                                WITNESSETH THAT:

         In consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and the mutual covenants and
agreements herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Seller and Buyer agree as follows:

                                   Article I

                                Purchase and Sale

         1.1. Real Property. Seller agrees to sell to Buyer and Buyer agrees to
purchase from Seller, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement, those certain tracts or parcels of land situated in Deer Park,
County of Suffolk and State of New York, as more fully described in Exhibit "A"
attached hereto and made a part hereof, together with all improvements located
thereon, the appurtenances and hereditaments thereunto belonging (all of which
are collectively referred to herein as the "Property"), but specifically
excluding any and all personal property of Seller in or at the Property.

         1.2. Purchase Price. The full purchase price for the Property is TWENTY
NINE MILLION and No/100 ($29,000,000.00) DOLLARS (the "Purchase Price").

         1.3. Payment. The Purchase Price shall be payable as follows, the
payment of which is concurrent with the obligation to convey the Property by
Seller to Buyer at the Closing (hereinafter defined):

                  (a) ONE MILLION and No/100 ($1,000,000.00) DOLLARS (the
"Deposit") to be deposited with Escrowee (hereinafter defined) upon execution by
Buyer of this

                                       -1-
<PAGE>
Agreement as provided in Section 1.4(b) below, to be held and disbursed in
accordance with this Agreement;

                  (b) TWENTY ONE MILLION and No/100 ($21,000,000.00) DOLLARS at
the Closing (as hereinafter defined), subject to prorations and adjustment
pursuant to Section 1.6 below and in order to reflect the expenses of Closing
described in this Agreement, by wire transfer(s) of federal funds immediately
available in bank accounts designated by Seller.

                  (c) SEVEN MILLION ($7,000,000.00) DOLLARS by Buyer delivering
to Seller the purchase money mortgage and note in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit "B" (the "PM Mortgage").

         l.4. Escrow. The escrow of the Deposit shall be subject to the
following provisions:

                  (a) Seller and Buyer hereby appoint Esanu Katsky Korins &
Siger, LLP ("Escrowee") to serve as Escrowee pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.

                  (b) Buyer shall pay the Deposit by an unendorsed check subject
to collection, drawn on a bank which is a member of the New York Clearing House
Association, payable to the order of and delivered to Escrowee. Escrowee shall
deposit the Deposit in an interest-bearing bank account at JP Morgan Chase Bank,
but Escrowee shall have no obligation to obtain any specific interest rate on
the Deposit. Any party that shall receive interest on the Deposit shall be
responsible for payment of any applicable income taxes thereon. The tax
identification numbers of the parties are set forth opposite their signatures to
this Agreement. Any party entitled to receive interest on the Deposit shall
furnish an executed and completed IRS Form W-9 to Escrowee prior to delivery of
such interest.

                  (c) If this transaction shall not close as a result of Buyer's
default hereunder, then, in such event, the Deposit and any accrued interest on
the Deposit shall be delivered to Seller as and for liquidated damages within
ten (10) days following written demand by Seller, with a copy to be delivered to
Buyer, provided Buyer shall have failed to object to the release within five (5)
days following receipt of such demand by Seller. It is understood that since it
would be impossible to ascertain the amount of damages in the event of such
default by

                                       -2-
<PAGE>
Buyer, the parties agree that the Deposit plus interest thereon would constitute
a fair and reasonable sum to cover such damages.

                  (d) The parties acknowledge that Escrowee is acting solely as
a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience and that Escrowee shall
not be deemed to be the agent or trustee for either of the parties except that
Seller shall bear the responsibility for any loss of the Deposit due to the
wrongful acts of Escrowee.

                  (e) Escrowee shall not be liable to either of the parties for
any mistake of fact or of law or error of judgment or any act or omission of any
kind unless it involves willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of
Escrowee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Escrowee shall not
be responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for (i) the sufficiency,
correctness, genuineness, or validity of any check or other instrument delivered
to it, (ii) the form of execution of any such instruments, (iii) the identity,
authority or rights of any person executing or delivering any such instrument,
(iv) the terms and conditions of any instrument pursuant to which the parties
may act, (v) any loss of interest resulting from a delay in investing or
reinvesting the Deposit and (vi) any loss resulting from, in connection with, or
arising from the deposit or investment of the Deposit as provided herein,
including, but not limited to, the failure, refusal or inability of any
institution with which the Deposit has been deposited or invested to repay any
portion of the principal amount of or any interest accrued on the Deposit.

