RENT-A-WRECK businesses anywhere outside the Primary Service Area regardless of
proximity to the boundaries of the Primary Service Area.

     FRANCHISEE may not regularly deliver vehicles to, transport customers to or
pick-up customers at locations within the primary service area of another
RENT-A-WRECK business during the term of this Agreement. FRANCHISEE acknowledges

constitute COMPANY'S agreement to accept such payments after same are due or a
commitment by COMPANY to extend credit to the BUSINESS and that FRANCHISEE's
failure to pay all amounts when due shall constitute grounds for termination of
the Agreement.

shall be referred first to FRANCHISEE for resolution. COMPANY has the right to
intervene in disputes that cannot be resolved by FRANCHISEE, and to resolve such
disputes on terms it deems fair and reasonable in its sole discretion. Such
resolutions may result in payments to customers, for which FRANCHISEE shall be
solely responsible. COMPANY has the right to make such payments to customers on
FRANCHISEE's behalf, in which cases, FRANCHISEE shall pay said amounts to
COMPANY on demand.

7.   ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION.

     A.   BY COMPANY.

and public image of RENT-A-WRECK businesses of COMPANY, COMPANY agrees to
maintain and administer an advertising fund (the "National Fund") for the
preparation of advertising materials and such advertising programs as COMPANY
may deem necessary or appropriate. FRANCHISEE shall contribute to the National

Rental Vehicles in the Fleet on the last day of the preceding calendar month. In
order to verify the number of Rental Vehicles in the Fleet each month,
FRANCHISEE will submit to COMPANY (along with the advertising contribution) a
copy of FRANCHISEE's monthly insurance statements for the preceding month
showing the number of Rental Vehicles. Additionally, FRANCHISEE agrees to
contribute, as specified from time to time by COMPANY, to a regional advertising
fund (the "Regional Fund"); provided, however, that such contribution may not
exceed FRANCHISEE's payment to the National Fund. If FRANCHISEE's advertising
contributions are not current, then FRANCHISEE may be excluded from
participating in any program paid for by the National Fund.

                                       7
<PAGE>
     FRANCHISEE agrees that the National and Regional Funds (the "Funds") may be
used to meet any and all costs of maintaining , administering, directing and
preparing national, regional or local advertising, sales promotion and public
relations activities, including, without limitation, the costs of preparing and
conducting television, radio, magazine, billboard, newspaper and other media
programs and activities, and employing advertising agencies. COMPANY may spend
in any fiscal year an amount greater or less than the aggregate contributions of
RENT-A-WRECK businesses to the Funds in that year and COMPANY may make loans to
the Funds bearing reasonable interest to cover any deficits of the Funds and
cause the Funds to invest any surplus for future use by the Funds. FRANCHISEE
shall have no right, claim or interest of any kind in or to any of the
contributions paid by the FRANCHISEE, or any other entity, or to any allocation
of or use of the National Fund or Regional Fund, The Funds shall be accounted
for separately from the other funds of COMPANY and shall not be used to defray
any of COMPANY's general operating expenses not associated with or attributable
to the activities of the Funds. A report of the operations of the Funs shall be
prepared annually by COMPANY and shall be made available to FRANCHISEE upon
request.

     Franchisee's contribution to either or both the Funds may be increased if:
(i)the majority of the duly elected or appointed members of COMPANY's Franchisee
Advisory Council (the "Advisory Council" recommends an increase; and
(ii)COMPANY, in its sole discretion, approves the Advisory Council's
recommendation; provided, however, that such increase shall only occur once
during any Agreement Year; and, provided further that the amount of such
increase will not exceed ten percent (10%) of the contribution charged as of the
date of such increase. If COMPANY's Franchise Advisory Council has been
disbanded or terminated, COMPANY may in its sole discretion increase
Franchisee's contributions to the Funds, subject to the above restrictions,
provided that COMPANY increases the contributions of all other franchisees in
cases where COMPANY has the contractual right to do so. FRANCHISEE understands
and acknowledges that the Funds are intended to maximize general public
recognition and patronage of the Marks and the entire system for the benefit of
all RENT-A-WRECK businesses and that COMPANY undertakes no obligation in
administering the Funds to ensure that expenditures which are proportionate or
equivalent to FRANCHISEE's contributions are made for the market area of the
BUSINESS or that any RENT-A-WRECK businesses benefit directly or pro-rata from
the placement of advertising. Except as expressly provided in this Section,
COMPANY assumes no direct or indirect liability or obligation to FRANCHISEE with
respect to the maintenance, direction or administration of the Funds. FRANCHISEE
acknowledges and agrees that COMPANY has no fiduciary obligation to FRANCHISEE
or any other RENT-A-WRECK business in connection with the collection, control or
administration of monies paid to the Fund.

     B.   BY FRANCHISEE.

     FRANCHISEE agrees to list and advertise the BUSINESS in conformance with
the requirements specified in COMPANY's Operating Manual. FRANCHISEE shall not
advertise in any telephone directory or other medium that is circulated wholly
outside the Primary Service Area. If FRANCHISEE advertises in a telephone
directory in which advertisements by another or other Rent-A-Wreck franchisee(s)
appear, all franchisees who advertise in that directory shall share a single
display advertisement. If the franchisees cannot agree on the size or content or
cost-sharing of the joint advertisement, COMPANY shall, in its sole discretion,

COMPANY will disclose the Know-How to FRANCHISEE in the training program, the
Operating Manual and in guidance furnished to FRANCHISEE during the term of the
Franchise. FRANCHISEE acknowledges that the Know-How is proprietary and a trade
secret of COMPANY and disclosed to FRANCHISEE solely for use by FRANCHISEE in
the operation of the BUSINESS during the term of the Franchise.

     FRANCHISEE acknowledges that it would not be possible for COMPANY to
protect its trade secrets against unauthorized use or disclosure if FRANCHISEE
holds an interest in a business similar to the BUSINESS. FRANCHISEE therefore
agrees that all employees of the BUSINESS shall execute COMPANY's then current
form of confidentiality and non-competition agreement and FRANCHISEE,
FRANCHISEE's general manager and FRANCHISEE's immediate family members and
owners will not during the term of the Franchise have any interest as an owner,
director, officer, employee, consultant, representative or agent, or in any
other capacity, in any Competitive Business. As used in this Agreement,
"Competitive Business" means any business or enterprise other than a
RENT-A-WRECK or PRICELE$$ business that rents or leases automobiles, vans or
trucks, or any other vehicles.

10.  RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES/INDEMNIFICATION.

     The parties agree that this Agreement does not create a fiduciary
relationship between them, that the parties are and shall be independent
contractors and that nothing in this Agreement is intended to make either party
a general or special agent, legal representative, subsidiary, joint-venturer,
partner, employee or servant of the other for any purpose. COMPANY shall not be
obligated for any damages to any person or property directly or indirectly
arising out of the operation of the BUSINESS whether caused by FRANCHISEE's
negligent or willful action or failure to act. COMPANY shall have no liability
for any sales, use, excise, gross receipts, income, property or other taxes,
whether levied upon FRANCHISEE, the BUSINESS or its assets, or upon COMPANY, in
connection with the business conducted by FRANCHISEE, or any fees, contributions
to other payments made by FRANCHISEE to COMPANY.

                                       10
<PAGE>
     FRANCHISEE shall indemnify, defend and hold COMPANY, its subsidiaries,
affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and
assignees harmless against any liability for any claims, actual and
consequential damages, taxes, attorneys' fees and costs incurred in defending
any claim against any of them, directly of indirectly arising out of the
operation of the BUSINESS. The indemnities and assumptions of liabilities and
obligations herein shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and
notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

11.  RECORDS AND REPORTS.

     A.   RECORDS.

     During the term of the Franchise, FRANCHISEE agrees, at his expense, to use
the rental agreement numbering system assigned to him by COMPANY and the then
current standard rental agreement specified by COMPANY, and to maintain at
FRANCHISEE's principal office and preserve for three (3) years from the date of
their preparation any and all rental agreements, records of Rental Vehicles and
such other documents, supporting records and forms designated by COMPANY.
COMPANY may require that specified information be compiled by FRANCHISEE in a
computerized database. FRANCHISEE shall provide COMPANY on or before the tenth
(10th) day of each month with copies of each rental agreement entered into
during the preceding calendar month. FRANCHISEE shall pay COMPANY a one hundred
dollar ($100.00) fee for each rental agreement which is missing or which
FRANCHISEE fails to provide to COMPANY as required herein.

