              As an inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, as of the date hereof, Sellers
represent and warrant to Buyer as follows:

UMS is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of
Georgia. Each Seller is duly qualified to transact business as a foreign entity
and is in good standing in each of the jurisdictions in which such Seller is

authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all of the Seller
Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the Seller Ancillary Agreements by Sellers

authorization or consent of Sellers or their stockholders or partners. This
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Sellers and
(assuming the valid authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by
Buyer and Parent) is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Sellers
enforceable in accordance with its terms, and each of the Seller Ancillary
Agreements has been duly authorized by each Seller, as applicable, and (assuming
the valid authorization, execution and delivery thereof by Buyer and Parent)
upon execution and delivery by each Seller, as applicable, will be a legal,
valid and binding obligation of such Seller enforceable in accordance with its
terms, in each case subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting
creditors' rights and to general equity principles.

              (b) Except as set forth in Schedule 5.2, neither the execution
and delivery of this Agreement or any of the Seller Ancillary Agreements by
Sellers or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby by Sellers nor compliance with or fulfillment of the terms, conditions
and provisions hereof or thereof by Sellers will:

                  (i) result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions
         of, or constitute a default, an event of default or an event creating
         rights of acceleration, termination or cancellation or a loss of rights
         under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Encumbrance upon
         any of the Purchased Assets, under (1) the charter, by-laws or similar
         organizational documents of Sellers, (2) any Seller Contract, (3) any
         other material note, instrument, agreement, mortgage, lease, license,
         franchise, permit or other authorization, right, restriction or
         obligation to which either Seller is a party or any of the Purchased
         Assets is subject or by which either Seller is bound, (4) any Court
         Order to which either Seller is a party or any of the Purchased Assets
         is subject or by which either Seller is bound or (5) any Requirements
         of Laws affecting Sellers or the Purchased Assets, other than, in the
         case of clauses (2) and (3), any such breaches, defaults, rights, loss
         of rights or Encumbrances that, individually or in the aggregate, would
         not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or would
         not prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby;
         or

                  (ii) require the approval, consent, authorization or act of,
         or the making by Sellers of any declaration, filing or registration
         with, any Governmental Body, except for such approvals, consents,
         authorizations, declarations, filings or registrations the failure of
         which to be obtained or made would not reasonably be expected to have a
         Material Adverse Effect or would not prevent the consummation of the
         transactions contemplated hereby.


                                       11
<PAGE>

         5.3. Absence of Encumbrances. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.3, each
Seller's right, title and interest in the Purchased Assets (other than the POS
Hardware) are free and clear of all Encumbrances, except for Permitted
Encumbrances.

         5.4. Status of Seller Contracts. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.4 or
as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, each of the Seller Contracts (i) constitutes a valid
and binding obligation of the parties thereto and is in full force and effect
and (ii) may be assigned as contemplated by this Agreement and will continue in
full force and effect thereafter, in each case without breaching any material
term thereof or resulting in the forfeiture or impairment of any material right
thereunder and without the consent, approval or act of, or the making of any
filing with, any other Person. Sellers have fulfilled and performed their
obligations under each of the Seller Contracts except for any failures to
perform which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have Material Adverse Effect and neither Seller is in, or alleged to
be in, any breach or default under, nor is there or is there alleged to be any
reasonable basis for termination for cause of, any of the Seller Contracts and
no other party to any of the Seller Contracts has breached or defaulted
thereunder which has remained uncured except for any breaches or defaults which
would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.4, Sellers have
complete and correct copies of substantially all of the Seller Contracts and has
afforded Buyer, to the extent requested by Buyer, reasonable access to the
agreements for Buyer to review and inspect.

         5.5. No Violation, Litigation or Regulatory Action. Except as set forth
in Schedule 5.5, there are no material claims, suits, proceedings or
investigations pending or, to the knowledge of Sellers, threatened in respect of
the Purchased Assets.

         5.6. Net Revenues. Schedule 5.6 contains information relating to the
pro forma Net Revenues with respect to the Purchased Assets for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2003 and the ten months ended October 31, 2004. Such
information has been prepared in accordance with the assumptions stated therein
and in a manner consistent with Sellers' past practice of determining Net
Revenues associated with the Purchased Assets. Such information presents fairly
(and has been prepared in good faith and on a reasonable basis with respect to)
the Net Revenues associated with the Purchased Assets for the periods covered
thereby. The Referral Agreements that have not been made available to Buyer and
the other referral agreements identified in Schedule 2.3(b) do not contain any
terms which would result in a material increase in the payment obligations to
any party thereto from the historical payment obligations reflected in the
calculation of Net Revenues as set forth in Schedule 5.6.

