                        PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS

        2.1    Assets to be Purchased.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on the
Closing Date and as of the Effective Time, Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, free and clear of all
Liens, all right, title and interest of Seller to and in all of the Purchased Assets.

        2.2    Assumed Liabilities.

                (a)     Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on the Closing Date and as
of the Effective Time, Buyer agrees to assume only the Assumed Liabilities.

                (b)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the assignment or transfer of any
obligation or instrument would cause a breach thereof and if a required consent to such assignment
or transfer has not been obtained, then, at Buyer's election and in its sole  discretion, and
subject to Buyer's right to require strict compliance with Section 8.10 hereof, such obligation
or instrument shall not be assigned or transferred to Buyer, but Buyer shall act as agent for
Seller in order to obtain for Buyer the benefits under such obligation or instrument.

                (c)     EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 2.2,
NEITHER BUYER NOR ANY AFFILIATE OF BUYER ASSUMES OR AGREES TO BECOME LIABLE FOR OR SUCCESSOR
TO ANY LIABILITIES OR OBLIGATIONS WHATSOEVER, LIQUIDATED OR UNLIQUIDATED, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN,
CONTINGENT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER OF SELLER, ANY AFFILIATE OF SELLER, ANY PREDECESSOR THEREOF,
OR ANY OTHER PERSON, OR OF THE BUSINESS.  NO OTHER STATEMENT IN OR PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT
AND NO OTHER STATEMENT, WRITTEN OR ORAL, ACTION OR FAILURE TO ACT INCLUDES OR CONSTITUTES ANY
SUCH ASSUMPTION OR AGREEMENT, AND ANY STATEMENT TO THE CONTRARY BY ANY PERSON IS UNAUTHORIZED
AND HEREBY DISCLAIMED.

        2.3    Consideration.  The consideration for the Purchased Assets shall be the
aggregate of (a) the Final Payment, (b) the OSI Stock, (c) the Promissory Note, (d) the
Earn-Out Payment, if any, provided for in Section 2.10, and (e) the amount of the Assumed
Liabilities.

        2.4    Post-Closing Adjustments to the Initial Payment.

                (a)     To the extent the Net Worth is greater than $1,125,000 (the "Net
Worth Target"), the Initial Payment shall (on a post-closing basis pursuant to Section 2.4(b))
be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to such excess.  To the extent
the Net Worth is less than the Net Worth Target, the Initial Payment shall (on a post-closing
basis pursuant to Section 2.4(b)) be decreased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal
to such deficit.  The Initial Payment as so adjusted is hereinafter referred to as the "Final
Payment."  The Net Worth and the Final Payment shall be determined based on the Closing
Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement (as finally determined under Section 2.9).

                (b)     Not more than 5 business days after final determination of the Final
Payment, (i) Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount, if any, by which the Final Payment exceeds
the Initial Payment or (ii) Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount, if any, by which the Final
Payment is less than the Initial Payment.  Any payment or distribution from Buyer or Seller
so required to be made shall be by wire transfer of immediately available funds and shall bear
interest from the Closing Date through the date of payment at the prime lending rate of Bank of
America from time to time prevailing.

        2.5    Allocation of Consideration.  The consideration provided for in Section
2.3 shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and Covenant Not to
Compete as provided in Schedule 2.5 hereto, or as mutually agreed to in writing by the
Parties after the determination of the Final Payment.  Such allocation shall be prepared in
accordance with Section 1060 of the Code.

        2.6    Closing.  The Closing shall take place at 10:00 a.m. on the Closing Date
or such other time as the Parties agree at the offices of Bryan Cave LLP, 211 N. Broadway, One
Metropolitan Square, Suite 3600, St. Louis, Missouri 63102.

        2.7    Deliveries of Seller at the Closing.  At the Closing, subject to the
conditions to Seller's obligations in Article IX, Seller shall execute and deliver or cause
to be delivered the documents identified in Article VIII.

        2.8    Deliveries of Buyer at the Closing.  At the Closing, subject to the conditions
to the Buyer's obligations in Article VIII, Buyer shall (a) execute and deliver or cause to
be delivered the documents identified in Article IX, (b) transfer the Initial Payment by
wire transfer of immediately-available funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller
not less than two business days before the Closing Date, (c) deliver certificates evidencing
the OSI Stock to Seller and/or Shareholder, as an assignee of Seller, and (d) execute and
deliver the Promissory Note.

