released from its obligations under the assigned agreements.

this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement
to assign any agreement, in whole or in part, or any rights thereunder if the
agreement to assign or attempt to assign, without the consent of a third party,

         (b) RESIGNATIONS BY DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES OF THE SPIN COMPANY GROUP.

TRANSFERS DEEMED EFFECTIVE AS OF THE DISTRIBUTION DATE. To the extent that any
transfers contemplated by this ARTICLE II shall not have been consummated on or
prior to the Distribution Date, the Parties hereto shall cooperate (and shall
cause each of their respective Affiliates and each member of their respective
Groups over which they have legal or effective direct or indirect control to
cooperate) to effect such transfers as promptly following the Distribution Date

asset in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the
expense of the Party entitled thereto) or retain such Liability for the account
of the Party by whom such Liability is to be assumed pursuant hereto, as the
case may be, and take such other action as may be reasonably requested by the
Party to whom such asset is to be transferred, or by whom such Liability is to
be assumed, as the case may be, in order to place such Party, insofar as is
reasonably possible, in the same position as would have existed had such asset
or Liability been transferred or assumed as contemplated hereby. As and when any
such asset or Liability becomes transferable or assumable, such transfer shall
be effected forthwith. As of the Distribution Date, each Party hereto (or, if
applicable, such other members of such Party's Group) shall be deemed to have
acquired (or, as applicable, retained) complete and sole beneficial ownership
over all of the assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident

this Agreement all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and
responsibilities incident thereto, which such Party (or any other member of such
Party's Group) is entitled to acquire or required to assume pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.

The Board of Directors of Parent shall, in conjunction with Spin Company's
written approval and subject to and in accordance with the applicable rules of
the NASDAQ OTCBB and provisions of the NYCL, declare the Distribution and
establish the Distribution Record Date, the Distribution Date, the date on which
Spin Company Common Shares shall be mailed to the Parent Holders and all
appropriate procedures in connection with the Distribution to the extent not
provided for herein; provided, however, that no such action shall create any
obligation on the part of Parent to effect the Distribution or in any way limit
Parent's power of termination as set forth in SECTION 8.11 hereof or alter the
consequences of any such termination from those specified in such Section.

         (b) NOTICE TO NASDAQ OTCBB. Parent shall, to the extent possible, give
the NASDAQ OTCBB not less than ten days advance notice of the Distribution
Record Date in compliance with Rule 10b-17 under the Exchange Act.

         (a) DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF PARENT. Subject to the conditions
contained herein, on the Distribution Date, but effective immediately following

Holders; and

                  (ii) instruct the Agent to distribute, as soon as practicable

         (b) DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF SPIN COMPANY. Spin Company shall
provide, or cause to be provided, to the Agent sufficient certificates
representing Spin Company Common Stock in such denominations as the Agent may

Stock issued pursuant to the Distribution will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free of any preemptive (or similar) rights.

         SECTION 3.03.  FRACTIONAL SHARES.

         (a) NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, no certificate or scrip evidencing a fractional share of Spin Company
Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Distribution, and any such
fractional share interests to which a Parent Holder would otherwise be entitled
will not entitle such Parent Holder to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of
Spin Company. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each Parent Holder who, but
for the provisions of this SECTION 3.03, would be entitled to receive a
fractional share interest of Spin Company Common Stock pursuant to the
Distribution shall be entitled to receive one whole share.

         (b) UNCLAIMED STOCK. Any Spin Company Common Stock and dividends or
distributions with respect to Spin Company Common Stock that remain unclaimed by
any Parent Holder 180 days after the Distribution Date shall be returned to
Parent and any such Parent Holders shall look only to Parent for the Spin
Company Common Stock and any such dividends or distributions to which they are
entitled, subject in each case to applicable escheat or other abandoned property
laws.