         5.7. Operations Since October 31, 2004.

                  (i) Since October 31, 2004, there has been no Material Adverse
         Effect and there has been no change in Sellers' operations of the
         Purchased Assets that would reasonably be expected to result in a
         Material Adverse Effect.

                  (ii) Since October 31, 2004, Sellers have conducted their
         affairs with respect to Agent Banks and Merchants which are parties to
         the Seller Contracts and the Referral Agreements only in the ordinary
         course and in conformity with past practice. Without


                                       12
<PAGE>

         limiting the generality of the foregoing, since October 31, 2004,
         Sellers have not in respect of the Seller Contracts:

                       (A) materially delayed or accelerated payment of any
         account payable or other liability of any party under any of the Seller
         Contracts beyond or in advance of its due date or the date when such
         liability would have been paid in the ordinary course of business
         consistent with past practice; or

                       (B) created, modified or continued any arrangements
         with any Merchant (either directly or through its Affiliates or Agent
         Banks) pursuant to which selected Merchants received either subsidized
         fees or discount support (except for Merchants who received such
         subsidized fees or discount support that are listed in Schedule 5.7).

         5.8. Customers. Schedule 5.8 sets forth a complete and accurate list of
the top 25 Merchants that are party to Seller Contracts based on net Bank Card
sales volume for the ten months ended October 31, 2004 (the "Significant
Merchants"). Except as set forth in Schedule 5.8, since November 1, 2004, to the
knowledge of Sellers, Sellers have not lost or been notified in writing that
they will lose any Significant Merchant or any referral relationship
contemplated by the Referral Agreements.

         5.9. Compliance with Laws. Sellers are in compliance with all
Requirements of Law and all Rules which, in each case, are applicable to the
Purchased Assets, except for such instances of non-compliance as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

         5.10. Chargeback. To the knowledge of Sellers, there are no factors
(other than any factors which are generally known, or with respect to which
information is generally available, in the Merchant Processing Services
industry) relating to an increase in the Chargeback rates with respect to the
Purchased Assets which, individually or in the aggregate, Sellers reasonably
expect will cause a Material Adverse Effect.

         5.11. Merchant Reserve Accounts. Schedule 5.11 sets forth a complete
listing of Reserve Accounts with respect to the Seller Merchants as of October
31, 2004.

         5.12. Taxes. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.12, Sellers have, in
respect of the Purchased Assets, filed all material Tax Returns which are
required to be filed and has paid all Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Returns;
provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.12 shall cause Sellers to be
liable for any Taxes for which Sellers are not expressly liable pursuant to
Section 7.2 (relating to liability for Taxes).

         5.13. No Finder. Neither Sellers nor any Person acting on their behalf
has paid or become obligated to pay any fee or commission to any broker, finder
or intermediary for or on account of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.


                                       13

         5.14. No Untrue Statements. To the knowledge of Sellers, none of this
Agreement, any Schedule to this Agreement or any Exhibit to this Agreement
contains any untrue statement of a material fact.

applicable to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, in each case
attributable to taxable years or periods beginning after the Effective Time and
with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period
beginning after the Effective Time.

              (b) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) of this Section 7.2.1, any

         7.3. Non-Solicitation and Related Obligations.

              (a) For a four (4)-year period after the Effective Time, Sellers
shall refrain from, and shall use their reasonable best efforts so that their
Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, target for solicitation for the
purpose of providing Merchant Processing Services thereto in the United States,
any Merchant which is a party to a 2004 Merchant Agreement or any party to a
Referral Agreement as of the Effective Time, it being understood that the
provision of services by Sellers or their Affiliates to Merchants who initiate
contacts with Sellers or their Affiliates without being solicited by Sellers or
their Affiliates shall not violate Sellers' obligations hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 7.3(a) are not
intended and shall not be interpreted to create any remedy or breach as a result
of incidental solicitations of customers in the ordinary course of FDMS' or its
Affiliates' business, including any general advertisements not targeted at the
customers included in the Purchased Assets.

