        corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each state or
        other jurisdiction in which either the ownership or use of the
        properties owned or used by it, or the nature of the activities
        conducted by it, requires such qualification and in which the failure to
        be so qualified would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Buyer's
        ability to conduct the Company's business following the Closing, with
        such jurisdictions listed on SCHEDULE 3.1.

                (b)     Sellers have delivered to Buyer copies of the
        Organizational Documents of the Company, as currently in effect.

                (a)     Subject to the Petro Franchise Consents (as such term is
        defined in Section 5.4), this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid,
        and binding obligation of Sellers, enforceable against Sellers in
        accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited
        by laws regarding bankruptcy, insolvency and other creditors' rights,
        and by principles of equity. Upon the execution and delivery by the
        applicable Sellers of the Sellers' Releases and the Noncompetition

        may be limited by laws regarding bankruptcy, insolvency and other
        creditors' rights, and by principles of equity. Sellers have the
        absolute and unrestricted right, power, authority, and capacity to
        execute and

                                       3

        their obligations under this Agreement and the Sellers' Closing
        Documents.

                (b)     Subject to the Petro Franchise Consents (as such term is
        defined in Section 5.4), except as set forth in SCHEDULE 3.2, neither

                exercise any remedy or obtain any relief under, any Legal
                Requirement or any Order to which the Company or any Seller, or
                any of the assets owned or used by the Company, may be subject;

                        (iii)   contravene, conflict with, or result in a

                        (iv)    cause Buyer or the Company to become subject to,
                or to become liable for the payment of, any Tax;

                Governmental Body;

                        (vi)    contravene, conflict with, or result in a
                violation or breach of any provision of, or give any Person the
                right to declare a default or exercise any remedy under, or to
                accelerate the maturity or performance of, or to cancel,
                terminate, or modify, any Applicable Contract; or

                        (vii)   result in the imposition or creation of any
                Encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the assets owned or

                (c)     Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 3.2, neither Seller nor

        Consent from any Person in connection with the execution and delivery of

        Taxes on the respective books of the Company are adequate (determined in
        accordance with GAAP) and are at least equal to the Company's liability
        for Taxes. There exists no proposed tax assessment against the Company

        duties as an employee or director of the Company, or (ii) the ability of
        the Company to conduct its business, including any Proprietary Rights

                (a)     All material employee benefit plans, contracts or
        arrangements to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is
        bound, including without limitation all

        survivor's benefit, health insurance, sickness, disability, medical,

        Each of the Company Benefit Plans which is an "employee pension benefit
        plan" as defined in Section 3(2) of the Employee Retirement Income
        Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"); each such Plan being herein
        called a "COMPANY PENSION PLAN") is intended to be exempt from tax under

        the knowledge of the Sellers or Company) in material compliance with all
        applicable provisions of the IRC and ERISA. No transaction has occurred

        Company to a tax, penalty, or liability for "prohibited transactions"
        (as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the IRC or in ERISA) There
        have been no material breaches of fiduciary duty by any fiduciary under

        ERISA, and no claim is pending or threatened with respect to any Company
        Benefit Plan other than claims for benefits made in the Ordinary Course
        of Business. The Company has not incurred any material penalty imposed
        by the IRC or by ERISA with respect to the Company Pension Plans or any
        other Company Benefit Plan. No Company Benefit Plan is currently under
        audit by the Department of Labor or the IRS and, to the Knowledge of the
        Sellers or Company, no such action is contemplated or under
        consideration.

                (a)     The Company is not a party to or bound by any collective
        bargaining agreement. The Company enjoys good working relationships with
        its employees, and there are no labor disputes pending, or to the
        Knowledge of the Company, Threatened, that might materially and
        adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise), assets,
        liabilities, business, operations or prosperity of the Company. Except
        as disclosed in Schedule 3.13, the Company has no employment contract,
        severance agreement, deferred compensation agreement, consulting
        agreement or similar obligation (including the amendments and agreement
        referred to below, an "EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATION") with any director,
        officer, employee, agent or consultant. Except as disclosed in Schedule
        3.13, as of the Closing Date, the Company will have no liability for
        employee termination rights arising out of any Employment Obligation.

