      This Amendment reflects the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons (e.g., it includes Shares issuable
upon conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock). However, shares of Class A
Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share and shares of Class B Common
Stock are entitled to 10 votes per share. Therefore, the number of shares over
which each Reporting Person has sole or shared voting power is not reflective of
their voting power so long as they beneficially own shares of Class B Common
Stock.

      (c)(i) On October 25, 1995, the Family Trust converted an aggregate of
             48,000 shares of Class B Common Stock

             Offering at a per share price, net of underwriting discounts and
             commissions, of $23.98.

        (ii) On October 25, 1995, Christopher S. Pascucci converted an aggregate
             of 100,000 shares of Class B Common Stock into an equivalent number
             of shares of Class A Common Stock and sold an aggregate of 150,000
             shares of Class A Common Stock in the Offering at a per share
             price, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, of $23.98.

             price, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, of $23.98.

        (iv) On October 25, 1995, the MAP Trust converted an aggregate of 1,000
             shares of Class B Common Stock into an equivalent number of shares
             of Class A Common Stock and sold an aggregate of 75,000 shares of
             Class A Common Stock in the Offering at a per share price, net of
             underwriting discounts and commissions, of $23.98.

             Class A Common Stock in the Offering. On January 3, 1996, Mr. Danzi
             granted 69,400 shares of Class B Common Stock to the Danzi CRT. On
             January 31, 1996, the Danzi CRT distributed 628 shares of Class B
             Common Stock to Mr. Danzi in accordance with the terms of such
             trust's Indenture.

        (vi) On October 25, 1995, each of Mark Freeman and Dawn Pascucci Barnard
             sold 75,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in the Offering at a per
             share price, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, of

             certain of the Reporting Persons from certain trusts of shares of

ownership interest of the MAP Trust decreased below 5.0% as of such date.

Item 6.     Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With

Barnett Banks, Inc.
50 North Laura Street
Jacksonville, Florida 32202

Gentlemen:

            Each of the undersigned (a "Stockholder") beneficially owns and has
sole voting power with respect to the number of shares of Class A common stock,
par value $0.01 per share, and Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share
(collectively, the "Shares"), of Oxford Resources Corp., a New York corporation
(the "Company"), indicated opposite such Stockholder's name below.

            Simultaneously with the execution of this letter agreement, Barnett
Banks, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Parent"), and the Company are entering into
an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") providing, among other
things, for the merger of a subsidiary of Parent with and into the Company (the
"Merger"). We understand that Parent has undertaken and will continue to
undertake substantial expenses in connection with the negotiation and execution
of the Merger Agreement and the subsequent actions necessary to consummate the
Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

            In consideration of, and as a condition to, Parent's entering into
the Merger Agreement, and in consideration of the expenses incurred and to be
incurred by Parent in connection therewith, each Stockholder agrees as follows:

            1. Each Stockholder shall vote or cause to be voted for the approval
of the Merger Agreement and the Merger, and shall vote or cause to be voted
against the approval of any other Acquisition Transaction (as such term is
defined in the Stock Option Agreement, dated as of January 14, 1997, between the
Company and Parent), all of the Shares that such Stockholder shall be entitled
to

so vote, whether such Shares are held by such Stockholder on the date of this
letter agreement or are subsequently acquired in any fashion, including, without
limitation, pursuant to the exercise of stock options or conversion of shares of
Class B Common Stock.

            2. Each Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, assign,
transfer or otherwise dispose of (including, without limitation, (i) by the
creation of a Lien (as defined in paragraph 3 below) (ii) the transfer or
exchange of Class B Common Stock for Class A Common Stock) or permit to be sold,
assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of any Shares owned by such
Stockholder, whether such Shares are held by such Stockholder on the date of
this letter agreement or are subsequently acquired in any fashion, including,
without limitation, pursuant to the exercise of stock options or conversion of
shares of Class B Common Stock, except for transfers by will or by operation of
law or, in the case of a trust, as required by the governing trust documents (in
which case this letter agreement shall bind the transferee). Any sale,
assignment, transfer or other disposition in violation of the provisions hereof
shall be null and void.

            3. Each Stockholder severally represents that such Stockholder has
the complete and unrestricted power and the unqualified right to enter into and
perform the terms of this letter agreement. Each Stockholder further severally
represents that this letter agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement
with respect to such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with
its terms. Each Stockholder severally represents that such Stockholder owns the
number of Shares indicated opposite such Stockholder's name below, free and
clear of any liens, claims, charges or other encumbrances and restrictions of
any kind whatsoever ("Liens"), and has sole and unrestricted voting power with
respect to such Shares.

            4. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the agreements
contained herein shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (i)
the consummation of the Merger or (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement
in accordance with Article VIII thereof, except that any such termination shall
be without prejudice to your rights arising out of any breach of any agreement
or representation contained herein.

            5. Each Stockholder has signed this letter agreement intending to be
bound severally thereby and not to be bound as joint obligors.

            6. This letter agreement is to be governed by the laws of the State
of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws
thereof. If any provision hereof is deemed unenforceable, the enforceability of
the other provisions hereof shall not be affected.

letter.

                                                                  Conformed Copy





                          AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

         AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of January 14, 1997, by and
among Barnett Banks, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Parent"), a corporation to be

subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub") and Oxford Resources Corp., a corporation
organized under the laws of the State of New York (the "Company").

         WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Parent and the Company have
determined that it is in the best interests of their respective companies and
their shareholders to consummate the business combination transaction provided
for herein in which Merger Sub will, subject to the terms and conditions set

         WHEREAS, the parties desire to make certain representations, warranties
and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe certain

representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and intending to be
legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:


                                 Page 74 of 171

                                   ARTICLE I

                                  THE MERGER

         1.1. The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
in accordance with the applicable provisions of the New York Business
Corporation Law (the "BCL"), at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2
hereof), Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company (the "Merger"). The
Company shall be the surviving corporation (hereinafter sometimes called the
"Surviving Corporation") in the Merger, and shall continue its existence as a
corporation under the laws of the State of New York. The name of the Surviving
Corporation shall be Oxford Resources Corp. Upon consummation of the Merger, the
separate existence of Merger Sub shall terminate.

         1.2. Effective Time; Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall become
effective as set forth in the certificate of merger (the "Certificate of
Merger") which shall be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of New
York (the "Secretary") on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 9.1 hereof).
The term "Effective Time" shall be the date and time when the Merger becomes
effective, as set forth in the Certificate of Merger. At and after the Effective
Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 906 of the BCL.

         1.3. Conversion of Company Common Stock. (a) At the Effective Time,
subject to Section 2.2(e) hereof, each share of the Class A Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Class A Common Stock") and each share
of the Class


                                 Page 75 of 171
<PAGE>

B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Class B Common
Stock" and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the "Company Common Stock")
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than
Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 1.3(b) hereof) and other than shares of
Company Common Stock owned directly or indirectly by Parent or the Company
(except for shares held in managed accounts, trust accounts or otherwise in a
fiduciary capacity that are beneficially owned by third parties) shall, by
virtue of this Agreement and without any action on the part of the holder
thereof, be converted into and exchangeable for .9085 shares (the "Exchange
Ratio") of the common stock, par value $2.00 per share, of Parent (together with
the number of Parent Rights (as defined in Section 4.2 hereof) associated
therewith) ("Parent Common Stock"). All of the shares of Company Common Stock
converted into Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Article I shall no longer be
outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and
each certificate (each a "Certificate") previously representing any such shares
of Company Common Stock shall thereafter only represent the right to receive (i)
the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock and (ii) the cash in lieu of
fractional shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company Common
Stock represented by such Certificate have been converted pursuant to this
Agreement. Certificates previously representing shares of Company Common Stock
shall be exchanged for certificates representing whole shares of


                                 Page 76 of 171
<PAGE>

Parent Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares issued in
consideration therefor upon the surrender of such Certificates in accordance
with Section 2.2 hereof, without any interest thereon. If prior to the Effective
Time, Parent should split or combine the Parent Common Stock, or pay a dividend
or other distribution in the Parent Common Stock, then the Exchange Ratio shall
be appropriately adjusted to reflect such split, combination, dividend or
distribution. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock owned
directly or indirectly by Parent or the Company (except for shares in managed
accounts, trust accounts or otherwise is a fiduciary capacity that are
beneficially owned by third parties) shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist
and no stock of Parent or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange
therefor.

         (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any
shares of Company Common Stock which are outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time and which are held by shareholders who shall not have voted such
shares in favor of the Merger and who shall have filed with the Company a
written objection to the Merger and a demand for appraisal of such shares in the
manner provided in Section 623 of the BCL ("Dissenting Shares") shall not be
converted into the right to receive, or be exchangeable for, the consideration
provided for in Section 1.3(a) hereof, but, instead, the holders thereof shall
be entitled to payment of the appraised value of such Dissenting Shares in
accordance with the provisions of Section 623 of the


                                 Page 77 of 171
<PAGE>

BCL. The Company shall (x) give Parent prompt written notice of the receipt of
any notice from a shareholder of his intent to demand payment for his shares,
(y) not settle or offer to settle any such demands without the prior written
consent of Parent and (z) not, without the prior written consent of Parent,
waive any failure to timely deliver a written objection to the Merger and a
demand for appraisal of such shares in accordance with Section 623 of the BCL.

            1.4. Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each option granted by
the Company to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Company's
1993 Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan") which is outstanding and
unexercised immediately prior thereto shall be converted automatically into an
option to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock in an amount and at an exercise
price determined as provided below (and otherwise be subject to the terms of the
Stock Option Plan):

                        (i) The number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be
            subject to the new option shall be equal to the product of the
            number of shares of Class A Common Stock subject to the original
            option and the Exchange Ratio, provided that any fractional shares
            of Parent Common Stock resulting from such multiplication shall be
            rounded down to the nearest share; and


                                 Page 78 of 171
<PAGE>

                        (ii) The exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock
            under the new option shall be equal to the exercise price per share
            of Class A Common Stock under the original option divided by the
            Exchange Ratio, provided that such exercise price shall be rounded
            up to the nearest cent. 

            The adjustment provided herein with respect to any options which
are "incentive stock options" (as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")) shall be and is intended to be effected
in a manner which is consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code. The duration
and other terms of the new option shall be the same as the original option,
except that all references to the Company shall be deemed to be references to
Parent.

            1.5. Parent Common Stock. The shares of Parent Common Stock issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be unaffected by
the Merger and at the Effective Time, such shares shall remain issued and
outstanding.

            1.6. Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock. At the Effective Time,
each of the shares of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger,
automatically and without any action on the part of Parent, become and be
converted into one share of Class A Common Stock, which shall thereafter
constitute


                                 Page 79 of 171
<PAGE>

all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Surviving
Corporation.

            1.7. Restated Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws. At the
Effective Time, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Restated
Certificate") and By-laws of the Company, as in effect at the Effective Time,
shall be the Restated Certificate and By-laws of the Surviving Corporation.

            1.8. Directors and Executive Officers. The directors and executive
officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time along with such
directors and officers that Parent shall designate shall be the directors and
executive officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in
accordance with the Restated Certificate and By-Laws of the Surviving
Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and
qualified.