              (b) For a three (3)-year period after the Effective Time, Sellers

Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, target for solicitation for the
purpose of providing Merchant Processing Services thereto in the United States,
any Agent Bank or Merchant which is a party to a 2003 Agreement as of the
Effective Time, it being understood that the provision of services by Sellers or
their Affiliates to Merchants who initiate contacts with Sellers or their
Affiliates without being solicited by Sellers or their Affiliates shall not
violate Sellers' obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
provisions of this Section 7.3(b) are not intended and shall not be interpreted
to create any remedy or breach as a result of incidental solicitations of
customers in the ordinary course of FDMS' or its Affiliates' business, including
any general advertisements not targeted at the customers included in the
Purchased Assets.

         7.4. Merchant Reserve Accounts; Guarantees.

              (a) Merchant Reserve Accounts. Sellers shall continue to maintain
and control any Reserve Accounts established to secure payment of amounts due to
Sellers pursuant


                                       17
<PAGE>

to Seller Contracts, and may continue to debit such accounts for amounts which
Sellers are responsible for pursuant to Section 2.4(a). Within 180 days after
the Effective Time, Sellers shall transfer any amounts remaining in each Reserve
Account to Buyer, and Buyer shall credit a similar account established for the
same Merchant by Buyer in an amount equal to the amount transferred by Sellers
or return the balance to the applicable Merchant.

              (b) Guarantees. Upon Sellers no longer having any potential
liability pursuant to Section 2.4(a) as a result of the expiration of all
applicable Card Association periods, Sellers shall cease to have any right to
have any guarantees provided by Merchants enforced on its behalf.

              (c) Collections. In addition to the foregoing, Sellers may collect
amounts due to Sellers resulting from Transactions with an Acquirer's Processing
Date prior to the Effective Time from Merchants through offsets against
Merchant's settlement monies or through any other means. Buyer shall provide any
reasonable assistance requested by Sellers in connection with Sellers' efforts
to collect any amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence.

         7.5. [Intentionally Omitted]

         7.6. Performance by Buyer. Immediately after the Effective Time, Buyer
shall have full responsibility for the proper performance of the Merchant
Processing Services under each Seller Contract (other than the services which
are subject to the terms contained in the Processing Agreement). Buyer shall
also determine all pricing charged to Seller Merchants that are party to Seller
Contracts for Merchant Processing Services after the Effective Time.

         7.7. Post-Closing Merchant Contracts. Subject to Buyer's compliance
with Section 2.7 of the Processing Agreement, from the Effective Time until 180
days after the Effective Time, Buyer may request that Sellers enter into
agreements, utilizing the form applications and agreement currently in use by
Sellers with respect to the Purchased Assets, with new Merchants sourced through
the Referral Agreements (each, a "Post-Closing Merchant Contract"). Upon
execution thereof, Sellers shall provide Buyer with an assignment of the rights
under such Post-Closing Merchant Contract consistent in form and scope with the
assignments provided in this Agreement with respect to Seller Contracts with
Merchants.

         7.8. Operation of the Purchased Assets. From the date hereof through
the Effective Time, Sellers shall continue to conduct its affairs with respect
to Agent Banks and Merchants which are parties to the Seller Contracts only in
the ordinary course and in conformity with past practice.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                 INDEMNIFICATION


                                       18
<PAGE>

         9.1. Indemnification by Sellers. (a) Sellers agree to indemnify and
hold harmless each Buyer Group Member from and against any and all Losses and
Expense incurred by such Buyer Group Member in connection with or arising from:

                  (i) any breach by Sellers of any of their covenants in this
         Agreement;

                  (ii) any breach of any warranty or the inaccuracy of any
         representation of Sellers contained or referred to in this Agreement or
         any certificate delivered by or on behalf of Sellers pursuant hereto;
         or

                  (iii) any Excluded Liability.

                  (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 9.1(a) to
the contrary, Sellers shall be required to indemnify and hold harmless under
clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 9.1(a) with respect to Loss and Expense incurred
by Buyer Group Members only to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Loss
and Expense exceeds $950,000 (it being intended that such amount shall
constitute a "deductible" for which Sellers bears no indemnification
responsibility); provided, however, that the limitation on indemnification
contained in this Section 9.1(a) shall not apply to Losses or Expenses which
arise from a breach of representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.1,
5.2(a) and 5.13. In addition, in no event shall the aggregate amount required to
be paid by Sellers pursuant to Section 9.1(a) (other than with respect to clause
(iii) thereof) exceed 25% of the Purchase Price.

