         AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS AND REAL PROPERTY

    This agreement is made as of August 6, 1997, at Los Angeles, California,
between Bonded Motors (Buyer), a California corporation, of Los Angeles, 
California and Wheelers Manufacturing Company, Inc. ("Corporation" or 
"Seller"), a Georgia corporation, and Charles H. Wheeler (Shareholder) of 
Macon, Georgia.  Shareholder and Corporation are collectively referred to in 
this agreement as Selling Parties.

    A.  Buyer desires to purchase from Corporation and Corporation desires to
sell to Buyer, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this agreement,
all the business and properties of Corporation in exchange for the purchase
price described in paragraphs 1.2 and 1.8; Shareholder desires that this
transaction be consummated. 

     In consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements, representations,
and warranties contained in this agreement, the parties agree as follows:

                                 ARTICLE ONE
                    PURCHASE OF ASSETS AND REAL PROPERTY

    1.1.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement,
Corporation will sell, convey, transfer, assign, and deliver to Buyer, and
Buyer will purchase from Corporation, free and clear of any and all liens and
encumbrances, the following assets of the Corporation:  (1) all inventory,
supplies, and work in progress relating solely to the automobile engine
re-manufacturing business of the Corporation; (2) all furniture, fixtures,
machinery and equipment as listed in the appraisal dated November 22, 1996, by
the Dobbins Co., Atlanta, Georgia, and as subsequently amended; and (3) all
goodwill, trade and other intangible assets, excluding only cash, accounts
receivable and life insurance policies, of the Corporation.  The foregoing
assets are collectively the "Assets".  A definitive list of the Assets is set
forth in Exhibit 1.1-1 to this Agreement.  Exhibit 1.1-2 is the bill of sale
setting forth the sale of the Assets in this section.

    1.2.  Buyer shall deliver at the Closing, in accordance with the provisions
of Article 8, the following:  A bank wire transfer, payable to the account of
Wheelers Manufacturing Company, Inc., in the amount of $569,657.70 
("Purchase Price").  Said Purchase Price covers Buyer's purchase of the Assets
set forth in Paragraph 1.1 above, the saleable inventory of raw materials
(cores and purchased parts), work in progress and finished goods integral to
the engine re-manufacturing business on the date of Closing at the cost carried
on the books and records of the Corporation, and the covenant of noncompetition
set forth in paragraph 1.5, below.  Furthermore, the Purchase Price shall be
reduced by the amount determined under paragraphs 1.3, 1.8, and 4.13, if any.

    1.3.  In consideration of Corporation taking the Corporation off the
market, Buyer shall pay into escrow an earnest money binder of $25,000.  The
earnest money including interest thereon shall be fully refundable to the

                                     1

<PAGE>

Buyer, regardless whether the sale of Assets is consummated or not.  Therefore,
the full amount of the earnest money will be applied as a credit on the
Purchase Price of the sale of the Assets (set forth in Paragraph 1 hereinabove)
at such Closing. If the sale of the Assets is not consummated, the full amount
of the earnest money will be immediately returned to Buyer.  The escrow holder
shall be the attorney for the Selling Parties, Martin, Snow, Grant & Napier,
who shall deposit and hold the earnest money binder in his trust account until
either this Agreement is consummated or terminated.  Upon termination for any
reason, the escrow holder shall immediately return the funds to Buyer without
respect to any claim or offset by Selling Parties against Buyer.  Upon
consummation of this Agreement, the escrow holder shall remit the funds to the
Selling Parties and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted with a credit for such
payment.

    1.4.  Buyer shall later determine how the purchase price for the Assets
shall be allocated to the Assets, and Selling Parties shall not object to any
reasonable allocation made by Buyer.  Each of the parties must report this
transaction for federal tax purposes in accordance with this allocation of the
purchase price.

    1.5.  Shareholder is entitled to the payment of $25,000 to be allocated
from the Purchase Price for a noncompetition covenant as more fully provided
in paragraph 9.5.

    1.6.  Corporation will pay all sales and use taxes arising from the
transfer of the Assets and will pay its portion, prorated as of the closing
date, of state and local real and personal property taxes of the business.
Buyer will not be responsible for any business, occupation, withholding, or
similar tax, or any taxes of any kind related to any period before the closing
date.

    1.7.  Buyer will assume no liabilities of the Corporation.  For a period of
twelve (12) months following the Closing of the sale of the Assets, Buyer shall
assist Selling Parties by providing notice of any warranty claims submitted to
the Buyer by mail at an address to be provided by Seller. 

    1.8.  Buyer will engage Geomatrix Consultants to conduct a Phase I and
Phase II Environmental Assessment, the cost of which will be approved in
advance and shared by Corporation and Buyer equally, and the results of such
assessments shall be kept confidential.  After the assessment is completed, if,
in Buyer's sole discretion, the assessment shows no environmental concerns,
Buyer will purchase the land and buildings (hereinafter "real estate" or
"property") from Selling Parties for Five Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand and
No/100 Dollars ($575,000) payable in cash at Closing.  If the environmental
assessment finds that immediate or future remediation is necessary, and if the
estimated cost of remediation is not more than One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand
Dollars ($125,000), Selling Parties agree to sell the real estate as provided
above, and such sale will be closed with funds set aside from the purchase
price to pay for the estimated remediation cost.  If the estimated cost of
remediation is more than $125,000, Selling Parties will retain the property
with a lease to Buyer as set out below.  Notwithstanding any other provision
in this Paragraph, if in Buyer's sole discretion the environmental survey shows

                                     2

<PAGE>

a problem and Corporation is unable to correct that problem by the Closing Date
to Buyer's satisfaction and in Buyer's sole discretion, Buyer will lease or
continue to lease from Selling Parties all of the real estate presently being
used by the Corporation pursuant to a lease with an annual rental of
Fifty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($57,500) per year with
the Buyer paying all expenses including taxes, insurance and repairs, for a
period of three years with Buyer's right to renew for four years and again for
three years on the same terms.  The lease agreement shall be in the form of
Exhibit 1.8.  Buyer shall also have an option in the lease to purchase the
property at any time during the 10 year cumulative term at a purchase price
of Five Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($575,000).  Under
this lease option, the purchase price will be offset by the full amount of any
estimated cost of remediation based on the environmental due diligence and
assessment performed by Geomatrix Consultants.  With respect to any such
remediation work to be performed under this paragraph, Geomatrix Consultants
shall perform the professional consulting component of the work, including
analysis, design, cost estimates, supervision of remedial contractors, and
negotiation with appropriate governmental agencies to obtain approval and
closure for the remediation work performed.  The Selling Parties may select
the contractors to perform the site remediation activities component of the
work, provided that Geomatrix Consultants shall approve the selection of the
contractors, supervise the contractors' work, and approve the final work
product of each contractor retained by Selling Parties.  All remediation work,
including the professional consulting and site remediation activities
components, shall be paid for by the Selling Parties with funds withheld from
the purchase price of the real estate purchase and placed into escrow.  With
respect to any lease of the property by Buyer, Selling Parties shall pay 
one-half of the actual cost incurred in resolving the waste water discharge
problem on the property as set forth in Geomatrix Consultants' July 31, 1997
memorandum, with a maximum cap of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) to be paid by
Selling Parties.  This $10,000 will be withheld from the Purchase Price set
forth Paragraph 1.2 of this Agreement and placed into escrow.  An abstract of
the lease option to purchase the real estate will be filed by Buyer with the
County Recorder's Office.  Buyer's agreement to lease is, in part, Buyer's
consideration for the options to renew the lease and to purchase the real
estate.