            1.9. Tax Consequences. It is intended that the Merger constitute a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this
Agreement constitute a "plan of reorganization" for purposes of Section 368 of
the Code.

                                  ARTICLE II

                              EXCHANGE OF SHARES

            2.1. Parent to Make Shares Available. At or prior to the Effective
Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust
company (the "Exchange Agent"), selected by Parent and reasonably satisfactory
to the Company, for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock, for


                                 Page 80 of 171
<PAGE>

exchange in accordance with this Article II, certificates representing the
shares of Parent Common Stock and the cash in lieu of fractional shares (such
cash and/or certificates for shares of Parent Common Stock, together with any
dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to
as the "Exchange Fund") to be issued pursuant to Section 1.3(a) and paid
pursuant to Section 2.2(a) in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common
Stock.

            2.2. Exchange of Shares. (a) As soon as practicable after the
Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of
Company Common Stock as of the Effective Time a form letter of transmittal
(which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title
to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the
Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the
Certificates in exchange for certificates representing the shares of Parent
Common Stock and the cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the shares of
Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate shall have been converted
pursuant to the Merger. Upon surrender of a Certificate for exchange and
cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal,
duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in
exchange therefor (x) a certificate representing that number of whole shares of
Parent Common Stock to which such holder of Company Common Stock shall have
become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Article I hereof


                                 Page 81 of 171
<PAGE>

and (y) a check representing the amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of
Parent Common Stock, if any, which such holder has the right to receive in
respect of the Certificate surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this
Article II, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No
interest will be paid or accrued on the cash in lieu of fractional shares and
unpaid dividends and distributions, if any, payable to holders of Company Common
Stock.

                  (b) No dividends or other distributions declared after the
Effective Time with respect to Parent Common Stock and payable to the holders of
record thereof shall be paid to the holder of any shares of Company Common Stock
until the holder thereof shall surrender the Certificate representing such
shares in accordance with this Article II. After such surrender, the record
holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other
distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become
payable with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder shall
become entitled pursuant to Article I hereof.

                  (c) If any certificate representing shares of Parent Common
Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate
surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the
issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed
(or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in
proper form for transfer, and that the person


                                 Page 82 of 171
<PAGE>

requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer
or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate representing
shares of Parent Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered
holder of the Certificate surrendered, or required for any other reason, or
shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been
paid or is not payable.

                  (d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on
the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of Company Common Stock
which were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If,
after the Effective Time, Certificates representing such shares are presented
for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for
certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock as provided in this
Article II.

                  (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock
shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, no dividend or
distribution with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be payable on or with
respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not
entitle the owner thereof to voting rights or to any other rights of a
shareholder of Parent. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share,
Parent shall pay to each former shareholder of the Company who otherwise would
be entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock


                                 Page 83 of 171
<PAGE>

an amount in cash determined by multiplying (i) the average of the closing sales
prices of Parent Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") as
reported by The Wall Street Journal (or, if not reported thereby, another
authoritative source) for the five trading days immediately preceding the date
on which the Effective Time shall occur by (ii) the fraction of a share of
Parent Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive
pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof.

                  (f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by
the shareholders of the Company for six months after the Effective Time shall be
paid to Parent. Any shareholders of the Company who have not theretofore
complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment
of their shares of Parent Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares and
unpaid dividends and distributions on the Parent Common Stock deliverable in
respect of each share of Company Common Stock such shareholder holds as
determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest
thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Company, the
Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of
shares of Company Common Stock for any amount properly delivered to a public
official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

                  (g) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen
or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person
claiming such Certificate to be lost,


                                 Page 84 of 171
<PAGE>

stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such person of a
bond in an amount equal to such value as indemnity against any claim that may be
made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue
in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the shares of Parent
Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares and unpaid dividends and
distributions on the Parent Common Stock deliverable in respect thereof pursuant
to this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE III

                 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

            The Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows:

            3.1. Corporate Organization. (a) The Company is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
New York. The Company has the corporate power and authority to own or lease all
of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being
conducted, and is duly licensed or qualified to do business in each jurisdiction
in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location
of the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or
qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified
has not had and would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect
(as defined below) on the Company. Attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 are true,
complete and correct


                                 Page 85 of 171

the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or
qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified
has not had and would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect
on the Company. The certificate of incorporation, by-laws or similar governing
documents of each Subsidiary of the Company, copies of which have previously
been delivered to Parent, are true, com-


                                 Page 86 of 171

favorable determination letter from the IRS, or (2) is or will be the subject of
an application for a favorable determination letter, and the Company is not
aware of any circumstances likely to result in the revocation or denial of any
such favorable determination letter, (iii) with respect to each Plan which is
subject to Title IV of ERISA, the present value of accrued benefits under such

Plan, did not, as of its latest valuation date, exceed the then current value of
the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits, (iv) no Plan

Company, its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate beyond their retirement or

each Plan in respect of current or prior plan years have been paid or accrued in
accordance with GAAP and Section 412 of the Code, (viii) neither the Company,
its Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction in
connection with which the Company, its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate could
be subject to either a civil penalty assessed pursuant to Section 409 or 502(i)
of ERISA or a tax imposed pursuant to Section 4975 or 4976 of the Code, (ix)
there are no pending, or, to the Best Knowledge of the Company, threatened or
anticipated claims (other than routine claims for benefits) by, on behalf of or
against any of the Plans or any trusts related thereto and (x) the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not (A) entitle any
current or former employee or officer of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate to
severance pay, termination pay or any other payment, except as expressly
provided in this Agreement or (B) accelerate the time of payment or vesting or
increase the amount of compensation due any such employee or officer.

