      is
      part of the Purchased Assets is sold “As
      Is”,
      and where is, and without

      or

      and all such Purchased Contracts are valid and in effect.  No Seller has
      received notice of default under any Purchased Contracts, and knows of no event
      that has occurred or that is expected to occur which (after notice and lapse
      of
      time or both) would become a breach or default under any such Purchased
      Contract.

    In
      furtherance of the sale to Buyer of the Purchased Assets, Seller and David
      Murphy will enter into agreements (the "Non-Compete

        14

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    not:
      (a) compete, directly or indirectly, with the Business as conducted as of the
      Closing Date; (b) communicate with or contact any of the customers of Buyer
      for
      the purpose of soliciting such customers to purchase any goods, products or
      services of the type being manufactured, offered or sold by the Business as
      of
      the Closing Date; (c) use or disclose to others any trade secrets or other
      confidential information relating to the Purchased Assets or Business. The
      Non-Compete Agreements shall be in the forms attached hereto as Schedule
      19.
      

    

    20. Allocation.
      

    

     The
      Buyer and the Seller shall use reasonable commercial efforts to agree on a
      reasonable and fair allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets,
      which shall value Inventory, the Other Tangible Assets, the Assumed Capital
      Leases and the Purchased Contracts at their estimated fair market values as
      of
      the Closing Date, and shall allocate the remainder of the Purchase Price to
      the
      Intangible Assets. The Buyer and the Seller agree that each party shall report
      the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for income Tax purposes in
      accordance with the agreed-upon allocation of the Purchase Price, pursuant
      to
      Section 1060 of the Federal Internal Revenue Code and the regulations
      thereunder, and agree not to take, in any filing with or accompanying any Tax
      return reporting any part of the transaction undertaken herein, a position
      inconsistent with such allocations; provided, however, that if the Buyer and
      the
      Seller are unable in good faith to reach an agreement with respect to the
      allocation of the Purchase Price consistent with the foregoing, each such party
      may allocate the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets as it deems
      appropriate but generally consistent with the foregoing.

    22. Arbitration
      of Disputes.
      It is acknowledged by the parties that a quick and efficient resolution of
      all
      claims, disputes and other matters in question under this Agreement after the
      Closing ("Disputes")
      is critical to the implementation of the terms of this Agreement. In order
      to
      effectuate such intent, the parties do hereby establish this Dispute procedure
      for use during the term of this Agreement. All Disputes shall be subject to
      this
      Section 22, it being the intention of the parties that all such Disputes be
      subject hereto regardless of any specific reference or absence of such reference
      to arbitrability herein. Prior to submission of any Dispute for resolution
      in
      accordance with this Section 22, the parties will negotiate in good faith to
      resolve such Dispute. Only if such parties cannot reach agreement within ten
      (10) days of written notice by any party to the other party that a Dispute
      exists, the Dispute will be submitted for resolution in accordance with the
      American Arbitration Association in Hartford, Connecticut. Upon such Dispute
      being submitted to the American Arbitration Association for resolution, the
      arbitrators shall assume exclusive jurisdiction over the Dispute and the
      decisions of such arbitrators shall be binding upon the parties hereto and
      may
      be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

    

    23. Covenant
      of Further Assurances.
      The parties hereto shall execute such other and further instruments and/or
      documents as shall be necessary to implement and carry out the intents and
      purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of
      any
      modification to the terms hereof as shall be mutually agreed upon by such
      parties, the parties shall execute and deliver an amendment to this
      Agreement.

    24. Complete
      Agreement.
      

    

    This
      Agreement contains the complete agreement between the parties hereto with
      respect to the sale and purchase of the Purchased Assets and other transactions
      contemplated hereby and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings
      between the parties with respect to such sale and purchase and such other
      transactions. 

    

    25. Governing
      Law.
      

    

    This
      Agreement is being executed and delivered and is being closed in the State
      of
      Connecticut. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced under the applicable
      procedural, statutory and common law of the State of Connecticut. The parties
      hereto hereby consent and submit themselves to the jurisdiction of the Courts
      of
      the State of Connecticut with respect to any controversy arising under or
      relating to this Agreement. Service of process may be effected on any party
      hereto which is not a resident of the State of Connecticut by certified or
      registered United States Mail, postage prepaid, addressed to such party at
      the
      address described in Section 21 hereof.

    

    26. Counterparts.
      

    

    This
      Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall
      be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute but one instrument.
      

     

    27. Headings.

    

    The
      various section and subsection headings and titles are for convenience only
      and
      shall be subject to no independent substantive interpretation or
      meaning.

    

    28. Calculation
      of Time.
      Whenever in this Agreement a period of time is stated as a number of days,
      it
      shall be construed to mean calendar days; provided, however, that when any
      period of time so stated would end upon a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday,
      such period shall be deemed to end upon the next day following which is not
      a
      Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. For the purposes of this Agreement, a "legal
      holiday" is any day on which banks are legally closed for business in the State
      of Connecticut.
