                  the year ended December 31, 2002, exceeds greater of (i)
                  Company 1999 Base Income or (ii) Consolidated Adjusted Income
                  Before Taxes of Parent for the year ended December 31, 2000,

For purposes of this Agreement, "CONSOLIDATED ADJUSTED INCOME BEFORE TAXES"
shall mean the net income before income tax expense for the applicable fiscal
year (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
financial reporting purposes under the rules and regulations of the U.S.

this Agreement. Furthermore, any shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued and
delivered to the Company Shareholders pursuant to Section 1.6(a), other than

referred to herein as the "CONTINGENT SHARES."

         As soon as reasonably practical following the determination of
Consolidated Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes of Parent for each of the years
ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, any issuances and deliveries of the
Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Section 1.6(a) and not made at Closing,

or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company or Parent immediately prior
to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on
the part of the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, be canceled and retired
without payment of any consideration therefor and cease to exist.

Time.

                  SECTION 1.7 EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES. (a) EXCHANGE AGENT.

and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper
delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form
and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify), and (ii)
instructions to effect the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the
certificates evidencing shares of Parent Common Stock or the Parent Preferred
Stock, as applicable. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the
Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and

instructions, the Company Shareholders shall be entitled to receive in
exchange therefor (A) certificates evidencing that number of whole shares of

                  (c)      DISTRIBUTIONS WITH RESPECT TO UNEXCHANGED SHARES.

applicable, payable to shareholders of record as of a date after the
Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate

Section 1.7(b). Subject to applicable law, following surrender of any such
Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates
representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent Preferred Stock,
as applicable, issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the time of
such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions payable to

paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent
Preferred Stock, as applicable.

                  (d)      TRANSFERS OF OWNERSHIP. If any certificate for
shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent Preferred Stock, as applicable, is to
be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in
exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance
thereof that the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed and
otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such
exchange will have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer
or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for shares
of Parent Common Stock or Parent Preferred Stock, as applicable, in any name
other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or
established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that
such tax has been paid or is not payable.

                  (e)      NO LIABILITY. Neither Parent, Merger Sub nor the

                  (f)      WITHHOLDING RIGHTS. Parent or the Exchange Agent
shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration
otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of

                                  -5-
<PAGE>

Company Common Stock, such amounts as Parent or the Exchange Agent is
required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment
under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the
extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent or the Exchange Agent, such
withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as
having been paid to the holder of the Shares in respect of which such
deduction and withholding was made by Parent or the Exchange Agent.

                  SECTION 1.8.  DISSENTING SHARES.  Omitted.

exchange of Common Shares or Preferred Shares, as applicable, in accordance
with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full
satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Common Shares or Preferred
Shares, as applicable, and there shall be no further registration of
transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of such Common Shares
or Preferred Shares, as applicable, which were outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are
presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled
and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

                  SECTION 1.11  LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. In
the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the
Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder
thereof, such shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent Preferred Stock as may
be required pursuant to Section 1.7; provided, however, that Parent may, in
its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require
the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to deliver a bond in
such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may
be made against Parent or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificate
alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

                  SECTION 1.12  TAXES. It is intended by the parties hereto
that the Merger shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of

lawful action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the
Merger in accordance with this Agreement as promptly as possible. If, at any

desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the
Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets,
property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger
Sub, the officers and directors of the Company and Merger Sub immediately
prior to the Effective Time are fully authorized in the name of their
respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful
and necessary action.

                  SECTION 1.14  MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT. When used in
connection with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Parent or any of
its subsidiaries, as the case may be, the term "MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT"
means any change, effect or circumstance that, individually or when taken
together with all other such changes, effects or circumstances that have
occurred prior to the date of determination of the occurrence of the Material
Adverse Effect, is or is reasonably likely to be materially adverse to the

subsidiaries, as the case may be, in each case taken as a whole.

                  SECTION 1.15  INVESTMENT INTENT. The Company Shareholders
represents to Parent and its officers and directors that the Parent Common

applicable, and will not be transferred except pursuant to registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"), and the
applicable state securities laws unless pursuant to exemption from

acknowledges that the Parent Common Stock or Parent Preferred Stock, as
applicable, that may be issued to such Company Shareholder pursuant to
Section 1.6 will be issued pursuant to exemption from registration under the
Securities Act and the applicable state securities laws and the certificates
evidencing the such Parent Common Stock or Parent Preferred Stock, as
applicable, will bear appropriate restrictive transfer legends as required
pursuant to the Securities Act and the applicable state securities laws.

                  SECTION 1.16  COMPANY SHAREHOLDERS APPROVAL. Each of the

hereby approves this Agreement and the transactions contemplated in this
Agreement. By execution of this Agreement, (i) each of the Company
Shareholders hereby votes all of the issued and outstanding shares of the
Company Common Stock in favor of approval of this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated in this Agreement and (ii) each of the Company
Shareholders hereby consents to all corporate action required to consummate
the transactions contemplated in this Agreement without the necessity for a
meeting of the shareholders of the Company, to the extent and in the event

and deliver to the Company amendments or statements of clarification to each
agreement governing the Stock Options which state that for purposes of
determining the gross revenues of Parent and accordingly the vesting and

of Parent through which the smart card operations of Parent as currently
constituted and conducted are subsequently constituted and conducted as a
result of any corporate restructuring of Parent and its subsidiaries.

                  SECTION 2.8 SEC FILINGS. The Company does not have a class or

                  SECTION 2.9 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; ABSENCE OF UNDISCLOSED
LIABILITIES; RECEIVABLES. (a) The Company has heretofore delivered to Parent
complete and correct copies of the following financial statements (the "COMPANY
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS"), all of which have been prepared from the books and
records of the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP") consis tently applied and maintained throughout the periods
indicated (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present
in all material respects the financial condition of the Company as at their
respec tive dates and the results of the Company's operations and cash flows for
the periods covered thereby:

                              (i)   unaudited balance sheet (the "COMPANY
                  BALANCE SHEET") of the Company as of December 31, 1999 (the
                  "COMPANY BALANCE SHEET DATE") and statement of income for
                  the year then ended.