                (b)     No payment that is owed or may become due to any
        director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company will be
        non-deductible to the Company or subject to tax under IRC ss. 280G or
        ss. 4999; nor will the Company be required to "gross up" or otherwise
        compensate any such person because of the imposition of any excise tax
        on a payment to such person.

                (c)     Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 3.13, the consummation
        of the Contemplated Transactions will not result in the payment,
        vesting, or acceleration of any benefit.

        3.24 DISCLOSURE. Neither this Agreement, nor any financial statement,

        3.25 INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. Each Seller severally and not jointly
represents and warrants that:

                (a)     INVESTMENT PURPOSE. Each Seller is acquiring the Able
        Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view
        towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or
        distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted
        under the 1933 Act.

                                       17
<PAGE>

                (b)     ACCREDITED INVESTOR STATUS. Each Seller is an
        "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of
        Regulation D.

                (c)     RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS. Each Seller understands that the
        Able Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific
        exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal
        and state securities laws and that the Buyer is relying in part upon the
        truth and accuracy of, and each Seller's compliance with, the
        representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and
        understandings of each Seller set forth herein in order to determine the
        availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of each Seller to
        acquire the Able Shares.

                (d)     INFORMATION. Each Seller and its advisors, if any, have
        been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and
        operations of the Buyer and materials relating to the offer and sale of
        the Able Shares, which have been requested by such Seller. Each Seller
        and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask
        questions of the Buyer. Neither such inquiries nor any other due
        diligence investigations conducted by such Seller or its advisors, if
        any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect the Seller's
        right to rely on the Buyer's representations and warranties contained
        herein. Each Seller understands that its investment in the Able Shares
        involves a high degree of risk. Each Seller has sought such accounting,
        legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed
        investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Able Shares.

                (e)     NO GOVERNMENTAL REVIEW. Each Seller understands that no
        United States federal or state agency or any other government or
        governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or
        endorsement of the Able Shares or the fairness or suitability of the
        investment in the Able Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or
        endorsed the merits of the offering of the Able Shares.

                (f)     TRANSFER OR RESALE. Each Seller understands that: (i)
        the Able Shares have not been and are not being registered under the
        1933 Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale,
        sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered
        thereunder, (B) such Seller shall have delivered to the Buyer an opinion
        of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such Able
        Shares to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or
        transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) such
        Seller provides the Buyer with reasonable assurance that such Able
        Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144
        promulgated under the 1933 Act, as amended, (or a successor rule
        thereto) ("Rule 144"); (ii) any sale of the Able Shares made in reliance
        on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144
        and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Able
        Shares under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through
        whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term
        is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other
        exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC
        thereunder; and (iii) neither the Buyer nor any other person is under
        any obligation to register the Able Shares for resale under the 1933 Act
        or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions
        of any resale exemption thereunder.

<PAGE>

                (g)     LEGENDS. Each Seller understands that the certificates
        or other instruments representing the Able Shares, until such time as
        the sale of the Able Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act,
        shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and
        a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock
        certificates):

        THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
        UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE
        SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD,
        TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE
        REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
        1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (B) AN OPINION
        OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT
        REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (II)
        UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.

        The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Buyer shall issue a
certificate without such legend to the holder of the Able Shares upon which it
is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) such
Able Shares are registered for sale under the 1933 Act, (ii) in connection with
a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides the Buyer with an
opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such
sale, assignment or transfer of the Able Shares may be made without registration
under the 1933 Act, or (iii) such holder provides the Buyer with reasonable
assurance that the Able Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to
Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a
particular date that can then be immediately sold.

                (h)     VALIDITY; ENFORCEMENT. This Agreement has been duly and
        validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Seller and
        is a valid and binding agreement of such Seller enforceable against such
        Seller in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforceability to
        general principles of equity and to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
        reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating
        to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors'
        rights and remedies.

                (b)     Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 4.2, neither the
        execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer nor the consummation

                contemplating.

                (c)     Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 4.2, Buyer is not and
        will not be required to obtain any Consent from any Person in connection
        with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation or
        performance of any of the Contemplated Transactions.

and not with a view to their distribution within the meaning of Section 2(11) of
the Securities Act.

