                  (subject to any restrictions of general application on
                  transfer by reason of a holder being a "control person" for
                  purposes of Canadian provincial securities law);

            (v)   list the Registrable Stock covered by such Registration

                  that purpose have been instituted or are pending or
                  contemplated under the Securities Act, and (II) the
                  Registration Statement, the Prospectus and each amendment or

            connection with  investigating or defending any such loss,  claim,
            damage, liability or action,  provided,  however, that each Seller
            will be  liable  hereunder  in any  such  case if and  only to the
            extent that any such loss,  claim,  damage or liability arises out
            of  or is  based  upon  an  untrue  statement  or  alleged  untrue
            statement or omission or alleged  omission  made in reliance  upon
            and in  conformity  with  information  pertaining  to such  Seller
            furnished   in   writing   to  the   Corporation   by  the  Seller
            specifically   for  use  in   such   Registration   Statement   or
            Prospectus,  and the Seller will reimburse, as incurred, any legal
            or other expenses  reasonably  incurred by any person  intended to
            be  indemnified  pursuant to this  subsection in  connection  with
            investigating  or  defending  any  such  loss,  claim,  damage  or
            liability,  provided,  further,  that the  liability of the Seller
            hereunder  shall be  limited to the  proportion  of any such loss,
            claim,  damage,  liability  or  expense  which  is  equal  to  the
            proportion  that the public  offering  price of the shares sold by
            the Seller under such  Registration  Statement  bears to the total
            public offering price of all securities sold  thereunder,  but not
            in any event to exceed  the net  proceeds  received  by the Seller
            from the sale of  Registrable  Stock covered by such  Registration
            Statement.

      (c)   Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice
            of the commencement of any action (including any governmental
            action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof
            is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the
            indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify
            the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which
            it may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section
            5 and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to
            such indemnified party under this Section 5 if and to the extent the
            indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such
            action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall
            notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
            indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the
            extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof
            with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and,
            after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
            of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the
            indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party
            under this Section 5 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by
            such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other
            than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel
            so selected, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such
            action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party
            and the indemnified party has concluded that there are reasonable
            defenses available to it (based on an opinion of nationally
            recognized legal counsel in the United States) which are different
            from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or
            if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed
            to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the
            indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel
            and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in
            the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such
            separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to
            be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. No indemnifying
            party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation shall, except
            with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any
            judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an
            unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
            to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect
            of such claim or litigation, and no indemnified party shall consent
            to entry of any judgment or settle such claim or litigation without
            the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, and such
            indemnifying party shall have no obligation whatsoever with respect
            to any claim that has been so settled or any judgment that has been
            so consented to without such consent.

      (d)   In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint
            liability in circumstances in which the indemnification provided in
            this Section 5 is due in any case in which either (i) any Seller
            exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling person of
            such Seller, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this
            Section 5 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final
            judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the
            expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of
            appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case
            notwithstanding the fact that this Section 5 provides for
            indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the
            Securities Act may be required on the part of such Seller or any
            controlling person thereof in circumstances for which
            indemnification is provided under this Section 5; then, and in each
            such case, the Corporation and such Seller will contribute to the
            aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may
            be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so
            that such Seller is responsible for the portion represented by the
            percentage that the public offering price of its Registrable Stock
            offered by the Registration Statement bears to the public offering
            price of all securities offered by such Registration Statement, and
            the Corporation is responsible for the remaining portion; provided,
            however, that, in any such case, (A) such Seller will not be
            required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering
            price of all such Registrable Stock offered by it pursuant to such
            Registration Statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of
            fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
            the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person
            or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
            Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of
            notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against
            such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made
            against another party or parties under this Section 5, notify such
            party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the
            omission so to notify such party or parties from whom contribution
            may be sought shall not relieve such party from any other obligation
            it or they may have thereunder or otherwise under this Section 5. No
            party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action,
            suit, proceeding or claim settled without its prior written consent.