Such statement of income does not contain any items of special or nonrecurring
revenue or income or any revenue or income not earned in the ordinary course of
business, except as expressly specified therein.

Company Balance Sheet Date, any liabilities, debts or obligations (whether
absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) of any nature that would be
required as of such date to have been included on a balance sheet prepared in
accordance with GAAP. Since the Company Balance Sheet Date, the Company had
not incurred or suffered to exist any liability, debt or obligation (whether
absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise), except liabilities, debt and
obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past
practice, none of which will have a Material Adverse Effect. Since the Company
Balance Sheet Date, there has been no material adverse change in the business,
operations, assets (including intangible assets), condition (financial or
otherwise), liabilities or results of operations of the Company, taken as a
whole, and no event has occurred which is reasonably likely to cause any such
material adverse change.

                  (c)      All receivables of the Company (including accounts
receivable, loans receivable and advances) which are reflected in the Company
Balance Sheet, and all such receivables which have arisen thereafter and prior
to the Effective Time, have arisen or will have arisen only from BONA FIDE trans
actions in the ordinary course of business and shall be fully collectible at the
aggregate recorded amounts thereof (except

                                     -9-
<PAGE>

to the extent of appropriate reserves therefor established in accordance with
prior practice and GAAP) and are not and will not be subject to defense,
counterclaim or offset.

                  SECTION 2.10 CERTAIN OTHER FINANCIAL REPRESENTATIONS. Since
the Company Balance Sheet Date, the Company's accounts payable have been accrued
and paid in a manner consistent with the Company's prior practice.

                  SECTION 2.11 ABSENCE OF CHANGES. Except as disclosed in the
Company Financial Statements or as set forth in Section 2.11 of the Company
Disclosure Schedule, since December 31, 1999, the Company has conducted its
business only in the ordinary course and the Company has not:

Incorporation or Bylaws (or similar organizational document);

its capital stock or any other of its securities, or altered any term of any of
its outstanding securities or made any change in its outstanding shares of
capital stock or other ownership interests or its capitalization, whether by

agreed to do any of the foregoing (whether or not legally enforceable);

to any Encumbrance or other restriction any of its properties, business or
assets except Encumbrances or other restrictions that could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

                  (e)      discharged or satisfied any Encumbrance, or paid any
obligation or liability, absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise, whether due
or to become due, other than current liabilities shown on the Company's
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 and current liabilities
incurred since that date in the ordinary course of business and consistent with
prior practice;

                  (f)      sold, transferred, leased to others or otherwise

                  (j)      made any increase in or commitment (whether or not

employee benefit plan or made any contribution, other than regularly scheduled
contributions, to any Employee Benefit Plan (as defined in Section 2.14(a));

                  (k)      lost the employment services of a senior manager or
other employee of equal or higher ranking;

                  (p)      entered into any agreement or made any commitment to
take any of the types of action described in subparagraphs (a) through (o) of
this Section 2.11.

                  SECTION 2.12 TAX MATTERS. (a) For purposes of this Agreement,
"TAX" or "TAXES" shall mean taxes, fees, levies, duties, tariffs, imposts and
governmental impositions or charges of any kind in the nature of (or similar to)
taxes, payable to any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority,
including (without limitation) (i) income, franchise, profits, gross receipts,
AD VALOREM, net worth, value added, sales, use, service, real or personal
property, special assessments, capital stock, license, payroll, withholding,
employment, social security, workers' compensation, unemployment compensation,
utility, severance, production, excise, stamp, occupation, premiums, windfall
profits, transfer and gains taxes, and (ii) interest, penalties, additional
taxes and additions to tax imposed with respect thereto; and "TAX RETURNS" shall
mean returns, reports, and information statements with respect to Taxes required
to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or any other taxing
authority, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, consolidated,
combined and unitary tax returns, including returns required in connection
with any Employee Benefit Plan (as defined in Section 2.14(a)).

                  (b)      The Company represents that, other than as disclosed
in Section 2.12(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company has timely
filed all United States federal income Tax Returns and all other material Tax
Returns required to be filed by it. All such Tax Returns are complete and
correct in all material respects (except to the extent a reserve has been
established as reflected in the Company Balance Sheet). The Company has timely
paid and discharged all Taxes due in connection with or with respect to the

                                    -11-
<PAGE>

periods or transactions covered by such Tax Returns and have paid all other
Taxes as are due, except such as are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings (to the extent that any such proceedings are required),
and there are no other Taxes that would be due if asserted by a taxing
authority, except with respect to which the Company is maintaining reserves
unless the failure to do so could not have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as
does not involve or would not result in liability to the Company that could have
a Material Adverse Effect, (i) there are no tax liens on any assets of the
Company; (ii) the Company has not granted any waiver of any statute of
limitations with respect to, or any extension of a period for the assessment of,
any Tax; (iii) no unpaid (or unreserved) deficiencies for Taxes have been

respect to the Company; (iv) there are no pending or threatened audits,
investigations or claims for or relating to any liability in respect of Taxes of
the Company; and (v) the Company has not requested any extension of time within
which to file any currently unfiled Tax Returns. The accruals and reserves for
Taxes (including deferred taxes) reflected in the Company Balance Sheet are in
all material respects adequate to cover all Taxes accruable through the date
thereof (including Taxes being contested) in accordance with GAAP.

                  (c)      The Company represents that, other than as disclosed
in Section 2.12(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and other than with
respect to items the inaccuracy of which could not have a Material Adverse
Effect: (i) the Company has not filed or been included in a combined,
consolidated or unitary return (or substantial equivalent thereof) of any Person
other than the Company; (ii) the Company is not liable for Taxes of any Person
other than the Company, or currently under any contractual obligation to
indemnify any Person with respect to Taxes, or a party to any tax sharing
agreement or any other agreement providing for payments by the Company with
respect to Taxes; (iii) the Company is not a party to any joint venture,
partnership or other arrangement or contract which could be treated as a
partnership for United States federal income tax purposes; (iv) the Company is

separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of any "excess parachute
payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code; (v) the Company is not
a "consenting corporation" under Section 341(f) of the Code or any corresponding
provision of state, local or foreign law; and (vi) the Company has not made an

                      (ii)     The Company is and has been in compliance
with all applicable laws respecting employment and employment practices, terms
and conditions of employment, and wages and hours, including any law, rule or
regulation relating to discrimination, fair labor standards and occupational
health and safety, wrongful discharge or violation of the personal rights of
employees, former employees or prospective employees, and the Company is not
or has not engaged in any unfair labor practices, except to the extent a
failure to so comply could not, alone or together with any other failure,
have a Material Adverse Effect.

