    Cal-Maine
      Foods, Inc. establishes, as of the Effective Date, an unfunded, deferred
      compensation plan primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation
      for a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the
      Employer, entitled the “Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. Deferred Compensation
      Plan.”

    The
      Plan
      is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained by the Employer primarily for
      the
      purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management
      or
      highly compensated employees (and intended to be within the exemptions therefore
      in, without limitation, sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), 401(a)(1) and 4021(b)(6)
      of
      ERISA and section 2520.104-23 of the Labor Regulations). The Plan is intended
      to
      be “unfunded” for purposes of both ERISA and the Code. The Plan is not intended
      to be qualified as a qualified plan under section 401(a) of the Code; rather,
      the Plan is intended to be a “nonqualified” plan.

    Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, the Employer may delay actual payment beyond the due date in

    The

      Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account on the Valuation Date coincident
      with or next preceding the payment date divided by the number of remaining
      payments (including the current payment). The Valuation Date used to determine
      a

      forty-five (45) days, prior to the payment date.

                Start Date (even if such change relates only to the number of
                installments) shall result in a 5 year delay in the In-Service Payment
                Start Date.

    For

    Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, a Participant’s election with regard to number of installments
      shall be disregarded and payment shall be made in the form of a single lump
      sum
      payment in the following circumstances:

              Designation
                of Beneficiaries.

            

    

     

    The
      Participant may designate in such manner as is required by the Committee primary
      and contingent beneficiaries to receive any deferred compensation benefit
      payments which may be payable hereunder following the Participant’s death and
      the proportions in which such beneficiaries are to receive such payments. The
      Participant may change such designation from time to time and the last
      designation delivered to the Committee prior to the Participant’s death will
      control. If the Participant fails to specifically designate such a beneficiary,
      or if no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, or if all designated
      beneficiaries who survive the Participant die before all payments are made,
      then
      the remaining payments shall be made to the Participant’s surviving spouse if
      such spouse is then living; if such spouse is not living, then to the executors
      or administrators of the estate of the Participant. The Committee may determine
      the identity of such persons and shall incur no responsibility by reason of
      the
      payment of such interest in accordance with any such determination made in
      good
      faith.

    If,
      at
      the time of distribution, the Participant does not tender to the Employer an
      amount equal to the amount required to be withheld for income taxes due as
      a
      result of the distribution, then the Participant shall be deemed to have
      authorized the Employer to withhold enough of the distribution to pay such
      tax
      withholding amount.

    Benefits
      payable under the Plan to any Participant shall be paid directly by the

      assets to be used for payment of benefits under the Plan. While the Employer
      may, in the discretion of the Committee, make investments in the fund designated
      by the Committee as the investment fund in amounts equal or unequal to
      Participants’ Deferred Compensation Accounts hereunder, the Employer shall not
      be under any obligation to make such investments and any such investments shall
      remain an asset of the Employer subject to the claims of its general creditors.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer, in the discretion of the Committee,
      may maintain one or more grantor trusts to hold assets to be used for payment
      of
      benefits under the Plan. The assets of the trust with respect to benefits
      payable to the employees of the Employer shall remain the assets of the Employer
      subject to the claims of its general creditors. Any payments by a trust of
      benefits provided to a Participant under the Plan shall be considered payment
      by
      the Employer and shall discharge the Employer of any further liability under
      the
      Plan for such payments.

      Executive Officer of the Employer or his designee, and any vacancy caused by
      death, resignation or other reason shall be filled by the Chief Executive
      Officer of the Employer or his designee. The Committee shall be the named
      fiduciary and the plan administrator of the Plan and in general shall be
      responsible for the management and administration of the Plan. The Committee
      shall have full power to administer the Plan in all of its details (including
      establishing claims procedures and other rules), subject to applicable
      requirements of law. No member of the Committee who is an employee of the
      Employer shall receive compensation for his services to the Plan. The Committee
      shall have such duties and powers as may be necessary to discharge its duties
      under this Plan.

