be deemed in default hereunder by reason of any failure of a condition precedent
to the  obligations of either Sellers or Purchaser  hereunder where such failure
has occurred  for reasons  beyond the control of the party unable to satisfy the
condition precedent to the other party's obligations under this Agreement.

         Section 5.4 Continuation of Insurance. The Companies shall keep in

3.5(b),  3.5(d) and 3.5(e)  discloses that the landlord of Location 14 has taken
the position  that MCW is obligated to remove the  underground  storage tanks at

Sellers and  Purchasers  agree that they shall  share the cost of  removing  the
underground  storage tanks at Location 14 in accordance  with Applicable Law, as

         Section 5.9 Regulatory and Other Authorizations; Notices and Consents.

transaction  set forth in this Agreement,  including,  without  limitation,  the
approval of every regulatory agency of federal,  state, or local government that
may be required  in the opinion of either  Purchaser  or  Sellers.  Further,  if
Purchaser in its reasonable  discretion deems Sellers'  assistance to be useful,
and at  Purchaser's  request,  Sellers will assist and cooperate  with Purchaser
(such assistance  excludes hiring of third parties,  the expenditure of money or
the assumption of any obligations) to obtain any approvals,  authorizations  and
consents  required to be obtained to allow  Purchaser  to operate any of the car
wash  businesses  (and  other  related  revenue   generating  sources  including

                                       22
<PAGE>

         (b)  Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  set  forth  in  this
Agreement or in any ancillary agreements, nothing contained in this Agreement or
in any of the  Collateral  Documents  shall be construed as, or  constitute,  an
attempt,  agreement or other  undertaking to transfer or assign to Purchaser any
asset,  property or right that would otherwise  constitute an Asset, but that by
its terms is not  transferable  or  assignable  to  Purchaser  pursuant  to this
Agreement without the consent, waiver, approval, authorization, qualification or
other order of one or more third  parties and such  consent,  waiver,  approval,
authorization,  qualification  or  other  order  is  not  obtained  prior  to or
subsequent to the Closing (each, a "Non-Transferable Asset").

         (c)  From  and  after  the   Closing   and,   with   respect   to  each
Non-Transferable Asset, until the earlier to occur, if ever, of (i) such time as
such  Non-Transferable  Asset  shall be properly  and  lawfully  transferred  or
assigned  to  Purchaser  pursuant  hereto and or (ii) such time as the  material
benefits  intended to be  transferred or assigned to Purchaser  pursuant  hereto
have been procured by  alternative  means pursuant to Section  5.9(d),  (A) such
Non-Transferable  Asset  shall be held by Sellers in trust  exclusively  for the
benefit  of  Purchaser,  and (B)  Sellers  shall  cooperate  in any good  faith,
reasonable arrangement designed to provide or cause to be provided for Purchaser
the material  benefits intended to be transferred or assigned to Purchaser under
such Non-Transferable Asset and, in furtherance thereof, to the extent permitted
under the terms of such  Non-Transferable  Asset  and under  applicable  law (1)
Purchaser  shall perform and discharge all of the  liabilities  of Sellers under
the terms of such  Non-Transferable  Asset in effect as of the  Closing  and (2)
Sellers  shall use  commercially  reasonable  efforts  to provide or cause to be
provided to  Purchaser  all of the  benefits of Sellers  under the terms of such
Non-Transferable Asset in effect as of the Closing,  including,  but not limited
to,  promptly  paying to Purchaser any monies received by Sellers from and after
the Closing under such Non-Transferable Asset.

         (d) In the event that  Sellers is unable to obtain any  consent  from a
third Person, as requested by Purchaser,  under any Non-Transferable Asset after
the Closing Date through the use of commercially  reasonable efforts,  Purchaser
shall be entitled, but not required, to procure the material rights and benefits
of Sellers  under the terms of such  Non-Transferable  Asset in effect as of the
Closing by alternative means,  including,  without limitation,  by entering into
new Contracts with third parties or otherwise;  provided,  however,  that in the
event that  Purchaser  shall  exercise its rights  under this Section  5.9(d) in
respect of any Non-Transferable  Asset, the obligations of Sellers under Section
5.9(c) in respect  of such  Non-Transferable  Asset  shall  thereupon  cease and
expire.