                      (iii)    No collective bargaining

                                    -12-

and each of the Company Shareholders, no charges with respect to or relating to
the business of the Company are pending before the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission, or any state or local agency responsible for the prevention of
unlawful employment practices, which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

                  (b)      Except as set forth in Section 2.13(b) of the Company
Disclosure Schedule, the Company is not a contractor or subcontractor with
obligations under any federal, state or local government contract.

Disclosure Schedule, the Company has nor or could not have any material
liability, whether absolute or contingent, including any obligations under any
of the Employee Benefit Plans described in Section 2.14, with respect to any
misclassification of a person as an independent contractor rather than as an
employee.

                  (d)      Section 2.13(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule
contains a complete and correct list of all employment, management or other
consulting agreements with any Persons employed or retained by the Company

                  SECTION 2.14 BENEFIT PLANS. (a) Section 2.14(a) of the Company

                                    -13-
<PAGE>

severance, golden parachute or similar agreements (individually, an "EMPLOYEE
BENEFIT PLAN" and collec tively, the "EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS"), currently or
within the past six years maintained by, contributed by or with respect to which
an obligation to contribute exists on the part of the Company or any of its
trades or businesses, whether or not incorporated, which, together with the
Company, is treated as a single employer under Section 414 of the Code
(collectively, "ERISA AFFILIATES"), or with respect to which the Company or any
ERISA Affiliate may have any liability or obligation (direct, indirect,
contingent or otherwise) to any employee, former employee, director or former
director (or any of their dependents or beneficiaries) of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries or to any governmental entity. There have been delivered to
Parent complete and correct copies of all written Employee Benefit Plans and any
related trust agreements, insurance and other contracts and other funding
arrangements, written descriptions of all unwritten Employee Benefit Plans, the
current summary plan descriptions and current summaries of material
modifications relating to each Employee Benefit Plan, the two most recent Forms
5500 required to have been filed with any appropriate government agency with
respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, the most recent favorable determination
letter issued for each Employee Benefit Plan and related trust that is intended
to satisfy the qualification requirements of sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the
Code (and the latest IRS form 5300 or 5307, whichever is applicable, filed with
the IRS for each such Employee Benefit Plan), and all collective bargaining
agreements pursuant to which an Employee Benefit Plan is maintained or
contributions to an Employee Benefit Plan are or have been made.

                  (b)      No Employee Benefit Plan is, a "DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN"
within the meaning of section 3(35) of ERISA to which ERISA applies applicable
to or a plan to which the funding requirements of Section 412 of the Code or 302
of ERISA and neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has or could have any
liability with respect to any such plan. Neither the Company nor any ERISA
Affiliate has ever contributed to, or withdrawn in a complete or partial
withdrawal from, any multi-employer plan (within the meaning of Subtitle E of
Title IV of ERISA) or incurred contingent liability under Section 4204 of ERISA.
No Employee Benefit Plan provides for medical or health benefits (through
insurance or otherwise) to individuals other than current employees of the
Company (or spouses and dependents of such employees), except to the extent
necessary to comply with "APPLICABLE BENEFITS LAW" (including, without
limitation, section 4980B of the Code), and there has been no communication to
any person that could reasonably be expected to promise or guarantee any
employee, former employee (or any spouse, dependent or domestic partner of any
employee or former employee) any retiree medical, life or other retiree
benefits. "Applicable Benefits Law" refers to the legal requirements (whether
imposed by common law, statue or regulation or otherwise) applicable to employee
benefit plans sponsors thereof or their affiliates, services providers thereto
or fiduciaries thereof or their affiliates or parties related thereto or their
affiliates by the United States or any political subdivision thereof (including
any requirements enforced by the IRS with respect to employee benefit plans
intended to confer tax benefits on the Company or any of its employees).

                  (c)      Each Employee Benefit Plan (and each related trust,
insurance contract and fund) is in compliance in all material respects in form
and in operation with all applicable requirements of Applicable Benefits Law
(including ERISA and the Code), and is being administered in all material
respects in accordance with all relevant plan documents to the extent consistent
with Applicable Benefits Law. There has been no prohibited transaction with
respect to any Employee Benefit Plan which would result in the imposition of any
material unpaid excise tax. No Employee Benefit Plan is under investigation or
audit by the Department of Labor or Internal Revenue Service other than as part
of a routine tax audit of the Company. There are no legal actions or suits
pending or, to the best of the knowledge of the Company and each of the Company
Shareholders, threatened against or with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or
the assets of any such Employee Benefit Plan or against any fiduciary of any
such Employee Benefit Plan and the Company has no knowledge of any facts that
could give rise to any such actions. There has been full compliance in all
material respects with the notice and continuation

                                    -14-
<PAGE>

requirements of Section 4980B of the Code and Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of
ERISA, and the requirement of Part 7 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and
Section 9801, ET. seq. of the Code applicable to any Employee Benefit Plan. No
event has occurred or reasonably is expected to occur as a result of which the
Company or any ERISA Affiliate, directly or indirectly, could be subject to any
material Liability (including under any indemnity or hold harmless agreement)
under ERISA or the Code or any other Applicable Benefits Law, including, without
limitation, Section 4971, 4975 or 4976 of the Code or Sections 406, 409, 502(i)
and 502(l) of the Code.

