     the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and the rules and
     regulations promulgated thereunder and the answer in the Registration

     promulgated by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants,
     inspection of the minute books of meetings of shareholders and the Board of
     Directors of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries held since
     [date], and inquiries of officials of the Company responsible for financial
     and accounting matters, nothing came to their attention that caused them to
     believe that;
                         (A)  any  unaudited financial statements of the Company
          and its consolidated subsidiaries for any period subsequent to [date]
          and for any comparable period of the preceding year included in the

          to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting
          requirements of the Securities Act and the published rules and
          regulations thereunder with respect to registration statements on Form
          S-14 and proxy statements, or such unaudited financial statements are
          not fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting

          unaudited consolidated financial statements and as of a specified date
          not more than five days prior to the date of any such letter, there
          have been any changes in the capital stock of the Company and its
          consolidated subsidiaries or any increases in the long-term debt of
          the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries or any decreases in net
          current assets, net assets or shareholders' equity of the Company and
          its consolidated subsidiaries, in each case as compared with the
          amounts shown in the balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated
          subsidiaries as of [date] included in the Registration Statement,
          except in each case for changes, increases or decreases which the

          occurred or may occur and which are described in such letter; and
                         (C)  for  the  period  from [date] to such respectively
          specified dates there were any decreases in net revenues or in the
          total or per share amounts of income before extraordinary items or of
          net income of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, in each
          case as compared with the comparable period of the preceding year,
          except in each case for decreases which the Registration Statement
          discloses have occurred or may occur and which are described in such
          letter.
                    (iv)  in  addition  to  the examination referred to in their
     reports included in the Registration Statement and Definitive Proxy
     Statement and the limited procedures, inspection of minute books and
     inquiries and other procedures referred to in clause (iii) above, they have
     carried out certain specified procedures, not constituting an audit, with
     respect to certain amounts, percentages, numbers of shares and financial
     information which are derived from the general accounting records of the
     Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, which appear in the Registration
     Statement and Definitive Proxy Statement and which are specified by
     Acquiror, and have compared certain of such amounts, percentages, numbers
     and financial information with the accounting records of the Company and
     have found them to be in agreement; and
                    (v)  on  the  basis  of  a  review of this Agreement and the
     transactions contemplated hereby, in their opinion, Accounting Principles
     Board Opinion No. 16 requires that such combination be accounted for as a
     purchase of the net assets of the Company by Acquiror.

            -------------
enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and

defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other
Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective
Affiliates, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and
federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the "NEW
YORK COURTS"). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby
or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the
Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert
in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such New York Court, or that such Proceeding has been
commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or
certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party

all right to trial by jury in any

                                       37
<PAGE>
legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the

                 ------------
not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or
affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be
deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent,
and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. This
Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no
presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by
virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the
Transaction Documents.

          12.10.  Execution.   This  Agreement  may  be  executed in two or more
                  ---------
counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the
same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by
each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both
parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and
binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is
executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page
were an original thereof.

          12.11. Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
                 ------------
invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the
remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid
and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so
agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

delivered pursuant to the terms

this Agreement.
