            (b) Filing Default Damages. If a Registration Statement is not filed
on or prior to the Filing Date,  then the Company shall pay to each Holder,  for
each thirty (30) day period (or portion  thereof) of such  failure and until the
date a Registration Statement is filed, an amount in cash, as partial liquidated
damages  and not as a  penalty,  equal  to one  (1%)  percent  of the  aggregate
Purchase Price paid by the Holder for the Company's  securities  pursuant to the
Purchase  Agreement.  If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages

until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full.

            (c)   Effectiveness   Default  and  Other  Default  Damages.   If  a
Registration  Statement is not declared  effective by the Company on or prior to
the Effectiveness Date or a Registration  Statement is declared effective by the
SEC, but for any reason or no reason, the holders of the Registrable  Securities
are not permitted to resell their Registrable  Securities pursuant thereto, then
the Company  shall pay to the Holder,  for each thirty (30) day period until the
Registration  Statement  is declared  effective,  or the holders of  Registrable
Securities may sell all of their Registrable Securities thereunder,  as the case
may be, an amount in cash equal to one (1%)  percent of the  aggregate  Purchase
Price paid by the Holder for the Company's  securities  pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement.

            (d)  Piggyback  Registrations  Rights.  If, at any time  during  the
Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective  Registration Statement covering
the Registrable  Securities  (other than the Registrable  Securities of a Holder
that failed to comply with its obligations  under Section 3(j) hereof),  and the
Company shall  determine to prepare and file with the  Commission a registration
statement  relating to an offering  for its own account or the account of others
under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4
or Form  S-8  (each as  promulgated  under  the  Securities  Act) or their  then
equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with
any  acquisition  of any entity or  business  or equity  securities  issuable in
connection with stock option or other employee  benefit plans,  then the Company
shall send to each Holder a written notice of such determination at least twenty
(20) days  prior to the  filing  of any such  registration  statement  and shall
include in such  registration  statement all Registrable  Securities;  provided,
however, that (i) if, at any time after giving written notice of is intention to
register any  securities  and prior to the  effective  date of the  registration
statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company determines for
any reason not to proceed with such  registration,  the Company will be relieved
of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such
registration,  and  (ii) in case of a  determination  by the  Company  to  delay
registration  of its  securities,  the Company  will be  permitted  to delay the
registration  of  Registrable  Securities  for the same  period  as the delay in
registering such other securities.

            (a) Not less than five (5) business  days prior to the filing of the
Registration  Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto,  the Company  shall  furnish to the Holder a draft of the  Registration
Statement.

            (b) (i)  Prepare  and file  with  the  Commission  such  amendments,
including  post-effective  amendments,  to the  Registration  Statement  and the
Prospectus  used  in  connection  therewith  as may be  necessary  to  keep  the
Registration  Statement  continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable
Securities for the Effectiveness Period; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be
amended  or  supplemented  by  any  required  Prospectus  supplement,  and as so
supplemented  or amended to be filed  pursuant to Rule 424; and (iii) respond to
any comments  received  from the  Commission  with  respect to the  Registration
Statement or any amendment thereto.

            (c)  Notify  the  Holders of  Registrable  Securities  to be sold as
promptly as  reasonably  possible:  (i)(A) when a Prospectus  or any  Prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is proposed
to be filed; (B) when the Commission  notifies the Company whether there will be
a "review" of the Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in
writing on the  Registration  Statement (the Company shall upon request  provide
true and complete  copies thereof and all written  responses  thereto to each of
the Holders,  subject,  if  appropriate,  to the  execution  of  confidentiality
agreements  in form  acceptable  to the  Company);  and (C) with  respect to the
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become
effective;  (ii) of any request by the  Commission or any other Federal or state
governmental  authority  during the period of  effectiveness of the Registration
Statement  for  amendments  or  supplements  to the  Registration  Statement  or
Prospectus  or  for  additional  information;  (iii)  of  the  issuance  by  the
Commission  or any other  federal or state  governmental  authority  of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or
all of the Registrable  Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that
purpose;  (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to
the suspension of the  qualification  or exemption from  qualification of any of
the Registrable  Securities for sale in any  jurisdiction,  or the initiation or
threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any
event or passage of time that makes the  financial  statements  included  in the
Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in
the Registration  Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated  therein by reference  untrue in any material respect or that
requires  any  revisions  to the  Registration  Statement,  Prospectus  or other
documents so that, in the case of the Registration  Statement or the Prospectus,
as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue  statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

            (d) Use its best  efforts to avoid the  issuance  of, or, if issued,
obtain the  withdrawal  of (i) any order  suspending  the  effectiveness  of the
Registration  Statement,  or  (ii)  any  suspension  of  the  qualification  (or
exemption from  qualification) of any of the Registrable  Securities for sale in
any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

            (e) Promptly  deliver to each Holder no later than five (5) business
days  after  the  Effectiveness  Date,  without  charge,  two (2)  copies of the
Prospectus  or  Prospectuses  (including  each  form  of  prospectus)  and  each
amendment  or  supplement  thereto  (and,  upon the  request of the Holder  such
additional  copies as such Persons may  reasonably  request in  connection  with
resales by the Holder of Registrable Securities). The Company hereby consents to
the use of such  Prospectus  and each  amendment  or  supplement  thereto by the
Holder in connection  with the offering and sale of the  Registrable  Securities
covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after
the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(c).

