breach of, will conflict with, will constitute a default under or will permit
any party to terminate, modify, accelerate the performance of or cancel the

<PAGE>

by Seller shall not relieve Seller of any liability to which Seller might be
subject for failure to disclose any information that should have been disclosed
prior to the execution of this Agreement.

     5.7 Accounts Receivable.
         -------------------

          (a) On the Closing Date, Seller shall furnish Buyer with a list
(certified a duly authorized financial officer of Seller to be a true and
complete list) of Seller's Accounts Receivable. The Accounts Receivable shall
remain the property of Seller. Buyer shall collect the Accounts Receivable on
behalf of Seller for a period of ninety (90) days (the "Collection Period") and,
                                                        -----------------
upon the termination of the Collection Period, Buyer shall have no further
obligation to collect Seller's Accounts Receivable. Buyer agrees that if, during
any calendar month within the Collection Period, it shall receive payment in
respect of any Accounts Receivable, Buyer shall, within five (5) business days
after the end of such calendar month, remit to Seller any such amounts received
by Buyer during the calendar month.

          (b) During the Collection Period, Buyer shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts, consistent with its billing and collection practices and in
the ordinary course of business, to collect any outstanding Accounts Receivable;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be under no
--------  -------
obligation to commence litigation, employ counsel or engage the services of a
collection agency to effect such collection. Except to the extent that any
receivable amount is deemed to be the property of Buyer in accordance with this
Section 5.7, Buyer shall not make any compromise, adjustment, concession or
-----------
settlement of any Accounts Receivable without Seller's express written consent.
Furthermore, Buyer shall be under no obligation to compromise, adjust, concede
or settle any accounts receivable generated after the Closing Date, or otherwise
grant any credit or allowance, to effect collection of an Account Receivable.
Absent written evidence that an account debtor owing an Account Receivable is
disputing in good faith any portion of such Account Receivable or that any
payment received from such account debtor corresponds to a particular account
receivable, any payments received by Buyer during the Collection Period from
such account debtor shall be presumed to represent payment on the most-aged
account receivable then owing from such account debtor, whether the account
receivable is for the account of Seller or Buyer.

     5.8 Taxes, Fees and Expenses. All sales, use, transfer, and purchase Taxes
         ------------------------
and fees, if any, arising out of the transfer of the Assets pursuant to this
Agreement shall be paid by Seller. Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate with each
other and to file all necessary documentation (including but not limited to, all
Tax Returns) with respect to all such amounts in a timely manner. Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party shall pay its own costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the authorization, preparation, execution,
and performance of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all fees and
expenses of counsel, accountants, agents and other representatives.

     5.9 Bulk Sales Law. Buyer hereby waives compliance by Seller with the
         --------------
provisions of Article 6 of the Uniform Commercial Code - Bulk Transfers and the
Bulk Sales Act and any other applicable United States, state or provincial bulk
sales act or statute, if applicable ("Bulk

---------
claims of creditors which could be asserted against Buyer by reason of such
noncompliance to the extent that such liabilities arise before the Closing, and
agrees to protect, defend, hold harmless and indemnify Buyer from and against
any and all such claims and demands pursuant to the procedures set forth in
Article X hereof which shall apply thereto in all respects in the event
---------
liability for noncompliance with the Bulk Sales Law arises at any time following
the Closing.

     5.10 Confidentiality. Except as necessary for the consummation of the
          ---------------
transactions contemplated hereby, each party hereto shall keep confidential the
economic terms of this Agreement and any information which is obtained from the
other party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except to
the extent that such materials or information are or become readily available to
the public, have been obtained from independent sources, were known by either
party on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure to such party or are
required to be disclosed in public filings or otherwise by applicable law.

     5.11 Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation.
          ----------------------------------

          (a) As additional consideration for Buyer's agreement to purchase the
Assets and to pay the Purchase Price to Seller, each of Seller, Anthony Gaess,
Jeffrey Gaess and Robert Lambert (collectively, the "Restricted Parties") has
                                                     ------------------
agreed to the noncompetition provision set forth in subparagraphs (b) and (c)
below (the "Restrictive Covenant"). Each of the Restricted Parties hereby
            --------------------
represents and acknowledges that: (i) the Restrictive Covenant is being entered
into in connection with Seller's sale of the Assets to Buyer and (ii) in the
absence of the Restricted Parties agreeing to be bound by the terms and
conditions of the Restrictive Covenant, the sale would not be consummated by
Buyer.