        2.9    The Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement.

                (a)     As of the Closing Date, Buyer shall conduct an audit and examination
of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities (the "Closing Audit") at Buyer's sole cost and
expense. Seller, at its sole cost and expense, may have a representative review all final work
papers in connection with the Closing Audit.  On the basis of such Closing Audit, Buyer shall
prepare a balance sheet as of the Closing Date (the "Closing Balance Sheet") and a statement
of net assets as of the Closing Date (the "Closing Statement"), reflecting the book value,
as of the Closing Date, of the Purchased Assets less the Assumed Liabilities, in accordance
with the principles and procedures as outlined on Schedule 2.9(a) applied consistently with
the accounting policies and procedures followed in preparing the Financial Statements.  The
Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement are herein referred to as the "Closing
Financial Statements."  Buyer shall deliver the Closing Financial Statements to Seller not
later than 60 calendar days after the Closing Date.

                (b)     If Seller disputes the Closing Financial Statements as delivered by
Buyer, then not more than 20 calendar days after the date Seller receives the Closing Financial
Statements (the "Dispute Period") Seller shall provide Buyer a Notice of Dispute.  If during the
Dispute Period Seller fails to deliver a Notice of Dispute, the Closing Financial Statements
shall be deemed final and binding at the end of the Dispute Period.

        (c)     Upon receipt of the Notice of Dispute within the Dispute Period, Buyer shall
promptly consult with Seller with respect to Seller's specified points of disagreement in an
effort to resolve the dispute.  If any such dispute cannot be resolved by Buyer and Seller
within 20 calendar days after Buyer receives the Notice of Dispute, they shall refer the dispute
to a partner in Ernst & Young, LLP certified public accountants (the "Arbiter"), as an
arbitrator to finally determine, as soon as practicable, and in any event within 30 calendar
days after such reference, all points of disagreement with respect to the Closing Financial
Statements.  For purposes of such arbitration, each Party shall submit proposed Closing
Financial Statements; Buyer's proposals need not be identical to the Closing Financial
Statements delivered pursuant to Section 2.9(a).  The Arbiter shall apply the terms of this
Section 2.9, and shall otherwise conduct the arbitration under such procedures as the
Parties may agree or, failing such agreement, under the AAA Rules.  The fees and expenses of
the arbitration and the Arbiter incurred in connection with the arbitration of the Closing
Financial Statements shall be allocated, to the extent practical, between the Parties by the
Arbiter in proportion to the extent either Party did not prevail on items in dispute in the
Closing Financial Statements; provided, that such fees and expenses shall not include, so
long as a Party complies with the procedures of this Section 2.9, the other Party's outside
counsel or accounting fees.  All determinations by the Arbiter shall be final, conclusive
and binding with respect to the Closing Financial Statements and the allocation of
arbitration fees and expenses.

        2.10   Earn-Out Payment.

               (a)    If Buyer achieves average Earnings before interest expense, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, each item determined in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied ("EBITDA"), in excess of $6,500,000 (the "Baseline EBITDA") for the three full
fiscal years beginning January 1, 2001 and ending December 31, 2003 (the "Payment Period"),
Buyer will pay Seller in cash an amount equal to two times the amount by which the average
EBITDA for the Payment Period exceeds the Baseline EBITDA (the "Earn-Out Payment").  EBITDA
shall be determined for purposes of this Agreement with the earn-out principles and
procedures set forth on Schedule 2.10(a).  The Parties agree and acknowledge that as of the
date of this Agreement and until the end of the Payment Period, it is impossible to
calculate the value, if any, of the Earn-Out Payment to Seller.

                (b)    To the extent OSI determines an Earn-Out Payment is due to Seller,
Buyer will pay (and OSI will cause Buyer to pay) to Seller a preliminary payment of such
Earn-Out Payment due pursuant to Section 2.10(a) on the date Buyer submits its preliminary
determination to Seller pursuant to Section 2.10(c).  Buyer shall pay any additional
payments required pursuant to Section 2.10(a) promptly following the final and binding
determination, pursuant to this Agreement, of the Earn-Out Payment for the Payment Period.
To the extent the amount of the Earn-Out Payment is less than the preliminary payment
previously paid for the Payment Period, Seller shall refund the amount in excess to Buyer
promptly following the final and binding determination, pursuant to this Agreement, of the
Earn-Out Payment.

