the opinion of counsel for such Shareholder (which opinion shall be satisfactory
in form and substance to Buyer), may be made without violating the registration
provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") or any
applicable blue sky laws. Shareholder acknowledges that the shares of Buyer
Stock are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the 1933
Act and have not been registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws
and thereafter must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered
under the 1933 Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Buyer is
under no obligation to register the shares of Buyer Stock under the 1933 Act or
any state securities law or to take any action which would make available an
exemption from such registration;

                  7.2.2 There shall be endorsed on the certificates evidencing
the shares of Buyer Stock delivered at Closing a legend substantially similar to
the following:

"THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") AND ARE "RESTRICTED SECURITIES" AS DEFINED BY
RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
UNDER THE ACT OR

<PAGE>

PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT, THE AVAILABILITY OF
WHICH IS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE COMPANY."

                  7.2.3 Except under certain limited circumstances, the above
restrictions on the transfer of the shares of Buyer Stock will also apply to any
and all shares of capital stock or other securities issued or otherwise acquired
with respect to such shares, including, without limitation, shares and
securities issued or acquired as a result of any stock dividend, stock split or
exchange or any distribution of shares or securities pursuant to any corporate
reorganization, reclassification or similar event;

                  7.2.4 Buyer and its transfer agent may refuse to effect a
transfer of any of the shares of Buyer Stock by the Shareholders or any of their
successors, personal representatives or assigns otherwise than as contemplated
hereby.

      8. Further Assurances. Buyer and the Shareholders agree to execute and
deliver all such other instruments and take all such other action as any party
may reasonably request from time to time, before or after Closing and without
payment of further consideration, in order to effectuate the transactions
provided for herein. The parties shall cooperate fully with each other and with
their respective counsel and accountants in connection with any steps required
to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the preparation of financial statements and tax
returns.

      9. Termination.

            9.1 This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the
Closing Date:

                  9.1.1 By the written agreement of Buyer and Company;

                  9.1.2 By either Company or Buyer by written notice to the
other parties if the transactions contemplated hereby shall not have been
consummated pursuant hereto by 5:00 p.m. PST on April 23, 2000 unless such date
shall be extended by the mutual written consent of Company and Buyer, provided
that no party may give such notice if its breach of this Agreement has precluded
the consummation of this Agreement;

                  9.1.3 By Buyer by written notice to the other parties if (i)
Company fails to deliver the opinion of counsel, as required by paragraph 6.2.6
hereof; or (ii) the representations and warranties of Company and the
Shareholders shall not have been true and correct in all respects (in the case
of a representation or warranty containing a materiality qualification) or in
all material respects (in the case of a representation or warranty without a
materiality qualification) as of the date when made, or (iii) any of the
conditions set forth in Section 8 shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent
that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by 5:00 p.m. PST on April 23,
2000, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Buyer to perform or
comply with any of the

<PAGE>

covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by
it prior to the Closing.

            9.2 In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 9, this Agreement shall become void, without any liability to any party
in respect hereof or of the transactions contemplated hereby on the part of any
party hereto, or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants,
representatives, advisers, stockholders or Affiliates, except for any liability
resulting from such party's breach of this Agreement.

      10. Miscellaneous.

            10.1 Controlling Law. This Agreement is to be construed in
accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of California (as
permitted by ss.1646.5 of the California Civil Code or any similar successor
provision) without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the
application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the
State of California to the rights and duties of the parties.

            10.2 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing

            10.3 Exhibits and Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules attached
hereto are hereby incorporated by reference into, and made a part of, this
Agreement.

            10.4 Binding Nature of Agreement; No Assignment. This Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective, successors and assigns.