    Neither
      the establishment of this Plan nor any amendment thereof, nor the payment of

      provided herein. Neither the establishment of this Plan nor any amendment
      thereof, nor the payment of benefits, nor any action taken with respect to

    The

                            STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

      STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of January 2, 2007 (the "Agreement"),
among National Investment Managers Inc., a corporation organized under the laws
of Florida (the "Purchaser"), Benefit Dynamics, Inc., a corporation organized
under the laws of Pennsylvania (the "Company"), Jo Ann Massanova and Carmen
LaVerghetta ("Sellers").

                                   WITNESSETH:

      WHEREAS, the Sellers own an aggregate of 500 shares of common stock, $1.00
par value, of the Company (the "Shares"), which Shares constitute all of the
issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company; and

      WHEREAS, the Sellers desires to sell to Purchaser, and the Purchaser
desires to purchase from the Sellers, the Shares for the purchase price and upon
the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
and agreements hereinafter contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I
                           SALE AND PURCHASE OF SHARES

      1.1 Sale and Purchase of Shares.

      Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, on the
Closing Date the Sellers shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to the
Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Sellers, all of the Shares.

                                   ARTICLE II
                           PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT

      2.1 Amount of Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Shares shall be
an amount equal to $500,000 (five hundred thousand US dollars) (the "Purchase
Price") consisting of (i) $300,000 (three hundred thousand US dollars) payable
to the Sellers pro rata based upon proportionate ownership of the Company (the
"Cash Purchase Price"), (ii) $100,000 (one hundred thousand US dollars)
evidenced by promissory notes in the form of exhibit 2.1(ii) hereto, payable to
the Sellers pro rata based upon proportionate ownership of the Company (the
"Initial Notes") and (iii) $100,000 (one hundred thousand US dollars) evidenced
by promissory notes in the form of exhibit 2.1(iii) hereto, payable to the
Sellers pro rata based upon proportionate ownership of the Company (the
"Additional Notes").

      2.2 Payment of Purchase Price. On the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall
pay the Cash Purchase Price to the Sellers, which shall be paid by the delivery
to Sellers of a certified or bank cashier's checks in New York Clearing House
Funds, payable to the order of the Sellers or, at the Sellers' option, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds into accounts designated by the Sellers.
On the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall deliver the Initial Notes and the
Additional Notes to the Sellers.

<PAGE>

      2.3 Adjustment to the Initial Notes and the Amended Notes.

      (a) Within 45 days after the end of each of the first two twelve month
periods following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and
delivered to Sellers a statement of operations of the Company for such twelve
month period, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"). Such statement of operations shall include (i) a separate
calculation of the Adjusted EBITDA; (ii) a determination as to whether the
Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) of $100,000 (the "Target EBITDA") has been
achieved; and (iii) the amount of the Shortfall (as defined below). Adjusted
EBITDA is the Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortiziation plus the base salary for Jo Ann Massanova, which shall be
determined in the sole discretion of the Purchaser, in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). In the event the Company's office
location is moved pursuant to Section 6.14 which such move results in an
increased rental expense for the Company as well as in a moving expense for the
Company, then the Adjusted EBITDA will be increased to include the amount of the
increase in the rental expense and the moving expense; provided, however, the
Adjusted EBITDA will be decreased by any decrease in rental expense as a result
of such move. Further, to the extent Purchaser provides Jo Ann Massanova with
Covered Fringe Benefits (as defined in the Employment Agreement entered by and
between the Company and Jo Ann Massanova dated January 2, 2007), then the
Adjusted EBITDA shall be reduced by the aggregate value of such Covered Fringe
Benefits.

      (b) If the Adjusted EBITDA of the Company for the first 12-month period
following the Closing Date is less than the Target EBITDA (the "Shortfall"),
then the principal amount payable pursuant to the Initial Notes shall be reduced
by the amount of the Shortfall. If the Shortfall exists for the second 12-month
period following the Closing Date, then the principal amount payable pursuant to
the Additional Notes shall be reduced by the amount of the Shortfall. There
shall be no adjustment to the principal amounts payable pursuant to the Initial
Notes or the Additional Notes in the event that Jo Ann Massanova is terminated
without Cause as defined in section 5(A)(ii) of that certain Employment
Agreement by and between the Company and Jo Ann Massanova dated January 2, 2007.