                                       23
<PAGE>

         (e) Seller and Purchaser  agree that if they are not able to obtain the
consent of a landlord to a Lease Assignment,  Closing shall still take place and
the  provisions  of this  Section  5.9(e)  shall  govern.  As to any Leased Real
Property for which the landlord will not consent to a Lease Assignment, MCW will
not assign the  applicable  Lease to  Purchaser at Closing but will instead hire
Purchaser  to manage  the  Leased  Real  Property  under a  Management  Contract
acceptable  to MCW and  Purchaser.  The  Management  Contract  shall provide the
following in addition to any other terms  agreed upon by Purchaser  and MCW: (a)
Purchaser shall pay all costs and expenses of operating the Location,  including
payments due under the applicable  lease, (b) Purchaser shall retain all revenue
generated from the Location, (c) the Management Contract may be terminated only,
if Purchaser defaults under the lease of the Location or under the provisions of
the Management  Contract or fails to pay the  Promissory  Note when due, and (d)
Purchaser shall indemnify MCW from and any and all costs and expenses, including
legal fees and court costs  related,  or  attributable  to the  Location and the
lease for the Location.

         Section 5.10 No Solicitation or Negotiation.

         (a) From and after the execution and delivery of this  Agreement  until
the earlier to occur of the Closing or termination of this Agreement pursuant to
its terms,  MSI shall not, nor will it authorize or permit any of its directors,
officers or other  employees,  controlled  Affiliates or any investment  banker,
attorney or other advisor,  representative  or agent retained by it to, directly
or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, encourage or induce the making, submission
of a transaction (whether in the form of a merger, consolidation,  asset sale or
other form of transaction)  for the acquisition of any Locations or the Car Wash
Business (an "Acquisition Transaction") by any Person other than Purchaser, (ii)
participate or engage in any  discussions or  negotiations  with any such Person
regarding  an  Acquisition  Transaction,  (iii)  furnish to any such  Person any
information  relating to the  Companies or the Assets,  or afford  access to the
business,  properties,  assets,  books or records of the  Companies  to any such
Person that has made or could  reasonably  be  expected  to make an  Acquisition
Transaction,  or (iv) take any other action intended to assist or facilitate any
inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or could reasonably be
expected  to lead to,  an  Acquisition  Transaction,  (v)  approve,  endorse  or
recommend an Acquisition Transaction, or (vi) enter into any letter of intent or
similar  agreement   contemplating  or  otherwise  relating  to  an  Acquisition
Transaction.

         Section 5.11 Sellers Covenant Not to Compete.

         (a) In partial  consideration  of the  payment of the  Purchase  Price,
Sellers  covenant  and agree that for a period of one year  commencing  upon the
Closing Date,  Sellers shall not,  directly or indirectly,  (i) engage in, carry
on,  manage,  operate,  perform or control the  management or operation of a car
wash in any portion of the  territories  in which Car Wash Business is presently
located (the  "Restricted  Territory"),  or (ii) own any equity  interest in any
Person that is engaged in, carries on, manages,  operates,  performs or controls
the  management  or  operations  of car  wash or  truck  wash in the  Restricted
Territory.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provision of Section 5.11(a),  Sellers
may engage in, carry on, manage,  operate,  perform or control the management or
operation of any Location that Purchaser does not acquire under this Agreement.