<PAGE>

         (c) BENEFICIAL OWNERS. Solely for purposes of computing fractional
share interests pursuant to SECTION 3.03(A), the beneficial owner of shares of
Parent Common Stock held of record in the name of a nominee will be treated as
the holder of record of such shares.

otherwise, making any representation or warranty whatsoever, including without

and shall take all such further reasonable actions as shall be reasonably
necessary to preserve for each of the Parent Group and the Spin Company Group,

any time after the Distribution Date any further action is necessary or
desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and
directors of each party to this Agreement shall take all such necessary or
desirable action.

Parent Liability.

         SECTION 5.07. PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS. Each Party hereto shall consult
with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise issuing any other
similar written public statement with respect to this Agreement or the
Distribution and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public

unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that a Party may, without the prior
consent of any other Party, issue such press release or other similar written
public statement as may be required by Law or any listing agreement with a

other Party and to obtain such Party's consent but has been unable to do so in a
timely manner.

         SECTION 5.08. INTERCOMPANY AGREEMENTS. Effective as of the consummation
of the Distribution, Spin Company and Parent shall (and shall cause each other
member of its respective Group over which it has legal or effective direct or

member of the other Group other than this Agreement, any of the Ancillary
Agreements and any of the license agreements referred to in SECTION 2.06(E)
above; provided, however, that such termination shall not have any effect

         SECTION 5.09. TAX MATTERS. Parent and the Spin Company intend the

Code Section 355;

         (b) any other transfer described in the Corporate Restructuring
Transaction that is intended to qualify as tax- free transfer under Code Section

         SECTION 6.03. REIMBURSEMENT; OTHER MATTERS. Except to the extent

         (b) COMPELLED DISCLOSURE. To the extent that a Party hereto is
compelled by judicial or administrative process to disclose such information

Party agrees to assert such privilege in good faith prior to making such

with any such judicial or administrative process, including without limitation,
in determining whether any privilege is available, and shall not object to each
such relevant Party and its counsel participating in any hearing or other
proceeding (including, without limitation, any appeal of an initial order to
disclose) in respect of such disclosure and assertion or privilege.

         (c) EXCEPTIONS TO CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, no Party hereto shall be prohibited from using or
permitting the use of, or required to hold in confidence, any information to the
extent that (i) such information has been or is in the public domain through no
fault of such Party, (ii) such information is, after the Distribution Date,
lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party, or (iii) this Agreement, any
Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement entered into pursuant hereto permits
the use or disclosure of such information by such Party.

relating to the attorney-client relationship (including without limitation the
attorney-client and attorney work product privileges) that relate directly or

Distribution Date ("PRIVILEGE" or "PRIVILEGES"). The Parties hereto shall use
reasonable efforts not to waive, or permit any member of its Group over which it
has legal or effect direct or indirect control to waive, any such Privilege that
could be asserted unapplicable Law without the prior written consent of the
other Parties. With respect to each Party, the rights and obligations created by
this SECTION 6.07 shall apply to all information as to which a member of any
Group did assert or, but for the Distribution, would have been entitled to
assert the protection of a Privilege ("PRIVILEGED INFORMATION") including, but
not limited to, any and all information that either:

                  (i) was generated or received prior to the Distribution Date
but which, after the Distribution, is in the possession of a member of another

                  (ii) is generated or received after the Distribution Date but

a Party or any member of its Group obtains knowledge that any current or former
employee of such Party or any member of its Group has received any subpoena,
discovery or other request that arguably calls for the production or disclosure
of Privileged Information, such party shall promptly notify the other party of
the existence of the request and shall provide the other Party a reasonable
opportunity to review the information and to assert any rights it may have under
this SECTION 6.07 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of
Privileged Information. No Party will, or will permit any member of its Group
over which it has direct or indirect legal or effective control to, produce or
disclose any information arguably covered by a Privilege under this SECTION 6.07
unless:

                  (i) the party has provided its express written consent to such
production or disclosure; or

                  (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction has entered an order
which is not then appealable or a final, nonappealable order finding that the
information is not entitled to protection under any applicable privilege.