          (b) For a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date
(the "Noncompete Period"), each of the Restricted Parties agrees that such party
      -----------------
will not, within any of the Markets, directly or indirectly, carry on, engage
in, assist in or have any financial interest in, or otherwise participate or be
involved in any way in, as an owner, partner, member, employee, agent, officer,
board member, consultant, independent contractor or shareholder, any outdoor
advertising business that is competitive with the Buyer's use and operation of
the Assets. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit any of the Restricted
Parties from being a passive owner of not more than five percent (5%) of the
outstanding stock of any class of securities of a corporation or other entity
which is publicly traded and in which such Restricted Party has no active
participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall
prohibit any of the Restricted Parties from engaging in exclusive development
activities in the Markets on behalf of Buyer. In the event that a Restricted
Party identifies a development opportunity in any of the Markets, and pursuing
such development opportunity would otherwise violate the terms and conditions of
this Section 5.11, the Restricted Party may nonetheless engage in such
     ------------
development opportunity on behalf of Buyer following presentment of the
development opportunity to Buyer, acceptance of the development opportunity by
Buyer and the negotiation of the terms of development which are mutually
satisfactory to each of Buyer and the Restricted Party who is presenting such
development opportunity.

                                     Page 20
<PAGE>

          (c) Each of the Restricted Parties further acknowledges and agrees
that for a period of five (5) years from and after the Closing Date that such
party shall not knowingly take any action, or cause any other person to take any
action, which would impede, prohibit, restrict or interfere in any way with the
Buyer's ability to own or operate the Assets, or any other assets relating to
the operation of the Business acquired by Buyer after the Closing Date.

          (d) If, at the time of enforcement of the Restrictive Covenant, a
court shall hold that the duration, scope, area or other restrictions stated
herein are unreasonable, each of the Restricted Parties agrees that reasonable
maximum duration, scope, area or other restrictions may be substituted by such
court for the stated duration, scope, area or other restrictions and upon
substitution by such court, this Agreement shall be automatically modified
without further action by the parties hereto.

          (e) Each of the Restricted Parties hereby agrees that damages at law,
including, but not limited to, monetary damages, would be an insufficient remedy
to Buyer in the event that the Restrictive Covenant is violated and that, in
addition to any remedies or rights that may be available to Buyer, all of which
other remedies or rights shall be deemed to be cumulative, retained by Buyer and
not waived by the enforcement of any remedy available hereunder, including, but
not limited to, the right to sue for monetary damages, Buyer shall also be
entitled, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, to obtain
injunctive relief, including, but not limited to, a temporary restraining order
or temporary, preliminary or permanent injunction, to enforce the Restrictive
Covenant, all of which shall constitute rights and remedies to which Buyer may
be entitled.

          (f) During the Noncompete Period, each of the Restricted Parties will
not solicit for employment any employee of Buyer if such Person is then, or was
at any time within the preceding twenty-four (24) months, an employee of Buyer,
its subsidiaries or its Affiliates.

     5.12 Financial Information. Seller hereby covenants and agrees that, unless
          ---------------------
otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, any financial information
required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement and any calculations
required to be made pursuant to this Agreement have been or shall be prepared or
calculated in accordance with Seller's past practice, consistently followed. At
all times after the date hereof, Seller shall, and shall cause all of Seller's
representatives (including their independent public accountants) to, cooperate
in all reasonable respects with the efforts of Buyer and Buyer's independent
auditors to prepare such audited and interim unaudited financial statements of
the Business as Buyer may reasonably determine are necessary in connection with
any filing required to be made by it or any of its Affiliates under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or the
                                                  ------------
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Seller shall execute
                                         --------------
and deliver to Buyer's independent accountants such customary management
representation letters as they may require as a condition to their ability to
sign an unqualified report upon the audited financial statements of the Business
for the periods for which such financial statements are required under the
Exchange Act or the Securities Act. Seller shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause its independent public accountants to make available to Buyer
and its representatives all of their work papers related to the financial
statements or tax returns of Seller (to the extent they relate to

                                     Page 21
<PAGE>

the Business) and to provide Buyer's independent public accountants with full
access to those personnel who previously have been involved in the audit or
review of Seller's financial statements or tax returns, subject to any
limitations imposed by Seller's independent accountants. Any reasonable
out-of-pocket costs incurred by Seller in connection with Seller's obligations
under this Section 5.12 shall be reimbursed by Buyer within a reasonable time
           ------------
after Buyer's receipt of reasonably detailed information regarding such costs.

