      to Closing (as defined herein);

            (c) any claim against SCB, Buyer, or Seller, which claim is based,

substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto.

      1.4 Allocation of Consideration.

      Assets as set forth on Exhibit D. The parties hereto agree to cooperate in
      preparing and filing IRS Form 8594 reflecting the allocation set forth on

      arm's length negotiations and that none of them will take a


                                        2
<PAGE>   4
      position on any income tax return, before any governmental agency charged
      with the collection of any income tax, or in any judicial proceeding, that
      is inconsistent with such allocation.

            (a) Time and Place. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
      Agreement, the Closing under this Agreement (the "Closing") will take

                                   ARTICLE 2.

                        REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF
                           SELLER AND THE SHAREHOLDERS

      Except as set forth in the disclosure letter delivered prior to the
execution hereof to SCB (the "Seller Disclosure Letter"), Seller and the
Shareholders, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to SCB and Buyer as
follows:

      2.1 Assets. Seller is the lawful owner of the Transferred Assets free and
clear of all liens, claims, charges, restrictions, security interests, pledges,
or encumbrances of any kind, and Seller has the full right, power, authority,
and capacity to sell and transfer the Transferred Assets owned by the Seller. By
virtue of the transfer of the Transferred Assets to Buyer, Buyer will obtain
full title to the Transferred Assets free and clear of all liens, claims,
charges, restrictions, security interests, pledges, and encumbrances of any
kind.

            (a) Tangible Assets. Exhibit A hereto contains an accurate and
      complete description of all material fixed and other tangible assets
      owned, leased, or used by the Seller, including, without limitation,
      improvements to leased property and real property, plants and structures
      located thereon, equipment located therein, vehicles, and all personal
      property relating to Seller and its business and properties. All such
      plants, structures, machinery, and equipment are in good working condition
      and repair, normal wear and tear excepted, and are adequate for the uses
      for which they are intended. All such plants, structures, machinery, and
      equipment conform in all respects to applicable health, sanitation, fire,
      environmental (including air and water pollution laws and regulations),
      safety, labor, zoning, and building laws and ordinances; and Seller has
      not received any notification within the last five years of any violation
      of any applicable ordinance or regulation of building, zoning, or other
      law, in respect of its plants, structures, properties, or operations. None
      of such real property is currently the subject of any eminent domain,
      condemnation, or similar proceeding and, to the best of the Seller's
      knowledge, no such proceeding is threatened. Seller is now in possession
      of each parcel of such real property, there is no adverse claim against
      such real property and there are no pending or, to Seller's knowledge,
      threatened proceedings that might interfere with Buyer's quiet enjoyment
      of such real property.

            (b) Material Contracts. Exhibit A also contains a complete and
      accurate list of all contracts and agreements for the performance of
      services or the purchase or leasing of property by Seller of an amount or
      value in excess of $10,000 ("Material Contracts"). Each of the Material
      Contracts is in full force and effect and is valid and enforceable in
      accordance


                                        5
<PAGE>   7
      with its terms, and Seller and each other person that has or had any
      obligation under a Material Contract is in full compliance with all
      applicable terms and requirements thereof. No event has occurred or
      circumstance exists that (with or without notice or lapse of time) may
      contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation or breach of, or give
      any person the right to declare a default or exercise any remedy under, or
      to accelerate the maturity or performance of, or to cancel, terminate, or
      modify, any Material Contract. There are no renegotiations of, attempts to
      renegotiate, or outstanding rights to renegotiate any amounts paid or
      payable under any Material Contract with any person.

            (c) Intangible Assets. Exhibit A also contains an accurate and
      complete description of all intangible assets owned or used by Sellers,
      including without limitation, copyrights, patents, tradenames, trademarks,
      and servicemarks (collectively, the "Intangible Assets"). Seller has sole,
      full, and clear title to the Intangible Assets for the goods and services
      for which such Intangible Assets are used and all registrations thereof
      are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect. Seller has the
      sole, full, and clear title to each copyright in the Intangible Assets and
      all the registrations thereof are valid and subsisting and are in full
      force and effect. Seller (either itself or through its licensees) has
      placed and will continue to place appropriate notice of copyright on all
      copies embodying such copyrighted works which are publicly distributed,
      and Seller will not (and will not permit any licensee thereof to) do any
      act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any copyright may become
      invalidated or dedicated to the public domain.

