                  (iv) obligations of Seller to certain management employees in
                  connection with certain retention agreements offered by
                  Seller, all of which are set forth on Schedule 2.2(b)(iv)
                  hereto;

                  (v)  the expenses of Seller set forth in Sections 12.13 and
                  12.14 hereof;

                  (vi) any obligations that arise under any guaranty or surety
                  arrangement made by any Seller, all of which are set forth on
                  Schedule 2.2(b)(vi) hereto;
                  -------------------

                  (vii) any obligations that arise under that certain Agreement
                  dated October 20, 1997 between Calumet Coach Company, an
                  Illinois corporation, and Recovery Systems, Inc.; and

                  (viii) any debts, liabilities or obligations, known or
                  unknown, contingent or liquidated or otherwise, not
                  specifically assumed by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.2(a)
                  hereof, including, without limitation, any obligations or
                  liabilities that are reflected on, or that result from or
                  relate to proceedings reflected on, Schedule 4.24 hereto.

                  2.3 UK Subsidiary. Seller agrees that Purchaser may elect, in
its sole discretion, to have Seller transfer the assets and employees of Calumet
Coach (respectively, the "Calumet Coach Assets" and the "Calumet Coach
Employees") directly to an English company that is directly or indirectly wholly
owned by Purchaser (the "UK Subsidiary"). Seller agrees to execute such
documents and take such further actions as are reasonably necessary and
consistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement in order to effect
the transfer of the Calumet Coach Assets and the Calumet Coach Employees to the
UK Subsidiary.

         2.4      UK Value Added Tax.  (a) Seller and Purchaser consider that
                     ---------------
section 49(1) of the Value Added Tax Act 1994 of England and Wales ("VATA") and
Article 5 of the Value Added Tax (Special Provisions) Order 1995 of England and
Wales will apply to the sale and purchase of the Calumet Coach Assets, so that
the transaction is treated as a transfer of a going concern.  Accordingly:

                           (i) Seller shall at Closing deliver to the Purchaser
                  all records relating to the Calumet Coach Assets required by
                  section 49(1)(b) of VATA to be preserved by Purchaser. Seller
                  shall not apply for a direction pursuant to section 49(1)(b)
                  of VATA permitting the retention by Seller of those records.

                           (ii) Seller and Purchaser shall use all reasonable
                  endeavors to secure that, pursuant to the provisions referred
                  to above, the sale of Calumet Coach Assets hereunder is
                  treated as neither a supply of goods nor a supply of services
                  for Value Added Tax ("VAT") purposes; and

                           (iii) no re-allocation of Seller's VAT registration
number to Purchaser shall be applied for.

                  (b)      Seller warrants and undertakes to Purchaser that:

                           (i) neither it nor any relevant associate (within the
                  meaning of paragraph 3 of schedule 10 of VATA) has made, or
                  will prior to Closing, make any election under paragraph 2 of
                  schedule 10 of VATA in respect of the Calumet Coach Leased
                  Property and that the Calumet Coach Leased Property is not a
                  new or incomplete building or civil engineering work for the
                  purposes of item 1(a) of Group 1 of schedule 9 of VATA; and

                           (ii) neither the Calumet Coach Assets nor any part of
                  them is or will at Closing be a capital item for the purposes
                  of part XV of the VAT Regulations 1995 of England and Wales.

                                   ARTICLE III
                  PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE/ESCROW ARRANGEMENTS

         3.1 Purchase Price. (a) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section
3.2, the price for the Business and the Purchased Assets (the "Purchase Price")
shall be (1) $800,000 to be escrowed at the Closing pursuant to the Primary
Escrow Agreement (the "Primary Escrow Amount"), plus (2) $340,000 to be escrowed
at the Closing pursuant to Secondary Escrow Agreement (the "Secondary Escrow
Amount"), plus (3) $5,249,000 to be paid in cash pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(i)
below.

                  (b) The Purchase Price, without adjustment as provided in
Section 3.2, shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller at the Closing as follows:

                  (i) The full amount of the Purchase Price, except for the
                  Primary Escrow Amount and the Secondary Escrow Amount, shall
                  be paid by wire transfer to IBJ for the benefit of Seller
                  pursuant to written wire transfer instructions delivered by
                  Seller to Purchaser prior to the Closing.

                  (ii) At the Closing, Purchaser, Seller and the Escrow Agent
                  shall enter into the Primary Escrow Agreement in the form
                  attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Primary Escrow Agreement").
                  On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow
                  Agent the Primary Escrow Amount by wire transfer to an account
                  designated in writing by the Escrow Agent. The Primary Escrow
                  Amount shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms
                  of the Primary Escrow Agreement for satisfaction of (a) any
                  adjustment to the Purchase Price in favor of Purchaser
                  pursuant to Section 3.2, (b) any and all claims validly made
                  by Purchaser pursuant to Article IX on or prior to the
                  expiration of the Survival Period, whether or not finally
                  resolved upon expiration of the Survival Period, and (c) up to
                  $50,000 for fees due from Seller to the Independent
                  Accountant, if any, retained pursuant to Section 3.2(c) below
                  (the "Accounting Fee Escrow Amount"). The Primary Escrow
                  Agreement provides that the Accounting Fee Escrow Amount can
                  be paid only to the Independent Accountant and, when the final
                  fees of the Independent Accountant are known and satisfied, or
                  when the possibility of engaging the Independent Accountant no
                  longer exists, to Seller. Any other portion of the Primary
                  Escrow Amount that is not subject to any claims made pursuant
                  to Section 3.2 and that has not been distributed, or is not
                  being withheld, to satisfy any fees of the Escrow Agent and
                  any claims asserted (regardless of whether finally resolved)
                  pursuant to Article IX on or prior to the expiration of the
                  Survival Period shall be distributed by the Escrow Agent to
                  IBJ for the account of Seller. The fees of the Escrow Agent
                  shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller.