respect under any, applicable law, statute, order, rule, regulation, policy
and/or guideline of any Governmental Entity relating to the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, each statute, rule or
regulation set forth under the caption "Regulatory Matters" contained in the
10-K), except where the failure to hold such license, franchise, permit or
authorization or such noncompliance or default has not had and would not,

Adverse Effect on the Company, and neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries knows of, or has received any notice of, any material violations of

any of their respective Subsidiaries to any director, officer or employee
thereof, (iii) which is a material contract (as defined in Item 601(b)(10) of

by this Agreement. Each contract, arrangement, commitment or understanding of
the type described in this Section 3.14(a), whether or not set forth in Section

Disclosure Schedule, (i) each Company Contract is valid and binding and in full
force and effect, (ii) the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have in all
material respects performed all obligations required to be performed by it to

Material Adverse Effect on the Company, (iii) no event or condition exists which
constitutes or, after notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute, a

Adverse Effect on the Company and (iv) no other party to such Company Contract

<PAGE>

            3.15. SEC Reports. The Company has previously made available to
Parent an accurate and complete copy of each (a) final registration statement,
prospectus, report, schedule and definitive proxy statement filed since December
1, 1993 by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), or the rules and regulations of the SEC (the "Company Reports")
and (b) communication mailed by the Company to its shareholders since December
1, 1993, and no such Company Report or communication contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, except that
information as of a later date shall be deemed to modify information as of an
earlier date. The Company has timely filed all Company Reports and other
documents required to be filed by it pursuant to the Act and the Exchange Act,
and, as of their respective dates, all Company Reports complied in all material
respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect
thereto.

            3.16. Undisclosed Liabilities. Except (a) as set forth in Section
3.16 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, (b) for those liabilities that are
fully reflected or reserved against on the consolidated balance sheet of the
Company and its Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996, (c) for expenses incurred in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement


                                 Page 107 of 171
<PAGE>

and (d) for liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent
with past practice since June 30, 1996 that, either alone or when combined with
all similar liabilities, have not had, and could not reasonably be expected to
have, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, neither the Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries has incurred any liability of any nature whatsoever (whether
absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due).

            3.17. State Takeover Laws. Assuming the accuracy of the
representation set forth in Section 4.14, the Company has taken all such actions
so that the provisions of Section 912 of BCL will not apply to this Agreement or
any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and no other state takeover law
imposes requirements on this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

            3.18. Property. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has good
and marketable title free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, mortgages,
pledges, charges, defaults or equitable interests to all of the properties and
assets, real and personal, tangible or intangible, which, individually or in the
aggregate, are material, and which are reflected on the balance sheet of the
Company as of June 30, 1996 or acquired after such date, except for (i) liens
for taxes not yet due and payable, (ii) such imperfections of title, easements
and encumbrances, if any, as are not material in character, amount or extent or
(iii) dispositions and encumbrances of, or on, such properties or assets for


                                 Page 108 of 171
<PAGE>

adequate consideration in the ordinary course of business. All leases pursuant
to which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, as lessee, leases real or
personal property which, individually or in the aggregate, are material are
valid and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms and neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the Best Knowledge of the Company,
any other party thereto is in default in any material respect thereunder.

            3.19.  Reorganization.  The Company has no reason to
believe that the Merger will fail to qualify as a reorganization
under Section 368(a) of the Code.

            3.20. Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain
insurance in amounts reasonably necessary for their operations and, to the Best
Knowledge of the Company, similar in scope and coverage to that maintained by
other entities engaging in the same businesses. Since June 30, 1996, neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have received any notice of a premium
increase or cancellation with respect to any of its insurance policies or bonds,
and since December 31, 1993, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and the Company has
no reason to believe that existing insurance coverage cannot be renewed as and
when the same shall expire, upon terms and conditions as favorable as those
presently in effect, other than possible increases in premiums or unavailability
in coverage that


                                 Page 109 of 171
<PAGE>

have not resulted from any extraordinary loss experience of the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company.

            3.21. Intellectual Property. Except as set forth in Section 3.21 of
the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess
all trademarks, service marks, trade names, licenses, copyrights and proprietary
or other confidential information currently employed by them in connection with
their respective businesses, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has
received any notice of infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of any
third party with respect to any of the foregoing which, individually or in the
aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would
be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

            3.22 Environmental Matters. (a) Except as set forth in Section
3.22(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, each of the Company and its
Subsidiaries is in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws
and with the requirements set forth in Section 8.3 of the Agreement of Sale,
dated August 28, 1995, regarding the purchase by a Subsidiary of the Company of
real property located in New Jersey (the "New Jersey Property"). Except as set
forth in Section 3.22(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any communication (written or oral),
whether from a Governmental Entity, citizens group, employee or otherwise, that
alleges that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is not in


                                 Page 110 of 171
<PAGE>

such material compliance, and to the Best Knowledge of the Company, there are no
circumstances that may prevent or interfere with such material compliance in the
future. There has been no change in the use of the New Jersey Property since the
closing of the Company's purchase thereof in November, 1995.

                  (b) Except as set forth in Section 3.22(b) of the Company
Disclosure Schedule, there is no Environmental Claim pending or, to the Best
Knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or, to the Best Knowledge of the Company, against any person or
entity whose liability for any Environmental Claim the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries has or may have retained or assumed either contractually or by
operation of law.