                  (d)      Except as provided in Section 2.14(d) of the Company
Disclosure Statement, no provision of any Employee Benefit Plan becomes
effective in the event of a change in control of the employer maintaining such
Employee Benefit Plan. The Company has not agreed to or has not announced any
plan or commitment (whether or not legally binding) to create any new employee
benefit plan or, with respect to any existing Employee Benefit Plan, to increase
the benefits or change in employee coverage in an amount that could increase the
expense of maintaining such Employee Benefit Plan or to terminate any Employee
Benefit Plan. No provision of any Employee Benefit Plan prohibits the employer
maintaining it from amending or terminating such Employee Benefit Plan at any
time and to the fullest extent that law permits. Except as provided in Section
2.14(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the consummation of the Merger or
any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, either alone or in
combination of any other event, will not (i) result in an increase in the amount
of compensation or benefits or accelerate the vesting or timing of payment of
any benefits or compensation payable under any Employ ee Benefit Plan in respect
of any employee or former employee of the Company, (ii) entitle any such current
or former employee to any benefits or payment, or (iii) result in any "Parachute
Payment" under Section 280G of the Code, whether or not such payment is
considered reasonable compensation for services rendered. No employee or former
employee of the Company will be entitled to any severance benefits under the
terms of any Employee Benefit Plan solely by reason of the consummation of the
Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

                  (e)      No leased employee (within the meaning of section
414(n) or (o) of the Code) performs any services for the Company.

                  (f)      An Employee Benefit Plan does not own or is not
entitled to receive any of the capital stock of the Company.

                  (g)      Except as set forth in Section 2.14(g) of the
Company Disclosure Schedule, there are no material liabilities, whether absolute
or contingent, of the Company relating to workers compensation benefits that are
not fully insured against by a BONA FIDE third-party insurance carrier. Except

the Parent Disclosure Schedule.

                  SECTION 3.7 NO CONFLICT. Subject to compliance with any
Governmental Licenses described in Section 3.7 of the Parent Disclosure

writ, injunction, order, judgment or decree to which Parent or Merger Sub or
any of their respective properties or assets is subject; (iii) give rise to a
declaration or imposition of any Encumbrance upon any of the properties or
assets of Parent or Merger Sub; or (iv) impair Parent's business or adversely
affect any Governmental License necessary to enable Parent and Merger Sub to
carry on their business as presently conducted, except, in the cases of
clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv), for any conflict, breach, violation, default,
declaration, imposition or impairment that could not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 3.8 SEC FILINGS. The Parent Common Stock is the
only class or securities of Parent registered under the Exchange Act. Parent
has filed all forms, reports or other documents required to be filed with the
SEC (the "PARENT SEC REPORTS") since its initial public offering of the
Parent Common Stock on February 8, 2000. The Parent SEC Reports (i) were
prepared in accordance, and complied as of their respective dates in all
material respects, with the requirements of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act, as the case may be, and (ii) did not at the time they were
filed (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this
Agreement, then on the date of such filing) contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Parent has filed
with the SEC as exhibits to the Parent SEC Reports all agreements, contracts
and other documents or instruments required to be so filed, and such exhibits
are correct and complete copies of such agreements, contracts and other
documents or instruments. Merger Sub is not required to file any forms,
reports or other documents with the SEC under the Exchange Act.

                  SECTION 3.9 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; ABSENCE OF UNDISCLOSED
LIABILITIES. (a) Parent has heretofore delivered to the Company complete and
correct copies of the following financial statements (collectively, the
"PARENT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS"), all of which have been prepared from the
books and records of Parent in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and
maintained throughout the periods indicated (except as may be indicated in
the notes thereto) and fairly present in all material respects the financial
condition of Parent as at their respective dates and the results of the
Parent's operations and cash flows for the periods covered thereby:

                                    (i)      unaudited balance sheet (the
                  "PARENT BALANCE SHEET") of Parent as of December 31, 1999 (the
                  "PARENT BALANCE SHEET DATE") and statement of income for the
                  year then ended.

Such statements of income do not contain any items of special or nonrecurring
revenue or income or any revenue or income not earned in the ordinary course
of business, except as expressly specified therein.

                                     -23-
<PAGE>

                  (b)    Except as and to the extent reflected or reserved
against on the Parent Balance Sheet, and except for liabilities which will
not have a Material Adverse Effect, Parent did not have, as of the Parent
Balance Sheet Date, any liabilities, debts or obligations (whether absolute,
accrued, contingent or otherwise) of any nature that would be required as of
such date to have been included on a balance sheet prepared in accordance
with GAAP. Since the Parent Balance Sheet Date, Parent has not incurred or
suffered to exist any liability, debt or obligation (whether absolute,
accrued, contingent or otherwise), except liabilities, debt and obligations
incurred in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice,
none of which will have a Material Adverse Effect or incurred in connection
with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein. Other than the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, since the Parent Balance Sheet
Date, there has been no material adverse change in the business, operations,
assets (including intangible assets), condition (financial or otherwise),
liabilities or results of operations of Parent, taken as a whole, and no
event has occurred which is reasonably likely to cause any such material
adverse change.

                  SECTION 3.10 CERTAIN OTHER FINANCIAL REPRESENTATIONS. Since
the Parent Balance Sheet Date, the Parent's accounts payable have been
accrued and paid in a manner consistent with the Parent's prior practice.

                  SECTION 3.11 ABSENCE OF CHANGES. Except as disclosed in the
Parent Financial Statements or as set forth in Section 3.11 of the Parent
Disclosure Schedule, since December 31, 1999, Parent has conducted its
business only in the ordinary course and Parent has not:

                  (a)    amended or otherwise modified its Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws (or similar organizational document);

                  (b)    issued or sold or authorized for issuance or sale,

shares of its capital stock or any other of its securities, or altered any
term of any of its outstanding securities or made any change in its
outstanding shares of capital stock or other ownership interests or its
capitalization, whether by reason of a reclassification, recapitalization,
stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, stock
dividend or otherwise or redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired any of its
or its parent's capital stock or agreed to do any of the foregoing (whether
or not legally enforceable);

result of the provision of services in the ordinary course of business and
consistent with prior practice;

                  (d)    incurred any indebtedness for borrowed money,
entered into any lease that should be capitalized in accordance with GAAP or
subjected to any Encumbrance or other restriction any of its properties,
business or assets except Encumbrances or other restrictions that could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

                  (e)    discharged or satisfied any Encumbrance, or paid any
obligation or liability, absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise, whether
due or to become due, other than current liabilities shown on Parent's
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 and current liabilities
incurred since that date in the ordinary course of business and consistent
with prior practice;

other employee of equal or higher ranking;

                  (l)    made any loan or advance to any Person other than

                  (o)    changed any accounting practices, policies or

take any of the types of action described in subparagraphs (a) through (o) of
this Section 3.11.

