          $11,952,336.

               (ii) If Adjusted Working Capital, as reflected on the Closing
          Certificate, is less than $11,952,336, the Initial Purchase Price
          Closing Adjustment will be, and the Purchase Price will be decreased
          by, the amount by which Adjusted Working Capital is less than
          $11,952,336.

               (c) For purposes of this Agreement, "Adjusted Working Capital"
     means the remainder of (i) total current assets (exclusive of cash and cash
     equivalents, which shall be distributed to Sellers at or prior to the

     the Code (as hereinafter defined)), minus (ii) total current liabilities
     (exclusive of any notes or other debt obligations payable to any Seller,
     which shall be settled at or prior to the Closing), in each case as of the
     opening of business on the Closing Date and calculated and presented on a
     basis consistent with the Company's audited financial statements for the
     year ended September 30, 2005.

               (d) As promptly as practicable (but in any event within 30 days)
     after the Closing, Sellers shall cause the Company's current independent
     accountants (the "Company's Accountants") to prepare without audit and
     deliver to Buyer a balance sheet of the Company as of the opening of
     business on the Closing Date (the "Preliminary Closing Date Balance
     Sheet"), which shall be prepared and presented on a basis consistent with
     the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended September 30,
     2005. Upon receipt of the Preliminary Closing Date Balance Sheet, Buyer and
     Buyer's Accountants shall be permitted during the succeeding 30-day period
     to have reasonable access during normal business hours to the Company's
     Accountants and to the work papers and other documents prepared or
     information used in the preparation of the Preliminary Closing Date Balance
     Sheet. At or prior to the end of such 30-day period, Buyer shall either
     inform the Seller Representative in writing that the Preliminary Closing
     Date Balance Sheet is acceptable or object to it in writing setting forth a
     specific description of Buyer's objections. If Buyer objects to the
     Preliminary Closing Date Balance Sheet as provided above, Buyer and Sellers
     shall attempt to resolve any such objections within 20 days after the
     Seller Representative's receipt of such written objections. If Buyer and
     Sellers are unable to resolve the disputed matters within such 20-day
     period, they shall jointly select and engage Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP as
     a third firm of independent accountants (the "Third Accountants") to
     resolve the disputes and to make any adjustments to the Preliminary Closing
     Date Balance Sheet. Buyer, Sellers, Buyer's Accountants and the Company's
     Accountants each shall make readily available to the Third Accountants all
     relevant books, records, work papers and personnel reasonably requested by
     the Third Accountants. The Third Accountants' resolution of the disputes
     and its adjustments, if any, to the Preliminary Closing Date Balance Sheet
     shall be limited to the matters in dispute between Sellers and Buyer and
     shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. The final Closing Date
     Balance Sheet, in the form either accepted by Buyer or resolved and
     adjusted (if adjusted) by the Third Accountants, as the case may be, is
     herein called the "Closing Date Balance Sheet" for all purposes of this
     Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Third Accountants, if any, shall be
     paid equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers on the other hand.

                                       -3-

<PAGE>

               (e) Within two business days after the final determination of the
     Closing Date Balance Sheet as provided for in subsection (d) above, Buyer
     or Sellers, as applicable, shall make payment to the other by wire transfer
     of immediately available funds, as follows:

                    (i) If Adjusted Working Capital as reflected on the Closing
          Date Balance Sheet is greater than Adjusted Working Capital as
          reflected on the Closing Certificate, then Buyer shall pay the amount
          of such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
          an account for Sellers to be designated in writing by the Seller
          Representative.

                    (ii) If Adjusted Working Capital as reflected on the Closing
          Date Balance Sheet is less than Adjusted Working Capital as reflected
          on the Closing Certificate, then the parties shall instruct the escrow
          agent under the Escrow Agreement to distribute the amount of such
          difference to Buyer from escrow.

               (f) Any amount paid by either party pursuant to this Section 1.3
     shall be deemed for all purposes to be an upward or downward, as
     applicable, adjustment of the Purchase Price.

4.12 may be inadequate and (b) in the event of any such failure, Buyer shall be
entitled to seek and obtain from a court having jurisdiction specific
performance, an injunction, a restraining order or any other equitable relief in
order to enforce any such provision. The right to obtain such equitable relief
shall be in addition to any other remedy to which Buyer is entitled under
applicable law (including, but not limited to, monetary damages). Each Seller
represents and warrants that he, she or it has had an opportunity to consult
with counsel regarding this Agreement, has fully and completely reviewed

                                      -23-

<PAGE>

this Agreement with such counsel and fully understands the contents hereof. Each
Seller agrees that the territorial, time and other limitations contained in this
Agreement are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of
the business and affairs of Buyer, and in the event that any one or more of such
territorial, time or other limitations is found to be unreasonable by a court of
competent jurisdiction, each Seller agrees to submit to the reduction of said
territorial, time or other limitations to such an area, period or otherwise as
the court may determine to be reasonable. In the event that any limitation under
this Agreement is found to be unreasonable or otherwise invalid in any
jurisdiction, in whole or in part, each Seller acknowledges and agrees that such
limitation shall remain and be valid in all other jurisdictions.

4.14 USE OF CORPORATE NAME OR TRADE NAME.

          After the Closing, Sellers will not use or refer to the name "Banjo"
or any trade name included within the Intellectual Property, or any derivative
or variation thereof or any name similar thereto except in connection with the
performance of their obligations, if any, as officers or employees of the
Company.

4.15 LIABILITY INSURANCE.

          Sellers shall purchase and maintain tail coverages for the existing
liability insurance coverages of the Company for a period of two (2) years after
the Closing. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay, or shall reimburse Sellers for,
twenty-five percent (25%) of the cost of such tail coverages.

4.16 NOTIFICATION OF CERTAIN MATTERS.

          Sellers shall give prompt written notice to Buyer of (a) any fact or
circumstance, or any occurrence or failure to occur of any event of which
Sellers have knowledge, which fact, circumstance, occurrence or failure causes
or, with notice or the lapse of time, would cause any representation or warranty
of Sellers contained in this Agreement to be breached or untrue or inaccurate in
any respect any time from the date of this Agreement to the Closing and (b) any
failure of Sellers to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or
agreement to be complied with or satisfied by Sellers under this Agreement.

                                    ARTICLE V

                                   TAX MATTERS

5.1  AUDITS, ETC.

          Each party hereto agrees to promptly notify the other party upon
receipt of notice of any Audit of the Company for any taxable year or period
ending prior to or including the Closing Date, and agree to furnish or cause to
be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such
information (including access to books and records) and assistance relating to
the Company as is reasonably necessary for the preparation and filing of any Tax
Return, for the preparation for any Audit, and for the prosecution or defense of
any claim, action, suit or other proceeding relating to any proposed adjustment
of Taxes. The parties shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any
Audit and each shall execute and deliver such

                                      -24-

<PAGE>

powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent
of this Section; provided, that notwithstanding anything herein or in Article VI
to the contrary, Buyer, in good faith consultation with the Seller
Representative, shall have the right to control and direct the manner and the
resolution of any Audit involving the Company.

5.2  OTHER TAX MATTERS

               (a) Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date. Sellers
     shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file or cause to be filed
     all Tax Returns for the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the
     Closing Date that are filed after the Closing Date. Sellers shall provide a
     copy of such Tax Returns and copies of the work papers and other documents
     prepared or information used in the preparation of such Tax Returns for
     Buyer's review at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date for filing such
     Tax Returns. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Sellers shall
     include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other tax items for such
     periods on their Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Schedule K-1s
     furnished by the Company to Sellers for such periods. Sellers shall
     reimburse Buyer for any income Tax liability with respect to such periods
     within fifteen (15) days after payment by Buyer or the Company of such
     income Tax liability to the extent such income Tax liability is not
     reflected in the Closing Date Balance Sheet and used in calculating the
     Adjusted Working Capital.

               (b) Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing
     Date. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file or cause
     to be filed any Tax Returns of the Company for Tax periods that begin
     before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. Buyer shall provide
     a copy of such Tax Returns for Sellers' review at least fifteen (15) days
     prior to the date for filing such Tax Returns. Sellers shall pay to Buyer
     within fifteen (15) days after the date on which Taxes are paid with
     respect to such periods an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes which
     relates to the portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date, to
     the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the Closing Date Balance Sheet
     and used in calculating the Adjusted Working Capital. For purposes of this
     Section 5.2, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis
     and are payable for a Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the
     Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such
     Tax period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes
     other than Taxes based upon or related to income, receipts, wages, capital
     expenditures, or expenses, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the
     entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the
     number of days in the portion of the Tax period that ends on the Closing
     Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax
     period, and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income,
     receipts, wages, capital expenditures, or expenses, be deemed equal to the
     amount which would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the
     Closing Date. Any credits relating to a Tax period that begins before and
     ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the
     relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date.

               (c) Cooperation In Connection With Tax Matters. Buyer, Sellers
     and the Company shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably
     requested by the other parties, in connection with the filing of Tax
     Returns pursuant to this Section 5.2 and any audit, claim, action, suit or
     other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation

                                      -25-

<PAGE>

     shall include the retention and (upon another party's request) the
     provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any
     such audit, claim, action, suit or other proceeding and making employees
     available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information
     and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Sellers and Buyer agree
     to, and agree to cause the Company to (i) retain all books and records with
     respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any Tax period
     beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of
     limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or Seller, any extensions
     thereof) of the respective Tax periods, and to abide by all record
     retention agreements entered into with any Tax authority, and (ii) give the
     other parties reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying,
     or discarding any such books and records. Buyer and Sellers further agree,
     upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other
     document from any Governmental Entity or any other person as may be
     necessary to mitigate, reduce, or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed
     (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions
     contemplated under this Agreement).

               (c) Sellers, jointly and severally, shall defend, indemnify and
     hold Buyer and its affiliates, the directors, officers and employees of
     Buyer and its affiliates, harmless from, against and in respect of the

          covenant or agreement by Sellers contained in this Agreement;

                    (ii) any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any of them

<PAGE>

          such shareholder's or other equity owner's personal representative or
          any other person making a claim based on a relationship with any other

                    (iii) any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any of them
          arising from any indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Company
          on the Closing Date of a type required under GAAP to be reflected on
          the Closing Date Balance Sheet or any indebtedness for borrowed money
          incurred by the Company on or after the Closing Date but before the
          Closing, except to the extent reflected in the Closing Date Balance
          Sheet and used in calculating the Adjusted Working Capital; and

          complied with the terms and conditions of any Permits or laws, rules,
          regulations or orders, applicable to the Company or its business.

