                                   ARTICLE IV

                                 PURCHASE PRICE

          Section 4.1 Purchase Price. In consideration of the conveyance to
Purchaser of all right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets and
the other rights granted to Purchaser hereunder, and subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, Purchaser shall:

          (a) at Closing, assume the Assumed Liabilities; and

          (b) pay an aggregate purchase price (the "Purchase Price") of up to
$5,139,000, adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Article IV, Section
3.1(b) and Section 10.6 hereto, which shall be delivered as follows:

          (i) at Closing, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an aggregate of
     $4,164,400 in cash (the "Closing Date Cash Payment") or such lesser amount
     determined in accordance with Section 3.1(b);

          (ii) Subject to the terms of Section 4.2 hereto, Purchaser shall pay
     to Seller, within thirty (30) calendar days of the six (6) month
     anniversary of the Closing Date (the "Six Month Anniversary") (or such
     later date as set forth in Section 4.2 hereto), an aggregate amount of
     $749,600, or such lesser amount as determined in accordance with Section
     4.2(b), Section 4.2(c) and Section 10.6 hereto, in immediately available
     funds (the "Holdback Payment"); and

          (iii) Subject to the terms of Section 4.3 hereto, Purchaser shall pay
     to Seller the Contingent Payment; provided that the Contingent Payment
     shall not to exceed $225,000.

          Section 4.2 Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.

          (a) The parties agree that, on the Closing Date, the Net Asset Value
of the Business should be $1,250,000. "Net Asset Value," as used herein, shall
be defined as the value of the tangible assets of the Business, including the
inventory, accounts


                                        4

<PAGE>

receivable, rebates receivable, prepaid expenses, Motor Vehicles (net of
depreciation) and fixed assets (less accumulated depreciation, depletion and
amortization) net of the Assumed Liabilities. In the event the actual Net Asset
Value as of the Closing Date, as finally determined pursuant to the terms of
this Section 4.2(a) (the "Actual Net Asset Value"), is (i) less than $1,250,000,
the Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward, dollar-for-dollar, by the extent
to which $1,250,000 exceeds the Actual Net Asset Value or (ii) greater than
$1,250,000, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted upward, dollar-for-dollar, by
the extent to which the Actual Net Asset Value exceeds $1,250,000 (the "Purchase
Price Adjustment"). The balance sheet establishing the Actual Net Asset Value,
as finally determined pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.2(a), is
hereinafter referred to as the "Final Closing Date Statement." All items on the
Final Closing Date Statement shall be (i) determined consistent with the
methodology of Net Asset Value used to calculate the $1,250,000 base number,
(ii) computed in accordance with this Section 4.2(a) and U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles, consistently applied ("GAAP"), and (iii) audited or
reviewed by an independent accounting firm at Purchaser's expense. Purchaser, in
conjunction with its independent accountants (and in concurrence with Seller's
independent accountants), shall prepare and present to Seller a draft of the
Final Closing Date Statement (the "Preliminary Closing Date Statement")
promptly, but not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing Date.
Seller, together with its representatives and accountants, shall have the right
to review the workpapers of Purchaser and Purchaser's accountants utilized in
preparing the Preliminary Closing Date Statement for purposes of verifying the
accuracy and fairness of the presentation of the Preliminary Closing Date
Statement. Seller shall notify Purchaser of any dispute with the Preliminary
Closing Date Statement promptly, but not more than thirty (30) calendar days
after its receipt by Seller ("Dispute Notice"). If Seller timely delivers a
Dispute Notice to Purchaser, Seller and Purchaser shall, for a period of thirty
(30) calendar days from the date the Dispute Notice is delivered to Purchaser,
attempt in good faith to resolve the items in dispute. The Preliminary Closing
Date Statement, together with any adjustments or corrections agreed upon by
Purchaser and Seller, shall comprise the Final Closing Date Statement. If the
parties cannot agree on the Final Closing Date Statement within thirty (30)
calendar days after the later of (x) the delivery of the Preliminary Closing
Date Statement to Seller by Purchaser and (y) the delivery of a Dispute Notice
to Purchaser by Seller, as applicable, the parties shall submit the dispute to a
mutually acceptable "Big Four" accounting firm (the "Reviewing Accountants"),
whose determination shall be binding on the parties. The fees of such Reviewing
Accountants shall be divided equally between Purchaser and Seller.