                  (c) Except as set forth in Section 3.22(c) of the Company
Disclosure Schedule, there are no past or present actions, activities,
circumstances, conditions, events or incidents, including, without limitation,
the release, emission, discharge or disposal of any Material of Environmental
Concern, that could form the basis of any material Environmental Claim against
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the Best Knowledge of the Company,
against any person or entity whose liability for any Environmental Claim the

contractually or by operation by law.

chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, wastes, toxic substances, petroleum and
petroleum products.

            3.23. Contracts and Leases. (a) Except where the failure,

not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, all

thereto, that it was required to file since December 31, 1991 with any
Governmental Entity and has paid all fees and assessments due and payable in

                                 Page 123 of 171

fiscal years 1993 through 1995, inclusive, as reported in Parent's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 filed with the SEC

10-Q for the period ended September 30, 1996 filed with the SEC under the

financial position of Parent and its Subsidiaries as


                                 Page 124 of 171
<PAGE>

of the date thereof, and the other financial statements referred to in this
Section 4.5 (including the related notes, where applicable) fairly present, and
the financial statements of Parent referred to in Section 6.8 will fairly
present (subject, in the case of the unaudited statements, to recurring audit
adjustments normal in nature and amount), the results of the consolidated
operations and changes in shareholders' equity and consolidated financial
position of Parent and its Subsidiaries for the respective fiscal periods or as
of the respective dates therein set forth; each of such statements (including
the related notes, where applicable) comply, and the financial statements of
Parent referred to in Section 6.8 will comply, in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and with the published rules and regulations
of the SEC with respect thereto; and each of such statements (including the
related notes, where applicable) has been, and the financial statements of
Parent referred to in Section 6.8 will be, prepared in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied during the periods involved, except as indicated in the
notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by Form
10-Q. The books and records of Parent and its Subsidiaries have been, and are
being, maintained in all material respects in accordance with GAAP and any other
applicable legal and accounting requirements and reflect only actual
transactions.

            4.7. Broker's Fees. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries nor
any of their respective officers or directors


                                 Page 125 of 171

has employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any broker's
fees, commissions or finder's fees in connection with any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, except that Parent has engaged, and will pay a
fee or commission to, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("Morgan") in accordance
with the terms of a letter agreement between Morgan and Parent, a true, complete
and correct copy of which has been previously delivered by Parent to the
Company.

            4.8. Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as may be set
forth in Section 4.8 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, since December 31, 1995,
no event, circumstance or condition has occurred or has failed to occur which
has caused, or is reasonably likely to cause, individually or in the aggregate,
a Material Adverse Effect on Parent.

            4.9. Legal Proceedings. Except as set forth in Section 4.9 of the
Parent Disclosure Schedule, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is a
party to any, and there are no pending or, to the best of Parent's knowledge,
threatened, legal, administrative, arbitral or other proceedings, claims,
actions or governmental or regulatory investigations of any nature against
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or challenging the validity or propriety of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as to which there is a
reasonable probability of an adverse determination and which, if adversely
determined, would, individually or in the aggregate, have or be reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent or materially impair the
ability of the


                                 Page 126 of 171
<PAGE>

Company or Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. There is

properties which has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material
Adverse Effect on Parent.

Subsidiaries hold, and have at all times held, all material licenses,
franchises, permits and authorizations necessary for the lawful conduct of their
respective businesses under and pursuant to all, and have complied with and are
not in default in any respect under any, applicable law, statute, order, rule,
regulation, policy and/or guideline of any Governmental Entity relating to
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, except where the failure to hold such
license, franchise, permit or authorization or such noncompliance or default
would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or be reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent, and neither Parent nor any of its


                                 Page 127 of 171

or the Exchange Act (the "Parent Reports") and (b) communication mailed by
Parent to its shareholders since January 1, 1994, and no such registration
statement, prospectus, report, schedule, proxy statement or communication
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading, except that information as of a later date shall be deemed to modify
information as of an earlier date. Parent has timely filed all Parent Reports
and other documents required to be filed by it under the Act and the Exchange

material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with
respect thereto.

or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement, the S-4 or any other
statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Parent, the
Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to


                                 Page 137 of 171

any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

            6.2. Access to Information. (a) Upon reasonable notice and subject
to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, the Company shall
afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other
representatives of Parent, access, during normal business hours during the
period prior to the Effective Time, to all its properties, books, contracts,
commitments, records, officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other
representatives and, during such period, the Company shall make available to
Parent (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other
document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements
of applicable Federal or state laws (other than reports or documents which the
Company is not permitted to disclose under applicable law) and (ii) all other
information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent may
reasonably request. The Company shall not be required to provide access to or to
disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice
the rights of the Company's customers, jeopardize any attorney-client privilege
or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty
or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The
parties hereto will make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under
circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

                  (b) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws
relating to the exchange of information, Parent shall, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel and
other representatives of the Company, access, during normal business hours
during the period prior to the Effective Time, to such information regarding
Parent and its Subsidiaries as shall be reasonably necessary for the Company to
confirm that the representations and warranties of Parent contained herein are
true and correct and that the covenants of Parent contained herein have been
performed in all material respects. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries
shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such
access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights of Parent's
customers, jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or contravene any law, rule,
regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered
into prior to the date of this Agreement. The parties hereto will make
appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the
restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

                  (c) All information furnished by a party to the other party or
its representatives pursuant hereto shall be treated as the sole property of the
furnishing party and, if the Merger shall not occur, each party receiving
information and its representatives shall return to the furnishing party all of
such written information and all documents, notes, summaries or other


