necessary for the Purchaser to operate the Business in substantially the same
manner as such operations have heretofore been conducted through the date

days from the date hereof.

         2.7. Accounts Receivable. Schedule 2.7 hereto sets forth a true and

Each of the Accounts Receivable arose (i) pursuant to the Assumed Colocation
Agreements and (ii) from bona fide transactions in the ordinary course of
business consistent with the Sellers' past practices. To the knowledge of the
Sellers and the Stockholders, there are no setoffs or counterclaims in respect
of such Accounts Receivable.

         2.8. Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.8 hereto, there are
no suits or actions, administrative, arbitration or other proceedings or
governmental investigations pending or, to Sellers' knowledge or the
Stockholders' knowledge, threatened against or affecting any of the Purchased

awards against the Sellers in respect of the Purchased Assets or the Assumed
Liabilities that are not satisfied or remain outstanding or that would prohibit

received no written claim that has not been resolved regarding any breach of
warranty, product liability or infringement relating to the Business, the
Purchased Assets or the Datacenters.

otherwise, affecting the Business or any of the Purchased Assets.

         2.10. Absence of Certain Changes. Since May 31, 2002, the Sellers have
conducted the Business only in the ordinary course consistent with past
practice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, since May

Leases; (vii) other than as contemplated by this Agreement or commitment by the
Sellers or the Stockholders to do any of the foregoing; or (viii) any
bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement or other case or proceeding under
any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or any dissolution, winding-up or liquidation
proceeding in respect of the Seller.

         2.11. Taxes. The Sellers have no liability for any tax in respect of
the Purchased Assets or the Business.

         2.12. Assumed Colocation Agreements; Compliance. Set forth on Schedule
2.12 hereto is a true and complete list and a brief description of each of the
Assumed Colocation Agreements, and any customer security deposits, letters of
credit or pre-paid service charges and all rights and claims thereunder. Each of
the Assumed Colocation Agreements is legal, valid, binding and enforceable and
is in full force and effect and is validly assignable to Purchaser. The Sellers
have performed all material obligations required to be performed by it under
each of the Assumed Colocation Agreements and is not in breach or default, and
is not alleged to be in breach or default, in any respect thereunder, and no
event has occurred (including the assignment of the Assumed Colocation
Agreements) and no condition or state of facts exists (or would exist upon the
giving of notice or the lapse of time or both) that would become or cause a
breach, default or event of default thereunder, would give to any person or
entity the right to cause such a termination or would cause an acceleration of
any obligation thereunder. Provided that the Sellers obtain all consents
required to be obtained from the other party or parties to the Assumed
Colocation Agreements by virtue of execution and delivery of this Agreement or
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in order to avoid
termination thereof, a breach or default thereunder or any other material change
or modification to the terms thereof, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not cause, or result in, a default of, termination of,
or acceleration of any rights (including change of control payments) under any
of the Assumed Colocation Agreements. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.12
hereto, no consent or approval of any Person is necessary to assign to the
Purchaser, on the terms of the Transaction Documents, any and all rights and
interests of the Sellers in the Assumed Colocation Agreements. The Sellers have
delivered to the Purchaser true and complete copies of each of the written
Assumed Colocation Agreements. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.12 hereto, all
payments due to the Sellers by the Datacenter customers under the Assumed
Colocation Agreements are, as of the date hereof, current. Neither the Sellers
nor the Stockholders are currently renegotiating any of the Assumed Colocation
Agreements nor have the Sellers or the Stockholders received any notice of
non-renewal, intent to terminate or any other modification that would adversely
affect the rights of the Sellers with respect to any of the Assumed Colocation
Agreements. Neither the Sellers nor the Stockholders have any reason to believe
that any of the Datacenter customers under the Assumed Colocation Agreements
would not continue after the Closing under the same terms and provisions
thereunder. Except for the Assumed Colocation Agreements and the Leases, there
are no other agreements, contracts or understandings that are material to the
Business.