          (b) In satisfaction of a downward Purchase Price Adjustment, if any,
as finally determined pursuant to Section 4.2(a) hereto, Purchaser shall reduce
accordingly the Holdback Payment. If the amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment
exceeds the Holdback Payment, Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay the
Holdback Payment and Seller shall pay to Purchaser such amount in excess of the
Holdback Payment in immediately available funds within thirty (30) calendar days
of the Six Month Anniversary or, if there is a disagreement with respect to the
Final Closing Date Statement which is not resolved prior to the Six Month
Anniversary, within thirty (30) calendar days after such disagreement is finally
resolved pursuant to the terms of Section 4.2(a) hereto, and subject to the
terms of this Article IV and Section 10.6. In satisfaction


                                        5

of an upward Purchase Price Adjustment, if any, as finally determined pursuant
to Section 4.2(a) hereto, Purchaser shall pay to Seller such amount in excess
$1,250,000 in immediately available funds within thirty (30) calendar days of
the Six Month Anniversary or, if there is a disagreement with respect to the
Final Closing Date Statement which is not resolved prior to the Six Month
Anniversary, within thirty (30) calendar days after such disagreement is finally
resolved pursuant to the terms of Section 4.2(a) hereto.

          (c) Purchaser shall deliver to Seller promptly, but not more than
thirty (30) calendar days after the Six Month Anniversary, a detailed
calculation of the Lost Bed Reduction Amount, an amount by which the Holdback
Payment shall be reduced. Seller shall notify Purchaser of any dispute with such
calculation of the Lost Bed Reduction Amount promptly, but not more than thirty
(30) calendar days, after its receipt by Seller. If Seller timely delivers a
notice of disagreement to Purchaser, Seller and Purchaser shall, for a period of
thirty (30) calendar days from the date notice is delivered to Purchaser,
attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute with respect to the Lost Bed
Reduction Amount. If the parties cannot agree on the Lost Bed Reduction Amount
within thirty (30) calendar days after the delivery of a notice of disagreement
to Purchaser by Seller, the parties shall submit the dispute to a mutually
acceptable third party, whose determination shall be binding on the parties. The
fees of such reviewing third party shall be divided equally between Purchaser
and Seller. In the instance of a dispute regarding the calculation of the
Cancelled Reduction Amount, Purchaser shall pay the Holdback Payment, as
adjusted if necessary in accordance with this Section 4.2, promptly, but not
more than five (5) Business Days, after final resolution of the calculation of
the Lost Bed Reduction Amount.

The "Lost Bed Reduction Amount" shall be equal to:

                           ($2,354) x (# of Lost Beds)

"Lost Beds" for purposes of the above formula shall represent a reduction in the
number of residents serviced versus the current account base of 1,699
licensed-bed equivalents defined as (i) the number of licensed beds in
Facilities that have terminated services, or for which Purchaser has received a
notice of termination of services, prior to the Six Month Anniversary and (ii)
with respect to individuals participating in Medicare waiver programs, the
decrease, if any, in the number of patients actively served as of the Six Month
Anniversary based on the average monthly patient count for the three (3) months
prior to the Closing Date, provided that the average monthly patient count for
patients in Medicaid waiver programs that have terminated service, or given
notice of termination of service, as of the Six Month Anniversary shall be
considered to equal zero. For purposes of this Section 4.2(c), Purchaser agrees
to continue to operate the Business in its current location from the Closing
Date through the Six Month Anniversary. Should Purchaser cease to operate the
Business in its current location through the Six Month Anniversary the number of
Lost Beds shall be deemed to equal zero.

          Section 4.3 Contingent Payment. At any time prior to January 1, 2007,
within ten (10) Business Days of the day Purchaser begins providing services to
a

Contingent Payment Facility (such day being the applicable "Contingent Payment
Determination Date") pursuant to a written contract that is consistent with the
terms of Seller's current contracts with similar Facilities (including, but not
limited to, consistent provisions regarding pricing, payment terms, dispensing
systems and service requirements generally), Purchaser shall pay to Seller, in
readily available funds, the applicable amount of the Contingent Payment owed to
the Seller in connection with such Contingent Payment Facility.