                  (f) Seller and Buyer, jointly and severally, hereby indemnify
and hold Escrowee harmless from and against all costs, claims, losses,
liabilities and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees, incurred in connection with or arising from the performance of Escrowee's
duties hereunder, except with respect to acts or omissions involving willful
misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Escrowee, and provided that
Escrowee shall not charge any fees for the performance of its services in the
ordinary course. Such indemnity shall survive the Closing or termination of this
Agreement.

                  (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Buyer agrees that Esanu Katsky Korins & Siger, LLP may represent Seller as
Seller's counsel in any

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
action, suit or other proceeding between Seller and Buyer, or in which Seller
and Buyer may be involved.

                  (h) No change or termination of this Agreement affecting the
rights, duties or liabilities of Escrowee shall be binding upon Escrowee unless
agreed to in writing by Escrowee.

                  (i) At the Closing, the Deposit together with any interest
earned thereon shall be paid by Escrowee to Seller, and Buyer shall receive a
credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the Deposit and any interest
accrued thereto. If Buyer is entitled to the return of the Deposit pursuant to
the terms hereof, then Buyer shall be entitled to the interest earned thereon.
Escrowee shall deliver or cause the institution holding the Deposit to deliver a
1099 to the party that actually receives or receives credit for any interest
which accrued to the Deposit.

         l.5. Closing. The closing (the "Closing") shall take place on or before
September 26, 2003 (the "Closing Date"). Buyer shall be entitled to a one time
adjournment of the Closing, upon notice to Seller given no later than September
25, 2003, to a date no later than October 13, 2003, with time being of the
essence with respect to Buyer's obligation to close on such adjourned Closing
Date. The Closing shall occur in the offices of Esanu Katsky Korins & Siger,
LLP, 605 Third Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, New York 10158 or at the offices of
Buyer's lender provided such lender is located in the New York City Metropolitan
area, or such other place as Seller and Buyer may select.

         l.6. Adjustments.

                  (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, all adjustments shall
be made in accordance with the "Customs in Respect to Title Closings" adopted by
the Real Estate Board of New York, Inc. As Seller and Buyer are entering into
the Lease (hereinafter defined), there shall be no adjustments at the Closing
and the following are to be prorated as of 12:0l a.m. on the expiration date of
the Lease (the "Delivery Date") with respect to the Property:

                           (i) Real estate taxes assessed against the Property
for the calendar or fiscal year for which assessed, including town, village and
school taxes;

                                       -4-
<PAGE>
                           (ii) Water charges and sewer charges, based on the
fiscal period for which assessed;

                           (iii) Fuel and other utilities;

                           (iv) Any pre-paid charges incurred with respect to
the Property; and

                           (v) All other adjustments which are usual and
customary for similar sales of like properties in the area of the Property.

                  (b) If the Delivery Date shall occur before the tax rate is
fixed, the apportionment of real estate taxes shall be upon the basis of the tax
rate for the preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation, subject to
further and final adjustment when the tax rate is fixed for the year in which
the Delivery Date occurs.

                  (c) In the event there is any error in the computation of the
adjustments pursuant to this Section 1.6, Seller and Buyer agree to readjust to
correct such error after the Delivery Date.

                  (d) The parties agree that the provisions of this Section 1.6
shall survive the Closing and the Delivery Date.

         1.7. Assessments. If on the Delivery Date, the Property shall be or
shall have been affected by an assessment or assessments which are first
assessed against the Property on or after the date hereof and which are or may
become payable in installments, then for the purposes of this Agreement, Seller
shall be responsible for the unpaid installments of any such assessment or
assessments which are due and payable prior to the Delivery Date and Buyer shall
be responsible for any unpaid installments which are to become due and payable
after the Delivery Date (apportioned in the same manner as real estate taxes
based upon the acreage of the Property).