restrictions, rights of way, easements, encroachments (onto or by improvements
on such Properties) and any other matters affecting title, and the Sellers are
in exclusive possession of the property described thereunder with respect
thereto. Each of the Leases is valid and in full force and effect and is binding
and enforceable in accordance with its terms, and neither the Sellers nor any

Properties for the full term, including all renewal rights, of each of the
Leases or similar agreements relating thereto. The Sellers have not received any
written notice of any proposed, planned or actual curtailment of service of any
utility supplied to any of the Datacenters. Such public utilities are all
connected pursuant to valid permits, are all in good working order and are
adequate to service the operations of the Datacenters as currently conducted and
permit full compliance with all requirements of applicable Laws. The Sellers
have not received written notice of any pending, threatened or contemplated

enforcement action or other investigation that may lead to claims against the
Sellers for cleanup costs, remedial action, damages to natural resources, to
other property or for personal injury including claims under Superfund. None of
the Leased Properties is listed or, to the knowledge of the Sellers or the
Stockholders' knowledge (without due inquiry), proposed for listing on the
National Priorities List pursuant to Superfund, CERCLIS or any state or local
list of sites requiring investigation or cleanup.

other handling or otherwise to any of the Leased Properties.

         2.15. Customer Relations. There exists no condition or state of facts
or circumstances involving the Sellers' customers, any customers or partners of
the Sellers' customers, suppliers, distributors or representatives in connection

         2.19. Accuracy of Information Furnished. No representation or warranty
by the Sellers or the Stockholders contained in this Agreement, including the

                                CERTAIN COVENANTS

         4.1. Conduct of Business Pending Closing. From and after the date
hereof and until the Closing Date or earlier termination hereof, unless the
Purchaser shall have otherwise consented in writing, the Sellers shall, and the
Stockholders shall cause the Sellers to, conduct its affairs as follows:

         (a) Ordinary Course; Compliance. The Sellers shall use its best efforts
to conduct the Business only in the ordinary course and consistent with past
practice and shall not take any action inconsistent therewith. The Sellers
shall, in accordance with good business practice, maintain the Purchased Assets
in good condition in their current state of repair, excepting normal wear and
tear, make scheduled payments in accordance with the terms of the Assumed
Liabilities and shall comply in a timely fashion with the provisions of the
Leases and all of the Assumed Colocation Agreements and any of its other
agreements and commitments in respect of the Business. The Sellers shall keep
available the services of certain of its present employees at the Datacenters
and employ its best efforts consistent with past practices to preserve intact
the relationships and the goodwill of its suppliers, customers and others having
business relations with it in connection with the Datacenters. The Sellers shall
allow, at the Purchaser's expense, certain personnel selected by the Purchaser
to prepare the operations of the Datacenters by the Purchaser after the Closing.
The Sellers shall maintain in full force and effect its policies of insurance,
subject only to variations required by the ordinary operations of the Business,
or else shall obtain, prior to the lapse of any such policy, substantially
similar coverage with insurers of recognized standing.

         (b) Transactions. The Sellers shall not: (i) sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any of the Purchased Assets; (ii) enter into any contract
or commitment, or modify or amend any of its existing contracts, other than in
the ordinary course of business, that will survive the Closing or otherwise
materially affect the use, operation or enjoyment of the Purchased Assets after
the Closing; (iii) enter into any contract or commitment, the performance of
which could be reasonably expected to extend the Closing Date; (iv) fail to pay,
perform, discharge or satisfy, when due, any of the obligations set forth in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 1.3 hereof; (v) incur or become subject
to, nor agree to incur or become subject to any debt, obligation or liability,
contingent or otherwise, except current liabilities and contractual obligations
in the ordinary course of business, (vi) take any action or omit to take any
action that could be reasonably expected to cause a breach or termination of any
of the Leases or any of the Assumed Colocation Agreements; or (vii) take any
other actions that could cause the representations and warranties in this
Agreement not to be true in any material respect on the Closing Date.