      2.2 Existence; Good Standing; Corporate Power and Authority. Seller is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Colorado. Seller is not qualified to do business as a
foreign corporation and neither the character of the properties owned or leased
by it or the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary.
Seller has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, operate, and
lease its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted.

      2.3 Authorization, Validity, and Effect of Agreements. Seller and the
Shareholders have full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement
and all agreements and documents contemplated hereby. This Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby have been approved by Seller's Board of
Directors and shareholders and the consummation by Seller of the transactions
contemplated hereby has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action.
This Agreement constitutes, and all agreements and documents contemplated hereby
(when executed and delivered pursuant hereto) will constitute, the valid and
legally binding obligations of Seller and the Shareholders, enforceable in
accordance with their respective terms.


                                        6
<PAGE>   8
      2.4 Capitalization. The 1,000 shares of common stock, no par value, of
Seller (the "Seller Shares") are owned beneficially and of record by the
Shareholders as set forth on the Seller Disclosure Letter. Seller does not have
any outstanding capital stock, bonds, debentures, notes, or other obligations
the holders of which have the right to vote (or which are convertible into or
exercisable for securities having the right to vote) with the Shareholders on
any matter. All issued and outstanding Seller Shares are duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, and free of preemptive rights. None
of the outstanding Seller Shares are subject to any voting trust agreement,
lien, encumbrance, security interest, restriction, or claim.

      2.5 Other Interests. Seller does not own, directly or indirectly, nor has
any obligation to acquire any interest or investment in any corporation,
partnership, joint venture, business, trust, or other entity.

      2.6 No Violation. Neither the execution and delivery by Sellers of this
Agreement nor the consummation by Seller and the Shareholders of the
transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms hereof, will: (i)
conflict with or result in a breach of any provisions of the articles of
incorporation or bylaws of Seller; (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of any
provision of or the modification or termination of, constitute a default under,
or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, security interest, charge,
or encumbrance upon any of the assets of Seller or any Shareholder pursuant to
any commitment, lease, contract, or other material agreement or instrument to
which Seller or any Shareholder is a party (including any Material Contract); or
(iii) violate or result in a change in any rights or obligations under any
governmental permit or license or any order, arbitration award, judgment, writ,
injunction, decree, statute, rule, or regulation applicable to Seller or any
Shareholder.

      2.7 Regulatory Consents. No consent, approval, order, or authorization of,
or registration, declaration, or filing with, any governmental entity, is
required by or with respect to Seller or any Shareholder in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller or any Shareholder, or the
consummation by Seller or any Shareholder of the transactions contemplated
hereby, which has not been made or obtained.

      2.8 Financial Statements. Prior to the date hereof, the Seller has
delivered to SCB true and complete copies of (a) the unaudited financial
statements of Seller as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998; and (b) the
unaudited financial statements of Seller as of and for the period ended April
30, 1999. The historical balance sheets provided to SCB by Seller (including the
related notes and schedules) fairly present the financial position of Seller as
of their respective dates and the historical statements of income, stockholders'
equity, and cash flows provided to SCB by Seller (including any related notes
and schedules) fairly present the results of operations, stockholders' equity,
and cash flows of Seller for the periods set forth therein, in each case in
accordance with


                                        7
<PAGE>   9
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, except as may be
noted therein. All financial statements provided by Seller to SCB have been
prepared from the books and records of Seller, which accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and the acquisitions and dispositions of the assets of
Seller. As of the Closing Date, Seller did not have any liabilities, contingent
or otherwise, whether due or to become due, known or unknown, other than as
indicated on the balance sheet dated December 31, 1998, except for current
liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business since such date.

      2.9 No Material Adverse Changes. Since December 31, 1998, there has not
been (i) any material adverse change in the financial condition, results of
operations, business, assets, prospects or liabilities (contingent or otherwise,
whether due or to become due, known or unknown) of the Seller; (ii) any dividend
declared or paid or distribution made on the capital stock of Seller, or any
capital stock thereof redeemed or repurchased; (iii) any incurrence by Seller of
long term debt for borrowed money; (iv) any increases in salary, bonus, or other
compensation to any officers, employees, or agents of Seller; (v) any pending or
threatened labor disputes or other labor problems against or potentially
affecting Seller; or (vi) any other transaction entered into by Seller, except
in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice.