     B.   REPORTS.

     FRANCHISEE shall furnish COMPANY on the tenth (10th) day of each month, in
the form prescribed by COMPANY from time to time, a report signed and verified
by FRANCHISEE (or, if a corporation or partnership, an officer or managing
partner of FRANCHISEE), if such statements are prepared by FRANCHISEE's internal
staff, or by a Certified Public Accountant, if such statements are prepared by a
Certified Public Accountant, accurately reflecting each Rental Vehicle in the
Fleet, the number of the rental agreements used, total Gross Revenues for the
preceding month, weekly and/or monthly summaries of daily activity reports and
such other data, information and supporting records as COMPANY from time to time
requires. FRANCHISEE shall also furnish COMPANY semi-annual reports, in such
form as specified by COMPANY, containing information including but not limited
to that supplied in FRANCHISEE's monthly reports during the preceding six (6)
months, and such other data, information and records as COMPANY may from time to
time require. COMPANY may require that FRANCHISEE submit reports via e-mail or
other computerized form and/or that COMPANY have access to FRANCHISEE's computer
system to obtain such reportable information.

     C.   STANDARD CHART OF ACCOUNTS.

     FRANCHISEE shall establish a bookkeeping and accounting system which
utilizes, without violation, COMPANY's then current standard chart of accounts.
All bookkeeping and accounting records maintained by FRANCHISEE, all financial
statements prepared by or for FRANCHISEE and all reports submitted by FRANCHISEE
to COMPANY shall conform to COMPANY's then current standard chart of accounts as
described in the Operating Manual. All such bookkeeping and accounting records
and all financial statements, for such periods as may from time to time be
prescribed in the Operating Manual, shall be maintained available for inspection
by COMPANY during normal business hours.

                                       11
<PAGE>
12.  COMPANY'S RIGHT TO INSPECT AND AUDIT THE BUSINESS.

     To determine whether FRANCHISEE is complying with this Agreement, COMPANY
shall have the right at any time during business hours, and without prior notice
to FRANCHISEE, to inspect the BUSINESS, the Rental Vehicles in the Fleet, all
records of the BUSINESS, whether hand-written, printed, computer-generated or
electronic; and, FRANCHISEE shall allow COMPANY full and complete access to all
computers and computer systems used in the BUSINESS. FRANCHISEE also agrees to
allow COMPANY access to the federal, state and local income tax returns of
FRANCHISEE and FRANCHISEE hereby waives any privilege pertaining thereto.
FRANCHISEE shall fully cooperate with representatives of COMPANY making any such
inspection and/or audit and shall permit representatives of COMPANY to take
photographs, movies or video-tapes of the BUSINESS and to interview the
employees of the BUSINESS. COMPANY shall bear the cost of all such inspection
and audits, provided that if any such inspection or audit discloses that
FRANCHISEE has failed to comply with any provision of this Agreement or the
Operating Manual in a manner that would permit COMPANY to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to Section 15 of this Agreement, in addition to al other
remedies and rights available to COMPANY, the cost of such inspection and/or
audit, including normal daily compensation, traveling expenses, room and board
(not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000.00), shall be borne by FRANCHISEE.
COMPANY's rights under this Section 12 shall apply only to the operation of the
BUSINESS.

13.  ASSIGNMENT.

     A.   BY COMPANY.

     This Agreement and the Franchise is fully assignable by COMPANY and shall
inure to the benefit of any assignee(s) or other legal successor(s) to the
interest of COMPANY herein.

     B.   FRANCHISEE MAY ASSIGN WITH THE APPROVAL OF COMPANY.

     FRANCHISEE understands and acknowledges that the right and duties created
by this Agreement are personal to FRANCHISEE or to its owner and that COMPANY
has granted the Franchise in reliance upon the individual or collective
character, skill, aptitude, attitude, business ability and financial capacity of
FRANCHISEE or its owner. Therefore, the Franchise, the BUSINESS (or any interest
therein) or any part or all of the ownership of FRANCHISEE may be assigned,
sold, subdivided or otherwise transferred by FRANCHISEE or its owner only upon
prior written approval of COMPANY, and any such assignment or transfer without
such approval shall constitute a breach hereof and convey no rights to or
interests in the Franchise of the BUSINESS.

     C.   CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL OF ASSIGNMENT.

     If FRANCHISEE and its owners are in full compliance with this Agreement,
COMPANY shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of an assignment, provided
that the proposed assignee(s) are, in the opinion of COMPANY, individuals of
good moral character who have sufficient business experience, aptitude and
financial resources to own and operate the BUSINESS and otherwise meet COMPANY's
then applicable standards for franchisees, and further provided that the

                                       12
<PAGE>
following conditions are met prior to, or concurrently with, the effective date
of the assignment:

          1. all obligations of FRANCHISEE and its owner incurred in connection
     with this Agreement have been assumed by the assignee;

          2. FRANCHISEE shall have paid such continuing franchise and service
     fees, advertising contributions and any other amounts owed to COMPANY or

     new franchisees;

          4. the assignee and its owner shall have executed and agreed to be

     ancillary agreements as are then customarily used by COMPANY in the grant
     of franchises for RENT-A-WRECK businesses of COMPANY;

          5. FRANCHISEE or the assignee shall have paid a reasonable transfer
     fee to COMPANY in an amount equal to the transfer fee then being charged by
     COMPANY;

          6. COMPANY shall have approved the material terms and conditions of
     such assignment; and

          7. FRANCHISEE and its owner shall have executed a release of COMPANY

     covenant in favor of COMPANY and the assignee, agreeing that for a period
     of not less than two (2) years, commencing on the effective date of the
     assignment, they will not have any interest as an owner, investor, partner,
     director, officer, employee, consultant, representative or agent, or in any
     other capacity, in any Competitive Business (as defined in Section 9)
     located within the Primary Service Area or within five miles of the border
     of the Primary Service Area.

     D.   DEATH OR DISABILITY OF FRANCHISEE.

     Upon the death or permanent disability of FRANCHISEE or a principal owner

representative of such person shall, within six (6) months from the date of
death or disability, assign his interest in the Franchise and the BUSINESS or
FRANCHISEE, to a third party approved by COMPANY subject to the conditions of
Section 13C of this Agreement.

     E.   COMPANY'S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

     If FRANCHISEE or its owner(s) shall at any time determine to sell an
interest in the BUSINESS or an ownership interest in FRANCHISEE, FRANCHISEE or
its owner(s) shall obtain a bona fide, executed written offer and a reasonable
earnest money deposit from a responsible and fully disclosed purchaser and shall
submit an exact copy of such offer to COMPANY. COMPANY shall have the right,
exercisable by written notice delivered to FRANCHISEE or its owners(s) within
thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of an exact copy of such offer to
COMPANY, to purchase such interest in the BUSINESS or such ownership interest in

offer, provided that COMPANY may substitute cash for any form of payment
proposed in such offer and shall have not less than thirty (30) days to prepare
for closing. If the proposed assignment or franchise transfer includes assets of
FRANCHISEE not strictly related to the BUSINESS, COMPANY shall not be required
to purchase such other assets. If COMPANY does not exercise its right of first
refusal, FRANCHISEE or its owner(s) may complete the sale to such purchaser
pursuant to and on the terms of such offer, subject to COMPANY's approval of the
purchaser as provided in Sections 13B and 13C, provided that if the sale to such
purchaser is not completed within ninety (90) days after delivery of such offer

     F.   DELEGATION BY COMPANY.

     FRANCHISEE agrees that COMPANY shall have the right, from time to time, to
delegate the performance of any portion or all of its obligations and duties
under this Agreement to designees, whether the same are agents of COMPANY or
independent contractors with which COMPANY has contracted to provide such
services.

                                       15
<PAGE>
15.  RIGHTS OF COMPANY AND OBLIGATIONS OF FRANCHISEE UPON TERMINATION OR
     EXPIRATION OF THE FRANCHISE.

