properties, business, prospects, profits or condition (financial or otherwise)
of the Company, except that Denmark makes no representation or warranty as to
the effect of general economic conditions, the condition of the financial
markets, future legislation or future regulatory action. There has been no

has no material liabilities or obligations of any kind, whether accrued,
absolute, contingent or otherwise, whether or not such liabilities or
obligations would have been required to be disclosed on a balance sheet prepared
in conformity with GAAP. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to
the best of Denmark's knowledge, Denmark has no liability (and there is no basis
for any present or future charge, complaint, action, suit, proceeding, hearing,
investigation, claim or demand against it giving rise to any liability) arising
out of any injury to persons or property as a result of the ownership,
possession or use of any product manufactured, sold, leased or delivered by
Denmark or any of its dealers or representatives.

any kind or character, that materially adversely affects the business practices,
operations or condition of the Company or any of its assets or property, or that

compliance by Denmark with the terms, conditions and provisions hereof or
thereof or the continued operation of the Company's business after the date

such proprietary rights in connection with its business as presently being

the rights of any third party. To the best of Denmark's knowledge, all
Proprietary Rights of the Company are free from any claim of others, security
interest, lien, encumbrance or restriction, there is no default with respect
thereto on the part of the Company, and such Proprietary Rights have not been
and are not now being challenged in any way or involved in any pending or
threatened infringement, unfair competition or other proceeding. To the best of
Denmark's knowledge, the Company is not infringing the rights of any other
Person with respect to any Proprietary Right and has not received any claim of
any such infringement or violation. To the best of Denmark's knowledge, none of
the rights of the Company to any Proprietary Right will be impaired in any way
by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

payments (including interest and penalties thereon) due or to become due from
the Company with respect to its employee income tax withholding, social security
taxes and unemployment taxes (or comparable or similar taxes or charges) for any

benefit plans (collectively, the "Plans") maintained by the Company, in which it

have any liability. Except for the Plans, the Company does not have in effect,
participate in, or have any liability for any plan, fund or program as defined
in Section III(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), and does not have an obligation to establish any such plan, fund or
program. Denmark has furnished Weststar with true

                                       9
<PAGE>

and complete copies of all of the Plans and the latest financial statements
therefor, which fairly represent the financial condition of the Plans at such
dates. There have been no materially adverse changes to any of the Plans since
the date of the latest financial statements. There is not outstanding any
request for information concerning the Plans by participants, beneficiaries or
government agencies. Neither the Company nor the Plans have been involved in any
transaction that would constitute a "prohibited transaction" within the meaning
of Sections 503 and 4975 of the Code or ERISA Section 406. None of the Plans has
any "accumulated funding deficiency" as described in Code Section 412, and all
required contributions to the Plans for the period through the Closing Date have
been made. All Plans are in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA,
the regulations issued thereunder and all other applicable statutes and
regulations. The Plans have been maintained and administered in accordance with
their separate terms. Each Plan has been issued a determination letter by the
IRS that it is qualified under Code Section 401(a) and its trust fund is exempt
from taxation under Code Section 501(a). All information submitted with the
request for such determination letters was true and accurate in all material
respects, all material information required to have been submitted to the IRS
was submitted, and no event has occurred with respect to any Plan that would
cause the loss of such qualification. Each trust fund established for any
medical or disability plan has been issued a determination letter by the IRS
that it is exempt from taxation under Code Section 501(c)(9), and no event has
occurred with respect to any such Plan that would cause the loss of such
qualification. None of the Plans has experienced a "reportable event" as
described in ERISA Section 4043(b) or is experiencing any condition that may
constitute grounds under ERISA Section 4042 for the termination of such Plan or
the appointment of a trustee to administer such Plan. The Company has not (i)
contributed or been required to contribute to any "multi-employer pension plan,"
as that term is defined in ERISA Section III(37)(A), or (ii) incurred any
withdrawal liability under subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA or has withdrawn from
any multi-employer pension plan in any manner that could result in any liability
to the Company.