         1.8. Environmental Due Diligence.

         (a) Commencing on the date hereof and through and including August 31,
2003 (the "Inspection Period"), Buyer, its employees and agents and the
Consultant (defined below) shall have reasonable access to the Property at all
reasonable times during normal business hours, for the purpose of environmental
inspections and tests, provided that (i) Buyer must give

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
Seller at least two (2) business days' prior telephone or written notice of any
such inspection or test, and with respect to any intrusive inspection or test
(i.e., core sampling) must obtain Seller's prior written consent (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) at the time of such notice
set forth in (i), Buyer must describe the purpose of such entry, the identity of
the persons who will be entering the Property and the expected duration of such
entry, (iii) prior to performing any inspection or test, Buyer must deliver a
certificate of insurance to Seller evidencing that Buyer and its contractors,
agents and representatives have in place $2,000,000 of comprehensive general
liability insurance and workers' compensation insurance for its activities on
the Property covering any claims arising in connection with the presence of
Buyer, its contractors, agents and representatives on the Property, which
insurance shall name Seller as an additional insured thereunder, and (iv) all
such tests shall be conducted by Buyer in compliance with Buyer's
responsibilities set forth in this Section 1.8. Buyer's environmental
investigations shall consist of Phase I and Phase II environmental reviews and
inspections of the Property to be conducted by the FPM Group and Hygenix, Inc.
(collectively, the "Consultant"), including (without limitation) taking soil and
water samples from the Property and inspection for the presence of asbestos.
Buyer's Phase II inspections shall be coordinated with Seller and conducted in a
manner that will not interfere with Seller's use and occupancy of the Property.
Buyer shall bear the cost of all such inspections or tests; provided, however,
that if Buyer terminates this Agreement as provided in subsection (b)(i) below,
Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all of Buyer's out-of-pocket costs paid or
incurred in connection with any Phase II environmental inspections of the
Property and the Report (defined below), unless Buyer terminates this Agreement
because it cannot obtain the environmental insurance hereinafter described, in
which case Buyer shall not be entitled to any reimbursement of such costs, and
shall only be entitled to a return of the Deposit and any interest accrued
thereon. In the event Buyer does not terminate this Agreement at the end of the
Inspection Period as provided in subsection (b)(i) below, Buyer shall continue
to be afforded access to the Property on reasonable advance telephone notice to
Seller. Seller shall execute all reasonably acceptable manifests required for
the disposal of any wastes derived from Buyer's inspections as set forth herein.

                                      -6-

         (b) (i) In the event that (1) the final reports by the Consultant
(individually and collectively, the "Report") indicate any Environmental
Condition (hereinafter defined) exclusive of asbestos containing materials,
which Environmental Condition is reasonably estimated to require a period in
excess of two (2) years from the Closing to obtain Material Closure (hereinafter
defined), or (2) Buyer cannot obtain environmental insurance satisfactory to
Buyer, Buyer shall have the option, in Buyer's sole discretion, to either (A) to
require Seller to remediate the Environmental Condition at Seller's sole cost
and expense, provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation with
respect to any groundwater contamination that originated off-site, or (B)
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller (the "Environmental
Termination Notice"), which Environmental Termination Notice must be sent no
later than the earlier to occur of (1) twenty five (25) business days after
Buyer's receipt of the Report, and (2) the last day of the Inspection Period. If
this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to this subparagraph 1.8(b)(i),
Buyer shall be entitled to a return of the Deposit and any interest accrued
thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Buyer
terminates this Agreement because it cannot obtain the environmental insurance
described above, Buyer shall not be entitled to any reimbursement of its costs
in connection with this Agreement or the Property, and shall only be entitled to
a return of the Deposit and any interest accrued thereon.

                  (ii) In the event that every Environmental Condition indicated
in the Report is reasonably estimated to require a period of less than two (2)
years from the Closing to obtain Material Closure, and Buyer is able to obtain
environmental insurance to its satisfaction (or if Buyer waives the requirement
that it obtain such insurance) Buyer shall have no right to terminate this
Agreement. Closure of any Environmental Condition shall be performed in
accordance with the terms and condition of this Agreement.

                  (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, it is specifically acknowledged and agreed that upon taking title to the
Property Buyer shall be responsible for and assume all costs for the removal or
abatement of any and all asbestos containing materials which may be located
thereon, and (1) Seller shall have no obligations with

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
respect thereto (except as may be specifically set forth herein), and (2) Buyer
shall have no right to exercise its termination right as set forth in subsection
(i) above as a result of any asbestos containing materials at the Property.

                  (iv) In the event that the parties cannot agree whether
Material Closure for an Environmental Condition will be obtained within two (2)
years from Closing, the parties shall submit the matter to an independent
environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to both Seller and Buyer. Seller
and Buyer each agree to accept the reasonably expected time for Material Closure
of an Environmental Condition as determined by such independent environmental
consultant.

