business interests) that results in the Registration Statement or any document
incorporated therein by reference containing an untrue statement of material
fact or omitting to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, the Selling
Shareholders will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement until the Selling Shareholders are in
receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus that does not contain
an untrue statement of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they are made, not misleading, or until they are advised in writing by

Selling Shareholders against any and all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities, joint or several (including any investigation, legal and other
expenses incurred in connection with and any amount paid in settlement of any
action, suit, proceeding or asserted claim) insofar as such losses, claims,
damages and liabilities arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act
and any amendments thereto or any prospectus or preliminary prospectus forming a


                                          4
<PAGE>

part thereof or any supplement thereto, or (b) the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, except for any such untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission that is made in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished by the Selling
Shareholders in writing specifically for inclusion in such Registration
Statement, Prospectus, Preliminary Prospectus, amendment or supplement;
provided, however, that AMCOR shall not be liable in any such case to, or in
respect of the Selling Shareholders to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or expenses arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement made in any preliminary prospectus if (i) such
Selling Shareholders fail to send or deliver a copy of the Prospectus with, or
prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale of Registrable
Securities, and (ii) the Prospectus would have completely corrected such untrue
statement or omission.

proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against
the indemnifying party, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement
of such action, suit or proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers served, the
omission so to notify such indemnifying party for any such action, suit or
proceeding shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any
indemnified party otherwise then under this Section 2.5.7. In case any such
action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party and it
shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement.

          2.5.8     REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. With a view to making available the
benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may at any time
permit the sale of the Shares to the public without registration or a
registration on SEC Form S-3, AMCOR agrees to use its best efforts to: (i) make

filed by AMCOR for an offering of its securities to the general public; (ii)
file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents

Liability"). As of the Closing Date, the actual Tax Liability may be in excess
of that amount. AMCOR has agreed to assume and be responsible for the payment of
the Tax Liability and such assumption by AMCOR has previously been reflected in
an adjustment to the consideration paid to Sellers by decreasing the Purchase

Liability, TransPacific has duly and timely filed with all appropriate
Governmental Agencies, all tax returns, information returns, and reports

penalties, assessments and deficiencies owed by TransPacific to all taxing
authorities. Complete and correct copies of (a) the income tax returns of

filed by TransPacific with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and all state
taxing authorities ("Returns"), (b) all audit reports received by TransPacific
during the last two (2) years and issued by the IRS or any state taxing
authorities, if any; and (c) all consents and agreements entered into by
TransPacific during the last two (2) years with the IRS or any state taxing
authorities, if any, ("Tax Agreements") have been delivered to Purchasers by
Sellers and set forth in Schedule 4.1.12. All information reported on the
Returns is true, accurate, and complete. All claims by the IRS or any state
taxing authorities for taxes due and payable by TransPacific have been paid by
TransPacific. All federal income tax returns required to be filed- by
TransPacific have either been examined by the IRS, or the period during which
any assessments may be made by the IRS has expired WITHOUT waiver or EXTENSION
for all years THROUGH TransPacific's fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, and
any deficiencies or assessments claimed or made have been paid, settled, or
fully provided for in the Financial Statements. TransPacific is not a party to
and is not aware of, any pending or threatened action, suit, proceeding, or
assessment against it for the collection of taxes by any Governmental Agency.
Sellers have reviewed and approved TransPacific returns and all other tax
matters on behalf of TransPacific.

          4.1.13. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE; ACCOUNTS PAYABLE. TransPacific's accounts
receivable specified on TransPacific's Balance Sheet as of August 31, 1997

5.   COVENANTS AGAINST COMPETITION.

     5.1. SELLERS' AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE. The parties acknowledge that
following the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Sellers Shares, the
Purchaser will enter into an employment agreements with Gus K. Franklin and
Susan K. Franklin (collectively, the "Franklins"). The Purchaser and the
Franklins acknowledge and agree that the services of the Franklins will be of a
special and unusual character which have a unique value to the Purchaser, the
loss of which cannot be adequately compensated by damages in an action at law
and, if used in competition with the Purchaser, could cause serious harm to the
Purchaser. Additionally, the Franklins and the Purchaser also recognize that an
important part of the Franklins' duties will be to develop good will for the
Purchaser through the Franklins' personal contact with individual and group
subscribers of TransPacific's services, agents and other persons having business
relationships with the Purchaser, and that there is a danger that this good
will, a proprietary asset of the Purchaser, may follow Gus and Susan Franklin,
if and when their relationship with the Purchaser is terminated. Accordingly,
Gus and Susan Franklin agree that they shall not, during the time period that
they are employed by Purchaser and for a period of two years from the date of
the termination of such employment for any reason whatsoever, do any of the
following: (i) directly or indirectly, solicit or otherwise contact any person
who then receives or has the right to receive or at any prior time received or
had the right to receive from TransPacific's or Purchaser's services
("Subscriber") for the purpose of seeking to obtain any such Subscriber as a
subscriber to or beneficiary of a similar business conducted by any person other
than the Purchaser; (ii) directly or indirectly employ, hire or otherwise engage
the services of or associate in any business with any other person who is or has
been employed by either the Purchaser, or any affiliate of the Purchaser, unless
such other person shall have ceased to be employed by the Purchaser, (as the
case may be), or the Affiliate of the Purchaser, for at least one year, or (iii)
engage, directly or indirectly, as a proprietor, stock holder, partner,
director, of office, employee, independent


                                          18
<PAGE>

contractor or otherwise in the business of providing services in competition
with Purchaser, in any of the counties of California or any other state, as more
particularly set forth in Schedule 5.1, in which Purchaser provides its services
on the date the Franklins' employment with the Purchaser is terminated for any
reason whatsoever.