            (f) Prior to any resale of Registrable  Securities by a Holder,  use
its best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in
connection  with  the  registration  or  qualification  (or  exemption  from the
registration or qualification) of such Registrable  Securities for the resale by
the Holder under the  securities or Blue Sky laws of such  jurisdictions  within
the United  States as any Holder  reasonably  requests in writing,  to keep such
registration or  qualification  (or exemption  therefrom)  effective  during the
Effectiveness  Period  and to do any and all  other  acts or  things  reasonably
necessary to enable the  disposition in such  jurisdictions  of the  Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration  Statement;  provided,  however, that the
Company  shall not be  required  to  qualify  generally  to do  business  in any
jurisdiction  where it is not then so  qualified,  subject  the  Company  to any
material tax in any such jurisdiction  where it is not then so subject or file a
general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

            (g)  Upon  the  occurrence  of any  event  contemplated  by  Section
3(c)(v), as promptly as reasonably possible,  prepare a supplement or amendment,
including  a  post-effective  amendment,  to  the  Registration  Statement  or a
supplement to the related  Prospectus or any document  incorporated or deemed to
be incorporated  therein by reference,  and file any other required  document so
that,  as  thereafter  delivered,  neither the  Registration  Statement nor such
Prospectus will contain an untrue  statement of a material fact or omit to state
a  material  fact  required  to be  stated  therein  or  necessary  to make  the
statements  therein,  in light of the circumstances  under which they were made,
not misleading.

            (h) Use its best  efforts to comply  with all  applicable  rules and
regulations of the Commission  relating to the  registration  of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise.

            (i) The Company  agrees that the Selling  Shareholder  Questionnaire
attached  hereto as EXHIBIT A, satisfies all of the  information  required to be
provided by each  Holder in  connection  with the  Registration  Statement.  The
Company shall not be required to include any Holder that does not complete, date
and execute a Selling Shareholder Questionnaire.

            (j)  The  Company  shall  either  (a)  cause  all  the   Registrable
Securities  covered by a Registration  Statement to be listed on each securities
exchange on which  securities  of the same class or series issued by the Company
are then listed,  if any, if the listing of such Registrable  Securities is then
permitted  under the  rules of such  exchange,  or (b)  secure  designation  and
quotation  of  all  the  Registrable  Securities  covered  by  the  Registration
Statement on the Nasdaq National Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap  Market,  or, (c)
if the Company is unsuccessful  in satisfying the preceding  clauses (a) or (b),
the Company  shall secure the  inclusion  for  quotation  on The American  Stock
Exchange,  Inc.  or if it is  unable  to,  the  NASD  Bulletin  Board  for  such
Registrable Securities and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to
arrange  for at least  two (2)  market  makers  to  register  with the  National
Association of Securities  Dealers,  Inc.  ("NASD") as such with respect to such
Registrable  Securities.  The  Company  shall  pay  all  fees  and  expenses  in
connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(j).

            (k) The Company covenants that it shall file the reports required to
be filed by it under the  Securities  Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations  adopted  by the  SEC  thereunder  so long as the  Holder  owns  any
Registrable  Securities,  but in no event  longer than two (2) years;  provided,
however,  the Company may delay any such filing but only pursuant to Rule 12b-25
under the  Exchange  Act,  and the Company  shall take such  further  reasonable
action as the Holder may  reasonably  request  (including,  without  limitation,
promptly obtaining any required legal opinions from Company counsel necessary to
effect the sale of Registrable  Securities under Rule 144 and paying the related
fees and expenses of such counsel), all to the extent required from time to time
to enable such Holder to sell Registrable  Securities without registration under
the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions  provided by (a) Rule
144 under the Securities  Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or
(b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the
request of any Holder of  Registrable  Securities,  the Company  will deliver to
such  Holder a  written  statement  as to  whether  it has  complied  with  such
requirements.

      4.  Registration   Expenses.   All  fees  and  expenses  incident  to  the

            (c) Conduct of Indemnification  Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall
be brought or asserted  against any Person  entitled to indemnity  hereunder (an
"INDEMNIFIED  PARTY"),  such Indemnified  Party shall promptly notify the Person
from whom  indemnity is sought (the  "INDEMNIFYING  PARTY") in writing,  and the
Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including
the employment of counsel  reasonably  satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and
the  payment  of all fees and  expenses  incurred  in  connection  with  defense
thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice
shall not relieve  the  Indemnifying  Party of its  obligations  or  liabilities
pursuant to this  Agreement,  except (and only) to the extent that such  failure
shall have materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

