                                       2
<PAGE>
                           (a)      any debt, liability or obligation of Seller
or any affiliates or associates, direct or indirect, known or unknown, fixed,
contingent or otherwise, that (i) is unrelated to the Assets; or (ii) relates to
the Assets and is based upon or arises from any act, omission, transaction,
circumstance, sale of goods or services, state of facts or other condition
occurring or existing on or before the Closing Date (as defined below), whether
or not then known, due or payable;

                           (b)      any obligation for Taxes related to any of
the Assets for any tax period or portion thereof ending on or before the
Effective Date (including the sales tax liability relating to or arising from
the transfer of Assets) and any obligation for other Taxes of Seller; and

                           (c)      any debt, liability or obligation, direct or
indirect, known or unknown, fixed, contingent or otherwise, based upon or
arising from any act, omission, transaction, circumstance, state of facts or
other condition occurring or existing on or before the Closing Date and relating
to any employee benefit plan, policy, practice or agreement to which Seller is a
party or under which Seller's employees or former employees is covered.

                  1.4      Purchase Price. Provided the contingent revenue goals
are met, the total consideration to be paid by Buyer to Seller for the Assets
(the "Purchase Price") will be two and one half (2 1/2) times the Weighted
Average of the "Adjusted EBITDA". For purposes of this Agreement, Adjusted
EBITDA will mean, for each of the three (3) periods identified below, the
reported net income, plus the corresponding interest expense, finance charges,
taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, auto expenses, mobile
telephone and officer's salary.

                           (a)      The 2002 Annualised Adjusted EBITDA period
will be calculated through October 31, 2002, divided by ten (10) months and
multiplied by twelve (12) months. For example, a $20,000 year to date Adjusted
EBITDA as of October 31, 2002 would equate to a $24,000 annualised Adjusted
EBITDA ($20,000 divided by 10 months equals $2,000, which multiplied by 12
equals an annualised Adjusted EBITDA of $24,000).

                           (b)      The 2001 Adjusted EBITDA will include the
twelve (12) months ended December 31, 2001.

                           (c)      The 2000 Adjusted EBITDA will include the
twelve (12) months ended December 31, 2000.

The Weighted Average of the Adjusted EBITDA for the 2002, 2001 and 2000 periods
will be calculated by taking three (3) times the 2002 Annualised Adjusted
EBITDA, plus two (2) times the 2001 Adjusted EBITDA, plus one (1) times the 2000
Adjusted EBITDA. The total of these three (3) amounts will then be divided by
six (6) to determine the Weighted Average Adjusted EBITDA. The calculated amount
of the Purchase Price will be set forth on the Purchase Price Calculation
Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit 1.4 and initialled by Buyer and Seller on
the Closing Date.

                  1.5      Payment of Purchase Price; Contingencies. Buyer will
pay the Purchase Price to Seller as follows:

                                       3
<PAGE>
                           (a)      Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Purchase
Price will be paid by Buyer to Seller or for the benefit of Seller in
immediately available funds on the Closing Date.

                           (b)      Provided Revenues (as hereinafter defined)
for the six (6) full six month period ending on October 31, 2003 are no less
than the Target Revenue Amount (as hereinafter defined), then twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Purchase Price will be payable by Buyer to Seller on
November 30, 2003. If Revenues for the specified period are less than the Target
Revenue Amount, then twelve and one half percent (12 1/2%) of the Purchase Price
will be payable by Buyer to Seller on or before November 30, 2003. For purposes
of this Agreement, the term Target Revenue Amount shall mean forty-five percent
(45%) of the 2002 Annualised Revenues. The Target Revenue Amount shall be set
forth in Exhibit 1.4 and initialled by Buyer and Seller on the Closing Date. For
purposes of this Agreement, the term 2002 Annualised Revenues shall mean
Seller's Net Sales for the period from January 1, 2002 through October 31, 2002
multiplied by 1.2.