        4.4 CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS. There is no pending Proceeding that has been
commenced against Buyer and that challenges, or may have the effect of

terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(a) or 9.1(b) as a result of a Breach (it
being understood that a failure of a condition shall not be considered a Breach

or other obligations, under this Agreement), this Agreement will terminate,
except that sections 12.1 and 12.3 will survive.

                      ARTICLE X. INDEMNIFICATION; REMEDIES

        10.1 SURVIVAL. All representations, warranties, covenants, and

9.1(a) and, if applicable, to receive the compensation as described in Section
9(2). The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or
warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or
obligation, will bar any right to indemnification, payment of

                                       28
<PAGE>

Damages, or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants,
and obligations.

        10.2 INDEMNIFICATION AND PAYMENT OF DAMAGES BY SELLERS

        Subject to the limitations of Sections 10.1, 10.4 and 10.5, if the
Closing has occurred, Sellers jointly, in proportion to their percentage
ownership in the Company, will indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, the Company,
and their respective consolidated corporate parents and subsidiaries
(collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED PERSONS") for, and will pay to the Indemnified
Persons the amount of, any loss, liability, claim, damage (including incidental
and consequential damages), expense (including costs of investigation and
defense and reasonable, documented attorneys' fees of outside counsel) whether
or not involving a third-party claim (collectively, "DAMAGES"), arising,
directly or indirectly, from or in connection with: (a) any Breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Sellers in this Agreement;
or (b) any claim by any Person for brokerage or finder's fees or commissions or
similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been
made by any such Person with either Seller or the Company (or any Person acting
on their behalf) in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions.

        10.3 INDEMNIFICATION AND PAYMENT OF DAMAGES BY BUYER. Subject to the
limitations of Sections 10.1, 10.4 and 10.5, Buyer will indemnify and hold

arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with (a) any Breach of
any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Buyer in this Agreement,
or in any certificate delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, or (b) any
claim by any Person for brokerage or finder's fees or commissions or similar
payments based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by
such Person with Buyer (or any Person acting on its behalf) in connection with
any of the Contemplated Transactions.

        10.4 LIMITATIONS. If the Closing occurs, Sellers will have no liability
(for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any representation or
warranty, unless on or before the date which is two years from the Closing Date
(or, in the case of 3.9, three years from the Closing Date), Buyer notifies
Sellers of a claim specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable
detail to the extent then known by Buyer. A claim pursuant to 3.3(a) (a "CLAIM")
or a claim with respect to Section 3.10, shall be made no more than six (6)
months after Buyer obtains Knowledge of the same, but in no event after the
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

        10.5 LIMITATIONS ON AMOUNT--SELLERS.

                (a)     Sellers will have no liability (for indemnification or
        otherwise) with respect to the matters described in Section 10.2 until
        the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds 1% of the
        Purchase Price and then only for the amount by which such Damages exceed
        such amount.

                (b)     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or
        any other document, the maximum aggregate liability of the Sellers under
        this Agreement shall be fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the
        Purchase Price.

                (c)     Sellers' liability hereunder shall be further reduced to
        the extent (i) the loss, event, liability or matter giving rise thereto
        is covered by insurance maintained or required to be maintained by the
        Company or the Buyer; (ii) the loss, event, liability or matter giving
        rise thereto is reimbursable through government programs, including but
        not limited to USTIF; and (iii) the loss, event, liability or matter
        giving rise thereto provides the Buyer or the Company with any reduction
        in taxes or other operating costs or any other economic benefit.

        10.6 LIMITATIONS ON AMOUNT--BUYER.

                (a)     Buyer will have no liability (for indemnification or
        otherwise) with respect to the matters described in clause of Section
        10.3 until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds
        1% of the Purchase Price, and then only for the amount by which such
        Damages exceed such amount. However, this Section 10.6 will not apply to
        any claim against Buyer based on failure to pay the Purchase Price.

                (b)     The maximum liability of Buyer under this Section 10
        shall be fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the Purchase Price paid by
        Buyer.

