                  exclusively liable and responsible for, any Indebtedness (as
                  defined below), obligations, Contracts or liabilities of
                  Seller relating to the Business, including but not limited to,

                  to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration
                  under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any
                  Indebtedness, license, lease or Contract or similar instrument

                  subdivision thereof or court, tribunal, commission, board,
                  bureau, agency or legislative, executive, governmental or
                  regulatory authority or agency (a "GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY") to

         (b)      Buyer has all requisite power and authority to execute and

                  execution of this Agreement.

         (b)      Seller will indemnify Buyer and its employees, officers,
                  directors, agents and representatives, in their capacities as
                  such, and the successors, heirs and personal representatives

                  against and hold them harmless from any and all damage, loss,
                  liability and expense (including, without limitation,
                  reasonable expenses of investigation and attorneys' fees and
                  expenses) (collectively "LOSS") incurred or suffered by any
                  Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of or relating to (i) any
                  breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other
                  agreement of Seller contained herein, (ii) any Retained
                  Liabilities, (iii) any Retained Taxes or (iv) any alleged,

                  officers, directors, agents, consultants or employees of
                  Seller or any of its affiliates or predecessors) with respect

                  agreements, policies or similar undertakings on or prior to
                  the execution of this Agreement.

                  and all Loss incurred or suffered by any Seller Indemnified
                  Party arising out of or relating to (i) any breach of any

                                       7
   8
         (d)      A Person seeking indemnification pursuant to Sections 5(b) and
                  5(c) (an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") with respect to a claim, action
                  or proceeding by a Person who is not a Buyer Indemnified Party
                  or a Seller Indemnified Party will give prompt written notice
                  to the party from whom such indemnification is sought (the
                  "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") of the assertion of any claim, or the
                  commencement of any action or proceeding, in respect of which
                  indemnity may be sought hereunder; provided that the failure
                  to give such notice will not affect the Indemnified Party's
                  rights to indemnification hereunder, unless such failure would
                  prejudice in any material respect the Indemnifying Party's
                  ability to defend such claim, action or proceeding. The
                  Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense
                  of any such action or proceeding at its expense, provided that
                  (x) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, the
                  Indemnifying Party has adequate resources to undertake such
                  defense and satisfy any indemnifiable Loss arising from such
                  action or proceeding and (y) the selection of counsel is
                  approved by the Indemnified Party (which approval will not be
                  unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the Indemnified Party so
                  determines that the Indemnifying Party does not have adequate
                  resources, or the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume
                  the defense of any such action or proceeding, or fails to make
                  such an election within 20 days after it receives such notice
                  pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5(d), the
                  Indemnified Party may assume such defense at the expense of
                  the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party will have the
                  right to participate in (but not control) the defense of an
                  action or proceeding defended by the Indemnifying Party
                  hereunder and to retain its own counsel in connection with
                  such action or proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such
                  counsel will be at the Indemnified Party's expense unless (i)
                  the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have mutually
                  agreed in writing to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the
                  named parties in any such action or proceeding (including
                  impleaded parties) include the Indemnifying Party and the
                  Indemnified Party, and representation of the Indemnifying
                  Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would
                  create a conflict, provided that, unless otherwise agreed by
                  the Indemnifying Party, if the Indemnifying Party is obligated
                  to pay the fees and expenses of such counsel, the Indemnifying
                  Party will be obligated to pay only the fees and expenses
                  associated with one attorney or law firm, as applicable, for
                  the Indemnified Party. An Indemnifying Party will not be
                  liable under Sections 5(b) or 5(c) for any settlement effected
                  without its written consent, which consent will not be
                  unreasonably withheld or delayed, of any claim, action or
                  proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought
                  hereunder.

6.       FURTHER ASSURANCES BY SELLER. Seller will execute such additional
         documents as Buyer may reasonably request to vest or confirm the
         vesting in Buyer of all of the Assets and title thereto.

7.       AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in
         writing signed by Seller and Buyer.

8.       FEES AND EXPENSES. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with
         this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this will be paid
         by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the
         transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

9.       SELLER'S KNOWLEDGE. All references to the "Seller's knowledge" or to
         words of similar import will be deemed to be references to the actual
         knowledge of one or more of the officers or directors of Seller.

10.      GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in
         accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to
         its conflict of law rules, principles or provisions of such state or of
         any other state. The sole jurisdiction and venue for any litigation
         arising out of this Agreement will be an appropriate federal or
         district court located in the State of New York, and each party hereby
         consents to such jurisdiction. Each party agrees not to raise and
         waives any objection to or defense based on the venue of any such court
         or forum non conveniens.

11.      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
         WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING,
         CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT, AT LAW OR IN
         EQUITY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
         TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

12.      SECTION HEADINGS. Section headings are for convenient reference only
         and will not affect the meaning or have any bearing on the
         interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

13.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, together with any other documents
         referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto that form a part
         hereof, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with
         respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all other prior
         agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the
         parties or either of them with respect to the subject matter hereof.

14.      COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
         counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of
         which will constitute one and the same instrument.

15.      EFFECTIVE TIME. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
         this Agreement, this Agreement will be deemed to be effective for all
         accounting, tax and other purposes as of 12:00 a.m. on April 1, 2000