The "Contingent Payment" shall be equal to:

                        ($1,800) x (# of Contingent Beds)

"Contingent Beds" for purposes of the above formula shall mean the number of
licensed beds in the applicable Contingent Payment Facility that are being
serviced by the Business as of the Contingent Payment Determination Date.

          Section 4.4 Allocation of Consideration. All capitalizable costs and
other amounts constituting consideration within the meaning of, and for the
purposes of, Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations thereunder shall be
allocated among the Transferred Assets, the non-solicitation obligations
contained in Section 8.14 hereto, the non-competition obligations contained in
Section 8.15 hereto and any other assets or rights acquired by Purchaser
hereunder, as applicable, in the manner required by Section 1060 of the Code and
the regulations thereunder and all applicable Laws. Within sixty (60) calendar
days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a proposed
schedule (the "Allocation Schedule") allocating all such amounts as provided
herein. The Allocation Schedule shall become final and binding on the parties
hereto fifteen (15) calendar days after Purchaser provides such schedule to
Seller, unless Seller objects in writing to Purchaser, specifying the basis for
its objection and preparing an alternative allocation. If Seller does object,
Purchaser and Seller shall in good faith attempt to resolve the dispute within
fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt by Purchaser of written notice of Seller's
objection. Any such resolution shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.
Any unresolved disputes shall be promptly submitted to the Reviewing Accountants
for determination, which determination shall be final and binding on the parties
hereto. Purchaser and Seller will each pay one-half of the fees and expenses of
the Reviewing Accountants. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other
and the Reviewing Accountants in connection with the matters contemplated by
this Section 4.4, including, without limitation, by furnishing such information
and access to books, records (including, without limitation, accountants work
papers), personnel and properties as may be reasonably requested. Each of the
parties hereto agrees to (a) prepare and timely file all Tax Returns, including,
without limitation, Form 8594 (and all supplements thereto) in a manner
consistent with the Allocation Schedule as finalized and (b) act in accordance
with the Allocation Schedule for all tax purposes. The parties hereto will
revise the Allocation Schedule to the extent necessary to reflect any Purchase
Price Adjustment, any payment made under Article X hereto or other post-Closing
payment made pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement. In the case of
any such payment, Purchaser shall propose a revised Allocation Schedule, and the
parties hereto shall follow the


                                        7

of the Closing Date on a per diem basis and Seller shall be responsible for and,
in any case where payment to the applicable taxing authority is to be made by
Purchaser, shall pay such amount to Purchaser, the portion of such amounts
allocable to the period or portion thereof ending on the Closing Date for which
payment is due after the Closing Date at least ten (10) Business Days prior to

                                   ARTICLE VI

               REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER AND PARENT

          Except as otherwise disclosed to Purchaser in a schedule delivered to
Purchaser by Seller and Parent prior to the execution of this Agreement (with
specific reference to the representations and warranties in this Article VI to

Seller and Parent, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to Purchaser as
follows:

          Section 6.1 Organization and Good Standing. Seller is a corporation
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the
State of Indiana. Parent is a corporation duly organized and validly existing
under the Laws of the State of Indiana. Each of Seller and Parent has all
requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease, operate and otherwise
hold its properties and assets and to carry on its business (including, without
limitation, the Business) as presently conducted. Seller is duly qualified or
licensed to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in
every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it
(including, without limitation, the Business) or the assets or properties owned
or leased by it requires qualification, except where the failure to be so
qualified, licensed or in good standing would not, individually or in the
aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          Section 6.2 Authorization and Effect of Agreement. Seller and Parent
has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement and the Collateral Agreements to which they are or are proposed to be
a party and to perform their respective obligations hereunder and under any such
Collateral Agreements. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
Collateral Agreements by Seller and Parent and the performance by Seller and
Parent of their respective obligations hereunder and thereunder, as the case may
be, and the consummation by Seller and Parent of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, as the case may be, have been duly authorized by their
boards of directors and no other corporate or other action on the part of any of
Seller or Parent is necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Collateral Agreements to which they are or are proposed to be
a party or the consummation of the transactions to which they are or are
proposed to be a party contemplated hereby or thereby. This Agreement has been
duly and validly executed and delivered by Seller and Parent and constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller and Parent, enforceable against
Seller and Parent in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws affecting creditors' rights and remedies generally.