                  (c) The indemnification provided for in this Section 9.1 shall
terminate 18 months after the Effective Time (and no claims shall be made by any
Buyer Group Member under this Section 9.1 thereafter), except that the
indemnification by Sellers shall continue as to:

                  (i) the obligations and representations of Sellers under the
         Instrument of Assignment, as to which no time limitation shall apply;

                  (ii) the covenants of Sellers set forth in Section 7.2, which
         shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations;

                  (iii) the representations and warranties of Sellers set forth
         in Section 5.12, which shall survive for a period of sixty (60) days
         following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations;

                  (iv) the covenants of Sellers set forth in Sections 7.1 and
         7.3, which shall survive for a period of six (6) months following the
         expiration of the time periods set forth in such covenants;

                  (v) the representations and warranties of Sellers set forth in
         Sections 5.1, 5.2(a) and 5.13, the covenants of Sellers set forth in
         Sections 7.7, 10.2, 10.6 and 10.13 and the matter set forth in Section
         9.1(a)(iii), as to all of which no time limitation shall apply; and

                  (vi) any Loss or Expense of which any Buyer Group Member has
         notified Sellers in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.3 on
         or prior to the date such


                                       19
<PAGE>

         indemnification would otherwise terminate in accordance with this
         Section 9.1, as to which the obligation of Sellers shall continue until
         the liability of Sellers shall have been determined pursuant to this
         Article IX, and Sellers shall have reimbursed all Buyer Group Members
         for the full amount of such Loss and Expense in accordance with this
         Article IX.

         9.2. Indemnification by Buyer and Parent. (a) Buyer and Parent jointly
and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Seller Group Member from
and against any and all Loss and Expense incurred by such Seller Group Member in
connection with or arising from:

                  (i) any breach by Buyer or Parent of any of its respective
         covenants in this Agreement;

                  (ii) any breach of any warranty or the inaccuracy of any
         representation of Buyer or Parent contained or referred to in this
         Agreement or in any certificate delivered by or on behalf of Buyer or
         Parent pursuant hereto; or

                  (iii) (A) any Assumed Liability, (B) any other liability or
         obligation relating to the operation of the Purchased Assets by Buyer
         after the Effective Time, or (C) any act or omission by Buyer with
         respect to the Post-Closing Merchant Contracts.

                  (b) The indemnification provided for in this Section 9.2 shall
terminate 18 months after the Effective Time (and no claims shall be made by any
Seller Group Member under this Section 9.2 thereafter), except that the
indemnification by Buyer and Parent shall continue as to:

                  (i) the obligations and representations of Buyer under the
         Assumption Agreement, as to which no time limitation shall apply;

                  (ii) the covenants of Buyer set forth in Section 7.2, which
         shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations;

                  (iii) the representations and warranties of Buyer set forth in
         Sections 6.1, 6.2(a), 6.3 and 6.5, the covenants of Buyer set forth in
         Sections 7.1, 7.9, 10.2, 10.6 and 10.13 and the matters set forth in
         Section 9.2(a)(iii), as to all of which no time limitation shall apply;
         and

                  (iv) any Loss or Expense of which any Seller Group Member has
         notified Buyer in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.3 on or
         prior to the date such indemnification would otherwise terminate in
         accordance with this Section 9.2, as to which the obligation of Buyer
         and Parent shall continue until the liability of Buyer and Parent shall
         have been determined pursuant to this Article IX, and Buyer and Parent
         shall have reimbursed all Seller Group Members for the full amount of
         such Loss and Expense in accordance with this Article IX.

         9.3. Notice of Claims. (a) Any Buyer Group Member or Seller Group
Member (the "Indemnified Party") seeking indemnification hereunder shall give to
the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the
"Indemnitor") a notice (a "Claim


                                       20
<PAGE>

Notice") describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for
indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known)
the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a
reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or
instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is
based; provided, that a Claim Notice in respect of any action at law or suit in
equity by or against a third Person as to which indemnification will be sought
shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced.

              (b) In calculating any Loss or Expense there shall be deducted
any insurance recovery in respect thereof (and no right of subrogation shall
accrue hereunder to any insurer).