               (c)    The determination of the amount of the Earn-Out Payment shall be
determined by OSI promptly after the completion of the Payment Period based on an audit and
examination of the financial statements of Buyer for the Payment Period ("Post-Closing
Audit").  The Post-Closing Audit shall be conducted at OSI's sole cost and expense.  The
determination of the amount of the Earn-Out Payment (or of the determination that no
Earn-Out Payment is due) shall be submitted to Seller within 90 calendar days after the end
of the Payment Period.  After such submission and upon request of Seller, OSI will provide
Seller with reasonable access to its records relating to the determination of the amount of
the Earn-Out Payment.  If Seller does not object to the determination by OSI of the Earn-Out
Payment by written notice of objection (the "Notice of Objection") delivered to OSI within
20 calendar days after receipt by Seller of such determination, the proposed Earn-Out
Payment shall be deemed final and binding.  If Seller delivers a Notice of Objection to the
determination of the Earn-Out Payment within the appropriate time period, such Notice of
Objection to describe in reasonable detail Seller's proposed adjustments to the proposed
determination of the Earn-Out Payment, Seller and OSI shall negotiate in good faith to
resolve any differences.  If after 15 calendar days following such notice any of such
objections have not been resolved (the "Disputed Matters"), then such Disputed Matters shall
be submitted to arbitration in Atlanta, Georgia.  The Arbiter (as defined in Section 2.9)
shall consider only the Disputed Matters, and the arbitration shall be conducted in
accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in
effect.  The Arbiter shall act promptly to resolve all Disputed Matters and its decision
with respect to all Disputed Matters shall be final and binding upon the Parties hereto and
shall not be appealable to any court.  The Arbiter shall render an opinion in writing
setting forth the basis of its decision on the Disputed Matters.  Each Party shall pay all
costs and expenses incurred by such Party incident to the arbitration, provided the costs
and expenses of the Arbiter shall be shared equally by Seller and OSI.  Any portion of the
Earn-Out Payment that is affected by the Disputed Matter shall not be distributed until the
resolution of the Disputed Matter, and upon such resolution any increase in the Earn-Out
Payment shall be distributed to Seller, or any decrease in the Earn-Out Payment shall be
repaid to OSI by Seller.

                          COVENANTS CONCERNING SELLER

        Seller covenants and agrees with Buyer that, from and after the date of this
Agreement and until the Closing Date, Seller will conduct the Business subject to the
following provisions and limitations:

        5.1    Operation of the Business.  Without the prior written consent of Buyer, Seller

                (a)     Grant any increase in the rate of pay of any of its employees, grant
any increase in the salaries of any officer, employee or agent, enter into or increase the

                (d)     Sell or dispose of or encumber any Assets.
                (e)     Make, or enter into any Contract for, any capital expenditure or enter

                (f)     Enter into any Contract, whether for the purchase or sale of inventory,
supplies, other products or services or otherwise other than in the Ordinary Course.

                (g)     Create, assume, incur or guarantee any indebtedness other than (i) in
the usual and Ordinary Course of the Business and with a maturity date of less than one year or
(ii) that incurred pursuant to existing Contracts disclosed in the Schedules delivered pursuant
to this Agreement.

                (h)     Make or institute any unusual method of transacting business or change

                (j)     Perform any act, or attempt to do any act, or permit any act or omission

        5.2    Preservation of Business.  Seller shall carry on the Business diligently and
substantially in the same manner as heretofore conducted and shall use commercially
reasonably efforts to keep its business organizations intact, including keeping available

suppliers and customers and others having business relations with Seller.  Seller shall
perform all obligations required to be performed by it under any Contract or lease.

        5.3    Insurance and Maintenance of Property.  Seller will cause all the Purchased
Assets and all property owned or leased pursuant to the Assumed Liabilities to be insured
against all ordinary and insurable risks (except in respect of any leased property where the
terms of the lease do not impose on lessee the obligation to maintain insurance and where
the loss of such property would not materially adversely affect the conduct of the Business)
and will operate, maintain and repair all of such property in a careful, prudent and
efficient manner.

        5.4    Full Access.  Representatives of Buyer shall have full access at all
reasonable times to all premises, properties, books, records, Contracts, tax records and
documents of Seller relating to the Business, and Seller will furnish to Buyer any
information in respect of the Business as Buyer may from time to time request.  Such
examination and investigation by Buyer shall not affect the warranties and representations
of Seller and Shareholder contained in this Agreement.

        5.5    Books, Records and Financial Statements.  Seller shall maintain its books and
financial records on a basis consistent with the past practices of Seller.  Said books and
financial records shall fairly and accurately reflect the operations of the Business.

        5.6    Governmental Filings.  Seller will cooperate with Buyer in making, as soon as
practicable following the execution hereof, all filings required by any Government in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  All information provided

comply with all applicable Laws.

