                                  MISCELLANEOUS

7.1     EXPENSES, ETC.

        The Company will pay (i) all reasonable costs and other expenses
incurred from time to time by the Company in connection with the Company's
performance of and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained
herein on its part to be performed or complied with (including the reasonable
costs and expenses of its counsel incurred in connection with the review and
negotiation of this Agreement and the Related Agreements), (ii) all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by CB Capital in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements
(including all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by CB Capital in connection
with its due diligence investigation of the Company and all reasonable fees and
expenses of O'Sullivan Graev & Karabell, LLP (counsel to CB Capital)), (iii) the
actual costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by
the Purchasers in connection with any amendment or waiver of, or enforcement of,
this Agreement, the Related Agreements or any other agreement relating to the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (iv) any stamp or similar taxes
which may be determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery

thereof, (v) any issue taxes which may be determined to be payable in respect of
the issuance and sale of the Purchased Units to the Purchasers, and (vi) the
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by each Purchaser in any filing with any
governmental authority with respect to its investment in the Company or in any
other filing with any governmental authority with respect to the Company that
mentions such Purchaser.

7.2     INDEMNIFICATION.

        The Company shall indemnify each Purchaser and its affiliates and their
respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents and representatives
(each such Person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each
Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, actions, damages,
liabilities and related expenses (including, without limitation and as incurred,
reasonable costs of investigating, preparing or defending any such claim or
action, whether or not such Indemnitee is a party thereto), including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee,
incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection

Indemnitee by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be effected by wire
transfer of immediately available funds from the Company to an account
designated by the Indemnitee within 15 days after the determination thereof. No
right of any Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement shall be
affected by any examination made for or on behalf of any Purchaser, the
knowledge of any Purchaser's officers, directors, partners, employees, agents or
representatives or the acceptance by any Purchaser of any certificate or
opinion.


                                       11
<PAGE>   12

7.3     FURTHER ASSURANCES.

        The Company shall duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed
and delivered, at its own cost and expense, such further instruments and
documents and to take all such action, in each case as may be necessary or
proper in the reasonable judgment of the Purchasers to carry out the provisions
and purposes of this Agreement and the Related Agreements.

7.4     SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE; REMEDIES.

        Damages in the event of a breach by the Company of this Agreement or any
other Related Agreement to which the Company is a party would be difficult, if
not impossible, to ascertain, and it is therefore agreed that the Purchasers, in
addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right any of them may have,
will have the right to an injunction or other equitable relief in any court of
competent jurisdiction, enjoining any such breach, and enforcing specifically
the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, and the Company hereby waives any
and all defenses it may have on the ground of lack of jurisdiction or competence
of the court to grant such an injunction or other equitable relief. The
existence of this right to specific performance will not preclude the Purchasers
from pursuing any other rights and remedies at law or in equity which the
Purchasers may have.

7.5     SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

        This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company and
the Purchasers and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs and
personal representatives. Upon the transfer of any Purchased Units in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall be bound by, and entitled
to the benefits of, this Agreement with respect to such transferred Purchased
Units, in the same manner as the transferring Purchaser.

7.6     ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

        This Agreement and the other writings referred to herein or delivered
pursuant hereto which form a part hereof contain the entire agreement among the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all
prior and contemporaneous arrangements or understandings with respect thereto.

7.8     AMENDMENTS, MODIFICATIONS AND WAIVERS.

        The terms and provisions of this Agreement may not be modified or
amended, nor any of the provisions hereof waived, temporarily or permanently,
except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Company and the holders
of a majority of the Purchased Units; provided, however, that any such
amendment, modification or waiver that would adversely affect the rights
hereunder of any Purchaser, in its capacity as a Purchaser, without similarly
affecting the rights hereunder of all Purchasers, in their capacities as
Purchasers, shall not be effective as to such Purchaser without its prior
written consent. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a
waiver of any subsequent breach by any other party.

7.9     GOVERNING LAW, WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; JURISDICTION.

               (a)    All questions concerning the construction, interpretation
and validity of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced
in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware, without giving
effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether in the State
of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the
laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In furtherance of the
foregoing, the internal law of the State of Delaware will control the
interpretation and construction of this Agreement, even if under such
jurisdiction's choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of
some other jurisdiction would ordinarily or necessarily apply.

               (b)    BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX
FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN
EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH


                                       13
<PAGE>   14

APPLICABLE LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE
THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS.
THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL
SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS OR
REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS RELATED HERETO.