     A.   PAYMENT OF AMOUNTS OWED TO COMPANY.

     Within fifteen (15) days after the effective date of termination or
expiration of the Franchise, FRANCHISEE agrees to pay to COMPANY any unpaid
continuing franchise fees, advertising contributions, interest due COMPANY on
any of the foregoing and all other amounts owed to COMPANY or its affiliates,
whether such obligations were incurred under this Agreement or otherwise in the
conduct of the BUSINESS, and pay other franchisees of COMPANY or any other
person or entity any monies owed to them incurred in connection with the
operation of the BUSINESS (i.e., phone bills, rent).

     B.   DE-IDENTIFICATION.

     FRANCHISEE agrees that after the termination or expiration of the Franchise
he will immediately:

          1. return to COMPANY all copies of the Operating Manual and other
     items or materials which have been loaned or furnished without charge by
     COMPANY;

          2. take such action as may be required to cancel all fictitious or
     assumed name or equivalent registrations relating to his use of any Mark;

          3. remove from the Premises or take down all signs, sign-faces,
     advertising materials, forms, invoices and other materials containing any
     Mark or otherwise identifying or relating to the BUSINESS, unless COMPANY
     exercises its option to purchase under Section 15C.

          4. notify the telephone company and all listing agencies of the
     termination or expiration of FRANCHISEE's right to use any telephone number
     and any regular, classified or other telephone directory listings
     associated with any Mark and to authorize transfer of same to or at the
     direction of COMPANY. FRANCHISEE acknowledges that as between COMPANY and
     FRANCHISEE, COMPANY has the sole rights to and interest in all telephone
     numbers and directory listings associated with any Mark and FRANCHISEE
     authorizes COMPANY and any officer of COMPANY as his attorney-in-fact, to
     direct the telephone company and all listing agencies to transfer same to
     COMPANY under the Telephone Numbers and Listings Assignment signed
     concurrently with the Franchise Agreement. At COMPANY's direction, should
     FRANCHISEE fail to do so, the telephone company and all listing agencies
     may accept such direction or this Agreement as conclusive proof of the
     exclusive rights of COMPANY in such telephone numbers and directory listing
     and its authority to direct their transfer, and take such other actions or
     execute such other documents, including but not limited to execution of
     COMPANY's telephone number transfer form, as may be necessary or as COMPANY
     requests;

          5. not directly or indirectly at any time or in any manner identify
     himself or any business as a current or former RENT-A-WRECK business, or as
     a franchisee, licensee or dealer of or as otherwise associated with
     COMPANY, or use any Mark, any colorable imitation thereof or other indicia
     of a RENT-A-WRECK business in any manner or for any purpose, or utilize for
     any purpose any trade name, trade or service mark or other commercial
     symbol that suggests or indicates a connection or association with COMPANY
     or use any of COMPANY's trade secrets, forms, slogans, signs, symbols,
     devices or materials that indicate an association with COMPANY or that is
     or was used by COMPANY and/or other RENT-A-WRECK businesses;

                                       16
<PAGE>
          6. take any actions necessary to effectuate the transfer to whomever
     COMPANY directs or to attempts to cancel or terminate, all at COMPANY's
     sole election, any and all of the licenses, agreements and permits, which
     were used in conjunction with the BUSINESS; and

          7. furnish to COMPANY within thirty (30) days after the effective date
     of termination or expiration evidence satisfactory to COMPANY of
     FRANCHISEE's compliance with the foregoing obligations.

     C.   COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE.

     FRANCHISEE agrees that upon termination of the Franchise prior to its
expiration, for a period of two (2) years, commencing on the effective date of
termination, or the date on which FRANCHISEE ceases to conduct the business
conducted pursuant to this Agreement, whichever is later, FRANCHISEE, its
general manager and FRANCHISEE's immediate family members and owners will not
have any interest as an owner, partner, director, officer, employee, consultant,
representative or agent, or in any other capacity, in any Competitive Business
(as defined in Section 9) located within the Primary Service Area or within five
miles of the border of the Primary Service Area.

     D.   CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS

     All obligations of COMPANY and FRANCHISEE which expressly or by their
nature survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall continue in
full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding its expiration or
termination and until they are satisfied in full or by their nature expire.

16.  ENFORCEMENT

     A.   SEVERABILITY AND SUBSTITUTION OF VALID PROVISIONS

     Each section, paragraph, term and provision of this Agreement shall be
considered severable and if any such portion of this Agreement is held to be
invalid, contrary to, or in conflict with any applicable present or future law
or regulation, it shall not have any effect upon such other portions of this
Agreement as may remain otherwise intelligible. If any applicable and binding
law or rule of any jurisdiction requires a greater prior notice of the
termination of this Agreement or refusal to grant a Renewal Franchise than is
required hereunder, or the taking of some other action not required hereunder or
any provision of this Agreement or any specification, standard or operating
procedure prescribed by COMPANY is invalid or unenforceable, the prior notice
and/or other action required by such law or rule shall be substituted for the
comparable provisions hereof, and COMPANY shall have the right to modify such
invalid or unenforceable provision, specification, standard or operating
procedure to the extent required to be valid and enforceable. FRANCHISEE agrees
to be bound by any such modification to this Agreement.

     B.   WAIVER OF OBLIGATIONS

     COMPANY and FRANCHISEE may by written instrument unilaterally waive or
reduce any obligation of or restriction upon the other under this Agreement,

                                       17
<PAGE>
effective upon delivery of written notice thereof to the other, but this
Agreement may not be otherwise modified except by written agreement signed by
both parties. COMPANY and FRANCHISEE shall not be deemed to have waived or
impaired any right, power or option reserved by this Agreement by virtue of any
custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof; any
failure, refusal or neglect of COMPANY or FRANCHISEE to exercise any right under
this Agreement or to insist upon exact compliance by the other with its
obligations hereunder; any waiver, forbearance, delay, failure or omission by
COMPANY to exercise any right, power or option with respect to any other
RENT-A-WRECK business(es); or the acceptance by COMPANY of any payments due from
FRANCHISEE after any breach of this Agreement.

     C.   FRANCHISEE MAY NOT WITHHOLD PAYMENTS.

     FRANCHISEE agrees that he will not, on grounds of the alleged
nonperformance by COMPANY of any of its obligations hereunder, withhold payment
of any continuing franchise and service fees, advertising contributions or any
other amounts due COMPANY or its affiliates.

     D.   COSTS AND ATTORNEYS' FEES.

     If a claim for amounts owed by FRANCHISEE to COMPANY or its affiliates is
asserted in any legal proceeding before a court or arbitrator, or if COMPANY or
FRANCHISEE is required to enforce this Agreement in a judicial or arbitration
proceeding, the party prevailing in such proceeding shall be entitled to
reimbursement of its costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys'
and accountants' fees.

     E.   GOVERNING LAW/CONSENT TO JURISDICTION

     Except to the extent governed by the United States Trademark Act of 1946
(Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. Sections 1051 et seq.), this Agreement and the franchise
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland. FRANCHISEE agrees that
COMPANY may institute any action against FRANCHISEE in any state or federal
court of general jurisdiction in the State of Maryland and FRANCHISEE
irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such court and waives any objection
he may have to the jurisdiction or venue of such court.

     F.   ARBITRATION.

     Except for controversies, disputes or claims related to or based on
FRANCHISEE'S use of the Marks after this Agreement expires or terminates, all
controversies, disputes or claims between COMPANY and its shareholders,
officers, directors, agents and employees and FRANCHISEE (its owners,
guarantors, affiliates and employees, if applicable) arising out of or related
to:

          1. this Agreement or any other agreement between FRANCHISEE and
     COMPANY or any provision of any of these agreements;

          2. COMPANY's relationship with FRANCHISEE;

          3. the validity of this Agreement or any other agreement between
     COMPANY and FRANCHISEE or any provision of any of these agreements; or

                                       18
<PAGE>
          4. any System Standards relating to establishing or operating the
     BUSINESS;

must be submitted for arbitration, on demand of either party, to the Baltimore,
Maryland office of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration
proceedings will be conducted at the American Arbitration Association office
and, except as this Agreement otherwise provides, heard by one arbitrator
according to the then current commercial arbitration rules of the American
Arbitration Association. All matters relating to arbitration will be governed by
the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. ss.ss. 1 et seq.) and not by any state
arbitration law.