        5.7    Tax Matters.

                (a)     Seller shall pay all applicable sales, use or other similar transfer
Taxes that are, or become, due or payable as a result of the sale, conveyance, assignment,
transfer or delivery of the Purchased Assets hereunder, whether levied on Buyer, the Purchased
Assets or Seller.  Seller, in the case of the Purchased Assets, shall prepare, subject to
Buyer's reasonable approval, and file any Returns required in respect of such Taxes.

                (b)     All real estate, personal property, ad valorem and any other local
or state Taxes relating to the Purchased Assets or the Business which shall be accrued but
unpaid as of the Effective Time, or which shall be paid as of the Effective Time but relate
in whole or in part to periods after the Effective Time, shall be prorated to the Effective
Time and shall be reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet.  Any such prorated Taxes which
may be ultimately assessed after the Effective Time shall be paid by Seller to Buyer or Buyer
to Seller, as the case may be, within thirty days of such determination.

                (c)     Seller and Buyer shall report Buyer's purchase of the Purchased Assets
pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code and other applicable Laws in a consistent manner and shall
take no position contrary thereto.  Such allocation shall be as set forth in Schedule 2.5.

filed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code or in accordance with other applicable Law.

                (d)     Seller agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished, upon request, as
promptly as practicable, such information and assistance (including access to books and records)
relating to the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities as is reasonably necessary for
the preparation of any Return for Taxes, claims for refund or audit or prosecution or
defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any proposed adjustment of Taxes paid.

                (e)     Seller, upon request, shall use its reasonable efforts to provide or
obtain from any taxing authority any certificate or other document necessary to mitigate, reduce
or eliminate any Taxes (including additions thereto or interest and penalties thereon) that
otherwise would be imposed with respect to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

                (f)     Seller shall furnish to Buyer, as provided in Section 1445(b)(2) of the
Code, an affidavit pursuant to Section 1445(a), stating under penalties of perjury, Transferor's
United States taxpayer identification number and that the Transferor is not a foreign person.

                                 ARTICLE VI

                              OTHER AGREEMENTS

        6.1    Change of Seller's Name.  On October 2, 2000, Seller shall change its name to
some name other than "RWC Consulting Group" or any variation or abbreviation thereof, and
file appropriate notification of its change of name in all jurisdictions where such
notification is required; provided, however, that Seller may use a variation or abbreviation
of the name "RWC Consulting Group" as an assumed name or a d/b/a for the sole purpose of
fulfilling its obligations under Section 6.2 hereof and upon completion of its obligations
under Section 6.2 hereof, Seller shall immediately cease use such assumed name or d/b/a.
Seller will take all steps as may be appropriate to insure to Buyer the continued right to
use the name "RWC Consulting Group" and all variants thereof in connection with Buyer's
operation of the Business.

        6.2    Seller's Employees.  For so long as a project set forth on Schedule 3.18 has
any outstanding obligations to be performed under it (an "Existing Project"), Seller shall
continue to employ those employees and continue to use the services of those independent
contractors who were employed or hired for that Existing Project even if the term extends
beyond the Closing Date.  Pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer is assuming any outstanding
obligations of Seller under an Existing Project following the Closing Date; provided,
however, that Seller shall make available its employees and independent contractors who were
employed or hired for an Existing Project to assist Buyer in performing any outstanding
obligations under such Existing Project.  Seller shall continue to be responsible for all
Liabilities and obligations due to its employees and independent contractors until the
completion of the Existing Project for which such employees and/or independent contractors
were employed or hired, except for the payroll and related expenses of employees and costs
and wages of independent contractors since the last ADP payroll disbursement date before the
Closing Date which will be assumed by Buyer.  Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all
out-of-pocket expenses arising in the Ordinary Course of the Business incurred by Seller
after the Closing Date associated with the continued employment of an employee or the use of
an independent contractor for an Existing Project; provided that it is hereby acknowledged
that Buyer is not assuming any Liability arising from or related to Seller's employees and
independent contractors, except for the payroll and related expenses of employees and costs
and wages of independent contractors since the last ADP payroll disbursement date before the
Closing Date which will be assumed by Buyer..  Upon completion of an Existing Project, those
employees or independent contractors of Seller who were hired for that completed Existing
Project and who are not employed or hired by Seller for any other Existing Project shall no
longer be employed or hired by Seller, or if Buyer should so determine, in its sole
discretion, to employ or hire such employees or independent contractors of Seller prior to
the completion of an Existing Project, Seller shall release such employee or independent
contractor from employment or hire.  Following such time, Buyer, in its sole discretion, may
seek to employ or hire such employee or independent contractor.  Each of Seller and
Shareholder acknowledge that Buyer will determine, in its sole discretion, the
classification of each person hired by Buyer and the method of compensation for such
persons.  Nothing in this Section 6.2 shall be construed to deem Buyer a joint employer of
Seller's employees and independent contractors, and in the event that Buyer is deemed to be
a joint employer of Seller's employees and independent contractors, Seller and Shareholder,
jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify Buyer for any and all Liability which may
be attributed to Buyer as a joint employer.  Additionally, Seller and Shareholder, jointly
and severally, hereby agree to indemnify Buyer for any and all Liability relating to or
arising from a breach, based on the actions of Seller, of a representation, warranty or
covenant of Seller in any Contract set forth on Schedule 3.18.  Any indemnity set forth in
this Section 6.2 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article X hereof,
without regard to the limitations contained in Section 10.2(b).