         4.17 CONDUCT OF BUSINESS. Between December 31, 1999, and the date of
this Agreement, the business of the Company has been conducted only in the
ordinary course and there has occurred no materially adverse change or, to the

materially adverse change, in the condition (financial or otherwise), assets,
liabilities, business, operations or affairs of the Company.

     4.38 INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION. The Note and the WEI Shares (collectively,
the "Weststar Securities") are being acquired for the account of Denmark and not
with a view to, nor for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and
without any present intention of selling the same. The Weststar Securities will
not be sold or otherwise disposed of in the absence of a registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), covering
the Note or the WEI Shares, respectively, or an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act.

     Denmark hereby acknowledges that (i) the Weststar Securities may not be
sold or otherwise transferred unless they are registered under the Securities
Act or an exemption from such registration is available; (ii) any sales of the
Weststar Securities made in reliance upon Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act can be made only in accordance with the terms and conditions

                                       14
<PAGE>

of Rule 144 and, further, that if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of such
securities under circumstances in which Denmark or the person through whom the
sale is made may be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term is defined in the
Securities Act, may require compliance with some other exemption under the
Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission or other governmental authority substituted therefor; and (iii)
Weststar is under no obligation to register any of the Weststar Securities under
the Securities Act or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption
thereunder.

     The instruments evidencing the Weststar Securities may bear a restrictive
legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be
placed against transfer thereof):

         THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY WERE NOT REGISTERED UNDER, AND ARE
         SUBJECT TO, THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "1933 ACT"),
         AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED, AND THE COMPANY IS NOT
         REQUIRED TO GIVE EFFECT TO ANY ATTEMPTED SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT,
         EXCEPT (I) PURSUANT TO A CURRENT REGISTRATION UNDER THE 1933 ACT; (II)
         IN A TRANSACTION PERMITTED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE 1933 ACT AND AS TO
         WHICH THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED REASONABLY SATISFACTORY EVIDENCE OF
         COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF RULE 144; OR (III) UPON RECEIPT OF A
         LEGAL OPINION RENDERED BY COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
         COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT THE TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE
         REGISTRATION UNDER THE 1933 ACT.

     If a legal opinion complying with clause (iii) of the legend set forth
above indicates that the legend and stop-transfer order may be removed, Weststar
will substitute unlegended instruments for and remove the stop-transfer order
from the instruments described in the opinion.

     In connection with any Weststar IPO (as defined in Section 10.8 hereof) or
any other offering involving an underwriting of shares being issued by Weststar,
Weststar shall not be required to include any of the WEI Shares in such
underwritings unless other similarly situated shareholders of Weststar are being
permitted to include some or all of their shares in the underwritings, in which
case Denmark shall be permitted to include some or all of the WEI Shares on an
equivalent basis; HOWEVER, should Weststar agree to include a portion of the WEI
shares in such underwriting, following Denmark's request to do so, Denmark must
accept the terms of the underwriting (to the extent applicable to the WEI
Shares) as agreed upon between Weststar and the underwriters selected by
Weststar (all costs of registering the WEI Shares shall be borne by Weststar).
Furthermore, in connection with any registration of the WEI Shares, Denmark
agrees, if requested by Weststar or the underwriters managing any underwritten
offering of the WEI Shares, not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any
option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any of the WEI Shares (other
than that included in the registration) without the prior written consent of
Weststar or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time after
the effective date of such registration as Weststar or the underwriters may
specify, which, in any event, shall be a minimum of twelve (12) months following
any Weststar IPO; but in any event, shall be no longer than the time period
required by

                                       15
<PAGE>

the underwriter for similarly situated shareholders of Weststar. Denmark shall

directly or indirectly, by the corporation in question.

     VVI SHARES. "VVI Shares" shall have the meaning assigned to it in the
Preliminary Statement.