    1.9.  Buyer shall assume Selling Parties' current lease of the telephones
from AT&T; however, Buyer shall not assume Selling Parties' current lease of
the postage machine from Pitney Bowes nor shall Buyer purchase said postage
machine from Selling Parties or Pitney Bowes.

Selling Parties warrant that, apart form such statements provided to Buyer,
no other security interests exist with respect to the Selling Parties' Assets.

    2.17.  [Deleted]

    2.18.  The Selling Parties will have at Closing good and marketable title
to all their respective assets and interests in assets, whether real, personal,
mixed, tangible, or intangible, which constitute all the assets and interests
in assets that are used in the businesses of Corporation.  The Shareholder
individually currently has good and marketable title to the real property
described in Exhibit 2.8.  All these assets will be at Closing free and clear
of restrictions on or conditions to transfer or assignment, and of mortgages,
liens, pledges, charges, encumbrances, equities, claims, easements, rights of
way, covenants, conditions, or restrictions, except for (1) those disclosed in
Corporation's consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1996, or in
Exhibit(s); (2) the lien of current taxes not yet due and payable; and (3)

    2.19.  Exhibit 2.19 to this agreement is a correct and current list of all
warehouse customers of Corporation together with summaries of the sales made to
each customer during the most recent fiscal year.  Except as indicated in

they are presently doing with Corporation.

                                     6

<PAGE>

    2.20.  Corporation has no employment contracts or collective bargaining
agreements, pension, bonus, profit-sharing, stock option, or other agreements
or arrangements providing for employee remuneration or benefits to which
Corporation is a party or by which Corporation is bound, except for an
employee group health plan.  There is no pending or, to Selling Parties'
knowledge, threatened labor dispute, strike, or work stoppage affecting
Corporation's business.  Corporation has not entered into any severance or
similar arrangement in respect of any present or former employee that will
result in any absolute or contingent obligation of Buyer or Corporation to make
any payment to any present or former employee following termination of
employment.

    2.21.  Exhibit 2.21 to this agreement is a description of all insurance
policies held by Corporation on their businesses and properties.  All these
policies are in the respective principal amounts set forth in Exhibit 2.21.
Since Selling Parties have not yet provided to Buyer any evidence of insurance
policies maintained by Selling Parties prior to 1987 at the time of closing,
the Selling Parties shall use due diligence and cooperate with Buyer in
obtaining and providing to Buyer this information in its entirety following
closing.  Buyer thus does not hereby waive this required performance by
Selling Parties.  Corporation has maintained and now maintains (1) insurance
on all its assets and businesses of a type customarily insured, covering
property damage and loss of income by fire or other casualty, and (2) adequate
insurance protection against all liabilities, claims, and risks against which
it is customary to insure.  Corporation is not in default with respect to
payment of premiums on any such policy.  Except as set forth in Exhibit 2.21,
no claim is pending under any such policy.

    2.22.  Corporation is not a party to, nor is its property bound by, any
distributor's or manufacturer's representative or agency agreement; any output
or requirements agreement; any agreement not entered into in the ordinary
course of business; any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or lease; or any
agreement that is unusual in nature, duration, or amount (including any
agreement requiring the performance by Corporation of any obligation for a
period of time extending beyond one year from closing date or calling for any
consideration).  Corporation is not a party to, nor is the property bound by,
any agreement that is materially adverse to the businesses, properties, or
financial condition of Corporation.

    2.23.  Corporation has not received notice of any violation of any
applicable federal, state, or local statute, law, or regulation, and
represents that:

    [a].  Corporation has complied in all material respects with all federal,
state, and local environmental protection laws and regulations and has not been
cited for any violation of any such law or regulation.  No material capital
expenditures will be required for compliance with any applicable federal,
state, or local laws or regulations now in force relating to the protection
of the environment.  There is no pending audit known to Selling Parties or any
of their officers by any federal, state, or local governmental authority with
respect to groundwater, soil, or air monitoring; the storage, burial, release,
transportation, or disposal of hazardous substances; or the use of underground

                                     7

<PAGE>

storage tanks by Corporation or relating to the facilities of Corporation.
Corporation has no agreement with any third party or federal, state, or local
governmental authority relating to any such environmental matter or cleanup.

    [b].  Corporation has complied with all requirements of the Occupational
Safety and Health Act and its Georgia equivalents and regulations promulgated
under any such legislation, the consequences of a violation of which could have
a material adverse effect on its operations, and with all orders, judgments,
and decrees of any tribunal under such legislation that apply to its
businesses or properties.

    [c].  Corporation has not directly or indirectly paid or delivered any fee,
commission, or other money or property, however characterized, to any finder,
agent, government official, or other party, in the United States or any other
country, that is in any manner related to the business or operations of
Corporation and that Selling Parties know or have reason to believe to have
been illegal under any federal, state, or local law of the United States or
any other country having jurisdiction.  Corporation has not participated,
directly or indirectly, in any boycott or other similar practice affecting any
of its actual or potential customers.  Corporation has at all times done
business in an open and ethical manner.

    [d].  Corporation has complied with, and is not in violation of, any
applicable federal, state, or local statute, law, or regulation (including any
applicable building, zoning, environmental protection, or other law, ordinance,
or regulation) affecting their properties or the operation of its businesses.

    2.24.  There is no pending, or, to the best knowledge of Selling Parties,
threatened, suit, action, arbitration, or legal, administrative, or other
proceeding, or governmental investigation against or affecting Corporation, or
any of their businesses, assets, or financial condition.  Corporation is not in
default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, or decree of any federal,
state, local, or foreign court, department, agency, or instrumentality.  None
of the Selling Parties is presently engaged in any legal action to recover
moneys due to, or damages sustained by, any of them.

    2.25.  The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this agreement
will not result in or constitute any of the following: (1) a breach of any term
or provision of this agreement; (2) a default or an event that, with notice,
lapse of time, or both, would be a default, breach, or violation of the
articles of incorporation or bylaws of Corporation or any lease, license,
promissory note, conditional sales contract, commitment, indenture, mortgage,
deed of trust, or other agreement, instrument, or arrangement to which
Shareholder, or Corporation, is a party or by which any of them or the property
of any of them is bound; (3) an event that would permit any party to terminate
any agreement or to accelerate the maturity of any indebtedness or other
obligation of Corporation; or (4) the creation or imposition of any lien,
charge, or encumbrance on any of the properties of Corporation.

                                     8

<PAGE>

    2.26.  Selling Parties have the right, power, legal capacity, and authority
to enter into and perform their respective obligations under this agreement,
and no approvals or consents of any persons other than Selling Parties are
necessary in connection with it.  The execution and delivery of this agreement
by Corporation has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on
the part of Corporation.

                             BUYER'S PERFORMANCE

    6.0.  The obligations of Buyer to purchase the Assets under this agreement
are subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing, of all the
conditions set out below in this Article Six.  Buyer may waive any or all of
these conditions in whole or in part without prior notice; provided, however,
that no such waiver of a condition constitutes a waiver by Buyer of any of its
other rights or remedies, at law or in equity, if Shareholder, or Corporation,
are in default of any of their representations, warranties, or covenants under
this agreement.

    6.1.  Except as otherwise permitted by this agreement, all warranties by
each of the Selling Parties in this agreement, or in any written statement that
will be delivered to Buyer by any of them under this agreement, must be true in
all material respects on the closing date as though made at that time.

    6.2.  On or before the closing date, Selling Parties will have performed,
satisfied, and complied in all material respects with all covenants,

agreements, and conditions required of any of them by this agreement.