                           (c)      Provided Revenues for the six (6) full month
period ending on April 30, 2004 are no less than the Target Revenue Amount, then
twenty-five percent (25%) of the Purchase Price will be payable by Buyer to
Seller on May 31, 2004. If Revenues for the specified period are less than the
Target Revenue Amount, then twelve and one half percent (12 1/2%) of the
Purchase Price will be payable by Buyer to Seller on or before May 31, 2004.

                           (d)      Provided Revenues for the six (6) full month
period ending on October 31, 2004 are no less than the Target Revenue Amount (as
hereinafter defined), then twenty-five percent (25%) of the Purchase Price will
be payable by Buyer to Seller on November 30, 2004. If Revenues for the
specified period are less than the Target Revenue Amount, then twelve and one
half percent (12 1/2%) of the Purchase Price will be payable by Buyer to Seller
on or before November 30, 2004.

For purposes of Section 1.5 of this Agreement, "Revenues" shall mean:

                                    (i)      one hundred percent (100%) of
post-Closing revenues from customers from which Seller has received revenues
prior to the Effective Date but from which Buyer (or its predecessors) have not

                                    (ii)     fifty percent (50%) of post-Closing

as set forth on Exhibit 1.5; plus

                                    (iii)    for customers for which both Seller
and Buyer provided social work services on the Effective Date ("Joint Active
Customers") as set forth on Exhibit 1.5, one hundred percent (100%) of
post-Closing revenues generated by an employee of Seller transferred to Buyer

thereafter ("Joint Active Customers") as set forth on Exhibit 1.5; plus

                                       4
<PAGE>
                                    (iv)     except as set forth in subparagraph
(iii), fifty percent (50%) of post-Closing revenues from Joint Active Customers;
plus

                                    (v)      one hundred percent (100%) of

Revenues shall be determined on an accrual basis but net of any discounts,
allowances or uncollectible amounts. Any invoice which has not been paid within
six (6) months following the invoice date shall be deemed uncollectible and
shall be offset against revenues. Buyer shall provide detailed monthly reports
of revenues to Shareholder reflecting the above breakdown and calculations
within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar month.

                  1.6      Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price will
be allocated among the Assets in the manner required by Section 1060 of the
Internal Revenue Code. In making such allocation, the allocations set forth in
Exhibit 1.6 attached hereto will apply. In preparing Exhibit 1.6, Buyer and
Seller have negotiated in good faith the values of the Assets and the resulting
allocation of the Purchase Price among the various Assets; it being understood
that such determination will be binding on Buyer only for the purposes of U.S.
Federal, state and local taxation. Buyer will file all Tax Returns and tax
reports (including IRS Form 8594) in accordance with and based upon such
allocation and will take no position in any Tax Return, tax proceeding or tax
audit which is inconsistent with such allocation.

         2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER AND SHAREHOLDER

         Seller and Shareholder hereby, jointly and severally, represent and
warrant to the Buyer as follows, which representations and warranties shall be
true and correct as of the Effective Date and the Closing Date:

                  2.1      Disclosure Schedule. The disclosure schedule attached
as Exhibit 2 hereto (the "Disclosure Schedule") is divided into sections which
correspond to the sections of this Article 2. The Disclosure Schedule is
accurate and complete. Nothing in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed
adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein,
unless the Disclosure Schedule identifies the exception with reasonable
particularity and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a
copy) of a document or other item shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an
exception to a representation or warranty made herein (unless the representation
or warranty has to do with the existence of the document or other item itself).
Disclosures in any subsection of the Disclosure Schedule shall not constitute
disclosure for purposes of any other subsection and other section of this
Agreement or any exhibit to or other writing which is designated herein as being
part of this Agreement.