     WEI SHARES. "WEI Shares" shall mean 83,333 shares of Purchaser's common
stock, $.001 par value (valued at $6.00 per share), provided by Purchaser in the
aggregate to Sellers as a portion of the Purchase Price, having an aggregate,
agreed-upon value of $500,000.00.

                            ARTICLE 2 - SALE OF STOCK

     2.1 PURCHASE AND DELIVERY OF THE VVI SHARES. At the Closing, Sellers shall
sell and deliver the VVI Shares, and Purchaser shall purchase and accept the VVI
Shares, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.

     2.2 PURCHASE PRICE. The Purchase Price for the VVI Shares shall be
approximately $1,350,000.00, adjusted as provided hereinbelow in this Section
2.2. In full consideration for the purchase by Purchaser of the VVI Shares,
Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers at the Closing (i) immediately available
funds in an amount equal to approximately $850,000.00 (adjusted as provided
hereinbelow in this Section 2.2) (referred to as the "Cash Portion of the
Purchase Price"), and (ii) the WEI Shares (valued at $6.00 per share). The
aggregate of the Purchase Price and the amount of Company Debt at the time of
Closing shall equal $2,250,000.00, plus an adjustment for any increase or
decrease in the Company's net book value as of the closest month-end that is not
less than fifteen (15) days prior to Closing compared to the Company's net book
value existing at December 31, 1999, as reflected in its audited year-end
financials (the "NBV Adjustment"). The Purchase Price for the VVI Shares shall
be reduced or increased dollar for dollar for (i) any Debt of the Company
existing as of the Closing Date, in excess of or less than $900,000.00, as the
case may be, and (ii) the NBV Adjustment; accordingly, as the value of the WEI
Shares is agreed upon to be $500,000.00, any adjustment in the Purchase Price
shall be reflected in the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price. (E.g., if the
aggregate Debt of the Company at Closing is equal to $940,000.00, the Purchase
Price of the VVI Shares shall be $1,310,000.00, which shall be represented by
the WEI Shares and the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price equal to $810,000.00;
in the alternative, if the aggregate Debt of the Company is equal to
$860,000.00, the Purchase Price of the VVI Shares shall be $1,390,000.00, which
shall be represented by the WEI Shares and the Cash Portion of the Purchase
Price equal to $890,000.00. The foregoing example would then take into
consideration the NBV Adjustment.) In addition to the foregoing,

                                       3

<PAGE>

the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price required to be delivered at Closing shall
be reduced by the earnest money payments made by Purchaser to Sellers, as
described in Section 2.4 hereof.

     2.3 ADDITIONAL ACTIONS AT CLOSING. In addition to the purchase and sale of
the VVI Shares, at Closing, Purchaser and Joseph Duke shall enter into the
Employment Agreement.

     2.4 EARNEST MONEY PAYMENTS. In order to induce Sellers to enter into this
Agreement and to proceed diligently to Closing, Purchaser has paid Sellers
$25,000 in cash on January 21, 2000, $8,333 in cash on April 28, 2000, $8,333 on
May 20, 2000, and $8,333 on June 20, 2000. In addition, if the Closing has not
occurred prior to July 31, 2000, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers in cash an
additional $25,000, which then also shall adjust the Cash Portion of the
Purchase Price to be delivered at Closing. So long as Sellers proceed to Closing
diligently and in good faith, and so long as the transactions described in this
Agreement shall not have been terminated due to the actions of Purchaser, all of
the payments to Sellers specified in this Section 2.4 are nonrefundable and
Sellers shall have no obligation to refund these payments to the Purchaser. All
earnest money payments described in this Section 2.4 shall be credited towards
the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price, thereby reducing the amount of cash
required by Purchaser at Closing.