6.2  TAX INDEMNIFICATION.

               (a) Sellers, jointly and severally, shall defend, indemnify and
     hold Buyer and the Company harmless from, against and with respect to any
     and all Taxes that may be imposed upon or assessed against the Company or
     Buyer or the assets of the Company (A) based on income attributable to any
     period ending on or prior to the Closing Date (including, without
     limitation, any tax imposed by reason of the transactions contemplated by
     this Agreement), (B) based on operations of the Company on or prior to the
     Closing Date or (C) arising by reason of any breach by Sellers of any of
     the representations contained in Section 2.15, and shall be responsible for
     any liability for any federal, state, local or foreign income, business and
     occupation or similar Taxes owing by the Company to any Governmental Entity
     attributable to the operations and activities of, or otherwise incurred by
     or existing with respect to, the Company for any period ending on or prior
     to the Closing Date, except, in each case, to the extent fully reflected on
     the Closing Date Balance Sheet and used in calculating the Adjusted Working
     Capital.

               (b) Any claim for indemnity under this Section 6.2 may be made at
     any time prior to sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable
     tax statute of limitations with respect to the relevant taxable period
     (including all periods of extension, whether automatic or permissive).

6.3  CERTAIN LIMITATIONS.

               (a) The indemnification obligations of Sellers under Section
     6.1(b) shall not apply to the first $1,000,000, in the aggregate, of Losses
     referred to therein, except to the extent that such Losses may be incurred
     by virtue of or result from fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

                                      -27-

<PAGE>

               (b) The indemnification obligations of Sellers under Sections
     6.1(b) shall not exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate, and the
     indemnification obligations of each Seller under this Article VI shall not
     exceed the aggregate Purchase Price received by such Seller for his, her or
     its Shares; provided however, that the foregoing limitations shall not
     apply to any Losses resulting from a breach of the representations and
     warranties contained in Section 2.4 (Capitalization of the Company;
     Subsidiaries and Investments) or Section 2.7(a) (Ownership and Condition of
     Assets) or that that may be incurred by virtue of or result from fraud or
     intentional misrepresentation.

               (c) All representations and warranties of Sellers contained in
     this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18)
     months (the "Claims Period"): except that (A) the representations and
     warranties in Section 2.4 (Capitalization of the Company; Subsidiaries and
     Investments) and Section 2.7(a) (Ownership and Condition of Assets) shall
     survive the Closing indefinitely and (B) the representations and warranties
     in Section 2.18 (Environmental Matters) and Section 2.15 (Taxes) shall
     survive the Closing for a period of six (6) years from the date Sellers
     file the last tax return described in Section 5.2(a). Any claim made by
     Buyer with respect to the representations and warranties of Sellers
     contained in this Agreement must be initiated by Buyer during the Claims
     Period, except that any claim with respect to the representations and
     warranties in Section 2.18 (Environmental Matters) or in Section 2.15
     (Taxes) must be initiated within six (6) years following the filing by
     Sellers of the last tax return required to be filed pursuant to Section

     may be initiated with respect to the representations and warranties in

     and Section 2.7(a) (Ownership and Condition of Assets). All of the
     representations and warranties of Sellers contained in this Agreement shall
     in no respect be limited or diminished by any past or future inspection,
     investigation, examination or possession on the part of Buyer or its
     representatives or any notice pursuant to Section 4.16. All covenants and
     agreements made by Sellers contained in this Agreement (including, without
     limitation, the obligation of Sellers to convey the Shares to Buyer free
     and clear of any Lien and the indemnification obligations of Sellers set
     forth in this Article VI) shall survive the Closing Date until fully
     performed or discharged.

               (d) The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification by Sellers
     hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds received
     by Buyer or the Company in respect of such Loss (net of retrospective
     premium payment or prospective premium increases).

6.4  DEFENSE OF CLAIMS.

               (a) As used in this Section 6.4, any party seeking
     indemnification pursuant to this Article VI is referred to as an
     "Indemnified Party" and any party from whom indemnification is sought
     pursuant to this Article VI is referred to as an "Indemnifying Party." An
     Indemnified Party which proposes to assert the right to be indemnified
     under this Article VI shall submit a written demand for indemnification to
     the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable after its discovery of
     grounds for indemnification hereunder, setting forth in summary form the
     facts as then known which form the basis for the claim for indemnification;
     provided, however, that the failure to

                                      -28-

<PAGE>

     give such notice will not affect such claim of indemnification except to
     the extent of actual prejudice to the Indemnifying Party. With respect to
     claims based on actions by third parties, an Indemnified Party shall,
     within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of notice of the commencement of
     any claim, action, suit or other proceeding against it in respect of which
     a claim for indemnification is to be made against an Indemnifying Party,
     notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement of such claim,
     action, suit or other proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers served;
     provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party of
     any such claim, action, suit or other proceeding shall not relieve the
     Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified
     Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced
     thereby. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the
     Indemnifying Party, within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the
     Indemnified Party, copies of all further notices relating to such claim.

               (b) With respect to claims based on actions by third parties,
     Sellers may, at their option, upon providing to Buyer written
     acknowledgment of their obligation to indemnify each Indemnified Party for
     all Losses arising with respect to such claim pursuant to this Article VI,
     assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
     Buyer, at the sole cost and expense of Sellers unless (i) such claim seeks
     an order, injunction or other equitable relief against Buyer or the
     Company, (ii) Buyer shall have reasonably concluded that there is a
     conflict of interest between Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer or the
     Company, on the other hand, in the defense of such claim or (iii) the
     amount of potential exposure with respect to such claim exceeds the amounts
     remaining with the escrow agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (A) minus
     the amount of all prior claims delivered to the escrow agent by Buyer which
     remain unresolved and (B) plus the amount of any bond or other security
     reasonably satisfactory to Buyer posted by Seller Representative upon the
     assumption of such defense. After any assumption of the defense of any
     claim by Sellers, Sellers shall not be liable to Buyer for any legal
     expenses thereafter incurred by Buyer in connection with the defense
     thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and any costs incurred
     in the course of such defense. In any such event, whether or not Sellers do
     so assume the defense thereof, Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate in the
     defense thereof and shall furnish such records and information and attend
     at such proceedings as may be reasonably requested in connection herewith.
     Subject to Section 6.4(c) below, unless Seller Representative unreasonably
     withholds such consent Sellers shall have no indemnification obligations
     with respect to any claim or demand that is settled by Buyer without the
     prior written consent of the Seller Representative (which consent shall not
     be unreasonably withheld).

               (c) In the event that Buyer proposes to settle any third party
     claim by any person other than a Governmental Entity, then Buyer shall give
     the Seller Representative ten (10) business days' prior written notice of
     such proposed settlement, together with a description of such claim and the
     principal terms of the proposed settlement in reasonable detail. During
     such ten (10) business day period, Buyer shall provide to the Seller
     Representative any additional information requested by the Seller
     Representative that he reasonably deems necessary to make a determination
     whether to accept or reject such proposed settlement. The Seller
     Representative shall notify Buyer prior to the end of such ten (10)
     business day period as to whether Sellers accept or reject

                                      -29-

<PAGE>

     such proposed settlement; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything
     to the contrary contained in this Article VI, if Sellers reject the
     proposed settlement, Sellers shall at the time of such rejection
     acknowledge their obligation to indemnify Buyer for all Losses arising with
     respect to such claim pursuant to this Article VI and shall at such time
     also post a performance bond, letter of credit or other similar security in
     each case reasonably satisfactory to Buyer in an amount which equals, the
     excess of (i) the amount by which the amount claimed pursuant to such third
     party claim or, if greater, the potential liability arising out of such
     third party claim (in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party),
     exceeds the proposed settlement amount over (ii) the amount, if any,
     remaining with the escrow agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (A) minus
     the amount of all prior claims delivered to the escrow agent by Buyer which
     remain unresolved and (B) plus the amount of any bond or other security
     previously posted by Sellers upon any assumption of the defense of such
     claim by Sellers pursuant to Section 6.4(b) above.

               (d) In the event that any claim for indemnification is made with
     respect to any third party claim pursuant to this Article VI, (A) the party
     assuming primary responsibility for the defense of such claim shall at all
     times keep the other party reasonably informed as to the status of such
     claim and (B) the party not primarily responsible for the defense of such
     claim shall cooperate folly with the other party in connection with such
     defense.

6.5  EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.

          The rights of indemnification of Buyer under this Article VI shall be
the sole and exclusive remedy available to Buyer and its affiliates, and the
directors, officers and employees of Buyer and its affiliates, for any Losses
incurred by any of them after the Closing as a result of any breach by any
Seller of its representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in
this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby except for fraud or intentional misrepresentation; provided, however,
that this Section 6.5, shall not preclude or limit Buyer from the exercise of
all available equitable remedies in the event of any breach by any Seller of its
covenants to be performed after the Closing Date.

6.6  ESCROW AGREEMENT.

          All Losses incurred by Buyer that are subject to indemnification
hereunder shall be payable first from the funds being held in escrow pursuant to
the Escrow Agreement, to the extent of such funds, as provided for in the Escrow
Agreement.

8.1  TERMINATION.

          This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated
hereby abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

               (a) by mutual written consent of those Sellers then owning a
     majority of the Shares (the "Majority Sellers") on the one hand, and Buyer
     on the other hand;

               (b) by the Majority Sellers, on the one hand, or Buyer on the
     other hand, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before October 31,
     2006 (or, if the Closing has not then occurred because the waiting period
     under the HSR Act shall not have expired or been terminated, on or before
     November 30, 2006), or such later date to which the Majority Sellers and
     Buyer agree in writing, for any reason other than a breach of this

               (c) by Buyer, if there shall have been any material breach by
     Sellers of their representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set
     forth herein, which breach (i) has, in the reasonable judgment of Buyer,
     rendered impossible the satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in
     Section 7.1 hereof and (ii) has not been remedied within 15 days after
     Buyer delivers written notice of such breach to the Seller Representative
     (any such written notice to refer specifically to this Section 8.1(c) and
     to describe such breach in reasonable detail); or

               (d) by the Majority Sellers, if there shall have been any
     material breach by Buyer of any of its representations, warranties,
     covenants and agreements set forth herein, which breach (i) has, in the
     reasonable judgment of the Majority Sellers, rendered impossible the
     satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 hereof and
     (ii) has not been remedied within 15 days after the Seller Representative
     delivers written notice of such breach to Buyer (any such written notice to
     refer specifically to this Section 8.1(d) and to describe such breach in
     reasonable detail).