      An Indemnified  Party shall have the right to employ  separate  counsel in
any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof,  but the fees and
expenses of such counsel  shall be at the expense of such  Indemnified  Party or
Parties  unless:  (1) the  Indemnifying  Party has agreed in writing to pay such
fees and  expenses;  (2) the  Indemnifying  Party shall have failed  promptly to
assume  the  defense  of  such  Proceeding  and  to  employ  counsel  reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding;  or (3) the named
parties to any such Proceeding  (including any impleaded  parties)  include both
such Indemnified  Party and the Indemnifying  Party, and such Indemnified  Party
shall have been  advised by counsel  that a conflict  of  interest  is likely to
exist if the same  counsel  were to  represent  such  Indemnified  Party and the
Indemnifying  Party (in which  case,  if such  Indemnified  Party  notifies  the
Indemnifying  Party in writing that it elects to employ separate  counsel at the
expense of the Indemnifying  Party,  the  Indemnifying  Party shall not have the
right to assume the defense  thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of one
separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any matters related on a factual
basis shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party
shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding  affected  without
its written  consent,  which  consent  shall not be  unreasonably  withheld.  No
Indemnifying  Party shall,  without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party,  effect any settlement of any pending  Proceeding in respect of which any
Indemnified Party is a party,  unless such settlement  includes an unconditional
release of such  Indemnified  Party from all  liability  on claims  that are the
subject matter of such Proceeding.

      All  reasonable  fees and  expenses of the  Indemnified  Party  (including
reasonable  fees  and  expenses  to  the  extent  incurred  in  connection  with
investigating   or  preparing  to  defend  such   Proceeding  in  a  manner  not
inconsistent  with this  Section)  shall be paid to the  Indemnified  Party,  as
incurred,  within  ten  (10)  Trading  Days of  written  notice  thereof  to the
Indemnifying  Party;  provided,   that  the  Indemnified  Party  shall  promptly
reimburse  the  Indemnifying  Party for that  portion of such fees and  expenses
applicable to such actions for which such  Indemnified  Party is not entitled to
indemnification  hereunder,  determined  based upon the  relative  faults of the
parties.

            (d) Contribution.  If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a)
or Section  5(b) is  unavailable  to an  Indemnified  Party (by reason of public
policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified  Party,  shall  contribute  to the  amount  paid or  payable by such
Indemnified  Party  as a  result  of  such  Losses,  in  such  proportion  as is
appropriate  to  reflect  the  relative  fault  of the  Indemnifying  Party  and
Indemnified  Party in connection with the actions,  statements or omissions that
resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable  considerations.
The relative fault of such  Indemnifying  Party and  Indemnified  Party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things,  whether any action in question,
including any untrue or alleged untrue  statement of a material fact or omission
or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to
information  supplied by, such Indemnifying  Party or Indemnified Party, and the
parties'  relative intent,  knowledge,  access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent  such  action,  statement  or  omission.  The amount  paid or
payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys' or other
reasonable  fees or  expenses  incurred  by such  party in  connection  with any
Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or
expenses if the  indemnification  provided for in this Section was  available to
such party in accordance with its terms.

                                     ANNEX A

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

      The  Selling  Stockholders  and  any  of  their  pledgees,  assignees  and
successors-in-interest  may, from time to time,  sell any or all of their shares
of Common Stock on any stock exchange,  market or trading  facility on which the
shares  are traded or in private  transactions.  These  sales may be at fixed or
negotiated  prices.  The  Selling  Stockholders  may  use any one or more of the
following methods when selling shares:

      o     ordinary  brokerage  transactions  and  transactions  in  which  the
            broker/dealer solicits purchasers;

      o     block  trades in which the  broker/dealer  will  attempt to sell the
            shares as agent but may  position  and resell a portion of the block
            as principal to facilitate the transaction;

      o     purchases  by  a  broker/dealer  as  principal  and  resale  by  the
            broker/dealer for its account;

      o     an  exchange  distribution  in  accordance  with  the  Rules  of the
            applicable exchange;

      o     privately negotiated transactions;

      o     settlement of short sales;

      o     broker/dealers  may agree with the  Selling  Stockholders  to sell a
            specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

      o     a combination of any such methods of sale; and

      o     any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

      The Selling  Stockholders  may also sell  shares  under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

      Broker/dealers  engaged by the Selling  Stockholders may arrange for other
brokers/dealers to participate in sales.  Broker/dealers may receive commissions
from the Selling  Stockholders (or, if any  broker/dealer  acts as agent for the
purchaser  of shares,  from the  purchaser)  in amounts  to be  negotiated.  The
Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions to exceed what is customary
in the types of transactions involved.

      The Selling  Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security
interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they
default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured
parties  may offer and sell the  shares of common  stock from time to time under
this  prospectus,  or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3)
or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of
Selling  Stockholders to include the pledgee,  transferee or other successors in
interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus.

<PAGE>

      The  Selling  Stockholders  and any  broker/dealers  or  agents  that  are
involved  in selling  the shares may be deemed to be  "underwriters"  within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event,  any
commissions  received  by such  broker/dealers  or agents  and any profit on the
resale  of the  shares  purchased  by  them  may be  deemed  to be  underwriting
commissions under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders have informed the
Company  that it does not have  any  agreement  or  understanding,  directly  or
indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock.

      The  Company is  required  to pay all fees and  expenses  incident  to the
registration  of the shares.  The Company  has agreed to  indemnify  the Selling
Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities,  including
liabilities under the Securities Act.