                  2.2      Organization, etc. Seller is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
California with requisite power and authority to carry on its business as it is
now being conducted and to own, operate and lease its properties and assets.
Seller is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation in
good standing in every other jurisdiction in which the character or location of
the properties and assets owned, leased or operated by it or the conduct of its
business requires such qualification or licensing, except in such jurisdictions
in which the failure to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing would
not have a Material Adverse Effect on Seller. The Disclosure Schedule contains a
list of all jurisdictions in which Seller is qualified or licensed to do
business and includes complete and correct copies of Seller's articles of
incorporation and bylaws. Seller does not own or control any capital stock of
any corporation or any interest in any partnership, limited liability company,
joint venture or other entity.

                  2.3      Seller Authorization. Seller has all necessary power
and authority to enter into this Agreement and all other documents executed and
delivered in connection herewith, including but not limited to those instruments
of transfer described in Section 1.9 (collectively, "Documents") and to carry
out the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without

                                       6
<PAGE>
limitation, the power to sell, transfer and convey the Assets). All action on
the part of Seller and its shareholders necessary for the authorization,
execution, delivery and performance of the each of the Documents has been taken
and no further action or other authorization is required to consummate the
transactions provided for in the Documents. When executed and delivered by
Seller, the Documents shall constitute the valid and binding legal obligation of
Seller enforceable in accordance with their respective terms subject to the laws
on insolvency and equitable remedies.

                  2.4      Shareholder Authorization. Shareholder has all
requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the other
documents contemplated hereby to which Shareholder is a party, and to perform
Shareholder's obligations hereunder and thereunder. This Agreement and the other
documents contemplated hereby to which Shareholder is a party have been duly
executed and delivered by Shareholder and constitute the valid and binding
agreements of Shareholder, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

                  2.5      Capitalization. The Disclosure Schedule accurately
sets forth the authorized and outstanding capital stock of Seller and the name
and number of shares of capital stock held by each shareholder of Seller. All of
the issued and outstanding shares of Seller's capital stock have been duly
authorized, are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, are not subject
to, nor were they issued in violation of, any preemptive rights, and are owned
of record by Shareholder. There are no outstanding or authorized options,
warrants, rights, contracts, calls, puts, rights to subscribe, conversion rights
or other agreements or commitments to which Seller or Shareholder is a party or
which are binding upon Seller or Shareholder providing for the issuance,
disposition or acquisition of any of Seller's capital stock. There are no voting
trusts, proxies or any other agreements or understandings with respect to the
voting of the capital stock of Seller. Seller is not subject to any obligation
(contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire any
shares of its capital stock.

                  2.6      Non-Contravention. Except as set forth in the
Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will: (i)
violate or be in conflict with any provision of the certificate or articles of
incorporation or bylaws of Seller; (ii) be in conflict with, or constitute a
default, however defined (or an event which, with the giving of due notice or
lapse of time, or both, would constitute such a default), under, or cause or
permit the acceleration of the maturity of, or give rise to any right of
termination, cancellation, imposition of fees or penalties under any debt, note,
bond, lease, mortgage, indenture, license, obligation, contract, commitment,
franchise, permit, instrument or other agreement or obligation to which Seller
is a party or by which Seller or any of Seller's properties or assets is or may
be bound or result in the creation or imposition of any pledges, liens, security
interests, restrictions, claims or charges of any kind upon any property or
assets of Seller under any debt, obligation, contract, agreement or commitment

limitation any Authority, is required in connection with the execution, delivery

carry out the intent of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, at any time after the Closing, at the request of Buyer and without
further consideration, Seller will execute and deliver such instruments of sale,
transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation and take such action as Buyer
may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to more effectively

hereto shall make any public announcement with respect to the transactions
contemplated herein without the prior written consent of the other party, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that
any of the parties hereto may at any time make any announcements which are
required by applicable Law so long as the party so required to make an
announcement promptly upon learning of such requirement notifies the other party
of such requirement and discusses with the other party in good faith the exact
proposed wording of any such announcement.

discussions will not be commenced prior to the giving of notice by Seller to the
employees of Seller of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii)
all such discussions will be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere
unreasonably with the business operations of Seller. The terms and conditions of
such employment will be established by Buyer in its sole discretion.

former employee or other individual arising in connection with group health plan
coverage.