                                 Page 139 of 171
<PAGE>

materials containing, reflecting or referring to, or derived from, such
information. Each party receiving information shall, and shall use its best
efforts to cause its representatives to, keep confidential all such information,
and shall not directly or indirectly use such information for any competitive or
other commercial purpose. The obligation to keep such information confidential
shall continue for five years from the date the proposed Merger is abandoned and
shall not apply to (i) any information which (w) was already in the receiving
party's possession prior to the disclosure thereof by the furnishing party; (x)
was then generally known to the public other than as a result of disclosure by
the receiving party in violation of the provisions hereof; (y) was already in
the receiving party's possession as a result of the pre-existing business
relationship between the receiving party and the furnishing party or (z) was
disclosed to the receiving party by a third party not known by the receiving
party to be bound by an obligation of confidentiality or (ii) disclosures made
as required by law. If the receiving party is requested or required (by oral
question or request for information or documents in legal proceedings,
interrogatories, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to
disclose any information concerning the receiving party, the receiving party
will promptly notify the furnishing party of such request or requirement so that
the furnishing party may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive the
receiving party's compliance with the provisions or this Agree-


                                 Page 140 of 171
<PAGE>

ment. It is further agreed that, if in the absence of a protective order or the
receipt of a waiver hereunder the receiving party is nonetheless, in the opinion
of its counsel, compelled to disclose information concerning the furnishing
party to any tribunal or governmental body or agency or else stand liable for
contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, the receiving party may disclose
such information to such tribunal or governmental body or agency to the extent
necessary to comply with such order as advised by counsel without liability
hereunder.

                  (d) No investigation by either of the parties or their
respective representatives shall affect the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements of the other set forth herein.

            6.3. Legal Conditions to Merger. Each of Parent and the Company
shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use their best efforts (a) to take,
or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply
promptly with all legal requirements which may be imposed on such party or its
Subsidiaries with respect to the Merger and, subject to the conditions set forth
in Article VII hereof, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and (b) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other party to obtain)
any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any
Governmental Entity and any other third party which is required to be obtained
by the Company or Parent or any of their


                                 Page 141 of 171
<PAGE>

respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (it being understood that each party shall be
responsible for obtaining all such consents, authorizations, orders or approvals
from such parties with whom it is in contractual privity or from such
Governmental Entities that such party is required to obtain under the applicable
law, statute, order, rule, regulation, policy and/or guideline), and to comply
with the terms and conditions of such consent, authorization, order or approval.

            6.4. Affiliates. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause
each director, executive officer and other person who is an "affiliate" (for
purposes of Rule 145 under the Act) of the Company to deliver to the Parent, as
soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, a written agreement, in
the form of Exhibit 6.4 hereto.

            6.5. Employee Benefit Plans. Parent agrees to use its best efforts
to provide to all eligible employees of the Company who remain employees of the
Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time ("Continuing Employees")
employee welfare and pension benefits substantially equivalent (in the
aggregate) to either (i) those uniformly provided from time to time to similarly
situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries or (ii) those currently
provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries.

            6.6. Indemnification. (a) Following the Effective Time, Parent shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless each


                                 Page 142 of 171
<PAGE>

person who is or was prior to Effective Time an officer or a director of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, an "Indemnified Party") against all
losses, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses in advance
of the final disposition of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation
to each Indemnified Party upon receipt of any undertaking required by applicable
law), claims, damages or liabilities arising out of actions or omissions
occurring on or prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement) to the full extent provided under
New York law and the Restated Certificate and Bylaws of the Company as in effect
on the date hereof to the extent any such provisions are, at the time
indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.6(a) is sought, permitted under New
York law. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this
Section 6.6, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or
investigation, shall notify Parent thereof, provided that the failure to so
notify shall not affect the obligations of Parent under this Section 6.6 except
to the extent such failure to notify materially prejudices Parent. Parent's
obligations under this Section 6.6 continue in full force and effect for a
period of six (6) years from the Effective Time; provided, however, that all
rights to indemnification in respect of any claim (a "Claim") asserted or made
within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such Claim.


                                 Page 143 of 171
<PAGE>

                  (b) In connection with its indemnification obligations
hereunder, Parent shall have the right to assume the defense of any Claim and
upon such assumption Parent shall not be liable to any Indemnified Party for any
legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by
any Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except that if
Parent elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties
reasonably advises the Indemnified Parties that there are issues which raise
conflicts of interests between Parent and the Indemnified Parties, the
Indemnified Parties may retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to them after
consultation with Parent, and Parent shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses
of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties. Parent shall be obligated pursuant
to this paragraph to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified
Parties. Parent shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its
prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

                  (c) The provisions of this Section 6.6 are intended to be for
the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or
her heirs and representatives.

            6.7.  Stock Exchange Listing.  Parent shall use all
reasonable efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to

<PAGE>

the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance, as of the
Effective Time.

            6.8. Subsequent Interim Financial Statements. As soon as reasonably
available, but in no event more than 45 days after the end of each fiscal
quarter ending after September 30, 1996 (other than the last quarter of each
party's respective fiscal year), each party will deliver to the other party such
delivering party's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as filed with the SEC under
the Exchange Act, and as soon as reasonably available, but in no event more than
90 days after the end of each fiscal year, each party will deliver to the other
party such delivering party's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC
under the Exchange Act.