            (c)  Financial  Statements.  The  audited,  or  unaudited if audited
unavailable,  balance  sheets and  statements of income of Seller for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2004, December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 have been
previously  provided  to Buyer  (such  financial  statements  being  referred to
collectively  herein  as the  "Financial  Statements").  All  of  the  Financial
Statements  (including the notes thereto) have been prepared in accordance  with
generally accepted accounting principles applied consistently during the periods
covered  thereby,  are  complete  and  correct,  present  fairly  the  financial
condition  of Seller and the results of its  operations  as of the dates of such
statements and for the periods  covered  thereby,  and are  consistent  with the
books and records of Seller.

            (d) Title to Assets; Liens; Condition of Assets. Except as set forth
on Schedule 3.1(d),  Seller has good and marketable title to the Assets that are
owned and a valid and  assignable  leasehold  interest  in the  Assets  that are
leased.  The  Assets  are  free  and  clear of all  mortgages,  liens,  security
interests,  pledges,  charges and other encumbrances of every nature whatsoever,
except for liens for current taxes not yet due and payable or being contested in
good  faith  by  appropriate  proceedings,  and  such  imperfections  of  title,
easements and  encumbrances  as do not materially  detract from the value of the
properties  subject  thereto or affected  thereby or otherwise do not materially
interfere with their present or future use in a manner  consistent  with present
practices of the Business. The Assets constitute all of the material assets used
to conduct  the  Business.  All of the  leasehold  improvements  included in the
Assets  are in  good  repair,  have  been  well  maintained,  conform  with  all
applicable  ordinances,  regulations and zoning,  environmental  and other laws,
regulations  and  ordinances  and do not  encroach on  property  of others.  All
machinery  and  equipment is in good working  order subject to ordinary wear and
tear.

            (e) Taxes

                  (i)  Definitions.  As used  herein,  "IRC" means the  Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and interpreted by treasury  regulations;  "Tax
Return" means any return, declaration,  report, claim for refund, or information
return or statement  relating to Taxes,  including  any  schedule or  attachment
thereto,  and  including any  amendment  thereof,  and "Taxes means any federal,
state, local, or foreign income, gross receipts,  license, payroll,  employment,

                  (ii)  Returns and  Payments.  Seller has filed all Tax Returns
that it was  required to file.  All such Tax Returns are correct and complete in
all respects.  All Taxes owed by Seller (whether or not shown on any Tax Return)
have been paid. Seller currently is not the beneficiary of any extension of time
within which to file any Tax Return,  or to the extent due,  reserved for on the
Financial  Statements.  No  claim  has  ever  been  made  by an  authority  in a
jurisdiction where Seller does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject
to taxation by that jurisdiction.  There are no liens, encumbrances,  or charges
against  any of the assets of Seller that arose in  connection  with any failure
(or alleged failure) to pay any Tax.

                  (iii)  Withholding  Taxes.  Seller has  withheld  and paid all
Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or
owing to any employee, independent contractor,  creditor,  shareholder, or other
third party.

                  (iv) Tax  Liabilities.  Neither  Seller's  nor any of Seller's
officers,  directors,  or employees responsible for Tax matters has knowledge of
any facts that would lead them to expect any authority to assess any  additional
Taxes for any period for which Tax Returns have been filed.  There is no dispute
or claim  concerning any Tax liability of Seller either claimed or raised by any
authority in writing or as to which any of Seller or any of Seller's,  officers,
directors,  or employees  responsible  for Tax matters has knowledge  based upon
personal contact with any agent of such authority. Schedule 3.1(e) lists all Tax
Returns filed for taxable periods ended on or after December 31, 2001, indicates
those Tax Returns  that have been audited and  indicates  those Tax Returns that
currently  are the  subject of an audit.  Seller has  disclosed  on its  federal
income  Tax  Returns  all  positions  taken  therein  that  could give rise to a
substantial  understatement  of federal  income  Tax  within the  meaning of IRC
Section 6662.

                  (v) Statute of Limitations.  Seller has not waived any statute
of  limitations  in  respect  of Taxes or agreed to any  extension  of time with
respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency.

            (f)  Absence  of  Undisclosed  Liabilities.  Except  as set forth on
Schedule 3.1(f), Seller had and has no indebtedness,  liabilities or obligations
of any  nature or kind,  whether  accrued,  absolute,  contingent  or  otherwise
asserted  or  unasserted,  known or  unknown  and  whether  due or to become due
(including,  without limitation,  potential  liabilities relating to products or
services  provided  by  Seller  or the  conduct  of the  Business  prior  to the
Effective  Date,  regardless  of  whether  claims in  respect  thereof  had been
asserted as of such date).

            (g)  Inventory.  Except to the extent of  reserves  set forth in the
Financial Statements, all Inventory is of a quality and quantity saleable in the
ordinary  course of the Business at prevailing  market prices and is adequate in
amount,  consistent with past practices of the Business,  to continue operations
without creating backlogs, in excess of customary levels for the Business.