                                   ARTICLE III
                             CLOSING AND TERMINATION

      3.1 Closing Date.

            Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections
7.1 and 7.2 hereof (or the waiver thereof by the party entitled to waive that
condition), the closing of the sale and purchase of the Shares provided for in
Section 1.1 hereof (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of Sichenzia
Ross Friedman Ference LLP located at 1065 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New
York 10018 (or at such other place as the parties may designate in writing) on
such date as the Sellers and the Purchaser may designate. The date on which the
Closing shall be held is referred to in this Agreement as the "Closing Date".

                                        2

<PAGE>

      3.2 Termination of Agreement.

            This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing as follows:

      (a) At the election of the Sellers or the Purchaser on or after February
28, 2007, if the Closing shall not have occurred by the close of business on
such date, provided that the terminating party is not in default of any of its
obligations hereunder;

      (b) by mutual written consent of the Sellers and the Purchaser; or

      (c) by the Sellers or the Purchaser if there shall be in effect a final
nonappealable order of a governmental body of competent jurisdiction
restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby; it being agreed that the parties hereto shall
promptly appeal any adverse determination which is not nonappealable (and pursue
such appeal with reasonable diligence).

      3.3 Procedure Upon Termination.

            In the event of termination and abandonment by the Purchaser or the
Sellers, or both, pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, written notice thereof shall
forthwith be given to the other party or parties, and this Agreement shall
terminate, and the purchase of the Shares hereunder shall be abandoned, without
further action by the Purchaser or the Sellers. If this Agreement is terminated
as provided herein, each party shall redeliver all documents, work papers and
other material of any other party relating to the transactions contemplated
hereby, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof, to the party
furnishing the same.

      3.4 Effect of Termination.

            In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated as provided
herein, then each of the parties shall be relieved of their duties and
obligations arising under this Agreement after the date of such termination and
such termination shall be without liability to the Purchaser, the Company, the
Sellers or the Company; provided, however, that the obligations of the parties
set forth in Section 10.4 hereof shall survive any such termination and shall be
enforceable hereunder; provided, further, however, that nothing in this Section
3.4 shall relieve the Purchaser or the Sellers of any liability for a breach of
this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLERS

            The Sellers and the Company hereby jointly and severally represent

Sellers and the Company and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the
Sellers and the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

            (d) Except as set forth in Section 4.2, neither the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions herein
contemplated, nor compliance with the terms of this Agreement will violate,
conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under any statute,
regulation, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, or other agreement or
instrument to which the Sellers or the Company is a party or by which it or any
of them is bound, any charter, regulation, or bylaw provision of the Company, or
any decree, order, or rule of any court or governmental authority or arbitrator
that is binding on the Sellers or the Company in any way.

      4.3. Shares.

            (a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consist of 2,000
shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of which 500 shares have been
issued to Sellers and constitute the only shares of capital stock outstanding.
All of the Shares are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.

            (b) The Sellers are the lawful record and beneficial owner of all
the Shares, free and clear of any liens, pledges, encumbrances, charges, claims
or restrictions of any kind, except as set forth in Section 4.3 or Schedule 4.3,
and have, or will have on the Closing Date, the absolute, unilateral right,
power, authority and capacity to enter into and perform this Agreement without
any other or further authorization, action or proceeding, except as specified
herein.

            (c) There are no authorized or outstanding subscriptions, options,
warrants, calls, contracts, demands, commitments, convertible securities or
other agreements or arrangements of any character or nature whatever under which
the Company is or may become obligated to issue, assign or transfer any shares
of capital stock of the Company, except as set forth in Section 4.3. Upon the
delivery to Purchaser on the Closing Date of the certificates representing the
Shares, Purchaser will have good, legal, valid, marketable and indefeasible
title to all the then issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Company, free and clear of any liens, pledges, encumbrances, charges,
agreements, options, claims or other arrangements or restrictions of any kind.