        10.7 PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION--THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.

                (a)     Promptly after receipt by a party of notice of the
        commencement of any Proceeding against it against which that party is
        entitled to indemnity under Sections 10.2 or 10.3, such indemnified
        party will, if it intends to make a claim against an indemnifying party
        under such Section, give notice to the indemnifying party of the
        commencement of such claim within 30 (thirty) days of receipt of notice,
        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. The indemnified party shall keep
        the indemnifying party informed with respect to any significant
        developments with respect to such Proceeding, answer any questions the
        indemnifying party or its or their representatives may have from time to
        time with respect thereto and give all reasonable cooperation to the
        indemnifying necessary to investigate and defend such Proceeding.

                (b)     If any Proceeding referred to in subsection (a) of this
        Section is brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to
        the indemnifying party of the commencement of such Proceeding, the
        indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in such Proceeding
        and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the indemnifying party is

                                       30
<PAGE>

        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 reasonably satisfactory to
        the indemnified party . 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 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 investigation. The indemnifying party may, however,
        assume the defense of a Proceeding while reserving expressly all rights
        to deny that the claims made in that Proceeding are within the scope of
        and subject to indemnification in which case (i) the indemnified party
        may participate in the defense thereof, at the expense of the
        indemnifying party using counsel of the indemnified party's choosing,
        (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the
        indemnifying party without the indemnified party's consent 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.

                (c)     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.

                (d)     Section 12.5 hereof shall govern jurisdiction over
        disputes under this Article 10.

        10.8 PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION--OTHER CLAIMS. A claim for
indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted
by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.

        10.9 EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. If Closing occurs, a claim for Indemnifiable
Damages pursuant to this Article shall be the indemnified party's sole and
exclusive remedy with respect to any Breach of representation or warranty, or
covenant in this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document regardless whether
such claim arises in contract, tort, breach of warranty

                                       31
<PAGE>

or any other legal or equitable theory; provided that the rights and limitations
of this Article 10 shall not apply to any claim for failure to pay the Purchase
Price or for breach of any affirmative or negative covenant under this or any
other agreement related hereto that occurs after Closing, and the parties shall
retain all rights and remedies available hereunder or under applicable law for
such breach, subject to any express limits on such remedies contained in the
applicable agreement. Buyer shall be entitled to exercise its rights of set-off
set forth in Section 10.7 with respect thereto as provided in that section.

                       ARTICLE XI. POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

        11.1 COOPERATION. The parties will cooperate with and provide such
further assurances to each other as are reasonably necessary or requested to
perfect (of record or otherwise) and effectively vest the Buyer's title to the
Shares, aid in the prosecution, defense, or other action regarding litigation of
any rights arising from or affecting title to the Shares, and assist in making a
smooth transition in ownership of the Shares from the Sellers to the Buyer at
each party's own expense. The Sellers, upon reasonable notice, shall be
permitted to have access to the records transferred to the Buyer as provided in
this Agreement at no charge to the Sellers.

        11.2 TREATMENT OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

                (a)     Each of the Sellers acknowledges that he or she has or
        may have had in the past, and in the future may have, access to
        confidential information of the Company, and Buyer. Each of Sellers
        agree that he or she will keep confidential all such confidential
        information and, except with the specific prior written consent of the
        Buyer, will not disclose such confidential information to any person
        except; (i) representatives of the Buyer, or (ii) its own
        representatives, provided that such representatives (other than counsel)
        agree to the confidentiality provisions of this Section. Confidential
        information shall not include (A) such information that becomes known to
        the public generally through no fault of the Sellers, (B) information
        required to be disclosed by the terms of this Agreement or by law or the
        order of any governmental authority under color of law, provided that
        prior to disclosing any information pursuant to this clause (B), Sellers
        shall, if possible, give prior written notice thereof to the Buyer and
        provide the Buyer with the opportunity to contest such disclosure, or
        (C) such information that the disclosing party reasonably believes is
        required to be disclosed in connection with the defense of a lawsuit
        against the disclosing party. Because of the difficulty of measuring the
        economic loss that may be incurred as a result of the breach of the
        covenants above, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage
        that would be caused for which the injured party would have no other
        adequate remedy, Sellers agree that Buyer and/or the Company may enforce
        the provisions of this section by injunctions and restraining orders
        against any of them who breaches any of these provisions. Nothing herein
        shall be construed as prohibiting Buyer from pursuing any other remedy
        available at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach,
        including the recovery of damages, subject to the limitations of Article
        10.