            (h) Absence of Certain  Changes.  Since the December 31, 2003, there
has not been:

                  (i) any  operation of the Business out of the ordinary  course
of  business  or any  change in the  financial  condition,  properties,  assets,
liabilities,  business,  prospects or operations of the Business that, by itself
or in  conjunction  with all  other  such  changes,  has or is  likely to have a
materially adverse effect on the Business;

                  (ii) any purchase, sale, license or other disposition,  or any
agreement  or  other  arrangement  for the  purchase,  sale,  license  or  other
disposition,  of any  part of  Seller's  properties  or  assets  (including  any
patents, trademarks and copyrights) included in the Assets, other than purchases
for and sales from inventory in the ordinary course of business;

                  (iii) any damage,  destruction or loss, whether or not covered
by insurance,  adversely affecting Seller's properties or assets included in the
Assets or the Business in excess of $5,000 per single occurrence;

                  (iv) any change with respect to Seller's officers,  management
or  supervisory  personnel  employed  in the  Business,  other  than  changes in
supervisory personnel occurring in the ordinary course of business;

                  (v) any payment or  discharge of a lien or liability of Seller
that is not shown on the Financial Statements incurred in the ordinary course of
business thereafter;

                  (vi) any  obligation  or  liability  incurred by Seller to any
bank,  officer,  director,  employee,  other  than  in the  ordinary  course  of
business,  or any loans or  advances  made by Seller to any  officer,  director,
employee,  except for normal  compensation  and  expense  allowances  payable to
officers or employees;

                  (vii)  any  change  in the  accounting  methods  or  practices
followed by Seller or any change in  depreciation  or  amortization  policies or
rates theretofore adopted;

                  (viii) any change in the manner in which  Inventory  of Seller
used in the Business is marketed or any  increase in Inventory  levels in excess
of historical levels for comparable periods;

                  (ix) any delay or  postponement  of  payment  of any  accounts
payable or other  liabilities  relating to the  Business  outside  the  ordinary
course of business;

                  (x) any declaration,  setting aside or payment of any dividend
or distribution  with respect to its capital stock,  or redemption,  purchase or
other acquisition of its capital stock;

                  (xi) any change in the employment terms or  employment-related
benefits for any independent  sales  representative  or employee employed in the
Business outside the ordinary course of business; or

                  (xii) any  agreement or  understanding,  whether in writing or
otherwise,  for Seller to take any of the actions  specified in subsections  (i)
through (xi) above.

            (i) Trade Secrets and Customer  Lists.  Seller owns or has the right
to use,  free and clear of any  claims or rights of others,  all trade  secrets,
inventions,  developments,  customer lists,  manufacturing and secret processes,
hardware designs,  programming  processes,  software and other information,  and
know-how (if any) required for the Business,  including  products  licensed from
others. There are no payments that are required to be made by Seller for the use
of such trade secrets,  inventions,  developments,  customer lists,  copyrighted
materials,  manufacturing and secret processes and know-how. Seller is not using
or in  any  way  making  any  unlawful  or  wrongful  use  of  any  confidential
information,  copyrighted  materials,  know-how  or trade  secrets  of any third
party, including, without limitation, any former employer of any present or past
employee, of Seller or of any of Seller's predecessors. To Seller's knowledge no
employee is or was a party to any  non-competition or confidentiality  agreement
with any party other than Seller or Buyer.

            (j) Contracts. All of the Contracts are in full force and effect and
are freely assignable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

                  (i) Copies of all  Contracts,  have been  provided to Buyer or
their counsel prior to the execution of this Agreement and are true, correct and
complete,  and  have not  been  subject  to any  amendment,  extension  or other
modification as of the date hereof.

                  (ii) Each  Contract  is in full force and effect  without  any
default  thereunder by Seller or, to the knowledge of Seller, by any other party
thereto (a "default"  being defined for purposes  hereof as an actual default or
any set of facts  that  would,  upon  receipt  of  notice  or  passage  of time,
constitute a default).

                  (iii) All Contracts  with respect to the real estate  premises
on which the Business has been  conducted  as of the  Effective  Date shall each
have a  minimum  remaining  term of at least  twenty  five (25)  years,  pending

                  (iv) There are no employment  contracts  with any employees of

            (k)  Litigation.  There are no  suits,  actions  or  administrative,
arbitration or other proceedings or governmental  investigations  pending or, to
the knowledge of Seller, threatened against or relating to Seller, the Assets or
the Business.  Seller is not otherwise engaged as a party in any suit, action or
administrative,  arbitration or other proceeding. Seller has not entered into or
been subject to any consent decree,  compliance order, or  administrative  order
with respect to any property owned, operated,  leased, or used by Seller. Seller
has  not  received  any  request  for   information,   notice,   demand  letter,
administrative inquiry, or formal or informal complaint or claim with respect to
any property  owned,  operated,  leased or used by Seller or any  facilities  or
operations  thereon.  Seller  has  not  been  named  by the  U.S.  Environmental
Protection  Agency or a state or local  environmental  agency  as a  potentially
responsible  party  (or  similar  designation  under  applicable  state  law) in
connection with any site at which  hazardous  substances,  hazardous  materials,
toxic  substances,  oil,  or  petroleum  products  have  been  released  or  are
threatened to be released. There are no existing or, to the knowledge of Seller,
threatened  product  liability,  warranty or other similar claims,  or any facts
upon which a claim of such nature could be based, against Seller or the Business
for  services  or  products  that are  defective  or fail to meet any service or
product  warranties.  Seller is not aware of any facts providing a basis for any
matter  addressed in this  Section  3.1(k) and has no reason to believe that any