    6.3.  Buyer will have received a certificate, dated the closing date,
signed and verified by Shareholder and by Corporation's president and
treasurer, stating, in such detail as Buyer and its counsel may reasonably
request, that the conditions specified in Article Six have been fulfilled.

for Selling Parties, an opinion dated the closing date, in form and substance
satisfactory to Buyer and its counsel, that:

    [1].  Corporation is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing, and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Georgia, and each has all
requisite corporate power to own its properties as now owned and operate its
business as now operated.

    [2].  The agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed, and
delivered by the Selling Parties and is valid and binding against each of them,
and is enforceable against each of the Selling Parties in accordance with its
terms, except as limited by bankruptcy and insolvency laws and by other laws
and equitable principles affecting the rights of creditors generally.

    [3].  Neither the execution or delivery of the agreement nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the agreement will constitute
(a) a default or an event that would-with notice, lapse of time, or
both-constitute a default under, or violation or breach of, Corporation's
articles of incorporation or bylaws, or, to the best of counsel's knowledge,
any indenture, license, lease, franchise, mortgage, instrument, or other
agreement to which any of Selling Parties is a party or by which they or the
properties of Corporation may be bound, identified in exhibits referenced in
Article Two; or (b) an event that would permit any party to any agreement or
instrument to terminate it or to accelerate the maturity of any indebtedness
or other obligation of Corporation; or (c) an event that would result in the
creation or imposition of any lien, charge, or encumbrance on any asset of
Corporation.

    [4].  The information furnished by the Selling Parties to Buyer pursuant
to section 4.14 of this agreement and other action taken by Selling Parties
are sufficient to satisfy the obligations and duties of Corporation under
Division 6 of the Georgia Uniform Commercial Code.

    [5].  Further, that to the best of counsel's knowledge, there is no suit,
action, arbitration, or legal, administrative, or other proceeding or 
governmental investigation pending or threatened in writing against or
affecting Corporation, or any of its businesses or properties or financial
or other condition.

    In rendering this opinion, counsel for Selling Parties may rely on
certificates of officers and directors of Corporation, and Buyer as to factual

                                     13

<PAGE>

matters, certificates of public officials, and opinions of associate counsel 
approved by Buyer.

    6.5.  No action, suit, or proceeding before any court or any governmental
body or authority, pertaining to the transaction contemplated by this agreement
or to its consummation, will have been instituted or threatened on or before
the closing date.

    6.6.  Buyer will have received from Corporation's chief financial officer a
letter, dated the closing date, stating that on the basis of a limited review 
(not an audit) of the latest available accounting records of Corporation,
consultations with other responsible officers of Corporation and with
Shareholder, and other pertinent inquiries that he may deem necessary, he has
no knowledge or reason to suspect that during the period from September 30,
1996 to a specified date not more than five business days before the closing
date, there was any change in the financial condition or results of operations
of Corporation, except changes incurred in the ordinary course of its business
during that period.

    6.7.  The execution and delivery of this agreement by Corporation, and the
performance of its covenants and obligations under it, will have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action, and Buyer will have received
copies of all resolutions pertaining to that authorization, certified by the
secretary of Corporation.

    6.8.  Buyer will have received from Selling Parties title insurance
policies, dated as of the closing date, issued by First American insuring the
fee simple title of Buyer to all the real property of Selling Parties (other
than that held only as lessee), subject only to (1) the lien, if any, of
current real property taxes, payment of which is not delinquent; (2) liens and
encumbrances referred to in the consolidated balance sheet of Corporation as of
September 30, 1995, attached as Exhibit 2.4-1; and (3) objections and
exceptions noted in these title insurance policies that have been approved in
writing by Buyer.  The costs for the title insurance and the transfer tax
should be equally borne by the Selling Parties and Buyer.  Liability coverage
under those title insurance policies will be at least equal to the assessed
value of the real property.

    6.9.  Buyer will have received a certificate of Corporation in the form
of Exhibit 6.12 to the effect that Corporation is a U.S. person and is not a
U.S. real property holding corporation within the meaning of Internal Revenue
Code section 897, or such other evidence as Buyer may in its sole and absolute
discretion determine to be adequate to relieve Buyer of any obligation to
withhold under Internal Revenue Code section 1445 (relating to withholding by
buyers of U.S. real property interests, including stock in certain real
property holding corporations, in connection with possible liability of the
Selling Parties for income tax under the Foreign Investment in Real Property
Tax Act of 1980).

    6.10.  All necessary agreements and consents of any parties to the
consummation of the transactions contemplated in this agreement, or otherwise
pertaining to the matters covered by it, will have been obtained by Selling
Parties and delivered to Buyer.

this agreement are subject to the satisfaction, at or before closing, of all
the following conditions. Corporation may waive any or all of these conditions

of its representations, warranties, or covenants under this agreement.

    7.1.  All warranties by Buyer contained in this agreement or in any written

defend, and hold harmless Buyer its agents, employees, lenders and assigns,
from and against and in respect of claims, demands, losses, costs, expenses,
obligations, liabilities, damages, recoveries, liens, judgments, and
deficiencies, including interest, penalties, and reasonable attorney fees, that
Buyer will incur or suffer, that arise from any breach of, or failure by
Selling Parties to perform, any of their representations, warranties,
covenants, or agreements in this agreement or in any schedule, certificate,
exhibit, or other instrument furnished or to be furnished by Selling Parties
under this agreement.

    9.2.  Corporation and Shareholder will, jointly and severally, indemnify,
defend, and hold harmless Buyer, its agents, employees, lenders and assigns,
from and against and in respect of claims, demands, losses, costs, expenses,

costs and reasonable attorney fees, that Buyer will incur or suffer, that arise
from or relate to the presence, release, or discharge of hazardous substances
or other environmental contamination or conditions which existed or were caused
by conduct occurring prior to the Closing of the purchase of the real estate.
For purposes of this indemnity, the term "hazardous substances" shall have the
meaning set forth in CERCLA Section 101(14), 42 U.S.C. 9601(14) and State
counterparts.

    9.3.  Corporation and Shareholder will, jointly and severally, indemnify,
defend, and hold harmless Buyer its agents, employees, lenders and assigns,

the business prior to the Closing of this Transaction. 

    9.4.  Buyer will promptly notify Corporation and Shareholder of the

right to participate fully in the defense at its own expense.  If, within a
reasonable time after this notice, Corporation and Shareholder fail to defend,
Buyer will have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake the defense of,
and to compromise or settle (exercising reasonable business judgment), the
claim or other matter on behalf and at the risk of Corporation and Shareholder.
If the claim is one that cannot by its nature be defended solely by Corporation

directly or indirectly engage in, or have any interest in any person, firm,
corporation, or business (whether as an employee, officer, director, agent,
security holder, creditor, consultant, or otherwise) that engages in any
activity in the State of Georgia that is the same as, similar to, or
competitive with any activity now engaged in by Corporation (or any successor
or successors) in Georgia as long as Buyer engages in the activity in such
state.

    The parties intend that the covenant contained in the preceding portion of
this section be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each
county and city in the state specified.  Except for geographic coverage, each
such separate covenant will be considered identical in terms to the covenant
contained in the preceding paragraph.  If, in any judicial proceeding, a court
refuses to enforce any of the separate covenants included in this paragraph,
the unenforceable covenant will be considered eliminated from these provisions
for the purpose of those proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the
remaining separate covenants to be enforced.

    Shareholder will not divulge, communicate, use to the detriment of Buyer or
for the benefit of any other person or persons, or misuse in any way, any
confidential information or trade secrets of Corporation, including personnel
information, secret processes, know-how, customer lists, recipes, formulas,
or other technical data.  Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that any
information or data he has acquired on any of these matters or items was
received in confidence and as a fiduciary of Corporation.