                  (v) Buyer represents that, to its knowledge, based upon the
reports and tests received by it through July 23, 2003, there is no
Environmental Condition at the Property which would give rise to Buyer's right
to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 1.8(b).

                  (vi) Buyer shall, no later than the last day of the Inspection
Period, deliver to Seller a list of any Due Diligence Environmental Conditions
(hereinafter defined).

         (c) Buyer acknowledges that any Property information made available to
it is proprietary and confidential and will be delivered to Buyer solely to
assist Buyer in determining the feasibility of purchasing the Property. Buyer
shall not use the information for any purpose other than as set forth in the
preceding sentence. Buyer shall not disclose the contents to any person other
than to those persons who are responsible for determining the feasibility of
Buyer's acquisition of the Property, including without limitation Buyer's
insurance broker, attorneys, consultants, prospective lenders and prospective
insurance companies, and who have agreed to preserve the confidentiality of such
information as required hereby (collectively, "Permitted Outside Parties"). At
any time and from time to time, within two (2) business days after Seller's
request, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a list of all parties to whom Buyer has
provided any Property information. Buyer shall not divulge the contents of any
Property information except in strict compliance with the confidentiality
standards set forth in this subsection and as may be required by law. In
permitting Buyer to review the Property information, Seller has not waived

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect thereto, and no third
party benefits or relationships of any kind, either express or implied, have
been offered, intended or created.

         (d) In conducting any inspections, investigations or tests of the
Property, Buyer and its agents and representatives shall: (i) not disturb the
Seller, or interfere with its use of the Property; (ii) not interfere with the
operation and maintenance of the Property; (iii) not unreasonably disturb or
damage any part of the Property or any personal property owned or held by Seller
or any third party; (iv) not injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller or
its agents, guests, invitees, contractors and employees or its guests or
invitees; (v) comply with all applicable laws; (vi) promptly pay when due the
costs of all tests, investigations, and examinations done with regard to the
Property; (vii) not permit any liens to attach to the Property by reason of the
exercise of its rights hereunder; (viii) repair any damage to the Property
resulting directly or indirectly from any such inspection or tests; and (ix) not
reveal or disclose prior to Closing any information obtained during the
Inspection Period concerning the Property to anyone other than the Permitted
Outside Parties, in accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in
subsection (c) above, or except as may be otherwise required by law.

         (e) Buyer shall be responsible for any damage to the Property or other
property or any injury to any third party caused by the presence of, or any
inspections or investigations undertaken prior to, on or after, the date hereof,
by Buyer or its agents, employees or contractors, and Buyer agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all liens, claims,
causes of action, costs, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements, court costs and claims of personal injury and
damage to property) arising out of Buyer's inspections or tests under this
Agreement or any violation of the provisions of Section 1.8, provided, however,
that Buyer shall not be responsible for or be obligated to indemnify Seller
against damages or injuries arising out of any Environmental Condition disclosed
in the Report. Buyer's obligations under this subsection 1.8(e) shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and shall survive the Closing.

         (f) As additional consideration for the transaction contemplated in
this Agreement, Buyer must provide to Seller, immediately following the receipt
of same by Buyer,

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
copies of the Report and copies of any and all reports, tests or studies
resulting from the Report (but not any interim drafts of any such related
reports, tests or studies) and any amendments of or addenda to any of the
foregoing; provided, however, Buyer shall have no obligation to cause any such
tests or studies to be performed on the Property nor shall Buyer be deemed to
have represented or warranted the accuracy of any of the information contained
in the Report or any related reports, tests or studies and Buyer shall have no
responsibility or liability with respect to the Report or any related reports,
tests or studies. In the event this Agreement is terminated, then
notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller, but not Buyer
(unless required by law or in connection with any litigation involving this
Agreement), shall have the right to provide copies of the Report and any related
materials to third parties, provided that Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer
harmless from any liability arising from Seller's so providing the Report or any
related materials to third parties (unless such materials were provided if
required by law or in connection with any litigation involving this Agreement).
It is expressly understood and agreed by Seller that the provision of the Report
and any related materials to Seller as provided hereby shall not constitute, nor
be construed to constitute, a waiver by Buyer of the attorney-client privilege
or the work product privilege that may attach to any of the underlying
documents, drafts, reports, communications, tests, correspondence and otherwise
respecting the Report.