                  SECTION 3.12 TAX MATTERS. (a) Parent represents that, other
than as disclosed in Section 3.12(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule,
Parent has timely filed all United States federal income Tax Returns and all
other material Tax Returns required to be filed by it. All such Tax Returns
are complete and correct in all material respects (except to the extent a
reserve has been established as reflected in the Parent Balance Sheet).
Parent has timely paid and discharged all Taxes due in connection with or

                                    -25-

<PAGE>

with respect to the periods or transactions covered by such Tax Returns and
have paid all other Taxes as are due, except such as are being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings (to the extent that any such proceedings
are required), and there are no other Taxes that would be due if asserted by a
taxing authority, except with respect to which Parent is maintaining reserves
unless the failure to do so could not have a Material Adverse Effect. Except
as does not involve or would not result in liability to Parent that could have
a Material Adverse Effect, (i) there are no tax liens on any assets of Parent;
(ii) Parent has not granted any waiver of any statute of limitations with
respect to, or any extension of a period for the assessment of, any Tax; (iii)
no unpaid (or unreserved) deficiencies for Taxes have been claimed, proposed
or assessed by any taxing or other governmental authority with respect to
Parent; (iv) there are no pending or threatened audits, investigations or
claims for or relating to any liability in respect of Taxes of Parent; and (v)
Parent has not requested any extension of time within which to file any
currently unfiled Tax Returns. The accruals and reserves for Taxes (including
deferred taxes) reflected in the Parent Balance Sheet are in all material
respects adequate to cover all Taxes accruable through the date thereof
(including Taxes being contested) in accordance with GAAP.

                  (b)    Parent represents that, other than as disclosed in
Section 3.12(b) of Parent Disclosure Schedule and other than with respect to
items the inaccuracy of which could not have a Material Adverse Effect: (i)
Parent has not filed or been included in a combined, consolidated or unitary
return (or substantial equivalent thereof) of any Person other than Parent;
(ii) Parent is not liable for Taxes of any Person other than Parent, or
currently under any contractual obligation to indemnify any Person with
respect to Taxes, or a party to any tax sharing agreement or any other
agreement providing for payments by Parent with respect to Taxes; (iii) Parent
is not a party to any joint venture, partnership or other arrangement or
contract which could be treated as a partnership for United States federal
income tax purposes; (iv) Parent is not a party to any agreement, contract,
arrangement or plan that would result (taking into account the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement), separately or in the aggregate, in the
payment of any "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G
of the Code; (v) Parent is not a "consenting corporation" under Section 341(f)
of the Code or any corresponding provision of state, local or foreign law; and
(vi) Parent has not made an election or is required to treat any of its assets
as owned by another Person for federal income tax purposes or as tax-exempt
bond financed property or tax-exempt use property within the meaning of
Section 168 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state, local or
foreign law).

                  SECTION 3.13 RELATIONS WITH EMPLOYEES. (a) Except as set
forth in Section 3.13 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule:

                      (i)      Parent has satisfactory relationships with
their employees in all material respects.

                      (ii)     Parent is and has been in compliance with all
applicable laws respecting employment and employment practices, terms and
conditions of employment, and wages and hours, including any law, rule or
regulation relating to discrimination, fair labor standards and occupational
health and safety, wrongful discharge or violation of the personal rights of
employees, former employees or prospective employees, and Parent is not or has
not engaged in any unfair labor practices, except to the extent a failure to
so comply could not, alone or together with any other failure, have a Material
Adverse Effect.

                      (iii)    No collective bargaining agreement with respect
to the business of Parent is currently in effect or being negotiated. Parent
does not have any obligation to negotiate any such collec-

                                   -26-

<PAGE>

tive bargaining agreement. There are no labor unions representing, purporting
to represent or attempting to represent any employee of Parent.

                      (iv)     There are no strikes, slowdowns or work
stoppages pending or, to the best of Parent's knowledge, threatened with
respect to the employees of Parent, nor has any such strike, slowdown or work
stoppage occurred or, to the best of Parent's knowledge, been threatened.
There is no representation claim or petition or complaint pending before the
National Labor Relations Board or any state or local labor agency and, to the
best of Parent's knowledge, no question concerning representation has been
raised or threatened respecting the employees of Parent.

                      (v)      To the best of Parent's knowledge, no charges
with respect to or relating to the business of Parent are pending before the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or any state or local agency
responsible for the prevention of unlawful employment practices, which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (b)    Except as set forth in Section 3.13(b) of Parent
Disclosure Schedule, Parent is not a contractor or subcontractor with
obligations under any federal, state or local government contract.

                  (c)    Except as set forth in Section 3.13(c) of Parent
Disclosure Schedule, Parent has nor or could not have any material liability,
whether absolute or contingent, including any obligations under any of the
Employee Benefit Plans described in Section 3.13 of the Parent Disclosure
Schedule, with respect to any misclassification of a person as an independent
contractor rather than as an employee.

                  (d)    Section 3.13(d) of Parent Disclosure Schedule
contains a complete and correct list of all employment, management or other
consulting agreements with any Persons employed or retained by Parent
(including independent consultants), complete and correct copies of which have
been delivered to the Company.

                  SECTION 3.14 BENEFIT PLANS. (a) Section 3.14(a) of Parent
Disclosure Schedule sets forth each Employee Benefit Plan, currently or within
the past three years maintained by, contributed by or with respect to which an
obligation to contribute exists on the part of Parent or any of its ERISA
Affiliates, or with respect to which Parent or any ERISA Affiliate may have
any liability or obligation (direct, indirect, contingent or otherwise) to any
employee, former employee, director or former director (or any of their
dependents or beneficiaries) of Parent or to any governmental entity. There
have been delivered to the Company complete and correct copies of all written
Employee Benefit Plans and any related trust agreements, insurance and other
contracts and other funding arrangements, written descriptions of all
unwritten Employee Benefit Plans, the current summary plan descriptions and
current summaries of material modifications relating to each Employee Benefit
Plan, the two most recent Forms 5500 required to have been filed with any
appropriate government agency with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, the
most recent favorable determination letter issued for each Employee Benefit
Plan and related trust that is intended to satisfy the qualification
requirements of sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code (and the latest IRS
form 5300 or 5307, whichever is applicable, filed with the IRS for each such
Employee Benefit Plan), and all collective bargaining agreements pursuant to
which an Employee Benefit Plan is maintained or contributions to an Employee
Benefit Plan are or have been made.