8.2  PROCEDURE AND EFFECT OF TERMINATION.

               (a) In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to
     this Article VIII, the terminating party shall forthwith give written
     notice thereof to the other party and this Agreement shall terminate, and
     the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned, without further
     action by either of the parties hereto.

               (b) If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, neither
     party hereto shall have any liability or further obligation hereunder to
     the other party, except as provided in Section 9.2 and except that nothing

9.1  PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.

          Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
consummated, each party hereto shall pay its own expenses incident to preparing
for, entering into and carrying out this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall pay the
reasonable legal fees and expenses of a single law firm and a single firm of
independent accountants to represent the Company and the Sellers in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby for services performed at or before
the Closing and an accrual for all such fees and expenses shall be included on
the Preliminary Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Balance Sheet.

9.2  SURVIVAL.

          The representations and warranties of Sellers set forth in Article II
of this Agreement shall survive the Closing as set forth in Article VI hereof.
The agreements of the parties contained in Articles I, IV, V, VI and this
Article IX shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the respective
periods specified therein or, if none is specified, indefinitely. The agreements
of the parties contained in Sections 4.3(b), 8.2 and this Article IX shall
survive any termination of this Agreement. All other representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall not survive the
Closing or termination of this Agreement.

9.3  ENTIRE AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENT; ETC.

          This Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule) and the
Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all
other agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written
and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and shall
not be assignable by operation of law or otherwise and is not intended to create
any obligations to, or rights in respect of, any persons other than the parties
hereto.

9.4  CAPTIONS.

          The Article, Section and paragraph captions herein are for convenience
of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be
deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof.

9.5  SEVERABILITY.

          If any term or other provision of this Agreement, or any portion
thereof, is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law
or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement, or remaining
portion thereof, shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as
the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not
affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination
that any such term or other provision, or any portion thereof, is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in
good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the
parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated to the fullest extent possible.

     true and lawful agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact and agent and authorizes
     the Seller Representative acting for

                                     -36-

<PAGE>

     such Seller and in such Seller's name, place and stead, in any and all
     capacities to do and perform every act and thing required or permitted to
     be done in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
     and the Escrow Agreement, as fully to all intents and purposes as such
     Person might or could do in person, including, without limitation, to (i)
     consummate the transactions contemplated herein, and in the event of such
     consummation, to receive payment on behalf of such Seller for the Shares,
     (ii) pay such Seller's expenses (whether incurred on or after the date
     hereof) incurred in connection with the performance of this Agreement and
     the Escrow Agreement, it being understood that such expenses shall be
     allocated among the Sellers based upon each Seller's proportionate
     shareholdings, (iii) disburse any funds received hereunder to such Seller
     and each other Seller, (iv) execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement and
     any other Contracts contemplated herein and any certificates or other
     documents required hereunder, including delivery of any stock certificates
     representing the Shares, (v) execute and deliver on behalf of such Seller
     any amendment hereto or to any of the documents described in clause (iv) of
     this Section 9.13(a), (vi) take all other actions to be taken by or on
     behalf of such Seller in connection herewith, (vii) negotiate, settle,
     compromise and otherwise handle, pay or accept any amounts pursuant to this
     Agreement or pursuant to any of the documents described in clause (iv) of
     this Section 9.13(a), (viii) to negotiate, settle, compromise and otherwise
     handle all claims for indemnification made by Buyer pursuant to this
     Agreement and (ix) do each and every act and exercise any and all rights
     which such Seller or the Sellers (collectively) are permitted or required
     to do or exercise under this Agreement. Each Seller grants unto said
     attorney-in-fact and agent full power and authority to do and perform each
     and every act and thing necessary or desirable to be done in connection
     with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as fully to all
     intents and purposes as the undersigned might or could do in person, hereby
     ratifying and confirming all that the Seller Representative may lawfully do
     or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Each Seller will, by executing this
     Agreement agree that such agency, proxy and power of attorney are coupled
     with an interest, and are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the
     Seller Representative and shall survive the death, incapacity, or
     bankruptcy of such Seller. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that upon
     execution of this Agreement, any delivery by the Seller Representative of
     any waiver, amendment, agreement, opinion, certificate or other documents
     executed by the Seller Representative or any decisions made by the Seller
     Representative pursuant to this Section 9.13, such Seller shall be bound by
     such documents or decision as fully as if such Seller had executed and
     delivered such documents or made such decisions.

               (b) No Fiduciary Relationship. The Seller Representative shall
     not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of
     any Seller, except in respect of amounts received on behalf of such Seller.
     The Seller Representative shall not be liable to any Seller for any action
     taken or omitted by him or any agent employed by him hereunder or under any
     other document or agreement in connection therewith, except that the Seller
     Representative shall not be relieved of any liability imposed by law for
     gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Seller Representative shall not
     be liable to Sellers for any apportionment or distribution of payments made
     by the Seller Representative in good faith, and if any such apportionment
     or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the
     sole recourse of any Seller to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be
     to recover from other Sellers any

                                      -37-

<PAGE>

     payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been
     entitled. The Seller Representative shall not be required to make any
     inquiry concerning either the performance of observance of any of the
     terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement.

               (c) Replacement of the Seller Representative. Upon the death,
     disability or incapacity of the initial Seller Representative appointed
     pursuant to Section 9.13(a) above, each Seller acknowledges and agrees the
     Majority Sellers shall promptly appoint a replacement Seller Representative
     hereunder within ten (10) days. In the event that the Seller Representative
     resigns for any reason, the Majority Sellers shall promptly appoint another
     representative to fill such vacancy. Any substituted representative shall
     be deemed the Seller Representative for all purposes of this Agreement and
     the documents executed in connection with this Agreement.

               (d) Actions of the Seller Representative; Liability of the Seller
     Representative. Each Seller agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to rely on
     any action taken by the Seller Representative, on behalf of Sellers,
     pursuant to this Agreement (each, an "Authorized Action"), and that each
     Authorized Action shall be binding on each Seller as fully as if such
     Seller had taken such Authorized Action. Buyer agrees that the Seller
     Representative shall have no liability to Buyer for any Authorized Action,
     except to the extent that such Authorized Action is found by a final order
     of a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted fraud or willful
     misconduct. Sellers jointly and severally agree to pay, and to indemnify
     and hold harmless Buyer from and against any losses which they may suffer,
     sustain, or become subject to, as the result of any claim by any Person
     that an Authorized Action is not binding on, or enforceable against,
     Sellers. In addition, Sellers hereby release and discharge Buyer from and
     against any liability arising out of or in connection with the Seller
     Representative's failure to distribute any amounts received by the Seller
     Representative on Sellers' behalf to Sellers.

<PAGE>

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

          THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of October ___, 2006, is between BANJO
CORPORATION, an Indiana corporation (the "Company") and MICHAEL D. BOWMAN, an
individual residing at 7207 Windridge Way, Brownsburg, IN 46112 (the
"Executive").

          INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT.

          The Executive has been serving as President of the Company. Pursuant
to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated as of [September
___, 2006] between IDEX Corporation ("IDEX") and the shareholders of the
Company, the Company is becoming a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
IDEX. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company will conduct the
Business (as defined in Section 10). It is intended that this Agreement will be
dated and become effective as of and only upon the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. As inducements to enter into this
Agreement, Executive receives additional compensation, including but not limited
to that provided in Sections 3(b), 3(c) and 15(c), and the Company receives
additional rights, including but not limited to those provided in Sections 7
through 14, and the Executive and the Company acknowledge that IDEX and its
Affiliates are intended to be third party beneficiaries of certain rights under
this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those provided in Section 7
through 14. Therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
contained in this Agreement, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

     1.   EMPLOYMENT; TERM.

          Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the
Company hereby agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive hereby accepts
such employment, for the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and
continuing for a period of four (4) years (the "Initial Term"), subject to
earlier termination of the Executive's employment as provided in this Agreement.
Upon the expiration of the Initial Term, the term of this Agreement shall be
renewed automatically for successive additional one-year periods (each such
renewal period being referred to as an "Extended Term") unless either the
Company or the Executive delivers written notice to the other party that it does
not intend to renew this Agreement, at least 30 days prior to the end of the
Initial Term or an Extended Term, as the case may be (the "Non-Renewal Notice").
In the event that either the Company or the Executive delivers a Non-Renewal
Notice, this Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of the then-current
Initial Term or Extended Term, as the case may be. As used herein, the "term" of
this Agreement shall include the Initial Term and each Extended Term, if any.

     2.   DUTIES.

     (a) The Executive shall serve as the chief executive officer of the Company
and, subject to the supervision and authority of the Board of Directors, shall
have the powers and perform the duties of supervision and management which
ordinarily appertain to the office of

<PAGE>

                                       -2-

President of a corporation and as the Board of Directors of the Company shall
from time to time reasonably direct commensurate with the Executive's position.
The Company and the Executive agree that, during the term of Executive's
employment, the Executive shall serve as President and as a member of the Board
of Directors of the Company and Executive will report to the Board of Directors
of the Company. The Executive agrees to perform Executive's duties and discharge
Executive's responsibilities in a faithful manner and to the best of Executive's
ability and to use all reasonable efforts to promote the interests of the
Company and its Business. The Executive further agrees that, during the term of
Executive's employment, Executive will devote substantially all of Executive's
skill, knowledge and business time and attention to the performance of
Executive's duties under this Agreement; provided however, that to the extent it
does not materially interfere with the Executive's performance of, or ability to
perform, any of Executive's duties and obligations under this Agreement, it
shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the Executive to (i) serve on any
other corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees, if and to the extent
approved in advance by the Board of Directors of the Company and (ii) manage
personal investments.

     (b) The Executive represents and warrants that Executive is entering into
this Agreement voluntarily and that Executive's employment hereunder and
compliance by Executive with the terms of this Agreement will not conflict with
or result in the breach of any agreement to which Executive is a party or by
which Executive is bound.