                                       24
<PAGE>

         (b) Purchaser and Sellers  acknowledge  and agree that  compliance with
the covenants  contained in this Section 5.11 is necessary to protect  Purchaser
and  that a  breach  of any  such  covenant  would  result  in  irreparable  and
continuing  damage for which there would be no adequate  remedy at law.  Sellers
agree that in the event of any  adjudicated  breach of such covenant,  Purchaser
shall be entitled to injunctive  relief and to such other and further  relief as
is  proper  under the  circumstances.  If any  court of  competent  jurisdiction
determines any of the foregoing  covenants to be  unenforceable  with respect to
the term  thereof  or the  scope of the  subject  matter  or  geography  covered
thereby,  then such covenant  shall  nonetheless  be  enforceable  by such court
against  Sellers or other relevant  Person upon such shorter term or within such
lesser scope as may be determined by the court to be reasonable and enforceable.

         (c) Sellers further covenant and agrees that, without the prior written
consent of Purchaser, Sellers will not, for a period of one year commencing upon
the Closing  Date,  solicit for  employment,  as an  employee,  officer,  agent,
consultant,  advisor,  or in any other  capacity  whatsoever,  any  then-current
employee of the Car Wash  Business or any person who has been an employee of the
Car Wash Business at any time within the six month period  preceding  such time.
As used herein, "solicit" means contact or communicate in any manner whatsoever,
including,  but  not  limited  to,  contacts  or  communications  by or  through
intermediaries, agents, contractors, representatives, or other parties, provided
that nothing  herein  shall be  construed  to prohibit  Sellers from (i) placing
advertisements  for  employment  that are  aimed at the  public  at large in any
newspaper,  trade magazine, or other periodical in general circulation,  or (ii)
responding  to any  unsolicited  inquiry by any  Purchaser  employee  concerning
employment.

which  were  delivered  to the  Purchaser  in  accordance  with  this  Agreement
("Records").  Access to the records shall be during normal  working hours at the
location  where such Records are stored.  The Sellers  shall have the right,  at
their own expense,  to make copies of any Records  provided,  however,  that any
such  access  or  copying  shall  be had or done in such a  manner  so as not to
interfere  unreasonably with the normal conduct of the Purchaser's business. For
a period of eighteen  years  after the Closing  Date,  the  Purchaser  shall not

Receivable,  it shall  promptly  remit the  payments to MSI.  Purchaser  further
agrees to aid MSI in the  collection  of the  Accounts  Receivable  by providing
updated  information  on current  customers  of  Purchaser  who are also account
debtors on the Accounts  Receivable and by encouraging its current  customers to
pay any Accounts  Receivable  they owe. Seller is not obligated to institute any
type of legal or collection procedure.

         Section 9.3 Procedure for  Indemnification  with Respect to Third Party
Claims.

         (a) If any third  party  shall  notify a party to this  Agreement  (the
"Indemnified Party") with respect to any matter (a "Third Party Claim") that may
give  rise to a claim  for  indemnification  against  any  other  party  to this
Agreement (the "Indemnifying Party") under this Article IX, then the Indemnified
Party  shall  promptly  notify  each  Indemnifying  Party  thereof  in  writing;
provided,  however,  that no  delay  on the  part of the  Indemnified  Party  in
notifying any Indemnifying  Party shall relieve the Indemnifying  Party from any
obligation  hereunder  unless (and then  solely to the extent) the  Indemnifying
Party is thereby prejudiced. Such notice shall state the amount of the claim and
the relevant details thereof.

         (b)  Any  Indemnifying   Party  will  have  the  right  to  defend  the
Indemnified  Party  against  the Third  Party  Claim with  counsel of its choice
reasonably  satisfactory  to the Indemnified  Party so long as the  Indemnifying
Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) business days
after the  Indemnified  Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the
Indemnifying  Party  will  indemnify  the  Indemnified  Party,  pursuant  to the
provisions of Article IX.