                  (b)    No Employee Benefit Plan is, a "defined benefit plan"
within the meaning of section 3(35) of ERISA to which ERISA applies applicable
to or a plan to which the funding requirements of Section 412 of the Code or
302 of ERISA and neither Parent nor any ERISA Affiliate has or could have any
liability with respect to any such plan. Neither Parent nor any ERISA
Affiliate has ever contributed

                                   -27-

<PAGE>

to, or withdrawn in a complete or partial withdrawal from, any multi-employer
plan (within the meaning of Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA) or incurred
contingent liability under Section 4204 of ERISA. No Employee Benefit Plan
provides for medical or health benefits (through insurance or otherwise) to
individuals other than current employees of Parent (or spouses and dependents
of such employees), except to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable
Benefits Law (including, without limitation, section 4980B of the Code), and
there has been no communication to any person that could reasonably be
expected to promise or guarantee any employee, former employee (or any spouse,
dependent or domestic partner of any employee or former employee) any retiree
medical, life or other retiree benefits.

                  (c)    Each Employee Benefit Plan (and each related trust,
insurance contract and fund) is in compliance in all material respects in form
and in operation with all applicable requirements of Applicable Benefits Law
(including ERISA and the Code), and is being administered in all material
respects in accordance with all relevant plan documents to the extent
consistent with Applicable Benefits Law. There has been no prohibited
transaction with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan which would result in
the imposition of any material unpaid excise tax. No Employee Benefit Plan is
under investigation or audit by the Department of Labor or Internal Revenue
Service other than as part of a routine tax audit of Parent. There are no
legal actions or suits pending or, to the best of Parent's knowledge,
threatened against or with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or the assets
of any such Employee Benefit Plan or against any fiduciary of any such
Employee Benefit Plan and Parent has no knowledge of any facts that could give
rise to any such actions. There has been full compliance in all material
respects with the notice and continuation requirements of Section 4980B of the
Code and Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA, and the requirement of Part
7 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 9801, ET. SEQ. of the Code
applicable to any Employee Benefit Plan. No event has occurred or reasonably
is expected to occur as a result of which Parent or any ERISA Affiliate,
directly or indirectly, could be subject to any material Liability (including
under any indemnity or hold harmless agreement) under ERISA or the Code or any
other Applicable Benefits Law, including, without limitation, Section 4971,
4975 or 4976 of the Code or Sections 406, 409, 502(i) and 502(l) of the Code.

                  (d)    Except as provided in Section 3.14(d) of Parent
Disclosure Statement, no provision of any Employee Benefit Plan becomes
effective in the event of a change in control of the employer maintaining such
Employee Benefit Plan. Parent has not agreed to or has not announced any plan
or commitment (whether or not legally binding) to create any new employee
benefit plan or, with respect to any existing Employee Benefit Plan, to
increase the benefits or change in employee coverage in an amount that could
increase the expense of maintaining such Employee Benefit Plan or to terminate
any Employee Benefit Plan. No provision of any Employee Benefit Plan prohibits
the employer maintaining it from amending or terminating such Employee Benefit
Plan at any time and to the fullest extent that law permits. Except as
provided in Section 3.14(d) of Parent Disclosure Schedule, the consummation
of the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, either
alone or in combination of any other event, will not (i) result in an increase
in the amount of compensation or benefits or accelerate the vesting or timing
of payment of any benefits or compensation payable under any Employee Benefit
Plan in respect of any employee or former employee of the Company, (ii)
entitle any such current or former employee to any benefits or payment, or
(iii) result in any "PARACHUTE PAYMENT" under Section 280G of the Code,
whether or not such payment is considered reasonable compensation for services
rendered. No employee or former employee of the Company will be entitled to
any severance benefits under the terms of any Employee Benefit Plan solely by
reason of the consummation of the Merger or any other transaction contemplated
by this Agreement.

                  (e)    No leased employee (within the meaning of section
414(n) or (o) of the Code) performs any services for Parent.

                                   -28-

<PAGE>

                  (f)    An Employee Benefit Plan does not own or is not
entitled to receive any of the capital stock of Parent.

                  (g)    Except as set forth in Section 3.14(g) of Parent
Disclosure Schedule, there are no material liabilities, whether absolute or
contingent, of Parent relating to workers compensation benefits that are not
fully insured against by a BONA FIDE third-party insurance carrier. Except as
set forth in Section 3.14(g) of Parent Disclosure Schedule, with respect to
each workers' compensation arrangement that is funded wholly or partially
through an insurance policy or public or private fund, all premiums required
to have been paid to date under the insurance policy or fund have been paid,
all premiums required to be paid under the insurance policy or fund through
the Closing Date will have been paid on or before the Closing Date and, as of
the Closing Date, there will be no material liability of Parent or any of its
Subsidiaries under any such insurance policy, fund or ancillary agreement with
respect to such insurance policy or fund in the nature of a retroactive rate
adjustment, loss sharing arrangement or other actual or contingent liability
arising wholly or partially out of events occurring prior to the Closing Date.
Furthermore, at no time since the organization of Parent has any entity (other
than Parent) been an "ERISA affiliate" of Parent.

                  SECTION 3.15 TITLE TO PROPERTIES. Except as set forth in
Section 3.15 of Parent Disclosure Schedule, Parent has good and indefeasible
title to all of its properties and assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances,
except liens for taxes not yet due and payable and such Encumbrances or other
imperfections of title, if any, as do not materially detract from the value of
or interfere with the present use of the property affected thereby or which
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and except
for Encumbrances which secure indebtedness reflected in Parent Balance Sheet.