                                 ARTICLE VII

                          COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE

        7.1    Covenant Not to Compete.

                (a)     As a further inducement to Buyer to purchase the Purchased Assets
and to assume the Assumed Liabilities, each of Seller and Shareholder agrees that for the
period from the Closing Date until the expiration of five years from the Closing Date (the
"Restricted Period"), each of Seller and Shareholder will not, directly or indirectly:
(i) engage in or in any way own, manage, operate, control or otherwise advise or assist
or be actively connected with any enterprise which engages in, or otherwise carries on,
any business activity which is in competition with the current Business of Seller; or
(ii) solicit or accept competitive business from, or provide competitive products or
services to, any customers (whether or not such Persons have done business with Seller
once or more than once) or accounts of Seller (prior to the Closing Date) or Buyer
(after the Closing Date).

               (b)    It is expressly understood and agreed that although Seller, Shareholder
and Buyer consider the restrictions contained in this Section to be reasonable in the
context in which made, if a final judicial determination is made that the time, territory,
scope or any other restriction contained in this Section is unreasonable or otherwise
unenforceable, neither this Agreement nor the provisions of this Section shall be rendered
void, but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum scope, time and territory and
to such other extent as such Court may judicially determine or indicate to be reasonable,
and as so modified, the restrictions contained in this Section shall be binding and
enforceable.

        7.2    Employees.  Except as contemplated in Section 6.2, each of Seller and
Shareholder agrees that during the Restricted Period neither it nor its successors or
assigns will hire any Person who is or shall be in the employ or service of Seller on or
after the Closing Date and whom Buyer intends to employ, or seek to entice, induce or in any
manner influence any such employee to leave his or her employment or not accept employment
from Buyer.

        7.3    Confidentiality.  Each of Seller and Shareholder will not at any time disclose
to any Person other than Buyer or use any "Confidential Information" (as hereinafter
defined) owned, possessed, licensed or used by or relating to the Business, whether or not
such information is embodied in writing or other physical form.  For purposes of this
Agreement, the phrase "Confidential Information" means all trade names, trademarks, service
marks, patents and trade secrets and any and all other information not publicly available
which relates to specific matters concerning the Business, such as, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, engineering, design, manufacturing, maintenance and repair
information; computer software and programs; component sourcing and supply information;
identities of suppliers, customers and contractors; product distribution information;
pricing and compensation policies; sales or financing procedures or methods; operational
methods; strategic plans; internal financial information; research and development plans and
activities; and acquisition and expansion plans.  Each of Seller and Shareholder recognizes
and agrees that all documents and objects containing any Confidential Information, whether
developed by Seller, Shareholder or by someone else for Seller, will after the Closing Date
become the exclusive property of Buyer.

        7.4    Remedies.  Because the breach or anticipated breach of the restrictive
covenants provided for in this Article VII will result in immediate and irreparable harm and
injury to Buyer, for which it will not have an adequate remedy at law, each of Seller and
Shareholder agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to relief in equity to temporarily,
preliminarily and/or permanently enjoin such breach or anticipated breach and to seek any
and all other legal and equitable remedies to which Buyer may be entitled.  Should such
action be taken and an injunction issued, Buyer shall be entitled to reimbursement of
attorneys' fees and costs incurred.


        7.5    Permitted Investments.  Nothing contained herein shall restrict Seller and
Shareholder from owning two percent (2%) or less of the corporate securities of any Person
in competition with the Business which securities are listed on any national securities
exchange or authorized for quotation on the Automated Quotations System of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., if such  Person has no other connection or
relationship, direct or indirect, with the issuer of such securities.