     Notwithstanding the above paragraph, the obligation to arbitrate shall not
be binding on COMPANY in claims for the collection of monies due to COMPANY from
FRANCHISEE if the amount claimed by COMPANY is less than ten thousand dollars
($10,000).

     The arbitrator has the right to award or include in his or her award any
relief which he or she deems proper in the circumstances, including, without
limitation, money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the date due),
specific performance, injunctive relief and attorneys' fees and costs, provided
that the arbitrator may not declare any Mark generic or otherwise invalid or,
except as Subsection G below otherwise provides, award exemplary or punitive
damages. The arbitrator's award and decision are conclusive and binding upon all
parties, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent
jurisdiction.

     COMPANY and FRANCHISEE agree to be bound by the provisions of any
limitation on the period of time in which claims must be brought under
applicable law or this Agreement, whichever expires earlier. COMPANY and
FRANCHISEE further agree that, in any arbitration proceeding, each must submit
or file any claim which would constitute a compulsory counterclaim (as defined
by Rule 13 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) within the same proceeding
as the claim to which it relates. Any claim which is not submitted or filed as
required is forever barred.

     COMPANY and FRANCHISEE agree that arbitration will be conducted on an
individual, not a class-wide, basis, and that an arbitration proceeding between
COMPANY and its shareholders, officers, directors, agents and employees and
FRANCHISEE (and/or FRANCHISEE's owners, guarantors, affiliates and employees, if
applicable) may not be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding
between COMPANY and any other person, corporation, limited liability entity or
partnership.

     Despite COMPANY's agreement to arbitrate, COMPANY and FRANCHISEE each have

<PAGE>
          2. Minimum Fee. The minimum annual total of Monthly Fees paid by
FRANCHISEE (the "Minimum Fee") shall be as specified in Section 5 of Exhibit A.

the highest applicable rate for open account business credit, not to exceed two
percent (2%) per month. FRANCHISEE acknowledges that this Section 4C shall not
constitute COMPANY's agreement to accept such payments after same are due or a
commitment by COMPANY to extend credit to the BUSINESS and that FRANCHISEE's
failure to pay all amounts when due shall constitute grounds for termination of
this Agreement.

     D.   APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.

     Notwithstanding any designation by FRANCHISEE, COMPANY shall have sole
discretion to apply any payments received from FRANCHISEE or any indebtedness of
COMPANY to FRANCHISEE, to any past due indebtedness of FRANCHISEE for Monthly

<PAGE>
     Mandatory specifications, standards and operating procedures prescribed
from time to time by COMPANY in the Operating Manual for the BUSINESSES or

Agreement as if set forth herein. All references herein to this Agreement shall
include all such mandatory specifications, standards and operating procedures.

     COMPANY will loan to FRANCHISEE during the term of the Franchise one copy
of the Operating Manual. COMPANY shall have the right to add to and otherwise
modify the Operating Manual from time to time to reflect changes in the
specifications, standards or operating procedures for a PRICELE$$ business.
FRANCHISEE shall keep his copy of the Operating Manual current. The master copy
of the Operating Manual shall be maintained by COMPANY at its principal office
and shall be controlling in the event of a dispute.

     C.   COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICES.

     FRANCHISEE shall secure and maintain in force all required licenses,
permits and certificates relating to the operation of the BUSINESS and shall
operate the BUSINESS in full compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances and
regulations. The BUSINESS shall in all dealings with its customers, suppliers,
COMPANY and the public adhere to the highest standards of honesty, integrity,
fair dealing and ethical conduct. FRANCHISEE agrees to refrain from any business
or advertising practice which may be injurious to COMPANY and the goodwill
associated with the Marks and other PRICELE$$ businesses. FRANCHISEE shall
notify COMPANY in writing within five (5) days of the commencement of any
action, suit or proceeding which may adversely affect the operation or financial
condition of FRANCHISEE or the BUSINESS.

     D.   MANAGEMENT OF THE BUSINESS.

     The BUSINESS shall, at all times during the term of this Agreement, be
under the direct, on-premises supervision of a trained and competent general
manager who has completed COMPANY's training program or equivalent training to
COMPANY's satisfaction, and who is employed on a full-time basis to work for and
at the BUSINESS. The person(s) specified in Section 6 of Exhibit A will
initially exercise the functions of general manager with respect to all elements
of the BUSINESS. FRANCHISEE shall keep COMPANY informed at all times of the
identity of the general manager of the BUSINESS.

     E.   INSURANCE.

     FRANCHISEE shall maintain reasonable coverage for the rental or lease of
any vehicle owned, rented or leased by FRANCHISEE or the BUSINESS and any other
vehicle which is rented, leased or sold on a rent-to-own basis or is available
for rental, lease or sale to customers of FRANCHISEE. Such insurance shall
provide coverage against bodily and personal injury, death and property damage
caused by or occurring in conjunction with the rental or lease of vehicles, the
operation of the BUSINESS or otherwise in conjunction with the conduct of
business by FRANCHISEE pursuant to the Franchise with such minimum limits as
COMPANY specifies in writing from time to time. Such insurance shall not be a
claims-made policy, but must be written on an occurrence form. Such insurance
coverage shall be maintained under one or more policies of insurance issued by

                                       6
<PAGE>
carriers rated "A" or better by Alfred M. Best & Company, Inc., unless otherwise
approved in writing by company. COMPANY may designate one or more suppliers of
rental vehicle liability insurance, and the designated supplier may be COMPANY
or an affiliate, and FRANCHISEE must purchase such coverage from the designated
supplier. All liability insurance policies required hereunder shall name COMPANY
(and its officers, directors and employees) as an additional insured, contain a
waiver by the insurance carrier of all subrogation rights against COMPANY and
shall provide that COMPANY receive thirty (30) days prior written notice of
termination, expiration or cancellation or modification of any such policy.
FRANCHISEE shall furnish to COMPANY annually a copy of the certificate of or
other evidence of the renewal or extension of each such insurance policy.
COMPANY may reasonably increase the minimum protection requirement as of the
renewal date of any policy, and reasonably require different or additional kinds
of insurance at any time, including excess liability (umbrella) insurance, which
COMPANY deems, in COMPANY's sole discretion, to be necessary or advantageous to
FRANCHISEE or COMPANY's system of franchises. FRANCHISEE shall at all times
during the term of the Franchise maintain in force at his sole expense
comprehensive general liability insurance coverage (including, but not limited
to, coverage for personal injury, property damage and product and motor vehicle
liability) against claims arising from the operation of the Business.

     FRANCHISEE appoints COMPANY its attorney-in-fact to direct any and all of
FRANCHISEE's insurers to provide COMPANY, upon COMPANY's request, with
information showing the number of vehicles FRANCHISEE has insured at any time.

     F.   COMPANY PROGRAMS.

     FRANCHISEE shall subscribe to, participate in and comply with any of the
programs, promotions, campaigns or activities which COMPANY enters into, engages
in or reasonably prescribes (e.g., credit card programs, telephone service
programs or advertising programs). FRANCHISEE shall supervise and service such
programs, promotions and activities pursuant to the terms thereof. FRANCHISEE
shall contribute to the expenses thereof, if any, on the same pro rata basis as
other franchisees. FRANCHISEE shall encourage and solicit vehicle rental
customers to patronize other PRICELE$$ businesses, and will exclusively refer,
commission free, all vehicle reservations to other franchisees or COMPANY rental
locations, when there is such a franchisee or COMPANY rental location in the
area concerned. FRANCHISEE also shall provide 24-hour emergency road service. If
COMPANY offers a national program, FRANCHISEE may be required to participate in
such program. FRANCHISEE shall provide COMPANY with information about
FRANCHISEE's emergency service providers and shall keep such information current
so that COMPANY can make arrangements when and if necessary. FRANCHISEE is
authorized to expend up to seventy dollars ($70) on behalf of another franchisee
without his authorization. Any amount in excess of seventy dollars ($70) shall
require the oral authorization from the other franchisee. FRANCHISEE agrees to
bill the franchisee from whom such car was rented only for the actual
out-of-pocket cost of such servicing, and to promptly pay other franchisees who
assist one of its customers.

