defend such
action or proceeding at its expense, using counsel selected by the insurance
company insuring against any such claim and undertaking to defend such claim, or
by other counsel selected by it and approved by the Indemnitee, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnitor shall keep the
Indemnitee fully apprised at all times

                                      -20-

<PAGE>

of the status of the defense and shall consult with the Indemnitee prior to
the settlement of any indemnified matter. Indemnitee agrees to use reasonable
efforts to cooperate with Indemnitor in connection with its defense of
indemnifiable claims. In the event the Indemnitee has a claim or claims against
any third party growing out of or connected with the indemnified matter, then
upon receipt of indemnification, the Indemnitee shall fully assign to the
Indemnitor the entire claim or claims to the extent of the indemnification
actually paid by the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor shall thereupon be subrogated
with respect to such claim or claims of the Indemnitee.

     7.4 Right of Set-Off. Upon notice to Bynder and Duhaime specifying in
         ----------------
reasonable detail the basis for a set-off, WMT may set off any amount to which
it may be entitled under this Article 7 against certain the Earn-Out Payment (as
defined in the Employment Agreements of Bynder and Duhaime) payable pursuant to
the Employment Agreements of Bynder and Duhaime provided in Exhibit 6.1(e)
hereto. Neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise such right of
set-off will constitute an election of remedies or limit WMT in any manner in
the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to WMT.

     7.5 Further Indemnifications.
         ------------------------

     (a) In addition to the indemnifications provided in this Article 7,
Oliver-Allen, IDP Financial, Bynder and Duhaime further agree to defend and
indemnify WMT and the WMT Indemnitees against and hold each of them harmless
from any and all costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses and other
costs associated with defending or investigating any claims) and any judgment,
award, settlement amount, liability or other financial obligation of IDP (or of
either IDP Member in the event IDP has dissolved and/or liquidated) with respect
to any claim against IDP or otherwise that may be filed by or on behalf of
Elaine Burgess relating, but not limited to, the allegations set forth in the
correspondence from her attorney dated November 14, 1996.

     (b) If WMT is notified of any claim with regard to Elaine Burgess, WMT
shall give prompt written notice to Oliver-Allen, IDP Financial, Bynder and
Duhaime but in no event longer than five (5) days after service of process in
the event litigation is commenced. If WMT is named in a claim, Oliver-Allen, IDP
Financial, Bynder and Duhaime shall take all necessary steps to protect the
interests of themselves and WMT. Oliver-Allen, IDP Financial, Bynder and Duhaime
shall assume the defense of such indemnifiable action or proceeding at their
expense, using counsel selected by the insurance company insuring against any
such claim and undertaking to defend such claim, or by other counsel selected by
Oliver-Allen, IDP Financial, Bynder and Duhaime and approved by WMT, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Oliver-Allen, IDP
Financial, Bynder and Duhaime shall keep WMT fully apprised at all times of the
status of the defense and shall consult with WMT prior to the settlement of any
indemnified matter. WMT agrees to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with
Oliver-Allen, IDP Financial, Bynder and Duhaime in connection with its defense
of indemnifiable claims. Nothing herein shall prevent any party from retaining
independent legal counsel of its own choosing at its own cost, without right of
contribution.