                  (iii) At the Closing, Purchaser, Seller and the Escrow Agent
                  shall enter into the Secondary Escrow Agreement in the form
                  attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Secondary Escrow
                  Agreement"). On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to
                  the Escrow Agent the Secondary Escrow Amount by wire transfer
                  to an account designated in writing by the Escrow Agent. The
                  Secondary Escrow Amount shall be held by the Escrow Agent
                  pursuant to the terms of the Secondary Escrow Agreement for
                  payment or reimbursement to Seller of amounts that Seller is
                  required to pay to, or on behalf of, Individual Indemnified
                  Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(c). The fees of the Escrow
                  Agent shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller. Any
                  Secondary Escrow Amount that has not been distributed, or is
                  not being withheld, to pay or reimburse claims asserted
                  pursuant to Section 9.2(c) (regardless of whether finally
                  resolved) on or prior to the expiration of the Survival Period
                  shall be distributed by the Escrow Agent to IBJ for the
                  account of Seller. The Secondary Escrow Agreement shall
                  provide that all interest that actually accrues on the
                  Secondary Escrow Amount shall be distributed to Purchaser
                  monthly by the Escrow Agent.

         3.2      Adjustment of Purchase Price.

                  (a) The Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as
follows: In the event that the Closing Value as shown on the Closing Balance
Sheet (A) is less than $5,089,000, the Purchase Price shall be reduced to equal
the Closing Value as shown on the Closing Balance Sheet plus $1,300,000 or (B)
is greater than $5,089,000, the Purchase Price shall be increased to equal the
Closing Value as shown on the Closing Balance Sheet plus $1,300,000.

                  (b) Seller shall prepare a balance sheet of Seller as of the
Closing Date (the "Closing Balance Sheet"), and shall deliver such Closing
Balance Sheet to Purchaser not later than forty-five (45) days after the
Closing. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be reviewed by Seller's auditors, Ernst
& Young LLP ("Seller's Accountant"), and prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Seller must deliver with the Closing Balance Sheet a review report by Seller's
Accountant which reflects no GAAP departures or qualifications other than, if
necessary, a going-concern qualification.

                  (c) The Closing Balance Sheet shall be conclusive and binding
upon the parties hereto unless Purchaser objects in writing to any item or items
shown on or omitted from the Closing Balance Sheet, or to any departure from
GAAP, within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of the Closing Balance
Sheet to Purchaser. If Purchaser shall have timely delivered to Seller a notice
disputing one or more such items, and if the parties hereto shall not then agree
within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such notice by Seller with
respect thereto, Purchaser shall engage the independent public accounting firm
of PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP (or, if such firm does not accept the engagement,
another of the five largest national firms of independent public accountants, to
be agreed upon by the parties hereto, other than Seller's Accountant) (the
"Independent Accountant") which shall conclusively determine such item or items.
The Independent Accountant, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, shall
determine all items in dispute and deliver its written report thereon to the
parties within ten (10) Business Days after such dispute is submitted to it, and
such written report shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. The fees
and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be shared equally by Purchaser
and Seller. The Escrow Agent shall be, and is hereby, authorized to pay up to
the full Accounting Fee Escrow Amount to satisfy the portion of the Independent
Accountant's fees and expenses borne by Seller.

                  (d) Within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Balance
Sheet becomes conclusive and binding upon the parties, or in the event of a
dispute with respect thereto, after such dispute is resolved by agreement or the
Independent Accountant pursuant to Section 3.2(c), the Escrow Agent shall pay to
Purchaser from the Primary Escrow Amount, or Purchaser shall pay to Seller, as
applicable, in cash, any net adjustment to the Purchase Price determined
pursuant to Section 3.2(a).