         (c) So long as the Indemnifying  Party is conducting the defense of the
Third Party Claim in accordance  with Section 9.3(b) above,  (i) the Indemnified
Party  may  retain  separate  co-counsel  at  its  sole  cost  and  expense  and
participate in (but not control) the defense of the Third Party Claim,  (ii) the
Indemnified  Party will not  consent to the entry of any  judgment or enter into
any  settlement  with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written
consent of the Indemnifying Party (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and
(iii) the  Indemnifying  Party will not consent to the entry of any  judgment or
enter into any  settlement  with  respect to the Third Party  Claim  without the
prior written consent of the  Indemnified  Party (which will not be unreasonably
withheld).  In the case of  (c)(ii)  or  (c)(iii)  above,  any such  consent  to
judgment or settlement  shall include,  as an  unconditional  term thereof,  the
release of the Indemnifying Party from all liability in connection therewith.

         (d) If any  condition  set forth in Section  9.3(b) above is or becomes
unsatisfied,  (i) the Indemnified  Party may defend against,  and consent to the
entry of any  judgment or enter into any  settlement  with respect to, the Third
Party Claim and any matter it may deem  appropriate  and the  Indemnified  Party
need not consult  with, or obtain any consent from,  any  Indemnifying  Party in
connection therewith, (ii) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified
Party  promptly and  periodically  for the cost of  defending  against the Third
Party Claim (including reasonable  attorneys' fees and expenses),  and (iii) the
Indemnifying  Party will remain  responsible  for any adverse  consequences  the
Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the
nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent  provided in
this Article IX.

         Section 9.4  Procedure  for  Non-Third  Party  Claims.  If Purchaser or
Sellers wish to make a claim for indemnity  under Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, as
applicable, and the claim does not arise out of a third party notification which
makes  the   provisions   of  Section  9.3   applicable,   the  party   desiring
indemnification  ("Indemnified  Party")  shall deliver to the parties from which
indemnification   is  sought   ("Indemnifying   Party")  a  written  demand  for
indemnification  ("Indemnification  Demand").  The Indemnification  Demand shall
state: (a) the amount of losses, damages or expenses which the Indemnified Party
has  incurred  or has  suffered  or is  expected to incur or suffer to which the
Indemnified  Party is  entitled  to  indemnification  pursuant to Section 9.1 or
Section 9.2, as applicable;  and (b) the nature of the event or occurrence which
entitles the  Indemnified  Party to receive payment under Section 9.1 or Section
9.2,  as  applicable.   If  the  Indemnifying  Party  wishes  to  object  to  an
Indemnification  Demand,  the Indemnifying Party must send written notice to the
Indemnified  Party  stating the  objections  and the grounds for the  objections
("Indemnification  Objection").  If no Indemnification  Objection is sent within
forty-five (45) days after the Indemnification  Demand is sent, the Indemnifying
Party  shall be  deemed to have  acknowledged  the  correctness  of the claim or
claims  specified  in the  Indemnification  Demand and shall pay the full amount
claimed  in the  Indemnification  Demand  within  sixty (60) days of the day the
Indemnification  Demand is dated. If for any reason the Indemnifying  Party does
not pay the amounts claimed in the Indemnification  Demand, within sixty days of
the  Indemnification  Demand's date, the  Indemnified  Party may institute legal
proceedings to enforce  payment of the  indemnification  claim  contained in the
Indemnification  Demand  and  any  other  claim  for  indemnification  that  the
Indemnified Party may have.

         Section 9.5 Survival of Claims.

         (a) All of the respective  representations,  warranties and obligations
of the parties to this Agreement shall survive  consummation of the transactions
contemplated  by this  Agreement  for eighteen  months from the Closing Date and
shall thereafter expire and be of no force and effect;  provided,  however, that
the  representations  and warranties in Sections 1.6, 3.1, 3.2, 3.15,  3.17, 4.1
and 4.2 shall survive four years from the Closing Date.

         (b)  Notwithstanding  the  provisions of Section  9.5(a)  above,  which
provide that  representations,  warranties and obligations  expire after certain
stated periods of time, if within the stated period of time, an  Indemnification
Demand is given,  or a suit or action based upon  representation  or warranty is
commenced, the Indemnified Party shall not be precluded from pursuing such claim
or action,  or from recovering from the Indemnifying  Party (whether through the
courts or otherwise) on the claim or action,  by reason of the expiration of the
representation or warranty.