         4.2. Access to and Inspection of the Purchased Assets; Books and
Records.

         (a) Access to and Inspection of the Purchased Assets. Each of the
Sellers and the Stockholders covenants and agrees that from and after the date
of the execution of this Agreement until the Closing or earlier termination of
this Agreement, the Purchaser and its employees, contractors, agents and/or
representatives (including accountants, attorneys, environmental consultants and
engineers) (collectively, the "Purchaser's Representatives") may enter upon any
portion of the Datacenters or the Leased Properties from time to time during
reasonable business hours, or otherwise at a time agreed to by the Seller,
without any disruption of the normal conduct of the Business, and upon
reasonable notice to the Seller, for the purpose of inspections, making surveys
and testing, and examination of title and operating condition of the Purchased
Assets and the Leased Properties and showing the Datacenters to prospective
customers. The Sellers shall similarly make available to the Purchaser's
Representatives all of the properties, books, contracts, commitments, records,
officers, personnel, accountants (including independent public accountants and
their workpapers) and current customers of the Sellers in respect of the
Purchased Assets or the Leased Properties, and shall furnish the Purchaser all
such documents and copies of documents and all information with respect to the
Purchased Assets and Leased Properties as the Purchaser may reasonably request.

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

         (b) Books and Records. The Sellers covenant and agree that, from and
after the date of the execution of this Agreement until the Closing or earlier
termination of this Agreement, the Sellers shall make available to the
Purchaser's Representatives all financial statements, trial balances, accounts
receivable and accounts payable records, and fixed asset details for a period of
three (3) fiscal years prior to the Closing Date, including all documents
necessary for the Purchaser's accountants to conduct an audit for such time
period (the "Financial Statements"). The Purchaser shall have the right to have
audited financial statements prepared at Purchaser's cost and the Sellers shall
cooperate and assist Purchaser in preparing such audited financial statements,
including executing any documents required by the auditors. The Sellers shall
not destroy or dispose of any books, records or files relating to the Business
or the Purchased Assets to the extent that they pertain to the Business of the
Sellers prior to the Closing Date for a period of three (3) years from the
Closing Date or for the applicable statute of limitations for any tax liability.

         4.3. Acquisition Proposals. The Sellers and the Stockholders shall not
(nor shall they permit any of their affiliates to) directly or indirectly,
solicit, initiate or encourage any inquiries or the making of any proposals
from, engage or participate in any negotiations or discussions with, provide any
confidential information or data to, or enter into (or authorize) any agreement
or agreement in principle with any person or announce any intention to do any of
the foregoing, with respect to any offer or proposal to acquire all or any part
of the Purchased Assets, whether by merger, purchase of capital stock or assets
or otherwise.

         4.4. Fulfillment of Agreements. The Purchaser, the Stockholders and the
Sellers shall each use reasonable best efforts to cause all of those conditions
to the obligations of the other under Article V hereof that are not beyond his
or its reasonable control to be satisfied on or prior to the Closing and shall
use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to
do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate
and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Sellers and
the Stockholders shall, prior to the Closing, use reasonable best efforts to
obtain from each of the Landlords a Landlord's Consent and an estoppel
certificate (the "Estoppel Certificate") and any other consents (including the
consent to the assignment of the KMC Agreements) necessary to effectuate the
Closing.

         4.5. Certain Transitional Matters. Each of the Sellers and the
Stockholders shall cooperate with and assist the Purchaser (at the Purchaser's
cost) and the Purchaser's Representatives in order to provide, to the extent
reasonably requested by the Purchaser, an efficient transfer of control of the
Business and the Purchased Assets and to avoid any undue interruption in the
activities and operations of the Business following the Closing Date, including,
without limitation: (i) sufficient notification, in a form approved by the
Purchaser, prior to the Closing, to all of the Datacenters customers (the
"Customers Notice") by the Sellers of this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby, which notice shall instruct such customers to make all
payments, subject to and following the Closing, directly to the order of the
Purchaser and (ii) assistance with any attempts made by the Purchaser to hire
any of the Datacenters employees; provided, however, that, in no event shall the
Purchaser be obligated to hire any of such employees after the Closing. In that
regard, the Sellers and the Stockholders shall each use reasonable best efforts
to ensure that all of the Assumed Colocation Agreements, including the KMC
Agreements, and any rights under all warranties, representations and guaranties,
including those made by any of the Providers, under terms no less favorable than
those existing as of the date hereof, are properly assigned to the Purchaser by
the Closing. The Sellers shall notify the Purchaser immediately of any default
or breach, or any alleged default or breach by the Sellers or any counterparty
under the Leases or any of the Assumed Colocation Agreements. The Sellers also
shall not hire or obtain the services of any of the Providers to perform any
Alterations. To the extent that any Encumbrance in respect of Alterations exists
at any time from the date hereof until the Closing, the Sellers shall obtain an
appropriate release and satisfaction of lien, reasonably satisfactory to the
Purchaser (the "Releases"). To the extent that any Commissions are due or will
become due relating to the Business, Purchased Assets or Assumed Colocation
Agreements, the Sellers shall obtain an appropriate release, reasonably
satisfactory to the Purchaser (the "Commission Releases").