         (c) NO WAIVER. The Parties hereto understand and agree that the
transfer of any Books and Records or other information between any members of
the Parent Group or the Spin Company Group shall be made in reliance on the
agreements of Parent and Spin Company, as set forth in SECTION 6.04 and SECTION

assert and maintain all applicable Privileges. The Books and Records being
transferred pursuant to SECTION 6.01 hereof, the access to information being
granted pursuant to SECTION 6.02 hereof, the agreement to provide witnesses and
individuals pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any
Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Section or otherwise.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         SECTION 7.01. INDEMNIFICATION BY PARENT. Except as otherwise
specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or of any Ancillary
Agreement, Parent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the Spin Company Indemnified Parties from and against
any and all Indemnifiable Losses of the Spin Company Indemnified Parties arising
out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with either (i) the Parent
Liabilities, or (ii) the breach by Parent of any provision of this Agreement or
any Ancillary Agreement.

         SECTION 7.02. INDEMNIFICATION BY SPIN COMPANY. Except as otherwise
specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or of any Ancillary
Agreement, Spin Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law,
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Parent Indemnified Parties from and
against any and all Indemnifiable Losses of the Parent Indemnified Parties
arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with either (i) the Spin
Company Liabilities, or (ii) the breach by Spin Company of any provision of this
Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

         SECTION 7.03.  LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS.

         (a) REDUCTIONS FOR INSURANCE PROCEEDS AND OTHER RECOVERIES. The amount
that any Party (an "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") is or may be required to pay any other
Person (an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") pursuant to SECTION 7.01 or SECTION 7.02, as
applicable, shall be reduced (retroactively or prospectively) by any Insurance
Proceeds or other amount actually recovered from third parties by or on behalf
of such Indemnified Party in respect of the related Indemnifiable Losses (except
that nothing herein shall be construed as requiring any Indemnified Party in
respect of any Spin Company Liability to file any claim for insurance). The
existence of a claim by an Indemnified Party for insurance or against a third
party in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss shall not, however, delay any payment
pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained herein and otherwise
determined to be due and owing by an Indemnifying Party. Rather the Indemnifying
Party shall make payment in full of such amount so determined to be due and
owing by it against an assignment by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying
Party of the entire claim of the Indemnified Party for such insurance or against
such third party. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is
the intention of the parties hereto that no insurer or any other third party
shall be (i) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the
absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions or (ii) relieved of the
responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated. If an Indemnified
Party shall have received the payment required by this Agreement from an
Indemnifying Party in respect of any Indemnifiable Losses and shall subsequently
actually receive Insurance Proceeds or other amounts in respect of such
Indemnifiable Losses, then such Indemnified Party shall hold such Insurance
Proceeds in trust for the benefit of such Indemnifying Party and shall pay to
such Indemnifying Party a sum equal to the amount of such Insurance Proceeds or
other amounts actually received, up to the aggregate amount of any payments
received from such Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement in respect of
such Indemnifiable Losses.

         SECTION 7.04. PROCEDURES FOR INDEMNIFICATION. Except as otherwise
specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement:

         (a) NOTICE OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. If a claim or demand is made against
an Indemnified Party by any Person who is not a member of the Parent Group or
Spin Company Group (a "THIRD PARTY CLAIM") as to which such Indemnified Party is
entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party
shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the
Third Party Claim promptly (and in any event within fifteen (15) business days)
after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party
Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not
affect the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification hereunder except to the
extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of
such failure (except that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnified Party failed to
give such notice). Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the
Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within fifteen (15) business
days) after the Indemnified Party's receipt thereof, copies of all notices and
documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to
the Third Party Claim.

