SALES AGREEMENT
                                     BETWEEN
                       FIRST CAPITAL INTERNATIONAL, INC.,
                                       AND
                           LITERARY FINANCING LIMITED

This Sales Agreement, hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement", is made by and
between  FIRST  CAPITAL  INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Corporation duly chartered under
the  laws  of  the  State of Delaware, hereinafter referred to as the "FCI", and
LITERARY  FINANCING LIMITED, a Hong Kong Corporation, hereinafter referred to as
the  "LFL".  This  Agreement  is entered into by FCI and LFL with respect to the
acquisition  of all of the outstanding shares of the EIP Liisingu AS of Estonia,
hereinafter  referred to as "EIP", by LFL. FCI and LFL are collectively referred
to  in  this  Agreement  as  the  "Parties".

     A.     FCI  is a  Public  Company and is desirous to sell all of its shares
            in its affiliated company-EIP Liisingu  AS of Estonia to LFL for the
            total sum of Ten Thousand  dollars  ($10,000.00USD).

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  the  Parties  agree  as  follows:

     SECTION 1.  ACQUISITION.   LFL agrees to acquire all of the shares of stock
     Held by  FCI in EIP in exchange for Ten Thousand  dollars  ($10,000.00USD),
     Hereinafter referred  to  as  the  "Acquisition".

     The  remaining  principal  terms  of  the  Acquisition  are  as  follows:

     Both  Parties do expressly agree that the reasoning behind this Acquisition
is that FCI is desirous to sell EIP due to that fact that EIP is currently not a
profitable  operation for FCI and FCI is unable to expend the necessary time and
expenses  needed  to  properly  maintain  EIP  as  a  viable  concern  for  FCI.
Therefore,  LFL has agreed to purchase EIP and all of its assets and liabilities
for  the total sales price of Ten Thousand dollars ($10,000.00USD) however LF is
acting  as  a  shareholder  only  and  will  not  hold  title  to  any assets or
liabilities  of EIP and is under no obligation with respect to EIP's operations,
liabilities,  commitments  and  contingencies.

                        SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
                        ------------------------

     THIS SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), dated as of July 31,
2000, is by and between HOST AMERICA CORPORATION, a Colorado corporation
("Host" or "Buyer"), LINDLEY FOOD SERVICE CORPORATION, a Connecticut
corporation ("Lindley" or the "Company"), and GILBERT J. ROSSOMANDO and
MARK J. CERRETA, the Shareholders of Lindley (each a "Seller" and
collectively the "Shareholders" or "Sellers").

                                RECITALS:

     WHEREAS, the Shareholders are the record and beneficial holders of one
hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Lindley's
outstanding capital stock;

     WHEREAS, the Company owns and operates food service operations in
Connecticut and elsewhere;

     WHEREAS, Sellers desire to sell, and Buyer desires to purchase all of
the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Lindley (the
"Shares"), for the consideration and on the terms set forth in this
Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, Host, the Shareholders, and Lindley desire to formally set
forth the terms and conditions of the purchase contemplated herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

     1.   CONVEYANCE, PURCHASE, AND SALE OF STOCK.  Subject to the terms
and conditions provided in this Agreement, the Shareholders agree to
transfer to Host all right, title, and interest in and to the Shares at the
Closing (as defined herein).

     2.   PURCHASE PRICE CONSIDERATION.  The purchase price ("Purchase
Price") for the Shares is $4,700,000, and a ten percent (10%) Earnout (as
described herein) to be allocated among the Sellers as specified in the
Schedule of Selling Shareholders.

          2.1. The Purchase Price shall be payable as follows:

               a.   $3,700,000 cash payment (the "Cash Purchase Price") at
Closing;

               b.   One hundred ninety eight thousand, one hundred twenty
two (198,122) shares of Host's "restricted" Common Stock ("Host Common
Stock") which have been valued for the purposes of this transaction at
$1,000,000, based on the average market closing price as quoted on the
NASDQ Small Cap Market(TM) for the five (5) consecutive business days
during the period from July 24,