                (b)     Because of the difficulty of measuring the economic loss
        that may be incurred as a result of the breach of the covenant above,
        and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused
        for which the injured party would have no

                                       32
<PAGE>

        other adequate remedy, Buyer agrees that Sellers may enforce the
        provisions of this section by specific performance.

                (c)     The obligations of the parties under this Section 11.2
        shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

        11.3 PREPARATION OF TAX RETURNS. Sellers agree to prepare and execute
applicable tax returns for the Company for any interim or stub period. Buyer
agrees not to amend or otherwise change any tax return for any period ending
prior to the Closing Date, or otherwise make any election or similar accounting
method change that would have the effect of retroactively increasing any
Seller's tax liability without obtaining prior written consent from Sellers
holding at least 90% of the outstanding stock immediately prior to Closing.

        11.4 EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS.

                (a)     From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall use its
        Best Efforts to retain a majority of the present full-time employees of
        the Company at such employee's current position (or, if offered to, and
        accepted by an employee, a position for which the employee is qualified
        with Buyer or a Subsidiary of Buyer at a salary commensurate with the
        position), and pay compensation to each person who was employed as of
        the Closing Date and who continues to be employed by the Company on or
        after the Closing Date (other than Sellers), that is at least equal to
        the aggregate compensation that such person was receiving from the
        Company prior to the Closing Date.

                (b)     For vesting and eligibility purposes for employee
        benefits under each Company Benefit Plan and/or any employee benefit
        plan established by Buyer after the Closing Date, employees and/or
        directors, former employees and directors, if applicable, of the Company
        shall receive credit for years of service with the Company.

        11.5 NO SECTION 338 ELECTION. Buyer shall not make an election under
Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any
applicable analogous provision of state or local law, in connection with the
Contemplated Transactions.

                        ARTICLE XII. GENERAL PROVISIONS

        12.1 EXPENSES. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement
each party to this Agreement will bear its respective expenses incurred in
connection with the preparation, execution, and performance of this Agreement
and the Contemplated Transactions, including all fees and expenses of agents,
representatives, counsel, and accountants. For purposes of the foregoing,
Sellers' expenses shall include only those expenses incurred by Sellers after
March 30, 2005. In the event of termination of this Agreement, the obligation of
each party to pay its own expenses will be subject to any rights of such party
expressly provided herein arising from a breach of this Agreement by another
party.

        12.2 PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS; FILINGS. Any public announcement or similar
publicity with respect to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions will

Sellers in advance, Sellers and Buyer shall, and

                                       33
<PAGE>

        shall cause the Company to, keep this Agreement strictly confidential
        and may not make any disclosure of this Agreement to any Person. Sellers
        and Buyer will consult with each other concerning the means by which the
        Company's employees, customers, and suppliers and others having dealings
        with the Company will be informed of the Contemplated Transactions.

        12.3 CONFIDENTIALITY.

                (a)     Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement,
        between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Buyer and
        Sellers will maintain in confidence, and will cause the directors,
        officers, employees, agents, and advisors of Buyer and the Company to
        maintain in confidence any written, oral, or other information obtained
        in confidence from another party or the Company in connection with this
        Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions, unless (i) such information
        is already known to such party or to others not bound by a duty of
        confidentiality or such information becomes publicly available through
        no fault of such party, (ii) the use of such information is necessary or
        appropriate in making any filing or obtaining any consent or approval
        required for the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, or (iii)
        the furnishing or use of such information is required by or necessary or
        appropriate in connection with legal proceedings.

                (b)     If the Contemplated Transactions are not consummated,
        each party will return or destroy as much of such written information as
        the other party may reasonably request.

        12.4 NOTICES. All notices, consents, waivers, and other communications
under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly
given when (a) delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b)

remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative,
