Purchaser shall pay Stockholder [*] within ten (10) days following such
termination and Purchaser shall not have any further obligation with respect to
any Contingent Payment;

                    (B)  if Stockholder is terminated without Cause during the
last six (6) months of the Contingent Period, Purchaser shall pay Stockholder
within ten (10) days following such termination an amount calculated as follows

unaudited financial statements (balance sheet, statement of operations and
statement of cash flows) as at, and for the three-month period ended March 31,

Purchaser, Stockholder and Company each acknowledge that Purchaser relied on the
Net Tangible Assets Information in establishing the total consideration
Purchaser agreed to pay in connection with the Purchase and any inaccuracy in
the Net Tangible Assets Information would have led to a reduction in the total
consideration Purchaser agreed to pay to the extent such inaccuracy caused the
Company's net tangible assets at Closing to be less than the Company's net
tangible assets as of March 31, 2000, in each case as determined in accordance
with GAAP.

Balance Sheet Date in the ordinary course of business), or with respect to
leased properties and assets, valid leasehold interests in, free and clear of
all mortgages, liens, pledges, charges or encumbrances of any kind or character,

copyrights, and any applications for any of the foregoing, maskworks, net lists,
schematics, industrial models, inventions, technology, know-how, trade secrets,
inventory, ideas, algorithms, processes, computer software programs or
applications (in both source code and object code form), and tangible or
intangible proprietary information or material ("Intellectual Property") that
are used or proposed to be used in the business of the Company as currently
conducted or as proposed to be conducted by the Company except where the failure
to have such rights would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect on the Company.

               (b)  Section 4.13 of the Company Disclosure Schedule lists (i)
all patents and patent applications and all registered and unregistered
trademarks, trade names and service marks, registered and unregistered
copyrights, and maskworks, included in the Intellectual Property, including the
jurisdictions in which each such Intellectual Property right has been issued or
registered or in which any application for such issuance and registration has
been filed, (ii) all licenses, sublicenses and other agreements as to which the
Company is a party and pursuant to which any person is authorized to use any
Intellectual Property, and (iii) all licenses, sublicenses and other agreements

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

which the Company is authorized to use any third party patents, trademarks or
copyrights, including software ("Third Party Intellectual Property Rights")
which are incorporated in, are, or form a part of any product or service offered
by the Company. The Company is not in violation of any license, sublicense or
agreement described in Section 4.13 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, except
for such violations as will not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.
The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby, will neither cause the Company to be in
violation or default under any such license, sublicense or agreement, nor
entitle any other party to any such license, sublicense or agreement to
terminate or modify such license, sublicense or agreement. Except as set forth
in Section 4.13 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company is the sole and
exclusive owner or licensee of, with all right, title and interest in and to
(free and clear of any liens), the Intellectual Property, and has sole and
exclusive rights (and is not contractually obligated to pay any compensation to
any third party in respect thereof) to the use thereof or the material covered
thereby in connection with the services or products in respect of which
Intellectual Property is being used.

               (c)  To Company's and Stockholder's knowledge, there is no
unauthorized use, disclosure, infringement or misappropriation of any
Intellectual Property rights of the Company, any trade secret material to the
Company or any Intellectual Property right of any third party to the extent
licensed by or through the Company, by any third party, including any employee
or former employee of the Company. Except as set forth on Section 4.13(c) of the
Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company has not entered into any agreement to
indemnify any other person against any charge of infringement of any
Intellectual Property, other than indemnification provisions contained in
purchase orders arising in the ordinary course of business.

               (d)  The Company is not nor will it be as a result of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or the performance of its obligations
under this Agreement, in breach of any license, sublicense or other agreement
relating to the Intellectual Property or Third Party Intellectual Property
Rights.