    9.6.  Selling Parties agree not to remove any books, records, or
documentation of any kind belonging to Corporation, provided, however, that
Selling Parties are free to make copies of any such books, records, or 
documentation.

to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this agreement on any
persons other than the parties to it and their respective successors and
assigns; nothing in this agreement is intended to relieve or discharge the
obligation or liability of any third persons to any party to this agreement;
and no provision will give any third persons any right of subrogation or
action against any party to this agreement.

    11.8.  Any controversy or claim arising from or relating to this agreement,
or its making, performance, or interpretation, will be settled by arbitration
in Los Angeles, California, under the commercial arbitration rules of the
American Arbitration Association then existing.  Judgment on the arbitration
award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the subject matter
of the controversy.

    11.9.  Each party's obligation under this agreement is unique.  If any
party should default in its obligations under this agreement, the parties each
acknowledge that it would be extremely impracticable to measure the resulting
damages; accordingly, the nondefaulting party or parties, in addition to any
other available rights or remedies, may sue in equity for specific performance,
and the parties each expressly waive the defense that a remedy in damages will
be adequate.  Despite any breach or default by any of the parties of any of
their respective representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements under
this agreement, if the purchase and sale contemplated by it will be consummated
at the Closing, each of the parties waives any rights that they may have to
rescind this agreement or the transaction consummated by it provided that this
waiver will not affect any other rights or remedies available to the parties 
under this agreement or under the law.

    11.10.  If any legal action, arbitration, or other proceeding is brought
for the enforcement of this agreement, or because of an alleged dispute,
breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions
of this agreement, the successful or prevailing party or parties will be
entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees and other costs incurred in that
action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which they may be
entitled.

    11.11.  Subject to the provisions of paragraph 8.4 relating to the
postponement of the Closing date, any party may on or before Closing date
terminate this agreement, without liability to any other:

    [1].  If any bona fide action or proceeding is pending against any party
on the closing date that could result in an unfavorable judgment, decree, or
order that would prevent or make unlawful the performance of this agreement; or

    [2].  If the legality and sufficiency of all steps taken and to be taken by
the parties and their shareholders in carrying out this agreement have not been
approved by counsel as required by this agreement.

    11.12.  If either Buyer or Selling Parties materially default in the due
and timely performance of any of their warranties, covenants, or agreements
under this agreement, the nondefaulting party or parties may on the closing
date give notice of termination of this agreement, in the manner provided in
paragraph 11.16.  The notice will specify with particularity the default or 
defaults on which the notice is based.  The termination will be effective five
days after the closing date, unless the specified default or defaults have been
cured on or before this effective date for termination.

    11.13. All representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements of the
parties contained in this agreement, or in any instrument, certificate,
opinion, or other writing provided for in it, will survive the Closing.

    11.14.  If any provision of this agreement is held invalid or unenforceable
by any court of final jurisdiction, it is the intent of the parties that all
other provisions of this agreement be construed to remain fully valid,
enforceable, and binding on the parties.

    11.15.  Any notice, payment, demand, offer, or communication required or
permitted to be given by any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to
have been delivered and given for all purposes (i) if it is actually received
by personal or electronic tender (such as, e.g., facsimile transmission or
computer modem transmission) by the person to whom it was directed, or (ii)
if sent by registered or certified mail, postage and charges prepaid, addressed
to the party at the address set forth below next to the signature of such
party, or to such other address as such party may from time to time specify
by written notice to the other party.  Any notice shall be deemed given as
of the earlier of the date actually received or the date on which it was
deposited in a regularly maintained depository for the deposit of United
States mail, properly addressed with postage prepaid.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties to this agreement have duly executed it
on the day and year first above written.

AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS AND REAL PROPERTY

    This agreement is made as of August 6, 1997, at Los Angeles, California,
between Bonded Motors (Buyer), a California corporation, of Los Angeles, 
California and Wheelers Manufacturing Company, Inc. ("Corporation" or 
"Seller"), a Georgia corporation, and Charles H. Wheeler (Shareholder) of 
Macon, Georgia.  Shareholder and Corporation are collectively referred to in 
this agreement as Selling Parties.

    A.  Buyer desires to purchase from Corporation and Corporation desires to
sell to Buyer, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this agreement,
all the business and properties of Corporation in exchange for the purchase
price described in paragraphs 1.2 and 1.8; Shareholder desires that this
transaction be consummated. 

     In consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements, representations,
and warranties contained in this agreement, the parties agree as follows:

                                 ARTICLE ONE
                    PURCHASE OF ASSETS AND REAL PROPERTY

    1.1.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement,
Corporation will sell, convey, transfer, assign, and deliver to Buyer, and
Buyer will purchase from Corporation, free and clear of any and all liens and
encumbrances, the following assets of the Corporation:  (1) all inventory,
supplies, and work in progress relating solely to the automobile engine
re-manufacturing business of the Corporation; (2) all furniture, fixtures,
machinery and equipment as listed in the appraisal dated November 22, 1996, by
the Dobbins Co., Atlanta, Georgia, and as subsequently amended; and (3) all
goodwill, trade and other intangible assets, excluding only cash, accounts
receivable and life insurance policies, of the Corporation.  The foregoing
assets are collectively the "Assets".  A definitive list of the Assets is set
forth in Exhibit 1.1-1 to this Agreement.  Exhibit 1.1-2 is the bill of sale
setting forth the sale of the Assets in this section.

    1.2.  Buyer shall deliver at the Closing, in accordance with the provisions
of Article 8, the following:  A bank wire transfer, payable to the account of
Wheelers Manufacturing Company, Inc., in the amount of $569,657.70 
("Purchase Price").  Said Purchase Price covers Buyer's purchase of the Assets
set forth in Paragraph 1.1 above, the saleable inventory of raw materials
(cores and purchased parts), work in progress and finished goods integral to
the engine re-manufacturing business on the date of Closing at the cost carried
on the books and records of the Corporation, and the covenant of noncompetition
set forth in paragraph 1.5, below.  Furthermore, the Purchase Price shall be
reduced by the amount determined under paragraphs 1.3, 1.8, and 4.13, if any.

    1.3.  In consideration of Corporation taking the Corporation off the
market, Buyer shall pay into escrow an earnest money binder of $25,000.  The
earnest money including interest thereon shall be fully refundable to the

                                     1
Buyer, regardless whether the sale of Assets is consummated or not.  Therefore,
the full amount of the earnest money will be applied as a credit on the
Purchase Price of the sale of the Assets (set forth in Paragraph 1 hereinabove)
at such Closing. If the sale of the Assets is not consummated, the full amount
of the earnest money will be immediately returned to Buyer.  The escrow holder
shall be the attorney for the Selling Parties, Martin, Snow, Grant & Napier,
who shall deposit and hold the earnest money binder in his trust account until
either this Agreement is consummated or terminated.  Upon termination for any
reason, the escrow holder shall immediately return the funds to Buyer without
respect to any claim or offset by Selling Parties against Buyer.  Upon
consummation of this Agreement, the escrow holder shall remit the funds to the
Selling Parties and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted with a credit for such
payment.

    1.4.  Buyer shall later determine how the purchase price for the Assets
shall be allocated to the Assets, and Selling Parties shall not object to any
reasonable allocation made by Buyer.  Each of the parties must report this
transaction for federal tax purposes in accordance with this allocation of the
purchase price.

    1.5.  Shareholder is entitled to the payment of $25,000 to be allocated
from the Purchase Price for a noncompetition covenant as more fully provided
in paragraph 9.5.

    1.6.  Corporation will pay all sales and use taxes arising from the
transfer of the Assets and will pay its portion, prorated as of the closing
date, of state and local real and personal property taxes of the business.
Buyer will not be responsible for any business, occupation, withholding, or
similar tax, or any taxes of any kind related to any period before the closing
date.