                                       7
<PAGE>
     G.   CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS.

     FRANCHISEE shall make every attempt to resolve disputes with its customers
in a fair and even-handed manner. Customer complaints originating with COMPANY
shall be referred first to FRANCHISEE for resolution. COMPANY has the right to
intervene in disputes that cannot be resolved by FRANCHISEE, and to resolve such
disputes on terms it deems fair and reasonable in its sole discretion. Such
resolutions may result in payments to customers, for which FRANCHISEE shall be
solely responsible. COMPANY has the right to make such payments to customers on
FRANCHISEE's behalf, in which cases, FRANCHISEE shall pay said amounts to
COMPANY on demand.

7.   ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION.

     A.   BY COMPANY.

     Recognizing the value of uniform advertising and promotion to the goodwill
and public image of PRICELE$$ businesses of COMPANY, COMPANY agrees to maintain
and administer an advertising fund (the "National Fund") for the preparation of
advertising materials and such advertising programs as COMPANY may deem
necessary or appropriate. FRANCHISEE shall contribute to the National Fund seven
dollars ($7.00) for each Rental Vehicle in the Fleet. Such contribution is due
and payable by the tenth (10th) day of each month on the total number of Rental
Vehicles in the Fleet on the last day of the preceding calendar month. In order
to verify the number of Rental Vehicles in the Fleet each month, FRANCHISEE will
submit to COMPANY (along with the advertising contribution) a copy of
FRANCHISEE's monthly insurance statements for the preceding month showing the
number of Rental Vehicles. Additionally, FRANCHISEE agrees to contribute, as
specified from time to time by COMPANY, to a regional advertising fund (the
"Regional Fund"); provided, however, that such contribution may not exceed
FRANCHISEE's payment to the National Fund. If FRANCHISEE's advertising
contributions are not current, then FRANCHISEE may be excluded from
participating in any program paid for by the National Fund.

     FRANCHISEE agrees that the National and Regional Funds (the "Funds") may be
used to meet any and all costs of maintaining, administering, directing and
preparing national, regional or local advertising, sales promotion and public
relations activities, including, without limitation, the costs of preparing and
conducting television, radio, magazine, billboard, newspaper and other media
programs and activities, and employing advertising agencies. COMPANY may spend
in any fiscal year an amount greater or less than the aggregate contributions of
PRICELE$$ businesses to the Funds in that year and COMPANY may make loans to the
Funds bearing reasonable interest to cover any deficits of the Funds and cause
the Funds to invest any surplus for future use by the Funds. FRANCHISEE shall
have no right, claim or interest of any kind in or to any of the contributions
paid by FRANCHISEE, or any other entity, or to any allocation of or use of the
National Fund or Regional Fund. The Funds shall be accounted for separately from
the other funds of COMPANY and shall not be used to defray any of COMPANY's
general operating expenses not associated with or attributable to the activities
of the Funds. A report of the operations of the Funds shall be prepared annually
by COMPANY and shall be made available to FRANCHISEE upon request.

                                       8
<PAGE>
     Franchisee's contribution to either or both the Funds may be increased if:
(i) the majority of the dully elected or appointed members of COMPANY's
Franchisee Advisory Council (the "Advisory Council") recommends an increase; and
(ii) COMPANY, in its sole discretion, approves the Advisory Council's
recommendation; provided, however, that such increase shall only occur once
during any Agreement Year; and, provided further that the amount of such
increase will not exceed ten percent (10%) of the contribution charged as of the
date of such increase. If COMPANY's Franchise Advisory Council has been
disbanded or terminated, COMPANY may in its sole discretion increase
Franchisee's contributions to the Fund, subject to the above restrictions,
provided that COMPANY increases the contributions of all other franchisees in
cases where COMPANY has the contractual right to do so. FRANCHISEE understands
and acknowledges that the Funds are intended to maximize general public
recognition and patronage of the Marks and the entire system for the benefit of
all PRICELE$$ businesses and that COMPANY undertakes no obligation administering
the Funds to ensure that expenditures which are proportionate or equivalent to
FRANCHISEE's contributions are made for the market area of the BUSINESS or that
any PRICELE$$ businesses benefit directly or pro-rata from the placement of
advertising. Except as expressly provided in this Section, COMPANY assumes no
direct or indirect liability or obligation to FRANCHISEE with respect to the
maintenance, direction or administration of the Funds. FRANCHISEE acknowledges
and agrees that COMPANY has no fiduciary obligation to FRANCHISEE or any other
PRICELE$$ business in connection with the collection, control or administration
of monies paid into the Fund.

     B.   BY FRANCHISEE.

     FRANCHISEE agrees to list and advertise the BUSINESS in conformance with
the requirements specified in COMPANY's Operating Manual. FRANCHISEE shall not
advertise in any telephone directory or other medium that is circulated wholly
outside the Primary Service Area. If FRANCHISEE advertises in a telephone
directory in which advertisements by another or other PRICELE$$ franchisee(s)
appear, all franchisees who advertise in that directory shall share a single
display advertisement. If the franchisees cannot agree on the size or content or
cost-sharing of the joint advertisement, COMPANY shall, in its sole discretion,
determine the size, content, cost sharing arrangements and all other aspects of
the joint advertisement; and that decision shall be binding on FRANCHISEE.
Additionally, FRANCHISEE shall maintain at least two (2) telephone numbers, one
of which shall be a local number and the other a toll free number. The numbers
shall be listed and identified exclusively with the BUSINESS and shall be
separate and distinct from all other telephone numbers maintained for or by
FRANCHISEE. FRANCHISEE shall register all of its telephone numbers used in
connection with the BUSINESS with COMPANY within five (5) days of first use, to
provide updates if any changes to such numbers occur and execute COMPANY's form
of Assignment of Telephone Numbers and Listings which is attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit B.

8.   MARKS.

     A.   OWNERSHIP AND GOODWILL OF MARKS.

     FRANCHISEE acknowledges that COMPANY or its affiliate owns the Marks
licensed to FRANCHISEE by this Agreement, that FRANCHISEE's right to use the

                                       9
<PAGE>
Marks is derived solely from this Agreement and is limited to the conduct of
business by FRANCHISEE pursuant to and in compliance with this Agreement and all
applicable specifications, standards and operating procedures prescribed by
COMPANY from time to time during the term of the FRANCHISE. Any unauthorized use
of the Marks by FRANCHISEE shall constitute an infringement of the rights of
COMPANY in and to the Marks. FRANCHISEE agrees that all usage of the Marks by
the FRANCHISEE and any goodwill established thereby shall inure to the exclusive
benefit of COMPANY and FRANCHISEE acknowledges that this Agreement does not
confer any goodwill or other interests in the Marks upon FRANCHISEE.

     B.   LIMITATIONS ON FRANCHISEE'S USE OF MARKS.

     FRANCHISEE agrees to use the Marks as the sole identification of the
BUSINESS, provided that FRANCHISEE shall identify himself as the independent
owner thereof in the manner prescribed by COMPANY. FRANCHISEE shall not use any
Mark or any corporate or business name of COMPANY, (i) as part of any corporate
or trade name, (ii) with any prefix, suffix or other modifying words, terms,
designs or symbols (other than logos licensed to FRANCHISEE hereunder), (iii) in
any modified form, (iv) as part of any domain name, website, home page,
electronic address, or other interactive site maintained on the internet, the
world wide web, or any other similar proprietary or common carrier electronic
delivery system, or (v) in any manner not expressly authorized in writing by
COMPANY. FRANCHISEE agrees to prominently display the Marks on or in connection
with all advertising, rental agreements, stationery, forms and any other
materials designated by COMPANY, and in the manner prescribed by COMPANY, to
give such notices of trade and service mark registrations and copyrights as
COMPANY specifies and to obtain such fictitious or assumed name registrations as
may be required under applicable law.