      2.10  Tax Matters.

            (a) For purposes of this Agreement, (i) "Tax" means any federal,
      state, local, or foreign income, gross receipts, license, payroll,
      employment, excise, severance, stamp, occupation, premium, windfall
      profits, environmental (including taxes under Section 59A of the Internal
      Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")), customs duties, capital
      stock, franchise, profits, withholding, social security (or similar),
      unemployment, disability, real property, personal property, sales, use,
      transfer, registration, value added, alternative or add-on minimum,
      estimated, or other tax of any kind whatsoever, including any interest,
      penalty, or addition thereto, whether disputed or not, and (ii) "Tax
      Return" means any return, report, information return, or other document
      (including any related or supporting information) filed or required to be
      filed with any taxing authority in connection with its determination,
      assessment, collection, administration, or imposition of any Tax.

            (b) Seller has duly and timely filed all Tax Returns required to be
      filed by it and has duly and timely paid all Taxes and other charges
      (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) due or claimed to be due from it
      by federal, foreign, state, or local taxing authorities or has set up an
      adequate reserve for all Taxes payable by Seller. True and correct copies
      of all Tax Returns relating to federal taxes and sales taxes for the
      period from organization through December 31, 1998 have been heretofore
      delivered to SCB. The accruals and reserves for Taxes contained in the
      financial statements and carried on the books of Seller


                                        8
<PAGE>   10
      are adequate to cover all Tax liabilities. Since December 31, 1998, Seller
      has not incurred any Tax liabilities other than in the ordinary course of
      business. There are no Tax liens upon any properties or assets of Seller
      (whether real, personal, or mixed, tangible or intangible), and there are
      no pending or, to the Shareholders' knowledge, threatened audits or
      examinations relating to, or claims asserted for, Taxes or assessments
      against Seller, and the Shareholders are aware of no substantial basis for
      any such claims. Seller has not granted or been requested to grant any
      extension of the limitation period applicable to any claim for Taxes or
      assessments with respect to Taxes. Seller is not a party to any Tax
      allocation or sharing agreement. Seller has no liability for the Taxes of
      any Affiliated Group under Treasury Regulation 1.1502-6 (or any similar
      provision of state, local, or foreign law). Seller has withheld and paid
      all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with
      amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor,
      or shareholder.

            (c) The Seller Disclosure Letter lists each jurisdiction in which
      each Seller files tax returns for each period or portion thereof ending on
      or before the Closing Date. Except as set forth in the Seller Disclosure
      Letter, there is no reason outstanding against Seller by any taxing
      authority in a jurisdiction where Seller does not file Tax Returns that it
      is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction.

            (d) All material elections with respect to Taxes affecting Seller as
      of the date hereof are set forth in the Seller Disclosure Letter.

            (e) All joint venturers, partnerships, or other arrangements or
      contracts to which Seller is a party and that could be treated as a
      partnership for federal income tax purposes are set forth in the Seller
      Disclosure Letter.

            (f) Seller (i) has not filed a consent pursuant to Section 341(f) of
      the Code or agreed to have Section 341(f)(2) apply to any disposition of a
      subsection (f) asset (as such term is defined in Section 341(f) of the
      Code) owned by Seller; (ii) has not agreed, or is not required, to make
      any adjustment under Section 481(a) of the Code by reason of a change in
      accounting method or otherwise that will affect the liability of Seller
      for Taxes; (iii) has not made an election, or is not required, to treat
      any asset of Seller as owned by another person pursuant to the provisions

      2.11  Employees and Fringe Benefit Plans.

            (a) The Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth the names, ages, and
      titles of all members of the Board of Directors and officers of Seller and
      all employees of Seller, and the annual rate of compensation (including
      bonuses) being paid to each such officer and employee as of the most
      recent practicable date.