     5.13 Further Assurances. From and after the Closing, Seller shall from time
          ------------------
to time, at the request of, and without further cost and expense to Buyer, take
such actions, and shall execute and deliver to Buyer such further deeds, bills
of sale or other transfer documents as may be reasonably requested by Buyer in
order to more effectively consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

     5.14 Employee Matters. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Buyer
          ----------------
does not intend to employ any of Seller's employees upon the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby. All of such employees shall remain employed by
Seller and Seller shall be solely responsible for any and all obligations to
such persons.

     5.15 Additional Sites. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall
          ----------------
use its best efforts to develop and to cause to be delivered to Buyer each of
the Additional Sites. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in the event
that Seller is able to deliver the Additional Sites to Buyer on or before six
months from the date of Closing, that Buyer shall be obligated to pay Seller as
follows: In the event Seller is delivering the site located at 625 Glenwood
Avenue (I-78), Hillside, New Jersey, and the assets required for the operation
thereof, Buyer shall pay Seller cash in the amount of Three Hundred Thirteen
Thousand Two Hundred Ninety Four Dollars ($313,294) and in the event that Seller
is delivering the site located at 850-854 Route 21 (McCarter Highway), N/O
Cherry Street, Newark, New Jersey, and the assets required for the operation
thereof, Buyer shall pay Seller in cash in the amount of Three Hundred Fifty
Five Thousand Four Hundred Forty Nine Dollars ($355,449). Payment shall be made
by Buyer to Seller or its designee for each Additional Site, respectively, at
Closing, if delivered at or prior to Closing, or if after Closing, at the time
of its delivery or reasonably thereafter, but in no case more than ten (10)
Business Days after delivery. Failure by Seller to deliver one or both of the
Additional Sites will not in and of itself cause a breach of this Agreement, but
Seller will forfeit its right to receive the additional compensation for the
delivery of either one or both of the Additional Sites as provided in this
Section 5.15.

-----------
acceptable to each of Buyer and Seller, whose decision shall be final, binding
upon and nonappealable by the parties, and whose fees and expenses shall be paid

<PAGE>

          (f) Any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands,
assessments, judgments, costs or expenses, including reasonable legal fees and
expenses, incident to any of the foregoing or in enforcing this indemnity.

     10.3 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
          ------------------------
harmless Seller and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers,
partners, employees, agents and representatives from and against:

          (a) Any and all losses, liabilities or damages resulting from any
untrue representation or breach of warranty by Buyer contained herein or in any

          (d) Any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands,

     10.4 Procedure for Indemnification. The procedure for indemnification shall
          -----------------------------
be as follows:

          (a) The party claiming indemnification (the "Claimant") shall give
                                                       --------
reasonably prompt notice to the party from whom indemnification is claimed (the
"Indemnifying Party") of any claim, whether between the parties or brought by a
 ------------------
third party, specifying: (i) the factual basis for such claim and (ii) the
amount of the claim. If the claim relates to an action, suit or proceeding filed
by a third party against Claimant, such notice shall be given by Claimant within
ten (10) Business Days after written notice of such action, suit or proceeding
is received by Claimant.

          (b) Following receipt of notice from the Claimant of a claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall have twenty (20) Business Days (or such shorter period
of time as may be required to respond to the subject litigation or proceeding)
to make such investigation of the claim as the Indemnifying Party deems
necessary or desirable. For the purposes of such investigation, the Claimant
agrees to make available to the Indemnifying Party or its authorized
representative(s) the information relied upon by the Claimant to substantiate
the claim. If the Claimant and the Indemnifying Party agree at or prior to the
expiration of said 20-day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof)
to the validity and amount of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall
immediately pay to the Claimant the full amount of the claim. If the Claimant
and the

                                     Page 29
<PAGE>

Indemnifying Party do not agree within said period (or any mutually agreed upon
extension thereof), the Claimant may seek appropriate legal remedy.