<PAGE>

         (b) LEGAL DEFENSE OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. If a Third Party Claim is made
against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to
participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense
thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, which counsel shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Should the Indemnifying Party
so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party
shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense
thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ
counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the
Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall
control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be reliable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for
any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense
of the Third Party Claim (other than during the period prior to the time the
Indemnified Party shall have given notice of the Third Party Claim as provided
above). If the Indemnifying Party so elects to assume the defense of any Third
Party Claim, all of the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate with the
Indemnifying Party in the defense or prosecution thereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing:

                  (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the
defense of any Third Party Claim (and shall be liable to the Indemnified Party
for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnified
Party in defending such Third Party Claim) if the Third Party Claim seeks an
order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money
damages against the Indemnified Party which the Indemnified Party reasonably
determines, after conferring with its counsel, cannot be separated from any
related claim for money damages; provided, however, that if such equitable
relief or other relief portion of the Third Party Claim can be separated from
that for money damages, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the
defense of the portion relating to money damages;

                  (ii) an Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the
defense of any Third Party Claim (and shall be liable for the reasonable fees
and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending such
Third Party Claim) if, in the Indemnified Party's reasonable judgment, a
conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party
exists in respect of such Third Party Claim; and

                  (iii) if at any time after assuming the defense of a Third
Party Claim an Indemnifying Party shall fail to prosecute or withdraw from the
defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
resume the defense thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party in
such defense.

         (c) SETTLEMENT OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. Except as otherwise provided
below in SECTION 7.07(c), or as otherwise specifically provided in any Ancillary
Agreement, if the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of any Third Party
Claim, then

                  (i) in no event will the Indemnified Party admit any liability
with respect to, or settle compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim
without the Indemnifying Party's prior written consent; provided however, that
the Indemnified Party shall have the right to settle, compromise or discharge
such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party if the
Indemnifying Party releases the Indemnifying Party from its indemnification
obligation hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim and such settlement,
compromise or discharge would not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnifying
Party, and

                  (ii) the Indemnified Party will agree to any settlement,
compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may
recommend and that by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full
amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim and releases
the Indemnified Party completely in connection with such Third Party Claim and
that would not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnified Party

<PAGE>

provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may refuse to agree to any such
settlement, compromise or discharge if the Indemnified Party agrees that the
Indemnifying Party's indemnification obligation with respect to such Third Party
Claim shall not exceed the amount that would be required to be paid by or on
behalf of the Indemnifying Party in connection with such settlement, compromise
or discharge. If the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of a Third
Party Claim then in no event shall the Indemnified Party settle, compromise or
discharge such Third Party Claim without providing prior written notice to the
Indemnifying Party, which shall have the option within fifteen (15) business
days following receipt of such notice to:

                  (i) approve and agree to pay the settlement,

                  (ii) approve the amount of the settlement, reserving the right
to contest the Indemnified Party's right to indemnity pursuant to this
Agreement,

                  (iii) disapprove the settlement and assume in writing all past
and future responsibility for such Third Party Claim (including all of
Indemnified Party's prior expenditures in connection therewith), or

                  (iv) disapprove the settlement and continue to refrain from
participation in the defense of such Third Party Claim, in which event the
Indemnifying Party shall have no further right to contest the amount or
reasonableness of the settlement if the Indemnified Party elects to proceed
therewith.

In the event the Indemnifying Party does not respond to such written notice from
the Indemnified Party within such fifteen (15) business-day period, the
Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have elected option (i).

         (e) OTHER CLAIMS. Any claim on account of an Indemnifiable Loss that
does not result from a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice
given by the Indemnified Party to the applicable Indemnifying Party. Such
Indemnifying Party shall have a period of fifteen (15) business days after the
receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying
Party does not respond within such fifteen (15) business-day period, such
Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to
make payment. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such fifteen
(15) business-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such
Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to
such party under applicable Law or this Agreement.