            (b) The Seller Disclosure Letter lists each employment, bonus,
      deferred compensation, pension, stock option, stock appreciation right,
      profit-sharing, or retirement plan, arrangement, or practice, each
      medical, vacation, retiree medical, severance pay plan, and each other
      agreement or fringe benefit plan, arrangement, or practice, of Seller,
      whether legally binding or not, that affects one or more of Seller's
      employees, including all "employee benefit plans" as defined by Section
      3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
      ("ERISA") (collectively, the "Plans"). Seller does not have, sponsor, or
      participate in any Plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA or the
      minimum funding standards of Section 412 of the Code.

            (c) For each Plan that is an "employee benefit plan" under Section
      3(3) of ERISA, Seller has delivered to SCB correct and complete copies of
      the plan documents and summary plan descriptions, the most recent
      determination letter received from the Internal Revenue Service, the most
      recent Form 5500 Annual Report, and all related trust agreements,
      insurance contracts, and funding agreements that implement each such Plan.

            (d) Seller does not have any commitment, whether formal or informal
      and whether legally binding or not, (i) to create any additional Plan;
      (ii) to modify or change any Plan; or (iii) to maintain for any period of
      time any Plan. The Seller Disclosure Letter contains an accurate and
      complete description of the funding policies (and commitments, if any)
      with respect to each existing Plan.

            (e) Seller has no unfunded past service liability in respect of any
      of its Plans; neither Seller nor any Plan nor any trustee, administrator,
      fiduciary, or sponsor of any Plan has engaged in any prohibited
      transaction as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code
      for which there is no statutory exemption in Section 408 of ERISA or
      Section 4975 of the Code; all filings, reports, and descriptions as to
      such Plans (including Form 5500 Annual Reports, summary plan descriptions,
      and summary annual reports) required to have been made or distributed to
      participants, the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Department
      of Labor, and other governmental agencies have been made in a timely
      manner; there is no litigation, disputed claim, governmental proceeding,
      or investigation pending or threatened with respect to any of the Plans,
      the related trusts, or any


                                       10
<PAGE>   12
      fiduciary, trustee, administrator, or sponsor of the Plans; the Plans have
      been established, maintained, and administered in all respects in
      accordance with their governing documents and applicable provisions of
      ERISA and the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder; and
      each Plan that is intended to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of
      the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal
      Revenue Service with respect to the current terms of the Plan.

            (f) Seller has complied in all respects with all applicable federal,
      state, and local laws, rules, and regulations relating to employees'
      employment and employment relationships, including, without limitation,
      wage related laws, anti-discrimination laws, employee safety laws, and
      COBRA (defined herein to mean the requirements of Code Section 4980B,
      Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-26 and Part 6 of Subtitle B of
      Title I of ERISA).

            (g) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
      Agreement will not (i) result in the payment or series of payments by
      Seller to any employee or other person of an "excess parachute payment"
      within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code; (ii) entitle any employee
      or former employee of Seller to severance pay, unemployment compensation,
      or any other payment; or (iii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting
      of any stock option, stock appreciation right, deferred compensation, or
      other employee benefits under any Plan (including vacation and sick pay).

            (h) None of the Plans that are "welfare benefit plans," within the
      meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA, provide for continuing benefits or
      coverage after termination or retirement from employment, except for COBRA
      rights under a "group health plan" as defined in Code Section 4980B(g) and
      ERISA Section 607.

            (i) Neither Seller nor any member in a "controlled group" with
      Seller (as defined in ERISA) has ever contributed to, participated in, or
      withdrawn from a multi-employer plan as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of
      Title IV of ERISA, and Seller has not incurred and does not owe any
      liability as a result of any partial or complete withdrawal by any
      employer from such a multi-employer plan as described under Section 4201,
      4203, or 4205 of ERISA.

      2.12 Accounts Receivable. All accounts receivable of Seller reflected on
the accounting records of Seller as of the date hereof (collectively, the
"Accounts Receivable") represent or will represent valid obligations arising
from sales actually made or services actually performed in the ordinary course
of business. The Accounts Receivable are current and collectible, net of the
respective reserves shown on the accounting records of Seller as of the date
hereof (which reserves are adequate and calculated consistent with past practice
and will not represent a greater percentage


                                       11
<PAGE>   13
of the Accounts Receivable as of the date hereof than the reserve reflected in
the balance sheet dated December 31, 1998, and will not represent a material
adverse change in the composition of such Accounts Receivable in terms of
aging). Subject to such reserves, each of the Accounts Receivable either has
been or will be collected in full, without any set-off, within one hundred and
twenty (120) days after the day on which it first becomes due and payable. There
is no contest, claim, or right of set-off with any maker of an Account
Receivable relating to the amount or validity of such Account Receivable.