          Section 6.3 Consents and Approvals; No Violations. No filing with, and
no Permit or Consent of any Governmental Authority or any other Person is
necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
any Collateral Agreement. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement
or any Collateral Agreement by Seller or Parent who is or is proposed to be a
party nor the consummation by Seller or Parent of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or


                                       14

<PAGE>

any Collateral Agreement to which they are or are proposed to be a party nor
compliance by Seller or Parent with any of the provisions hereto or thereto will
(a) conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the certificate or
articles of incorporation or by-laws of Seller or Parent, (b) result in a
violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of
time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, modification,
cancellation or acceleration or loss of material benefits) under, any of the
terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract to which Seller or Parent is a
party or may be subject or which is included in the Transferred Assets or the
Assumed Liabilities or (c) violate any Permit or Law applicable to Seller or
Parent, the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business.

          Section 6.4 No Third-Party Options. There are no existing agreements,
options, commitments or other rights granting any Person the right to acquire
Seller's or Parent's right, title or interest in or to any of the Transferred
Assets or any interest therein.

          Section 6.5 Permits; Compliance with Law.

          (a) Section 6.5(a) of the Disclosure Schedule lists all Permits held
by Seller that are used, or held for use in, necessary for or otherwise relating
to the Business. Seller holds all Permits necessary for the lawful conduct of
the Business under and pursuant to all applicable Laws. All Permits have been
legally obtained and maintained and are valid and in full force and effect.
Seller is duly licensed to conduct the Business as presently conducted in all
states in which the Business is conducted and is in compliance in all material
respects with all of the terms and conditions of such licenses. There has been
no material change in the facts or circumstances reported or assumed in the
application for or granting of any Permits. No outstanding violations are or
have been recorded in respect of any of the Permits. No proceeding is pending
or, to Seller's and Parent's Knowledge, threatened to suspend, revoke, withdraw,
modify or limit any Permit, and, to Seller's and Parent's Knowledge, there is no
fact, error or admission relevant to any Permit that would permit the
suspension, revocation, withdrawal, modification or limitation of, or result in
the threatened suspension, revocation, withdrawal, modification or limitation
of, or in the loss of any Permit.

          (b) The Business is being, and has been conducted in compliance, in
all material respects, with all Permits and applicable Laws. To the Knowledge of
Seller and Parent, there are no Laws proposed, as of the date of this Agreement,
which are reasonably likely, individually or in the aggregate, to have an
adverse impact on the Business or the timely consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby.

          Section 6.6 Litigation. There is no action, proceeding, claim, suit,
opposition, challenge, cancellation proceeding, charge or investigation
(collectively, "Proceedings") pending or, to Seller's and Parent's Knowledge,
threatened, that questions the validity of this Agreement or any Collateral
Agreement or any action taken or to be taken in connection with this Agreement
or any Collateral Agreement. There are no Proceedings pending or, to Seller's
and Parent's Knowledge, threatened that relate to the Transferred Assets, the
Assumed Liabilities or the Business. There are no

outstanding judgments, writs, injunctions, orders, decrees or settlements that
apply, in whole or in part, to the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities
or the Business that restrict the ownership or use of the Transferred Assets,
the Assumed Liabilities or the Business in any way.

          Section 6.7 Assets Necessary to Business. The Transferred Assets
constitute all of the rights, properties and assets used, or held for use in,
necessary for or otherwise relating to the conduct or operation of the Business

     with the operation of the Business, and shall indemnify, defend and save
     harmless Seller from and against any and all liability, of every kind and
     nature in connection with the operation of the Business by Seller after the
     Closing.

          (c) Section 8.17(b) hereto shall not be deemed to limit the
representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification obligations therefore
of Seller and Parent contained elsewhere in this Agreement.