<PAGE>

      4.4. Basic Corporate Records. The copies of the Articles of Incorporation
of the Company (certified by the Secretary of State or other authorized official
of the jurisdiction of incorporation), and the Bylaws of the Company, as the
case may be (certified as of the date of this Agreement as true, correct and
complete by the Company's secretary or assistant secretary), all of which have
been delivered to the Purchaser, are true, correct and complete as of the date
of this Agreement.

      4.5. Minute Books. The minute books of the Company, which shall be
exhibited to the Purchaser between the date hereof and the Closing Date, contain
true, correct and complete minutes and records of all meetings, proceedings and
other actions of the shareholders, Board of Directors and committees of such
Board of Directors of the Company, if any, and, on the Closing Date, will
contain true, correct and complete minutes and records of any meetings,
proceedings and other actions of the shareholders, Board of Directors and
committees of such Board of Directors of the Company.

      4.6. Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Any and all businesses, entities,
enterprises and organizations in which the Company has any ownership, voting or
profit and loss sharing percentage interest (the "Subsidiaries") are identified
in Section 4.6 hereto, together with the Company's interest therein. Unless the
context requires otherwise or specifically designated to the contrary on Section
4.6 hereto, "Company" as used in this Agreement shall include all such
Subsidiaries. Except as set forth in Section 4.6 or 4.31 or on Schedule 4.6, (i)
the Company has made no advances to, or investments in, nor owns beneficially or
of record, any securities of or other interest in, any business, entity,
enterprise or organization, (ii) there are no arrangements through which the
Company has acquired from, or provided to, the Sellers or their affiliates any
goods, properties or services, (iii) there are no rights, privileges or
advantages now enjoyed by the Company as a result of the ownership of the
Company by the Sellers which, to the knowledge of the Sellers or the Company,
might be lost as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. Each entity shown on Schedule 4.6 is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation, and has full corporate power to own all of its property and to
carry on its business as it is now being conducted. Also set forth on Schedule
4.6 is a list of jurisdictions in which each Subsidiary is qualified as a
foreign corporation. Such jurisdictions are the only jurisdictions in which the
ownership or leasing of property by each Subsidiary or the conduct of its
business requires it to be so qualified. All of the outstanding shares of
capital stock of each Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued,
are fully paid and nonassessable, and, except as set forth on Schedule 4.6, are
owned, of record and beneficially, by the Company, and on the Closing Date will
be owned by the Company, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities,
options or claims whatsoever. No Subsidiary has outstanding any other equity
securities or securities options, warrants or rights of any kind that are
convertible into equity securities of such Subsidiary, except as set forth on
Schedule 4.6.

                                        5

<PAGE>

      4.7. Consents. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.7, no consents or
approvals of any public body or authority and no consents or waivers from other
parties to leases, licenses, franchises, permits, indentures, agreements or
other instruments are (i) required for the lawful consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, or (ii) necessary in order that the Business
can be conducted by the Purchaser in the same manner after the Closing as
heretofore conducted by the Company, nor will the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby result in creating, accelerating or increasing
any liability of the Company.

      4.8. Financial Statements. The Sellers have delivered, or will deliver
prior to Closing, to the Purchaser copies of the following financial statements
(which include all notes and schedules attached thereto), all of which are true,
complete and correct, have been prepared from the books and records of the
Company in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and fairly present the
financial condition, assets, liabilities and results of operations of the
Company as of the dates thereof and for the periods covered thereby:

      the unaudited balance sheet of the Company as at December 31, 2004 and
      2005, and the related audited statements of operations, stockholder's
      equity and of cash flows of the Company for the years then ended and (ii)
      the unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2006 and the
      related compiled statement of operations of the Company for the nine (9)
      month period then ended (such statements, including the related notes and
      schedules thereto, are referred to herein as the "Financial Statements").

      In such Financial Statements, the statements of operations do not contain
any items of special or nonrecurring income or any other income not earned in
the ordinary course of business except as set forth in Schedule 4.8, and the
financial statements for the interim periods indicated include all adjustments,
which consist of only normal recurring accruals, necessary for such fair
presentation. There are no facts known to any of the Sellers or the Company
that, under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, would
alter the information contained in the foregoing Financial Statements in any
material way.