      2.13 Lawful Operations. Seller has been and currently is conducting its
business, and each of the premises leased or owned by Seller have been and now
are being used and operated, in compliance with all statutes, regulations,
orders, covenants, restrictions, and plans of federal, state, regional, county,
or municipal authorities, agencies, or boards applicable to the same.

      2.14 Litigation. There is no suit, action, or proceeding pending or, to
the knowledge of any of the Shareholders or Seller, threatened against or
affecting Seller or the Transferred Assets. Seller is not subject to any
currently existing order, writ, injunction, or decree relating to its
operations.

      2.15 Corporate Records; Other Information. The minute books of Seller,
copies of which have been provided to SCB, reflect all meetings of the boards of
directors, committees of the boards of directors, and the shareholders thereof.
All documents and other written information as to existing facts relating to
Seller and its assets and liabilities which have been provided to SCB in
connection with this Agreement are true, correct, and complete in all material
respects except to the extent that any such documents or other written
information was later specifically supplemented or corrected prior to the date
of this Agreement with additional documents or written information that were
provided to SCB.

      2.16  Hazardous Substances.

            (a) Seller has not authorized nor conducted nor has knowledge of the
generation, transportation, storage, presence, use, treatment, disposal,
release, or handling of (in an amount or of a type that has been or must be
reported to any governmental agency, violates any Environmental Law (as defined
below), or has required or could require remediation expenditures) any hazardous
substance, asbestos, radon, polychlorinated biphenyls ("PCBs"), petroleum
product, or waste (including crude oil or any fraction thereof), natural gas,

into the environment, health, safety, natural resources, and the environment
(collectively, "Environmental Laws");

            (c) Seller has been, and is in compliance with, all licenses,
permits, registrations, and government authorizations necessary to operate under
all applicable Environmental Laws;

            (d) Seller has not received any written or oral notice from any
governmental entity or any other person and there is no pending or, to Seller's
or any Shareholder's knowledge, threatened claim, litigation or any
administrative agency proceeding that: alleges a violation of any Environmental
Law by Seller; alleges Seller is a liable party or a potentially responsible
party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et seq., or any state superfund law; has resulted
in or could result in the attachment of an environmental lien on any real
property owned, leased, or controlled by Seller; or alleges the occurrence of
contamination of any of such real property, damage to natural resources,
property damage, or personal injury based on its activities or the activities of
Seller's predecessors or third parties (whether at the real property or
elsewhere) involving Hazardous Materials, whether arising under the
Environmental Laws, common law principles, or other legal standards.

      2.17 Certain Business Practices and Regulations. Neither Seller, nor to
any of the Shareholder's knowledge, any of its executive officers, directors, or
employees, has (i) made or agreed to make any contribution, payment, or gift to
any customer, supplier, landlord, political candidate, governmental official,

purpose thereof was illegal under any law or regulation; (ii) established or
maintained any unrecorded fund or asset for any purpose or made any false

      2.18 No Brokers. Seller has not entered into any contract, arrangement, or
understanding with any person or firm that may result in the obligation of

leading to this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.

financial condition of SCB (an "SCB Material Adverse Effect"). SCB has all
requisite corporate power and authority to own, operate, and lease its
properties and carry on its business as now conducted.