         3.3 Allocation of Purchase Price. Within twenty (20) days of the
Closing Date, the Purchase Price shall be allocated to the Purchased Assets by
Purchaser and Seller in a manner generally consistent with the relative values
of the Purchased Assets incorporated into the Closing Balance Sheet (except for
cash which shall be valued at its stated value) (the "Allocation"). Each of
Purchaser and Seller agrees (i) to file Internal Revenue Service Form 8594, and
all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns, in accordance with the
Allocation, (ii) to provide the other promptly with any other information
required to complete Form 8594 and with a copy of such form after it is filed
and (iii) not to take a position for financial reporting or tax purposes
(including before any Governmental Authority charged with the collection of any
tax, or in any judicial hearing) that is inconsistent with the Allocation.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

         Each Seller, jointly and severally, hereby represents and warrants to

organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation, and has all requisite corporate power and
authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business in the
manner now conducted and as proposed to be conducted. Seller is duly qualified
to transact business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in the
jurisdictions listed on Schedule 4.1. hereto, which are the only jurisdictions
in which the character of the property owned or the nature of the business
transacted by it makes such qualification necessary.

power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the documents and
instruments to be executed and delivered by it pursuant hereto and to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and delivery of

Seller pursuant hereto and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by the Board of
Directors and shareholders of Seller, do not require any further corporate
proceedings on the part of Seller, and do not and will not violate or conflict
with the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or other charter documents
applicable to Seller. This Agreement and the documents and instruments to be
executed and delivered by Seller pursuant hereto have been and will be duly and
validly executed and delivered by Seller and this Agreement and the documents
and instruments to be executed and delivered by it pursuant hereto constitute
valid and binding agreements of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance
with their terms, except to the extent to which such enforcement may be limited
by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now
or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights, and by general principles
of equity. Seller has provided to Purchaser prior to the Closing accurate and
complete copies of all of its books and records, minutes of meetings, consents,
resolutions and other documentation related to corporate governance. There are
no Material corporate actions that have been taken by Seller that are not
reflected in such documentation.

         4.3 Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Except as set forth on
Schedule 4.3 hereto, the execution and delivery by Seller of this Agreement and
the other documents and instruments to be executed and delivered by them
pursuant hereto, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, either individually or in the aggregate, will not (i) require any
consent, waiver, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or
notification to, any Governmental Authority, (ii) result in a violation or
breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a
default or give rise to any right of termination, amendment, acceleration,
cancellation, suspension, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal under, any of the
terms, conditions or provisions of any of the Material Contracts, Intangible
Rights, Permits, Warranties, or any other agreement, instrument or obligation by
which Seller or any of the Purchased Assets may be bound or affected or result
in the imposition of any Encumbrance on the Purchased Assets, or (iii) result in
a violation of any Law or any Order of any Governmental Authority by which
Seller or any of the Purchased Assets is bound.

         4.4 Ownership and Use of Purchased Assets. Seller has, and at the
Closing shall transfer to Purchaser, good and marketable title to all of the
Purchased Assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances, other than Permitted
Encumbrances. The Purchased Assets comprise all of the assets, rights and
properties (whether tangible or intangible, real, personal or mixed) necessary
for the conduct by Purchaser of the Business as a going concern in the manner in
which it is now and on the Closing Date shall be conducted by Seller.

         4.5 Intangible Rights. Attached hereto as Schedule 4.5 is a true and
complete list of all trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade
names, copyrights, patents and patent applications, including all Federal and
state registrations thereof, used or usable in connection with the Business and
which are owned by or licensed to Seller (with an indication as to whether
Seller is a licensor or licensee in respect thereof, if applicable). Except as
disclosed on Schedule 4.5 hereto, (i) Seller is the sole and exclusive owner or
licensee of the Intangible Rights and has the sole and exclusive right to use
the Intangible Rights in the same manner in which it has been or is now using
them, (ii) there are no claims, demands or proceedings pending or, to the best
knowledge of Seller (which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean the actual
knowledge of any officer of Seller, after due inquiry), threatened, that pertain
to or challenge the right of Seller to own or use the Intangible Rights, (iii)
Seller has not granted any licenses or other rights, and has no obligation to
grant any licenses or other rights, with respect to the Intangible Rights, (iv)
Seller has not sold, and has no obligation to sell, any of the Intangible Rights
or any other intangible property or rights previously owned by Seller, and (v)
to the best knowledge of Seller, the Intangible Rights are not being infringed
upon by any other person. Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.5 hereto, the
operation of the Business, and the use of any of the Intangible Rights in
connection with the Business, does not violate any license or agreement with any
third party or, to the best knowledge of Seller, infringe any rights of any
third party.

         4.6 Contracts. Schedule 4.6 lists each of the following Contracts of
Seller (such Contracts, together with any and all Property Leases described in
Schedule 4.10(b), as amended, being hereinafter referred to as "Material
Contracts"), true and complete copies or (with respect to oral Contracts only)

                           (i) all existing contracts for the purchase of raw

                  property with any supplier or manufacturer or for the
                  furnishing of services to Seller which involve an aggregate
                  payment or commitment per contract on the part of Seller of

                  involve an aggregate payment or commitment per contract on the
                  part of the counterparty or counterparties thereto of more
                  than $25,000 per year;

                  the part of the Company of more than $5,000 per year;

                           (iv) all indentures, mortgages, notes, loan or credit
                  agreements, assignments or rents and leases or other contracts
                  or obligations relating to the borrowing of money or to the
                  direct or indirect guaranty or assumption of obligations of
                  others, other than any of the foregoing which relate
                  exclusively to Excluded Liabilities;

                           (v) all contracts or agreements that limit the
                  ability of the Company to compete in any line of business or
                  with any person or entity in any geographic area or during any
                  period of time;

                           (vi)  all contracts or agreements with any supplier
                  or vendor that provide for favorable pricing, discounts,
                  rebates or other terms of sale;

                           (vii) all contracts or agreements with any party that
                  create or purport to create any lien, claim or encumbrance of
                  any nature on any Purchased Asset; and

                           (viii) all other contracts (excluding Property Leases
                  listed in Schedule 4.10(b)) to which Seller is a party that
                  contain material contingent payment obligations from or to
                  Seller or that are made other than in the ordinary course of
                  business, other than any of the foregoing which relate
                  exclusively to Excluded Liabilities.

         Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.6, each of the Material Contracts (i)
is transferable to Purchaser without the consent, waiver or approval of, or
notice to, the counterparty thereto, (ii) is in full force and effect, has not
been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended, and constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter
thereof, and (iii) neither Seller nor the counterparty to any Material Contract
is in default thereunder, nor, to the best knowledge of Seller, is there any
fact or state of facts with respect to any Material Contract which upon notice,
passage of time, or both, would give rise to a default thereunder.

         4.7 Equipment. Schedule 4.7 hereto contains lists of those items which
have been capitalized and for which depreciation was reflected in the Statement
of Income included in the Interim Financial Statements. Schedule 4.7 also sets
forth (i) the asset acquisition cost and accumulated depreciation for Equipment
used in Calumet City and Camberley operations and (ii) the beginning asset
values for the period ended June 30, 2000 and the monthly depreciation amounts
for Equipment used in Florida operations. Each item of Equipment listed is in a
state of working order and repair sufficient for the conduct of normal
operations of the Business without the necessity of any known capital
expenditure in excess of $1,000.

         4.8 Inventory. Schedule 4.8 sets forth each item of Inventory which has
either an original cost to Seller or a carrying value, as each is reflected on
Schedule 4.8, in excess of $1,000. The Inventory shown on the Interim Balance
Sheet and any additional Inventory which is or will be subsequently recorded on
the books of Seller prior to the Closing Date consists of and will consist of
raw materials, work in process, and finished goods, of a quality usable or
salable in the normal course of the Business, except for any which has been
written off or written down to realizable value. The valuation at which the
Inventory is carried reflects Seller's normal inventory valuation policy of
stating inventory at the lower of cost (first-in-first-out-method) or market and
its regular costing standards with respect to work in process and finished goods
inventory. Seller has made available to Purchaser prior to the Closing all
purchase orders or sales contracts between Seller and any of its customers,
including for each a detail of all deposits and payments related to such order
or contract, and any rebates, discounts or other material terms or conditions
not clearly reflected in such order or contract.

         4.9 Accounts Receivable; Prepaid Expenses. Schedule 4.9 sets forth each
account receivable in excess of $500, including amounts and the dates on which

                  complete copy of each lease or sublease of Leased Real
                  Property pursuant to which Seller is a lessee or lessor (the
                  "Property Leases"), and has described each Property Lease on
                  Schedule 4.10(b) by listing the name of the lessor and lessee,
                  address of the Leased Real Property, the term of the lease and

                  fact or state of facts with respect to any Property Lease
                  which, upon notice, passage of time, or both, would give rise

Property.

existing public roads and/or highways adjoining or situated on the Real
Property.

Property is free and clear of all mechanic's liens, liens, mortgages, or
encumbrances of any nature except for the Permitted Encumbrances and no work has
been performed or is in progress by Seller, and no materials have been furnished

mechanic's, materialman's, or lien against the Owned Real Property or Seller's
interest therein, or any portion thereof. Except as set forth on the title
insurance commitment provided to Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.1(l), Seller
has no knowledge of any title defect to the Owned Real Property. There is no

                  competent authority, would constitute a breach of any other
                  warranty hereunder.

                  (o) Outgoings. The Calumet Coach Leased Property is not
subject to the payment of any outgoings other than the uniform business rate or

in full force and effect. Seller has not received notice of any default,
cancellation or nonrenewal under any such Insurance Policy, nor of any
misrepresentation or inaccuracy in any application therefor, which default,
misrepresentation or inaccuracy would give the insurer the right to terminate
such Insurance Policy or to refuse to pay a claim thereunder. Except for claims
set forth on Schedule 4.23, as of the date hereof there is no outstanding unpaid
claim or claims against Seller under the Insurance Policies relating to the
Business or the Purchased Assets. Schedule 4.23 sets forth all claims related to
the Business or the Purchased Assets and made by any Seller under any insurance
policy during the three (3) years preceding the Closing Date.

         4.24 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.24 hereto there is
no action, suit, arbitration, or other legal or administrative proceeding or
investigation before any Governmental Authority pending or, to the to the best
knowledge of Seller, threatened against or otherwise affecting Seller, the
Business, or the Purchased Assets. To the best knowledge of Seller, there is no
fact or state of facts which might result in, nor is there any basis for, any
such action, suit, arbitration, or other proceeding or investigation. Except as
set forth in Schedule 4.24 hereto, Seller is not a party to, nor is the Business
or the Purchased Assets subject to, any Order of any Governmental Authority.
Except as set forth on Schedule 4.24 hereto, other than any of the following in
connection with Excluded Liabilities, there is no action, suit, arbitration, or
other proceeding by Seller currently pending or that Seller currently intends to
initiate. Schedule 4.24 sets forth all legal proceedings in which any Seller has
been a party within the three (3) years preceding the Closing Date, together
with a reasonably detailed description of the current status of each legal
proceeding. Purchaser has been provided on or prior to the Closing Date true and
complete copies of all complaints, pleadings and filings related to all
currently pending legal proceedings, in each case as amended.