                           (c)      Buyer shall have no liability whatsoever and
Seller shall retain, bear and discharge all liabilities and obligations (whether
absolute, contingent or otherwise) relating to workers' compensation claims made
by (i) any employee filed or presented before the Effective Date, (ii) any
employee filed or presented before or after the Closing Date but relating to

the foregoing as is reasonably necessary to exercise such powers, as Buyer may

Seller or by its dissolution in any manner or for any reason. Buyer will retain
for its own account any amounts collected pursuant to the foregoing power,

date), or

                           (b)      any court of competent jurisdiction in the

         8. SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION; RELEASE

                  8.1      Survival of Representations, Warranties and
Covenants; Investigation. All representations, warranties and covenants of the
parties contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing Date without
limitation as to time. The right to indemnification or any other remedy based on
representations, warranties, covenants and obligations in this Agreement will
not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge
acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to
the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation,
warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any condition based on the
accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or
compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to
indemnification or any other remedy based on such representations, warranties,
covenants and obligations.

                  8.2      Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all losses,
liabilities, obligations, demands, judgments, settlements, damages (but
excluding claims for consequential damages, lost profits or punitive damages) or
reasonable expense (including but not limited to interest, penalties, fees and
reasonable professional fees and expenses) and against all claims in respect
thereof (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement and
reasonable costs of investigation) whether or not involving a third-party claim
(collectively as "Seller's Loss" or "Seller's Losses") to which Seller may
suffer or incur, directly or indirectly, as a result from or in connection with:

                           (a)      any untrue representation of, or breach of
warranty by, Buyer in any part of this Agreement;

                           (b)      the breach of or nonfulfillment of any
covenant, agreement or undertaking of Buyer in this Agreement; and

                           (c)      the use of the Assets after the Effective
Date.

                  8.3      Indemnification by Seller. Seller agrees to indemnify
Buyer and its subsidiaries and affiliates and each of their respective
shareholders, officers and directors (collectively the "Buyer Indemnified
Parties") against all losses, liabilities, obligations, demands, judgments,
settlements, damages (but excluding any claims for consequential damages, lost
profits or punitive damages suffered directly by Buyer as opposed to
consequential damages, lost profits or punitive damages paid by Buyer to a third
party), or reasonable expenses (including, but not limited to, interest,
penalties, fees, and reasonable professional fees and expenses) and against all
claims in respect thereof (including, without limitation, amounts paid in
settlement and reasonable costs of investigation), whether or not involving a
third-party claim (herein

                                       22
<PAGE>
referred to collectively as "Buyer's Losses" or individually as a "Buyer's
Loss") to which the Buyer Indemnified Parties may suffer or incur, directly or
indirectly, as a result from or in connection with:

                           (a)      any untrue representation of or breach of
warranty, by Seller in any part of this Agreement;

                           (b)      the breach of or nonfulfillment of any
covenant, agreement or undertaking of Seller in this Agreement; and

                           (c)      the use of the Assets on or before the
Effective Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller's obligations pursuant to this Agreement,
including but not limited to Section 8.3, will be limited to the amount, if any,
which Seller receives from Buyer pursuant to Section 1.5(b) through (d) of this
Agreement.

                  8.4      Right of Set-Off. Upon at least ten (10) business
days prior written notice to the Seller, specifying in reasonable detail the
basis therefore, Buyer may set-off any amount to which it may be entitled under
this Article 8 against the payments to be made by Buyer of the Purchase Price
payable to Seller pursuant to Section 1.5(b) though (d) of this Agreement. The
exercise of such right of set-off by Buyer shall not constitute an event of
default or a breach under this Agreement. Neither the exercise of, nor the
failure to exercise, such right of set-off shall constitute an election of
remedies nor limit Buyer in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies
that may be available to it. If Seller objects to the set off by written notice
to Buyer prior to the payment date, Buyer shall place the amount in dispute in
escrow with a mutually acceptable escrow agent. Such amount may be withdrawn
only upon mutual written agreement of the parties or pursuant to an award of the
arbitral tribunal in accordance with Section 10.8.