          Section 8.18 Change of Name. On the Closing Date, Seller and Parent
shall discontinue any business operations under any trademarks, corporate names,
internet domain names or trade names owned or used by Seller, or any similar
names (collectively, the "Trade Names"), other than such business as is in
furtherance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and as is for the
benefit of, or at the express request of, Purchaser. Seller and Parent agree
that they shall cause their Affiliates to refrain from conducting any business
after the Closing Date under the Trade Names, other than such business as is in
furtherance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and as is for the
benefit of, or at the express request of, Purchaser.

          Section 8.19 Payment of Indebtedness.

          (a) No fewer than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing, Seller
shall provide to Purchaser (i) copies of "pay-off" letters from the holders of
all indebtedness for borrowed money of Seller who hold Liens on the Transferred
Assets and (ii) copies of letters from such holders of indebtedness confirming
that all Liens relating to such indebtedness will be removed effective upon
payment of the amount set forth in the applicable pay-off letter, in each case
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. At the Closing
Seller shall pay to the holders of indebtedness of Seller those amounts set
forth in the applicable pay-off letters. This Section 8.19(a) shall not apply to
any indebtedness and/or financing relating to the Motor Vehicles, which is
subject to Section 8.19(b) hereto.

          (b) As soon as is reasonably practical after the Closing, but in any
event within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Closing, Seller shall pay off
any and all indebtedness and/or financing relating to the Motor Vehicles and
shall provide to Purchaser (i) evidence, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Purchaser, that all Liens relating to such indebtedness and/or
financing have been removed and (ii) certificates of title to the Motor
Vehicles, duly endorsed, completed and acknowledged for transfer.

          Section 8.20 Satisfaction of Leases. No fewer than one (1) Business
Day prior to the Closing, Seller shall present to Purchaser written statements
prepared by the owner of any equipment and other personal property (but not any
real property) governed by any capital lease, providing the full amount to be
paid to satisfy all liabilities and obtain good and marketable title to such
equipment and property (the "Payoff Amount"). Simultaneous with the Closing,
Seller shall pay such Payoff Amount in immediately available funds to the lessor
under such capital lease, except to the extent such Payoff Amount is an Assumed
Liability as contemplated Section 3.1(b).

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                  TERMINATION

          Section 9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be abandoned at any time prior
to the Closing:


                                       36

<PAGE>

          (a) by written consent of each of Seller, Parent and Purchaser;

          (b) by either of Seller, Parent or Purchaser if:

          (i) a Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or
     ruling or taken any other action (which order, decree or ruling the parties
     hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to lift), in each case
     permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the
     transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling
     or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; or

          (ii) the Closing shall not have occurred on or before October 25, 2006
     (other than due principally to the failure of the party seeking to
     terminate this Agreement to perform any obligations under this Agreement
     required to be performed by it at or prior to the Closing);

          (c) by Purchaser if there is a default or breach by Seller or Parent
with respect to the due and timely performance of any of its covenants or
agreements contained herein, or if the representations or warranties of Seller
or Parent contained in this Agreement shall have become inaccurate, in either
case such that the conditions set forth in Section 5.4 hereto would not be
satisfied and such breach or default or inaccuracy is not curable or, if
curable, has not been cured or waived within fifteen (15) calendar days after
written notice to Seller and Parent specifying, in reasonable detail, such
claimed default, breach or inaccuracy and demanding its cure or satisfaction; or

          (d) Seller or Parent if there is a default or breach by Purchaser with
respect to the due and timely performance of any of its covenants or agreements
contained herein, or if its representations or warranties of Purchaser contained
in this Agreement shall have become inaccurate, in either case such that the
conditions set forth in Section 5.5 hereto would not be satisfied and such
breach or default or inaccuracy is not curable or, if curable, has not been
cured or waived within fifteen (15) calendar days after written notice to
Purchaser specifying, in reasonable detail, such claimed default, breach or
inaccuracy and demanding its cure or satisfaction.