            6.9. Advice of Changes. Parent and the Company shall promptly advise
the other party of any change or event having a Material Adverse Effect on it or
which it believes would or would be reasonably likely to cause or constitute a
material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained
herein. From time to time prior to the Effective Time (and on the date prior to
the Closing Date), each party will promptly supplement or amend the Disclosure
Schedules delivered in connection with the execution of this Agreement to
reflect any matter which, if existing, occurring or known at the date of this
Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such
Disclosure Schedules or which is necessary to correct any information in such
Disclosure Schedules which has been rendered


                                 Page 145 of 171

inaccurate thereby. No supplement or amendment to such Disclosure Schedules
shall have any effect for the purpose of determining satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Sections 7.2(a) or 7.3(a) hereof, as the case may be, or
the compliance by the Company or Parent, as the case may be, with the respective
covenants and agreements of such parties contained herein.

            6.10. Current Information. During the period from the date of this
Agreement to the Effective Time, the Company will cause one or more of its
designated representatives to confer on a regular and frequent basis (not less
than monthly) with designated representatives of Parent and to report the
general status of the ongoing operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
Each of the parties will promptly notify the other of any material change in the
normal course of business or in the operation of the properties of it or any of
its Subsidiaries and of any governmental complaints, investigations or hearings
(or communications indicating that the same may be contemplated), or the
institution or the threat of significant litigation involving it or any of its
Subsidiaries, and will keep the other fully informed of such events.

            6.11. Merger Sub. Parent shall cause Merger Sub to be duly organized
and to execute and deliver a letter agreeing to be bound by this Agreement and
to take all necessary action to complete the transactions contemplated hereby,
subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

            6.12. Accountant's Letter. The Company shall use its reasonable
efforts to cause to be delivered to Parent a letter of its independent public
accountants dated (i) the date on which the S-4 shall become effective and (ii)

substance customary for "comfort" letters delivered by independent accountants

Subsidiaries to, use reasonable efforts to finance all automobile leases

pre-payment penalties that could be imposed on the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.

            6.15. Termination of Certain Activities. (a) Immediately prior to
the Effective Time, the Company shall termi- nate the management services

            (b) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall
terminate (on terms reasonably satisfactory to Parent) any activities conducted

applicable to Parent or its Subsidiaries.

have been obtained, except where the failure to obtain such consent, approval or
waiver would not so materially adversely affect the economic or business

render inadvisable, in the reasonable good faith judgment of Parent, the
consummation of the Merger.

                  (d) No Pending Governmental Actions. No proceeding initiated
by any Governmental Entity seeking an Injunction shall be pending.

Company as a result of the Merger. In rendering such opinion, counsel to Parent

contrary contained herein, in the event this condition is satisfied, Parent
shall not be entitled to assert any breach by the Company of any representation,
warranty or covenant to the extent such representation, warranty or covenant
relates to the obtaining of the approvals contemplated by this Section 7.2(j).

                                 Page 153 of 171
<PAGE>

as of an earlier date) as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the

shall be true and correct in all respects as of the date of this Agreement and

provided, however, that for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the
condition contained in this clause (II), no effect shall be given to any
exception in such representations and warranties relating to materiality or a
Material Adverse Effect, and provided, further, however, that, for purposes of
this clause (II), such representations and warranties shall be deemed to be true
and correct in all respects unless the failure or failures of such
representations and warranties to be so true and correct, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a Material Adverse Effect on Parent. The Company shall have
received a certificate signed on behalf of Parent by the Chief Executive Officer
and the Chief Financial Officer (or other appropriate executive officers
reasonably satisfactory to the Company) of Parent to the foregoing effect.

transactions contemplated hereby under any loan or credit agreement, note,
mortgage, indenture, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is otherwise bound, except those
for which failure to obtain such consents and approvals would not, individually
or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent (after giving
effect to the transactions contemplated hereby), shall have been obtained.

                  (d) No Pending Governmental Actions. No proceeding initiated
by any Governmental Entity seeking an Injunction shall be pending.

                  (e) Federal Tax Opinion. The Company shall have received an
opinion of Rosenman & Colin LLP (the "Company's Counsel"), in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, dated as of the Effective Time,
substantially to the effect that, on the basis of facts, representations and
assumptions set forth in such opinion which are consistent with the state of
facts existing at the Effective Time, the Merger will be treated as a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)


                                 Page 155 of 171
<PAGE>

            in Parent Common Stock);

                        (iii) The aggregate tax basis of the Parent Common Stock
            received by shareholders who exchange all of their Company Common
            Stock solely for Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Merger will be
            the same as the aggregate tax basis of the Company Common Stock
            surrendered in exchange therefor. 

            In rendering such opinion, the Company's Counsel may require and
rely upon representations and covenants contained in certificates of officers of
Parent, the Company and others.

            (f) Legal Opinion. The Company shall have the received the opinion

New York law, of local counsel to Parent) as to the matters set forth in Exhibit
7.3(f).

                                 ARTICLE VIII

                           TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT

            8.1. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior
to the Effective Time:

                  (a) by mutual consent of the Company and Parent in a written
instrument, which consent in the case of the Company shall require a vote of a
majority of the members of the Company's entire Board of Directors;

                  (b) by either Parent or the Company upon written notice to the
other party (i) 30 days after the date on which any request or application for a
Requisite Regulatory Approval shall have been denied or withdrawn at the request
or recommendation of the Governmental Entity which must grant such Requisite
Regulatory Approval, unless within the 30-day period following such denial or
withdrawal a petition for rehearing or an amended application has been filed
with the applicable Governmental Entity, provided, however, that no party shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(i) if
such denial or request or recommendation for withdrawal shall be due to the
failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe
the covenants and agreements of such party set forth herein or (ii) if any
Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final
nonappealable


                                 Page 157 of 171
<PAGE>

order enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of any
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

                  (c) by either Parent or the Company if the Merger shall not
have been consummated on or before September 30, 1997, unless the failure of the
Closing to occur by such date shall be due to the failure of the party seeking
to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the covenants and agreements
of such party set forth herein;