                               ARTICLE 3 - CLOSING

     3.1 CLOSING. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions

notice or the passage of time or both, conflict with or result in a breach or

     4.7 INFORMATION FURNISHED BY SELLERS TO PURCHASER. There is no fact that
the Sellers have not disclosed herein that materially and adversely affects the
properties, business, prospects, profits or condition (financial or otherwise)
of the Company, except that Sellers make no representation or warranty as to the
effect of general economic conditions, the condition of the financial markets,
future legislation or future regulatory action. There has been no materially
adverse change in the assets or liabilities, the business or condition,

other restriction of any kind or character (other than laws and regulations
generally applicable to similar businesses), that materially adversely affects
the business practices, operations or condition of the Company or any of its
assets or property, or that would prevent consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, compliance by Sellers with the terms, conditions
and provisions hereof or thereof or the continued operation of the Company's
business after the date hereof on substantially the same basis as heretofore
operated.

     4.11 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. The Company is and at all times has been in

know-how and other proprietary rights and applications therefor and
registrations thereof that are material to the conduct of the business of the
Company (collectively, "Proprietary Rights"). The Company has a right to use
such proprietary rights in connection with its business as presently being
conducted, and no claim has been made against the Company that such use violates
the rights of any third party. To the best of Sellers' knowledge, all
Proprietary Rights of the Company are free from any claim of others, security
interest, lien, encumbrance or restriction, there is no default with respect
thereto on the part of the Company, and such Proprietary Rights have not been
and are not now being challenged in any way or involved in any pending or
threatened infringement, unfair competition or other proceeding. To the best of
Sellers' knowledge, the Company is not infringing the rights of any other Person

infringement or violation. To the best of Sellers' knowledge, none of the rights
of the Company to any Proprietary Right will be impaired in any way by the

     (a) The Company (i) has duly and timely filed with the appropriate
governmental authorities all tax returns and reports required to be filed and
(ii) has duly paid all taxes, interest, penalties, assessments and deficiencies
and other governmental charges which are due and payable upon it and its
properties, assets, income, business, sales and payrolls, including all amounts
assessed as additional taxes, penalties and interest.

     (b) The Company has not been audited by the IRS during the past five (5)
years. The Company has not executed or filed with the IRS or any other taxing
authority any agreement extending the period for assessment or collection of any
income or other taxes.

     (c) The Company is not a party to any pending action or proceeding nor, to
the best of Sellers' knowledge, is any action or proceeding threatened by any
governmental authority for assessment or collection of taxes, and, to the best
of Sellers' knowledge following diligent review, no claim for assessment or
collection of taxes has been asserted against the Company.

     (d) To the best of Sellers' knowledge following diligent review, the
Company has withheld proper and accurate amounts from its employees in full and
complete compliance with all withholding and similar provisions of the Code and
any and all other applicable United States, foreign, state or local laws,
statutes, codes, ordinances, rules and regulations. To the best of Sellers'
knowledge following diligent review, the Company has timely filed the proper
federal, foreign, state and local returns, reports and estimates with respect to
employee income tax withholding, social security taxes and unemployment taxes
(or comparable or similar taxes or charges) for all years and periods (or
portions thereof) for which such returns and reports were due, and any and all
amounts that were due and payable have been paid in full. All payments
(including interest and penalties thereon) due and payable from the Company with
respect to its employee income tax withholding, social security taxes and
unemployment taxes (or comparable or similar taxes or charges) for any year or
period (or portions thereof) ended on or prior to or including the Closing Date,
have been paid in full.

     4.15 UNION CONTRACTS AND LABOR RELATIONS. The Company is not a party to any
collective bargaining or union agreement and there is no (i) labor strike,
dispute, grievance, controversy or other labor trouble pending or, to the best
knowledge of Sellers, threatened that may materially affect the Company, (ii)
application for certification of a collective bargaining agent pending or, to
the knowledge of Sellers, threatened or (iii) complaint pending or, to the
knowledge of Sellers, threatened or on file with any federal, state or local
governmental agencies alleging employment discrimination.