               (c)    Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive
jurisdiction of any court of the State of New York or Federal court of the
United States of America sitting in the State of New York, and any appellate
court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of
the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims
in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any
such court of the State of New York or, to the extent permitted by law, in such
Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any
such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

               (d)    Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit,
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court
of the State of New York or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such
court.

this Agreement and the Related Agreements (and the Company acknowledges that the
Purchasers have expressly relied thereon) and (b) are solely for the benefit of
the Purchasers and their respective successors and assigns. Accordingly, no
third party (including, without limitation, any holder of capital stock of the

7.12    SEVERABILITY.

        It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this
Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the law and public
policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.
Accordingly, in the event that any provision of this Agreement would be held in
any jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such
provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating
the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the

                                       16
<PAGE>   17

be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this
Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

7.13    INTERPRETATION.

               The term "this Agreement" means this agreement, together with all
schedules and exhibits hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended,
modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with the terms hereof. The use
in this Agreement of the term "including" means "including, without limitation."
The words "herein," "hereof," "hereunder" and other words of similar import
refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the schedules and exhibits, as the
same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, and
not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause
contained in this Agreement. All references to sections, annexes, schedules and
exhibits mean the sections of this Agreement and the annexes, schedules and
exhibits attached to this Agreement, except where otherwise stated. The title of
and the section headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
and shall not govern or affect the interpretation of any of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement. The use herein of the masculine, feminine or
neuter forms shall also denote the other forms, as in each case the context may
require or permit. Where specific language is used to clarify by example a
general statement contained herein, such specific language shall not be deemed
to modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general
statement to which it relates. The language used in this Agreement has been
chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict
construction shall be applied against any party. Unless expressly provided
otherwise, the measure of a period of one month or year for purposes of this
Agreement shall be that date of the following month or year corresponding to the
starting date, provided that if no corresponding date exists, the measure shall
be that date of the following month or year corresponding to the next day
following the starting date. For example, one month following February 18 is
March 18, and one month following March 31 is May 1.

7.14    INDEPENDENCE OF AGREEMENTS, COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

        All agreements and covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect
so that if a certain action or condition constitutes a default under a certain
agreement or covenant, the fact that such action or condition is permitted by
another agreement or covenant shall not affect the occurrence of such default,
unless expressly permitted under an exception to such initial covenant. In
addition, all representations and warranties hereunder shall be given
independent effect so that if a particular representation or warranty proves to
be incorrect or is breached, the fact that another representation or warranty
concerning the same or similar subject matter is correct or is not breached will
not affect the incorrectness of or a breach of a representation and warranty
hereunder.

7.15    SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, ETC.

        All of the representations and warranties of the parties hereto set
forth in this Agreement or in any other instrument delivered pursuant to this
Agreement shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the party or parties to
whom such representations and warranties were made. Notwithstanding any
investigation made at any time by or on behalf of any party hereto, the
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other
instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing and
shall terminate in their entirety on the


                                       17
<PAGE>   18

date which is 15 months following the Closing Date; provided, however, the
representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 2.8 shall
survive the Closing Date and terminate in their entirety at such time as the
representations and warranties of the Seller contained in Article V of the Asset
Purchase Agreement cease to survive (before giving effect to any waiver,
modification or amendment thereof by the Company or DJ which would reduce such
survival period); and provided, further, however, (i) each representation and
warranty of the Company set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4, (ii) each
representation and warranty of each Purchaser set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2
and (iii) any representation or warranty of the Company or any Purchaser which
is breached if such breach involves fraud or intentional misrepresentation by
the Company or any such Purchaser shall survive the Closing Date until the
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations governing claims for breach
of such representation and warranty. Notwithstanding any investigation made at
any time by or on behalf of any party hereto, the covenants and agreements
contained in this Agreement or in any other instrument delivered pursuant to
this Agreement shall survive the Closing. Any claim for which the party
asserting such claim shall have given proper notice in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement on or prior to the expiration of the survival period shall
survive until such claim is resolved pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

7.16    COUNTERPART; FACSIMILE SIGNATURES.

               This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and
each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such
counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement. This Agreement, and
any amendments, modifications or waivers hereof, to the extent signed and
delivered by means of a facsimile machine, shall be treated in all manner and
respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have
the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof
delivered in person.