      For the purposes hereof, the balance sheet of the Company as of December
31, 2005 is referred to as the "Balance Sheet" and December 31, 2005 is referred
to as the "Balance Sheet Date".

      4.9. Records and Books of Account. The records and books of account of the
Company and of each Subsidiary reflect all material items of income and expense
and all material assets, liabilities and accruals, and have been, and to the
Closing Date will be, regularly kept and maintained in conformity with GAAP
applied on a consistent basis.

      4.10. Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as and to the extent
reflected or reserved against in the Company's Financial Statements or disclosed
in Schedule 4.10, there are no liabilities or obligations of the Company of any
kind whatsoever, whether accrued, fixed, absolute, contingent, determined or
determinable, and including without limitation (i) liabilities to former,
retired or active employees of the Company under any pension, health and welfare
benefit plan, vacation plan or other plan of the Company, (ii) tax liabilities
incurred in respect of or measured by income for any period prior to the close
of business on the Balance Sheet Date, or arising out of transactions entered
into, or any state of facts existing, on or prior to said date, and (iii)
contingent liabilities in the nature of an endorsement, guarantee, indemnity or
warranty, and there is no condition, situation or circumstance existing or which
has existed that could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of the
Company, other than liabilities and contingent liabilities incurred in the
ordinary course of business since the Balance Sheet Date consistent with the
Company's recent customary business practice, none of which is materially
adverse to the Company.

      4.11 Taxes.

            (a) For purposes of this Agreement, "Tax" or "Taxes" refers to: (i)
any and all federal, state, local and foreign taxes, assessments and other
governmental charges, duties, impositions and liabilities relating to taxes,
including taxes based upon or measured by gross receipts, income, profits,
sales, use and occupation, and value added, ad valorem, transfer, franchise,
withholding, payroll, recapture, employment, excise and property taxes and
escheatment payments, together with all interest, penalties and additions
imposed with respect to such amounts and any obligations under any agreements or
arrangements with any other person with respect to such amounts and including
any liability for taxes of a predecessor entity; (ii) any liability for the
payment of any amounts of the type described in clause (i) as a result of being
or ceasing to be a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary
group for any period (including, without limitation, any liability under Treas.
Reg. Section 1.1502-6 or any comparable provision of foreign, state or local
law); and (iii) any liability for the payment of any amounts of the type
described in clause (i) or (ii) as a result of any express or implied obligation
to indemnify any other person or as a result of any obligations under any
agreements or arrangements with any other person with respect to such amounts
and including any liability for taxes of a predecessor entity.

            (b) (i) The Company has timely filed all federal, state, local and
foreign returns, estimates, information statements and reports ("Returns")
relating to Taxes required to be filed by the Company with any Tax authority.
All such Returns are true, correct and complete in all respects. The Company has
paid all Taxes shown to be due on such Returns. Except as listed on Schedule
4.11 hereto, the Company is not currently the beneficiary of any extensions of
time within which to file any Returns. The Sellers and the Company have
furnished and made available to the Purchaser complete and accurate copies of

severally indemnify and hold the Purchaser, the Company, and their respective
directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, successors and assigns
(collectively, the "Purchaser Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against:

            (i) any and all liabilities of the Company of every kind, nature and
description, absolute or contingent, existing as against the Company prior to

            (iv) any and all notices, actions, suits, proceedings, claims,

(collectively, "Losses").

      (b) Subject to Section 9.2, Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
the Sellers and their respective Affiliates, agents, successors and assigns
(collectively, the "Sellers Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against:

            (i) any and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from
the failure of any representation or warranty of the Purchaser set forth in
Section 5 hereof, or any representation or warranty contained in any certificate
delivered by or on behalf of the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, to be
true and correct as of the date made;

            (ii) any and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting

warranty to be true and correct, other than the representations and warranties
set forth in Sections 4.3, 4.11, 4.24 and 4.29 hereof, exceeds $10,000 (the

"Deductible").