         4.25 Customers. Attached hereto as Schedule 4.25 is a true and complete
list of Seller's customers for the calendar year ended December 31, 2000. None
of the customers listed on Schedule 4.25 have indicated to Seller that it does

                    CONDUCT AND TRANSACTIONS PRIOR TO CLOSING

         6.1 Conduct of Business. From the date hereof until the Closing, Seller

in the ordinary course of business, shall maintain Seller's current business
organization and goodwill, shall use its best efforts to continue to retain the
services of its present officers, employees and consultants, shall preserve its
relationship with customers, suppliers and others having business dealings with

Seller shall not make, permit or suffer to occur, or enter into any contract,
agreement or commitment with respect to, or propose or authorize, any of the
changes or events described in clauses (a) through (p) of Section 4.15.

         6.3 Employees. (a) From the date hereof until the Closing, Seller shall
use its best efforts to keep available for employment by Purchaser the Employees
of Seller, without making any increase after the date hereof in the
compensation, current or deferred, payable to such employees, without the prior
written consent of Purchaser in each instance. Seller will cooperate fully with
Purchaser so that Purchaser may hire all of such employees. Seller further
agrees that it will not, from the date hereof until the Closing, hire, increase
the compensation of, award or pay any bonus to, or enter into, amend or
terminate any oral or written employment arrangement or agreement (including any
equity incentive arrangement) with, any director, officer, employee, agent or

                  (b) As of the time immediately following the Closing (and
without limiting Purchaser's rights described in the proviso below) Purchaser
agrees to assume the employment agreements set forth on Schedule 4.17 and the
employment of all of the Employees, with reasonable compensation and benefit
plans, programs and policies and fringe benefits consistent with Purchaser's
policies as in effect on the Closing Date; provided, however, that nothing
contained herein shall preclude Purchaser from, any time after the Closing Date,
terminating or otherwise changing the terms of employment of any Employee or any
such compensation and benefit plans, programs, policies or fringe benefits, in
its sole discretion. To the extent practicable, each Employee shall be given
credit for all service with the Company under all employee benefit plans,
programs and policies and fringe benefits of Purchaser in which he or she
becomes a participant for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual;
but, the foregoing shall not apply to any equity or stock based incentive plans
or programs, and furthermore shall be limited in application to the extent
consistent with Purchaser's existing benefit plans, programs, policies, and
practices concerning eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual, taking into
account the original date of hire by Seller of the employee.

                  (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained,
no Employee or former Employee is or shall be construed as a third party
beneficiary under this Section 6.3 or any other provision of this Agreement, the

(Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981 of the United Kingdom (as amended)

as such contracts relate to any occupational pension scheme) shall transfer to
Purchaser with effect from Closing pursuant to the Transfer Regulations.

                  (ii) Subject to the provisions of Article IX, Calumet Coach
         shall indemnify Purchaser and keep Purchaser indemnified from and
         against all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, damages,

         liabilities whatsoever arising out of or connected with any claim or
         other legal recourse by:

                  (A) any of the Calumet Coach Employees which relates to or
                  arises from any actual or alleged act or omission of Calumet
                  Coach (or any other event or occurrence) on or prior to
                  Closing;

                  (B) any trade union or staff association recognized by Calumet
                  Coach in respect of any of the Calumet Coach Employees and/or
                  any representative elected by any of the Calumet Coach
                  Employees which relates to or arises from any actual or
                  alleged act or omission of Calumet Coach (or any other event
                  or occurrence) on or prior to Closing.

                  (iii) The parties intend that the Transfer Regulations shall
         apply only to the Calumet Coach Employees and accordingly, subject to
         the provisions of Article IX, Calumet Coach undertakes to indemnify
         Purchaser and keep Purchaser indemnified from and against all claims,
         demands, actions, proceedings, damages, compensation, tribunal awards,
         fines, costs, expenses and all other liabilities whatsoever arising
         under or in relation to:

                  (A)      any contract of employment (including,  without
                  prejudice to the generality of the foregoing the termination
                  thereof) with, or

                  (B)      any duty or liability of Calumet Coach in relation
                  to any matter whatsoever (whether arising on, before or after

         any former or future employee of Calumet Coach who is not a Calumet
Coach Employee at the time of Closing.

         6.4 Assignment of Contracts. (a) Seller will use its best efforts, and
Purchaser will cooperate with Seller, to obtain all approvals, consents or
waivers necessary to assign to Purchaser all of the Contracts (including
Property Leases) or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting
therefrom as soon as possible; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be
obligated to pay any consideration to the party or entity from whom such
approval, consent or waiver is requested.