         SECTION 7.05. INDEMNIFICATION PAYMENTS. Indemnification required by

required pursuant to SECTION 7.04 hereof, if the amount of any Indemnifiable
Losses shall, at any time subsequent to any indemnification payment made by the
Indemnifying Party pursuant to this ARTICLE VII, be reduced by recovery,
settlement or otherwise, the amount of such reduction, less any expenses
incurred in connection therewith, shall promptly be repaid by the Indemnified
Party to the Indemnifying Party, up to the aggregate amount of any payments
received from such Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement in respect of
such Indemnifiable Losses.

         SECTION 7.07. OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE. The foregoing contractual
obligations of indemnification set forth in this ARTICLE VII shall:

         (a) also apply to any and all Third Party Claims that allege that any
Indemnified Party is independently, directly, vicariously or jointly and
severally liable to such Third Party;

         (b) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, apply even if the
Indemnified Party is partially negligent or otherwise partially culpable or at
fault, whether or not such liability arises under any doctrine of strict
liability; and

         (c) be in addition to any liability or obligation that an Indemnifying
Party may have other than pursuant to this Agreement.

         SECTION 7.08. SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES. The obligations of Parent and

         SECTION 7.9 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The remedies provided in this ARTICLE
VII shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnified
Party of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against
any Indemnifying Party.

         SECTION 7.10. COOPERATION OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO ACTIONS AND
THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.

         (a) IDENTIFICATION OF PARTY IN INTEREST. Any party to this Agreement
that has responsibility for an Action of Third Party Claim shall identify itself
as the true party in interest with respect to such Action or Third Party Claim
and shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain the dismissal of any other party
to this Agreement from such Action or Third Party Claim.

         (b) DISPUTES REGARDING RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACTIONS AND THIRD PARTY
CLAIMS. If there is uncertainty or disagreement concerning which party to this
Agreement has responsibility for any Action of Third Party Claim, the following
procedure shall be followed in an effort to reach agreement concerning
responsibility for such Action or Third Party Claim:

                  (i) The parties in disagreement over the responsibility for an
Action or Third Party Claim shall exchange brief written statements setting
forth their position concerning which party has responsibility for the Action or
Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this ARTICLE VII. These
statements shall be exchanged within five (5) days of a party putting another
party on written notice that the other party is or may be responsible for the
Action or Third Party Claim.

                  (ii) If within five (5) days of the exchange of the written
statement of each party's position agreement is not reached on responsibility
for the Action or Third Party Claim, the General Counsel for each of the parties
in disagreement over responsibility for the Action or Third Party Claim shall
speak either by telephone or in person to attempt to reach agreement on
responsibility for the Action or Third Party Claim.

         (a) EFFECT OF FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURE. Failure to follow the
procedure set forth in clause (b) above shall not affect the rights and
responsibilities of the parties as established by other provisions of this
ARTICLE VII.

         (b) EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION. In connection with the handling of current
or future Actions or Third Party Claims, the parties may determine that it is in
their mutual interest to exchange privileged or confidential information. If so,
the Parties agree to discuss whether it is in their mutual interest to enter
into a joint defense agreement or information exchange agreement to maintain
confidentiality of their communications and to permit them to maintain the
confidentiality of proprietary information or information that is otherwise
confidential or subject to an applicable privilege, including but not limited to
the attorney-client, work product, executive, deliberative process, or
self-evaluation privileges.

         SECTION 7.11. CONTRIBUTION. To the extent that any indemnification
provided for under SECTION 7.01 OF SECTION 7.02 is unavailable to an Indemnified
Party, then the Indemnifying Party under such Section, in lieu if indemnifying
such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Indemnifiable Losses (i)
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received
by the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other
hand from the transaction or other matter that in the Indemnifiable Losses or
(ii) if the allocation provided by the clause (i) above is not permitted by
applicable Law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to on clause (i) above but also the relative fault of
the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other
hand in connection with the action, inaction, statements or omissions that
resulted in such Indemnifiable Losses as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations.