                  8.5      Claims for Indemnification.

                           (a)      General. The parties intend that all
indemnification claims be made as promptly as practicable by the party seeking
indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") and prior to the expiration of the
applicable representation, warranty or covenant. Whenever any claim shall arise
for indemnification hereunder the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the
party from whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of the
claim and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim (the
"Notice"). The failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party
except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby, such delay
shall not modify the time requirements for the filing of a claim as set forth in
Section 9.1. For purposes of this Agreement, the date which is three business
days after the Notice is first mailed or otherwise released for dispatch to the
Indemnifying Party is hereinafter referred to as the "Notice Delivery Date."

                           (b)      Claims by Third Parties. With respect to
claims made by third parties, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume
control of the defense of such action or claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that:

                                       23
<PAGE>
                                    (i)      the Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel at
its own expense to assist in the handling of such claim;

                                    (ii)     no Indemnifying Party shall
consent to (A) the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does
not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or
plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect
of such claim or (B) if, pursuant to or as a result of such consent or
settlement, injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the
Indemnified Party or such judgment or settlement could materially interfere with
the business, operations or assets of the Indemnified Party; and

                                    (iii)    if the Indemnifying Party does not
assume control of the defense of such claim in accordance with the foregoing
provisions within ten (10) business days after the Notice Delivery Date, the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend such claim in such manner as
it may deem appropriate at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, and
the Indemnifying Party will promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party therefore
in accordance with this Article 9; provided that the Indemnified Party shall
not be entitled to consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement of such claim that does not include as an unconditional term thereof
the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnifying Party of a
release from all liability in respect of such claim and provided that
Indemnified Party shall not be entitled without the prior written consent of
the Indemnifying Party to enter into a consent or settlement if injunctive or
other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnifying Party or such
judgment or settlement could materially interfere with the business, operations
or assets of the Indemnifying Party.

                           (c)      Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided
herein shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any party of any
rights or the seeking of any other remedies against any other party.

                           (d)      Payment of Buyer's Losses. Subject to the
limitations described above, all Buyer's Losses hereunder shall be paid on a
dollar for dollar basis.

         9. SELLER'S ACCOUNT RECEIVABLES

                  Seller shall notify Buyer of all payments received by Seller
after the Closing Date from any third party in connection with or arising out of
any of the Receivables. All payments received by Buyer after the Closing Date
from any third party in connection with or arising out of any of the Receivables
shall be held by Buyer in trust for the benefit of Seller. Promptly following
receipt by Buyer of such a payment, Buyer shall deposit said payment and pay, or
cause to be paid, over to Seller, the amount of such payment or reimbursement
without right of setoff. In the event a payment is received which does not
specify whether it is applicable to an invoice for Receivables or for
receivables generated by Buyer following the Effective Date, Buyer shall first
apply the payment to any unpaid Receivables of the payor.

                                       24

contemplated hereby.

                  10.2     Amendment and Modification. Subject to applicable

provided, however, that all such amendments and modifications must be in writing
duly executed by all of the parties hereto.

                  10.3     Waiver of Compliance; Consents. Any failure of a
party to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may
be expressly waived in writing by the party entitled hereby to such compliance,
but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such
obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of,
or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. No single or
partial exercise of a right or remedy will preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or of any other right or remedy hereunder. Whenever this
Agreement requires or permits the consent by or on behalf of a party, such
consent will be given in writing in the same manner as for waivers of
compliance.