                  (b) To the extent any of the foregoing approvals, consents or
waivers in respect of any Contracts have not been obtained by Seller as of the
Closing Date, and without limiting the rights of Purchaser under this Agreement,
Seller covenants and agrees that the beneficial interest in and to any such
Contract shall, to the extent permitted by the relevant Contract and/or by
applicable Law, pass to Purchaser, and Seller covenants and agrees: (i) that it
will hold and declare that it holds all such Contracts in trust for the benefit
of Purchaser, its successors and assigns, from and after the Closing Date; (ii)
to use its best efforts to obtain and secure any and all consents and approvals
that may be necessary to effect such assignment or assignments of the same;
(iii) to make or complete such assignment or assignments as soon as reasonably
possible; (iv) to cooperate with Purchaser in any other reasonable arrangement
designed to enable Seller to fulfill any such Contract until an effective

parties, to assure that Purchaser shall receive all of such benefits, rights,
obligations and duties under such Contracts; and (v) to enforce, at the request
of Purchaser and at the expense and for the account of Purchaser, any rights,
claims or benefits of Seller arising in respect of such Contract against any
party or entity (including the right to elect to terminate any such right, claim
or benefit in accordance with the terms thereof upon the written notice of
Purchaser). The provisions of this Section 6.4(b) do not constitute a waiver of
the conditions to Closing contained in Section 8.1 hereof.

are transferable; (ii) use its best efforts to obtain all approvals, consents or

advisors access during normal business hours on prior notice to Seller's chief
executive officer to Seller's premises and operations, to its directors,
officers, employees, consultants, advisors and agents, and to its books, files
and records (whether in paper or electronic format), in order that Purchaser may
have full opportunity to make such investigation as it shall desire with respect
to the condition of the Business and Purchased Assets, and Seller shall
cooperate fully and promptly with Purchaser in such regard. No such
investigation, however, shall constitute a waiver or relinquishment by Purchaser
of its right to rely upon the representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements of Seller as made herein or pursuant hereto.

         6.7 Additional Agreements. Subject to the terms and conditions herein
provided, each of the parties hereto agrees to use its best efforts to take

hereunder unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages exceeds $25,000 (the
"Minimum Amount"); provided, however, that at such time as the aggregate amount
of the Damages exceeds the Minimum Amount, Purchaser may assert a claim for the
full amount of such Damages.

                  (c) Seller shall indemnify the present and former officers,
directors, employees, stockholders (including, in the case of stockholder Kulen
Capital, L.P., the partners and affiliates thereof), agents and representatives
of Seller and their successors, heirs and personal representatives, other than
J. Daniel Snyder ("Snyder") and Arch Weil ("Weil") (collectively, the
"Individual Indemnified Parties") against, and hold them harmless from, only the
following: (i) any and all Damages incurred or suffered by any Individual
Indemnified Party arising out of or relating to the actions, proceedings or
claims which Snyder or Weil (or any other executive or stockholder acting at
their instigation) has asserted or may hereafter assert on the basis of matters
occurring on or prior to the Closing Date (collectively, the "Snyder
Litigation"), including, without limitation, the currently pending actions
titled Snyder v. de Havenon (Circuit Court, Cook County, Illinois), Weil v. de
Havenon (Circuit Court, Cook County, Illinois), Snyder v. Calumet Coach Co.
(State of Illinois, Department of Labor), and Calumet Acquisition Corp. v. J.
Daniel Snyder (American Arbitration Association), (ii) if Purchaser is no longer
obligated (and cannot become obligated) in any manner under Section 9.3(d)
(giving effect to Mitigating Reimbursements), any and all Damages incurred or
suffered by any Named Indemnified Party arising out of or relating to any
actions taken or permitted to be taken by such Named Indemnified Party on or
prior to the Closing Date in the capacity as an officer, director, employee,
stockholder, agent or representative of Seller and (iii) any Damages incurred or
suffered by any Named Indemnified Party for which (A) the Named Indemnified
Party is entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3(d), (B)
Purchaser is obligated (subject to the stated limitations) to provide
indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3(d), and (C) Purchaser refuses or fails
to provide indemnification in breach of the terms of Section 9.3(d).

                  (d) The indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(c) shall not
be subject to the Minimum Amount.

                  (e) Any and all liability of Seller under this Agreement,
including without limitation this Article IX, shall be satisfied exclusively
from the Primary Escrow Amount or the Secondary Escrow Amount, and none of the
Purchaser Indemnified Parties, the Named Indemnified Parties or the Individual
Indemnified Parties shall have any right to assert a claim against Seller for
any Damages, except to the extent payment or reimbursement of such Damages out
of the Primary or Secondary Escrow Amount is permitted hereunder and under the
respective Escrow Agreement; and, accordingly, that the maximum aggregate amount
of the liability of Seller pursuant to Section 9.2(a) shall be the amount of the
Primary Escrow Amount less the Accounting Fee Escrow Amount ($750,000), minus
any adjustment to the Purchase Price in favor of Purchaser pursuant to Section
3.2, and the maximum aggregate amount of the liability of Seller pursuant to
Section 9.2(c) shall be the amount of the Secondary Escrow Amount ($340,000),
minus any Mitigating Reimbursements.