      (e)   The obligations of the Corporation and each Seller under this
            Section 5 shall survive the completion of any offering of
            Registrable Stock under a Registration Statement whether under this
            Agreement or otherwise.

6.    RULE 144 REPORTING

      With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and
regulations of the SEC which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable
Stock to the public without registration, at all times after 90 days after any
Registration Statement covering a public offering of securities of the
Corporation under the Securities Act shall have become effective, the
Corporation agrees to:

      (a)   use its best efforts to make and keep public information available,
            as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the
            Securities Act;

      (b)   use its best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all
            reports and other documents required of the Corporation under the
            Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

      (c)   furnish to each holder of Registrable Stock forthwith upon request a
            written statement by the Corporation as to its compliance with the
            reporting requirements of such Rule 144 and of the Securities Act
            and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
            report of the Corporation, and such other reports and documents so
            filed by the Corporation as such holder may reasonably request in
            availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing such
            holder to sell any Registrable Stock without registration.

7.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE CORPORATION

      The Corporation represents and warrants to each Seller as follows:

      (a)   the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the
            Corporation have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate
            action and will not violate any provision of law, any order of any
            court or other agency of government, the organization documents of
            the Corporation or any provision of any indenture, agreement or
            other instrument to which it or any or its properties or assets is
            bound, conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due
            notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any such indenture,
            agreement or other instrument or result in the creation or
            imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature
            whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets of the Corporation;
            and

      (b)   this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
            Corporation and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation
            of the Corporation, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
            subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
            moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
            generally.

8.    RESTRICTIONS ON SALES OF COMMON STOCK

      (a)   Before any Canadian Seller sells any shares of Common Stock pursuant
            to an effective Registration Statement, such Canadian Seller shall
            inquire of the Corporation whether any event as described in Section
            3(b)(vii) has occurred, and if informed that such an event has
            occurred such Seller shall refrain from selling any shares of Common
            Stock until the Corporation notifies such Canadian Seller that the
            Prospectus may be used. The Corporation shall respond promptly (and
            in any event within two Business Days after the date on which such
            Canadian Seller inquiry is made) to any Canadian Seller inquiry
            under this Section 8(a), and such response shall clearly indicate
            whether any such event has occurred.

                                       11

      (b)   If the sale of Common  Stock is not  prohibited  by Section  8(a),
            then each  Canadian  Seller  may sell  shares of Common  Stock but
            shall  limit  such sales  pursuant  to an  effective  Registration
            Statement  in any  calendar  quarter  to the  greater  of (i)  the
            number of shares the sale of which is  necessary to pay the income
            tax liability of such Canadian  Seller  resulting from the receipt
            of Common Stock,  and (ii) one percent (1%) of the total number of
            shares the  Corporation  then has outstanding as shown by the most
            recent report or statement published by the Corporation.

9.    MISCELLANEOUS

      (a)   All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on
            behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the
            benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties
            hereto (including without limitation transferees of any Registrable
            Stock), whether so expressed or not, provided, however, that
            registration rights conferred herein shall only inure to the benefit
            of a transferee of Registrable Stock (and transferees of such
            transferees) if there is transferred to such transferee at least
            fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Stock held by any Canadian
            Seller on the date hereof. Each permitted transferee of Registrable
            Stock shall execute a counterpart of and become a party to this
            Agreement and shall be deemed to be a "Canadian Seller" for all
            purposes. Each of the parties hereto agrees to any transfer of a
            Canadian Seller's rights hereunder in accordance with this Section
            9(a).

      (b)   All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder

                  any Canadian Seller) or to any Seller (in the case of the
                  Corporation) in accordance with the provisions of this
                  paragraph.

            Any demand, notice or other communication made or given by courier

      (c)   This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
            the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of
            law provisions. Each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive
            jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York with respect to
            any matter arising hereunder or related hereto. The parties hereto
            agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
            this Agreement may be instituted in the courts of the State of New
            York, waives any objection which it may have now or hereafter to the
            venue of any such action or proceeding, irrevocably submits to the
            jurisdiction of the said courts in any such action or proceeding,
            agrees to be bound by any judgment of the said courts and not to
            seek, and hereby waives, any review of the merits of any such
            judgment by the courts of any other jurisdiction.