     C.   NOTIFICATION OF INFRINGEMENTS AND CLAIMS.

     FRANCHISEE shall immediately notify COMPANY of any apparent infringement of
or challenge to FRANCHISEE'S use of any Mark. COMPANY shall have sole discretion
to take such action as it deems appropriate and the right to exclusively control
any litigation or proceeding arising out of any such infringement or challenge
and FRANCHISEE agrees to render such assistance in connection therewith as
COMPANY deems necessary or advisable.

     D.   INDEMNIFICATION OF FRANCHISEE.

     COMPANY agrees to indemnify FRANCHISEE against and to reimburse FRANCHISEE
for all damages for which he is liable in any proceeding arising out of his
authorized use of any Mark pursuant to and in compliance with this Agreement and
for all costs reasonably incurred by FRANCHISEE in such proceeding in which
FRANCHISEE is named as a party, provided that FRANCHISEE has timely notified
COMPANY of such claim or proceeding and has otherwise complied with this
Agreement. If it becomes advisable at any time in COMPANY's sole discretion for
COMPANY and/or FRANCHISEE to modify or discontinue use of any Mark, and/or use
one or more additional or substitute trade or service marks, FRANCHISEE agrees
to comply with COMPANY's direction within a reasonable time after notice
thereof. COMPANY will pay for FRANCHISEE's out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
complying with such direction.

                                       10
<PAGE>
9.   KNOW-HOW.

     COMPANY possesses proprietary know-how comprising methods, techniques,
specifications, procedures, information, systems and knowledge of and experience
in the development and operation of PRICELE$$ businesses (the "Know-How").
COMPANY will disclose the Know-How to FRANCHISEE in the training program, the
Operating Manual and in guidance furnished to FRANCHISEE during the term of the
Franchise. FRANCHISEE acknowledges that the Know-How is proprietary and a trade
secret of COMPANY and disclosed to FRANCHISEE solely for use by FRANCHISEE in
the operation of the BUSINESS during the term of the Franchise.

     FRANCHISEE acknowledges that it would not be possible for COMPANY to
protect its trade secrets against unauthorized use or disclosure if FRANCHISEE
holds an interest in a business similar to the BUSINESS. FRANCHISEE therefore
agrees that all employees of the BUSINESS shall execute COMPANY's then current
form of confidentiality and non-competition agreement and FRANCHISEE,
FRANCHISEE's general manager and FRANCHISEE's immediate family members and
owners will not during the term of the Franchise have any interest as an owner,
director, officer, employee, consultant, representative or agent, or in any
other capacity, in any Competitive Business. As used in this Agreement,
"Competitive Business" means any business or enterprise other than a PRICELE$$
or RENT-A-WRECK business that rents or leases automobiles, vans or trucks, or
any other vehicles.

10.  RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES/INDEMNIFICATION.

     The parties agree that this Agreement does not create a fiduciary
relationship between them, that the parties are and shall be independent
contractors and that nothing in this Agreement is intended to make either party
a general or special agent, legal representative, subsidiary, joint venturer,
partner, employee or servant of the other for any purpose. COMPANY shall not be
obligated for any damages to any person or property directly or indirectly
arising out of the operation of the BUSINESS, whether caused by FRANCHISEE's
negligent or willful action or failure to act. COMPANY shall have no liability
for any sales, use, excise, gross receipts, income, property or other taxes,
whether levied upon FRANCHISEE, the BUSINESS or its assets, or upon COMPANY, in
connection with the business conducted by FRANCHISEE, or any fees, contributions
or other payments made by FRANCHISEE to COMPANY.

     FRANCHISEE shall indemnify, defend and hold COMPANY, its subsidiaries,
affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and
assignees harmless against any liability for any claims, actual and
consequential damages, taxes, attorneys' fees and costs incurred in defending
any claim against any of them, directly or indirectly arising out of the
operation of the BUSINESS. The indemnities and assumptions of liabilities and
obligations herein shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and
notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

11.  RECORDS AND REPORTS.

     A.   RECORDS.

     During the term of the Franchise, FRANCHISEE agrees, at his expense, to use
the rental agreement numbering system assigned to him by COMPANY and the then
current standard rental agreement specified by COMPANY, and to maintain at
FRANCHISEE's principal office and preserve for three (3) years from the date of
their preparation any and all rental agreements, records of Rental Vehicles and
such other documents, supporting records and forms designated by COMPANY.
COMPANY may require that specified information be compiled by FRANCHISEE in a
computerized database. FRANCHISEE shall provide COMPANY on or before the tenth

     B.   REPORTS.

     FRANCHISEE shall furnish COMPANY on the tenth (10th) day of each month, in
the form prescribed by COMPANY from time to time, a report signed and verified

partner of FRANCHISEE), if such statements are prepared by FRANCHISEE's internal
staff, or by a Certified Public Accountant, if such statements are prepared by a
Certified Public Accountant, accurately reflecting each Rental Vehicle in the
Fleet, the number of the rental agreements used, total Gross Revenues for the
preceding month, weekly and/or monthly summaries of daily activity reports and
such other data, information and supporting records as COMPANY from time to time
requires. FRANCHISEE shall also furnish COMPANY semi-annual reports, in such
form as specified by COMPANY, containing information including but not limited
to that supplied in FRANCHISEE's monthly reports during the preceding six (6)
months, and such other data, information and records as COMPANY may from time to
time require. COMPANY may require that FRANCHISEE submit reports via e-mail or
other computerized form and/or that COMPANY have access to FRANCHISEE's computer
system to obtain such reportable information.

     C.   STANDARD CHART OF ACCOUNTS.

     FRANCHISEE shall establish a bookkeeping and accounting system which
utilizes, without violation, COMPANY's then current standard chart of accounts.
All bookkeeping and accounting records maintained by FRANCHISEE, all financial
statements prepared by or for FRANCHISEE and all reports submitted by FRANCHISEE
to COMPANY shall conform to COMPANY's then current standard chart of accounts as
described in the Operating Manual. All such bookkeeping and accounting records
and all financial statements, for such periods as may from time to time be
prescribed in the Operating Manual, shall be maintained available for inspection
by COMPANY during normal business hours.

12.  COMPANY'S RIGHT TO INSPECT AND AUDIT THE BUSINESS.

records of the BUSINESS, whether handwritten, printed, computer-generated or
electronic; and, FRANCHISEE shall allow COMPANY full and complete access to all
computers and computer systems used in the BUSINESS. FRANCHISEE also agrees to
allow COMPANY access to the federal, state and local income tax returns of
FRANCHISEE and FRANCHISEE hereby waives any privilege pertaining thereto.
FRANCHISEE shall fully cooperate with representatives of COMPANY making any such
inspection and/or audit and shall permit representatives of COMPANY to take
photographs, movies or videotapes of BUSINESS and to interview the employees of
the BUSINESS. COMPANY shall bear the cost of all such inspections and audits,
provided that if any such inspection or audit discloses that FRANCHISEE has
failed to comply with any provisions of this Agreement or the Operating Manual
in a manner that would permit COMPANY to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
Section 15 of this Agreement, in addition to all other remedies and rights
available to COMPANY, the cost of such inspection and/or audit, including normal
daily compensation, traveling expenses, room and board (not to exceed one
thousand dollars ($1,000.00), shall be borne by FRANCHISEE. COMPANY's rights
under this Section 12 shall apply only to the operation of the BUSINESS.

13.  ASSIGNMENT.

     A.   BY COMPANY.

     This Agreement and the Franchise is fully assignable by COMPANY and shall

interest of COMPANY herein.

     B.   FRANCHISEE MAY ASSIGN WITH THE APPROVAL OF COMPANY.

     FRANCHISEE understands and acknowledges that the right and duties created
by this Agreement are personal to FRANCHISEE or to its owner and that COMPANY
has granted the franchise in reliance upon the individual or collective
character, skill, aptitude, attitude, business ability and financial capacity of
FRANCHISEE or its owner. Therefore, the Franchise, the BUSINESS (or any interest
therein) or any part or all of the ownership of FRANCHISEE may be assigned,
sold, subdivided or otherwise transferred by FRANCHISEE or its owner only upon
the prior written approval of COMPANY, and any such assignment or transfer
without such approval shall constitute a breach hereof and convey no rights to
or interests in the Franchise or the BUSINESS.