                  Seller expressly acknowledges that it is not (except through
Mitigating Reimbursements) entitled to seek payment or reimbursement from the
Secondary Escrow Amount for amounts paid in respect of Non-Reimbursable Damages;
provided that Seller is entitled to seek reimbursement of Non-Reimbursable
Damages if as a condition to the payment of such reimbursement (a "Mitigating
Reimbursement"), the maximum indemnification obligation of Purchaser pursuant to
Section 9.3(d) is reduced, dollar for dollar by such reimbursement, or is
already zero. Seller further acknowledges that neither Purchaser nor the Escrow
Agent shall have any obligation or responsibility to ensure that the Secondary
Escrow Amount is distributed or allocated evenly (or in any manner other than on
a first come first serve basis) among the Individual Indemnified Parties.

         9.3      Indemnification by Purchaser.

                  (a) Purchaser shall indemnify Seller and its Affiliates,
partners, principals, officers, directors, employees, independent contractors,
agents and representatives, in their capacities as such, and the successors,
heirs and personal representatives of any of them (collectively, the "Seller
Indemnified Parties") against and hold them harmless from any and all Damages
incurred or suffered by any Seller Indemnified Party arising out of or relating
to (i) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement
of Purchaser contained herein, (ii) the ownership of the Business or Purchased
Assets on or after the Closing and (iii) the Assumed Liabilities.

                  (b) No claim for indemnification shall be made by Seller
hereunder unless and until any or all Damages exceeds the Minimum Amount;
provided, however, that at such time as the aggregate amount of the Damages
exceeds the Minimum Amount, Seller may assert a claim for the full amount of
such Damages.

                  (c) The maximum aggregate amount of the liability of Purchaser
pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall be $750,000.

                  (d) Purchaser shall indemnify Keith F. Moore, Blake A. Bonyko,
Frederick J.C. Butler, Butler, Chapman & Co.LLC, Michael H. de Havenon, and
Robert S. Everett (the "Named Indemnified Parties"), and hold them harmless
from, only the following:  (i) any and all Damages arising out of or relating to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken on or prior to the Closing Date in the
capacity as an officer, director, employee, stockholder, agent or representative
of Seller, and (ii) if the entire Secondary Escrow Amount has been disbursed by
the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Secondary Escrow Agreement, any and all Damages
incurred or suffered by a Named Indemnified Party arising out of or relating to
the Snyder Litigation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum aggregate
amount of the liability of Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.3(d) cannot
exceed $200,000 minus all Mitigating Reimbursements.

                  (e) The indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3(d) shall not
be subject to the Minimum Amount. However, except with respect to the last
claim, if any, for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3(d), Purchaser is only
obligated to make disbursements pursuant to Section 9.3(d) when the total of
unpaid claims from time to time exceeds $1,000.

         9.4 Indemnification; Notice and Settlements. A party seeking
indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.2 or 9.3 (an "Indemnified Party") with
respect to a claim, action or proceeding by a person who is not a Purchaser
Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice
to the party from whom such indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party")
of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any action or proceeding,
in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder; provided that the failure
to give such notice shall not affect the Indemnified Party's rights to
indemnification hereunder, unless such failure shall prejudice in any material
respect the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such claim, action or
proceeding. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of
any such action or proceeding at its expense, with counsel approved by the
Indemnified Party (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) so long as
(a) the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its responsibility to indemnify the
Indemnified Party with respect to such claim, action or proceeding, (b) such
claim, action or proceeding involves only money damages and does not seek an
injunction or other equitable relief, and (c) the Indemnifying Party conducts
the defense of such claim, action or proceeding actively and diligently. If the
Indemnifying Party shall elect not to assume the defense of any such action or
proceeding, or fails to make such an election within 20 days after it receives
such notice pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 9.4, or if the
Indemnifying Party shall fail to continue to assume the defense of such claim,
action or proceeding in accordance with this section, the Indemnified Party may
assume such defense at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and shall have the
right to compromise or settle such claim, action or proceeding at the expense of
the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to
participate in (but not control) the defense of an action or proceeding defended
by the Indemnifying Party hereunder and to retain its own counsel in connection
with such action or proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall
be at the Indemnified Party's expense unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party have mutually agreed in writing to the retention of such
counsel (and, with respect to the Named Indemnified Parties' and the Individual
Indemnified Parties' counsel in the Snyder Litigation, the parties hereby agree
that the foregoing Indemnified Parties may select counsel of their own choosing)
or (ii) the named parties in any such action or proceeding (including impleaded
parties) include the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, and
representation of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same
counsel would create a conflict (in which case, unless otherwise agreed by the
Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not be permitted to assume the
defense of such claim, action or proceeding); provided that, unless otherwise
agreed by the Indemnifying Party, if the Indemnifying Party is obligated to pay
the fees and expenses of such counsel, the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated
to pay only the fees and expenses associated with one attorney or law firm (plus
local counsel as required), as applicable, for the Indemnified Party. So long as
the Indemnifying Party has continued to assume the defense of a claim, action or
proceeding in accordance with this Section 9.4, an Indemnifying Party shall not
be liable under Section 9.2 or 9.3 for any settlement effected without its
written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, of any claim,
action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder
(except that the Snyder Litigation may be settled for an amount equal to the
then remaining amount of the Secondary Escrow Amount without consent or
approval).