          Section 9.2 Procedure and Effect of Termination. In the event of
termination and abandonment of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
pursuant to Section 9.1 hereto, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given
to the other parties to this Agreement and this Agreement shall terminate
(subject to the provisions of this Section 9.2) and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall be abandoned, without further action by any
of the parties hereto. If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein:

          (a) Upon the written request therefor, each party will (i) redeliver
or (ii) destroy with certification thereto in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the other party, all documents, work papers and other materials
of any other party relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
whether obtained before or after the execution hereof, to the party furnishing
the same; and


                                       37

<PAGE>

          (b) Subject to Article X hereto, in the event of the termination and
abandonment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 hereto, this Agreement
shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability on the
part of any party hereto or its Affiliates, directors, officers or stockholders,
other than the provisions of Sections 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.7 and 11.12 hereto.
Nothing contained in this Section 9.2 shall relieve any party from liability for
any breach of this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE X

                           SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

          Section 10.1 Survival of Indemnification Rights. Subject to the
limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and
warranties of Seller and Parent contained in this Agreement and the Collateral
Agreements shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect for a
period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, at which time they shall
expire and be of no further force or effect, and shall be thereafter forever
barred; provided that, if a claims notice has been provided by such date, they
shall remain in full force and effect until final resolution thereof; provided,
further, that (i) the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.21
(Certain Healthcare Legal Matters) and Section 6.27 (Taxes) shall survive and
remain in full force and effect until sixty (60) calendar days after the
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including any extension
thereof) and (ii) any representation or warranty that is fraudulently given
shall remain in full force and effect indefinitely. The representations and
warranties of Purchaser contained in Article VII hereto shall survive and remain
in full force and effect for two (2) years following the Closing Date. The
covenants and agreements of Seller, Parent and Purchaser contained in this
Agreement shall survive and remain in full force and effect for the applicable
period specified therein, or if no such period is specified, indefinitely. The
provisions of this Article X shall survive for so long as any other Section of
this Agreement shall survive. None of the Closing, Purchaser's waiver of any
condition to the Closing or Purchaser's knowledge of any breach prior to the
Closing, shall constitute a waiver of any of the rights Purchaser may have
hereunder.

          Section 10.2 Indemnification Obligations of Seller and Parent. Subject
to the limitations set forth herein, Seller and Parent shall jointly and
severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and any subsidiary,
associate, Affiliate, director, officer, stockholder or agent of Purchaser, and
their respective representatives, successors and permitted assigns (all of the
foregoing are collectively referred to as the "Purchaser Indemnified Parties")
from and against and pay on behalf of or reimburse such party in respect of, as
and when incurred, all out-of-pocket losses, liabilities, demands, claims,
actions or causes of action, costs, damages, judgments, debts, settlements,
assessments, deficiencies, Taxes, penalties, fines or expenses, whether or not
arising out of any claims by or on behalf of a third party, including, without
limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and all
reasonable amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the
foregoing (collectively, "Losses") which any such party may suffer, sustain or
become subject to, as a result of, in connection with, or


                                       38

<PAGE>

relating to or by virtue of:

          (a) any inaccuracy in, or breach of, any representation or warranty
made by Seller or Parent under this Agreement or any Collateral Agreement;

          (b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the
part of Seller or Parent under this Agreement or any other Collateral Agreement;

          (c) the ownership or operation of the Transferred Assets or the
conduct or operation of the Business or the activities of Seller or Parent in
connection with the Transferred Assets or the Business on or prior to the
Closing Date;

          (d) any applicable Bulk Sales Laws as a result of the actions
contemplated by Section 8.11 hereto;

          (e) any fees, expenses or other payments incurred or owed by Seller or
Parent to any agent, broker, investment banker or other firm or Person retained
or employed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
or

          (f) the Retained Liabilities;

provided that none of Seller or Parent will have any liability (for
indemnification or otherwise) with respect to the matters described in Section
10.2(a) or (b) hereto (A) until the aggregate of all Losses with respect to such
matters exceeds $100,000, and then only to the extent the aggregate amount of
such Losses exceeds $100,000, and (B) in excess of $725,000.