          (c) With respect to any claim by a third party as to which the
Claimant is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall
have the right at its own expense, to participate in or assume control of the
defense of such claim, and the Claimant shall cooperate fully with the
Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the
defense of any third-party claim, the Claimant shall have the right to
participate in the defense of such claim and retain separate co-counsel at the
Indemnifying Party's expense; provided if requested to participate at
Indemnifying Party's request or if the Claimant reasonably believes (based upon
an opinion of counsel) that a conflict of interest exists between Claimant and
the Indemnifying Party, then the Claimant will be reimbursed for reasonable
expenses of counsel. The Indemnifying Party will select counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Claimant. The Indemnifying Party will not consent to an
entry of judgment or settlement without release of liability and, with respect
to nonmonetary terms, the Claimant's consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed).

          (d) If a claim, whether between the parties or by a third party,
requires immediate action, the parties will make every effort to reach a
decision with respect thereto as expeditiously as possible.

          (e) If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume control or
otherwise participate in the defense of any third party claim, it shall be bound
by the results obtained by the Claimant with respect to such claim.

11.1.
----

     11.2 Specific Performance. In addition to any other remedies which Buyer
          --------------------
may have at law or in equity, Seller hereby acknowledges that the Assets are
unique, and that the harm to Buyer resulting from a breach by Seller of its
obligations to sell the Assets to Buyer cannot be adequately compensated by
damages. Accordingly, Seller agrees that, from the date hereof through the
Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to have this Agreement specifically
performed by Seller and hereby agrees not to assert any objections to the
imposition of the equitable remedy of specific performance by any court of
competent jurisdiction.

     11.3 Benefit and Binding Effect. Neither party may assign this Agreement
          --------------------------
without the prior written consent of the other party hereto; provided, however,
                                                             --------  -------
that Buyer may assign this Agreement: (i) to any of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries or Affiliates or (ii) upon five days prior written notice to
Seller, to any Person in connection with (x) the sale of all or substantially
all of Buyer's assets, (y) any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other
reorganization of Buyer or (z) the sale or transfer of at least fifty percent
(50%) of the capital stock of the Buyer; provided that any proposed assignee
                                         --------
provides to Seller a written assumption of all of the obligations of Buyer to be
performed under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns.

     11.4 Headings. The headings herein are included for ease of reference only
          --------

          -----------------
number specifically used, shall be deemed and construed to include any other
gender, masculine, feminine or neuter, and any other number, singular or plural,
as the context requires.

     11.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of
          ------------
counterparts with the same effect as if the signature on each such counterpart
were upon the same instrument.

     11.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, all schedules and exhibits hereto
          ----------------
and all documents, writings, instruments and certificates delivered or to be
delivered by the parties pursuant hereto collectively represent the sole and
entire understanding and agreement between Buyer and Seller with respect to the
subject matter hereof. All schedules, and exhibits attached to this Agreement
shall be deemed part of this Agreement and incorporated herein, as if fully set
forth herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior negotiations and
understandings between Buyer and Seller whatsoever, and all letters of intent
and other writings relating to such negotiations and understandings.

     11.8 Amendment. This Agreement cannot be amended, supplemented or modified
          ---------
except by an agreement in writing which makes specific reference to this
Agreement or an agreement delivered pursuant hereto, as the case may be, and
which is signed by the party against which enforcement of any such amendment,
supplement or modification is sought.

     11.9 Severability. If in any jurisdiction any provision of this Agreement
          ------------
or its application to any party or circumstance is restricted, prohibited or
unenforceable, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
only to the extent of the restriction, prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof and without affecting the validity
or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or its application
to other parties or circumstances. In addition, if any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason in any jurisdiction
be held excessively broad as to time, duration, geographical scope, activity or
subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be
enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law of such
jurisdiction as it shall then appear.

     11.10 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed and
           -------------
enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard
to conflicts of law principles thereof.