     4.16 EMPLOYEES/EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. SCHEDULE 4.16 sets forth a correct
and complete list of all current employees of the Company, and all employee
benefit plans (collectively, the "Plans") maintained by the Company, in which it
participates or may be required to participate or in respect of which it may
have any liability. Except for the Plans, the Company does not have in effect,
participate in, or have any liability for any plan, fund or program as defined
in Section III(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), and does not have an

                                       9

<PAGE>

obligation to establish any such plan, fund or program. Sellers have furnished
Purchaser with true and complete copies of all of the Plans and the latest
financial statements therefor, which fairly represent the financial condition of
the Plans at such dates. There have been no materially adverse changes to any of
the Plans since the date of the latest financial statements. To the best of
Sellers' knowledge following diligent review, there is not outstanding any
request for information concerning the Plans by participants, beneficiaries or
government agencies. Neither the Company nor the Plans have been involved in any
transaction that would constitute a "prohibited transaction" within the meaning
of Sections 503 and 4975 of the Code or ERISA Section 406. None of the Plans has
any "accumulated funding deficiency" as described in Code Section 412, and all
required contributions to the Plans for the period through the Closing Date have
been made. All Plans are in compliance in all material respectswith the
applicable provisions of ERISA, the regulations issued thereunder and all other
applicable statutes and regulations. To the extent the Plans are administered by
the Company, such Plans have been maintained and administered in accordance with
their separate terms. Each Plan which is intended to qualify under Code Section
401 has been issued a determination letter by the IRS that it is qualified under
Code Section 401(a) and its trust fund is exempt from taxation under Code
Section 501(a). All information submitted with the request for such
determination letters, if any, was true and accurate in all material respects,
all material information required to have been submitted to the IRS was
submitted, and no event has occurred with respect to any Plan that would cause
the loss of such qualification. Each trust fund established for any medical or
disability plan has been issued a determination letter by the IRS that it is
exempt from taxation under Code Section 501(c)(9), and no event has occurred
with respect to any such Plan that would cause the loss of such qualification.
None of the Plans has experienced a "reportable event" as described in ERISA
Section 4043(b) or is experiencing any condition that may constitute grounds
under ERISA Section 4042 for the termination of such Plan or the appointment of
a trustee to administer such Plan. The Company has not (i) contributed or been
required to contribute to any "multi-employer pension plan," as that term is
defined in ERISA Section III(37)(A), or (ii) incurred any withdrawal liability
under subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA or has withdrawn from any multi-employer
pension plan in any manner that could result in any liability to the Company.

     4.17 CONDUCT OF BUSINESS. Between June 30, 2000, and the date of this
Agreement, except as otherwise approved by the Purchaser in writing, the
business of the Company has been conducted only in the ordinary course and there
has occurred no materially adverse change or, to the knowledge of Sellers, any
event that involved any significant possibility of a materially adverse change,
in the condition (financial or otherwise), assets, liabilities, business,
operations or affairs of the Company.

     4.18 SOLVENCY. The sale and transfer of the VVI Shares pursuant to this
Agreement will not render Sellers insolvent (within the meaning of the Uniform
Fraudulent Conveyance Act or 11 U.S.C. ss. 101(31)).

     4.19 LEASES. SCHEDULE 4.19 sets forth a correct and complete list of all
leases under which the Company leases, as lessor or lessee, any real or personal
property along with the names of the parties to such leases, the commencement
and expiration dates of such leases and a summary description of the rental
under such leases and any options pertaining thereto. Except as described

                                       10

<PAGE>

in SCHEDULE 4.19, all such leases are in full and force and effect, in all
material respects, and no party thereto is in material default or breach
thereunder.

complete list and summary description of all real and material personal
property, tangible or intangible (other than inventory), owned by the Company
or, whether or not owned, used in its business. Except as disclosed on SCHEDULE
4.20 or in other Schedules to this Agreement, the Company owns the property set
forth in SCHEDULE 4.20 free and clear of all liens, charges, mortgages, security
interests, pledges and encumbrances of any nature whatsoever. Substantially all
such tangible personal property is in satisfactory condition and is suitable for
the purpose for which it is being used, subject in each case to consumption in
the ordinary course, to ordinary wear and tear and to ordinary repair,
maintenance and periodic replacement.