     If FRANCHISEE and its owners are in full compliance with this Agreement,
COMPANY shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of an assignment, provided
that the proposed assignee(s) are, in the opinion of COMPANY, individuals of
good moral character who have sufficient business experience, aptitude and
financial resources to own and operate the BUSINESS and otherwise meet COMPANY's
then applicable standards for franchisees, and further provided that the
following conditions are met prior to, or concurrently with, the effective date
of this assignment:

          1. all obligations of FRANCHISEE and its owner incurred in connection
with this Agreement have been assumed by the assignee;

<PAGE>
          2. FRANCHISEE shall have paid such continuing franchise and service
fees, advertising contributions and any other amounts owed to COMPANY or its
affiliates, or to any other person or entity to which non-payment will affect
the ongoing operations of the BUSINESS, which are then due and unpaid;

          3. the assignee agrees to complete the training program required of
new franchisees;

          4. the assignee and its owner shall have executed and agreed to be
bound by COMPANY's then current form of franchise agreement and such ancillary
agreements as are then customarily used by COMPANY in the grant of franchises
for PRICELE$$ businesses of COMPANY;

          5. FRANCHISEE or the assignee shall have paid a reasonable transfer
fee to COMPANY in an amount equal to the transfer fee then being charged by
COMPANY;

          6. COMPANY shall have approved the material terms and conditions of
such assignment; and

          7. FRANCHISEE and its owner shall have executed a release of COMPANY
of all possible liability to FRANCHISEE and its owner and a non-competition
covenant in favor of COMPANY and the assignee, agreeing that for a period of not
less than two (2) years, commencing on the effective date of the assignment,
they will not have any interest as an owner, investor, partner, director,
officer, employee, consultant, representative or agent, or in any other
capacity, in any Competitive Business (as defined in Section 9) located within
the Primary Service Area or within five miles of the border of the Primary
Service Area.

     D.   DEATH OR DISABILITY OF FRANCHISEE.

     Upon the death or permanent disability of FRANCHISEE or a principal owner
of FRANCHISEE, the executor, administrator, conservator or other personal

death or disability, assign his interest in the Franchise and the BUSINESS or
FRANCHISEE, to a third party approved by COMPANY subject to the conditions of
Section 13C of this Agreement.

<PAGE>
     E.   COMPANY'S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

     If FRANCHISEE or its owner(s) shall at any time determine to sell an
interest in the BUSINESS or an ownership interest in FRANCHISEE, FRANCHISEE or
its owner(s) shall obtain a bona fide, executed written offer and a reasonable
earnest money deposit from a responsible and fully disclosed purchaser and shall
submit an exact copy of such offer to COMPANY. COMPANY shall have the right,
exercisable by written notice delivered to FRANCHISEE or its owner(s) within
thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of an exact copy of such offer to
COMPANY, to purchase such interest in the BUSINESS or such ownership interest in
FRANCHISEE for the price and on the terms and conditions contained in such
offer, provided that COMPANY may substitute cash for any form of payment
proposed in such offer and shall have not less than thirty (30) days to prepare
for closing. If the proposed assignment or franchise transfer includes assets of
FRANCHISEE not strictly related to the BUSINESS, COMPANY shall not be required
to purchase such other assets. If COMPANY does not exercise its right of first
refusal, FRANCHISEE or its owner(s) may complete the sale to such purchaser
pursuant to and on the terms of such offer, subject to COMPANY's approval of the
purchaser as provided in Sections 13B and 13C, provided that if the sale to such
purchaser is not completed within ninety (90) days after delivery of such offer
to COMPANY, or if there is a material change in the terms of the sale, COMPANY
shall again have the right of first refusal herein provided.

     F.   DELEGATION BY COMPANY.

     FRANCHISEE agrees that COMPANY shall have the right, from time to time, to

                                       16
<PAGE>
     COMPANY shall have the further right to terminate this Agreement without
further notice, such termination effective immediately upon the expiration of
any correction or cure period, if FRANCHISEE, its owners or the BUSINESS fails
to comply with any other provision of this Agreement or any mandatory
specification, standard or operating procedure prescribed by COMPANY and do not
correct such failure within thirty (30) days after written notice of such
failure to comply is delivered to them if a non-monetary matter is involved and
fifteen (15) days after written notice if a monetary matter is involved,
however, see (11) above which applies as specified therein.

15.  RIGHTS OF COMPANY AND OBLIGATIONS OF FRANCHISEE UPON TERMINATION OR
     EXPIRATION OF THE FRANCHISE.

     A.   PAYMENT OF AMOUNTS OWED TO COMPANY.

     Within fifteen (15) days after the effective date of termination or
expiration of the Franchise, FRANCHISEE agrees to pay to COMPANY any unpaid
continuing franchise fees, advertising contributions, interest due COMPANY on
any of the foregoing and all other amounts owed to COMPANY or its affiliates,
whether such obligations were incurred under this Agreement or otherwise in the
conduct of the BUSINESS, and pay other franchisees of COMPANY or any other
person or entity any monies owed to them incurred in connection with the
operation of the BUSINESS (i.e. phone bills, rent).

     B.   DE-IDENTIFICATION.

     FRANCHISEE agrees that after the termination or expiration of the Franchise
he will immediately:

          1. return to COMPANY all copies of the Operating Manual and other
items or materials which have been loaned or furnished without charge by
COMPANY;

          2. take such action as may be required to cancel all fictitious or
assumed name or equivalent registrations relating to his use of any Mark;

          3. remove from the Premises or take down all signs, sign-faces,
advertising materials, forms, invoices and other materials containing any Mark
or otherwise identifying or relating to the BUSINESS, unless COMPANY exercises
its option to purchase under Section 15C;

          4. notify the telephone company and all listing agencies of the
termination or expiration of FRANCHISEE's right to use any telephone number and
any regular, classified or other telephone directory listings associated with
any Mark and to authorize transfer of same to or at the direction of COMPANY.
FRANCHISEE acknowledges that as between COMPANY and FRANCHISEE, COMPANY has the
sole rights to and interest in all telephone numbers and directory listings
associated with any Mark and FRANCHISEE authorizes COMPANY and any officer of
COMPANY as his attorney in fact, to direct the telephone company and all listing
agencies to transfer same to COMPANY under the Telephone Numbers and Listings
Assignment signed concurrently with the Franchise Agreement. At COMPANY's
direction, should FRANCHISEE fail to do so, the telephone company and all
listing agencies may accept such direction or this Agreement as conclusive proof

                                       17
<PAGE>
of the exclusive rights of COMPANY in such telephone numbers and directory
listing and its authority to direct their transfer, and take such other actions
or execute such other documents, including but not limited to execution of
COMPANY's telephone number transfer form, as may be necessary or as COMPANY
requests;

          5. not directly or indirectly at any time or in any manner identify
himself or any business as a current or former PRICELE$$ business, or as a
franchisee, licensee or dealer of or as otherwise associated with COMPANY, or
use any Mark, any colorable imitation thereof or other indicia of a PRICELE$$
business in any manner or for any purpose, or utilize for any purpose any trade
name, trade or service mark or other commercial symbol that suggests or
indicates a connection or association with COMPANY or use of any of COMPANY's
trade secrets, forms, slogans, signs, symbols, devices or materials that
indicate an association with COMPANY or that is or was used by COMPANY and/or
other PRICELE$$ businesses;

          6. take any actions necessary to effectuate the transfer to whomever
COMPANY directs or to attempt to cancel or terminate, all at COMPANY's sole
election, any and all of the licenses, agreements and permits, which were used
in conjunction with the BUSINESS; and

          7. furnish to COMPANY within thirty (30) days after the effective date
of termination or expiration evidence satisfactory to COMPANY of FRANCHISEE's
compliance with the foregoing obligations.

     C.   COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE.

     FRANCHISEE agrees that upon termination of the Franchise prior to its
expiration, for a period of two (2) years, commencing on the effective date of
termination, or the date on which FRANCHISEE ceases to conduct the business
conducted pursuant to this Agreement, whichever is later, FRANCHISEE, its
general manager and FRANCHISEE's immediate family members and owners will not
have any interest as an owner, partner, director, officer, employee, consultant,
representative or agent, or in any other capacity, in any Competitive Business
(as defined in Section 9) located within the Primary Service Area or within five
miles of the border of the Primary Service Area.