         (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section
1.8(c)(i), Seller agrees that Buyer may contact the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation and other appropriate Governmental Authorities to
obtain documentation about the current status of the Property. Seller shall be
given reasonable advance notice of any such contacts and shall be entitled to
participate in any meetings and discussions between Buyer and agency personnel.
The foregoing shall not be construed to permit Buyer to discuss any findings of
the Report with any Governmental Authority and Buyer shall have no right to
discuss the findings of the Report with any Governmental Authority, it being
agreed and understood that any Environmental Condition or other findings of the
Report shall be governed by the provisions of Article IV hereof.

forth in this Agreement. Buyer agrees to accept the Property in its condition as
it may exist at the date hereof, subject to reasonable wear and tear, unrestored
condemnation as permitted by this Agreement, and unrepaired casualty damage as
permitted by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Buyer has not relied on any representations or warranties, and Seller has not
made any representations or warranties, in either case, express or implied,
except as expressly set forth herein, as to (a) the current or future real
estate tax liability, assessment or valuation of the Property; (b) the potential
qualification of the Property for any benefits conferred by federal, state or
municipal laws, whether for subsidies, special real estate tax treatment,
insurance, financing, or any other benefits, whether similar or dissimilar to
those enumerated; (c) the compliance of the Property, in its current or any
future state, with applicable zoning ordinances and the ability to obtain a
variance with respect to the Property and possible noncompliance with any zoning
ordinance or the existence of development rights; (d) the

                                      -13-
<PAGE>
availability of any financing for the purchase, alteration, rehabilitation or
operation of the Property from any source, including but not limited to state,
city or federal governments or any institutional lenders; or (e) the current or
future use of the Property. Seller is not liable or bound in any manner by any
verbal or written statements, representations, real estate brokers' "setups" or
information pertaining to the Property furnished by any real estate broker,
agent, employee, or other person, unless the same are specifically set forth
herein as a representation of Seller. The acceptance by Buyer of the Deed
(hereinafter defined) conveying the Property shall constitute an acknowledgment
by Buyer that all obligations of Seller set forth in this Agreement have been
discharged in full, and upon such acceptance, Seller shall be released from any
and all obligations set forth in this Agreement, except only such obligations,
if any, which shall, pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement,
survive the Closing hereunder; and

                  (iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer
has been duly authorized, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
Buyer, and does not violate any provision of any agreement or judicial order to
which the Buyer is a party or to which Buyer is subject. All documents executed
by Buyer which are to be delivered to Seller at the Closing will be duly
authorized, executed and delivered by Buyer and will not violate any provisions
of any agreement or judicial order to which the Buyer is a party or to which
Buyer is subject.

         2.4. Delivery of Deed and PM Mortgage.

         (a) At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer, in addition to the
other items referred to elsewhere in this Agreement, a statutory form of bargain
and sale deed (the "Deed") without covenants against grantor's acts, in the form
of Exhibit "E" annexed hereto, which shall be duly executed and acknowledged,
conveying to Buyer title in fee simple to the Property, free and clear of all
liens and encumbrances, except for the Permitted Exceptions. All documentary
stamps, recordation taxes, transfer taxes and any other taxes or charges
required to be paid to the State of New York or any governmental subdivision
thereof in connection with the execution, delivery and recordation of the Deed
shall be paid by Seller at Closing. Seller shall prepare and Seller and Buyer
shall execute the New York State Real Property Transfer Tax Return form TP-584
at Closing. Buyer shall pay the costs of title search, title insurance and
updating the survey,

                                      -14-
<PAGE>
if Buyer elects to update the survey. If Buyer procures a mortgage in connection
with its purchase hereunder, Buyer shall pay any mortgage recording taxes and
filing fees in connection therewith. The parties also shall execute such other
documents as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the sale pursuant to this
Agreement.