another Schedule hereto, a correct and complete list as of the date hereof of
all written or material oral agreements, contracts and commitments of the
following types to which the Company or by which the Company is bound or
otherwise affected as of the date hereof, including, without limitation: (i)
mortgages, indentures, security agreements, loan and credit agreements and other
agreements and instruments relating to the borrowing of money or evidence of
credit, (ii) contracts or options to purchase or sell real property, (iii)

copies of all such written agreements, contracts and commitments, together with
all amendments thereto and waivers and consents with respect thereto. Except as
disclosed in SCHEDULE 4.21 hereto, all of such agreements, contracts and
commitments referred to are in full force and effect and all parties to such
agreements, contracts and commitments have performed in all material respects
all of the obligations required to be performed by them to date and are not in
default thereunder in any material respect. No agreement, contract or commitment
to which the Company is a party, or by which it or any of its properties is
bound, specifically limits its freedom to compete in any line of business or
with any person or entity.

     4.22 GOVERNMENT PERMITS. Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 4.22 hereto, the
Company has and is in substantial compliance with all material permits,
licenses, orders and approvals of all federal, state, local or foreign
governmental or regulatory bodies required for itto carry out its business as
presently conducted, all of which are listed in SCHEDULE 4.22. All such permits,
licenses, orders and approvals are in full force and effect, and no suspension
or cancellation, nor any

                                       11

<PAGE>

proposed adverse modification of any of them is pending or, to the knowledge of
Sellers, threatened. No consent of any governmental or regulatory body issuing
such permits, licenses, orders and approvals is necessary for the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the failure of which to so
obtain would result in a material adverse effect on the transactions
contemplated hereby.

     4.23 TITLE TO PROPERTIES. The Company has good and marketable (as to real
estate, if any) title to all of the properties and assets reflected in the June
20, 2000 balance sheet as owned by it (other than assets disposed of in the
ordinary course of business, since June 30, 2000, or as disclosed in the notes
to the financial statements), free and clear of all restrictions, conditions,
liens, mortgages, encumbrances and similar claims (Liens") other than (a) Liens
reflected in such financial statements and notes, (b) Liens for taxes and
betterment assessments contested in good faith in appropriate proceedings or

and such other Liens, if any, as do not materially detract from the value of or
interfere with the present or future use of the properties or assets affected
thereby.

insurance policies that the Company maintains with respect to its businesses,
properties or employees. Such policies are in full force and effect free from
any right of termination on the part of the insurance carriers. Since June 30,
2000, there has not been any material adverse change in the Company's

     4.38 INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION. The WEI Shares are being acquired for the
account of Sellers and not with a view to, nor for sale in connection with, any
distribution thereof, and without any present intention of selling the same. The
WEI Shares will not be sold or otherwise disposed of in the absence of a
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), covering the WEI Shares, respectively, or an exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

                                       14

<PAGE>

     Sellers hereby acknowledge that (i) the WEI Shares may not be sold or
otherwise transferred unless they are registered under the Securities Act or an
exemption from such registration is available; (ii) any sales of the WEI Shares
made in reliance upon Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act can be made
only in accordance with the terms and conditions of Rule 144 and, further, that
if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of such securities under circumstances
in which Sellers or the person through whom the sale is made may be deemed to be
an underwriter, as that term is defined in the Securities Act, may require
compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental
authority substituted therefor; and (iii) Purchaser is under no obligation to
register any of the WEI Shares under the Securities Act or to comply with the
terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

     The instruments evidencing the WEI Shares may bear a restrictive legend in
substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed
against transfer thereof):

     THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY WERE NOT REGISTERED UNDER, AND ARE
     SUBJECT TO, THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "1933 ACT"), AND
     MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED, AND THE COMPANY IS NOT REQUIRED
     TO GIVE EFFECT TO ANY ATTEMPTED SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT, EXCEPT (I)
     PURSUANT TO A CURRENT REGISTRATION UNDER THE 1933 ACT; (II) IN A
     TRANSACTION PERMITTED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE 1933 ACT AND AS TO WHICH THE
     COMPANY HAS RECEIVED REASONABLY SATISFACTORY EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE WITH
     THE PROVISIONS OF RULE 144; OR (III) UPON RECEIPT OF A LEGAL OPINION
     RENDERED BY COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT
     THAT THE TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE 1933 ACT.

