          4.1.2 agree that the  Purchaser  is entering  into this  Agreement  in
reliance  on each of the  Warranties  and agree that save as  provided in clause
4.1.1  no  information   of  which  the  Purchaser  has  knowledge   (actual  or
constructive)  will  prejudice any claim made by the Purchaser in respect of the
Warranties  or will operate to reduce any amount  recoverable  in respect of any
breach of any of the Warranties;

          4.1.3 will  indemnify the Purchaser  against any  reasonable  costs or

or against any director, officer or employee of the Company, on which or on whom
any of them may have  relied for advice or  information  before  agreeing to any
term of this  Agreement or authorising  any statement in the Disclosure  letter,
but so that this  undertaking  will not preclude  any  Warrantor  from  claiming
against any other  Warrantor  under any right of  contribution  or  indemnity to
which such Warrantor may be entitled

     4.2 In the event of any claim being made against the  Warrantors  under the
Warranties or the Tax Covenant  ("Relevant Claim") the Warrantors may each elect
(by giving notice to the Purchaser  within 3 months of the Relevant  Claim being
notified to the Warrantors  pursuant to clause 4.5.3.1 or under the Tax Covenant
as the case may be) to satisfy their  liability in respect of the Relevant Claim
by delivery to the  Purchaser  of a  promissory  note in the agreed  terms ("the
Note") in which event the following provisions shall apply:-

          4.2.1 The restrictions in the Lock Up Agreement on such  Consideration
Shares  shall be lifted with respect to such number of  Consideration  Shares as
shall have the market value equal to 110% of the value of the Warranty Claim

          4.2.2  The  principal  amount  of the Note  shall be the  value of the
Relevant  Claim and the Note  shall not carry  interest  (at the rate  otherwise
provided for in clause 11 below) unless or until such time as the  Consideration

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

the relevant Warrantor(s) to do execute or carry out the relevant matter on
their behalf  (including  without  limitation  execution of any transfer or sale
document in respect of the Consideration Shares).

          4.3 Each of the  Warranties  will be construed as a separate  Warranty
and will not be limited or restricted by reference  to, or inference  from,  the
terms of any other Warranty or any other term of this Agreement, provided that a
disclosure against one warranty shall be deemed to apply to all the Warranties

     4.4 In this  Agreement,  unless  otherwise  specified,  where any  Warranty
refers to the knowledge,  information, belief or awareness of the Warrantors (or
similar  expression),  each  Warrantor  will be deemed  to have such  knowledge,
information,  belief or awareness as such Warrantor would have obtained had such
Warrantor  made all due and careful  enquiries  into the subject  matter of that
Warranty and the knowledge,  information, belief and awareness of any one of the
Warrantors shall be imputed to the remaining Warrantors

     4.5 In this clause 4.5 and clause 4.6  "claim"  means any claim which would
(disregarding  the  provisions  of this  clause  4.5) be  capable  of being made
against  the  Warrantors  (or  any  of  them)  for  breach  of  the  Warranties.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing  provisions of clause 4 and subject to clauses 11
and 12 below :-

          4.5.1 the  aggregate  liability  of the  Warrantors  in respect of all
claims  will be  limited  to US $  250,000  plus the  lower of the  value of the
Consideration  Shares on Completion  (such value being the average closing price
quoted by NASDAQ  over the 20  Business  Days  prior to such  date) and the fair
market value of the  Consideration  Shares on the first day that the  Warrantors
are lawfully and contractually able to sell the same having regard to the effect
that such sale will have on the market price for the Consideration Shares

          4.5.2 that part of the cash  consideration of $250,000  referred to in
clause  3.1.1  received by him plus the lower of the value of the  Consideration
Shares  received by him on  Completion  (determined  in  accordance  with clause
4.5.1)  and  the  fair  market  value  of such  Consideration  Shares  again  as
determined in accordance with clause 4.5.1;

          4.5.3  subject to the  provisions  of clause 4.5.2 above the aggregate
liability of the Trustees under the Warranties shall be limited to the net value
from  time to time of the  assets of the trust  subject  to which  they now hold
those of the Shares registered in their names, such value to be as at the date a
claim is made by the Purchaser under the Warranties, after deduction of sums due
to the Inland Revenue and costs and fees properly chargeable against the capital
of the said trust,  and the Trustee  hereby  undertakes  with the Purchaser that
they will not  distribute  any of the assets of the said  trust,  other than for
payment of such sums,  costs and fees,  whilst a claim under the  Warranties  is
outstanding  or prior to the  expiration  of any time  limit for the making of a
claim unless:

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

               4.5.3.1 an  undertaking  in favour of the  Purchaser  is obtained
from a beneficiary, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser,  whereby
the  beneficiary   accepts   liability  to  the  extent  of  the  value  of  the
distribution; and

               4.5.3.2  the  distribution   would  not  be  prejudicial  to  the
Purchaser's rights and ability to recover the amount of any claim.

          4.5.4 the Warrantors will be under no liability to make any payment in
respect of any claim  unless the amount of the claim  exceeds  US$5,000  and the
amount of their  liability  in respect of such  claim is (when  aggregated  with
their liability in respect of any other claim or claims made by the Purchaser or
which  would  have been made but for the  provisions  of this  clause  4.5.2) in
excess of US $20,000,  in which event the Warrantors  will (subject to the other
provisions of this clause 4.5) be liable for the whole amount of such  liability
and not merely for the excess;

          4.5.5    the Warrantors will be under no liability to make any payment
in respect of any claim unless :-

               4.5.5.1  written  particulars of the claim (giving details of the
specific  matter  in  respect  of which  such  claim is made)  are  given to the
Warrantors; and

               4.5.5.2 such particulars are given within a period of seven years
from the date of this  Agreement  or (in the case only of any claim not relating
to  Taxation  (as  defined  in  Schedule  5)) 18  months  from  the date of this
Agreement; and

          4.5.6  The Warrantors will have no liability in respect of any claim:-

               4.5.6.1 to the  extent  that it relates to any loss for which the
Purchaser or the Company is indemnified by insurance; or

               4.5.6.2   to  the  extent  that it relates to any matter provided
for, or included as a liability or disclosed, in  the  Accounts  (as  defined in
Schedule 4) of the Company

     4.6 Notwithstanding  any other provision of this Agreement,  the provisions
of clause 4.5 or clause 4.8 shall not apply to exclude or limit the liability of
the  Warrantors  to the  extent  that any claim  arises by reason of any  fraud,
dishonesty, or wilful misstatement or omission by or on behalf of the Warrantors
or any of them

     4.7 The Purchaser shall take such reasonable steps and give such reasonable
assistance  to avoid or mitigate  any losses  which in the absence of such steps
might give rise to a  liability  in respect  of any claim  under this  Agreement
other than any claim under the Tax Covenant.

                                      -7-

     4.8 The  Purchaser  acknowledges  to the Vendors that it has  purchased the
shares  on the  basis  of the  Warranties  and  not on the  basis  of any  other
representation whether oral or in writing by the Vendors or Warrantors

     4.9 The Trustees  hereby covenant with the Purchaser that if they or any of
them retire or are  discharged  from any of the Trusts subject to which they now
hold the  Shares,  they will  procure  that their  successors  as trustee of the
Trusts enter into a deed of novation with the Purchaser by which the new trustee
accepts the  liability of the  retiring  Trustee on the same terms as set out in
this clause 11 and  thereupon  the retiring  Trustee  shall be  discharged  from
liability under the Warranties

     4.10 Any  payment  made to the  Purchaser  under  the  Warranties  shall be
treated as a reduction of the Consideration.

5.   TAX COVENANT