                                ARTICLE VIII.

(v) may be disclosed in the Schedules or otherwise known to Buyer as of the date of this
Agreement or on the Closing Date except to the extent of the amounts reflected on the
Closing Statement:

                             (A)    All Taxes of Seller and Shareholder and Seller's or
Shareholder's Liability for its own Taxes or its Liability, if any (for example, by reason
of transferee Liability or application of Treas. Reg. Section 1.1502-6) for Taxes of others,
and fines and penalties and reasonable expenses (including but not limited to reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) payable with respect to or arising out of any claim or
assessment for such Taxes against Buyer or the Purchased Assets, (1) for any taxable period
ending on or before the Closing Date, except to the extent such Taxes are reflected as a Tax
Liability on the Closing Statement, (2) for any taxable period resulting from a breach of
any of the representations or warranties contained in Section 3.8 hereof, or (3) sustained
in a tax period of Buyer ending after the Closing Date arising out of the settlement or
other resolution of a proposed tax adjustment which relates to a tax period ending on or
before the Closing Date; and

                             (B)    Seller's termination of any of its employees, except to
the extent the amounts of such Losses are reflected on the Closing Statement.

               (b)    The Buyer Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to recover
Indemnified Losses (i) pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than for a breach of a
representation and warranty in Section 3.2, Section 3.6, Section 3.8 and Section 3.27),
unless such Indemnified Losses exceed $100,000 in the aggregate, and then only to the extent
of amounts in excess of $100,000; or (ii) to the extent such Indemnified Losses exceed the
aggregate consideration paid for the Purchased Assets as contemplated under Section 2.3 of
this Agreement, once Seller or Shareholder has made payments to or on behalf of Buyer
Indemnified Persons with respect to such Indemnified Losses in such amount.

        10.3.  Buyer's Indemnification.  Buyer and OSI hereby jointly and severally agree to
hold Seller, Shareholder and their shareholders, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates,
successors, assigns and agents of each of them (collectively, the "Seller Indemnified
Persons") harmless from, against and in respect of, and waives any claim for contribution or
indemnity with respect to, any and all Indemnified Losses incurred or to be incurred by any
of them, to the extent resulting from or arising out of, or alleged to result from or arise
out of: (a) any breach or violation of the representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements of Buyer and OSI contained in this Agreement, or in any exhibit, statement,
Schedule, certificate, instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto, including the
provisions of this Article X; or (b) any Liability of Buyer with respect to the Assumed
Liabilities.

        10.4.  Notice of Claim.  In the event that Buyer seeks indemnification on behalf of a
Buyer Indemnified Person, or Seller seeks indemnification on behalf of a Seller Indemnified
Person, such Party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") shall give written
notice to the other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") specifying the facts constituting the
basis for such claim and the amount, to the extent known, of the claim asserted. With
respect to claims other than Third Person Claims, the Indemnifying Party shall have 20
calendar days after the Indemnified Party provides notice to the Indemnifying Party to make
such investigation of the claim as the Indemnifying Party deems necessary or desirable. For
purposes of such investigation, the claimant agrees to make available to the Indemnifying
Party or its authorized representative(s) the information relied upon by the claimant to
substantiate the claim.  If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree at or
prior to the expiration of such 20 day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension
thereof) to the validity and amount of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the
amount of such claim not more than 10 calendar days after agreement.  If the Indemnified
Party and the Indemnifying Party do no agree within such period (or any mutually agreed upon
extension thereof), the Indemnified Party may seek any available legal remedy.