         4.6. Retained Liabilities. From and after the Closing, the Sellers
shall promptly pay, perform, discharge or satisfy, when due, all of the Retained
Liabilities.

         4.7. Covenant Against Competition and Disclosure. The Sellers shall not
directly or indirectly: (i) for the period after the Closing Date through March
31, 2006, control (as hereinafter defined) the operation of any colocation
facility within a one hundred (100) mile radius, measured by automobile, of any
colocation facility owned and controlled, directly or indirectly, by the
Purchaser on the Closing Date, as set forth on Schedule 4.7 hereto; or (ii)
disclose to anyone, or use in competition with the Purchaser, any information
with respect to any confidential or secret aspect of the operations of the
Business. Each of the Sellers acknowledge that the remedy at law for breach of
the provisions of this Section 4.7 will be inadequate and that, in addition to
any other remedy the Purchaser may have, they will be entitled to an injunction
restraining any such breach or threatened breach, without any bond or other
security being required. If any court construes the covenant in this Section 4.7
or any part thereof, to be unenforceable because of its duration or the area
covered thereby, the court shall have the power to reduce the duration or area
to the extent necessary so that such provision is enforceable. Until the second
(2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Sellers shall not directly or
indirectly solicit or offer employment to any person who is then an employee of
the Purchaser or was an employee of the Purchaser at any time after the Closing
to engage in any business similar to or in competition with the business of the
Sellers as it has been conducted prior to Closing. As used herein, the term
"control" shall mean, directly or indirectly, either voting or operational
management authority sufficient to determine the conduct of a business, or the
right to make financial, booking and/or personnel decisions for the business.
The ownership of fifty percent (50%) of the equity of a corporation or fifty
percent (50%) of an interest in a partnership shall be deemed control, with or
without any operational or any other authority.

<PAGE>

         4.8. Lease Assignment; New Lease; Performance of Lease Obligations. On
or before the Closing, each of the Sellers shall use its reasonable best efforts
to obtain, with respect to each Lease, a Landlord's Consent in connection with
an assignment of such Lease to Purchaser or its designee, on terms no less
favorable than each of such Leases, including the form, amount and burndown of
the security deposit, and reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser (each, a
"Lease Assignment" and collectively, the "Lease Assignments"); provided,
however, that, in the event that the Sellers shall not be able to obtain a Lease
Assignment for any of the Leases, the Purchaser, the Stockholders and the
Sellers each shall, with respect to such Lease, use his or its reasonable best
efforts to effect a new lease agreement between the Purchaser, or its designee,
and the Landlord under such Lease, on terms no less favorable than such Lease
and on such terms acceptable to the Purchaser in its sole and absolute
discretion (a "New Lease"). Prior to and up until the Closing Date, the Sellers
shall perform all of its obligations under the terms of the Leases. With respect
to each Lease Assignment, from and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser, or its
designee, shall perform all of the obligations of the Sellers under the terms of
the applicable Lease, and the Purchaser, or its designee, shall use its
reasonable best efforts to remove the Sellers from any post-Closing obligations
under the Leases.