    1.7.  Buyer will assume no liabilities of the Corporation.  For a period of
twelve (12) months following the Closing of the sale of the Assets, Buyer shall
assist Selling Parties by providing notice of any warranty claims submitted to
the Buyer by mail at an address to be provided by Seller. 

    1.8.  Buyer will engage Geomatrix Consultants to conduct a Phase I and
Phase II Environmental Assessment, the cost of which will be approved in
advance and shared by Corporation and Buyer equally, and the results of such
assessments shall be kept confidential.  After the assessment is completed, if,
in Buyer's sole discretion, the assessment shows no environmental concerns,
Buyer will purchase the land and buildings (hereinafter "real estate" or
"property") from Selling Parties for Five Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand and
No/100 Dollars ($575,000) payable in cash at Closing.  If the environmental
assessment finds that immediate or future remediation is necessary, and if the
estimated cost of remediation is not more than One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand
Dollars ($125,000), Selling Parties agree to sell the real estate as provided
above, and such sale will be closed with funds set aside from the purchase
price to pay for the estimated remediation cost.  If the estimated cost of
remediation is more than $125,000, Selling Parties will retain the property
with a lease to Buyer as set out below.  Notwithstanding any other provision
in this Paragraph, if in Buyer's sole discretion the environmental survey shows

                                     2
a problem and Corporation is unable to correct that problem by the Closing Date
to Buyer's satisfaction and in Buyer's sole discretion, Buyer will lease or
continue to lease from Selling Parties all of the real estate presently being
used by the Corporation pursuant to a lease with an annual rental of
Fifty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($57,500) per year with
the Buyer paying all expenses including taxes, insurance and repairs, for a
period of three years with Buyer's right to renew for four years and again for
three years on the same terms.  The lease agreement shall be in the form of
Exhibit 1.8.  Buyer shall also have an option in the lease to purchase the
property at any time during the 10 year cumulative term at a purchase price
of Five Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($575,000).  Under
this lease option, the purchase price will be offset by the full amount of any
estimated cost of remediation based on the environmental due diligence and
assessment performed by Geomatrix Consultants.  With respect to any such
remediation work to be performed under this paragraph, Geomatrix Consultants
shall perform the professional consulting component of the work, including
analysis, design, cost estimates, supervision of remedial contractors, and
negotiation with appropriate governmental agencies to obtain approval and
closure for the remediation work performed.  The Selling Parties may select
the contractors to perform the site remediation activities component of the
work, provided that Geomatrix Consultants shall approve the selection of the
contractors, supervise the contractors' work, and approve the final work
product of each contractor retained by Selling Parties.  All remediation work,
including the professional consulting and site remediation activities
components, shall be paid for by the Selling Parties with funds withheld from
the purchase price of the real estate purchase and placed into escrow.  With
respect to any lease of the property by Buyer, Selling Parties shall pay 
one-half of the actual cost incurred in resolving the waste water discharge
problem on the property as set forth in Geomatrix Consultants' July 31, 1997
memorandum, with a maximum cap of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) to be paid by
Selling Parties.  This $10,000 will be withheld from the Purchase Price set
forth Paragraph 1.2 of this Agreement and placed into escrow.  An abstract of
the lease option to purchase the real estate will be filed by Buyer with the
County Recorder's Office.  Buyer's agreement to lease is, in part, Buyer's
consideration for the options to renew the lease and to purchase the real
estate.

    1.9.  Buyer shall assume Selling Parties' current lease of the telephones
from AT&T; however, Buyer shall not assume Selling Parties' current lease of
the postage machine from Pitney Bowes nor shall Buyer purchase said postage
machine from Selling Parties or Pitney Bowes.

substance, material, or waste that is regulated by any federal authority or
by any state or local governmental authority where the substance, material,
or waste is located.

    2.11.  The inventories of raw materials, work in process, and finished
goods (collectively called inventories) shown on the Corporation's balance
sheet as of September 30, 1996, included in the financial statements, consist
of items that are usable and salable in the ordinary course of business by
Corporation.  Except for sales made in the ordinary course of business since
that date and certain inventory consigned to Seller by a company known as Dyna
Gear which the Seller shall mark for Buyer prior to or at Closing, all the
inventories are the property of Corporation.

    2.12.  Exhibit 2.12 to this Agreement is a complete list and appraisal of
all trucks, automobiles, machinery, equipment, furniture, supplies, tools,
dies, rigs, molds, patterns, drawings, and all other tangible personal
property owned by, in the possession of, or used by Corporation in connection
with its businesses, except inventories of raw materials, work in process, and
finished goods.  The property listed in Exhibit 2.12 constitutes all such
tangible personal property necessary for the conduct by Corporation of its
businesses as now conducted.  All the motor vehicles listed in Exhibit 2.12 are
in good condition and repair and have current smog certifications, if
applicable.  With respect to any security interest on any inventories in
section 2.11 and any other tangible property in this section, the Selling
Parties shall obtain from the secured party (i.e. bank) a termination of the

                                     5
security interest by providing to Buyer's counsel prior to closing a UCC-3
statement, prepared by Buyer's counsel, executed by the secured party.  The
Selling Parties warrant that, apart form such statements provided to Buyer,
no other security interests exist with respect to the Selling Parties' Assets.

    No personal property used by Corporation in connection with its business is
held under any lease, security agreement, conditional sales contract, or other
title retention or security arrangement, or is located other than in the
possession of Corporation, except for certain telephones leased from AT&T and
certain postage meter leased from Pitney Bowes.

    2.16.  Shareholder warrants that the Corporation has not granted and will
not grant to any other person, firm, or corporation the right to use, and that
he will not himself use (except in connection with Corporation), his name as
part of the corporate or firm name of any other firm, entity, corporation, or
business, or as part of any trade name or trademark not belonging to
Corporation.

    2.17.  [Deleted]

    2.18.  The Selling Parties will have at Closing good and marketable title
to all their respective assets and interests in assets, whether real, personal,
mixed, tangible, or intangible, which constitute all the assets and interests
in assets that are used in the businesses of Corporation.  The Shareholder
individually currently has good and marketable title to the real property
described in Exhibit 2.8.  All these assets will be at Closing free and clear
of restrictions on or conditions to transfer or assignment, and of mortgages,
liens, pledges, charges, encumbrances, equities, claims, easements, rights of
way, covenants, conditions, or restrictions, except for (1) those disclosed in
Corporation's consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1996, or in
Exhibit(s); (2) the lien of current taxes not yet due and payable; and (3)
possible minor matters that, in the aggregate, are not substantial in amount
and do not materially detract from or interfere with the present or intended
use of any of these assets or materially impair business operations.  

    2.19.  Exhibit 2.19 to this agreement is a correct and current list of all
warehouse customers of Corporation together with summaries of the sales made to
each customer during the most recent fiscal year.  Except as indicated in
Exhibit 2.19, neither Corporation, nor Shareholder has any information, or is
aware of any facts, indicating that any of these customers intend to cease
doing business with Corporation or materially alter the amount of the business
they are presently doing with Corporation.

                                     6
2.20.  Corporation has no employment contracts or collective bargaining
agreements, pension, bonus, profit-sharing, stock option, or other agreements
or arrangements providing for employee remuneration or benefits to which
Corporation is a party or by which Corporation is bound, except for an
employee group health plan.  There is no pending or, to Selling Parties'
knowledge, threatened labor dispute, strike, or work stoppage affecting
Corporation's business.  Corporation has not entered into any severance or
similar arrangement in respect of any present or former employee that will
result in any absolute or contingent obligation of Buyer or Corporation to make
any payment to any present or former employee following termination of
employment.