     3.   COMPENSATION.

     (a) During the term of the Executive's employment under this Agreement, the
Executive shall receive an annual base salary of $200,000, payable in accordance
with the regular payroll practices of the local business unit. Such annual base
salary will be subject to review and possible increase (but not decrease) by the
Company on or about each anniversary of the date of this Agreement. Any and all
increases in the level of the base salary as provided for in the preceding
sentence shall become the level of the base salary for the remainder of the term
until there is a further increase in the base salary as provided for herein.

     (b) During the term of the Executive's employment under this Agreement, the
Executive shall be entitled to annual bonus payments in accordance with IDEX's
Management Incentive Compensation Plan applicable to the officers of its
subsidiaries, as such Plan is administered and from time to time modified by
IDEX in its sole discretion. The annual bonus would be targeted to be 45% of the
Executive's base salary at targeted levels of operation and would otherwise be
based upon the criteria set forth in the IDEX Management Incentive Compensation
Plan. Any annual bonus for calendar year 2006 will be prorated based on the
partial year between the date of this Agreement and December 31, 2006.

awards.

all other payments made to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, all amounts

entitled to participate in, any health and medical benefit plans, any pension,
profit sharing and retirement plans, and any insurance policies or programs from
time to time offered to employees of comparable status to the Executive who are
employed by the Company. These plans, policies and programs are subject to
change at the sole discretion of the Company, provided that such plans, policies
and programs, in the aggregate, will be no less valuable than those offered by
the Company as of the date of this Agreement.

     (b) The Executive shall be entitled to any other fringe benefit from time
to time offered to employees of comparable status to the Executive who are
employed by the Company (including, but not limited to, the use of an automobile
to the extent so offered to such employees). Such fringe benefits are subject to
change at the sole discretion of the Company, provided that such fringe
benefits, in the aggregate, will be no less valuable than those offered by the
Company as of the date of this Agreement.

     5.   VACATIONS.

          The Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks of paid vacation
each year. All such vacations shall be taken at such times as shall be agreed
upon by the Board of Directors of the Company and Executive. Vacation time may

interests or to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order
applicable to the Executive or the Company or in response to any legally
enforceable subpoena or other legal process. For purposes of this Agreement,
"confidential information" shall mean all information which is not generally
available to the public and which the Company or any Affiliate treats as
confidential pertaining to the business, assets and operations of the Business
or otherwise pertaining to the business, assets and operations of the Company or
any Affiliate, including without limitation trade secrets, technology, financial

right, title and interest in and to all information, including without
limitation, all confidential information, which the Executive receives,
conceives, or develops, either alone or with others, during the term of
Executive's employment hereunder and which relates to the business of the
Company or its Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all
notes, notebooks, memoranda, working papers, graphs, charts, pictures, data,
drawings, documents and all other items containing or relating in any way to any
such information made, compiled or obtained by the Executive, and all copies
thereof, together with all rights associated with ownership of such items (such
as copyright, patent, trade secret and other proprietary rights) shall become
the property of the Company or its Affiliates, when so made, compiled or
obtained, whether or not delivered to the Company or its Affiliates, and shall
be held by the Executive in trust for the Company or its Affiliates and shall be
delivered to the Company or its Affiliates upon request and, in any event, upon
termination of the Executive's employment hereunder.

     13.  DEVELOPMENTS.

          In consideration of the compensation and other benefits to be paid to
the Executive under this Agreement and to induce the Company and IDEX to
consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the
Executive agrees as follows:

     (a) The Executive agrees to immediately communicate to the Company and IDEX
a full and complete disclosure of each Development (as defined in subsection (d)
below) conceived, made, or otherwise developed by the Executive during the term
of Executive's employment hereunder, whether solely or jointly with others, and
whether or not while actually engaged in performing work for the Company or its
Affiliates.

     (b) The Executive agrees to assign and transfer, and does hereby assign and
transfer, to the Company or its Affiliates, without any separate remuneration or
compensation, his entire right, title and interest in and to all Developments
and any United States and foreign patent, copyright and any other proprietary
rights in and with respect to all such Developments, conceived, made or
otherwise developed by the Executive during the term of employment hereunder,
whether a full or partial interest, and whether or not while engaged in
performing work for the Company or its Affiliates. The Executive understands and
agrees that the Company will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion,
whether an application for a copyright, patent or other proprietary right
registration will be filed on the Executive's Development and whether any such
application will be abandoned prior to issuance of a patent, copyright or other
proprietary right registration.

     (c) The Executive shall, at the Company's expense, take such action,
including, but not limited to, execution, acknowledgment, delivery and
assistance in preparation of documentation, as may reasonably be requested by
the Company or its Affiliates for the implementation or continuing performance
of subsection 13(b) of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Executive shall execute, acknowledge, deliver and assist in
preparing such instruments of conveyance, patent or copyright application, or
assignment or further assurance, as the Company or its Affiliates may reasonably
request, to evidence, transfer, vest and confirm the right, title and interest
transferred or granted or to be transferred or granted to the Company or its
Affiliates under subsection 13(b) of this Agreement. The Executive shall not
contest the validity of any patent, copyright or other proprietary right, either
United States or foreign, which is transferred, conveyed, granted, vested or
otherwise assigned to the Company or its Affiliates to which the Executive made
any contribution or in which the Executive participated in any way, and shall
not assist any other party in any way to contest the validity of such patent,
copyright, or proprietary right.

     (d) "Developments" means (i) any invention, discovery, concept or idea,
whether or not patentable, (ii) any writing, drawing, design or other creative
expression, whether or not

<PAGE>

                                      -8-

copyright or trademark applications are filed thereon, (iii) any computer
program, discovery, idea, device, process, design, development, improvement,
conception, concept, application, technique or know-how or (iv) any other
invention, whether patentable or copyrightable, and whether or not reduced to
practice, and, with respect to all of items (i) through (iv) of this subsection
(d), that (A) results from or is suggested by any work performed by the
Executive for the Company or its Affiliates and relates to or is within the
scope of the business, research or development activities of the Company or its
Affiliates and (B) is made or discovered during the time of the Executive's
employment with the Company or its Affiliates, or within six (6) months after
the termination of such employment, and under the Executive's direction or
supervision, whether or not it is made or discovered alone or jointly with
others, and whether or not it is conceived, made or discovered during normal
working hours, using the assets, facilities or resources of the Company or its
Affiliates, or on the premises of the Company or its Affiliates. Developments
shall include, but not be limited to, articles, processes, methods, formulas,
systems, computer source codes and techniques as well as improvements thereof
and know-how related thereto. All Developments are the property of the Company
or its Affiliates.

          NOTICE OF RIGHTS - THIS AGREEMENT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS TO OWNERSHIP OF
          INVENTIONS MADE BY YOU. YOU MAY HAVE RIGHTS PURSUANT TO STATE LAW.
          THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT APPLY TO AN INVENTION FOR WHICH NO EQUIPMENT,
          SUPPLIES, FACILITIES OR TRADE SECRET INFORMATION OF THE COMPANY WAS
          USED AND WHICH WAS DEVELOPED ENTIRELY ON YOUR OWN TIME UNLESS (A) THE
          INVENTION RELATES (I) TO THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY OR (II) TO THE
          COMPANY'S ACTUAL OR DEMONSTRATABLY ANTICIPATED RESEARCH OR
          DEVELOPMENT, OR (B) THE INVENTION RESULTS FROM WORK PERFORMED BY YOU
          FOR THE COMPANY.

     14.  EQUITABLE REMEDIES.

          The Executive represents and warrants that Executive has had an
opportunity to consult with Executive's attorney regarding this Agreement, has
thoroughly and completely reviewed this Agreement with that attorney, and fully
understands the contents hereof. Furthermore, the Executive acknowledges that
(a) a remedy at law for Executive's failure to comply with Sections 7 through 13
of this Agreement may be inadequate and (b) in the event of the Executive's
failure to comply with Sections 7 through 13 of this Agreement, the Company
shall be entitled to seek and obtain from a court having jurisdiction specific
performance, an injunction, a restraining order or any other equitable relief in
order to enforce any such provision.

<PAGE>

                                       -9-

The right to obtain such equitable relief shall be in addition to any other
remedy to which the Company is entitled under applicable law (including, but not
limited to, monetary damages).

     15.  TERMINATION.

     (a) This Agreement and the Executive's employment hereunder shall
automatically terminate upon the death or permanent disability of the Executive.
Permanent disability shall mean that the Executive is unable to substantially
perform Executive's duties under this Agreement for a continuous period of six
(6) months or for an aggregate of nine (9) months during any twelve (12) month
period, as determined by a physician selected by the Company (the "Disability
Determination Date") and reasonably satisfactory to the Executive (or if
Executive is unable to act, Executive's spouse or eldest child). The Executive
will cooperate in any physical examination conducted pursuant to this paragraph.
The foregoing is subject to the duty of the Company to provide reasonable
accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Upon the Executive's
death, all of Executive's (i) accrued but unpaid base salary and bonus, and (ii)
other benefits (but not including bonus) accrued as of the date of death, shall
immediately be payable to the Executive's estate. Upon Executive's permanent
disability, the Executive shall receive (i) all accrued but unpaid base salary
and bonus and (ii) other benefits (but not including bonus) accrued as of the
Disability Determination Date.

     (b) The Company may, at its sole option, terminate the Executive's
employment for cause upon written notice to the Executive. For purposes of this
Agreement, "cause" shall mean (i) a breach of any of the covenants contained in
Sections 7 through 13 of this Agreement, (ii) a material breach of or
substantial failure to perform any other obligation of the Executive under this
Agreement, provided, however, that if such breach or failure is a curable breach
or failure, such breach or failure was not cured within 30 days after written
notice was provided to the Executive, (iii) the conviction of the Executive for
a felony, (iv) a breach of any policy of the Company provided to the Executive
in writing, provided, however, that if such breach is a curable breach, such
breach was not cured within 10 days after written notice was provided to the
Executive, (v) recklessness or willful misconduct of the Executive in the
performance of Executive's duties, (vi) failure to implement IDEX corporate
procedures or directives provided to the Executive in writing, provided,
however, that if such failure is a curable failure, such failure was not cured
within 10 days after written notice was provided to the Executive, as determined
by Company in its reasonable discretion, or (vii) any fraudulent or dishonest
act by the Executive with respect to the Company. In the event that the
Executive's employment pursuant to this Agreement is terminated for cause, the
Executive shall receive no salary or other benefits pursuant to this Agreement
other than accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of termination.