         (b) (i) At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver the PM Mortgage to Seller,
which shall be duly executed and acknowledged. All mortgage recording tax and
recording fees shall be paid by Buyer at Closing. Buyer shall also pay for and
deliver to Seller a mortgage title policy insuring the PM Mortgage subject only
to the Permitted Exceptions and the Superior Mortgage (defined below). Buyer
shall deliver evidence reasonably acceptable to Seller for due authorization and
execution for the PM Mortgage. The PM Mortgage, and all rights of Seller as
mortgagee thereunder, shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to any
mortgage loan obtained by Buyer in connection with its purchase of the Property
(the "Superior Mortgage"), and to all renewals, modifications, replacements and
extensions of the Superior Mortgage. In confirmation of such subordination,
Seller shall promptly execute and deliver, at Buyer's expense, any reasonable
and customary instrument or inter-creditor agreement, in recordable form if
requested, that the holder of the Superior Mortgage may reasonably request to
evidence such subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, any such subordination shall be expressly conditioned upon (i) the
Superior Mortgage shall not be in an amount greater than $19,000,000, or if
greater, Seller's subordination of the PM Mortgage shall be limited to the
amount of $19,000,000, and (ii) the holder of the Superior Mortgage shall be an
Institutional Lender (defined below).

                  (ii) As used herein, "Institutional Lender" shall mean (1) a
bank (state, federal or foreign), trust company (in its individual or trust
capacity), insurance company, credit union, savings bank (state or federal),
pension, welfare or retirement fund or system, real estate investment trust (or
an umbrella partnership or other entity of which a real estate investment trust
is the majority owner), federal or state agency regularly making or guaranteeing
mortgage loans, investment bank, subsidiary of a Fortune 500 company (such as
AT&T Capital Corporation or General Electric Capital Corporation), real estate
mortgage investment conduit,

                                      -15-
<PAGE>
or securitization trust; (2) any issuer of collateralized mortgage obligations
or any similar investment entity (provided that such issuer or other entity is
publicly traded or was or is sponsored by an entity that otherwise constitutes
an Institutional Lender or has a trustee that is, or is an affiliate of, any
entity that otherwise constitutes an Institutional Lender), or any person acting
for the benefit of such an issuer; (3) any entity actively engaged in commercial
real estate financing and having total assets (on the date when the Superior
Mortgage is executed and delivered) of at least $100,000,000; (4) any entity
that is a wholly owned subsidiary of or is a combination of any one or more of
the foregoing entities; or (5) any of the foregoing when acting as trustee for
other lender(s) or investor(s), whether or not such other lender(s) or
investor(s) are themselves Institutional Lenders.

         2.5. Survival. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the
covenants, agreements, warranties, representations, obligations and indemnities
of Seller and Buyer set forth in this Agreement shall not survive the delivery
of the Deed and shall be deemed only conditions to Buyer's and Seller's
respective obligations to close, except that the Seller's representations set
forth in Section 2.2(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (viii), (ix), (x), (xi) and
(xii) shall survive the Closing for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days
from the Closing and Seller's obligations pursuant to Article IV shall survive
the Closing as set forth in Article IV. Buyer's representations shall survive
the Closing for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the Closing.

         2.6. Title Exceptions.

         (a) Buyer shall accept title to the Property subject to the Permitted
Exceptions. In the event that at or prior to Closing, Buyer determines that
there are title defects other than the Permitted Exceptions, Buyer shall so
notify Seller within ten (10) days of receiving notice of such title defects.
Seller shall have no obligation to cure any title defects to which Buyer has
objected, except that Seller shall be obligated to (i) remove by bond or
otherwise any monetary liens affecting the Property which were granted by Seller
pursuant to an instrument executed by Seller, and (ii) remove by bond or
otherwise any other monetary liens (including tax liens) against the Property to
the extent the cost of such removal or cure does not exceed One Hundred Thousand
and No/100 ($100,000.00) Dollars in the aggregate. If Seller shall desire to
remove

                                      -16-
<PAGE>
any title objections raised by Buyer, Seller shall be entitled to reasonable
adjournments of the Closing for the purpose of removing any such title
objections. If Seller fails to remove or elects not to remove any title defect
as provided above, Buyer shall have the right, at Buyer's election in its sole
an absolute discretion, to cancel this Agreement and receive a refund of the
Deposit together with any accrued interest thereon, or to close title
notwithstanding the title defects (x) without any credit against the Purchase
Price for such title defect, or (y) a credit or credits for the amount of any
monetary lien Seller is obligated but fails to remove pursuant to (i) above, and
up to $100,000 for the defects which Seller is obligated to but fails to remove
pursuant to (ii) above.