          Section 10.3 Indemnification Obligations of Purchaser. Purchaser shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent and Seller and any subsidiary,
associate, Affiliate, director, officer, stockholder or agent of Parent or
Seller, and their respective representatives, successors and permitted assigns
(all of the foregoing are collectively referred to as the "Seller Indemnified
Parties") from and against and pay on behalf of or reimburse such party in
respect of, as and when incurred, all Losses which any such party may suffer,
sustain or become subject to, as a result of, in connection with, or relating to
or by virtue of:

          (a) any inaccuracy in, or breach of, any representation or warranty
made by Purchaser under this Agreement or any Collateral Agreement;

          (b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the
part of Purchaser under this Agreement or any other Collateral Agreement;

          (c) any fees, expenses or other payments incurred or owed by Purchaser
to any agent, broker, investment banker or other firm or Person retained or
employed by Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement;


                                       39

<PAGE>

          (d) the ownership or operation of the Transferred Assets or the
conduct or operation of the Business or the activities of Purchaser or any of
its Affiliates and assigns in connection with the Transferred Assets or the
Business after the Closing Date; or

          (e) the Assumed Liabilities.

          Section 10.4 Indemnification Procedure.

          (a) If any Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party
(each, an "Indemnified Party") intends to seek indemnification pursuant to this
Article X, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify Seller and Parent, or
Purchaser, as the case may be (the "Indemnifying Parties") in writing of such
claim. The Indemnified Party will provide the Indemnifying Parties with prompt
notice of any third-party claim in respect of which indemnification is sought.
The failure to provide either such notice will not affect any rights hereunder
except to the extent the Indemnifying Parties are materially prejudiced thereby.

          (b) If such claim involves a claim by a third party against the
Indemnified Parties, the Indemnifying Parties may, within thirty (30) calendar
days after receipt of such notice and upon notice to the Indemnified Parties,
assume, through counsel of their own choosing and at their own expense, the
settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Parties shall reasonably
cooperate with them in connection therewith; provided that the Indemnified
Parties may participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by
it; provided, further, that if the Indemnified Parties reasonably determine that
representation by the Indemnifying Parties' counsel of the Indemnifying Parties
and the Indemnified Parties may present such counsel with a conflict of
interests, then the Indemnifying Parties shall be responsible for the reasonable
fees and expenses of the Indemnified Parties' counsel. Notwithstanding anything
in this Section 10.4 to the contrary, no Indemnifying Party may, without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Parties, settle or compromise any
action or consent to the entry of any judgment, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. So long as the Indemnifying Parties are
contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Parties shall not pay
or settle any such claim without the Indemnifying Parties' consent, such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnifying Parties are not
contesting such claim in good faith, then the Indemnified Parties may conduct
and control, through counsel of their own choosing and at the expense of the
Indemnifying Parties, the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnifying
Parties shall cooperate with it in connection therewith. The failure of the
Purchaser Indemnified Parties to participate in, conduct or control such defense
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Parties of any obligation it may have
hereunder.

          Section 10.5 Calculation of Indemnity Payments. The amount of any Loss
for which indemnification is provided under this Article X shall be (a)
increased to take account of any net Tax cost actually incurred by the Purchaser
Indemnified Party arising from the receipt or accrual of indemnity payments
hereunder (grossed up for such increase) and (b) reduced to take account of any
net Tax benefit actually realized by the


                                       40

<PAGE>

Purchaser Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence of payment or accrual of
any such indemnified amount. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is
provided under this Article X shall further adjusted so as to be net of all
insurance proceeds actually received by an Indemnified Party from a third party
relating to the matter for which indemnification was claimed. Any liability for
indemnification under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of
recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability
constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement.

          Section 10.6 Tax Treatment of Indemnification. For all Tax purposes,
unless otherwise required by law, the parties hereto agree to treat (and shall
cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat) any indemnity payment under
this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

          Section 10.7 Relation of Indemnity to Holdback Payment. The amount of
the Holdback Payment shall be reduced by any amount that is owed hereunder by
Parent or Seller to any Purchaser Indemnified Party at or prior to the time of
payment thereof. The rights of any Purchaser Indemnified Party under the
preceding sentence are in addition to any other rights and remedies that such
Purchaser Indemnified Party may have under this Agreement. For purposes of
clarity, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall reduce the Holdback Payment
before pursuing Parent or Seller for collection of amounts determined to be
subject to indemnification by Parent or Seller hereunder.