               (e)  All patents, registered trademarks, registered service marks
and copyrights held by the Company are valid and existing and, to the Company's
and Stockholder's knowledge, there is no assertion or claim (or basis therefor)
challenging the validity of any Intellectual Property of the Company. The
Company has not been sued in any suit, action or proceeding which involves a
claim of infringement of any patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights or
violation of any trade secret or other proprietary right of any third party.
Neither the conduct of the business of the Company as currently conducted or
contemplated nor the manufacture, sale, licensing or use of any of the products
of the Company as now manufactured, sold or licensed or used, infringes on or
will infringe or conflict with, in any way, any license, trademark, trademark
right, trade name, trade name right, patent, patent right, industrial model,
invention, service mark or copyright of any third party, except where such
infringement or conflict would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect on the Company. The Company has not brought any action,
suit or proceeding for infringement of Intellectual Property or breach of any
license or agreement involving Intellectual Property against any third party.
There are no pending, or to the Company's and Stockholder's knowledge,
threatened interference, re-examinations, oppositions or nullities involving any

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

patents, patent rights or applications therefor of the Company, except such as
may have been commenced by the Company. There is no breach or violation of or,
to the Company's and Stockholder's knowledge, threatened or actual loss of
rights under any license agreement to which the Company is a party.

               (f)  Except as set forth on Section 4.13(f) of the Company
Disclosure Schedule, the Company has secured valid written assignments from all
consultants and employees who contributed to the creation or development of
Intellectual Property of the rights to such contributions that the Company does
not already own by operation of law, except where the failure to obtain such
assignments would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

               (g)  Except as set forth on Section 4.13(g) of the Company
Disclosure Schedule, the Company has taken all necessary and appropriate steps
that are commercially reasonable to protect and preserve the confidentiality of
all Intellectual Property not otherwise protected by patents, patent
applications or copyright ("Confidential Information"), except where the failure
to take such steps would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. The
Company has a policy requiring each employee, consultant and independent
contractor to execute proprietary information and confidentiality agreements
substantially in the Company's standard forms and all current and former
employees, consultants and independent contractors of the Company have executed
such an agreement. All use, disclosure or appropriation of Confidential
Information owned by the Company by or to a third party has been pursuant to the
terms of a written agreement between the Company and such third party, except
where such use, disclosure or appropriation would not have a Material Adverse
Effect on the Company.

an adequate accrual in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") for all liabilities for Taxes of the Company payable after the date of

respect to Taxes of the Company, and the Company has not received notice (either
in writing or orally, formally or informally) nor does it expect to receive

respective assets. No waiver or extension of any statute of limitations is in
effect with respect to Taxes or Returns of the Company. The Company has

the Code, (i) all employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(3) of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA")), (ii)
each loan to a non-officer employee in excess of $10,000, loans to officers and
directors and any stock option, stock purchase, phantom stock, stock

dental, vision care, disability, employee relocation, cafeteria benefit (Code
Section 125) or dependent care (Code Section 129), life insurance or accident
insurance plans, programs or arrangements, (iii) all contracts and agreements
relating to employment that provide for annual compensation in excess of
$100,000 and all severance agreements, with any of the directors, officers or
employees of Company or its Subsidiaries (other than, in each case, any such
contract or agreement that is terminable by the Company or its Subsidiary at
will or without penalty or other adverse consequence), (iv) all bonus, pension,
profit sharing, savings, deferred compensation or incentive plans, programs or
arrangements, (v) other fringe or employee benefit plans, programs or
arrangements that apply to senior management of Company or any Subsidiary and
that do not generally apply to all employees, and (vi) any current or former
employment or executive compensation or severance agreements, written or

greater than $10,000 remain for the benefit of, or relating to, any present or
former employee, consultant or director of Company or any Subsidiary (together,

               (b)  Company has furnished to Purchaser a copy of each of the
Company Employee Plans and related plan documents (including trust documents,
insurance policies or contracts, employee booklets, summary plan descriptions
and other authorizing documents, and, to the extent still in its possession, any
material employee communications relating thereto) and has, with respect to each
Company Employee Plan which is subject to ERISA reporting requirements, provided
copies of the Form 5500 reports filed for the last three plan years. Any Company
Employee Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has
either obtained from the Internal Revenue Service an opinion letter or favorable
determination letter as to its initial qualified status under the Code,
including all amendments to the Code effected by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and
subsequent legislation; may rely on an opinion letter issued to a prototype plan
sponsor with respect to a standardized plan adopted by Company in accordance
with the requirements for such reliance; or has applied to the Internal Revenue
Service for such a determination letter (or has time remaining to apply for such
a determination letter) prior to the expiration of the requisite period under
applicable Treasury Regulations or Internal Revenue

<PAGE>

Service pronouncements in which to apply for such determination letter and to
make any amendments necessary to obtain a favorable determination with respect
to all periods since the date of adoption of such Company Employee Plan. Company
has also furnished Purchaser with the most recent Internal Revenue Service
determination letter issued with respect to each such Company Employee Plan, and
nothing has occurred since the issuance of each such letter which could
reasonably be expected to cause the loss of the tax-qualified status of any
Company Employee Plan subject to Code Section 401(a).