         (b) Seller shall deliver title to the Property in accordance with the
terms hereof and as any reputable title company licensed to do business in the
State of New York will approve and insure at its standard rates subject only to
the Permitted Exceptions. Subsequent to the Closing, Buyer shall look solely to
its title insurance company for any claims arising in respect of title matters
and Seller shall have no liability to Buyer for title defects which are
discovered subsequent to the Closing.

         2.7. Lease and Guarantee. At the Closing, (i) Seller and Buyer, in
addition to the other items referred to elsewhere in this Agreement, shall
execute the lease (the "Lease") in the form of Exhibit "F" annexed hereto, which
Lease is for certain tracts or parcels of land as more fully described therein
(the "Leased Premises"), and (ii) Seller, in addition to the other items
referred to elsewhere in this Agreement, shall cause EDO Corporation ("EDO"),
its parent company, to execute the Agreement and Guarantee ("Guarantee") which
guarantees Seller's obligations pursuant to Article IV hereof and Seller's
obligations as tenant under the Lease, in the form of Exhibit "G" annexed
hereto. Execution of (a) the Lease by Buyer and Seller, and (b) the Guarantee by
EDO shall be deemed a material condition to Buyer's and Seller's respective
obligations to close. Failure of either party to execute the Lease and of EDO to
execute the Guarantee shall be deemed a default hereunder.

         2.8 Industrial Development Agency Condition. This Agreement, and
Buyer's obligation to close title hereunder, is subject to the adoption by the
Town of Babylon Industrial Development Agency (the "IDA") no later than August
31, 2003 of an Inducement Resolution

                                      -17-
<PAGE>
evidencing the intention of the IDA to provide certain financial assistance with
respect to the acquisition of the Property by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement
(the "Inducement Resolution"). In the event that Buyer is unable to obtain the
Inducement Resolution by August 31, 2003, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by
written notice to Escrowee and Seller. In the event Buyer so terminates this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.8, (i) Buyer shall forfeit the Deposit and
any interest accrued thereon, and Seller shall be entitled thereto, and (ii)
this Agreement shall be deemed of no further force and effect except for those
matters that are expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement.

                                   Article III
                                     General

         3.1. Buyer's Remedies.

         (a) Subject to subsection 3.1(b) hereof, if at the Closing, (i) Seller
is unable to deliver title to the Property in accordance with all of the terms,
provisions and conditions of this Agreement and comply with all the material
provisions and conditions of this Agreement, or (ii) Buyer shall have been
relieved of its obligation to purchase the Property as provided in this
Agreement, then in such event Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy shall be to
cancel this Agreement by giving notice to Seller at the Closing and this
Agreement shall be deemed terminated as of such delivery, in which event the
Deposit, together with interest earned thereon shall be returned to Buyer and
Buyer shall be entitled to reimbursement by Seller of Buyer's "cost of title
examination", and thereupon all rights and obligations hereunder, by either
party against the other, shall cease and terminate and this Agreement shall be
null and void and the lien, if any, of Buyer against the Property shall wholly
cease. Buyer, without reduction of the Purchase Price or any credit or allowance
against the same and without any liability on the part of the Seller, may
nevertheless accept such title as Seller may be able to convey for the purposes
of this Agreement and Buyer shall have no rights of action against Seller
hereunder, at law or in equity or for damages.

                                      -18-
<PAGE>
         (b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if this
transaction shall not close solely as a result of a default by Seller under this
Agreement (a "Seller Default"), Buyer shall have the right (i) to seek specific
performance of this Agreement, or (ii) to recover (A) the Deposit (plus all
accrued interest), and (B) Buyer's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for its due
diligence, including reasonable legal fees and expenses in connection with this
transaction (and specifically excluding any legal fees or expenses incurred in
connection with any litigation between Buyer and Seller), engineering services,
environmental review, title examination, architectural evaluation and
non-refundable mortgage commitment fees not to exceed $772,000.00 in the
aggregate ("Buyer's Costs"). Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding
sentence, if this transaction shall not close as a result of Seller's inability
to close (e.g., due to title defects which Seller is not obligated to cure),
Buyer's Costs shall be limited to $250,000.00. In the event Buyer prevails in
such specific performance action, Buyer shall be obligated to pay to Seller the
full Purchase Price without any credit for Buyer's Costs. The prevailing party
in any such specific performance action shall be entitled to recover reasonable
attorneys' fees and court costs. In no event shall Buyer have the right to seek
damages from Seller as a result of any default or breach by Seller under this
Agreement except for Buyer's Costs. As used in this subparagraph (b), the term
"Buyer's Costs" shall not be duplicative of any reimbursement of costs paid to
Buyer pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement.