                  SECTION 3.16 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. (a)
Parent is not in violation of, or in default with respect to, any applicable
statute, regulation, ordinance, writ, injunction, order, judgment, decree or
any Governmental License, including any federal state or local law regarding
or relating to trespass or violations of privacy rights, which violation or
default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (b)    Except as set forth in Section 3.13(b) of the Parent
Disclosure Schedule, there is no order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree
outstanding and no legal, administrative, arbitration or other governmental
proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of Parent's knowledge,
threatened, and there are no claims (including unasserted claims of which
Parent is aware) against Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective
properties, assets or businesses that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect or against Parent or any of its directors or officers,
as such, that relate to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions
contemplated hereby. None of the items listed in Section 3.16(b) of Parent
Disclosure Schedule could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Parent has not been a defendant (either originally, by counter-claim
or impleading) in any legal proceedings which have either been filed in the
past two (2) fiscal years or are currently pending (all as set forth in
Section 3.16(b) of Parent Disclosure Schedule). Except as set forth in Section
3.16(b) of Parent Disclosure Schedule, none of the legal proceedings set forth
in Section 3.16(b) of Parent Disclosure Schedule has had or, to the best of
Parent's knowledge, will have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 3.17 BROKERS. No broker, finder or investment
advisor acted directly or indi rectly as such for Parent, Merger Sub or any
shareholder of Parent in connection with this Agreement or the Merger, and no
broker, finder, investment advisor or other Person is entitled to any fee or
other commission, or other remuneration, in respect thereof based in any way
on any action, agreement, arrange ment or understanding taken or made by or on
behalf of Parent, Merger Sub or any shareholder of Parent.

                  SECTION 3.18 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. (a) Parent owns, or is
licensed or otherwise possesses legally enforceable rights to use, all
patents, trade names, service marks, copyrights, and any applications
therefor, technology, know-how, computer software programs or applications,
and tangible or intangible proprietary information or material that are used
in the business of Parent as currently conducted, except as could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (b)    Except as disclosed in Section 3.18(b) of Parent
Disclosure Schedule or as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect: (i) Parent is not, nor will it be as a result of the execution
and delivery of this Agreement or the performance of its obligations
hereunder, in violation of any licenses, sublicenses and other agreements as
to which Parents is a party and pursuant to which Parent is authorized to use
any patents, trademarks, service marks or copyrights owned by others ("PARENT
THIRD-PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS"); (ii) No claims with respect to the
patents, registered and material unregistered trademarks and service marks,
registered copyrights, trade names and any applications therefor owned by
Parent or Merger Sub (the "PARENT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS"), any trade

to the extent arising out of any use, reproduction or distribution of Parent
Third Party Intellectual Property Rights by or through Parent, are currently
pending or, to the best of Parent's knowledge, have been threatened by any
Person; or (iii) Parent does not know of any valid grounds for any BONA FIDE
claims (1) to the effect that the sale, licensing or use of any product or
service as now sold, licensed or used, or proposed for sale, license or use by
Parent infringes on any copyright, patent, trademark, service mark or trade
secret; (2) against the use by Parent of any trademarks, trade names, trade
secrets, copyrights, patents, technology, know-how or computer software

<PAGE>

         Misrepresentation is curable by the Company or Parent, as the case may
         be, through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts and
         for so long as the Company or Parent, as the case may be, continues to
         exercise such reasonable efforts, neither Parent nor the Company,
         respectively, may terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(d);
         or

         Change, a "TERMINATING CHANGE"), in either case other than by reason
         of a Terminating Breach (as hereinafter defined); PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
         that if any such Terminating Change is curable by the Company or
         Parent, as the case may be, through the exercise of its commercially
         reasonable efforts, and for so long as the Company or Parent, as the
         case may be, continues to exercise such commercially reasonable
         efforts, neither Parent nor the Company, respectively, may terminate
         this Agreement under this Section 7.1(e); or

                  (f)    by Parent or the Company upon a breach of any
         covenant or agreement on the part of the Company or Parent,
         respectively, set forth in this Agreement, such that the conditions
         set forth in Sections 6.2(b) or 6.3(b), as the case may be, would not
         be satisfied (a "TERMINATING BREACH"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if
         such Terminating Breach is curable by the Company or Parent, as the
         case may be, through the exercise of its commercially reasonable
         efforts and for so long as the Company or Parent, as the case may be,
         continues to exercise such commercially reasonable efforts, neither
         Parent nor the Company, respectively, may terminate this Agreement
         under this Section 7.1(f).

or the Company, the respective parties hereto may seek any and all remedies
available to it under applicable law.

the full and punctual performance by Merger Sub of all the obligations
hereunder of Merger Sub or any such assignees.

such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right.

in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original
but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

                  SECTION 8.14  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE COMPANY
SHAREHOLDERS, PARENT, MERGER SUB, AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES,

                  to Section 8.4 unless within 90 days after the occurrence of
                  such event a majority in number of the Members agree in
                  writing to continue the business of the Company and to the

                  10.2. ADMISSION OF A SUBSTITUTE MANAGER. If the Manager

          by the Members pursuant to Section 10.1.1 any Member may, promptly
          after the agreement of the Members to continue as provided in
          Section 10.1.1, nominate a Person for admission as a substitute

          the Members and (ii) such Person has consented in writing to be
          bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Company's Certificate
          of Organization. If such proposed Manager is not admitted, any Member

         Company, the books of the Company shall be closed and appropriate
         debits and credits to the Capital Accounts of the Manager and the

         attributable to the liquidation of the Company's assets (including, in
         the case of assets distributed in kind, the allocation of profit and
         loss that would occur if such assets of the Company were sold at their
         fair market value). The Manager, or if there is no Manager, a trustee
         elected by a majority in number of the Members, shall take full account
         of the Company's assets and liabilities and the assets shall be
         liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair market

                           10.4.3. To the Manager and Members in accordance with

11. POWER OF ATTORNEY.

                  11.1. POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR THE MANAGER. Provided that the
          action to be taken is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
          each Member hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Manager and
          each Person who shall hereafter become a Manager, with full power of
          substitution and resubstitution, his true and lawful attorney in his
          name, place and stead and for his use and benefit to sign, execute,
          certify, acknowledge, swear to, file and record this Agreement and the
          Company's Certificate of Organization, and to sign, execute, certify,
          acknowledge, swear to, file and record any and all instruments
          amending this Agreement and the Company's Certificate of Organization,
          as now or hereafter amended, that the Manager in its sole discretion
          deems appropriate including, without limitation, agreements or other
          instruments or documents (1) to reflect the exercise by the Manager of
          any of the powers granted to it under this Agreement; (2) to reflect
          any amendments made to this Agreement and the Company's Certificate of
          Organization pursuant to this Agreement; (3) to reflect the withdrawal
          of any Member, in the manner prescribed in this Agreement; and (4) to
          reflect actions which may be required of the Company or the Members by
          the laws of any jurisdiction. Each Member authorizes such
          attorney-in-fact to take any further action which such
          attorney-in-fact shall consider necessary or advisable in connection
          with any of the foregoing, hereby giving such attorney-in-fact full
          power and authority to do and perform each and every act or thing
          whatsoever requisite or advisable to be done in and about the
          foregoing as fully as such Member might or could do if personally
          present, hereby ratifying and confirming all that such
          attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue
          hereof.