            10.5 Assignments Prohibited. Company shall not assign or suffer or
permit an assignment, by operation of law or otherwise, of its rights or
obligations under or interest in this Agreement without the prior written
consent of the other party. For purposes of this Subsection, the term
"assignment" shall be deemed to include a merger in which Company is not the
surviving entity, a consolidation or division of Company, a sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of

<PAGE>

Company, or a change of control resulting from a sale or repurchase of shares or
similar transaction involving Company. A "change of control" shall be deemed to
have occurred as a result of a merger or other transaction in which Company is
the surviving entity if some or all of the shareholders of Company immediately
prior to the transaction do not have sufficient voting power entitling them to
elect at least a majority of the directors of the corporation immediately
following the transaction. In the event of a breach of this provision, the
non-breaching party shall have the option, in addition to any other remedy
available at law or in equity, to terminate this Agreement at any time after the
breach occurs.

            10.6 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The terms and provisions of this
Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each party hereto and its
respective successors and assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties to
confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person.

            10.7 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original as
against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall
together constitute one and the same instrument. If executed in multiple
counterparts, this Agreement shall become binding when two or more counterparts
hereto, individually or taken together, bear the signatures of all of the
parties reflected hereon as the signatories. Facsimile counterpart signatures to
this Agreement shall be acceptable at the Closing if the originally executed
counterpart is delivered within a reasonable time thereafter.

            10.8 Provisions Separable. The provisions of this Agreement are
independent of and separable from each other, and no provision shall be affected
or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that any other
provision may be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part for any reason.
(Comment: Some courts may decline to narrow or otherwise rewrite a provision
that is determined to be unenforceable as written, notwithstanding the final
sentence in the above provision.)

            10.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the related
agreements referred to herein contains the entire understanding among the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all
prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, inducements or
conditions, express or implied, oral or written. The express terms hereof
control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade
inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.

            10.10 Disclaimer of Representations. Except as expressly set forth
in Section Section 2 hereof and the Exhibits referred to therein, Company has
not made any representations or warranties to Buyer, and Buyer expressly
acknowledges that it is not relying on any other information received from
Company or its representatives (including, without limitation, any projections,
forecasts or forward-looking information).

<PAGE>

            10.11 Amendments and Modifications. This Agreement may not be
amended or modified other than by an agreement in writing signed by all of the
parties.

            10.12 Section Headings. The Section and Subsection headings in this
Agreement and the recitals at the beginning of this Agreement are for
convenience only; they form no part of this Agreement and shall not affect its
interpretation.

            10.13 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to
a Section, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference shall be to a Section of, or an
Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of
contents and headings contained in this Agreement and the recitals at the
beginning of this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect
in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words
"include," "includes" or "including" are used in this Agreement, they shall be
deemed, as the context indicates, to be followed by the words "but [is] [are]
not limited to." Where specific language is used to clarify or illustrate by
example a general statement contained herein, such specific language shall not
be deemed to modify, limit or restrict the construction of the general statement
which is being clarified or illustrated. The language 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. The words "herein," "hereof,"
"hereunder" and words of like import shall refer to this Agreement as a whole
including its Schedules and Exhibits, unless the context clearly indicates to
the contrary (for example, that a particular Section or Exhibit is the intended
reference).

            10.14 Expenses of the Parties. Each party shall bear the expenses
incurred by such party in connection with the negotiation and execution of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except
that the expenses of Company shall be deemed to be expenses of, and shall be
borne by, Company.

            10.15 Statutory References. A reference in this Agreement to a
statute or statutory provision shall mean such statute or statutory provision as
it has been amended through the date as of which the particular Agreement
provision is to take effect, or to any successor statute or statutory provision
relating to the same subject as the statutory provision referred to in this
Agreement, and to any then applicable rules or regulations promulgated
thereunder.

            10.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST
EITHER OF THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN
CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MORE QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED
BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON, THE PARTIES PREFER, BASED ON THE ADVICE OF
THEIR COUNSEL, THAT ANY DISPUTE BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING APPLICABLE LAW.

<PAGE>

            10.17 Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Any action or proceeding
seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this
Agreement may shall be brought against any of the parties only in the courts of
the State of California, County of Los Angeles, or, if it has or can acquire the
necessary jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the Central
District of California, and each of the parties consents to the exclusive
jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any
such action or proceeding and irrevocably waives any objection to venue laid
therein. Process in any action or proceeding referred to in the preceding
sentence may be served on any party anywhere in the world. The provisions of
this Section shall also apply to any actions involving directors, officers,
shareholders, controlling persons and affiliates of Buyer brought by or against
them in their respective capacities as such.