        10.5.  Right to Contest Claims of Third Persons.  If an Indemnified Party is entitled
to indemnification hereunder because of a claim asserted by any claimant (other than an
indemnified person hereunder) ("Third Person"), the Indemnified Party shall give the
Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt notice thereof after such assertion is actually known
to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the right of a Person to be indemnified
hereunder in respect of claims made by a Third Person shall not be adversely affected by a
failure to give such notice unless, and then only to the extent that, an Indemnifying Party
is prejudiced thereby.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to
the Indemnified Party, and using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party,
to investigate, secure, contest or settle the claim alleged by such Third Person (a "Third
Person Claim"), provided that the Indemnifying Party has unconditionally acknowledged to the
Indemnified Party in writing his or its obligation to indemnify the persons to be
indemnified hereunder with respect to such Third Person Claim; the Indemnified Party may
thereafter participate in (but not control) the defense of any such Third Person Claim with
its own counsel at its own expense, unless separate representation is necessary to avoid a
conflict of interest, in which case such representation shall be at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party.  Unless and until the Indemnifying Party so acknowledges his or its
obligation to indemnify, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its option, to
assume and control defense of the matter and to look to the Indemnifying Party for the full
amount of the costs of defense.  The failure of the Indemnifying Party to respond in writing
to the aforesaid notice of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Person Claim
within 20 calendar days after receipt thereof shall be deemed an election not to defend the
same.  If the Indemnifying Party does not so acknowledge his or its obligation to indemnify
and assume the defense of any such Third Person Claim within the 20 calendar days, (a) the
Indemnified Party may defend against such claim, in such manner as it may deem appropriate,
including, but not limited to, settling such claim, after giving notice of the same to the
Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and (b) the
Indemnifying Party may participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its
own counsel at its own expense.  If the Indemnifying Party thereafter seeks to question the
manner in which the Indemnified Party defended such Third Person Claim or the amount or
nature of any such settlement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the burden to prove by
clear and convincing evidence that conduct of the Indemnified Party in the defense and/or
settlement of such Third Person Claim constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The Parties shall make available to each other all relevant information in their possession
relating to any such Third Person Claim and shall cooperate in the defense thereof.

        10.6.  Set-Off Rights; Payment with OSI Stock.  Subject to complying with the
procedures of Sections 10.4 and/or 10.5, Buyer or OSI shall have the right to seek, in their
sole discretion, satisfaction of Indemnified Losses: (a) from Seller or Shareholder or (b)
by offsetting Indemnified Losses against any payments due under the Promissory Note and any
Earn-Out Payment which may be due to Seller pursuant to Section 2.10.  Either Shareholder or
Buyer may elect to have Indemnified Losses satisfied with OSI Stock valued at the per share
price as specified in the definition of OSI Stock set forth in Article I and to the extent
Shareholder or Seller holds such OSI Stock.

                                 ARTICLE XI.

                               MISCELLANEOUS

        11.1.  Assignment; Binding Agreement.

                (a)     This Agreement and all or any part of Buyer's rights and obligations
hereunder may be assigned by Buyer at any time to any one or more Affiliates of Buyer.  Buyer
shall cause such Affiliate(s) to perform any of Buyer's obligations hereunder which are
assigned to such Affiliate(s).

                (b)     Neither this Agreement nor any of Seller's rights or obligations
hereunder may be assigned by Seller without Buyer's prior written consent.

                (c)     This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit
of the Parties hereto and to their respective successors and permitted assigns.

        11.2.  Termination of Agreement.  This Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby may be terminated prior to the Closing Date only as follows:

                (a)     By mutual consent of Buyer and Seller.

                (b)     By either Buyer or Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred on
or before October 31, 2000, or such other date, if any, as Buyer and Seller shall agree upon.

                (c)     By Buyer if Buyer determines, in its sole discretion, that the
transaction contemplated hereby has become inadvisable or impractical (i) as a result of
Buyer's investigation of the Business prior to the Closing pursuant to Section 8.13 or
(ii) by reason of the institution or threat by any Person, Governmental or otherwise, of
any litigation, investigation or proceeding (it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, a written request by Government authorities for
information with respect to the proposed transactions may be deemed to be a threat of
litigation, investigation or proceedings).

        11.3.  Manner and Effect of Termination.

                (a)     Any action by Seller to terminate this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby, as provided in Section 11.2 hereof, shall be taken by its Board of
Directors.  Any such action by Buyer shall be taken by its Manager, its President or any
appropriately authorized officer.

                (b)     If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof
without fault of either Party or breach of this Agreement, all obligations of Seller and
Buyer hereunder shall terminate, without Liability of Seller to Buyer or of Buyer to Seller.
In such event, each Party hereto shall pay all legal and other costs and expenses incurred
by such Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

                (c)     Nothing in this Section or elsewhere in this Agreement shall impair
or restrict the rights of any Party to any and all remedies at law or in equity in the event
of a breach of or default under this Agreement.

        11.4.  Non-Disclosure of Information.  Without the prior written consent of Buyer,
Seller will not disclose or reveal to any third Person any confidential, non-public or
commercially valuable information (a) concerning Buyer to which Seller was exposed in
connection with this Agreement or (b) concerning the Business.

        11.5.  Bulk Sales.  Buyer hereby waives compliance with any applicable State Uniform
Commercial Code or other statutory provisions governing bulk sales.  Seller agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer from any and all loss, cost or expenses, resulting
from the assertion of claims made against the Purchased Assets sold hereunder or against
Buyer by creditors of Seller under any bulk sales Law with respect to Liabilities of Seller
not assumed by Buyer hereunder, such indemnity to be in accordance with the provisions of
Article X hereof, without regard to the limitations contained in Section 10.2(b).