     (c) In the event that (i) the Executive's employment pursuant to this
Agreement is terminated by the Company other than (A) for cause, or (B) by
reason of expiration of the term

<PAGE>

                                      -10-

of this Agreement whether by reason of delivery of a Non-Renewal Notice or
otherwise, or (ii) if the Executive terminates his employment for good reason,
as hereinafter defined, the Executive will receive all accrued but unpaid base
salary and benefits (but not including bonus) through the date of termination
and will continue to receive payments of base salary pursuant to Section 3(a) of
this Agreement for the period of (X) 18 months if the termination of employment
occurs within 24 months from the date of this Agreement or (Y) 12 months if the
termination of employment occurs after 24 months from the date of this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, "good reason" shall mean (i) material
reduction in the Executive's compensation, (ii) material demotion or reduction
in responsibilities or authority from that existing on the date of this
Agreement or the assignment to the Executive of duties or responsibilities that
are substantially inconsistent with his position as President of the Company,
(iii) the Company relocates the Executive's principal office more than 50 miles
from its location as of the date of this Agreement, or (iv) a material breach of
or substantial failure to perform any other obligation of the Company or IDEX
under this Agreement if such breach or failure, if curable, is not cured within
30 days after written notice is provided to the Company and IDEX. The Executive
shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment the Company becomes
obligated to make in connection with this subsection (c), by seeking other
employment or otherwise.

     (d) In the event that the Executive's employment pursuant to this Agreement
is terminated as a result of the voluntary termination by the Executive other
than for good reason, the Executive shall receive no salary or other benefits
pursuant to this Agreement other than accrued but unpaid base salary through the
date of termination.

     (e) In the event that this Agreement is not renewed and the Executive's
employment expires at the end of the term of this Agreement or is terminated by
the Company after the term of this Agreement other than for cause, the Company
shall pay to Executive upon such termination the amount provided for under the
Company's then existing severance policy.

     16.  FAILURE, DELAY OR WAIVER.

          No course of action or failure to act by the Company or the Executive
shall constitute a waiver by such party of any right or remedy under this
Agreement, and no waiver by either party of any right or remedy under this
Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing.

                                    -11-

     17.  SEVERABILITY.

          Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such a manner as to be enforceable under applicable law. However,
if any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed unenforceable under
applicable law by a court having jurisdiction, such provision shall be
unenforceable only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable without
invalidating the remainder thereof or any of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Executive acknowledges and agrees
that, if any part of the covenants contained in Sections 7 through 13 is deemed
to be overbroad or void as against public policy, such invalid portion shall be
severable from such covenants and, upon such event, the Executive requests that
such covenant be reformed ("blue-pencilled") to permit the Company and the
Affiliates to obtain the maximum permissible benefit from such covenants.

     18.  NOTICE.

          All written communications to a party required hereunder shall be in
writing and (a) delivered in person (to be effective when so delivered), (b)
mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested (to be
effective four days after the date it is deposited in the U.S. Mail), (c)
deposited with a reputable overnight courier service (to be effective two
business days after the delivery to such courier service), or (d) sent by
facsimile transmission (to be effective upon receipt by the sender of electronic

of the above methods, to the party at the address given below for such party (or

     19.  CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE.

          Each of the Company and the Executive hereby (a) consents to the
jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of
Indiana or, if such court does not have jurisdiction over such matter, the
applicable Superior Court, Montgomery County, State of Indiana, and (b)
irrevocably agrees that all actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to
this Agreement shall be litigated in such court. Each of the Company and the
Executive accepts for itself or himself and in connection with their properties,
generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the
aforesaid courts and waives any defense of forum nonconveniens or any similar
defense, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any non-appealable judgment
rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement.

     20.  MISCELLANEOUS.

          This Agreement (a) may not be amended, modified or terminated orally
or by any course of conduct pursued by the Company or the Executive, but may be
amended, modified or terminated only by a written agreement duly executed by the
Company and the Executive, (b) is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the
Company and the Executive and each of their respective heirs, representatives,
successors and assignees, except that the Executive may not assign any of
Executive's rights or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, (c) if assigned by
the Company, will be enforceable by the Executive against such assignee, (d)

<PAGE>

                                      -13-

agreements previously made or existing with respect to such subject matter, and
(e) shall be governed by, and interpreted and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

          The Company shall require any Successor (as defined below), by
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Executive, to
expressly and unconditionally assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the
same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform
it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such
agreement at or prior to the time a person becomes a Successor shall be a
material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to terminate
his employment for good reason pursuant to Section 15(c) hereof. For purposes of
this Agreement, "Successor" means any entity or other person that succeeds to
substantially all of the Company's business or assets, directly or indirectly,
by merger or consolidation, by purchase of all or substantially all of its
assets, or otherwise. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Company" means the
Company as hereinabove defined and any Successor as contemplated by this
paragraph.

     21.  THIS AGREEMENT CONTROLS.

the IDEX Corporation Corporate Governance Guidelines, and the IDEX Corporation
Executive Inventions and Proprietary Information Agreement executed by the

NAME: ____________________________   PLAN: IDEX CORPORATION INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN

ADDRESS: _________________________

TAXPAYER                             GRANT: ________ SHARES OF COMMON STOCK (THE
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: ___________          "RESTRICTED STOCK")

SIGNATURE: _______________________   GRANT DATE: _______________________________

Effective on the Grant Date you have been granted the Restricted Stock, in
accordance with the provisions of the IDEX Corporation Incentive Award Plan (the
"Plan") and subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth herein.

25% of the shares of Restricted Stock will vest and no longer be subject to the
restrictions of this Agreement on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, and
25% shall vest and no longer be subject to the restrictions of this Agreement on
the date of each anniversary thereafter, with full vesting on the fourth
anniversary of the Grant Date.

In the event of the termination of your employment or service for any reason,
whether such termination is occasioned by you, by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, with or without cause or by mutual agreement ("Termination of
Service"), your right to receive and/or vest in Restricted Stock under the Plan,
if any, will terminate effective as of the earlier of: (i) the date that you
give or are provided with written notice of Termination of Service, or (ii) if
you are an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the date that you
are no longer actively employed and physically present on the premises of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, regardless of any notice period or period of
pay in lieu of such notice required under any applicable statute or the common
law (each, the "Notice Period"). For greater clarity, you have no rights to
receive and/or vest in Restricted Stock during the Notice Period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Award shall be fully vested upon your
Termination of Service by reason of death, Disability, or upon a Change in
Control of the Company.

This award is not transferable except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.

The Company will cause to be issued one or more stock certificates, registered
in your name, evidencing the Restricted Stock of your Restricted Stock Award.
Each such certificate will bear the following legend:

          The shares of stock represented by this certificate are subject to
          forfeiture and the transferability of this certificate and the shares
          of stock represented hereby are subject to the restrictions, terms and
          conditions (including restrictions against transfer) contained in the
          IDEX Corporation Incentive Award Plan and a Restricted Stock Award
          Agreement dated [the Grant Date], entered into between the registered
          owner of such shares and IDEX Corporation. A copy of the Agreement is
          on file in

<PAGE>

          the office of the Secretary of IDEX Corporation, Suite 400, 630 Dundee
          Road, Northbrook, Illinois 60062.

Each such certificate, together with stock powers duly executed in blank related
to such Restricted Stock, will be deposited with the Secretary of the Company or
a custodian designated by the Secretary. The Secretary or custodian will issue a
receipt to you evidencing the certificates held that are registered in your
name. Until such certificates have been issued and registered in your name, you
will not be deemed for any purpose to be, or have rights as, a Company
shareholder by virtue of this award. After such time, you will receive all
dividends paid on and will be entitled to vote the Restricted Stock. Following
the vesting of any of your Restricted Stock, the Company will cause to be issued
and delivered to you certificates evidencing such Restricted Stock, free of the
legend provided above.

The Company has the authority to deduct or withhold, or require you to remit to
the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy applicable federal, state, local
and foreign taxes arising from this Restricted Stock Award. You may satisfy your
tax obligation, in whole or in part, by either: (i) electing to have the Company
withhold shares of your Restricted Stock otherwise to be delivered with a fair
market value equal to the minimum amount of the tax withholding obligation; or
(ii) surrendering to the Company previously owned Restricted Stock with a fair
market value equal to the minimum amount of the tax withholding obligation. If
you are subject to United Kingdom income tax and/or national insurance
contributions, the Company or any Subsidiary may withhold or collect any income
tax and national insurance contributions: (i) by deduction from salary or any
other payment payable to you at any time on or after the day an income tax
charge arises in respect of a Restricted Stock Award; (ii) directly from you by
payment of cleared funds; or (iii) by arranging for the sale of some of the
shares of Restricted Stock to which you are entitled.

You acknowledge and consent to the collection, use, processing and transfer of
personal data as described in this paragraph. The Company, its affiliates and
your employer hold certain personal information, including your name, home
address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other
employee tax identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares
of stock awarded, cancelled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in your
favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan ("Data"). The
Company and its affiliates will transfer Data to any third parties assisting the
Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These
recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, or elsewhere such as
the United States. You authorize them to receive, possess, use, retain and
transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of
implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan,
including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the
administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of shares of stock on
your behalf to a broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit
any shares of stock acquired pursuant to the Plan. You may, at any time, review
Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consent herein in
writing by contacting the Company; however, withdrawing the consent may affect
your ability to participate in the Plan.

Your participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of the Restricted Stock
Award is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of your
employment contract, if any. As such, the Restricted Stock Award is not part of
normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance,
resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards,
pensions or retirement benefits or similar payments unless specifically and
otherwise provided. Rather, the awarding of Restricted Stock under the Plan
represents a mere investment opportunity.

<PAGE>

This Restricted Stock Award is granted under and governed by the terms and
conditions of the Plan. You acknowledge and agree that the Plan is discretionary
in nature and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company, in its
sole discretion, at any time. The grant of a Restricted Stock Award under the
Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to
receive an award of Restricted Stock or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock in
the future. Future awards of Restricted Stock, if any, will be at the sole
discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the timing of the
award, the number of shares, vesting provisions, and the exercise price. The
Plan has been introduced voluntarily by the Company and in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan may be terminated by the Company at any time. By
execution of this Agreement, you consent to the provisions of the Plan and this
Agreement. Defined terms used herein shall have the meaning set forth in the
Plan, unless otherwise defined herein.