     If a legal opinion complying with clause (iii) of the legend set forth
above indicates that the legend and stop-transfer order may be removed,
Purchaser will substitute unlegended instruments for and remove the
stop-transfer order from the instruments described in the opinion.

     In connection with any Purchaser IPO (as defined in Section 10.11 hereof)
or any other offering involving an underwriting of shares being issued by
Purchaser, Purchaser shall not be required to include any of the WEI Shares in
such underwritings unless other shareholders of Purchaser are being permitted to
include some or all of their shares in the underwritings, in which case Sellers
shall be permitted to include some or all of the WEI Shares on an equivalent
basis; HOWEVER, should Purchaser agree to include a portion of the WEI Shares in
such underwriting, following Sellers' request to do so, Sellers must accept the
terms of the underwriting (to the extent applicable to the WEI Shares) as agreed
upon between Purchaser and the underwriters selected by Purchaser (all costs of
registering the WEI Shares shall be borne by Purchaser). Furthermore, in
connection with any registration of the WEI Shares, Sellers agree, if requested
by Purchaser or the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the WEI
Shares, not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the
purchase of, or

                                       15

<PAGE>

otherwise dispose of any of the WEI Shares (other than that included in the
registration) without the prior written consent of Purchaser or such
underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time after the effective
date of such registration as Purchaser or the underwriters may specify, which,
in any event, shall be a minimum of twelve (12) months following any Purchaser
IPO; but in any event shall be no longer than the time period required by the
underwriter for similarly situated shareholders of Purchaser. Sellers shall
receive treatment no less favorably than any other shareholder of Purchaser at
the time of any offering involving an underwriting of shares being issued by
Purchaser.

     4.39 ACCOUNTS PAYABLE. Set forth in SCHEDULE 4.39 hereto is a complete list

representatives and agents the opportunity to ask questions of the officers and
management employees of the Company and to acquire such additional information
about the business and financial condition of the Company as Purchaser has
requested.

warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement or in any Schedule
delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the consummation of the transactions

     10.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY SELLERS. Sellers shall indemnify Purchaser, its
Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and agents (collectively,
the "Purchaser Indemnified Parties") against and hold them harmless from all
damages, losses, expenses, claims, demands, suits, causes of action,

court costs, assessed, incurred or sustained by or against the Purchaser
Indemnified Parties or the Company with respect to or arising out of (i) the

loss, damage or expense that is subject to indemnification by the other party

be reduced by any insurance proceeds or other payments received by the damaged
party in respect thereof.

     10.5 INDEMNIFICATION OF THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS. The obligations and liabilities
of any party to indemnify any other under this Article 10 with respect to claims
relating to third parties ("Claims") shall be subject to the following terms and
conditions:

                                       25

<PAGE>

     (a) NOTICE AND DEFENSE. The party or parties to be indemnified (whether one
or more, the "Indemnified Party") will give the party from whom indemnification
is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") prompt written notice of any such Claim,
and the Indemnifying Party will undertake the defense thereof by representatives
chosen by it. So long as the Indemnifying Party is defending any such Claim
actively and in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not settle such Claim.
The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party or its
representatives all records and other materials required by them and in the
possession or under the control of the Indemnified Party, for the use of the
Indemnifying Party and its representatives in defending any such Claim, and
shall in other respects give reasonable cooperation in such defense.