            (l)  Compliance  with Laws.  Seller is in compliance in all material
respects with, and Seller does not have any material  liability  under,  any and
all  applicable  federal,   state  or  local  statutes,   laws,  ordinances  and
regulations  applicable  to the Business,  including,  without  limitation,  any
applicable franchise, health,  environmental,  safety, employment (including the
Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended ("WARN")),
labor relations or other statute, law, ordinance or regulation.

            (m)  Insurance.  The Assets  are  insured to the extent set forth in
Schedule  3.1(m)  which  sets  forth  a list  of  all  insurance  policies,  the
expiration  date  thereof  and a  brief  description  of the  coverage  provided
therein.  All such present  policies of insurance are with  insurance  companies
reasonably  believed by Sellers to be financially sound and reputable and are in
full force and effect,  all premiums with respect  thereto are  currently  paid,
Sellers are in compliance with the terms thereof and no party to any such policy
has repudiated any provision thereof. Such insurance policies are sufficient for
compliance by Sellers with all requirements of law and all agreements and leases
to which Sellers are a party and provide insurance  coverage for the properties,
assets,  operations  and employees of Sellers  generally  comparable in type and
amount to that which is  customarily  carried by other  corporations  engaged in
similar  businesses and of approximately the same size and similarly situated as
Seller. The workmen's  compensation insurance of Seller complies with applicable
statutory requirements as to the amount of such coverage.

            (n)  Authorizations.  Each Authorization is in full force and effect
without any default thereunder by Seller (a "default" being defined for purposes
hereof as an actual  default or any set of facts which  would,  upon  receipt of
notice or passage of time, constitute a default),  and can be assigned by Seller
to Buyer  hereunder  such that it will  remain in full  force and  effect  after
giving effect to the purchase of the Assets.  Seller has not received any notice
of any claim or charge that Seller has  breached any  Authorization.  Seller has
the right to conduct the Business that it now conducts  without any  limitations
or restrictions of any kind.

            (o) Transactions with Interested  Persons.  No officer,  supervisory
employee or director of Seller, nor any of their respective spouses or children,
owns,  directly or  indirectly,  on an individual  or joint basis,  any material
interest in, or serves as an officer or director or in another similar  capacity
of, any  customer,  competitor  or  supplier of Seller or the  Business,  or any
organization  that has a material  contract  or  arrangement  with Seller or the
Business.

            (p) Employment  Benefit Plans.  Schedule 3.1(p) sets forth a list of
all  employee  benefit  plans,  as that term is defined  in Section  3(3) of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, ("ERISA"), that now
are or ever have been  maintained by Seller (or any  subsidiary of Seller) or to
which Seller (or any subsidiary of Seller) now has or has ever had an obligation
to contribute  (the  "Employee  Benefit  Plans").  No event has occurred nor has
there been any omission which would result in violation of any laws,  rulings or
regulations applicable to any Employee Benefit Plan. There are no claims pending
or threatened with respect to any Employee  Benefit Plan,  other than claims for
benefits by employees,  beneficiaries or dependents arising in the normal course
of the  operation  of any such plan.  Each such  Benefit  Plan (and each related
trust,  insurance  contract,  or fund)  complies in form and in operation in all
material  respects with the applicable  requirements of the Employee  Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), the Code and other applicable
laws.

Environmental Information.

                  (i) Except for its fueling  activity with respect to Jet A and
avgas fuel, all of which was conducted in full  compliance of all  Environmental
Laws (as defined below), Seller has never generated, used, stored or handled any
Hazardous  Materials  (as  hereinafter  defined)  nor  has it  treated,  stored,
disposed of,  spilled or released any Hazardous  Materials at any site presently
or formerly owned,  leased,  operated or used by Seller or shipped any Hazardous
Materials for treatment, storage or disposal at any other site or facilities. No
other  person has ever  generated,  used,  handled,  stored or  disposed  of any
Hazardous Materials at any site presently or formerly owned, leased, operated or
used by Seller,  nor has there been or is there  threatened  any  release of any
Hazardous  Materials on or at any such site.  Seller does not  presently  own or
lease,  nor has it  previously  owned or leased,  any site on which  underground
storage tanks are or were located.  No lien has been imposed by any governmental
agency on any  property,  facility,  machinery,  or equipment  owned,  operated,
leased  or used by Seller  in  connection  with the  presence  of any  Hazardous
Materials. For purposes of this Agreement,  "Hazardous Materials" shall mean and

substance, petroleum product, oil, toxic substance or pollutant as defined in or
pursuant  to the  Resource  Conservation  and  Recovery  Act,  as  amended,  the

amended,  the  Hazardous  Materials  Transportation  Act or any  other  foreign,
federal,  state or local law,  regulation,  ordinance,  rule or by-law,  whether
existing as of the date  hereof,  previously  enforced or  subsequently  enacted
pertaining to environmental or health and safety matters.