"Purchase Agreement") dated as of [September __, 2006] between IDEX Corporation
("IDEX") and the shareholders of the Company, the Company is becoming a direct
or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of IDEX. From and after the date of this
Agreement, the Company will conduct the Business (as defined in Section 10). It
is intended that this Agreement will be dated and become effective as of and
only upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement. As inducements to enter into this Agreement, Executive receives
additional compensation, including but not limited to that provided in Sections
3(b), 3(c) and 15(c), and the Company receives additional rights, including but
not limited to those provided in Sections 7 through 14, and the Executive and
the Company acknowledge that IDEX and its Affiliates are intended to be third
party beneficiaries of certain rights under this Agreement, including, but not
limited to, those provided in Section 7 through 14. Therefore, in consideration
of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the Company
and the Executive agree as follows:

     1.   EMPLOYMENT; TERM.

          Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the

earlier termination of the Executive's employment as provided in this Agreement.
Upon the expiration of the Initial Term, the term of this Agreement shall be
renewed automatically for successive additional one-year periods (each such
renewal period being referred to as an "Extended Term") unless either the
Company or the Executive delivers written notice to the other party that it does
not intend to renew this Agreement, at least 30 days prior to the end of the
Initial Term or an Extended Term, as the case may be (the "Non-Renewal Notice").
In the event that either the Company or the Executive delivers a Non-Renewal
Notice, this Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of the then-current
Initial Term or Extended Term, as the case may be. As used herein, the "term" of
this Agreement shall include the Initial Term and each Extended Term, if any.

Executive, (v) recklessness or willful misconduct of the Executive in the
performance of Executive's duties, (vi) failure to implement IDEX corporate
procedures or directives provided to the Executive in writing, provided,
however, that if such failure is a curable failure, such failure was not cured
within 10 days after written notice was provided to the Executive, as determined
by Company in its reasonable discretion, or (vii) any fraudulent or dishonest
act by the Executive with respect to the Company. In the event that the
Executive's employment pursuant to this Agreement is terminated for cause, the
Executive shall receive no salary or other benefits pursuant to this Agreement
other than accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of termination.

     (c) In the event that (i) the Executive's employment pursuant to this
Agreement is terminated by the Company other than (A) for cause, or (B) by
reason of expiration of the term

<PAGE>

                                      -10-

of this Agreement whether by reason of delivery of a Non-Renewal Notice or
otherwise, or (ii) if the Executive terminates his employment for good reason,
as hereinafter defined, the Executive will receive all accrued but unpaid base
salary and benefits (but not including bonus) through the date of termination
and will continue to receive payments of base salary pursuant to Section 3(a) of
this Agreement for the period of (X) 18 months if the termination of employment
occurs within 24 months from the date of this Agreement or (Y) 12 months if the
termination of employment occurs after 24 months from the date of this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, "good reason" shall mean (i) material
reduction in the Executive's compensation, (ii) material demotion or reduction
in responsibilities or authority from that existing on the date of this
Agreement or the assignment to the Executive of duties or responsibilities that

Company, (iii) the Company relocates the Executive's principal office more than
50 miles from its location as of the date of this Agreement, or (iv) a material
breach of or substantial failure to perform any other obligation of the Company
or IDEX under this Agreement if such breach or failure, if curable, is not cured
within 30 days after written notice is provided to the Company and IDEX. The
Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment the
Company becomes obligated to make in connection with this subsection (c), by
seeking other employment or otherwise.

     (d) In the event that the Executive's employment pursuant to this Agreement
is terminated as a result of the voluntary termination by the Executive other
than for good reason, the Executive shall receive no salary or other benefits
pursuant to this Agreement other than accrued but unpaid base salary through the
date of termination.

     (e) In the event that this Agreement is not renewed and the Executive's
employment expires at the end of the term of this Agreement or is terminated by
the Company after the term of this Agreement other than for cause, the Company
shall pay to Executive upon such termination the amount provided for under the
Company's then existing severance policy.

     16.  FAILURE, DELAY OR WAIVER.

          No course of action or failure to act by the Company or the Executive
shall constitute a waiver by such party of any right or remedy under this
Agreement, and no waiver by either party of any right or remedy under this
Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing.

     17.  SEVERABILITY.

          Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such a manner as to be enforceable under applicable law. However,
if any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed unenforceable under
applicable law by a court having jurisdiction, such provision shall be
unenforceable only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable without
invalidating the remainder thereof or any of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Executive acknowledges and agrees
that, if any part of the covenants contained in Sections 7 through 13 is deemed
to be overbroad or void as against public policy, such invalid portion shall be
severable from such covenants and, upon such event, the Executive requests that
such covenant be reformed ("blue-pencilled") to permit the Company and the
Affiliates to obtain the maximum permissible benefit from such covenants.

NAME: ____________________________   PLAN: IDEX CORPORATION INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN

ADDRESS: _________________________

TAXPAYER                             GRANT: ________ SHARES OF COMMON STOCK (THE
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: ___________          "RESTRICTED STOCK")

SIGNATURE: _______________________   GRANT DATE: ______________________

Effective on the Grant Date you have been granted the Restricted Stock, in
accordance with the provisions of the IDEX Corporation Incentive Award Plan (the
"Plan") and subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth herein.

25% of the shares of Restricted Stock will vest and no longer be subject to the
restrictions of this Agreement on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, and
25% shall vest and no longer be subject to the restrictions of this Agreement on
the date of each anniversary thereafter, with full vesting on the fourth
anniversary of the Grant Date.

In the event of the termination of your employment or service for any reason,
whether such termination is occasioned by you, by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, with or without cause or by mutual agreement ("Termination of
Service"), your right to receive and/or vest in Restricted Stock under the Plan,
if any, will terminate effective as of the earlier of: (i) the date that you
give or are provided with written notice of Termination of Service, or (ii) if
you are an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the date that you
are no longer actively employed and physically present on the premises of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, regardless of any notice period or period of
pay in lieu of such notice required under any applicable statute or the common
law (each, the "Notice Period"). For greater clarity, you have no rights to
receive and/or vest in Restricted Stock during the Notice Period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Award shall be fully vested upon your
Termination of Service by reason of death, Disability, or upon a Change in
Control of the Company.

This award is not transferable except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.

The Company will cause to be issued one or more stock certificates, registered
in your name, evidencing the Restricted Stock of your Restricted Stock Award.
Each such certificate will bear the following legend:

          The shares of stock represented by this certificate are subject to
          forfeiture and the transferability of this certificate and the shares
          of stock represented hereby are subject to the restrictions, terms and
          conditions (including restrictions against transfer) contained in the
          IDEX Corporation Incentive Award Plan and a Restricted Stock Award
          Agreement dated [the Grant Date], entered into between the registered
          owner of such shares and IDEX Corporation. A copy of the Agreement is
          on file in

Each such certificate, together with stock powers duly executed in blank related
to such Restricted Stock, will be deposited with the Secretary of the Company or
a custodian designated by the Secretary. The Secretary or custodian will issue a
receipt to you evidencing the certificates held that are registered in your
name. Until such certificates have been issued and registered in your name, you
will not be deemed for any purpose to be, or have rights as, a Company
shareholder by virtue of this award. After such time, you will receive all
dividends paid on and will be entitled to vote the Restricted Stock. Following
the vesting of any of your Restricted Stock, the Company will cause to be issued
and delivered to you certificates evidencing such Restricted Stock, free of the
legend provided above.

The Company has the authority to deduct or withhold, or require you to remit to
the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy applicable federal, state, local
and foreign taxes arising from this Restricted Stock Award. You may satisfy your
tax obligation, in whole or in part, by either: (i) electing to have the Company
withhold shares of your Restricted Stock otherwise to be delivered with a fair
market value equal to the minimum amount of the tax withholding obligation; or
(ii) surrendering to the Company previously owned Restricted Stock with a fair
market value equal to the minimum amount of the tax withholding obligation. If
you are subject to United Kingdom income tax and/or national insurance
contributions, the Company or any Subsidiary may withhold or collect any income
tax and national insurance contributions: (i) by deduction from salary or any
other payment payable to you at any time on or after the day an income tax
charge arises in respect of a Restricted Stock Award; (ii) directly from you by
payment of cleared funds; or (iii) by arranging for the sale of some of the
shares of Restricted Stock to which you are entitled.

You acknowledge and consent to the collection, use, processing and transfer of
personal data as described in this paragraph. The Company, its affiliates and
your employer hold certain personal information, including your name, home
address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other
employee tax identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares
of stock awarded, cancelled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in your
favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan ("Data"). The
Company and its affiliates will transfer Data to any third parties assisting the
Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These
recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, or elsewhere such as
the United States. You authorize them to receive, possess, use, retain and
transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of
implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan,
including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the
administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of shares of stock on
your behalf to a broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit
any shares of stock acquired pursuant to the Plan. You may, at any time, review
Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consent herein in
writing by contacting the Company; however, withdrawing the consent may affect
your ability to participate in the Plan.

Your participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of the Restricted Stock
Award is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of your
employment contract, if any. As such, the Restricted Stock Award is not part of
normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance,
resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards,
pensions or retirement benefits or similar payments unless specifically and
otherwise provided. Rather, the awarding of Restricted Stock under the Plan
represents a mere investment opportunity.

This Restricted Stock Award is granted under and governed by the terms and
conditions of the Plan. You acknowledge and agree that the Plan is
discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the
Company, in its sole discretion, at any time. The grant of a Restricted Stock
Award under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual
or other right to receive an award of Restricted Stock or benefits in lieu of
Restricted Stock in the future. Future awards of Restricted Stock, if any, will
be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the
tuning of the award, the number of shares, vesting provisions, and the exercise
price. The Plan has been introduced voluntarily by the Company and in accordance
with the provisions of the Plan may be terminated by the Company at any time. By
execution of this Agreement, you consent to the provisions of the Plan and this
Agreement. Defined terms used herein shall have the meaning set forth in the
Plan, unless otherwise defined herein.

<PAGE>

                                ESCROW AGREEMENT

          THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of October ___, 2006 is among IDEX
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation with a mailing address of 630 Dundee Road,
Suite 400, Northbrook, Illinois 60062 ("IDEX"); and JACK K. CANINE, an
individual residing at ____________, as agent and attorney-in-fact for Sellers
(as defined in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below)) (the "Sellers'
Representative"); and WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., with a principal place of business
at Sixth and Marquette, Minneapolis, Minnesota (the "Escrow Agent").

