("Casella") and Rutland Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Casella, and on December 14, 1999, Rutland Acquisition Sub, Inc. merged with and
into the Company and the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Casella.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Casella assumed the obligations of the Company under