                                    1
<PAGE>
2000 through July 31, 2000. The shares are subject to transfer and sale
restrictions commencing on the Closing Date and extending until July 18,
2003 ("Lock-Up Period").  The shares will be subject to a Registration
Rights Agreement attached as Exhibit B.  At the Closing, Host will arrange
for American Securities Transfer and Trust , Inc., the transfer agent of
the Host Common Stock to deliver to Sellers one or more certificates (as
requested by Sellers) representing the Host Common Stock against delivery
by the Sellers of the original stock certificates and executed stock
transfer powers with respect to the Shares.  All shares of Host Common
Stock delivered to the Sellers will bear a restricted legend prohibiting
sale, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, or assignment for the Lock-Up Period;

               c.   Buyer shall pay to Sellers collectively an amount (the
"Earnout") equal to a ten percent (10%) earnings interest ("Earnout
Percentage Points") in the on-going operations of the Company.  The
Earnout payable in any one year is equal to the product of the Earnout
Percentage Points multiplied by the product of 2.25 times Earnout EBITA,
which calculation is subject to and limited by the provisions of Section
2.2 (each an "Earnout Payment").

          2.2  EARNOUT

               a.   EARNOUT EBITA.  "Earnout EBITA" is defined as the
earnings before interest income and expense, income taxes, and goodwill
amortization calculated in accordance with GAAP of the Lindley operations
over a two (2) year period, ending June 30 of the particular exercised
year. Earnout EBITA will not include deductions for general corporate
overhead allocations from Host or any of its affiliated companies including
without limitation,(i) any additional depreciation, amortization or other
expense resulting from the write-up of any asset any amortization of
goodwill or other intangibles relating to the acquisition of the Company by
Host; (ii) any expenses directly or indirectly incurred in connection with
the financing of the acquisition of the of the Company by Host  or any
refinancing of the  indebtedness of the Company; (iii) any gain, loss,
income or expense resulting from a change in the Company's accounting
methods, principles or practices or a change in GAAP or any GAAP election
or treatment not made or utilized by the Company in its Unaudited Financial
Statements for its fiscal year 2000; (iv) any employee termination or other
costs arising out of a consolidation of services or facilities subsequent
to the acquisition by Host of the Company; (v) any employment related costs
associated with personnel required by Host to be employed by the Company
that the Company would not otherwise have employed; (vi) any expenses
directly or indirectly incurred in connection with the acquisition of the
Company by Host; and (vii) any reserves or adjustments to reserves which
are not consistent with past practices of the Company, but will include
Specific Services actually rendered by Host or its affiliates to Lindley.
The term "Specific Services" shall mean and refer to services provided by
Host to the Company which services and charges for such services have been
agreed to by Sellers and Host.

                                    2
<PAGE>
               b.   DELIVERY OF EBITA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.    On or before
August 31, 2002 and each August 31 thereafter through and including August
31, 2007, Host shall have prepared and delivered to Seller the  income
statements for such year for the Company (the "EBITA Financial Statements")
which statements shall have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied
consistent with the Company's past practices, along with a statement
setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of EBITA for the
applicable two (2) year period, including identification of all excluded
items and adjustments and all necessary back up calculations. Host shall
provide to the Sellers  information which the Sellers shall reasonably
request in connection with the preparation of the EBITA Financial
Statements.  Host's calculation of Earnout EBITA shall be used in
determining the amounts to be paid under Section 2.1 (c) unless Sellers
have given Host notice (the "EBITA Dispute Notice") that the Sellers
dispute Host's calculation of Earnout EBITA.  The EBITA Dispute Notice
shall be given by Sellers within thirty (30) days after the  EBITA
Financial Statements have  been given to Sellers and shall set forth in
reasonable detail the exclusions or calculations being disputed in good
faith.  In the event an EBITA Dispute Notice is timely given to Host, Host
and the Sellers shall have fifteen (15) days to resolve the dispute and if
not resolved, the dispute shall be submitted to a mutually acceptable
independent certified public accountant firm (the "CPA's") (other than
auditors used by Host or the Company within the past three (3) years, or
their successors) which shall be instructed to arbitrate such disputed
item(s) and determined Earnout EBITA within thirty (30) days.  The
resolution of disputes by the CPA's shall be set forth in writing (the
"CPA's Findings").  The CPA's Findings shall be conclusive  and binding
upon and non-appealable by the parties. The determination of Earnout EBITA
in the CPA's Findings shall be  final as of the date of the CPA's Findings,
and may be entered as a final judgment in any court of competent
jurisdiction.  The costs of the CPA's shall be borne by the losing party.