            10.18 Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would
occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not
performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.
Accordingly, it is agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an
injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce
specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the
United States located in the State of California or in any California state
court, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at
law or in equity. In addition, each of the parties hereto (a) consents to the
personal jurisdiction of any federal court located in the State of California or
of any California state court in the event any dispute arises out of this
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees
that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion
or other request for leave from any such court, and (c) agrees that it will not
bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than a federal or state court
sitting in the State of California.

            10.19 Recovery of Fees by Prevailing Party. In the event of a
lawsuit to enforce or interpret the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing
party shall pay the other party reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and
expenses including expert witness fees in such amount as the court shall
determine. In addition, such non-prevailing party shall pay reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred by the prevailing party in enforcing, or on appeal
from, a judgment in favor of the prevailing party. The preceding sentence is
intended by the parties hereto to be severable from the other provisions of this
Agreement and to survive and not be merged into such judgment.

            10.20 Duty of Cooperation. Each party shall cooperate in good faith
with the other parties generally, and in particular will make available, as the
other parties reasonably request, management decisions, liaison personnel,
information, approvals and acceptances so that the other parties may properly
perform their obligations under this Agreement.

            10.21 Survival of Agreements, Representations, etc. All warranties,
representations, agreements and covenants made by a party herein or in any
certificate or other instrument [required to be] delivered by or on behalf of a
party in connection with this Agreement, shall be considered to have been relied
upon by the other party and shall survive the Closing under

<PAGE>

this Agreement regardless of any investigation made by any party [or information
about any breach known to any party prior to the Closing; shall continue in full
force and effect; and shall provide a basis for the remedies provided for herein
or otherwise available to the non-breaching party. No representation or warranty
contained herein shall be deemed to have been waived, affected or impaired by
any investigation made by or knowledge of any party to this Agreement. All
statements in any such certificate or other instrument [delivered at or in
connection with the Closing shall constitute representations and warranties of
the party making such delivery. Each agreement, representation and warranty
contained herein is independent of all other agreements, representations and
warranties contained herein (whether or not covering an identical or a related
subject matter) and must be independently and separately complied with and
satisfied. Exceptions or qualifications to any agreement, representation or
warranty contained herein shall not be construed as exceptions or qualifications
to any agreement, other warranty or representation.

            10.22 Time of the Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods
set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

            10.23 Confidentiality; Publicity. The parties acknowledge that the
transaction described herein is of a confidential nature and shall not be
disclosed prior to the Closing except to consultants, advisors and Affiliates,
or as required by law. None of the parties hereto shall make any public
disclosure of the terms of this Agreement prior to the Closing, except as
required by law, such requirement to substantiated by a written opinion of
counsel. The parties shall endeavor to make only those press releases or other
public disclosures as are required by law; provided, however, that no press
release or other public disclosure shall be made without a minimum of hours'
prior consultation with the other parties.

            10.24 Construction. The construction of this Agreement shall not
take into consideration the party who drafted or whose representative drafted
any portion of this Agreement, and no canon of construction shall be applied
that resolves ambiguities against the drafter of a document. The parties
acknowledge that they were advised by competent counsel that each has chosen to
represent such party and each party has had a full opportunity to comment upon
and negotiate the terms of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement
shall be deemed to be [is] the language chosen by the parties hereto to express
their mutual intent as a result of arm's length bargaining.

            10.25 Independent Contractor. For any services provided hereunder,
or under any other arrangement arising out of this Agreement, each party is
acting as an independent contractor and not as an agent of any other party
hereto and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating a
partnership, joint venture or similar relationship of any kind between among the
parties hereto. No party shall hold itself out as having authority to create
binding obligations for any other party.

<PAGE>

            10.26 Conflicting Agreements. No party hereto shall enter into any
other agreement nor shall any party incur any obligations that are inconsistent
with the provisions of this Agreement.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of
the date first above written.
