       3.     The fixed purchase price for the Acquired Assets,  payable in cash
on a date three weeks  following  the Closing to allow the parties to  determine
the closing  adjustments,  shall be $100,000.  The fixed purchase price shall be
adjusted as at the Closing for:

                     (i)    rent,  utilities and taxes,  if any, with respect to
                            the premises in Sharon, Massachusetts; and

       4.     The contingent  purchase price shall be an amount equal to 26.665%
of the net profit (as  defined  below) of the  Business  (whether  operated in a
subsidiary  or  division of  Purchaser)  in excess of $10,000 in each of the two
years commencing April 1, 2003, but in no event more than a maximum aggregate of
$200,000  for such two years.  For  purposes  hereof,  net profit shall be gross

expense.  The first installment of the contingent  purchase price, if any, shall
be paid as soon as practicable after determining net profits of the Business for
the year ending March 31, 2004 and the final installment,  if any, shall be paid
as soon as  practicable  after  determining  net profits of the Business for the
year ending March 31, 2005.

foot  hereof)  represent  and warrant  that Seller at the date hereof and at the

with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  consistently  applied;  (vi)

consultant  to,  any  firm,  corporation  or  institution  directly  engaged  in
competition with the Purchaser or any subsidiary; provided that Purchaser or one
of its  subsidiaries  is actively  engaged in such  business  at such time;  and

a passive  investor in a publicly held company which do not constitute more than
5% of the outstanding  shares of such company.  Purchaser  acknowledges that the
Seller  may be  liquidated  following  the  Closing  and,  in  such  event,  the

contemplated  hereby pursuant to  arrangements  that will impose on the other or
upon  the  assets  being  transferred  hereunder  any  liability,  fees or other
compensation in connection with such transactions.

       13.    Prior to the date hereof  Purchaser  has  provided to Seller,  and
will  continue to provide to Seller,  certain  leads as to  potential  business.
Seller agrees that if the transactions  contemplated  hereby are not consummated
that it  will  cease  all  business  relations  with  those  leads,  other  than
activities  required under  pre-existing  binding  agreements.  Seller agrees to
provide Purchaser with drafts of all agreements contemplated with leads provided
by Purchaser for its approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

       14.    At its option Purchaser may purchase the Acquired Assets through a
wholly-owned  subsidiary.  If a subsidiary is used,  then all of its obligations
are hereby guaranteed by Purchaser.