                  11.2. IRREVOCABILITY; EXERCISE; SURVIVAL. The power of
         attorney granted pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof:

                           11.2.1. Is a special power of attorney coupled with
                  an interest and is irrevocable;

                           11.2.2. May be exercised by such attorney-in-fact by
                  listing all of the Members executing any agreement,
                  certificate, instrument or documents with the single signature
                  of such attorney-in-fact acting as attorney-in-fact for all of
                  them; and

                           11.2.3. Shall survive the delivery of an assignment
                  by a Member of the whole or a portion of his interest in the
                  Company, except that where the purchaser, transferee or
                  assignee thereof has the right to be, or with consent of the
                  Manager is admitted as, a substituted Member, the power of
                  attorney shall survive the delivery of such assignment for the
                  sole purpose of enabling such attorney-in-fact to execute,
                  acknowledge and file any such agreement, certificate,
                  instrument or document necessary to effect such substitution.

12. INDEMNIFICATION OF THE MANAGER.

                  12.1. EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR RETURN OF CAPITAL
         CONTRIBUTIONS. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
         notwithstanding, neither the Manager nor any of its Affiliates, nor any
         agent or other Person authorized to act for the Company, shall be
         personally liable for the return of all or any portion of any Member's
         Capital Contribution, it being expressly understood that any such
         return shall be made solely from Company assets.

                  12.2. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF MANAGER; INDEMNIFICATION.
         Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Manager
         shall not in any event be liable, responsible or accountable in damages
         or otherwise to any of the Members or to the Company for, and the
         Company shall indemnify and save harmless the Manager from, any losses
         or damages incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or
         omitted to be performed by the Manager, if the Manager, in good faith,
         determined that such act was in the best interest of the Company,
         provided that the foregoing shall not relieve the Manager of liability
         or indemnity and save the Manager harmless for the Manager's willful
         misconduct or gross negligence. This limitation of liability, indemnity
         and hold harmless is for the benefit of the Manager and its Affiliates,
         and their respective directors, officers and employees. In particular,
         and without limitation of the foregoing, the Manager shall be entitled
         to indemnification by the Company against the reasonable expenses,
         including attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily incurred by the
         Manager in connection with the defense of any suit or action to which
         the Manager may be made a party by reason of having acted as a Manager,
         to the fullest extent permitted by the Act. The Manager shall be
         entitled to receive, upon application therefor, advances to cover the
         costs of defending any claim or action against it; provided that such
         advances shall be repaid to the Company, without interest, if the
         Manager is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have violated
         the provisions of this Agreement in such a manner as to not entitle
         such Manager to payment of such costs.

13. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  13.1. AMENDMENTS. The Manager may amend any provision of this
         Agreement without the necessity of the consent of any of the Members;
         PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that an amendment which would (i) result in the loss
         of any Member's limited liability, (ii) require any Member to
         contribute additional capital other

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

         than as specifically set forth herein, or (iii) alter the provisions
         of this Section 13.1 shall not be adopted and effective unless it

         affected by such amendment.

                  13.2. INTERESTED TRANSACTIONS. Each of the parties to this
          Agreement hereby (a) expressly acknowledges that certain transactions
          contemplated by this Agreement and powers delegated to the Manager
          hereunder, including, without limitation, the Manager's right to make
          certain allocations under Section 6.2, may constitute interested or
          self-dealing transactions between the Manager and one or more of its
          Affiliates, (b) expressly acknowledges that the Manager may, and
          specifically authorizes it (i) to allocate such amounts as it in its
          sole discretion may determine, to the Capital Accounts of the Manager
          and its Affiliates pursuant to Section 6.2 and (ii) to distribute such
          amounts as it in its sole discretion may discretion may determine to
          Persons who may be Affiliates of the Manager pursuant to Section 6.5;
          and each of the parties to this Agreement hereby agrees that any such
          allocations or distributions will not constitute a breach of fiduciary
          duty by the Manager, and (c) waives, to the fullest extent permitted
          by law, any rights or claims such party may have against the Manager
          or its Affiliates arising in connection with the consummation of such
          transactions or exercise of such powers and that are based on conflict
          of interest, breach of fiduciary duty or any similar grounds;
          PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such waiver shall be effective only to the
          extent that the Manager or its Affiliates have exercised reasonable
          business judgment in the consummation of such transactions or exercise
          of such powers.

                  13.3. VALUATION. Whenever for purposes of this Agreement it is
         necessary to determine the value of the Company Property, such value

         determination by the Manager shall be conclusive and binding on all
         Members.

                  13.4. ARBITRATION. The Members and the Manager hereby agree

         arbitrators one of whom is to be selected by each party and a third
         selected by the arbitrators chosen by the parties. This agreement to
         arbitrate shall be specifically enforceable. Without limiting the
         generality of the foregoing, all questions relating to the breach of
         any obligation, warranty or condition hereunder, and all questions as
         to whether the right to arbitrate exists shall be considered

         such proceedings shall be final and binding on all parties to the
         extent permitted by Massachusetts law and may be

                                      -14-

         construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth
         of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the choice of law principles
         thereof.

                  13.8. WAIVER OF ACTION FOR DISSOLUTION OR PARTITION. Each
         party hereto irrevocably waives during the Term of the Company any
         right to apply for dissolution of the Company. Each party hereto also

         hereto had signed the same document, each of which counterparts shall
         be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same
         Agreement. The Subscription Agreement of each Member shall, upon