         Section 9.6 Prompt Payment.  In the event that any party is required to
make any  payment  under this  Article IX,  such party  shall  promptly  pay the
Indemnifying Party the amount so determined.  If there should be a dispute as to
the amount or manner of  determination  of any indemnity  obligation  owed under
this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall,  nevertheless,  pay when due such
portion,  if any,  of the  obligation  as shall not be subject to  dispute.  The
portion in dispute shall be paid upon a final and  non-appealable  resolution of
such  dispute.  Upon the payment in full of any claim,  the  Indemnifying  Party
shall be  subrogated to the rights of the  Indemnified  Party against any person
with respect to the subject matter of such claim.

         Section 9.7 Limitation of Liability.  Notwithstanding  anything in this
Agreement to the  contrary,  the liability  and  obligations  of Sellers for the
indemnification set forth in Section 9.1, shall be limited to Five Million Eight
Hundred  Thousand Dollars  ($5,800,000).  Such limitation shall not apply to any
liabilities  and  obligations  excluded from the Assets  pursuant to Section 1.7
hereof.

         Section 9.8  Casualty and Condemnation.

         (a) The risk of loss or damage to the  Assets  until the day of closing
is  retained  by Seller.  If any damage  occurs to the Assets  prior to closing,
Purchaser  proceed to closing  and, if not  repaired by Seller prior to Closing,
deduct from the Purchase  Price the amount which will be required to repair such
damage less the insurance proceeds turned over to Purchaser under the provisions
of Section 5.2.

         (b) If any eminent domain or condemnation  proceeding pertaining to all
or any portion of the  Locations is  threatened  or  commenced  prior to closing
(including,  but not limited to those listed on Schedule 3.5(g)), there shall be
no  disposition  or  settlement  thereof  without the prior  written  consent of
Purchaser,  and  Purchaser at its sole option  shall  proceed to Closing and the
proceeds  to be  received by Seller  from such  condemnation  or eminent  domain
proceeding  shall be turned over or assigned to Purchaser.  Seller shall make no
settlement  of, nor enter into any  agreements  relating to,  eminent  domain or
condemnation   proceedings  following  execution  of  this  Agreement,   without
Purchaser's consent.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                Other Provisions

         Section 10.1  Nondisclosure  by  Purchaser.  Purchaser  recognizes  and
acknowledges  that it has in the past,  currently  has, and prior to the Closing
Date, will have access to certain confidential  information of Sellers,  such as
lists of customers, operational policies, and pricing and cost policies that are
valuable, special and unique assets of the Sellers. Purchaser agrees that, for a
period  of one (1)  year  from  the  date  hereof,  it  will  not  utilize  such
information in the business or operation of Purchaser,  or any of its affiliates
or disclose such  confidential  information  to any person,  firm,  corporation,
association,  or other entity for any purpose or reason  whatsoever,  unless (i)
such  information  becomes  known to the  public  generally  through no fault of
Purchaser or any of its affiliates, (ii) Purchaser is compelled to disclose such
information by a governmental entity or pursuant to a court proceeding, or (iii)
Closing takes place (provided,  however, that after Closing Purchaser will abide
by any  legally  binding  contractual  duties  of  non-disclosure  owed to third
parties  from whom  assets were  purchased  by the  Company).  In the event of a
breach or threatened breach by Purchaser of the provisions of this Section 10.1,
Sellers shall be entitled to an injunction  restraining Purchaser from utilizing
or  disclosing,  in whole or in part,  such  confidential  information.  Nothing
contained  herein shall be construed as  prohibiting  Sellers from  pursuing any
other available remedy for such breach or threatened breach, including,  without
limitation, the recovery of damages.