               c.   PAYMENT OF AMOUNTS NOT IN DISPUTE.  Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if an EBITA Dispute Notice has
been delivered in accordance with 2.2 b. of this Agreement, and the dispute
has not been resolved by the Payment due Date (as defined below), then Host
shall (i) to the extent subject to calculation,  pay the amount of the
EBITA Earnout not in dispute in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, and  (ii) pay, if required to do so by the CPA's, any disputed
amount of the EBITA Earnout on or before ten (10) days after the date of
the CPA's Findings.

               d.   PAYMENT OF INTEREST ON DISPUTED AMOUNTS.  Interest at
the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum shall be paid by Host on all
disputed amounts required by the CPA's to be paid to the Sellers, which
interest shall be calculated from the Payment due Date  to the date of payment.

               e.   TIME AND MANNER OF PAYMENT.  All Earnout Payments will
be made within ninety (90) days after the particular June 30 period (the
"Payment due Date").  However, if either Seller is not employed by Host
(excluding because of death, disability, or termination by Host) or its
subsidiaries fifteen (15) months after Closing, then both Sellers will not
be entitled to any Earnout Payments.  All Earnout Payments shall be made in
cash to each

                                    3
<PAGE>
Seller in accordance with their respective percentage interests in the Company
as of the date of Closing by delivery of a certified check to such Seller.

               f.   ELECTION.  Seller shall elect to receive their Earnout
Payment by providing written notice to Host within ten (10) days after
Sellers receipt of the EBITA Financial Statements as provided in Section
2.2 b. above.  Sellers may collectively elect to exercise up to, but not
more than five percent (5%) of their Earnout Percentage Points starting
June 30, 2002, and, thereafter, have the option to continue to exercise
their remaining Earnout Percentage Points on each June 30 anniversary
through June 30, 2007.  In any given year through June 30, 2007, Sellers
may not collectively exercise in excess of five percent (5%) of their
Earnout Percentage Points.  On June 30, 2007, Buyer shall pay to Seller's
collectively a final Earnout Payment based on any remaining unexercised
Earnout Percentage Points.  See ExhibitD for an example of an Earnout
Payment calculation.

          2.3  ADJUSTMENT TO PURCHASE.   The cash purchase price will be
increased by $1.00 for every $1.00 that the Net Equity, defined herein, on
the unaudited Closing Date Balance Sheet is more than $800,000 or decreased
by $1.00 for every $1.00 that the Net Equity on the Closing Date Balance
Sheet (defined herein) is less than $800,000.  "Net Equity" shall mean
total assets less liabilities on the Closing Date Balance Sheet and shall
be calculated in the same manner as the Balance Sheet of the Company for
the year ending March 31, 2000.  (See Exhibit E for adjustment to
Stockholder's Equity as shown on the March 31, 2000 Balance Sheet)  The
Sellers shall provide Buyer with an unaudited balance sheet as of July 31,
2000, no later than August 31, 2000 ("Closing Date Balance Sheet").  The
Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP
applied on a consistent basis with the Unaudited Financial Statements.  The
Closing Date Balance Sheet will include an appropriate liability for
accrued vacation and a  general reserve for accounts receivable as of the
date of the Closing Balance Sheet, in an aggregate amount of $13,200 (the
"Accounts Receivable Reserve").  Lindley shall pay to Sellers an amount
equal to (i) the Accounts Receivable Reserve less (ii) the accounts
receivable as shown on the Closing Date Balance Sheet MINUS the amount of
accounts receivable collected by Lindley during the five (5) months after
the Closing Date. Said payment, if any, shall be made on or before the
earlier of (i) 160 days after the Closing Date or (ii) the date when all
accounts receivable as shown on the Closing Date Balance Sheet are
collected by Lindley.  The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be subject to
review by an accounting firm selected by Buyer, at Buyer's' cost.  Unless
Buyers give Sellers written objection by the thirtieth (30th) day after
Buyer's' receipt of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, then such statement
will become final and binding on the parties.  If Host objects to the
calculations of Net Equity or the Closing Date Balance Sheet and Host and
Sellers are able to resolve their dispute within fifteen (15) days after
Host's objection, then the agreed upon calculations of Net Equity and the
Closing Date Balance Sheet will become final and binding on the parties.
If Host objects to the calculations of Net Equity or the Closing Date
Balance Sheet and Host and Sellers are unable to resolve their dispute
within twenty-one (21) days after Host's objections, the dispute will be
resolved by a mutually acceptable independent certified public accounting
firm ("Independent Accountants").  The expenses of the Independent
Accountants shall be borne equally between the parties, such that Sellers,
in the aggregate, bear fifty percent (50%), and Host bears fifty percent
(50%) of such cost.  The Independent