                  10.4     No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this
Agreement will entitle any person or entity (other than a party hereto and his,
her or its respective successors and assigns permitted hereby) to any claim,
cause of action, remedy or right of any kind.

                  10.5     Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other

                           c/o OptimumCare Corporation

                           Facsimile (310) 410-5148

or to such other person or address as Buyer furnishes to the other parties
hereto in writing in accordance with this subsection.

                  10.6     Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions
hereof will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and permitted assigns, but neither this Agreement
nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder will be assigned
(whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise) by any of
the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties,
provided, however, that the Buyer may assign its rights (but not its
obligations) under this Agreement, in whole or in any part, and from time to
time, to a wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiary of Buyer.

                  10.7     Governing Law. This Agreement and the legal relations
among the parties hereto will be governed by and construed in accordance with
the internal substantive laws of the State of California (without regard to the
laws of conflict that might otherwise apply) as to all matters, including
without limitation matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and
remedies.

                  10.8     Arbitration.

                           (a)     The parties agree that any dispute arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or the formation, breach, termination or
validity thereof, except for injunctive relief contemplated by Section 10.12 (a
"Dispute") will be resolved as follows. If the Dispute cannot be settled through
direct discussions, the parties will first try to settle the Dispute in an
amicable manner by mediation under the Commercial Mediation Rules of the
American Arbitration Association, before resorting to arbitration. Any Dispute
that has not been resolved within 60 days of the initiation of the mediation
procedure (the "Mediation Deadline") will be settled by binding arbitration in
Los Angeles, California by a panel of three (3) arbitrators, selected in
accordance with subsection (b) below, in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "American
Arbitration Rules"). The arbitrators in any such arbitration will have the
discretion to order a pre-hearing exchange of information by the parties,
including, without limitation, production of requested documents, exchange of
summaries of testimony and proposed witnesses, and examination by deposition of
parties. The arbitrators are not empowered to award damages in excess of
compensatory damages, as limited by this Agreement, and each party hereby
irrevocably waives any damages in excess of compensatory damages. Judgment upon
any arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof
and the parties consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of
California for this purpose. The parties agree that service of process and of
any notices required

                                       26
<PAGE>
in connection with any arbitration hereunder or any related court proceedings
may be given in the manner provided for the giving of notices under this
Agreement as set forth in Section 10.5.

                           (b)     Within twenty (20) days of the Mediation
Deadline, Buyer will nominate one arbitrator and Seller will nominate one
arbitrator. Within thirty (30) days of the nomination and appointment of the two
arbitrators, the two arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator, and if they
fail to do so, a neutral arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with the
American Arbitration Rules.

                  10.9     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

                  10.10    Headings. The headings of the sections and
subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not
constitute a part hereof.

                  10.11    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the exhibits and
other writings referred to in this Agreement or any such exhibit or other
writing are part of this Agreement, together they embody the entire agreement
and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and together they are referred to as this
"Agreement" or the "Agreement". There are no restrictions, promises, warranties,
agreements, covenants or undertakings, other than those expressly set forth or
referred to in this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements
and understandings between the parties with respect to the transaction or
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Provisions of this Agreement will
be interpreted to be valid and enforceable under applicable Law to the extent
that such interpretation does not materially alter this Agreement; provided,
however, that if any such provision shall become invalid or unenforceable under
applicable Law such provision will be stricken to the extent necessary and the
remainder of such provisions and the remainder of this Agreement will continue
in full force and effect.

                  10.12    Injunctive Relief. It is expressly agreed among the
parties hereto that monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate a party
hereto for any breach by any other party of its covenants and agreements hereof.
Accordingly, the parties agree and acknowledge that any such violation or
threatened violation will cause irreparable injury to the other and that, in
addition to any other remedies which may be available, such party will be
entitled to injunctive relief against the threatened breach hereof or the
continuation of any such breach without the necessity or proving actual damages
and may seek to specifically enforce the terms thereof.

                  10.13    Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement,