      (d)   This Agreement may not be amended or modified without the written
            consent of the parties hereto.

<PAGE>
                                       13

      (e)   Each Seller shall not have any right to take any action (or to
            withhold any action required herein) to restrain, enjoin, hinder or
            delay any registration under the Securities Act as the result of any
            disagreement that may result over the interpretation of this
            Agreement, and each party hereto agrees not to do so.

      (f)   This Agreement may be executed counterparts and/or by facsimile,
            each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together
            shall constitute one and the same instrument.

      (g)   If requested in writing by the underwriters for the initial
            firm-commitment underwritten public offering of securities of the
            Corporation, each Seller shall agree not to sell publicly any shares
            of Registrable Stock (other than shares of Registrable Stock being
            registered or qualified in such offering), without the consent of
            such underwriters, for a period of not more than 120 days following
            the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such
            offering; provided, however, that: (i) all persons entitled to
            registration rights with respect to Common Shares who are not
            parties to this Agreement, all other persons selling Common Shares
            in such offering, all persons holding in excess of 1% of the capital
            stock of the Corporation on a fully diluted basis and all executive
            officers and directors of the Corporation shall also have agreed not
            to sell publicly their Common Shares under the circumstances and
            pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 9(g); and (ii) such
            agreement shall only apply to the first Registration Statement
            covering Common Shares of the Corporation to be sold on its behalf
            to the public in an underwritten offering. Notwithstanding the
            foregoing, any agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 9(g)
            must permit the transfer by each Seller to: (i) a partner, member,
            Family Member or affiliate of such Seller, or such partner's partner
            or member's partner or member; (ii) a fund, limited partnership, or
            legal entity that is managed or controlled by, is under common
            control with, or whose manager or general partner, as applicable, is
            the same as or is an affiliate of the manager or general partner of
            such Seller; or (iii) to any person who would be a transferee of the
            holder permitted under the Shareholders' Agreement, so long as, in
            each such case, such transferee also agrees to enter into and be
            bound by a lock-up agreement pursuant to this Section 9(g). (h) In
            addition to any and all other remedies that may be available at law
            in the event of any breach of this Agreement, each party shall be
            entitled to specific performance of the agreements and obligations
            of the other parties hereunder and to such other injunctive or other
            equitable relief as may be granted by a court of competent
            jurisdiction.

      (i)   If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal,
            invalid or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or
            unenforceability shall attach only to such provision and shall not
            in any manner affect or render illegal, invalid or unenforceable any
            other provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be
            carried out as if any such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
            provision were not contained herein.

in the Barnabus Disclosure Letter if the Barnabus Disclosure Letter were dated
the date of the occurrence or discovery of any such fact or condition, Barnabus

                  any provision of this Agreement has been committed by the
                  other party and such Breach has not been waived (provided,
                  however, that any Breach by any of the Sellers shall not

                  (other than through the failure of Barnabus or Buyer to comply
                  with its obligations under this Agreement) and Barnabus has
                  not waived such condition on or before the Merger Closing
                  Date; or

                        (ii) by the Company, if any of the conditions in Section
                  8 have not been satisfied as of the Merger Closing Date or if

                  (other than through the failure of the Company or the Sellers
                  to comply with their obligations under this Agreement) and the
                  Company has not waived such condition on or before the Merger
                  Closing Date;

            (c)    by mutual consent of the Company and Barnabus; or

            (d)    by either  Barnabus  or the  Company if the Merger  Closing
                   has not  occurred  (other  than  through the failure of any
                   party seeking to terminate  this  Agreement to comply fully
                   with  its  obligations  under  this  Agreement)  (provided,

      Each party's right of termination under Section 9.1 is in addition to any
other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of
a right of termination will not be an election of remedies. If this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, all further obligations of the parties under
this Agreement will terminate, except that the obligations in Sections 11.1 and
11.3 will survive; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated by a
party because of the Breach of the Agreement by the other party or because one
or more of the conditions to the terminating party's obligations under this
Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the other party's failure to comply
with its obligations under this Agreement, the terminating party's right to
pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired.