         4.9. Supplemental Disclosure. The Sellers agree that, with respect to
their representations and warranties made in this Agreement, they will have a
continuing obligation to promptly provide detailed disclosure to the Purchaser
with respect to any matter hereafter arising or discovered that, if existing or
known at the date of this Agreement and on the Closing Date, would have been
required to be set forth or described in the Schedules hereto; provided,
however, that none of such disclosures shall be deemed to modify, amend or
supplement the representations and warranties of the Sellers or the schedules
herein, unless the Purchaser shall have consented thereto in writing. Within
five (5) days before the Closing, the Sellers shall provide to the Purchaser
updated information regarding the Revenues and Expenses as of the last day of
the month preceding the Closing (the "Updated Revenues and Expenses"), which
shall have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

         4.10. Receipt of Accounts Receivables. Prior to the Closing, the
Sellers shall make all arrangements, including providing the Customers Notice
and executing a power of attorney, necessary to ensure that the Purchaser, after
the Closing Date, will receive all of the Accounts Receivable; provided,
however, that, upon receipt thereof, the Purchaser shall, in turn, remit payment
thereof to the Seller; and provided, further, that although the Purchaser shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to collect the Accounts Receivable, the
Purchaser shall not, under no circumstances, be liable for any non-collection by
the Purchaser or the Sellers of such Accounts Receivable. Within one (1) day
before the Closing, the Sellers shall provide to the Purchaser an aged schedule
of the accounts receivable as of such date (the "Updated Accounts Receivable").

         4.11. Further Assurances. The Purchaser, the Stockholders and the
Sellers hereby agree to execute and deliver at the Closing, such other
documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other
actions, including obtaining assignments (and consents thereto) of the Assumed
Colocation Agreements, each on terms no less favorable than those existing as of
the date hereof, and consents, as may be necessary or reasonably desirable, to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

or the Purchaser; provided, however, that no party shall be relieved of any

this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 6 and Section 8 hereof shall
survive.


                                  ARTICLE VII.
                  SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS; INDEMNIFICATION


         7.1. Survival of Representations. The representations and warranties of
the Sellers in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto shall
survive the Closing Date for a period of three (3) years, and shall then
terminate; provided, however, that (i) any such representation and warranty
shall survive the time it would otherwise terminate only with respect to claims
of which notice has been given as provided in this Agreement prior to such
termination and (ii) such time limitation shall not apply to the representations
and warranties set forth in Sections 2.2 (Power and Authority), 2.5 (Condition

(Finders' Fee), 3.2 (Power and Authority) and 3.5 (Finder's Fee) hereof, which

         7.2. Indemnitors; Indemnified Persons. For purposes of this Section 7,
each party that, pursuant to this Section 7, shall agree to indemnify any other
person or entity shall be referred to, as applicable, as the "Indemnitor", and
each such person and entity who is entitled to be indemnified by any Indemnitor
shall be referred to as the "Indemnified Person" with respect to such
Indemnitor.

         7.3. Indemnity of Seller. Subject to Section 7.1 hereof, the Sellers
and the Stockholders hereby agree to defend, indemnify, hold harmless and
reimburse the Purchaser and its affiliates, directors, officers, agents,
consultants, successors and employees from and against any and all claims,
liabilities, losses, damages and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) that shall be caused by
or related to or shall arise out of: (a) any breach (or alleged breach in
connection with a claim asserted by a third party) of any representation or
warranty of the Sellers or the Stockholders, as applicable, contained in this
Agreement and in any certificate delivered by the Sellers or the Stockholders,
as applicable, pursuant hereto; (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement of
the Sellers or the Stockholders, as applicable, contained in this Agreement; and
(c) any failure by the Sellers or the Stockholders, as applicable, to satisfy
the Retained Liabilities and the operation of the Business prior to the Closing,
and shall reimburse such Indemnified Persons for all costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) as they shall be
incurred, in connection with paying, investigating, preparing for or defending
any action, claim, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding, whether or not in
connection with pending or threatened litigation, that shall be caused by or
related to or shall arise out of such breach (or alleged breach in connection
with a claim asserted by a third party), whether or not any such Indemnified
Person shall be named as a party thereto and whether or not any liability shall
result therefrom. The Sellers and the Stockholders further agree that he or it
shall not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser settle or
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened
claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be
sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or consent shall include an
unconditional release of each Indemnified Person under this Section 7.3 from all
liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