    2.21.  Exhibit 2.21 to this agreement is a description of all insurance
policies held by Corporation on their businesses and properties.  All these
policies are in the respective principal amounts set forth in Exhibit 2.21.
Since Selling Parties have not yet provided to Buyer any evidence of insurance
policies maintained by Selling Parties prior to 1987 at the time of closing,
the Selling Parties shall use due diligence and cooperate with Buyer in
obtaining and providing to Buyer this information in its entirety following
closing.  Buyer thus does not hereby waive this required performance by
Selling Parties.  Corporation has maintained and now maintains (1) insurance
on all its assets and businesses of a type customarily insured, covering
property damage and loss of income by fire or other casualty, and (2) adequate
insurance protection against all liabilities, claims, and risks against which
it is customary to insure.  Corporation is not in default with respect to
payment of premiums on any such policy.  Except as set forth in Exhibit 2.21,
no claim is pending under any such policy.

    2.22.  Corporation is not a party to, nor is its property bound by, any
distributor's or manufacturer's representative or agency agreement; any output
or requirements agreement; any agreement not entered into in the ordinary
course of business; any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or lease; or any
agreement that is unusual in nature, duration, or amount (including any
agreement requiring the performance by Corporation of any obligation for a
period of time extending beyond one year from closing date or calling for any
consideration).  Corporation is not a party to, nor is the property bound by,
any agreement that is materially adverse to the businesses, properties, or
financial condition of Corporation.

    2.23.  Corporation has not received notice of any violation of any
applicable federal, state, or local statute, law, or regulation, and
represents that:

    [a].  Corporation has complied in all material respects with all federal,
state, and local environmental protection laws and regulations and has not been
cited for any violation of any such law or regulation.  No material capital
expenditures will be required for compliance with any applicable federal,
state, or local laws or regulations now in force relating to the protection
of the environment.  There is no pending audit known to Selling Parties or any
of their officers by any federal, state, or local governmental authority with
respect to groundwater, soil, or air monitoring; the storage, burial, release,
transportation, or disposal of hazardous substances; or the use of underground

                                     7
storage tanks by Corporation or relating to the facilities of Corporation.
Corporation has no agreement with any third party or federal, state, or local
governmental authority relating to any such environmental matter or cleanup.

    [b].  Corporation has complied with all requirements of the Occupational
Safety and Health Act and its Georgia equivalents and regulations promulgated
under any such legislation, the consequences of a violation of which could have
a material adverse effect on its operations, and with all orders, judgments,
and decrees of any tribunal under such legislation that apply to its
businesses or properties.

    [c].  Corporation has not directly or indirectly paid or delivered any fee,
commission, or other money or property, however characterized, to any finder,
agent, government official, or other party, in the United States or any other
country, that is in any manner related to the business or operations of
Corporation and that Selling Parties know or have reason to believe to have
been illegal under any federal, state, or local law of the United States or
any other country having jurisdiction.  Corporation has not participated,
directly or indirectly, in any boycott or other similar practice affecting any
of its actual or potential customers.  Corporation has at all times done
business in an open and ethical manner.

    [d].  Corporation has complied with, and is not in violation of, any
applicable federal, state, or local statute, law, or regulation (including any
applicable building, zoning, environmental protection, or other law, ordinance,
or regulation) affecting their properties or the operation of its businesses.

    2.24.  There is no pending, or, to the best knowledge of Selling Parties,
threatened, suit, action, arbitration, or legal, administrative, or other
proceeding, or governmental investigation against or affecting Corporation, or
any of their businesses, assets, or financial condition.  Corporation is not in
default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, or decree of any federal,
state, local, or foreign court, department, agency, or instrumentality.  None
of the Selling Parties is presently engaged in any legal action to recover
moneys due to, or damages sustained by, any of them.

    2.25.  The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this agreement
will not result in or constitute any of the following: (1) a breach of any term
or provision of this agreement; (2) a default or an event that, with notice,
lapse of time, or both, would be a default, breach, or violation of the
articles of incorporation or bylaws of Corporation or any lease, license,
promissory note, conditional sales contract, commitment, indenture, mortgage,
deed of trust, or other agreement, instrument, or arrangement to which
Shareholder, or Corporation, is a party or by which any of them or the property
of any of them is bound; (3) an event that would permit any party to terminate
any agreement or to accelerate the maturity of any indebtedness or other
obligation of Corporation; or (4) the creation or imposition of any lien,
charge, or encumbrance on any of the properties of Corporation.

                                     8
2.26.  Selling Parties have the right, power, legal capacity, and authority
to enter into and perform their respective obligations under this agreement,
and no approvals or consents of any persons other than Selling Parties are
necessary in connection with it.  The execution and delivery of this agreement
by Corporation has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on
the part of Corporation.

    2.27.  Shareholder, nor any officer, director, or employee of Corporation,
nor any spouse or child of any of them, has any direct or indirect interest in
any competitor, supplier, or customer of Corporation or in any person from whom
or to whom Corporation leases any real or personal property, or in any other
person with whom Corporation is doing business.

    2.28.  Selling Parties will make available at its business premises for
Buyer's inspection (1) copies of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of
Corporation; (2) the minute books of Corporation containing all records
required to be set forth of all proceedings, consents, actions, and meetings
of the shareholders and boards of directors of Corporation; (3) the stock
transfer books of Corporation setting forth all transfers of any capital stock.
In addition, the Selling Parties' counsel will provide to Buyer a statement of
existence of Corporation prior to closing.

    2.29.  Exhibit 2.29 is a list of the names and addresses of all officers
and directors of Corporation. 

    2.30.  None of the warranties made by Selling Parties, or made in any
certificate or memorandum furnished or to be furnished by any of them or on
their behalf, contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact,
or omits to state a material fact necessary to prevent the statements made from
being misleading.

                           CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO
                             BUYER'S PERFORMANCE

    6.0.  The obligations of Buyer to purchase the Assets under this agreement
are subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing, of all the
conditions set out below in this Article Six.  Buyer may waive any or all of
these conditions in whole or in part without prior notice; provided, however,
that no such waiver of a condition constitutes a waiver by Buyer of any of its
other rights or remedies, at law or in equity, if Shareholder, or Corporation,
are in default of any of their representations, warranties, or covenants under
this agreement.

    6.1.  Except as otherwise permitted by this agreement, all warranties by
each of the Selling Parties in this agreement, or in any written statement that
will be delivered to Buyer by any of them under this agreement, must be true in
all material respects on the closing date as though made at that time.

    6.2.  On or before the closing date, Selling Parties will have performed,
satisfied, and complied in all material respects with all covenants,

                                     12
agreements, and conditions required of any of them by this agreement.

    6.3.  Buyer will have received a certificate, dated the closing date,
signed and verified by Shareholder and by Corporation's president and
treasurer, stating, in such detail as Buyer and its counsel may reasonably
request, that the conditions specified in Article Six have been fulfilled.

    6.4.  Buyer will have received from Martin, Snow, Grand & Napier, counsel
for Selling Parties, an opinion dated the closing date, in form and substance
satisfactory to Buyer and its counsel, that:

    [1].  Corporation is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing, and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Georgia, and each has all
requisite corporate power to own its properties as now owned and operate its
business as now operated.

    [2].  The agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed, and
delivered by the Selling Parties and is valid and binding against each of them,
and is enforceable against each of the Selling Parties in accordance with its
terms, except as limited by bankruptcy and insolvency laws and by other laws
and equitable principles affecting the rights of creditors generally.