                                    4
<PAGE>
Accountants will be instructed to perform their services as expeditiously
as possible.  If Host fails to properly object within the time period
described above, the resolution of the parties or the resolution of the
Independent Accountants, as the case may be, will be the final calculations
of Net Equity and Closing Date Balance Sheet and shall be final and binding
on the parties.  All payments to be made by one party to the other, if any
under this Section 2.3 shall be made on the first banking date following
five (5) days after such calculations become final and binding.  Such
payment shall be made by wire transfer of funds to accounts designated in
writing by the party entitled to such payment.

     3.   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF LINDLEY AND THE SHAREHOLDERS.

Shareholders hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to Host as

April and May, 2000 ("Interim Financial Statements") were prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"),
consistently applied during the periods involved, are in accordance with the
books and records of Lindley, and present fairly the financial position of
Lindley, as of such dates and  for such periods.  Since March 31, 2000 there

condition and the revenues, expenses, and results of operations of Lindley.
No information, records, systems, controls, or other data required for the

case of software programs, under license using legally obtained and
commercially available software; and, on the Closing Date, Lindley will
have originals of all such records, systems, controls, or data in its

software and documentation pertaining thereto.

          j.   TAX RETURNS AND REPORTS; AUDITS. Other than the Corporate

CT 1120 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2000, Lindley has filed all
federal, state, local, and other tax returns and reports which are required

assessments, and deficiencies which have been assessed or levied against
Lindley or which are otherwise payable by Lindley under applicable law.
Unless reflected on the Closing Date Balance Sheet as of the Closing, any
additional taxes, interest, penalties, assessments, and deficiencies that
shall become due and payable with respect to any tax return or tax
obligation of Lindley arising from the operation of Lindley's business or
ownership of the Company's assets prior to the Closing Date shall be the
responsibility of the Shareholders. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the obligation of the Shareholders under the
preceding sentence shall be deemed a covenant, rather than a representation
or warranty.  Without limiting the foregoing, Lindley and/or  the
Shareholders have paid, when due, all federal, state, and local income
taxes, all state and local real property and personal property, sales, and
use taxes, and all federal, state, and local withholding taxes (for amounts

have properly and timely filed all other reports and returns required by
any governmental agency or department.  No deficiency assessment with
respect to, or proposed adjustment of, Lindley's federal, state, county, or
local taxes is pending, or to the best of the knowledge of Lindley and the
Shareholders is threatened.  There is no filed tax lien, whether imposed by
federal, state, county, or local taxing authority outstanding against any
of Lindley's assets or the Shares.

                                   20

     9.   TAX MATTERS.  The following provisions shall govern the
allocation of responsibility as between Buyer and Sellers for certain tax
matters following the Closing Date:

          a.   TAX PERIODS ENDING BEFORE THE CLOSING DATE.  Buyer shall
cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any tax Returns of the
Company for tax periods which end on or before the Closing Date and that
are due after the Closing Date.  The preparing party shall permit the other
party to review and comment upon each such tax return described in the
preceding sentence prior to filing.  Sellers shall pay to Buyer within
fifteen (15) days after the date on which such taxes are paid any taxes of
the Company reflected on such tax returns to the extent such taxes are not
reflected in the tax liability shown on the Closing Date Balance Sheet.

          b.   TAX PERIODS BEGINNING BEFORE AND ENDING AFTER THE CLOSING
DATE.  Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be
filed any tax returns of the Company for tax periods which begin before the
Closing Date and end after the Closing Date.  Buyer shall permit the
Sellers to review and comment upon each such tax return described in the
preceding sentence prior to filing.  Sellers shall pay to Buyer within
fifteen (15) days after the date on which taxes are paid with respect to
such periods an amount equal to the portion of such taxes which relates to
the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date to the extent
such taxes are not reflected in the tax liability shown on the unaudited
Closing Date Balance Sheet.  For purposes of this Section, in the case of
any taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a
taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the
portion of such tax which relates to the portion of such taxable period
ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any taxes other than
taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the
amount of such tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction
the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending
on the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in
the entire taxable period; and (ii) in the case of any tax based upon or
related to income or receipts, be deemed equal to the amount which would be
payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date.