         Section 10.3 Assignment;  Binding Effect; Amendment. This Agreement and
the rights and  obligations  of the parties  hereunder  may not be assigned  and
shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto,  the
successors  of Purchaser and the Sellers.  This  Agreement,  upon  execution and
delivery,  constitutes  a valid and  binding  agreement  of the  parties  hereto
enforceable in accordance  with its terms and may be modified or amended only by
a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.

         Section 10.10  Severability.  In case any  provision of this  Agreement
shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall, to the extent possible, be
modified in such  manner as to be valid,  legal and  enforceable  but so as most

possible,  such provision shall be severed from this  Agreement.  In either case
the validity,  legality and  enforceability of the remaining  provisions of this
Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

their respective  successors,  heirs, legal  representative and assigns,  nor is
anything in this  Agreement  intended to relieve or discharge the  obligation or
liability  of any third  persons to any party to this  Agreement,  nor shall any
provisions  give any third  person any rights of  subrogation  or action over or
against any party to this Agreement.

         Section 10.14  Disclosure on Schedules.  The parties to this  Agreement
shall have the obligation to supplement or amend the Schedules  being  delivered

incorporated  herein with respect to any matter hereafter  arising or discovered
which,  if  existing  or known at the date of this  Agreement,  would  have been

time as the Liens and Encumbrances reflected in Schedule 2.10, (except with
respect to the mechanic's liens which have not been reduced to judgment), have
been released and the Purchaser has been provided with written confirmation,
acceptable to Purchaser, from a reputable title examiner/search firm, that none
of the lawsuits reflected in Schedule 2.19 have created a lien against any of
the Assets and the leasehold interest in the Real Property, that no additional
liens or claims have been filed against the Assets and the leasehold interest in
the Real Property and that all liens and encumbrances have been released, other
than Mechanic's Liens which have not been reduced to judgment. At such time as
the Purchaser has received such acceptable written assurance that all such liens
and encumbrances have been released, or have not attached, and that no new liens
and claims have been filed, Purchaser shall deliver the Purchase Price to Seller
and Purchaser's counsel shall deliver the documents to the parties entitled

to judgment) within ten (10) days from the Seller's and Purchaser's delivery of
the documents required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 6.10 and 7.5, or

prior to the Closing will deliver, to Purchaser an accurate list and summary
description of all of the Tangible Personal Property. All items of the Tangible
Personal Property shall be sold "AS IS" with no warranties of any kind with

on the Real Property (the "Seller's Facilities") are in good condition

Business as presently conducted by Seller. To Seller's knowledge, Seller's use

other such conditions of record impair Seller's use of the Seller's Facilities

other improvements located on the Real Property are accessible by public roads,
and during the two (2) year period prior to the date hereof, Seller has not

existing or threatened lawsuit by which any party claims an interest in any
portion of the Real Property.

other Sections(s) of this Agreement to which such recitations reasonably relate,
as, to the extent, and subject to the qualifications and limitations, set forth

      2.24 Accuracy of Representations and Warranties. The representations and
warranties made by Seller including the Schedules attached hereto, or in any
document or certificate furnished or to be furnished by Seller pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, or any information contained in such documents or
certificates do not contain, and will not contain, any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements and information contained herein or therein not misleading. Such
representations and warranties are true and correct on the date hereof and shall
be true and correct in all respects at the time of the Closing.

                            TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

      9.1 General. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions
contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

            (a) by mutual written consent of the parties hereto at any time
      prior to the Closing;

            (b) by Purchaser, upon delivery of written notice to Seller, in the
      event of a material breach by Seller of any provision of this Agreement,
      including any of the their respective covenants, warranties or
      representations contained herein, which breach remains uncured for at
      least ten (10) days after Purchaser provides written notice of such breach
      to Seller;

            (c) by Seller, upon delivery of written notice to Purchaser, in the
      event of a material breach by Purchaser of any provision of this
      Agreement, including any of its covenants, warranties or representations
      contained herein, which breach remains uncured for at least ten (10) days
      after Seller provides written notice of such breach to Purchaser; or

            (d) by Purchaser or Seller, upon delivery of written notice to the
      other party or parties, as appropriate, if the Closing shall not have
      occurred on or before the Outside Closing Date, provided that the party or
      parties delivering such notice shall not have caused such failure to
      close.