    [3].  Neither the execution or delivery of the agreement nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the agreement will constitute
(a) a default or an event that would-with notice, lapse of time, or
both-constitute a default under, or violation or breach of, Corporation's
articles of incorporation or bylaws, or, to the best of counsel's knowledge,
any indenture, license, lease, franchise, mortgage, instrument, or other
agreement to which any of Selling Parties is a party or by which they or the
properties of Corporation may be bound, identified in exhibits referenced in
Article Two; or (b) an event that would permit any party to any agreement or
instrument to terminate it or to accelerate the maturity of any indebtedness
or other obligation of Corporation; or (c) an event that would result in the
creation or imposition of any lien, charge, or encumbrance on any asset of
Corporation.

    [4].  The information furnished by the Selling Parties to Buyer pursuant
to section 4.14 of this agreement and other action taken by Selling Parties
are sufficient to satisfy the obligations and duties of Corporation under
Division 6 of the Georgia Uniform Commercial Code.

    [5].  Further, that to the best of counsel's knowledge, there is no suit,
action, arbitration, or legal, administrative, or other proceeding or 
governmental investigation pending or threatened in writing against or
affecting Corporation, or any of its businesses or properties or financial
or other condition.

    In rendering this opinion, counsel for Selling Parties may rely on
certificates of officers and directors of Corporation, and Buyer as to factual

                                     13
matters, certificates of public officials, and opinions of associate counsel 
approved by Buyer.

    6.5.  No action, suit, or proceeding before any court or any governmental
body or authority, pertaining to the transaction contemplated by this agreement
or to its consummation, will have been instituted or threatened on or before
the closing date.

    6.6.  Buyer will have received from Corporation's chief financial officer a
letter, dated the closing date, stating that on the basis of a limited review 
(not an audit) of the latest available accounting records of Corporation,
consultations with other responsible officers of Corporation and with
Shareholder, and other pertinent inquiries that he may deem necessary, he has
no knowledge or reason to suspect that during the period from September 30,
1996 to a specified date not more than five business days before the closing
date, there was any change in the financial condition or results of operations
of Corporation, except changes incurred in the ordinary course of its business
during that period.

    6.7.  The execution and delivery of this agreement by Corporation, and the
performance of its covenants and obligations under it, will have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action, and Buyer will have received
copies of all resolutions pertaining to that authorization, certified by the
secretary of Corporation.

    6.8.  Buyer will have received from Selling Parties title insurance
policies, dated as of the closing date, issued by First American insuring the
fee simple title of Buyer to all the real property of Selling Parties (other
than that held only as lessee), subject only to (1) the lien, if any, of
current real property taxes, payment of which is not delinquent; (2) liens and
encumbrances referred to in the consolidated balance sheet of Corporation as of
September 30, 1995, attached as Exhibit 2.4-1; and (3) objections and
exceptions noted in these title insurance policies that have been approved in
writing by Buyer.  The costs for the title insurance and the transfer tax
should be equally borne by the Selling Parties and Buyer.  Liability coverage
under those title insurance policies will be at least equal to the assessed
value of the real property.

    6.9.  Buyer will have received a certificate of Corporation in the form
of Exhibit 6.12 to the effect that Corporation is a U.S. person and is not a
U.S. real property holding corporation within the meaning of Internal Revenue
Code section 897, or such other evidence as Buyer may in its sole and absolute
discretion determine to be adequate to relieve Buyer of any obligation to
withhold under Internal Revenue Code section 1445 (relating to withholding by
buyers of U.S. real property interests, including stock in certain real
property holding corporations, in connection with possible liability of the
Selling Parties for income tax under the Foreign Investment in Real Property
Tax Act of 1980).

    6.10.  All necessary agreements and consents of any parties to the
consummation of the transactions contemplated in this agreement, or otherwise
pertaining to the matters covered by it, will have been obtained by Selling
Parties and delivered to Buyer.

                                     14

this agreement are subject to the satisfaction, at or before closing, of all
the following conditions. Corporation may waive any or all of these conditions
in whole or in part without prior notice, provided, however, that no such
waiver of a condition constitutes a waiver by Corporation of any of its other
rights or remedies, at law or in equity, if Buyer should be in default of any
of its representations, warranties, or covenants under this agreement.

    7.1.  All warranties by Buyer contained in this agreement or in any written

closing date as though such warranties were made on and as of that date.

    8.3.  Simultaneously with the consummation of the transfer, Corporation,
through its officers, agents, and employees, will put Buyer into full
possession and enjoyment of all properties and assets to be conveyed and
transferred by this agreement.

    8.4.  The closing with respect to the purchase of the real property may be

under this agreement.  If requested by Buyer, Corporation will prosecute or
otherwise enforce in its own name for the benefit of Buyer any claims, rights,
or benefits that are transferred to Buyer under this agreement and that require
prosecution or enforcement in Corporation's name.  Any prosecution or
enforcement of claims, rights, or benefits under this paragraph will be solely

a breach of this agreement by any of the Selling Parties.

    8.6.  At the Closing, Buyer must deliver to the Selling Parties' counsel

                                ARTICLE NINE
                 SELLING PARTIES' OBLIGATIONS AFTER CLOSING

    9.1.  Corporation and Shareholder will, jointly and severally, indemnify,
defend, and hold harmless Buyer its agents, employees, lenders and assigns,
from and against and in respect of claims, demands, losses, costs, expenses,
obligations, liabilities, damages, recoveries, liens, judgments, and
deficiencies, including interest, penalties, and reasonable attorney fees, that
Buyer will incur or suffer, that arise from any breach of, or failure by
Selling Parties to perform, any of their representations, warranties,
covenants, or agreements in this agreement or in any schedule, certificate,
exhibit, or other instrument furnished or to be furnished by Selling Parties
under this agreement.

    9.2.  Corporation and Shareholder will, jointly and severally, indemnify,
defend, and hold harmless Buyer, its agents, employees, lenders and assigns,
from and against and in respect of claims, demands, losses, costs, expenses,
obligations, liabilities, damages, recoveries, liens, judgments, and
deficiencies, including interest, penalties, environmental and remediation
costs and reasonable attorney fees, that Buyer will incur or suffer, that arise
from or relate to the presence, release, or discharge of hazardous substances
or other environmental contamination or conditions which existed or were caused
by conduct occurring prior to the Closing of the purchase of the real estate.
For purposes of this indemnity, the term "hazardous substances" shall have the
meaning set forth in CERCLA Section 101(14), 42 U.S.C. 9601(14) and State
counterparts.

    9.3.  Corporation and Shareholder will, jointly and severally, indemnify,
defend, and hold harmless Buyer its agents, employees, lenders and assigns,
from and against and in respect of claims, demands, losses, costs, expenses,
obligations, liabilities, damages, recoveries, liens, judgments, and
deficiencies, including interest, penalties, and reasonable attorney fees, that
Buyer will incur or suffer, that arise from or relate to Seller's operation of
the business prior to the Closing of this Transaction. 

    9.4.  Buyer will promptly notify Corporation and Shareholder of the
existence of any claim, demand, or other matter to which Corporation's and
Shareholder's indemnification obligations would apply, and will give them a
reasonable opportunity to defend the same at their own expense and with counsel
of their own selection; provided that Buyer will at all times also have the
right to participate fully in the defense at its own expense.  If, within a
reasonable time after this notice, Corporation and Shareholder fail to defend,
Buyer will have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake the defense of,
and to compromise or settle (exercising reasonable business judgment), the
claim or other matter on behalf and at the risk of Corporation and Shareholder.
If the claim is one that cannot by its nature be defended solely by Corporation

                                     17
and Shareholder (including any federal or state tax proceeding), Buyer will
make available all information and assistance that Corporation and Shareholder
may reasonably request.

    9.5.  In consideration for an allocation from the Asset Purchase Price to
Buyer of $25,000, to be made on the closing date, Shareholder will not, at any
time within the two-year period immediately following the closing date,
directly or indirectly engage in, or have any interest in any person, firm,
corporation, or business (whether as an employee, officer, director, agent,
security holder, creditor, consultant, or otherwise) that engages in any
activity in the State of Georgia that is the same as, similar to, or
competitive with any activity now engaged in by Corporation (or any successor
or successors) in Georgia as long as Buyer engages in the activity in such
state.

    The parties intend that the covenant contained in the preceding portion of
this section be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each
county and city in the state specified.  Except for geographic coverage, each
such separate covenant will be considered identical in terms to the covenant
contained in the preceding paragraph.  If, in any judicial proceeding, a court
refuses to enforce any of the separate covenants included in this paragraph,
the unenforceable covenant will be considered eliminated from these provisions
for the purpose of those proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the
remaining separate covenants to be enforced.

    Shareholder will not divulge, communicate, use to the detriment of Buyer or
for the benefit of any other person or persons, or misuse in any way, any
confidential information or trade secrets of Corporation, including personnel
information, secret processes, know-how, customer lists, recipes, formulas,
or other technical data.  Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that any
information or data he has acquired on any of these matters or items was
received in confidence and as a fiduciary of Corporation.

    9.6.  Selling Parties agree not to remove any books, records, or
documentation of any kind belonging to Corporation, provided, however, that
Selling Parties are free to make copies of any such books, records, or 
documentation. 

                                 ARTICLE TEN

    10.1.  Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Corporation and Shareholder
against, and in respect of, claims, losses, expenses, costs, obligations, and
liabilities they may incur by reason of Buyer's breach of or failure to perform
any of its warranties or commitments in this agreement, or by reason of any act
or omission of Buyer, or any of its successors or assigns, after the closing
date, that constitutes a breach or default under, or a failure to perform, any
obligation or liability of any of the Selling Parties under any loan agreement,
lease, contract, order, or other agreement to which it is a party or by which
it is bound at the closing date, but only to the extent to which Buyer
expressly assumes these obligations, duties, and liabilities under this
agreement.

                                     18
10.2.  Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Corporation and
Shareholder, their agents, employees, lenders and assigns from and against and
in respect of claims, demands, lawsuits, costs, expenses, obligations,
liabilities, damages, recoveries, liens, judgments, and deficiencies, including
interest, penalty, and reasonable attorneys fees, that Selling Parties will
incur or suffer, that arise from or relate to Buyer's operation of the
business after the Closing of this Transaction.

    10.3.  The use of power, telephones and other such services should be
prorated based on actual use and costs incurred by Shareholder and Seller.

                               ARTICLE ELEVEN
                                MISCELLANEOUS

    11.1.  All notices to third parties and all other publicity concerning
the transactions contemplated in this agreement will be jointly planned and
coordinated by and between Buyer and Selling Parties.  No party will act
unilaterally in this regard without the prior written approval of the others;
however, this approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

    11.2.  Selling Parties and Buyer each indemnify and hold harmless one
another against any loss, liability, damage, cost, claim, or expense incurred
by reason of any brokerage commission or finder's fee alleged to be payable
because of any act, omission, or statement of the indemnifying party.

    11.3.  Each party will pay all costs and expenses incurred or to be
incurred by it in negotiating and preparing this agreement and in closing
and carrying out the transactions contemplated in this agreement.

    11.4.  Unless the context clearly requires otherwise: 1. Plural and
singular numbers will each be considered to include the other; 2. The
masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will each be considered to include
the others; 3. "Shall," "will," "must," "agree," and "covenants" are each
mandatory 4. "May" is permissive; 5. "Or" is not exclusive; and 6. "Includes"
and "including" are not limiting.

    11.5.  This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
pertaining to the subject matter contained in it and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous agreements, representations, and understandings of the parties.
No supplement, modification, or amendment of this agreement will be binding
unless executed in writing by all the parties.  No waiver of any of the 
provisions of this agreement will be considered, or will constitute, a waiver
of any other provision, and no waiver will constitute a continuing waiver.
No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the party making the
waiver.

    11.6.  This agreement may be executed simultaneously by facsimile
transmission in one or more counterparts, each of which will be considered
an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same
instrument.

                                     19
11.7.  Nothing in this agreement, whether express or implied, is intended
to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this agreement on any
persons other than the parties to it and their respective successors and
assigns; nothing in this agreement is intended to relieve or discharge the
obligation or liability of any third persons to any party to this agreement;
and no provision will give any third persons any right of subrogation or
action against any party to this agreement.

    11.8.  Any controversy or claim arising from or relating to this agreement,
or its making, performance, or interpretation, will be settled by arbitration
in Los Angeles, California, under the commercial arbitration rules of the
American Arbitration Association then existing.  Judgment on the arbitration
award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the subject matter
of the controversy.

    11.9.  Each party's obligation under this agreement is unique.  If any
party should default in its obligations under this agreement, the parties each
acknowledge that it would be extremely impracticable to measure the resulting
damages; accordingly, the nondefaulting party or parties, in addition to any
other available rights or remedies, may sue in equity for specific performance,
and the parties each expressly waive the defense that a remedy in damages will
be adequate.  Despite any breach or default by any of the parties of any of
their respective representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements under
this agreement, if the purchase and sale contemplated by it will be consummated
at the Closing, each of the parties waives any rights that they may have to
rescind this agreement or the transaction consummated by it provided that this
waiver will not affect any other rights or remedies available to the parties 
under this agreement or under the law.

    11.10.  If any legal action, arbitration, or other proceeding is brought
for the enforcement of this agreement, or because of an alleged dispute,
breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions
of this agreement, the successful or prevailing party or parties will be
entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees and other costs incurred in that
action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which they may be
entitled.

    11.11.  Subject to the provisions of paragraph 8.4 relating to the
postponement of the Closing date, any party may on or before Closing date
terminate this agreement, without liability to any other:

    [1].  If any bona fide action or proceeding is pending against any party
on the closing date that could result in an unfavorable judgment, decree, or
order that would prevent or make unlawful the performance of this agreement; or

    [2].  If the legality and sufficiency of all steps taken and to be taken by
the parties and their shareholders in carrying out this agreement have not been
approved by counsel as required by this agreement.

                                     20
11.12.  If either Buyer or Selling Parties materially default in the due
and timely performance of any of their warranties, covenants, or agreements
under this agreement, the nondefaulting party or parties may on the closing
date give notice of termination of this agreement, in the manner provided in
paragraph 11.16.  The notice will specify with particularity the default or 
defaults on which the notice is based.  The termination will be effective five
days after the closing date, unless the specified default or defaults have been
cured on or before this effective date for termination.

    11.13. All representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements of the
parties contained in this agreement, or in any instrument, certificate,
opinion, or other writing provided for in it, will survive the Closing.

    11.14.  If any provision of this agreement is held invalid or unenforceable
by any court of final jurisdiction, it is the intent of the parties that all
other provisions of this agreement be construed to remain fully valid,
enforceable, and binding on the parties.

    11.15.  Any notice, payment, demand, offer, or communication required or
permitted to be given by any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to
have been delivered and given for all purposes (i) if it is actually received
by personal or electronic tender (such as, e.g., facsimile transmission or
computer modem transmission) by the person to whom it was directed, or (ii)
if sent by registered or certified mail, postage and charges prepaid, addressed
to the party at the address set forth below next to the signature of such
party, or to such other address as such party may from time to time specify
by written notice to the other party.  Any notice shall be deemed given as
of the earlier of the date actually received or the date on which it was
deposited in a regularly maintained depository for the deposit of United
States mail, properly addressed with postage prepaid.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties to this agreement have duly executed it
on the day and year first above written.