          c.   COOPERATION ON TAX MATTERS.

i.   Buyer, the Company, and Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the
extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the
filing of tax returns pursuant to this Section and any audit, litigation,
or other proceeding with respect to taxes.  Such cooperation shall include
the retention and (upon the other party's request) the provision of records
and information which are reasonably necessary to any such audit,
litigation, or other proceeding and making employees available on a
mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation
of any material provided hereunder.  Buyer shall cause the Company to
agree, and Sellers agree:  (A) to retain all books and records with respect
to tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period
beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration

                                   21
<PAGE>
of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Buyer or
Sellers, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to
abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing
authority; and (B) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior
to transferring, destroying, or discarding any such books and records and,
if the other party so requests, the Company or Sellers, as the case may be,
shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

               ii.  Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon request, to use
reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any
governmental body or any other person as may be necessary to mitigate,
reduce, or eliminate any tax that could be imposed (including, but not
limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

               iii. Sellers, collectively, shall be paid an amount equal to
any  tax refunds of Lindley, if any, received by the Company relating to
tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date and shall be entitled to
an amount equal to any pro rata tax refunds, if any, received by the
Company relating to tax periods beginning before the Closing Date and
ending after the Closing Date.

     10.  DEFAULT.

          a.   REMEDIES.  If any obligation under this Agreement is not
performed as provided under the terms of this Agreement, the parties shall
have the remedies set forth below, in addition to any other remedies
available at law or in equity or specifically provided for under any other
provision of this Agreement.

          b.   HOST'S DEFAULT.  In the event that  either (i) all of the
conditions precedent to the obligation of Host set forth in Section 5 are
satisfied and Host fails to consummate the Closing or (ii) Host defaults in
the performance of any material obligation to be performed by Host
hereunder, Lindley and the Shareholders may elect to treat this Agreement:

               i.   as terminated and Lindley and the Shareholders may
recover such damages as may be proper;

               ii.  or Lindley and the Shareholders may elect to treat this
Agreement as being in full force and effect and Lindley and the
Shareholders shall have a right to an action for specific performance or
damages, or both.

          c.   LINDLEY'S AND THE SHAREHOLDER'S DEFAULT.  In the event that
either (i) all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of Lindley
and the Shareholders set forth in Section 6 are satisfied and Lindley and
the Shareholders fail to consummate the Closing or (ii) Lindley and/or the
Shareholders default in the performance of any material obligation to be

                                   22
<PAGE>
performed by Lindley and/or the Shareholders hereunder, Host may elect to
treat this Agreement:

               i.   as terminated and Host may recover such damages as may
be proper;

               ii.  or Host may elect to treat this Agreement as being in
full force and effect and Host shall have a right to an action for specific
performance or damages, or both.

     11.  INDEMNIFICATION.

          a.   INDEMNIFICATION BY SELLERS.  Sellers covenant and agree to
pay and perform and indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from, against, and in
respect of any and all losses, costs, expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements of counsel),
liabilities, including, without limitation, any and all debts, liabilities,
and/or obligations of any type, nature, or description (whether known or
unknown, asserted or unasserted, secured or unsecured, absolute, or
contingent, accrued or unaccrued, liquidated or unliquidated, and whether
due or to become due), damages, fines, penalties, charges, assessments,
judgments, settlements, claims, causes of action, and other obligations of
any nature whatsoever, taking into account any tax benefit received
(collectively, "Losses") that any of them may at any time suffer, sustain,
incur, or become subject to, resulting from or relating to the following:

               i.   The breach or falsity of any  representation or
warranty made by either Lindley or the Shareholders in this Agreement,
including the documents, instruments, and agreements to be executed and/or
delivered by Lindley and the Shareholders pursuant hereto and thereto; or

               ii.  The breach of any covenant or agreement made by either
Lindley or the Shareholders in this Agreement, including the documents,
instruments, and agreements to be executed and/or delivered by Lindley and
the Shareholders pursuant hereto or thereto.

          b.   INDEMNIFICATION BY BUYER.  Buyer covenants and agrees to pay
and perform and indemnify and hold Sellers harmless from, against, and in
respect of any and all Losses that they may at any time suffer, sustain,
incur, or become subject to, resulting from or relating to the following:

               i.   The breach or falsity of any  representation or
warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement, including the documents,
instruments, and agreements to be executed and/or delivered by Buyer
pursuant hereto and thereto; or

               ii.  The breach of any covenant or agreement made by Buyer
in this Agreement, including the documents, instruments, and agreements to
be executed and/or delivered by Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto.