      3.2 Authorization, Validity, and Effect of Agreements. SCB and Buyer have

to "Global Services, Inc." including, but not limited to, name change documents
in form suitable for filing with the Secretary of State of Colorado, and an
appropriate name change notice for each state where Seller is qualified to do
business. The Shareholders hereby appoint SCB as their attorney-in-fact to file
all such documents on or after the Closing Date. From and after the Closing
Date, the Shareholders will sign such consents and take such other actions as
SCB or Buyer shall reasonably request in order to permit SCB and Buyer to use
the name "Global Services, Inc." and any variations thereof. From and after the
Closing Date, neither Seller nor the Shareholders will use the name "Global
Services, Inc." or any names similar thereto or variants thereof.

from time to time after the Closing and at SCB's reasonable request, will
execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Seller, the Shareholders, Buyer, or SCB, as
the case may be, such other instruments of conveyance and transfer and will take
such other actions and execute and deliver such other documents, certifications,
and further assurances as Seller, the Shareholders, Buyer, or SCB, as the case
may be, may reasonably require in order to better enable the other party to

                         SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND
                           WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION

      5.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and
warranties of the parties contained in Articles 2 and 3 of this Agreement shall
survive for a period of one year from the effective date hereof.

      5.2 Indemnification by Seller and the Shareholders. Subject to the
provisions of this Article 5 and the Escrow Agreement, Seller and the
Shareholders, jointly and severally, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement,
agree to indemnify and hold harmless SCB and Buyer, and each officer, director,
employee, or other agent thereof and their respective estates (each being an
"SCB Indemnified Party"), from and against any and all claims, losses, damages,
liabilities, and expenses (including without limitation, settlement costs and
any legal or other fees or expenses for investigating or defending any actions
or threatened actions) reasonably incurred by such SCB Indemnified Party in
connection with each and all of the following:

            (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty made by Seller
      or the Shareholders in this Agreement;

            (b) the nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant, agreement, or
      obligation of Seller or the Shareholders contained in or contemplated by
      this Agreement;

            (c) any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty contained in any
      statement, certificate, or other document furnished by Seller or the
      Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the
      transaction contemplated by this Agreement; and

            (d) any attempt (whether or not successful) by any person to cause
      or require such SCB Indemnified Party to pay or discharge any debt,
      obligation, liability, or commitment, the existence of which would entitle
      such SCB Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to clauses (a)
      through (c) of this Section 5.2 or would constitute a breach of any such
      representation, warranty, or agreement under this Agreement.

      5.3. Indemnification Procedure. Subject to the provisions of the Escrow
Agreement, if in effect, an SCB Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the
Seller and Shareholders of any claim, demand, action, or proceeding for which
indemnification will be sought under Section 5.2 of this Agreement, and, if such
claim, demand, action, or proceeding is a third party claim, demand, action, or
proceeding, the Seller and the Shareholders will have the right at their expense
to assume the


                                       17
<PAGE>   19
defense thereof using counsel reasonably acceptable to the SCB Indemnified
Party. The SCB Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate, at its own
expense, with respect to any such third party claim, demand, action, or
proceeding. In connection with any such third party claim, demand, action, or
proceeding, SCB, Buyer, Seller and the Shareholders shall cooperate with each
other and provide each other with access to relevant books and records in their
possession. No such third party claim, demand, action, or proceeding shall be
settled without the prior written consent of the SCB Indemnified Party. If a
firm written offer is made to settle any such third party claim, demand, action,
or proceeding and the Seller and Shareholders propose to accept such settlement,
and the SCB Indemnified Party refuses to consent to such settlement, then: (i)
the Seller and Shareholders shall be excused from, and the SCB Indemnified Party
shall be solely responsible for, all further defense of such third party claim,
demand, action, or proceeding; and (ii) the maximum liability of the Seller and
Shareholders relating to such third party claim, demand, action, or proceeding
shall be the amount of the proposed settlement if the amount thereafter
recovered from the SCB Indemnified Party on such third party claim, demand,
action, or proceeding is greater than the amount of the proposed settlement.

such contract or agreement, such consent shall not be obtained or an attempted
assignment thereof would be ineffective and would affect the rights of Seller
thereunder, Seller will cooperate with Buyer in any reasonable arrangement
designed to provide for Buyer the benefits under any such contract or agreement,
including the enforcement, for the benefit of the Buyer, of any and all rights
of Seller or Buyer against such other party thereto arising out of the breach or
cancellation thereof by such other party or otherwise.

Exhibits attached hereto and referred to herein are hereby incorporated herein
and made a part hereof for all purposes as if fully set forth herein.

      6.10 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without
rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this
Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this
Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted
to be only so broad as is enforceable.

connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement was
not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached.
It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or
injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction, this
being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled by contract, at
law, or in equity.