         9.5 Sole Remedy. An indemnified party's rights to indemnification under
this Article IX are the exclusive remedy of such party with respect to any claim
whatsoever which such party may have against another party hereto arising out of
or relating to this Agreement (or the breach thereof).

                                    ARTICLE X
                              ACTIONS AFTER CLOSING

         10.1 Access to Books and Records. From and after the Closing Date,
Purchaser shall maintain such books and records of the Business as have been
delivered to it by Seller for a period of seven (7) years and shall provide
Seller and its representatives reasonable access thereto in order to enable
Seller to (a) prepare its financial statements, (b) prepare its tax returns, (c)
respond to tax audits, claims and assessments and (d) perform any other acts
reasonably related to Seller's former interest in the Business.

         10.2 Further Assurances. Whenever and so often as requested by
Purchaser, Seller will promptly execute and deliver or cause to be executed and
delivered all such other and further instruments, documents or assurances, and
promptly do or cause to be done all such other and further things, as may be
necessary and reasonably required in order to further and more fully vest in
Purchaser all rights, interests, powers, benefits, privileges and advantages
conferred or intended to be conferred by this Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to (a) deliver at the Closing an
account summary dated within two days of the Closing for each deposit account
maintained by Seller, together with a cashier's check (or form of payment
satisfactory to Purchaser) transferring to Purchaser all cash on hand in
Seller's deposit accounts, (b) close all deposit accounts of Calumet Coach
within two (2) business days following the Closing and (c) hold in trust for
Purchaser and promptly remit to Purchaser any payments that Seller receives in
respect of the Purchased Assets, or in respect of the Business conducted with
the Purchased Assets following the Closing..

         10.3 Mail Received After Closing. From and after the Closing, Purchaser
may receive and open all mail addressed to Seller and deal with the contents
thereof in its sole discretion to the extent that such mail or the contents
thereof relate to the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                            TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

         11.1 Events of Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated, and the
              ---------------------
transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned, at any time prior to Closing:

                  (i)      by the mutual consent of Purchaser and Seller;

                  (ii) by Purchaser, if Seller breaches in any Material respect
         any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
         contained in this Agreement and such breach is not cured within thirty
         (30) days after written notice thereof;

                  (iii) by Seller, if Purchaser breaches in any Material respect
         any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
         contained in this Agreement and such breach is not cured within thirty
         (30) days after written notice thereof; or

                  (iv) by either Purchaser or Seller, if (A) any of the
         conditions to such party's obligations to consummate the transactions
         hereunder is not fulfilled (or waived in writing by the party for whose
         benefit the conditions exist) on or prior to the date scheduled for the
         Closing; or (B) the Closing has not occurred on or prior to May 15,
         2001; provided, however, that a party may not terminate pursuant to
         this clause B if its breach has been the cause of such failure to
         close.

         11.2 Effect of Termination. In the event that either party shall elect
to terminate this Agreement pursuant to any provision contained herein expressly
giving such party the right to terminate this Agreement, this Agreement shall
forthwith terminate and have no further effect, and no party shall have any
further obligation or liability (except with respect to those provisions hereof
which expressly survive any termination of this Agreement).

                                   ARTICLE XII
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         12.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Schedules and
Exhibits hereto, the documents and instruments to be executed and delivered
pursuant hereto and the confidentiality agreement between the parties constitute
the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof, supercede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties with
respect thereto, and no party shall be liable or bound to any other party in any
manner by any promises, conditions, warranties, representations, or covenants
except as specifically set forth herein or therein.

         12.2 Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and
assigns of the parties; provided, however, that no party may assign this
Agreement without prior written consent of the other. Nothing in this Agreement,
express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties
hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies,
obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as
expressly provided in this Agreement.

         12.3 Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
              -------------
in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, excluding its conflicts of
law principles.

         12.4 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held
to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from
this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such
provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its
terms.

         12.5 Waiver of Compliance. Without limiting Purchaser's right to
indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a) for Damages incurred as a result of
third party claims, suits or proceedings, Purchaser agrees that Seller's
non-compliance with any applicable bulk transfer provisions of the Uniform
Commercial Code will not be deemed a breach or default under any representation
or warranty by Seller made under or in connection with this Agreement.

         12.6 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified, nor
may any term or provision hereof be waived or discharged, except by an
instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such
modification, waiver or discharge is sought. No such waiver or discharge shall
be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver or discharge with respect to any
other terms or provisions of this Agreement, whether or not similar. Each such
waiver or discharge shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
purpose for which it was given, and shall not constitute a continuing waiver or
discharge.

         12.7 Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby shall be settled by
arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance
with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the
arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Within 15
business days after the commencement of arbitration, each party shall select one
person to act as arbitrator and the two selected shall select a third arbitrator
within 10 business days of their appointment. If the arbitrators selected by the
parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third
arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association. The
parties expressly agree to waive all rights of appeals relating to the award of
the arbitrators, which award shall be the sole and exclusive remedy regarding
any and all claims and counterclaims with respect to the subject matter of the
arbitrated dispute. The place of arbitration shall be Austin, Texas.

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

         12.9 Captions. The table of contents, headings and captions used in
this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in

         12.10 Certain References. The term "herein," "hereof" "hereunder" or