                                   23
<PAGE>
          c.   CERTAIN LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Indemnifying Party (as defined below) shall have no
obligation to indemnify any party for any Losses resulting from or related
to any breach or falsity of any representation or warranty made by the
Indemnifying Party hereunder until the Indemnified Party shall have
suffered Losses by reason of all such indemnifiable matters in excess of
$10,000 in the aggregate, and then the Indemnified Party shall be
indemnified for the full Losses incurred.  Liability of Seller for
indemnification under this Section 11 is limited to the extent that (i)
Sellers will have no liability for indemnification under this section 13,
except for fraud or claims known and undisclosed to Buyer by Sellers at the
Closing Date, for claims with respect to Sections 3a., b., f., g., h., q.,
r., s., t., bb., cc., dd., hh. unless on or before December 31, 2001, Buyer
notifies Sellers of a claim to the extent then known by Buyer; or (ii)
Sellers will have no liability for indemnification under this Section 13,
except for fraud, for claims with respect to Sections 3j., k, p, u, v., w.,
y., aa., jj., after the applicable statutes of limitations have expired.

          d.   PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION.

               (i)  In the event a party intends to seek indemnification
pursuant to the provisions of Sections 11.a. or 11.b. hereof (the
"Indemnified Party"), the Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice
hereunder to the other party (the "Indemnifying Party") after obtaining
notice of any claim or the service of a summons or other initial legal
process in any action instituted against the Indemnified Party as to which
recovery may be sought against the Indemnifying Party because of the
indemnification provided for in Section 11.a. or 11.b. hereof (but the
failure of the Indemnified Party to give prompt notice shall not relieve
the Indemnifying Party of liability except to the extent of actual
prejudice to the Indemnifying Party resulting therefrom).  If, such
indemnity shall arise from the claim of a third party, the Indemnified
Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, of any such claim
and any litigation resulting from such claim at the sole expense of the
Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not
be required to permit such an assumption of the defense of any claim or
litigation which may reasonably be expected to result in immediate non-
monetary damages or relief.  Failure by the Indemnifying Party to notify
the Indemnified Party of its election to defend any such claim or action by
a third party within twelve (12) days after notice thereof shall have been
given to the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed a waiver by the
Indemnifying Party of its right to defend such claim or action.

               (ii)  If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such
claim or litigation resulting therefrom, the obligations of the
Indemnifying Party hereunder as to such claim or litigation shall include
taking all steps necessary in the defense or settlement of such claim or
litigation and holding the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any
and all damages caused by or arising out of any settlement approved by the
Indemnifying Party or any judgment entered in connection with such claim or
litigation.  The Indemnifying Party shall not, in the defense of such claim
or any litigation resulting therefrom, consent to entry of any judgment
(other than a judgment of dismissal on the merits without costs) except
with the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld,

                                   24
<PAGE>
delayed, or conditioned) or enter into any settlement (except with the
written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned) unless (i) there is no
finding or admission of any violation of law and no material adverse effect
on any other claims that could reasonably be expected to be made against
the Indemnified Party; (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages
that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (iii) the settlement
shall include the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the
Indemnified Party a release from all Liability in respect to such claim or
litigation.

               (iii)  If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such
claim or litigation resulting therefrom, the Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to participate in the defense of the claim, but the Indemnified
Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained
by it to conduct its defense unless any of the following shall apply:  (i)
the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the
Indemnifying Party; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party's legal counsel shall
advise the Indemnifying Party, in writing, with a copy to the Indemnified
Party, that there is a conflict of interest that would make it
inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct to have
common counsel.  If clause (i) or (ii) in the immediately preceding
sentence if applicable, then the Indemnified Party may employ separate
counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party to represent the
Indemnified Party, but in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be
obligated to pay the costs and expenses of more than one such separate
counsel for any one complaint, claim, action, or proceeding in any one
jurisdiction.

