assets, including cash, accounts receivable and inventory, are less than the
sum of its Trade Accounts Payable and accrued expenses, the Purchase Price
shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of its Trade Accounts Payable
and accrued expense minus current assets; if the Company's current assets

Price shall be increased by the amount equal to the current assets minus Trade

Balance Sheet) certified by Shareholders to be true and correct. The Closing
Date Balance Sheet shall (i) fairly present the financial position of the
Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date compiled in a
consistently applied manner, and (ii) include a detailed schedule of
Liabilities.  The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be used to calculate any
post closing adjustments to the Purchase Price as of the Closing Date and the
amount of any Liabilities to be paid by Shareholders, all in accordance with
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

                 (c)      To the extent the Shareholders received at Closing an
amount of cash in excess of what they are entitled to hereunder, Shareholders
shall pay to Buyer such amount within five (5) days after such determination.
To the extent Shareholders are entitled to a greater amount of cash than they
received at Closing, then Buyer shall pay such amount within five (5) days
after such determination.

         9.2     INDEMNIFICATION OF THE COMPANY AND SHAREHOLDERS BY BUYER.
Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Shareholders from and
against (i) any and all Damages arising out of or relating to any material
inaccuracy or any material misrepresentation made herein by Buyer, (ii) the
material breach of any warranty of Buyer set forth in this Agreement, (iii) the
breach of any covenant made by Buyer in or pursuant to this Agreement or (iv)
any claim arising relating to the Company, the Assets or the Business arising
after the Closing Date.

         9.3     CLAIMS FOR INDEMNIFICATION.  Whenever any claim arises for
indemnification hereunder, the indemnified party (hereafter the "Indemnified
Party") shall notify the indemnifying party (hereafter the "Indemnifying
Party") in writing by registered or certified mail promptly after the
Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of the facts constituting the basis for
such claim (the "Notice of Claim").  Such notice shall specify all material
facts known to the Indemnified Party giving rise to such indemnification right,
and to the extent practicable, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the
liability arising therefrom. The failure of any Indemnified Party to promptly
notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligation to indemnify in respect to such action and shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of any other liability which they may have to any
Indemnified Party unless such failure to notify the Indemnifying Party
prejudices the rights of the Indemnifying Party.  In addition to all other
remedies provided hereunder or by law, Buyer shall specifically have the right
to make a claim against the Escrow Amount for any of Buyer's Damages.

         9.4     RIGHT TO DEFEND.  If the facts giving rise to any such claim
for indemnification involve any actual or threatened claim or demand by any
third party against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled (without prejudice to the right of the Indemnified Party to
participate in the defense of such claim or demand at its expense through
counsel of its own choosing) to assume the defense of such claim or demand in
the name of the Indemnified Party at the Indemnifying Party's expense and
through counsel of its own choosing, which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, if it gives written notice to the
Indemnified Party within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Notice of
Claim that the Indemnifying Party intends to assume the defense of such claim
and acknowledges its liability to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any
losses resulting from such claim; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying
Party does not elect to assume the defense of any claim, then (a) the
Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such
claim or demand at its expense through counsel of its own choosing, provided
the Indemnified Party shall control the defense of such claim, (b) the
Indemnified Party may settle any such claim without the consent of the
Indemnifying Party, however, the Indemnifying Party may not settle any such
claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party; and (c)
Section 9.5 hereof shall be inapplicable.  Whether or not the Indemnifying
Party does choose to so defend such claim, the parties hereto shall cooperate
in the defense thereof and shall furnish such records, information and
testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials
and appeals as may be requested in connection therewith.  To the extent
Shareholders are the Indemnified Parties for any actual or threatened claim or
demand by any third party, Shareholders shall have the right to control the
prosecution of any counterclaim or right related to such a claim or demand,
provided that Shareholders agree to reasonably cooperate with Buyer with
respect to the prosecution of such counterclaim or right.





                                       22
<PAGE>   23
         9.5     SETTLEMENT.  Except as provided in Section 9.4, (i) the
Indemnified Party shall make no settlement of any claim that would give rise to
liability on the part of the Indemnifying Party under an indemnity contained in
this Article IX without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and (ii) the Indemnifying Party can
settle without the consent of the Indemnified Party only if the settlement
involves only the payment of money for which the Indemnifying Party will be
fully liable.  No other settlement of any claim may be made without the consent
of both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.

         9.6     EFFECT OF TERMINATION.  Without limiting any other rights the
parties may have, the parties specifically agree that the covenants contained
in this Article will continue to be enforceable following termination of this
Agreement.

consummate and specifically perform the transactions contemplated hereby, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and to obtain from Buyer any
attorney fees incurred in connection with procuring such specific performance
or (ii) terminate this Agreement and obtain reimbursement of its out-of-pocket
expenses incurred directly in connection with the negotiation, preparation and
performance of this Agreement.

to the contrary, if any condition specified in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 has
not been satisfied, Shareholders or Buyer, in addition to any other rights
which may be available to it, shall have the right to waive any such condition
that is for its benefit and to require the other party hereto to proceed with

<PAGE>   27
                 (b)      Buyer and Shareholders further agree, upon request,

allocated) and related reporting requirements, and gross receipts or royalty
Tax in respect of any franchise operation and any other Tax of the Company

Buyer or the Company under Section 11.7 will be treated as an adjustment to the
relevant purchase price for all Tax purposes unless a Final Determination
causes any such amount not to constitute an adjustment to the relevant purchase
price.  In the event of such a Final Determination, Buyer, the Company or
Shareholders, as the case may be, shall pay an amount that reflects the
hypothetical Tax consequences of the receipt or accrual of such payment, using
the maximum statutory rate (or rates, in the case of an item that affects more
than one Tax) applicable to the recipient of such payment for the relevant
year, reflecting for example, the effect of deductions available for interest
paid or accrued and for Taxes such as state and local income Taxes.  Any
payment required to be made by Buyer or Shareholders under this Article XI that
is not made when due shall bear interest at the rate per annum determined, from
time to time, under the provision of Section 6621(a)(2) of the Code for each
day until paid.

         11.9.   SURVIVAL.  The provisions of this Article XI with respect to
income (including to the extent based on income, state franchise Taxes),
transfer Taxes, employment or withholding Taxes and related reporting
requirements, shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of
limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof).