     (b) FAILURE TO DEFEND. If the Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time
after notice of any such Claim, fails to defend such Claim actively and in good
faith, the Indemnified Party will (upon further notice) have the right to
undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim or consent to the
entry of a judgment with respect to such Claim, on behalf of and for the account
and risk of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter
have no right to challenge the Indemnified Party's defense, compromise,
settlement or consent to judgment therein.

     (c) INDEMNIFIED PARTY'S RIGHTS. Anything in this Section 10.5 to the
contrary notwithstanding, (i) if there is a reasonable probability that a Claim
may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party other than as a result
of money damages or other money payments, the Indemnified Party shall have the
right to defend, compromise or settle such Claim, and (ii) the Indemnifying
Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or
compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not
include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the
plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all Liability in respect of
such Claim.

     10.6 TIME FOR NOTICE. Any party claiming indemnification hereunder with
respect to the falsity of any representations or warranties herein must give
notice to the other party of its claim for indemnification within the time
period, if any, specified in Section 10.1 hereof for the survival of the
applicable representation or warranty.

     10.7 TIME FOR PAYMENT. All indemnification payments required to be made
pursuant to this Article 10 shall be made promptly after demand for payment has
been made by the indemnified party upon the indemnifying party.

     10.8 TAX EFFECT. The indemnification obligation of an Indemnifying Party
shall be adjusted so as to give effect to any net reduction in federal, state,
local or foreign income or franchise tax liability actually realized at any time
by the Indemnified Party in connection with the satisfaction by the Indemnifying
Party of the Claims with respect to which indemnification is sought hereunder.
Any Claims payable by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party hereunder
shall include the federal, state, local or foreign income or franchise tax
liability which the Indemnified Party will incur upon receipt of payment in
respect of such Claims (taking into account any net operating loss, capital loss
or credit carryover of the Indemnified Party). With

                                       26

<PAGE>

respect to any Claims for which the Indemnified Party (but for the operation of
this sentence) is entitled to indemnification hereunder, there shall be
disregarded any tax liabilities arising by reason of (i) any reduction or
disallowance of deductions from taxable income in one taxable year, to the
extent such reduction or disallowance would result in a corresponding increase
in allowable deductions from income in another taxable year, (ii) the shifting
of items of income from one taxable year to another, or (iii) the capitalization
of amounts which were expensed, but only if such capitalized amounts are subject
to amortization or depreciation or recovery in costs of goods sold, inventory or
materials, except insofar as such reduction, disallowance, shifting or
capitalization would only result in the increase of any unutilized net operating
loss, capital loss or credit carryover.

     10.9 AMOUNT LIMITATION. An Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to
indemnification under this Article 10 for breach of a representation or warranty
unless the aggregate of the Indemnifying Party's indemnification obligations to
the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 10 (but for this Section 10.9)
exceeds $10,000; and in such event, the Indemnified Party shall only be entitled
to indemnification for the amount above such threshold. The Seller's total
liability shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

     10.10 INDEMNIFICATION IS SOLE REMEDY. Except as otherwise provided for
herein, the parties' sole and exclusive remedy for breach of this Agreement or
any claim or cause of action arising out of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement is limited to the indemnification provisions of this Article 10.

     10.11 PURCHASER'S IPO. Purchaser anticipates that it will go public and
provide its initial public offering ("Purchaser's IPO") within sixty (60) days
of the date hereof, but not later than September 30, 2000 (the date of the
Purchaser's IPO shall be referred to herein as the "IPO Date"). Purchaser shall
take all reasonable steps to consummate Purchaser's IPO. Should Purchaser's IPO
not be offered at or prior to September 30, 2000, Sellers shall have the option
for a period of thirty (30) days commencing on September 30, 2000 to continue
this Agreement for an additional period specified in a notice of such
continuation, which period shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 120
days. Should Sellers elect to continue this Agreement pursuant to the terms of
this Section 10.11, Sellers shall provide Purchaser written notice to Purchaser
five (5) business days prior to September 30, 2000. If Sellers fail to provide
such notice to Purchaser, this Agreement shall terminate effective September 30,
2000.