               (c)  Except as set forth in Section 4.16(c) of the Company
Disclosure Schedule, (i) none of the Company Employee Plans promises or provides

transaction," as such term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975

expected to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) each
Company Employee Plan has been administered in accordance with its terms and in
compliance with the requirements prescribed by any and all statutes, rules and
regulations (including ERISA and the Code), except as would not have, in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and Company and each Subsidiary or ERISA

Material Adverse Effect on the Purchaser.  The Purchaser is duly qualified or
licensed as a foreign corporation to do business, and is in good standing, in
each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or
operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or

on the part of Purchaser. The Purchaser's Board of Directors has approved this
Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Employment Letter and the Rights Agreement
and the transactions contemplated thereby.  The Transaction Agreements have been

obligations of Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with
their terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by

principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in
a proceeding at law or in equity.  The shares of Purchaser Stock, when in issued
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be validly
issued, fully-paid and nonassessable.

representations or warranties made by the Company herein or in any Exhibit or
Schedule hereto, including the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, contained any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light
of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, except to the
extent corrected by a subsequently filed Purchaser SEC Document.

               (b)  The financial statements of Purchaser, including the notes
thereto, included in the Purchaser SEC Documents (the "Purchaser Financial

indicated therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal,
recurring year-end adjustments).

          6.5  Litigation.  There is no private or governmental action, suit,
               ----------
proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation pending before any agency, court
or tribunal, foreign or domestic, or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened

(in their capacities as such) that, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Purchaser. There is

<PAGE>

the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or that could reasonably be

          6.6  Purchase Entirely for Own Account.  This Agreement is made with
               ---------------------------------
the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser's representation to the Company and
Stockholder, which by the Purchaser's execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser
hereby confirms, that the Company Shares to be acquired by the Purchaser will be
acquired for investment for the Purchaser's own account, not as a nominee or
agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof,
and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any
participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this
Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not
presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any
person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third
person, with respect to any of the Company Shares. The Purchaser has not been
formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Company Shares.

          6.7  Restricted Company Shares.  The Purchaser understands that the
               -------------------------
Company Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities
Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the
Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of
the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser's representations as
expressed herein. The Purchaser understands that the Company Shares are
"restricted securities" under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws
and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Company Shares
indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such
registration and qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser
acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the
Company Shares for resale. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an
exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned
on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of
sale, the holding period for the Company Shares, and on requirements relating to
the Company which are outside of the Purchaser's control, and which the Company
is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

          6.8  No Public Market.  The Purchaser understands that no public
               ----------------
market now exists for any of the Company Shares, and that neither the Company
nor the Stockholder has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist
for the Company Shares.

          6.9  Legends.  The Purchaser understands that the Company Shares and
               -------
any Company Shares issued in respect of or exchange for the Company Shares, may
bear one or all of the following legends:

               (a)  "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE COMPANY SHARES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR
DISTRIBUTION THEREOF.  NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A
FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933."

                                      -29-

legended.

                -------------------
defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

          6.11  Breach of Representations and Warranties.  The Purchaser has no
                ----------------------------------------
actual knowledge of any fact or circumstance constituting a breach of the
representations and warranties of the Company and Stockholder set forth in
Section 4 of this Agreement or of the representations and warranties of
Stockholder set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement.

Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Stockholder all Escrow Cash, Escrow Shares and
other property remaining in the Escrow Fund and not required to satisfy such
claims.

Purchaser ("New Shares") in respect of the Escrow Shares that have not been
released from the Escrow Fund shall be added to the Escrow Fund and become a

          8.6  Purchaser Indemnification.  Subject to the limitations set forth
               -------------------------
in this Section 8, from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall protect,
defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholder from and against any Damages
that Stockholder incurs by reason of or in connection with any Claim alleging
misrepresentation, breach of, or default in connection with, any of the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Purchaser contained
in this Agreement, including any exhibits or schedules attached hereto which
becomes known to Stockholder during the Escrow Period; provided however, that no
such compensation shall be payable to the Stockholder unless and until the
amount of all Damages to the Stockholder exceeds $25,000 in the aggregate,
whereupon compensation shall be payable for all such Damages without deduction.
Damages in each case shall be net of the amount of any insurance proceeds
actually recovered by Stockholder.