               (iv)  If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense
of any such claim by a third party or litigation resulting therefrom after
receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party may
defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it reasonably
deems appropriate, and unless the Indemnifying Party shall deposit with the
Indemnified Party a sum equivalent to the total amount demanded in such
claim or litigation plus the Indemnified Party's estimate of the cost
(including attorneys' fees) of defending the same, the Indemnified Party
may settle such claim or litigation on such terms as it may reasonably deem
appropriate and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the
Indemnified Party for the amount of such settlement and for all costs
(including attorneys' fees), expenses, and damages incurred by the
Indemnified Party in connection with the defense against or settlement of
such claim or litigation, or if any such claim or litigation is not so
settled, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified
Party for the amount of any judgment rendered with respect to any claim by
a third party in such litigation and for all costs (including attorneys'
fees), expenses, and damages incurred by the Indemnified Party in
connection with the defense against such claim or litigation, whether or
not resulting from, arising out of, or incurred with respect to, the act of
a third party.

     12.  EXCLUSIVE DEALINGS. Except for any filings or other disclosures
required by applicable securities laws, rules and regulations, Host,
Lindley, and the Shareholders agree that neither they nor any of their
consultants, advisors, or brokers will discuss the Letter of Intent, this
Agreement, the Loan Documents, or the sale of Lindley Common Stock with any
other person or entity prior to the Closing Date.  Host, Lindley, or the
Shareholders may make

                                   25
<PAGE>
a public announcement with regard to the purchase and sale of Lindley
Common Stock after Closing, provided that the other party shall be
furnished in writing the proposed announcement and afforded a reasonable
opportunity to comment on the same.

     13.  FINDERS, CONSULTANTS, AND BROKERS.  The parties hereto hereby
represent and warrant to each other that except for Elite Investment Group
LLC, who was engaged by Host and whose commission and/or other compensation
will be paid by Host and Dictor Capital, who was engaged by Lindley and
whose commission and/or other compensation shall be paid by Lindley, there
has been no finder, broker, or consultant involved in negotiations leading
up to the execution of this Agreement and no finder's, broker's, or
consultant's fees or commissions are payable in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby.

     14.  SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND WARRANTIES.  All
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive
the Closing Date, provided that no claim based on an alleged breach of or
representation or warranty shall be made after the expiration of two (2)
years from the Closing Date.  All covenants contained in this Agreement
shall, unless otherwise limited, survive the Closing Date.

     15.  NOTICES.  Any notice or other communication any party desires or
is required to give to the other parties under the terms of this Agreement
shall be deemed to have been given or delivered, when delivered in person
or by facsimile transmission to the party being notified or to an executive
officer of a corporate party being notified or shall be deemed to have been
given or delivered on the date the same is deposited in the United States
mail, registered or certified, with proper postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, or delivered to an overnight courier service addressed to the
party for whom intended at its address given below or to such other address
as a party may designate to the others by written notice given in

     16.  ARBITRATION.  Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or the existence, validity, breach or termination
thereof, whether during or after its term, will be finally settled by
compulsory arbitration.  However, in the event of any such controversy or
claim, (i) neither party will initiate arbitration within the first thirty
(30) days after the aggrieved party first notifies the other party of the
controversy or claim, and (ii) during such thirty (30) day period,
representatives of both parties meet at least once in Hamden, Connecticut,
to endeavor in good faith to amicably resolve the controversy or claim.  To
initiate arbitration, either party will submit to the opposing party a
written demand for arbitration together with a statement of claim.  The
opposing party shall submit a response within thirty (30) days, and the
parties agree to appoint the sole arbitrator within thirty (30) days
thereafter.  The arbitrator shall be an arbitrator available under the
auspices of the American Arbitration Association, who is experienced in
matters involving the food services industry.  The procedures to govern the
arbitration will be determined by the arbitrator based on written proposals
from the parties, and the arbitration will commence not later than 120 days
after submission of the original demand.  Unless otherwise agreed by the
parties, the arbitration proceeding will take place during a period not
exceeding sixty (60) days in Hamden, Connecticut.  The parties expressly
agree that each shall have the right to seek injunctive relief in any court
of competent jurisdiction.  The arbitral award will be the exclusive remedy
of the parties for all claims, counterclaims, issues or accountings
presented or plead to the arbitrator.  Judgment upon the arbitral award may
be entered in any court that has jurisdiction thereof.  Any additional
costs, fees or expenses incurred in enforcing the arbitral award will be
charged against the party that resists its enforcement.