                                    RECITALS:

          A. IDEX and Sellers have entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated
September ___, 2006 (the "Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which IDEX has agreed
to purchase all of the shares of Banjo Corporation.

          B. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, certain funds are required to
be deposited from time to time with the Escrow Agent to be held and released by
the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase
Agreement and of this Agreement.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.   Definitions.

          (a) As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
     following meanings:

          established and maintained at the Escrow Agent's principal place of
          business for the purpose of receiving and holding all Escrow Funds in
          accordance with this Agreement.

               (ii) "Escrow Deposit" shall mean the $6,000,000 to be delivered
          by IDEX to the Escrow Agent on the date of this Agreement pursuant to
          Section 2 of this Agreement.

               (iii) "Escrow Funds" shall mean the Escrow Deposits and any
          Investment Income.

               (iv) "Interim Escrow Release Date" shall mean the business day
          following the date the final Closing Date Balance Sheet adjustment
          payments are made pursuant to Section 1.3(e) of the Purchase
          Agreement.

               (v) "Investment Income" shall mean all income which may from time
          to time be earned from the investment of the Escrow Funds.
<PAGE>

               (vi) "Principals" shall mean IDEX and Sellers' Representative.

          (b) Each capitalized term which is used in this Agreement but not
     defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning given it in the Purchase
     Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any contrary provisions of
     this Agreement, it is understood that the Escrow Agent is not a party to
     and has neither received nor read, nor does Escrow Agent consent to, any
     provisions of the Purchase Agreement. References in this Agreement to the
     Purchase Agreement are for reference by the Principals and Sellers only,
     and the parties agree that the Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for
     compliance with any provisions of the Purchase Agreement or any agreement
     other than this Agreement.

     2. Establishment of Escrow Account. On the date of this Agreement, the
Escrow Agent shall establish the Escrow Account to hold the Escrow Funds. On the
date of this Agreement, IDEX shall deliver the initial $6,000,000 Escrow Deposit
to the Escrow Agent by wire transfer. The Escrow Agent shall accept the Escrow
Deposit and shall hold and release the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement.

     3. Investments. Unless otherwise directed in writing by IDEX and Sellers'
Representative, the Escrow Funds shall be invested in (a) money market funds
having the highest rating possible from both Standard & Poors Ratings Group and
Moody's Investor Services or similar investment options offered by the Escrow
Agent as agreed to by IDEX and Sellers' Representative, (b) U.S. Dollar
denominated, direct, noncallable, full-faith-and-credit obligations of the
federal government of the United States of America, (c) certificates of deposit,
banker's acceptances or time deposits having maturities of ninety (90) days or
less from the date of acquisition and issued by a United States commercial bank
which has unsecured senior debt securities or letters of credit rated at least
P-1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or A-1 by Standard & Poor's Corporation,
or (d) commercial paper or securities with maturities of 90 days or less from
the date of IDEX rated at least P-1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and A-1
by Standard & Poor's Corporation (or, with respect to clauses (c) and (d) above,
if neither of such rating agencies is then providing ratings, the equivalent
thereof by another investor service of comparable national recognition selected
by Sellers and reasonably acceptable to IDEX), as directed by Sellers'
Representative. It is agreed among the parties that the Escrow Funds will
initially be deposited in the Fund identified on the attached Exhibit E. All
Investment Income shall become part of the Escrow Funds. Sellers' Representative
will provide the Escrow Agent with a W-9 or W-8 IRS tax form for each Seller on
the date of this Agreement. Sellers shall be liable for all taxes attributable
to the Investment Income that is distributed to them hereunder. Unless
prohibited by law, the Escrow Agent shall report to the IRS all such Investment
Income as being taxable to Sellers. Unless required by law, the Escrow Agent
shall not report to the IRS any Investment Income as being taxable to IDEX,
unless such Investment Income is distributed to IDEX. If the Escrow Agent is
required by law to report any of the Investment Income that has not been
distributed to IDEX as being taxable to IDEX, the Escrow Agent shall be required
to distribute Escrow Funds to IDEX in an amount equal to IDEX's tax liability
arising from such Investment Income within thirty (30) days of IDEX notifying
the Escrow Agent of the amount of such tax liability. If the distribution of
this tax amount is considered additional taxable income to IDEX, the Escrow
Agent shall be required to distribute additional Escrow Funds to IDEX as gross
up payments to put IDEX in the same after-tax position as if the distribution of
such tax

                                       -2-

<PAGE>

amounts were not taxable income to IDEX. A statement of citizenship will be
provided if requested by the Escrow Agent.

     4. Release of Escrow Funds. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
no portion of the Escrow Funds shall be released unless and until any of the
following conditions shall have occurred:

          (a) (i) In the event that IDEX determines that IDEX is entitled to a
          payment pursuant to Section 1.3(e)(ii) of the Purchase Agreement or
          indemnification under Article VI of the Purchase Agreement against
          Sellers, IDEX shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice
          signed by IDEX in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A ("IDEX
          Indemnification Notice") specifically directing that the Escrow Agent
          release from the Escrow Account and deliver to IDEX Escrow Funds in an
          amount equal to the payment claimed pursuant to Section 1.3(e)(ii) of
          the Purchase Agreement or pursuant to the Loss claimed pursuant to
          Article VI of the Purchase Agreement (the "Claimed Loss"). If the
          Escrow Agent shall not have received from Sellers' Representative,
          within thirty (30) days after the date that the IDEX Indemnification
          Notice is received by the Escrow Agent, a written notice signed by
          Sellers' Representative in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B
          ("Sellers' Indemnification Objection Notice"), the Escrow Agent shall
          release from the Escrow Account and deliver to IDEX Escrow Funds in an
          amount equal to the Claimed Loss. IDEX covenants that an IDEX
          Indemnification Notice shall be given simultaneously to Sellers'
          Representative and to the Escrow Agent and Sellers' Representative
          covenants that a Sellers' Indemnification Objection Notice shall be
          given simultaneously to IDEX and to the Escrow Agent, in each case as
          provided for in Section 10 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything
          to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that a
          Sellers' Indemnification Objection Notice is delivered to the Escrow
          Agent in accordance with this Agreement, the Escrow Funds shall not be
          released by the Escrow Agent except in accordance with another
          subsection of this Section 4 or as provided elsewhere in this
          Agreement.

               (ii) If the Escrow Agent shall have received a Sellers'
          Indemnification Objection Notice from Sellers' Representative within
          thirty (30) days after the date that the IDEX Indemnification Notice
          is received by the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall continue to
          hold the Claimed Loss in the Escrow Account until receipt of either
          (A) joint written instructions from IDEX and Sellers' Representative
          reasonably satisfactory to Escrow Agent; or (B) a final order,
          judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, provided the
          Escrow Agent received a certified copy of such order, judgment or
          decree, accompanied by an opinion of counsel to the effect that such
          order, judgment or decree represents a final adjudication of the
          rights of the parties by a court of competent jurisdiction and that
          the time for appeal from such order, judgment or decree has expired
          without an appeal having been filed. Any balance of the Claimed Loss
          not covered by (A) or (B) shall be held and/or released by the Escrow
          Agent as if such IDEX Indemnification Notice had never been given.

                                       -3-

<PAGE>

          (b) On or promptly after the first day of each calendar quarter, the
     Escrow Agent shall release from the Escrow Account and distribute to
     Sellers all Investment Income in the Escrow Account; provided, however,
     that the Escrow Agent shall not so release any Escrow Funds except to the
     extent that after such release there shall be at least (i) $6,000,000
     remaining in the Escrow Account, if such release is before the release of
     Escrow Funds pursuant to Section 4(c) of this Agreement or (ii) $5,000,000
     remaining in the Escrow Account, if such release is after the release of
     Escrow Funds pursuant to Section 4(c) of this Agreement.

          (c) On the Interim Escrow Release Date, or as soon thereafter as the
     Escrow Agent is notified of such date by both IDEX and Sellers'
     Representative, the Escrow Agent shall release from the Escrow Account and
     distribute to Sellers all Escrow Funds in excess of $5,000,000.

          (d) On April __, 2008, (i) Sellers' Representative shall deliver to
     the Escrow Agent a written notice signed by Sellers' Representative in the
     form of Exhibit C ("Sellers' Distribution Notice") notifying the Escrow
     Agent of the portion of the Escrow Funds which Sellers believe is subject
     to claim by IDEX and requesting delivery of the balance of the Escrow Funds
     (the "Sellers' Distribution Amount") to Sellers as described in the
     Sellers' Distribution Notice and (ii) IDEX shall deliver to the Escrow
     Agent a written notice signed by IDEX in the form of Exhibit D ("IDEX
     Distribution Notice") notifying the Escrow Agent of the portion of the
     Escrow Funds which IDEX believes are subject to claim by IDEX and
     acknowledging Sellers' entitlement to the balance of the Escrow Funds (the
     "IDEX Distribution Amount"). Promptly after the later receipt of the
     Sellers' Distribution Notice or the IDEX Distribution Notice, the Escrow
     Agent shall release from the Escrow Account and deliver to Sellers Escrow
     Funds in an amount equal to the lesser of the Sellers' Distribution Amount
     and the IDEX Distribution Amount. If the Escrow Agent shall not have
     received from IDEX within thirty (30) days after the date that the Sellers'
     Distribution Notice is received by the Escrow Agent, an IDEX Distribution
     Notice, then the Escrow Agent shall release from the Escrow Account and
     deliver to Sellers Escrow Funds in an amount equal to the Sellers'
     Distribution Amount. The parties agree that a Sellers' Distribution Notice
     must be given simultaneously to IDEX as well as to the Escrow Agent and an
     IDEX Distribution Notice must be given simultaneously to Sellers'
     Representative as well as the Escrow Agent, in each case as provided in
     Section 10 of this Agreement.

          (e) If at any time, a written notice signed by IDEX and Sellers'
     Representative is delivered to the Escrow Agent specifically directing
     delivery of all or any portion of the Escrow Funds to IDEX or Sellers, then
     the Escrow Agent shall release from the Escrow Account and deliver to IDEX
     or Sellers, as the case may be, the Escrow Funds in accordance with such
     notice.