      10.4  INDEMNITY LIMITATIONS

            10.4.1      Time of Claim.

                  If the Closing occurs, the parties responsible for
            indemnification under sections 10.2 and 10.3 (individually an
            "Indemnifying Party" or collectively, the "Indemnifying Parties")
            will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) for any
            claims, whether or not involving a third-party claim, which, but for
            the passage of time could have been processed as an indemnity claim,
            unless on or before one (1) year after the Merger Closing Date, the
            Indemnified Person or Indemnified Seller (individually an
            "Indemnified Party" or collectively, the "Indemnified Parties")
            notifies the Indemnifying Party of a claim specifying the factual
            basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by
            the claimant.

            10.4.2      Principal Seller Indemnity Amount and Payment.

                  The liability of the Principal Seller to provide indemnity
            under this Agreement is limited to an amount equal to the value of
            the General Holdback Stock at the Merger Closing Date. Thirty days
            after the final determination of the right to and amount of each
            indemnity claim, if the claim has not been paid in full in cash or
            other good funds, Barnabus may transfer from the General Holdback
            Account the number of shares equal in value to the amount of the
            claim. The number of shares to be transferred shall be determined by
            dividing the amount of the claim by the higher of the per share
            value of the General Holdback Stock on the Merger Closing Date or
            the per share closing bid value of Barnabus common stock on the date
            of the final determination (or if not a trading day, the next
            preceding trading day). If the claim is paid in full within thirty
            days after the final determination, the number of shares which would
            have been transferable to satisfy the claim shall be released from
            the General Holdback Account to the Principal Seller.

            10.4.3      Barnabus and Buyer Indemnity Amount and Payment.

                  The liability of Barnabus and Buyer to provide indemnity under
            this Agreement is limited to an amount equal to the value of the
            General Holdback Stock at the Merger Closing Date. Within thirty
            days after the final determination of the right to and amount of
            each indemnity claim, Barnabus shall either pay the claim in full in
            cash or other good funds, or transfer to the Indemnified Seller the
            number of shares equal in value to the amount of the claim. The
            number of shares to be transferred shall be determined by dividing
            the amount of the claim by the higher of the per share value of the
            General Holdback Stock on the Merger Closing Date or the per share
            closing bid value of Barnabus common stock on the date of the final
            determination (or if not a trading day, the next preceding trading
            day).

            10.4.4      Deductible

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be a deductible of
            $50,000 with respect to the Indemnifying Party's indemnification
            obligations. Unless said deductible is exceeded, the Indemnifying
            Party shall have no indemnification obligation hereunder and if said
            deductible is exceeded, the Indemnifying Party shall only be
            responsible for that amount which exceeds the $50,000 deductible.

            10.4.5      Exclusive Remedy

                  The remedies provided in this Section 10 are the exclusive
            remedies available to the Indemnified Parties for any claim which,
            but for the passage of time could have been processed as an
            indemnity claim.

      10.5  PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION -- THIRD PARTY CLAIMS

            10.5.1 Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of
                   the commencement of any Proceeding against it, such
                   Indemnified Party will, if a claim is to be made against an
                   Indemnifying Party under such Section, give notice to the
                   Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such Proceeding and
                   the claim for indemnity, but the failure to notify the
                   Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of
                   any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party,
                   except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates
                   that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the
                   Indemnifying Party's failure to give such notice.