          8.7  Method of Asserting Claims.  All claims for indemnification by a
               --------------------------
Purchaser Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 8 shall be made in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 8 and the provisions of the
Escrow Agreement.

          8.8  Defense of Third Party Claims.  In the event of the assertion or
               -----------------------------
commencement by any individual, entity or governmental body (each, a "Person")
of any claim or action, suit, litigation, arbitration proceeding (including any
civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or appellate proceeding),
hearing, inquiry, audit, examination or investigation commenced, brought,
conducted or heard by or before, or otherwise involving any court or other
governmental body or any arbitrator or arbitration panel (each a "Legal
Proceeding") (whether against the Company, against Purchaser, Stockholder or
against any other Person) with respect to which the Stockholder or Purchaser may
become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse a
Purchaser Indemnified Person or Stockholder pursuant to this Section 8, as the
case may be, the procedure set forth below shall be followed.

               (a)  With respect to the claims made by third parties, if an
indemnified party is threatened with any claim, or any such claim is presented
to or any action or proceeding commenced, that may give rise to the right of
indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party, as the case may be (the
"Indemnitee"), will give written notice thereof to the party or parties bearing
the indemnification obligation (the "Indemnifying Party); provided, however,
that any failure on the part of the Indemnitee to so notify the Indemnifying
Party shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnifying Party under
this Section 8, except that, to the extent such failure to promptly notify the
Indemnifying Party increases the Damages, then such Damages shall be reduced by
the amount of the Damages that would have been avoided, if any, had the
Indemnifying Party been promptly notified.

               (b)  The Indemnitee shall have the right to be represented by
counsel of its choice and to defend or otherwise control the handling of any
claim, or Legal Proceeding for which indemnity is sought. Notwithstanding the
foregoing but subject to the limitations provided below, the Indemnifying Party
may elect (by written notice to the Indemnitee under Section 11.2) to assume the
defense of or otherwise control the handling of such claim or Legal Proceeding
involving solely claims for monetary damages; provided, however, that the
Company or Stockholder, as the Indemnifying Party, shall have no right to assume
the defense or otherwise control the handling of any such claim or Legal
Proceeding against a Purchaser Indemnified Person (i) if the amount in question
(when aggregated with all other outstanding or unreimbursed

                                      -36-
<PAGE>

paid claims, if any) exceeds two times (2x) the Escrow Fund (valued as of the
date hereof) or (ii) if such claim or Legal Proceeding relates to (A) the
intellectual property rights of Purchaser or Company, or (B) disputes with
customers of Purchaser or the Company. If the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnitee agree upon mutually satisfactory counsel to assume the defense, the
Indemnifying Party shall assume the obligation to pay such counsel's fees and
expenses and shall no longer assume the obligation to pay the Indemnitee's
attorneys' fees and expenses.

               (c)  The party or parties which control the defense of any such
claim or Legal Proceeding:

                    (i)  shall proceed to defend such claim or Legal Proceeding
in a diligent manner with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the other party,

                    (ii)  each party shall make available to the defending party
any non-privileged documents and materials in its possession that may be
necessary to the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding except for documents
or materials which are sealed by a court order or are subject to a nondisclosure
agreement prohibiting such disclosure,

                    (iii)  the defending party shall keep the Indemnitee or the
Indemnifying Party, as applicable, informed of all material developments and
events relating to such claim or Legal Proceeding;

                    (iv)  the other parties shall have the right to participate
in the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding at their sole cost and expense;
and

                    (v)  the defending party shall not settle, adjust or
compromise such claim or Legal Proceeding without the prior written consent of
the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,
provided that where the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense such
settlement (A) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the
plaintiff or claimant to the Indemnitee of a release from all liability in
respect of such claim or litigation, (B) provides that the Indemnitee does not
admit any guilt or fault with respect to the subject matter of such claim or
litigation, and (C) does not involve injunctive or other equitable relief.