     D.   CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS.

     All obligations of COMPANY and FRANCHISEE which expressly or by their

termination and until they are satisfied in full or by their nature expire.

16.  ENFORCEMENT.

     A.   SEVERABILITY AND SUBSTITUTION OF VALID PROVISIONS

     Each section, paragraph, term and provision of this Agreement shall be
considered severable and if any such portion of this Agreement is held to be
invalid, contrary to, or in conflict with any applicable present or future law
or regulation, it shall not have any effect upon such other portions of this
Agreement as may remain otherwise intelligible. If any applicable and binding

                                       18
<PAGE>
law or rule of any jurisdiction requires a greater prior notice of the
termination of this Agreement or refusal to grant a Renewal Franchise than is
required hereunder, or the taking of some other action not required hereunder or
any provision of this Agreement or any specification, standard or operating
procedure prescribed by COMPANY is invalid or unenforceable, the prior notice
and/or other action required by such law or rule shall be substituted for the
comparable provisions hereof, and COMPANY shall have the right to modify such
invalid or unenforceable provision, specification, standard or operating
procedure to the extent required to be valid and enforceable. FRANCHISEE agrees
to be bound by any such modification to this Agreement.

     B.   WAIVER OF OBLIGATIONS.

     COMPANY and FRANCHISEE may by written instrument unilaterally waive or
reduce any obligation or restriction upon the other under this Agreement,
effective upon delivery of written notice thereof to the other, but this
Agreement may not be otherwise modified except by written agreement signed by
both parties. COMPANY and FRANCHISEE shall not be deemed to have waived or
impaired any right, power or option reserved by this Agreement by virtue of any
custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof; any
failure, refusal or neglect of COMPANY or FRANCHISEE to exercise any right under
this Agreement or to insist upon exact compliance by the other with its
obligations hereunder; any waiver, forbearance, delay, failure or omission by
COMPANY to exercise any right, power or option with respect to any other
PRICELE$$ business(es); or the acceptance by COMPANY of any payments due from
FRANCHISEE after any breach of this Agreement.

     C.   FRANCHISEE MAY NOT WITHHOLD PAYMENTS.

     FRANCHISEE agrees that he will not, on grounds of the alleged
nonperformance by COMPANY of any of its obligations hereunder, withhold payment
of any continuing franchise and service fees, advertising contributions or any
other amounts due COMPANY or its affiliates.

     D.   COSTS AND ATTORNEYS' FEES.

     If a claim for amounts owed by FRANCHISEE to COMPANY or its affiliates is
asserted in any legal proceeding before a court or arbitrator, or if COMPANY or
FRANCHISEE is required to enforce this Agreement in a judicial or arbitration
proceeding, the party prevailing in such proceeding shall be entitled to
reimbursement of its costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys'
and accountants' fees.

     E.   GOVERNING LAW/CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.

     Except to the extent governed by the United States Trademark Act of 1946
(Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. Sections 1051 et seq.), this Agreement and the Franchise
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland. FRANCHISEE agrees that
COMPANY may institute any action against FRANCHISEE in any state or federal
court of general jurisdiction in the State of Maryland and FRANCHISEE
irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such court and waives any objection
he may have to the jurisdiction or venue of such court.

                                       19
<PAGE>
     F.   ARBITRATION.

     Except for controversies, disputes or claims related to or based on
FRANCHISEE'S use of the Marks after this Agreement expires or terminates, all
controversies, disputes or claims between COMPANY and its shareholders,
officers, directors, agents and employees and FRANCHISEE (its owners,
guarantors, affiliates and employees, if applicable) arising out of or related
to:

          1. this Agreement or any other agreement between FRANCHISEE and
COMPANY or any provision of any of these agreements;

          2. COMPANY'S relationship with FRANCHISEE;

          3. the validity of this Agreement or any other agreement between
COMPANY and FRANCHISEE or any provision of any of these agreements; or

          4. any System Standards relating to establishing or operating the
BUSINESS;

must be submitted for arbitration,  on demand of either party, to the Baltimore,
Maryland  office  of  the  American  Arbitration  Association.  The  arbitration
proceedings will be conducted at that American  Arbitration  Association  office
and,  except  as this  Agreement  otherwise  provides,  heard by one  arbitrator
according  to the then  current  commercial  arbitration  rules of the  American
Arbitration Association. All matters relating to arbitration will be governed by
the Federal  Arbitration  Act (9 U.S.C.  ss.ss.  1 et seq.) and not by any state
arbitration law.

     Notwithstanding the above paragraph, the obligation to arbitrate shall not
be binding on COMPANY in claims for the collection of monies due to COMPANY from
FRANCHISEE if the amount claimed by COMPANY is less than ten thousand dollars
($10,000).

     The arbitrator has the right to award or include in his or her award any
relief which he or she deems proper in the circumstances, including, without
limitation, money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the date due),
specific performance, injunctive relief and attorneys' fees and costs, provided
that the arbitrator may not declare any Mark generic or otherwise invalid or,
except as Subsection G below otherwise provides, award exemplary or punitive
damages. The arbitrator's award and decision are conclusive and binding upon all
parties, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent
jurisdiction.

     COMPANY and FRANCHISEE agree to be bound by the provisions of any
limitation on the period of time in which claims must be brought under
applicable law or this Agreement, whichever expires earlier. COMPANY and
FRANCHISEE further agree that, in any arbitration proceeding, each must submit
or file any claim which would constitute a compulsory counterclaim (as defined
by Rule 13 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) within the same proceeding
as the claim to which it relates. Any claim which is not submitted or filed as
required is forever barred.

                                       20
<PAGE>
     COMPANY and FRANCHISEE agree that arbitration will be conducted on an
individual, not a class-wide, basis, and that an arbitration proceeding between
COMPANY and its shareholders, officers, directors, agents and employees and
FRANCHISEE (and/or FRANCHISEE's owners, guarantors, affiliates and employees, if
applicable) may not be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding
between COMPANY and any other person, corporation, limited liability entity or
partnership.

     Despite COMPANY's agreement to arbitrate, COMPANY and FRANCHISEE each have
the right in a proper case to seek temporary restraining orders and temporary or
preliminary injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction; provided,
however, that COMPANY and FRANCHISEE must contemporaneously submit COMPANY's
dispute for arbitration on the merits as provided in this Subsection.

     The provisions of this Subsection are intended to benefit and bind certain
third party non-signatories and will continue in full force and effect
subsequent to and notwithstanding this Agreement's expiration or termination.

     G.   WAIVER OF PUNITIVE DAMAGES AND JURY TRIAL.

     Except for claims COMPANY may bring against FRANCHISEE for his unauthorized
use of the Marks or unauthorized use or disclosure of any confidential
information, COMPANY and FRANCHISEE and their respective owners waive to the
fullest extent the law permits any right to or claim for any punitive or
exemplary damages against the other and agree that, in the event of a dispute
between COMPANY and FRANCHISEE, the party making a claim will be limited to
equitable relief and recovery of any actual damages it sustains. However, if
FRANCHISEE is required to indemnify COMPANY for any claim or liability under
Section 10, FRANCHISEE shall indemnify COMPANY for the full amount of any such
claim or liability, including any punitive damages.

     COMPANY and FRANCHISEE irrevocably waive trial by jury in any action,
proceeding or counterclaim, whether at law or in equity, brought by either of
them.

     H.   BINDING EFFECT.

     This Agreement is binding upon COMPANY and FRANCHISEE and their respective
executors, administrators, heirs, beneficiaries, assigns and successors in
interest and may not be modified except by a written agreement signed by both
COMPANY and FRANCHISEE.

     I.   LIMITATIONS OF CLAIMS.

     Except for claims arising from FRANCHISEE's non-payment or underpayment of
amounts FRANCHISEE owes COMPANY under this Agreement or otherwise, any and all
claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or COMPANY's relationship
with FRANCHISEE will be barred unless a judicial or arbitration proceeding is
commenced within twelve (12) months from the date on which the party asserting
the claim knew or should have known of the facts giving rise to the claims.

                                       21