          (f) Unless otherwise directed by written notice signed by Sellers'
     Representative, all amounts to be distributed to Sellers pursuant to this
     Agreement shall be distributed to a single account designated by Sellers'
     Representative, and Sellers' Representative shall bear all responsibility
     for distributing such amount to each Seller in

                                       -4-

<PAGE>

     accordance with his, her, or its pre-closing pro rata interest in Banjo
     Corporation as set forth on Exhibit F.

     5. Compliance with Court Orders. If any property subject to this Agreement
shall be at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order or
in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such
property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order,
writ, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such
property or any part thereof, then in any of such events the Escrow Agent is
authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order,
writ, judgment or decree which the Escrow Agent is advised by legal counsel of
its own choosing (including internal counsel) is binding; and if the Escrow
Agent complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree the Escrow Agent
shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person, firm or
corporation by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment
or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or
vacated. The Escrow Agent shall promptly forward to IDEX and Sellers'
Representative by one of the methods described in Section 10 copies of all legal
documents served on or otherwise received by the Escrow Agent relating to any of
the proceedings described in this Section 5.

     6. Proof of Conditions for Release. The Escrow Agent may refuse to release
any part of the Escrow Funds under Section 4 of this Agreement unless it has
been fully satisfied that each written notice referred to in Section 4 contains
the genuine signature of a Principal or the Principals. Nothing herein shall
require the Escrow Agent to establish the genuineness of any signature but,
instead, the Escrow Agent may in good faith rely upon any signature appearing to
be that of a Principal as being genuine and/or duly authorized, in the absence
of actual knowledge to the contrary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall act upon receipt of the documents in the
forms attached hereto as Exhibits A through D and shall have no responsibility
for verifying any of the contents thereof.

     7. Term. This Agreement shall remain in effect until one of the following
conditions occurs:

          (a) The Principals shall have jointly given 30 days' advance written
     notice of the cancellation of the designation of the Escrow Agent to act
     and serve in such capacity, which notice shall contain directions to the
     Escrow Agent for delivery of the Escrow Funds;

          (b) The Escrow Agent shall have resigned upon 30 days' advance written
     notice to the Principals;

          (c) There shall have been full compliance with the terms of this
     Agreement and the release of all of the Escrow Funds; or

          (d) A court of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final order
     or judgment ordering the termination of this Agreement, and all appeals of
     such order or judgment shall have been exhausted or all periods in which to
     take an appeal shall have expired without an appeal being taken.

                                       -5-

<PAGE>

          In the event that the Escrow Agent resigns pursuant to subsection (b)
of this Section and the Principals fail to agree on a successor escrow agent
within the 30-day notice period, the Escrow Agent shall deposit the Escrow Funds
into the registry of an appropriate court and request judicial determination of
the rights between the Principals, by interpleader or other appropriate action,
and the Principals hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold the
Escrow Agent harmless from and against any damages or losses in connection
therewith including, but not limited to attorneys' fees and court costs at all
trial and appellate levels. Upon termination of the duties of Escrow Agent as
set forth in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, the Escrow Agent shall
deliver the Escrow Funds to the newly appointed escrow agent designated by the
Principals (or shall otherwise dispose of the Escrow Funds as instructed by the
Principals in writing), and the Escrow Agent shall not otherwise have the right
to withhold the Escrow Funds from the newly appointed escrow agent.

     8. Escrow Agent Fees. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to compensation
for services in accordance with the fee schedule attached hereto as Schedule A.
Without limiting the provisions of Schedule A, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to
reimbursement for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such
expenses may include the compensation and expenses of the Escrow Agent's
counsel, including the allocated costs of internal counsel. Such expenses shall
include the cost of legal review of this Agreement, which fees shall be billed
at the closing of the funding of this Agreement. All such fees, costs, expenses
and attorneys' fees shall be paid directly from the Investment Income and, to
the extent the Investment Income is insufficient, shall be borne equally by IDEX
and Sellers. If the Escrow Agent's fees, costs, expenses or attorneys' fees
provided for herein are not promptly paid, Escrow Agent shall have the right to
reimbursement from the Escrow Funds.

     9. Liability and Indemnification of Escrow Agent. IDEX and Sellers hereby
agree that the duties of the Escrow Agent are purely ministerial in nature and
shall be expressly limited to the safekeeping of the Escrow Funds and the
disposition of the same in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. IDEX and
Sellers hereby agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Escrow Agent and
hold it harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages,
costs, penalties, losses, actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity, or
any other expenses, fees or charges of any character or nature, which the Escrow
Agent may incur or with which it may be threatened, directly or indirectly,
arising from or in any way connected with this Agreement or which may result
from the Escrow Agent's following of instructions from either or both of the
Principals in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in
connection therewith, to indemnify the Escrow Agent against any and all
expenses, including attorneys' fees (including the allocated cost of internal
counsel) and the cost of defending any action, suit or proceeding or resisting
any claim, whether or not litigation is instituted, but nothing herein shall be
construed to so indemnify the Escrow Agent to the extent that it is determined
that the Escrow Agent has acted in a grossly negligent or intentionally wrongful
manner. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable, directly or indirectly,
for any special or consequential damages, even if the Escrow Agent has been
advised of the possibility of such damages. The Escrow Agent shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to consult with counsel or other such
professionals of choice and shall not be liable for action taken or omitted to
be taken by Escrow Agent in accordance with the advice of such counsel or other
such professionals. The Escrow Agent may in all cases pay such compensation to
such counsel and

                                       -6-

<PAGE>

shall be entitled to reimbursement as set forth in Section 8 for all such
compensation paid. The Escrow Agent may perform its duties through its
agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees. The provisions of this Section
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

     10. Notices. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, any agreement,
notice, request, instruction or other communication to be given hereunder by any

          (a) shall be under no obligation to act, except under process or order
     of court, or until it has been adequately indemnified and held harmless to
     its full satisfaction, and shall sustain no liability for its failure to
     act pending such process, court order or indemnification; and

          (b) may, in its sole and absolute discretion, interplead that portion
     of Escrow Funds it then holds with any court of competent jurisdiction, and
     name the Principals as parties in such interpleader action. Upon filing the

     its reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in commencing and
     maintaining such action. In no event shall the institution of such

same to the extent possible.

     15. Merger or Consolidation. Any corporation or association into which the
Escrow Agent may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated,

predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or paper or the
performance any further act.

Re: Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 8, 2006

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Banjo Corporation, an Indiana corporation (the
"Company"), and its shareholders (the "Sellers"), in connection with the Stock
Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 8, 2006 (the "Agreement"), among the
Sellers, the Company and you, as Buyer, relating to the purchase by Buyer of all
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of The Company. This opinion is being
delivered to you at the request of Sellers and the Company pursuant to Section
7.l(i) of the Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise
defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined the Agreement and the Escrow
Agreement as referred to therein and such corporate records, certificates and
other documents, and such questions of law, as we have considered necessary or
appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. Upon the basis of such
examination, we advise you that, in our opinion:

          (1) The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing
     under the laws of the State of Indiana, and has all requisite power and
     authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry
     on its business as now being conducted, to execute and deliver the
     Agreement, to perform its obligations thereunder and to consummate the
     transactions contemplated thereby.

          (2) The execution and delivery of the Agreement by the Company, the
     performance of the Agreement by the Company and the consummation of the
     transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all
     necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and no other
     proceeding on the part of the Company is necessary to authorize the
     Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

          (3) The execution and delivery of the Agreement by the Company do not,
     and the performance of the Agreement by the Company and the consummation of
     the transactions contemplated thereby will not, (a) (i) conflict with or
     violate the articles of incorporation or bylaws, in each case as amended or
     restated, of the Company, (b) conflict with or violate any United States
     federal, state, local or foreign law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation,
     order, judgment or decree applicable to the Company or by or to which any
     of its properties or assets is bound or subject or (iii) to our knowledge,
     result

<PAGE>

     in any breach of, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or
     lapse of time or both would constitute a default) under, or give to others
     any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or
     require payment under, or result in the creation of any Lien on any of the
     Shares pursuant to, any Contract to which the Company is a party or by
     which any of its properties or assets is bound or (b) require the Company
     to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or to make any
     filing with or notification to, any Governmental Entity or, to our
     knowledge, any third party, in each case which has not been obtained or
     made.

          (4) The Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company
     and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company,
     enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to
     bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
     similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors'
     rights and to general equity principles; provided, however, that we express
     no opinion as to the enforceability of Section 9.12 of the Agreement.

          (5) Each of the Agreement and the Escrow Agreement has been duly
     executed and delivered by each Seller that is a party thereto and
     constitutes the valid and binding obligation of each Seller, enforceable
     against such Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy,
     insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar
     laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights
     and to general equity principles; provided, however, that we express no
     opinion as to the enforceability of Section 9.12 of the Agreement.

          (6) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000
     shares of Common Stock. Based solely on the stock transfer records of the
     Company, 20,844 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding owned of
     record solely by the Sellers in the respective amounts set forth in Section
     2.4(a) of the Disclosure Schedule. To our knowledge and except as set forth
     in Section 2.4(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, no shares of Common Stock are
     reserved for future issuance pursuant to outstanding stock options,
     warrants, convertible securities or other agreements or commitments of any
     character relating to the issued or unissued capital stock or other
     securities of the Company.

We also confirm to you that, to our knowledge, except as set forth in Section
2.14 of the Disclosure Schedule, (i) there is no claim, action, suit, proceeding
or investigation of any kind, at law or in equity (including actions or
proceedings seeking injunctive relief), by or before any Governmental Entity
pending or, to the knowledge of Sellers, threatened against the Company or its
assets or properties, and (ii) the Company is not a party or subject to or in
default under any judgment, order, decree or settlement agreement that imposes
restrictions on the Company with respect to its business operations.

With your approval, for purposes of this opinion we have relied as to certain
matters on information obtained from public officials, officers of the Company
and other sources believed by us to be responsible, and we have assumed that
each of the Agreement and the Escrow Agreement is a valid and binding obligation
of each party thereto other than the Company and

the Sellers and that the signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine,
assumptions which we have not independently verified.

We express no opinion herein as to any matters governed by any laws other than
the federal laws of the United States, the laws of the State of Indiana and the
laws of the State of New York.

This opinion is furnished to you solely for your benefit in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement and may not, without our prior
written consent, be furnished to or relied upon for any purpose by any other
person.

Very truly yours,