                                       30

      9.3 Indemnification Procedures.

      (a) In the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted or that
any claim or demand ("Claim") shall be asserted by any Person in respect of
which payment may be sought under Section 9.1 hereof (regardless of the Basket
or the Deductible referred to above), the indemnified party shall reasonably and
promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Claim of which it has
knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the indemnifying
party. The indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole option and
expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle
or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against
hereunder. If the indemnifying party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle
or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against
hereunder, it shall within five (5) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Claim
so requires) notify the indemnified party of its intent to do so. If the
indemnifying party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise
deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder,
fails to notify the indemnified party of its election as herein provided or
contests its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party for such Losses under
this Agreement, the indemnified party may defend against, negotiate, settle or
otherwise deal with such Claim. If the indemnified party defends any Claim, then
the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for the Expenses of
defending such Claim upon submission of periodic bills. If the indemnifying
party shall assume the defense of any Claim, the indemnified party may
participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Claim; provided,
however, that such indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in any
such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party if,
(i) so requested by the indemnifying party to participate or (ii) in the
reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified party, a conflict or potential
conflict exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that
would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that
the indemnifying party shall not be required to pay for more than one such
counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any Claim. The parties
hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense,
negotiation or settlement of any such Claim.

      (b) After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court,
arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and the
expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have
been consummated, or the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have
arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to a Claim hereunder, the
indemnified party shall forward to the indemnifying party notice of any sums due
and owing by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to
such matter and the indemnifying party shall be required to pay all of the sums
so due and owing to the indemnified party by wire transfer of immediately
available funds within 10 business days after the date of such notice.

      (c) The failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice
of any Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying
party's obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the
indemnifying party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such
failure.

      9.4 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments.

      The Sellers and the Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made
pursuant to this Article 9 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal,
state, local and foreign income tax purposes.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

      10.1 Payment of Sales, Use or Similar Taxes.

      All sales, use, transfer, intangible, recordation, documentary stamp or
similar Taxes or charges, of any nature whatsoever, applicable to, or resulting
from, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne by the
Sellers.

      10.2 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

      The parties hereto hereby agree that the representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, document or instrument
delivered in connection herewith, shall survive the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, and the Closing hereunder, regardless of any investigation made
by the parties hereto; provided, however, that any claims or actions with
respect thereto (other than claims for indemnifications with respect to the
representation and warranties contained in Sections 4.3, 4.11, 4.24 and 4.35
which shall survive for periods coterminous with any applicable statutes of
limitation) shall terminate unless within twenty-four (24) months after the
Closing Date written notice of such claims is given to the Sellers or such
actions are commenced.

      10.3 Expenses.

      Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Sellers and the
Purchaser shall each bear its own expenses incurred in connection with the
negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other agreement, document
and instrument contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, it being understood that in no
event shall the Company bear any of such costs and expenses.

      10.4 Specific Performance.

      The Sellers and the Company acknowledge and agree that the breach of this
Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the Purchaser and that the Purchaser
will not have an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the obligations of the
Sellers and the Company under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the
Sellers' obligation to sell the Shares to the Purchaser, shall be enforceable by
a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction,
and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection
therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and
shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this
Agreement or otherwise.

      10.5 Further Assurances.

      The Sellers and the Purchaser each agrees to execute and deliver such
other documents or agreements and to take such other action as may be reasonably
necessary or desirable for the implementation of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

      10.6 Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

      (a) The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within the state of New York
over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that
all claims in respect of such dispute or any suit, action proceeding related
thereto may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereby
irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any
such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the
maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment
in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

      (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by
any party to this Agreement in any suit, action or proceeding by the mailing of
a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.10.

      10.7 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers.

      This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto) represents
the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect
to the subject matter hereof and can be amended, supplemented or changed, and
any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific
reference to this Agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any
such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. No action taken
pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, any investigation by
or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party
taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any
provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or
continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent
breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy
by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are
not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