         7.4. Indemnity of Purchaser. Subject to Section 7.1 hereof, the
Purchaser hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse the
Sellers and its affiliates, directors, officers, agents, consultants, successors
and employees, including the Stockholders, from and against any and all claims,
liabilities, losses, damages and expenses incurred by them (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements) that shall be caused by or related to or
shall arise out of: (a) any breach (or alleged breach in connection with a claim
asserted by a third party) of any representation or warranty of the Purchaser
contained in this Agreement; (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement of the
Purchaser contained in this Agreement and in any certificate delivered by
Purchaser and/or Parent pursuant hereto; and (c) any failure by the Purchaser to
satisfy the Assumed Liabilities and the operation of the Business after the
Closing, and shall reimburse such Indemnified Persons for all costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) as shall be incurred,
in connection with paying, investigating, preparing for or defending any action,
claim, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding, whether or not in connection
with pending or threatened litigation, that shall be caused by or related to or
shall arise out of such breach (or alleged breach in connection with a claim
asserted by a third party), whether or not such Indemnified Persons shall be
named as a party thereto and whether or not any liability shall result
therefrom. The Purchaser further agrees that it shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Sellers or the Stockholders settle or compromise or
consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action,
suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder
unless such settlement, compromise or consent shall include an unconditional
release of each Indemnified Person under this Section 7.4 from all liability
arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

         7.5. Procedures for Indemnification; Defense. Promptly after receipt by
an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding
with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder, such Indemnified
Person shall notify the Indemnitor of the commencement of such action or
proceeding; provided, however, that failure to so notify the Indemnitor shall
not relieve the Indemnitor from any liability that the Indemnitor may have
hereunder or otherwise, unless the Indemnitor shall be materially prejudiced by
such failure. If the Indemnitor shall so elect, the Indemnitor shall assume the
defense of such action or proceeding, including the employment of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall pay the fees and
disbursements of such counsel. In the event, however, that such Indemnified
Person shall reasonably determine in its judgment that having common counsel
would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or alternative defenses
shall be available to an Indemnified Person or if the Indemnitor shall fail to
assume the defense of the action or proceeding in a timely manner, then such
Indemnified Person may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any
such action or proceeding and the Indemnitor shall pay the reasonable fees and
disbursements of such counsel; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall not
be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one (1) separate
counsel for all Indemnified Persons in any jurisdiction in any single action or
proceeding. In any action or proceeding the defense of which the Indemnitor
shall assume, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in (but
not control) such litigation and to retain its own counsel at such Indemnified
Person's own expense except as otherwise provided above in this Section 7.5, so
long as such participation does not interfere with the Indemnitor's control of
such litigation.

<PAGE>

         7.6. Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision of
this Section 7 to the contrary, no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to
assert any claim for indemnification in respect of claims for breach of
representations or warranties under each of Sections 7.3(a) and 7.4(a) hereof
until such time as claims for indemnification thereunder shall exceed $5,000;
provided, however, that the dollar amount of such indemnification obligations
may not exceed, in the aggregate, the amount of the Purchase Price to the extent
actually paid (the "Claims Limitation"), unless the Indemnitor shall have
provided information to the Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be, in
connection herewith, or made representations or warranties hereunder, that, in
either case, were fraudulent or made in bad faith, in which event the Claims
Limitation shall not apply; and provided, further, that the Purchaser's
post-Closing obligations under Section 4.10 hereof shall not be subject to the
provisions of this Section 7.

         7.7. Exclusive Remedy. Each of the Purchaser, the Stockholders and the
Sellers hereby acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing that
(absent fraud and subject to applicable Law), his or its sole exclusive remedy
(at law or equity) with respect to any and all claims against the other party
shall be made pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this
Section 7.

acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered,
such instruments, documents, transfers, conveyances and assurances as may be

materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other
provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto

original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to
the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest
extent possible.