              (c) After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the
amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under
this Article IX shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any
court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) by any other means to which the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree. The judgment or decree of a
court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired
and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been
finally determined. The Indemnified Party shall have the burden of proof in
establishing the amount of Loss and Expense suffered by it.

              (d) If Sellers are required to indemnify Buyer pursuant to the
provisions of Article IX, and the Loss or Expense for which the indemnification
is sought under Article IX has provided, or will provide, any Buyer Group Member
with a Tax refund or credit, Buyer shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain
(or cause such Buyer Group Member to obtain) such Tax refund or credit
(including, if necessary, the filing of amended Tax Returns) and the amount of
such Tax refund or credit actually received by Buyer shall reduce Sellers'
liability to indemnify Buyer under Article IX.

              (e) Buyer and Sellers agree that, for purposes of computing
the amount of any indemnification payment under this Section 9.3, any such
indemnification payment shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price
for all Tax purposes.

         9.4. Third Person Claims. (a) In order for a party to be entitled to
any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out
of or involving a claim or demand made by any third Person against the
Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnitor in writing,
and in reasonable detail, of the third Person claim within 15 days after receipt
by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the third Person claim.
Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnitor, within 10
business days after the Indemnified Party's receipt thereof, copies of all
notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitor
relating to the third Person claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should a
party be physically served with a complaint with regard to a third Person claim,
the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnitor with a copy of the complaint
within ten business days after receipt thereof and shall deliver to the
Indemnitor within 10 business days after the receipt of such complaint copies of
notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party
relating to the third Person claim. Notwithstanding anything


                                       21
<PAGE>

contained herein to the contrary, the failure to give such notice shall not
relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it
shall have been prejudiced by such failure.

              (b) Any notice given pursuant to Section 9.4(a) of a claim
based upon or relating to any of the representations, warranties or covenants
contained in this Agreement shall contain a reference to the provision of this
Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or
in connection herewith upon which such claim is based, the facts giving rise to
an alleged basis for the claim and the amount of the liability asserted against
the Indemnitor by reason of the claim. In the event of the initiation of any
legal proceeding against the Indemnified Party by a third Person, the Indemnitor
shall have the sole and absolute right, within 45 days after the receipt of
notice, at its option and at its own expense, to be represented by counsel of
its choice and to control, defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal
with any proceeding, claim, or demand which relates to any loss, liability or
damage indemnified against hereunder; provided, however, that the Indemnitor
shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense (but shall be entitled
to participate therein with counsel of its choice) if (i) Indemnitor and
Indemnified Party agree, reasonably and in good faith, that such third party
claim would give rise to Losses which are more than twice the amount
indemnifiable by such Indemnitor pursuant to this Article IX or (ii) the claim
seeks only an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party and
provided, further that Indemnified Party may participate in any such proceeding
with counsel of its choice and at its expense. The parties hereto agree to
cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or
settlement of any such legal proceeding, claim or demand. To the extent the
Indemnitor elects not to defend such proceeding, claim or demand, and the
Indemnified Party defends against or otherwise deals with any such proceeding,
claim or demand, the Indemnified Party may retain counsel, at the expense of the
Indemnitor, and control the defense of such proceeding. Neither the Indemnitor
nor the Indemnified Party may settle any such proceeding which settlement
obligates the other party to pay money, to perform obligations or to admit
liability without the consent of the other party, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld. In the event the Indemnified Party shall refuse to
consent to the settlement of any legal proceeding, claim or demand, the
Indemnified Party may elect to take over the defense of such legal proceeding,
claim or demand, and in any such case the liability of the Indemnitor for
indemnification in respect of such legal proceeding, claim or demand shall not
exceed the amount for which the legal proceeding, claim or demand could have
been settled plus the amount of Expense incurred by the Indemnified Party prior
to the time of the proposed settlement to which it is entitled to
indemnification. After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a
court, arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and
the time in which to appeal therefrom has expired, or a settlement shall have
been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall arrive at a
mutually binding agreement with respect to each separate matter alleged to be
indemnified by the Indemnitor hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to
the Indemnitor notice of any sums due and owing by it with respect to such
matter and the Indemnitor shall pay all of the sums so owning to the Indemnified
Party by wire transfer, certified or bank cashier's check within 30 days after
the date of such notice.