        11.6.  Entire Agreement and Modification.  This Agreement, including the Schedules
and Exhibits attached hereto and the documents to be delivered pursuant hereto, constitutes
the entire agreement between the Parties.  No changes of, modifications of, amendments to,
or additions to this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed
by all Parties hereto.

        11.7.  Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be
contrary to Law and unenforceable by any court of law, the remaining provisions shall be
severable and enforceable in accordance with their terms.

        11.8.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more identical
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement may be executed and thereafter
transmitted by telecopier, and the telecopier receipt shall constitute an original.

        11.9.  Headings; Interpretation.  The table of contents and article and section
headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect
in any way the meaning or interpretation of the Agreement.  Both Parties have participated
substantially in the negotiation of this Agreement, and each Party hereby disclaims any
defense or assertion in any litigation or arbitration that any ambiguity herein should be
construed against the draftsman.

        11.10. Arbitration, Choice of Forum and Governing Law.

               (a)    The Parties agree to submit any and all disputes arising from or in
connection with this Agreement, whether based on contract, tort, common law, equity,
statute, regulation, order or otherwise, but excluding any disputes arising under Article
VII or governed by the arbitration provisions in Section 2.9 or 2.10 ("Disputes"), including
Disputes arising in connection with claims by third persons, to arbitration, for final and
binding resolution; provided, that the foregoing shall not preclude equitable or other
judicial relief to enforce the provisions hereof or to preserve the status quo pending
resolution of Disputes hereunder.  This provision constitutes a binding arbitration clause
under applicable Law.  Either Party may initiate arbitration of a Dispute by delivery of a
demand therefor in writing (the "Arbitration Demand") to the other Party.  The arbitration
shall be conducted in Atlanta, Georgia, by a sole arbitrator selected by agreement of the
Parties not later than 10 days after delivery of the Arbitration Demand or, failing such
agreement, appointed pursuant to the AAA Rules.  If the arbitrator becomes unable to serve,
his or her successor(s) shall be similarly selected or appointed.  The arbitration shall be
conducted pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act and the Missouri Uniform Arbitration Act
and such procedures as the Parties may agree or, in the absence of or failing such
agreement, pursuant to the AAA Rules.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) each Party shall
be allowed to conduct discovery through written requests for information, document requests,
requests for stipulation of fact, and depositions; (ii) the nature and extent of such
discovery shall be determined by the arbitrator, taking into account the needs of the
Parties and the desirability of making discovery expeditious and cost-effective; (iii) the
arbitrator may issue orders to protect the confidentiality of information to be disclosed in
discovery; (iv) the arbitrator's discovery rulings may be enforced in a court of competent
jurisdiction; (v) each Party shall provide to the other, reasonably in advance of any
hearing, copies of all documents which a Party intends to present in such hearing; (vi) all
hearings shall be conducted on an expedited schedule; and (vii) all proceedings shall be
confidential, except that either Party may at its expense make a stenographic record
thereof.  The arbitrator shall complete all hearings not later than 90 days after his or her
selection or appointment, and shall make a final award not later than 30 days thereafter.
The award shall be in writing and shall specify the factual and legal bases for the award.
The arbitrator shall apportion all costs and expenses of the arbitration, including the
arbitrator's fees and expenses and fees and expenses of experts and attorneys between the
prevailing and non-prevailing Party as the arbitrator shall deem fair and reasonable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the arbitrator award multiple, punitive or
exemplary damages.

               (b)    In light of the Parties' interests in ensuring that disputes regarding
the interpretation, validity and enforceability of this Agreement are resolved on a uniform
basis, and the execution of, and the making of, this Agreement in Missouri, the Parties
agree that (i) any litigation involving any noncompliance with or breach of Article VII this
Agreement, or regarding the interpretation, validity and/or enforceability of Article VII of
this Agreement, shall be filed and conducted in the state or federal courts in St. Louis,
Missouri, and (ii) the Agreement, for purposes of arbitration and litigation proceedings,
shall be interpreted in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Missouri,
without regard for any conflict of law principles.

        11.11. Payment of Fees and Expenses.  Each Party hereto shall pay all fees and
expenses incurred by such Party incident to the negotiation, preparation and execution of
this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the
fees of counsel, accountants and other experts of such Party and any finder's or brokerage
fees incurred by such Party.

        11.12. Notices.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder
