QUEST Stockholders, and such breach is not cured within ten (10) days after the
breaching party's receipt of written notice of such breach;
(c) by QUEST and the QUEST Stockholders or their Agent if there has been a

12. RIGHT TO REACQUIRE.
12.1 Company Sale - First Right of Negotiation and Last Right of Refusal.
(a) If at any time during the twelve month period commencing on the Closing
Date, AGOE elects to divest itself of all or a majority of its ownership
interest in QUEST, whether by way of a stock sale or exchange, asset sale,
merger, reorganization, consolidation or any other form of disposition, in one
transaction or in a series of related transactions (each, a "COMPANY SALE
TRANSACTION"), then prior to AGOE commencing a Company Sale Transaction, AGOE
shall notify Thomet in writing of the same, and upon receipt of such written
notice, Thomet shall have thirty days within which to negotiate and agree to
terms with AGOE regarding the acquisition by Thomet of all or substantially all
of the QUEST Shares or the assets of QUEST, as determined by Thomet. AGOE and
Thomet agree to conduct such negotiation in good faith and with an eye towards
mutually agreeing upon fair and reasonable terms regarding such acquisition,
including the purchase price for such acquisition. If AGOE and Thomet are
unable to mutually agree on the terms of such acquisition within such thirty
day period, then, subject to Section 12.1(b) below, AGOE shall be free to
negotiate with third parties regarding a Company Sale Transaction.
(b) If, after failing to come to terms with Thomet, AGOE desires to enter into
a certain Company Sale Transaction with a third party, then prior to entering
into such Company Sale Transaction, AGOE shall first offer the Company Sale
Transaction to Thomet in writing on the same or more favorable terms as
proposed between AGOE and such third party, and Thomet shall have ten business
days after receipt of such written offer within which to accept or reject same.
If Thomet rejects such offer, then AGOE shall be free to enter into such
Company Sale Transaction with such third party; provided, however, that if AGOE
does not consummate such Company Sale Transaction within the thirty day period
following Thomet's rejection of such offer, then AGOE shall not thereafter
enter into any Company Sale Transaction unless and until such Company Sale
Transaction is again made subject to the last right of refusal in favor of
Thomet, as set forth herein.
12.2 Company Dissolution - First Right to Acquire.
(a) If at any time during the twelve month period commencing on the Closing
Date, AGOE desires to wind up, liquidate and dissolve QUEST, then prior to
commencing the same, AGOE shall notify Thomet in writing of the same, and
Thomet shall have the right, exercisable within ten business days after
Thomet's receipt of such written notice, to acquire all or substantially all of
the QUEST Shares or the assets of QUEST, as determined by Thomet. If Thomet
exercises such right, then AGOE shall sell, transfer and assign to Thomet, and
Thomet shall acquire from AGOE, the QUEST Shares or the assets of QUEST
designated in Thomet's exercise election, at a purchase price (the "PURCHASE
PRICE") upon which AGOE and Thomet shall mutually agree. If AGOE and Thomet are
unable to mutually agree on the Purchase Price, then the Purchase Price shall
be based on QUEST's fair market value, as determined by an independent
appraiser whom AGOE and Thomet jointly select. If AGOE and Thomet are unable to
agree on an independent appraiser, then AGOE and Thomet shall each select one
independent appraiser, and the two appraisers selected shall then appoint a
third independent appraiser, who shall be a senior appraiser accredited by the
American Society of Appraisers. The third appraiser shall determine the fair
market value of the QUEST Shares.
(b) Thomet shall pay the Purchase Price, at his option, either in full in
immediately available funds on the closing date of the acquisition or by the
payment of at least 10% of the Purchase Price in immediately available funds on
the closing date of the acquisition and the payment of the unpaid balance of
the Purchase Price by the execution and delivery of a promissory note. Such
promissory note shall bear interest at a rate equal to one percentage point
above the "prime rate" (or "base rate") reported in the "Money Rates" column or
section of the United States version of The Wall Street Journal in the last
published edition prior to the closing date of the acquisition, and shall
provide for the original principal amount thereof to be paid in equal monthly
installments of principal and interest so that such amount is fully paid over a
five year term.
12.3 For purposes of this Section 12, the term "Thomet" shall mean Kurt
Thomet, or, as the case may be, any designee of Kurt Thomet or entity with
which Kurt Thomet is affiliated.