      9.2 Effect of Termination. Except for the provisions of Section 5.1 and
Section 11.2, which shall survive any termination hereof, in the event of
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement shall
forthwith become void and of no further force and effect, and the parties shall
be released from any and all obligations hereunder; provided, however, that
nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for the willful breach of
any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in
this Agreement.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

      10.1 Indemnification Agreement. Seller and Parent jointly and severally
agree to indemnify, save, hold harmless and insure Purchaser and each of its
shareholders, directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents and affiliates
from and against, and reimburse each of them for, any and all expenses, losses,
costs, deficiencies, liabilities and damages (including, but not limited to,
related reasonable attorney and paralegal fees and costs) incurred or suffered
by Purchaser (collectively, "Indemnifiable Damages") arising out of, relating
to, or resulting from (i) any inaccuracy in, any breach of, or any default of,
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this
Agreement, including the Schedules attached hereto, or in any agreement,
document or other papers delivered pursuant hereto, (ii) any liability or
obligation (including, but not limited to, any federal, state, county, or other
tax or assessment of any kind whatsoever, plus any interest and penalties

                                       17

thereon), whether absolute or contingent, known or unknown, arising from or
otherwise related to the Business, the Assets or the Real Property, which
existed as of the Closing and that arises out of, relates to, or results from
any facts or circumstances that existed or took place prior to the Closing,
other than obligations under the Contracts that arise from and after the
Closing, (iii) any lawsuit or other proceeding or claim brought by any third
party against Purchaser or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
shareholders, successors and assigns, which arises out of, relates to, or
results from any acts or omissions that took place in the course of, or
otherwise in connection with, the Business prior to the Closing. The right of
Purchaser to make a claim for Indemnifiable Damages for a breach of any of the
agreements, covenants, representations and warranties made by the Seller in this
Agreement or pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing of this Agreement for a
period of two years. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, Seller and
Parent acknowledge and agree to indemnify and defend Purchaser with respect to
any claim or demand which is asserted by Tennessee Tire Recyclers, Tom Carter or
any affiliate or successor thereof with respect to a claim for breach of any
right of first refusal or option.

      10.2 Right to Control Disputes. Purchaser shall provide Seller with prompt
written notice of any third party claim that could reasonably lead to a claim
for Indemnifiable Damages hereunder. At the election of Seller and/or Parent,
and provided Seller and Parent agree, in writing, to indemnify Purchaser, Seller
and/or Parent shall have the exclusive right, at their sole expense, to defend
against any such third-party claim and, after notification to Purchaser that
Seller and/or Parent has elected to indemnify Purchaser and defend Purchaser
against such claim, neither Seller nor Parent shall have any liability or
obligation to reimburse or indemnify Purchaser for any of Purchaser's own
attorneys' fees and expenses in connection with such defense. Under such
circumstances, Purchaser may participate in such defense at its own expense,
provided that Seller and/or Parent shall control such defense and shall be
liable for Indemnifiable Damages resulting therefrom.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                                      COSTS

      11.1 Finder's or Broker's Fees. Each of Seller and Purchaser represents
and warrants to and for the benefit of the other that neither has dealt with any
broker or finder and no such person is entitled to any commission or finder's
fee in connection with any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

      11.2 Closing Expenses. Seller shall pay for the cost of recording any
Closing documents that are to be recorded, such as any satisfactions of
mortgage. Purchaser shall be responsible for any sales tax due with respect to
the transfer of title of any motor vehicles pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. The parties shall each be responsible for their own respective
professional fees and other costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred by
them, respectively, in negotiating and preparing this Agreement and in closing
and carrying out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE XII