              (c) If there shall be any conflict between the provisions of this
Section 9.4 relating to contests of third-party claims, and Section 7.2.2
relating to Tax contests, the provisions of Section 7.2.2 shall control with
respect to Tax contests.


                                       22
<PAGE>

         9.5. Limitations. (a) In any case where an Indemnified Party recovers
from third Persons any amount in respect of a matter with respect to which an
Indemnitor has indemnified it pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party
shall promptly pay over to the Indemnitor the amount so recovered (after
deducting therefrom the full amount of the expenses incurred by it in procuring
such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously so
paid by the Indemnitor to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of
such matter and (ii) any amount expended by the Indemnitor in pursuing or
defending any claim arising out of such matter.

              (b) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF REVENUES OR
PROFITS), EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, ARISING UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE
THEORY, ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ALL OF WHICH ARE
HEREBY EXCLUDED BY AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT ANY
PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

              (c) Each of the parties agrees to take all reasonable steps to
mitigate their respective Losses and Expenses upon and after becoming aware of
any event or condition which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any
Losses and Expenses that are indemnifiable hereunder.

              (d) Except for fraud, for remedies that cannot be waived as a
matter of law and for injunctive and provisional relief, this Article IX shall
be the exclusive remedy for breaches of this Agreement (including any covenant,
obligation, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any
certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement) or otherwise in respect of the
sale of the Purchased Assets contemplated hereby.

                                   ARTICLE X

indemnification may be made pursuant to Article IX (at which time such
representation and warranty shall terminate).

         10.2. Confidential Nature of Information. Each party hereto agrees that
all documents, materials and other information which it shall have obtained
regarding the other party during the course of the negotiations leading to the

after the date of this Agreement), the investigation provided for herein and the

except as and to the extent that any such party shall be so obligated by law, in

comply with the accounting and Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure
obligations.

or to such other address as such party may indicate by a notice delivered to the
other party hereto.

         10.5. Successors and Assigns. (a) The rights of any party under this
Agreement shall not be assignable by such party hereto prior to the Closing
without the written consent of each other party.

              (b) Following the Closing, neither Buyer or Parent, on the one
hand, nor Sellers on the other hand, may assign any of its rights hereunder to
any third Person without the written consent of the other party, except that any
party may assign its rights hereunder to an Affiliate or to a third party in
connection with a merger, or the sale of all or substantially all of the capital
stock or assets of such party. Any assignment hereunder (whether before or after
the Closing) shall not relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any
Person other than the parties and successors and assigns permitted by this
Section 10.5 any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

         10.6. Access to Records after Effective Time. For a period of three
years after the Effective Time, Sellers and their representatives shall have
reasonable access to all of the books and records transferred to Buyer hereunder
to the extent that such access may reasonably be required by Sellers in
connection with matters relating to or affected by the operation of the
Purchased Assets prior to the Effective Time. Such access shall be afforded by
Buyer upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and during normal business
hours. Sellers shall be solely responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by
it pursuant to this Section 10.6. If Buyer shall desire to dispose of any of
such books and records prior to the expiration of such three-year period, Buyer
shall, prior to such disposition, give Sellers a reasonable opportunity, at
Sellers' expense, to segregate and remove such books and records as Sellers may
select.

              For a period of three years after the Effective Time, Buyer and
its representatives shall have reasonable access to all of the books and records
relating to the Purchased Assets which Sellers may retain after the Effective
Time (but only to the extent relating to the Purchased Assets). Such access
shall be afforded by Sellers upon receipt of reasonable advance notice and
during normal business hours. Buyer shall be solely responsible for any costs
and expenses incurred by it pursuant to this Section 10.6. If Sellers shall
desire to dispose of any of such books and records prior to the expiration of
such three-year period, Sellers shall, prior to such disposition, give Buyer a
reasonable opportunity, at Buyer's expense, to segregate and remove such books
and records as Buyer may select.

         10.7. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the Exhibits and
Schedules referred to herein and the documents delivered pursuant hereto and the
Confidentiality Agreement contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto
with regard to the subject matter contained herein or therein, and supersede all
prior agreements, understandings or letters of intent between or among any of
the parties hereto. This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or
supplemented except by a written instrument signed by an authorized
representative of each of the parties hereto.