            10.5.2 If any Proceeding referred to in Section 10.5.1 is brought
                   against an Indemnified Party and it gives notice to the
                   Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such Proceeding,
                   the Indemnifying Party will, unless the claim involves Taxes,
                   be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the
                   extent that it wishes (unless (i) the Indemnifying Party is
                   also a party to such Proceeding and the Indemnified Party
                   determines in good faith that joint representation would be
                   inappropriate, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to
                   provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of its
                   financial capacity to defend such Proceeding and provide
                   indemnification with respect to such Proceeding), to assume
                   the defense of such Proceeding with counsel satisfactory to
                   the Indemnified Party and, after notice from the Indemnifying
                   Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the
                   defense of such Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will not,
                   as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to
                   the Indemnified Party under this Section 10 for any fees of
                   other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the
                   defense of such Proceeding, in each case subsequently
                   incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the
                   defense of such Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of

                                       46

                   investigation. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense
                   of a Proceeding, (i) it will be conclusively established for
                   purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that
                   Proceeding are within the scope of and subject to
                   indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such
                   claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the
                   Indemnified Party's consent (which consent shall not be
                   unreasonably withheld) unless (A) there is no finding or
                   admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any
                   violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any
                   other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party,
                   and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are
                   paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (iii) the
                   Indemnified Party will have no liability with respect to any
                   compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its
                   consent. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Party of the
                   commencement of any Proceeding and the Indemnifying Party
                   does not, within ten days after the Indemnified Party's
                   notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Party of its
                   election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the
                   Indemnifying Party will be bound by any determination made in
                   such Proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by
                   the Indemnified Party.

            10.5.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party
                   determines in good faith that there is a reasonable
                   probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it or its
                   affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for
                   which it would be entitled to indemnification under this
                   Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the
                   Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend,
                   compromise, or settle such Proceeding, but the Indemnifying
                   Party will not be bound by any determination of a Proceeding
                   so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without
                   its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).

            10.5.4 Indemnified Parties hereby consent to the non-exclusive
                   jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding is brought
                   against any Indemnified Party for purposes of any claim that
                   an Indemnified Party may have under this Agreement with
                   respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein,
                   and agree that process may be served on Indemnifying Party
                   with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.

<PAGE>
                                       47

            10.5.5 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.5, the
                   Indemnified Party must give written notice of its claim for
                   indemnification for the third party claim to the Indemnifying
                   Party within one year following the Merger Closing Date. The
                   notice of indemnity claim shall specify in reasonable detail
                   each individual item of damage, loss, or expense included in
                   the aggregate amount stated, the date each item was paid or
                   properly accrued or the basis for any anticipated liability,
                   and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty,
                   or claim to which each item is related. The Indemnifying
                   Party shall have 30 days after delivery of the notice of
                   Indemnity Claim to object in writing to the claim. Notice of
                   objection shall be given within the thirty-day period. If no
                   notice of objection is given, the thirty-first day after the
                   notice of claim shall be deemed to be the date of the final
                   determination of the right to indemnity.

      10.6  PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION -- OTHER CLAIMS

            10.6.1            A claim for  indemnification  for any matter not
                        involving a third-party  claim may be asserted  within
                        one year  following the Merger Closing Date by written
                        notice  to  the  Indemnifying  Party.  The  notice  of
                        indemnity  claim shall  specify in  reasonable  detail
                        each  individual  item of  damage,  loss,  or  expense
                        included  in the  aggregate  amount  stated,  the date
                        each item was paid or  properly  accrued  or the basis
                        for any anticipated  liability,  and the nature of the
                        misrepresentation,  breach  of  warranty,  or claim to
                        which each item is related.

            10.6.2            The Indemnifying  Party shall have 30 days after
                        delivery  of the notice of  Indemnity  Claim to object
                        in  writing to the claim.  Notice of  objection  shall
                        be given within the  thirty-day  period.  If no notice
                        of objection is given,  the thirty-first day after the
                        notice of claim  shall be deemed to be the date of the
                        final  determination of the right to and amount of the
                        indemnity  claim  and it shall  be paid in  accordance
                        with the provisions of Section 10.4.