          Section 10.8 Exclusive Remedy. The parties acknowledge that their sole
and exclusive remedy after the Closing for any breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement shall be the indemnification
provisions set forth in this Article X. In addition, each party acknowledges
that all of its obligations in this Agreement to indemnify any other party are
subject to and shall be in accordance with this Article X. Remedies in
connection with Losses arising from a representation or warranty that is
fraudulently given shall not be limited by this Section 10.8.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

          Section 11.1 Notices. All notices and other communications required or

          Section 11.3 Successors and Assigns. No party to this Agreement may
assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent
of the other parties hereto. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement
will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the
successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 11.3, upon written notice to Seller and Parent,
Purchaser shall be permitted to assign this Agreement and the rights and
obligations under it to a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of
Purchaser; provided that, in the event of any such assignment, Purchaser shall
remain liable in full for the performance of its obligations hereunder. Nothing
expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person
other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this
Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the
sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their successors
and assigns.

provided that no such party hereto may, without the prior written consent of the
other parties hereto, make or grant such extension of time, waiver of
inaccuracies or compliance or waiver or modification of performance with respect
to its representations, warranties, conditions or covenants hereunder. Except as
provided in the immediately preceding sentence, no action taken pursuant to this
Agreement will be deemed to constitute a waiver of compliance with any
representations, warranties, conditions or covenants contained in this Agreement
and will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach,
whether of a similar or dissimilar nature.

          Section 11.5 Entire Agreement; Disclosure Schedules. This Agreement,
which includes the schedules and exhibits hereto, supersedes any other
agreement, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by
any party relating to the matters contemplated by this Agreement (including,
without limitation, the Confidentiality Agreement) and constitutes the entire
agreement by and among the parties hereto.

          Section 11.6 Amendments, Supplements, Etc. This Agreement may be
amended or supplemented at any time by additional written agreements as may
mutually be determined by Purchaser, Parent and Seller to be necessary,
desirable or expedient to further the purposes of this Agreement or to clarify
the intention of the parties hereto.

          Section 11.7 Applicable Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement
shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York
(without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof). Each of the parties
hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to
this Agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect
hereof shall be brought and determined in any federal or state court located
within New York County, New York. Each of the parties hereto hereby (a)
irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding to the
exclusive personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts in the event any dispute
arises out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby and waives
the defense of sovereign immunity, (b) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny
or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from
any such court or that such action is brought in an inconvenient forum and (c)
agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any
transaction contemplated hereby in any court other than any New York state or
federal court sitting in New York County, New York. Each of the parties hereby
waives trial by jury in any action to which they are parties involving, directly
or indirectly, any matter in any way arising out of, related to or connected
with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

          Section 11.8 Actions by Seller or Parent. Where any provision of this
Agreement indicates that Seller or Parent will take any specified action (or
refrain from


                                       43

<PAGE>

taking any specified action) or requires Seller or Parent to take any specified
action (or to refrain from taking any specified action), then, regardless of
whether this Agreement specifically provides that Parent will do so, Parent
shall cause Seller to take such action (or to refrain from taking such action,
as applicable). Parent will be responsible for the failure of Seller to take any
such action (or to refrain from taking any such action, as applicable).

          Section 11.9 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but

herein are inserted for convenience of reference only, and are not intended to
be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

          Section 11.11 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement
is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law,
and if the rights or obligations under this Agreement of Seller on the one hand
and Purchaser on the other hand will not be materially and adversely affected
thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be
construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision
had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this
Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this
Agreement and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision,
there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and
enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision as may be possible.

          Section 11.12 Publicity. Except as otherwise required by applicable
Law or the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange, no party
hereto shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement with

Agreements without prior consultation with and consent of the other parties
hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed.

          Section 11.13 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that if
any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with
their specific terms or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur,
no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to
determine, and that the parties hereto shall be entitled to specific performance
of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

          Section 11.14 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement
shall confer any rights upon any person or entity other than the parties hereto
and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns.