                  (ii)  Seller has no material  liability  under nor has it ever
violated any  Environmental Law (as hereinafter  defined),  a violation of which
may have a material  adverse effect on the Business or the Assets,  with respect
to any property owned,  operated,  leased,  or used by Seller and any facilities
and operations thereon. In addition,  any property owned,  operated,  leased, or
used by Seller,  and any  facilities  and  operations  thereon are  presently in
compliance with all applicable  Environmental  Laws. Seller has not entered into
or been subject to any consent decree,  compliance order or administrative order
with respect to any  environmental  or health and safety  matter or received any
request for  information,  notice,  demand letter,  administrative  inquiry,  or
formal or  informal  complaint  or claim with  respect to any  environmental  or
health and safety matter or any enforcement of any Environmental Law; and Seller
has no reason to believe that any of the above will be forthcoming. For purposes
of this Agreement,  "Environmental  Law" shall mean any  environmental or health
and safety-related law, regulation,  rule, ordinance,  or by-law at the federal,
foreign, state, or local level.

                  (iii)  Seller has  provided  to Buyer  copies of all  material
documents,   records,  and  information   available  to  Seller  concerning  any
environmental or health and safety matter relevant to Seller,  whether generated

into any  negotiations  or agreements  with any Person  relating to any remedial
action or Hazardous Materials or Environmental Law-related claim.

otherwise modify its relationship  with Seller in a manner that would be adverse
to Seller.

Seller is in compliance  with all  applicable  laws and  regulations  respecting
labor, employment, fair employment practices,  worker's compensation,  terms and
conditions  of  employment,  and  wages  and  hours.  There  are no  charges  of

                                    EMPLOYEES

      6.1  Employees.  Seller shall be  responsible  for all unpaid earned wages
(including  unpaid accrued vacation  benefits) and  unreimbursed  expenses which
were  incurred  on or before the Closing  Date and shall pay such unpaid  earned

                                   ARTICLE 7
                            COVENANTS NOT TO COMPETE

      7.1 Covenant Not to Compete.

            (a) Restrictions on Competitive Activities. In consideration for the
agreements of Buyer in connection with the sale and purchase of the Assets,  and
other good and valuable  consideration,  Seller and Crotts  acknowledge that the
Business  has  uniquely  valuable  and  proprietary  information  that  would be
competitively  unfair  to make  available  to any  competitor  of  Buyer  as the
acquirer of the Assets.  For this and other  reasons,  and as an  inducement  to
Buyer to enter into this Agreement, Seller and Crotts agree that for a period of
five (5) years after the Closing Date,  Seller and Crotts shall not, directly or
indirectly,  for  their  own  benefit  or as  agent  for  another,  carry  on or
participate in the ownership,  management or control of, or the financing of, or
be  employed  by, or consult or  otherwise  render  services  to, or allow their
respective  names or reputations to be used in or by any other present or future
business  enterprise  that  directly or  indirectly  competes  with Buyer in any
business  activity  similar  to any  business  activity  comprising  part of the
Business being acquired by Buyer in Finney County or in the State of Kansas.

            (b) Exceptions.  Nothing  contained  herein shall limit the right of
Crotts as investor to hold and make investments in securities of any corporation
or limited  partnership that is registered on a national  securities exchange or
admitted  to  trading  privileges  thereon  or  actively  traded in a  generally
recognized  over-the-counter  market,  provided the equity  interest  therein of
Crotts in the  aggregate  does not exceed one  percent  (1%) of the  outstanding
shares or interests in such corporation or limited partnership.

                                                                    Exhibit 10.1

            (c) Restrictions on Soliciting  Employees.  To protect Buyer against
any  efforts  by  Seller  and/or  Crotts  to cause  former  employees  of Seller
subsequently employed by Buyer in the Business acquired from Seller to terminate
their  employment,  Seller and Crotts  agree that for a period of five (5) years
following  the  Closing  Date,  each of Seller and Crotts  will not  directly or
indirectly,  (i) induce any such  employee of Buyer to leave the employ of Buyer
or to accept any other employment  position,  or (ii) assist any other entity in
hiring any such employee.

            (d)  Nondisclosure  of Propriety Data.  Seller,  Crotts,  nor any of
their  respective  agents or  representatives,  shall, at any time, make use of,
divulge or otherwise disclose, directly or indirectly, any trade secret or other
proprietary  data (including,  but not limited to, any customer list,  record or
financial information) concerning the Assets (including, but not limited to, the
Business)  acquired  by  Buyer  hereunder  that  Seller  or any  such  agent  or
representative may have learned prior to the Closing.

            (e) Special  Remedies and  Enforcement.  Seller  recognize and agree
that a breach by Seller  and/or Crotts of any of the covenants set forth in this
section could cause  irreparable harm to Buyer,  that Buyer's remedies at law in
the event of such breach would be inadequate, and that accordingly, in the event
of any such  breach a  restraining  order or  injunction  or both may be  issued
against  Seller and/or Crotts in addition to any other rights and remedies which
are available to Buyer.  If this Section is more  restrictive  than permitted by
applicable  law,  this Section  shall be limited to the extent  required by such
law.