      10.7  DISPUTE RESOLUTION - INDEMNITY CLAIMS

            10.7.1            If  the  Indemnifying   Party  has  objected  in
                        writing  to  any  indemnity  claim  made  pursuant  to
                        Section 10.5,  10.6 or in any other manner,  Principal
                        Seller  and  Barnabus  will  attempt  in good faith to
                        agree  on  the  rights  of  the   respective   parties
                        regarding  each  disputed  indemnity  claim.  If  they
                        agree,  a memorandum  setting forth the agreement will
                        be  prepared  and signed by both  parties  and payment
                        will be made in accordance with the memorandum.

<PAGE>
                                       48

            10.7.2            If no such  agreement  can be reached after good
                        faith  negotiation,  either Buyer or Shareholder Agent
                        may  demand  arbitration  of the  matter;  and in such
                        event the  American  Arbitration  Association  will be
                        asked  to  appoint  one  arbitrator  to  rule  on  the
                        matter,  such appointment to be in accordance with the
                        Commercial   Arbitration   Rules   of   the   American
                        Arbitration  Association  then  in  effect.  Any  such
                        arbitration   will  be  held  in  San  Diego   County,
                        California,   under   the   rules   of  the   American
                        Arbitration  Association then in effect.  The decision
                        of the arbitrator  about the validity of any indemnity
                        claim  will  be   binding   and   conclusive   on  the
                        Indemnifying  Parties and the  Indemnified  Parties to
                        the agreement;  and payments, if any due, will be made
                        in  accordance  with Section  10.4.  Each party to the
                        arbitration will pay its own expenses,  and the fee of
                        the  arbitrator  and  the  administrative  fee  of the
                        American  Arbitration  Association  will be  paid  one
                        half  by   Indemnifying   Party   and   one   half  by
                        Indemnified  Party.  Judgment on any award rendered by
                        the  arbitrator  may be  entered  in any court  having
                        jurisdiction over the matter.

      Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on
any right arising out of, this Agreement may be brought against any of the
parties in the courts of the State of California, County of San Diego, or, if it
has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of California, and each of the parties consents to the
jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any
such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein.
Process in any action or proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence may be
served on any party anywhere in the world.

      11.6  FURTHER ASSURANCES

      The parties agree (a) to furnish upon request to each other such further
information, (b) to execute and deliver to each other such other documents, and
(c) to do such other acts and things, all as the other party may reasonably
request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the
documents referred to in this Agreement.

      11.7  WAIVER

      The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative
and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any party in
exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or the documents
referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or
privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or
privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or
privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of
this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged
by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or
right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be
given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it
is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a
waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such
notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in
this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

      11.8  ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND MODIFICATION

      This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements between the parties with
respect to its subject matter and constitutes (along with the documents referred
to in this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the
agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement
may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by the party to be
charged with the amendment.

      11.9  DISCLOSURE LETTER

            (a)    The disclosure in the Disclosure Letter, and those in any
                   Supplement thereto, must relate only to the representations
                   and warranties in the Section of the Agreement to which they
                   expressly relate and not to any other representation or
                   warranty in this Agreement.

            (b)    In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in
                   the body of this Agreement and those in the Disclosure Letter
                   (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the
                   Disclosure Letter with respect to a specifically identified
                   representation or warranty), the statements in the body of
                   this Agreement will control.

      11.10 ASSIGNMENTS, SUCCESSORS, AND NO THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS

      Neither Barnabus nor Principal Seller may assign any of their rights under
this Agreement without the prior consent of the other parties, which will not be
unreasonably withheld, except that Barnabus may assign any of its rights under
this Agreement to any Subsidiary of Barnabus. Subject to the preceding sentence,
this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the
benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing
expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person
other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy,
or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this
Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the
sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their successors
and assigns.

      11.11 SEVERABILITY

      If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any
court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will
remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or
unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the
extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

      11.12 SECTION HEADINGS, CONSTRUCTION

      The headings of Sections in this Agreement are provided for convenience
only and will not affect its construction or interpretation. All references to
"Section" or "Sections" refer to the corresponding Section or Sections of this
Agreement. All words used in this Agreement will be construed to be of such

Agreement, time is of the essence.