     5.2. ENFORCEABILITY. The parties agree that to the extent that any
provision or portion of Section 5.1 of this Agreement shall be held, found or
deemed to be unreasonable, unlawful or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, then any such provision or portion thereof shall be deemed to be
modified to the extent necessary in order that any such provision or portion
thereof shall be legally enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law; and the parties do further agree that any court of competent
jurisdiction shall, and the parties do hereby expressly authorize, request and
empower any court of competent jurisdiction to, enforce any such provision or
portion thereof or to modify any such provision or portion thereof in order that
any such provision or portion thereof shall be enforced by such court to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

     5.3. RIGHT TO ENJOIN. As the violation by Gus K. Franklin or Susan K.
Franklin of the provisions of Section 5.1 of this Agreement would cause
irreparable injury to the Purchaser, and there is no adequate remedy at law for
such violation, the Purchaser shall have the right, in addition to any other
remedies available at law or in equity, to enjoin Gus K. Franklin or Susan K.
Franklin in a court of equity from violating such provisions.

6.   INDEMNIFICATION.

     6.1. TransPacific, Gus K. Franklin and Susan K. Franklin shall jointly
and severally defend, indemnify and hold Purchaser its officers, directors,
stockholders, representatives, agents, accountants, attorneys, servants and
employees, and their respective heirs, personal and legal representatives,
guardians, successors and assigns harmless, in respect of any and all claims,
threats, liabilities, taxes, interest, fines, penalties, suits, actions,
proceedings, demands, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including without
limitation, settlement costs and any attorneys' and experts' fees and court
costs) of every kind and nature reasonably incurred by Purchaser arising out of,
resulting from, or in connection with:

          6.1.1.    Any misrepresentation or breach by TransPacific or the
Sellers of any representation or warranty specified in this Agreement.

          6.1.2.    Any nonfulfillment, failure to comply or breach by
TransPacific or the Sellers or either of them, of or with any covenant, promise
or agreement of the Sellers or any of Sellers specified in this Agreement.

     6.2. INDEMNIFICATION BY PURCHASER. The Purchaser shall defend
indemnify and hold the Sellers and their respective heirs, personal and legal
representatives, guardians, successors and assigns harmless from and against any
and all claims, threats, liabilities, taxes, interest, fines, penalties, suits,
actions, proceedings, demands, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including
attorneys' and experts' fees and court costs) of every kind and nature arising
out of, resulting from, or in connection with:


                                          19
<PAGE>

          6.2.1.    Any misrepresentation omission or breach by Purchaser of 
any representation or warranty specified in this Agreement.

          6.2.2.    Any nonfulfillment, failure to comply or breach by the 
Purchaser of or with any covenant, promise or agreement of the Purchaser 
specified in this Agreement.

6.3  CLAIMS FOR INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION.

          6.3.1     Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification 
hereunder, the party entitled to indemnification ("Indemnified Party") shall 
promptly notify the other party ("Indemnifying Party") of the claim and, when 
known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim. In the event of any 
claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any 
claim or legal proceedings by a third party, the notice to the Indemnifying 
Party shall specify, if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the 
liability arising therefrom. The Indemnified Party shall not settle or 
compromise any claim by a third party for which it is entitled to 
indemnification hereunder, without the prior written consent of the 
Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless suit 
shall have been instituted against it and the Indemnifying Party shall not 
have acknowledged and performed its indemnity obligations after notification 
of such suit as provided in Section 6.3.2.

          6.3.2     In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnity 
hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal proceeding by a 
person who is not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall 
timely pay all reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and other expenses as they 
are incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of any 
such claim or legal proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to 
select capable and qualified counsel to defend any such claim. The 
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any 
such action, with its counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying 
Party does not acknowledge to the Indemnified Party, in writing, its 
obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to all elements 
of such claim or does not timely pay all reasonable attorneys' fees, costs 
and other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such 
claim, the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or litigation, in 
such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, 
settling such claim or litigation, in such manner as it may deem appropriate, 
including, but not limited to, settling such claim or litigation, after 
giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the 
Indemnified Party may deem appropriate. If the Indemnifying Party thereafter 
seeks to question the manner in which the Indemnified Party defended such 
third party claim or the amount or nature of any such settlement, the 
Indemnifying Party shall have the burden to prove by a preponderance of the 
evidence that the Indemnified Party did not defend or settle such third party 
claim in a reasonably prudent manner.

          6.3.3     Each party will fully cooperate with the other in the 
defense or prosecution of any litigation or proceedings already instituted or 
which may be instituted hereafter against or by such party relating to or 
arising out of the conduct of the business of TransPacific prior to or after 
the Closing Date (other than litigation arising out of the transactions 
contemplated by this Agreement). The party requesting such cooperation shall 
pay the out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees and disbursements) of 
the party providing such cooperation and of its officers, directors, 
employees and agents reasonably


                                          20
<PAGE>

incurred in connection with providing such cooperation, but shall not be
responsible to reimburse the party providing such cooperation for such party's
time spent in such cooperation or the salaries or costs of fringe benefits or
other similar expenses paid by the party providing such cooperation to its
officers, directors, employees and agents while assisting in the defense or
prosecution of any such litigation or proceeding.

     6.4  SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Regardless of any
investigation at any time made by or on behalf of any party, or of any
information any party may have in respect thereof, all covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made hereunder or pursuant thereto or in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall survive the Closing.