                  (d) by either Parent or the Company (provided that the
terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein) if there shall have been
a material breach of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this
Agreement on the part of the other party, which breach is not cured within
thirty days following written notice to the party committing such breach, or
which breach, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Closing; provided,
however, that neither party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) unless the breach of representation or warranty,
together with all other such breaches, would entitle the party receiving such
representation not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby under
Section 7.2(a) (in the case of a breach of representation or warranty by the
Company) or Section 7.3(a) (in the case of a breach of representation or
warranty by Parent);

                  (e) by either Parent or the Company (provided that the
terminating party is not then in material breach of any


                                 Page 158 of 171
<PAGE>

representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein) if there
shall have been a material breach of any of the covenants or agreements set
forth in this Agreement on the part of the other party, which breach shall not
have been cured within thirty days following receipt by the breaching party of
written notice of such breach from the other party hereto; or

                  (f) by either Parent or the Company (provided that the Company
shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section
8.1(f) if it is in material breach of any of its obligations under Section
6.1(b) and any related obligations hereunder) if any approval of the
shareholders of the Company required for the consummation of the Merger shall
not have been obtained at a duly held meeting of such shareholders or at any
adjournment or postponement thereof.

            8.2. Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this
Agreement by either Parent or the Company as provided in Section 8.1, this
Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect except (i) Section
6.2(c) and Sections 8.2 and 9.4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement,
(ii) no party shall have any liability hereunder arising out of such party's
non-willful breach of any provision of this Agreement and (iii) that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no party
shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of its
willful breach of any provision of this Agreement.

            8.3. Amendment. Subject to compliance with applicable law, this
Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by
their respective Boards of Directors; provided, however, there may not be,
without further approval of the shareholders of the Company, any amendment of
this Agreement which reduces the amount or changes the form of the consideration
to be delivered to the shareholders of the Company hereunder. This Agreement may
not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of
the parties hereto.

            8.4. Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the
parties hereto, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the
performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto,
(b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained
herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance
with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the
part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if
set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party, but such
extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an
obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of,
or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

                                  ARTICLE IX

                              GENERAL PROVISIONS

            9.1. Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the closing of the Merger (the "Closing") will take place at 10:00 a.m. on a
date to be specified by the parties, which unless Parent shall in its sole
discretion determine otherwise, shall be the first day which is (a) at least ten
business days after the satisfaction or waiver (subject to applicable law) of
the latest to occur of the conditions set forth in Article VII hereof and (b)
the first or last business day of a month (the "Closing Date"), at the offices
of Parent.

            9.2. Alternative Structure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall be
entitled to revise the structure of the Merger in order to provide that Merger
Sub shall be owned by a Subsidiary of Parent provided that any such revised
structure shall (i) not subject any of the shareholders of the Company to
adverse tax consequences or change the amount of consideration to be received by
such shareholders, (ii) not materially delay the Closing and (iii) not
jeopardize the satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article VII.
This Agreement and any related documents shall be appropriately amended in order
to reflect any such revised structure.

            9.3. Nonsurvival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. None
of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement
or in any instrument delivered


                                 Page 161 of 171
<PAGE>

pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time, except for those
covenants and agreements contained herein and therein which by their terms apply
in whole or in part after the Effective Time.

            9.4. Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the
party incurring such expense, provided, however, that the costs and expenses of
printing and mailing the Information Statement to the shareholders of the
Company, and all filing and other fees paid to the SEC or any other Governmental
Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated
hereby, shall be borne equally by Parent and the Company.

            9.5. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall

                        Attn:  Joseph L. Getraer, Esq.

            9.6. Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to
Sections, Exhibits or Schedules, such reference shall be to a Section of or
Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The phrases
"the date of this Agreement", "the date hereof" and terms of similar import,
unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to refer to January 14,
1997.
            9.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,

            9.8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the documents, the
Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule and the instruments
referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof.

            9.9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any
applicable conflicts of law principles thereof.

            9.10. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without
rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this
Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this
Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted
to be only so broad as is enforceable.

            9.11. Publicity. Except as otherwise re- quired by law or the rules
of the NYSE or NASDAQ, so long as this Agreement is in effect, neither Parent
nor the Company shall, or shall permit any of its Subsidiar-

ies to, issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public
announcement with respect to, or otherwise make any public statement concerning,
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the consent of the other
party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

            9.12. Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this
Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be
assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise)
without the prior written consent of the other parties. Subject to the preceding
sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement is not intended to confer
upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

            9.13. Enforcement of Agreement. The parties hereto agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event that the provisions contained in
this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or
were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement
and to enforce specifically the terms and provi-


                                 Page 165 of 171

sions hereof in any court of the United States or any state thereof having
jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are
entitled in law or in equity.

            9.14. Waiver. In any proceeding by or against the Company or any of
its current shareholders (collectively, the "Company Parties") (x) wherein
Parent, Merger Sub or the corporation surviving the Merger (the "Surviving
Corporation" and, together with Parent and Merger Sub, the "Parent Parties")
assert or prosecute any claim under, or otherwise seek to enforce, this
Agreement or any document, instrument or agreement executed and delivered in
connection therewith or (y) wherein the Company Parties assert or prosecute any
claim under, or otherwise seek to enforce this Agreement or any document,
instrument or agreement executed and delivered in connection therewith, each of

any of the Parent Parties nor its counsel will move to seek disqualification of
Rosenman & Colin LLP and (ii) to consent to the representation of any Company
Party by Rosenman & Colin LLP, notwithstanding that Rosenman & Colin LLP has or