          8.9  No Contribution.  The Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that he
               ---------------
shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or
assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy
by virtue of having been an officer or director of the Company against a
Purchaser Indemnified Person or the Company, in each case as an Indemnified
Party, in connection with any indemnification obligation to which he may become
subject under or in connection with this Agreement.

          8.10  Exclusive Remedy; Limitations.
                -----------------------------

               (a)  The sole remedy of Purchaser for any and all claims of the
nature described in Section 8.2 shall be the indemnity set forth in Section 8.2,
subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section 8, and the maximum
liability of Stockholder hereunder shall be the sum of (i) [*] and (ii) fifty
percent of the total amount paid or due to be payable by Purchaser to
Stockholder pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof (such sum being referred to as the
"Liability Limit");

[*] Certain Information in this Exhibit has been omitted and filed separately
with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a confidential treatment
request.
                                      -37-
<PAGE>

provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit Purchaser's right to recover
Damages, or the amount of such Damages so recovered, from Stockholder in the
event of: (i) any breach of representation or warranty set forth in Sections 4.3
or 4.4, and (ii) any fraud by Stockholder.

               (b)  The sole remedy of Stockholder for any and all claims of the
nature described in Section 8.6 shall be the indemnity set forth in Section 8.6,
subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section 8, and the maximum
liability of Purchaser hereunder shall be the Liability Limit; provided,
however, that nothing herein shall limit Stockholder's right to recover Damages
from Purchaser in the event of any fraud by any officer, director, agent or
representative of Purchaser; and provided, further, that nothing herein shall
limit Stockholder's right to the Contingent Payment except for Purchaser's right
to offset with respect thereto as set forth herein.

                   COVENANTS OF STOCKHOLDER AND THE COMPANY

          9.1  Public Announcements.  All parties hereto agree that neither
               --------------------
party will make any press release or publication with respect to the existence
of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior
written consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, except as may be required by law.

          9.2  Cooperation.  Each party hereto will fully cooperate with the
               -----------
other parties, their counsel and accountants in connection with any steps
required to be taken as part of its obligations under this Agreement. Each party
will use reasonable efforts to cause all conditions to this Agreement to be
satisfied as promptly as possible and to obtain all consents and approvals
necessary for the due and punctual performance of this Agreement and for the
satisfaction of the conditions hereof. No party will undertake any course of
action inconsistent with this Agreement or which would make any representations,
warranties or agreements made by such party in this Agreement untrue or any
conditions precedent to this Agreement unable to be satisfied at or prior to the
Closing.

          9.3  Further Acts.  After the Closing Date, each party hereto, at the
               ------------
request of and without any further cost or expense to the other parties will
take any further actions necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of
this Agreement and to vest in Purchaser full title to all properties, assets,
Company Capital Stock and rights of the Company.  In addition, without in any
way limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company and, to the extent
required, the Stockholder hereby agrees to take any and all further actions
necessary or desirable to carry out the assignment to Purchaser of all
Intellectual Property.

                                  SECTION 10

                            COVENANTS OF PURCHASER

          10.1  Blue Sky Laws.  Purchaser shall take such steps as may be
                -------------
necessary to comply with the securities and Blue Sky Laws of all jurisdictions
which are applicable to the issuance of the Purchaser Stock pursuant hereto.

          10.2  Post-Closing Operation of Company.  Following the Closing,
                ---------------------------------
Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that the Company Business will be operated
either as a subsidiary or a business unit of Purchaser.  Subject to the terms of
the Employment Letter, Stockholder shall be appointed general manager (or such
other title as Purchaser and Stockholder shall mutually agree) of the Company
Business, reporting directly to Purchaser's President, in which capacity he
shall be responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the Company
Business.  During the Contingent Period, in addition to permitting the Company
to retain and use any positive cash flow which it generates, Purchaser shall
provide operating capital to the Company Business at a level consistent with the
operating capital and borrowings of the Company during the twelve (12) months
preceding the Closing plus such amounts as may be needed to fund any increased
accounts receivable and any compensation and other payments to be made to
Stockholder or Brown Bear Realty (in excess of those paid to Stockholder or
Brown Bear Realty in the twelve (12) months prior to Closing) pursuant to this
Agreement, the Lease Agreement and the Employment Letter (to the extent that the
compensation set forth therein exceeds that paid to Stockholder in the twelve
(12) months prior to Closing).  Purchaser understands that the Company's ability
to generate Net Revenues in an amount which would entitle Stockholder to the
Contingent Payment is an important condition to Stockholder, and it agrees,
subject to the foregoing quantification of Purchaser's working capital
commitment and its fiduciary obligations to its stockholders, to act in good
faith to support the Stockholder in his efforts to grow the Company Business
during the Contingent Period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser reserves
the right to reduce the funding of the Company Business or curtail its
operations during or after the Contingent Period in its reasonable commercial
discretion (excluding, in exercising such discretion, Purchaser's obligation to
pay the Contingent Payment) if Stockholder is no longer employed by the Company
Business for any reason whatsoever, including his death, disability, voluntary
resignation or termination with or without Cause.