                                   ARTICLE 8
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

      8.1 Seller's and Crotts'  Indemnity.  Seller and Crotts shall  jointly and
severally  indemnify,  defend and hold harmless  Buyer,  its assigns,  and their
respective   officers,   directors,   shareholders,    employees,   agents   and
representatives  (collectively "Buyer Indemnitees") against all damages, claims,
liabilities,  losses and other expenses, including without limitation reasonable
attorneys'  fees and  costs,  whether or not a lawsuit  or other  proceeding  is
filed,  that arise out of: (i) Seller's  operation of the Business or use of the
Assets; (ii) Seller's operation of any other business or any other transactions,
including  without  limitation all activities  and  transactions  related to the
Aircraft,  whether  prior to or  following  the Closing  Date;  (iii) a material
breach of any obligation,  representation,  warranty, covenant or agreement made
by Seller in this  Agreement,  or any  material  representation  or  warranty by
Seller contained herein,  in any document  furnished or required to be furnished
pursuant to this  Agreement by Seller to Buyer or any of their  representatives,
or in any documents  furnished to Buyer in connection with the Closing hereunder
being false; (iv) any violations of COBRA,  ERISA, the Code or any other federal
or state law arising as a result of the termination of any of Seller's employees
as a result of the purchase of the Assets; (v) any use, spill,  release,  escape
or presence of Hazardous Materials in or about any real property used, leased or
owned by Seller;  (vi) any  violations  of  Environmental  Laws  arising  out of
Seller's  operation of the Business or  otherwise  arising  prior to the Closing
Date;  and  (vii)  cost and  expenses  (including  reasonable  attorneys'  fees)
incurred by Buyer in  connection  with any  action,  suit,  proceeding,  demand,
assessment or judgment  incident to any of the foregoing.  Seller and/or Crotts,
as the case may be, shall have exclusive  control over the settlement or defense
of such  claims or  actions,  except  that Buyer  Indemnitees  may appear in the
action,  at their own expense,  if such  parties  reasonably  determine  that an
actual conflict of interest would exist by Seller's representation of such Buyer
Indemnitees  and Seller  and/or  Crotts in such action.  In the event Seller and
Crotts  fail to  promptly  indemnify  and defend  such  claims  and/or pay Buyer
Indemnitees'  expenses,  as provided above,  each of the Buyer Indemnitees shall
have the right to defend  itself,  and in that case,  Seller  and  Crotts  shall
jointly  and  severally  reimburse  such  Buyer  Indemnitees  for  all of  their
attorneys' fees, costs and damages incurred in settling or defending such claims
within thirty (30) days of each of such parties' written  requests.  Buyer shall
have the right to set off all obligations of Seller and Crotts incurred pursuant
to this Section 8.1 against any debt or other monetary obligation owed to Seller
and Crotts.

      8.2 Buyer's  Indemnity.  Buyer shall  indemnify,  defend and hold harmless
Seller, its assigns,  and their respective  officers,  directors,  shareholders,
employees,  agents  and  representatives   (collectively  "Seller  Indemnitees")
against all damages, claims, liabilities,  losses and other expenses,  including
without  limitation  reasonable  attorneys'  fees and  costs,  whether  or not a
lawsuit or other proceeding is filed, that arise out of: (i) Buyer's  operations
of the Business or use of the Assets following the Closing Date, but only to the
extent any such damages, claims,  liabilities,  losses and other expenses do not
arise from or are not  otherwise  related to events  taking  place  prior to the
Closing or are not otherwise  indemnified by Seller in Section 8.1 above; (ii) a
material  breach  of  any  obligation,  representation,  warranty,  covenant  or
agreement made by Buyer in this  Agreement,  or any material  representation  or
warranty by Buyer contained herein, in any document  furnished or required to be

representatives,  or in any documents furnished to Seller in connection with the
Closing hereunder being false; and (iii) cost and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys'  fees)  incurred  by  Seller in  connection  with any  action,  suit,
proceeding,  demand,  assessment or judgment  incident to any of the  foregoing.
Buyer shall have exclusive control over the settlement or defense of such claims
or actions,  except that Seller  Indemnitees may appear in the action,  at their
own expense,  if such parties  reasonably  determine that an actual  conflict of
interest would exist by Buyer's  representation  of such Seller  Indemnitees and
Buyer in such action. In the event Buyer fails to promptly  indemnify and defend
such claims and/or pay Seller Indemnitees'  expenses, as provided above, each of
the Seller  Indemnitees shall have the right to defend itself, and in that case,
Buyer shall reimburse such Seller  Indemnitees for all of their attorneys' fees,
costs and damages  incurred in settling or defending  such claims  within thirty
(30) days of each of such parties' written requests.

      8.3  Contrary  Intentions.  The  foregoing  indemnities  shall be  payment
obligations and not merely reimbursement  obligations,  it being understood that
Crotts,  Seller  and Buyer  have a  "contrary  intention"  with  respect  to the
provisions of paragraph 2 of Section 2778 of the California Civil Code.