         10.8. Interpretation. Article titles and headings to sections herein
are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part
of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The Schedules
and Exhibits referred to herein shall be construed with and as an integral part
of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.
Disclosure of any fact or item in any Schedule hereto referenced by a particular
section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to
every other section in this Agreement. The specification of any dollar amount in
the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion
of any specific item in any Schedules hereto is not intended to imply that such
amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included or other items,
are or are not material, and neither party shall use the fact of the setting of
such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy
between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described
herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this
Agreement.

         10.9. Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived,
or the time for its performance may be extended, by the party or parties
entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and
sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any party,
it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such party. The
failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this
Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any
way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of
any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any
breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or
subsequent breach.

         10.10. Expenses. Each party hereto will pay all costs and expenses
incident to its negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and to its
performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein
on its part to be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and
disbursements of its counsel and accountants.

         10.11. Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein
shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the
extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating
the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions
or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be
unreasonable.

         10.12. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one
or more counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original instrument,
but all of which shall be


                                       26
<PAGE>

considered one and the same agreement, and shall become binding when one or more
counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to
Sellers and Buyer.

         10.13. Further Assurances. From time to time after the Effective Time,
Sellers shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to
Buyer such other instruments of conveyance and transfer as Buyer may reasonably
request or as may be otherwise necessary to more effectively convey and transfer
to, and vest in, Buyer and put Buyer in possession of, any part of the Purchased
Assets, and, in the case of Seller Contracts included in the Purchased Assets
which cannot be transferred or assigned effectively without the consent of third
parties which consent has not been obtained prior to the Effective Time, to
cooperate with Buyer at its request in endeavoring to obtain such consent
promptly. From time to time after the Effective Time, Buyer shall execute and
deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to Sellers such other
instruments of assumption as Sellers may reasonably request or as may be
otherwise necessary to more effectively evidence or effect the assumption by
Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any
Seller Contract included in the Purchased Assets if an attempted assignment
thereof without the consent of a third party thereto would constitute a breach
thereof; provided, that Sellers shall hold any such Seller Contract for the use
and benefit of Buyer (and at the sole expense of Buyer) and shall retain any
Assumed Liability related to such Seller Contract for the account and at the
sole expense of Buyer and shall take such other action as may be reasonably
requested by Buyer in order to place Buyer, insofar as reasonably permitted by
such Seller Contract and applicable law, in the same position as would have
existed had such Seller Contract been transferred and such related Assumed
Liability been assumed hereunder. As and when such Seller Contracts become
transferable, such transfer, including the assumption of the related Assumed
Liability, shall be deemed to occur immediately without any other action being
taken by Sellers, Buyer or any other Person.

         10.14. Cooperation. Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer and its outside
accountants in Buyer's audit of the Purchased Assets after the Effective Time
(which audit will be with respect to the three years ended on December 31,
2004), including without limitation, by affording Buyer and its outside
accountants (at Buyer's sole expense) access to such records (including
financial and operating data) and personnel of Sellers and their outside
accountants as may be necessary for the conduct of Buyer's audit by its outside
accountants (including trial balances and similar materials, in each case to the
extent, and only to the extent, they relate solely to the Purchased Assets), it
being understood that Buyer shall provide Sellers reasonable advance notice of
any request for access or information and Sellers shall provide such access or
make available such information during normal business hours.

         10.15. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the internal laws (as opposed to the conflicts of law
provisions) of the State of New York.

         10.16. Disclaimer of Warranties. Sellers make no representations or
warranties with respect to any projections, forecasts or forward-looking
information provided to Buyer. There is no assurance that any projected or
forecasted results will be achieved. EXCEPT AS TO THOSE MATTERS EXPRESSLY
COVERED BY THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLERS ARE
SELLING THE PURCHASED ASSETS ON AN "AS

IS, WHERE IS" BASIS AND SELLERS DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS
AND GUARANTIES WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. SELLERS MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR
WARRANTY AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NO
IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER. Buyer acknowledges that neither Sellers nor any
of their representatives nor any other Person has made any representation or
warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any
memoranda, charts, summaries or schedules heretofore made available by Sellers
or their representatives to Buyer or any other information which is not included
in this Agreement or the Schedules hereto, and neither Sellers nor any of their
representatives nor any other Person will have or be subject to any liability to
Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any other Person resulting from the
distribution of any such information to, or use of any such information by,
Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any of their agents, consultants, accountants,
counsel or other representatives.