          10.3  Guarantees.  Purchaser agrees to guarantee the obligations of
                ----------
the Company under the Employment Letter.

          10.4  Museum Covenant.
                ---------------

               (a)  Set forth on Schedule 10.4 hereto is a listing of
historically significant audio and video equipment that the Company currently
owns (the "Collection"). The Purchaser hereby covenants that from and after the
Closing Date it will: (i) keep the Collection intact and secure, (ii) use
commercially reasonable efforts to include the Collection in its standard
property and casualty insurance coverage, and (iii) not sell or otherwise
dispose of any of the Collection, in whole or in part without the consent of
Stockholder. Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees to provide advice to the
Company and Purchaser on affairs relating to the Collection; provided, however,
that except to the extent set forth above, Purchaser and Company shall have no
obligation with respect to such advice.

               (b)  As soon as practicable after the Closing, upon the request
of Stockholder, Purchaser shall cause the Company to convey title to the
Collection to a not-for-profit corporation formed or designated by the
Stockholder for the express purpose of preserving the Collection (the
"Conveyance"). Purchaser shall not bear any costs and expenses associated with
the Conveyance and the on-going operations of such entity and Stockholder shall
indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser for any such costs or expenses incurred by
Purchaser. As a condition to

                                      -39-
<PAGE>

the Conveyance, Purchaser shall receive a perpetual, royalty free, fully-paid
right and license to use items of the Collection from time to time that are
necessary or useful in the operation of the Business as determined by Purchaser
in its sole commercially reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing
section (a) and (b), at any time prior to the Conveyance, Purchaser may request
in writing that the Stockholder effect the Conveyance (the "Conveyance Request")
and if within six months of Stockholder's receipt of the Conveyance Request
Stockholder has not effected the Conveyance, Purchaser shall have no further
obligations with respect to the Collection and shall be free to retain or
dispose of the Collection in its sole discretion.

Agreement and the documents referred to herein are the product of all of the
parties hereto, and constitutes the entire agreement between such parties
pertaining to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and merge all prior
negotiations and drafts of the parties with regard to the transactions
contemplated herein and therein.  Any and all other written or oral agreements

          11.12  Arbitration.  Any controversy or dispute arising out of or
                 -----------
relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be resolved by
arbitration conducted in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the
American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and judgment upon the award rendered by
the arbitral tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
The arbitration tribunal shall consist of a single arbitrator mutually agreed by
the parties, or in the absence of such agreement within thirty (30) calendar
days from the first referral of the dispute to the AAA, designated by the AAA.
The place of arbitration shall be Chicago, Illinois, unless the parties shall
have agreed to another location within fifteen (15) calendar days from the first
referral of the dispute to the AAA. The arbitral award shall be final and
binding. The parties waive any right to appeal the arbitral award, to the extent
a right to appeal may be lawfully waived. Each party retains the right to seek
judicial assistance: (i) to compel arbitration; (ii) to obtain interim measures
of protection prior to or pending arbitration, (iii) to seek injunctive relief
in the courts of any jurisdiction as may be necessary and appropriate to protect
the unauthorized disclosure of its proprietary or confidential information, and
(iv) to enforce any decision of the arbitrator, including the final award. The
arbitration proceedings contemplated by this Section 11.12 shall be as
confidential and private as permitted by law. To that end, the parties shall not
disclose the existence, content or results of any proceedings conducted in
accordance with this Section, and materials submitted in connection with such
proceedings shall not be admissible in any other proceeding; provided, however,