         (c) The term "cost of title examination" whenever it is referred to
herein shall be defined as the expenses actually incurred by the Buyer for
examination of title, but the cost of title examination shall, in no event,
exceed the amount which would be charged by a title company which is a member of
the New York Board of Title Underwriters for examination of title to the
Property without the issuance of a policy.

         3.2. Unpaid Taxes. Unpaid franchise taxes of Seller or any other
corporation in the chain of title to the Property or transfer, inheritance,
estate, dissolution, license or other or similar taxes levied or imposed against
former owners of the Property shall not be objections to title provided that the
title company agrees to insure against collection of such taxes out of the
Property or omits any exception in connection therewith from Buyer's title
policy issued at

                                      -19-
<PAGE>
Closing and omits any such exception from Buyer's lender's title policy, if any
in each case, without special premium to Buyer.

         3.3. Judgments or Bankruptcies Against Third Parties and Title
Affidavit. If a search of title discloses judgments, bankruptcies or other
returns against other persons having names the same as or similar to that of
Seller, Seller will on request deliver to Buyer an affidavit in form sufficient
to eliminate any exception of same from Buyer's title policy showing that such
judgments, bankruptcies or other returns are not against Seller.

         3.4. Assignment.

         (a) Subject to the provisions of Subparagraph 4.1(g), Buyer shall not
assign this Agreement or transfer any interest herein without obtaining Seller's
prior written consent, which may be withheld in Seller's sole and absolute
discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right to assign
this Agreement to an entity which is owned or controlled by, or under common
control, with Buyer. For purposes hereof, an entity shall be deemed to "control"
another entity if David Schore and/or members of Apollo Real Estate Advisors,
L.P. or Blumenfeld Development Group, Ltd. own at least twenty-five (25%)
percent of all of the (i) partnership interests, if it is a partnership, (ii)
issued and outstanding shares of stock, if it is a corporation and (iii)
membership interests, if it is a limited liability company.

         (b) In the event Seller consents to an assignment of this Agreement,
the assignment shall not be effective until Seller has been given a fully
executed copy of the assignment and assumption of this Agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, pursuant to which the assignee or
transferee shall assume and take all the rights, privileges, obligations,
liabilities and responsibilities of Buyer under this Agreement. No assignment or
transfer of any interest of Buyer in this Agreement shall release Buyer from any
liability hereunder.

         3.5. Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any portion of
the Property is taken by eminent domain or a notice of any eminent domain
proceeding with respect to the Property or any part thereof is received by
Seller, Seller shall give notice thereof to Buyer. In such event, Buyer shall
have the option to (a) complete the purchase hereunder, or (b)

                                      -20-
<PAGE>
terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall be null, void and
of no further force and effect and the Deposit with any interest accrued thereon
shall be paid to Buyer. Buyer shall deliver written notice of its election to
Seller on or before the earlier of (x) twenty (20) days after the date upon
which Buyer receives written notice of eminent domain proceedings, or (y) the
Closing Date. If notice of condemnation is received by Buyer and Buyer fails to
deliver written notice of its election within the required time period, such
failure shall be deemed an election by Buyer to complete the purchase of the
Property under this Agreement. If Buyer elects (or is deemed to have elected) to
complete the purchase of the Property hereunder, the purchase shall be completed
in accordance with this Agreement, except that at the Closing, Seller shall pay,
assign and transfer to Buyer all proceeds from such proceedings theretofore
received by Seller with regard to the Property and all rights Seller has to any
future proceeds of such eminent domain proceedings with regard to the Property;
provided, however, that Buyer shall make the proceeds of any eminent domain
proceeding available to Seller for restoration of the Property to the extent
Seller elects to restore. Adjustment of any condemnation claims shall be
conducted by the party entitled to receive the condemnation proceeds.

         3.6. Risk of Loss.

         (a) If prior to the Closing the Property is damaged by fire or other
casualty, Seller shall estimate the cost to repair and the time required to
complete repairs and will provide Buyer written notice of Seller's estimation
(the "Casualty Notice") as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of
the casualty.

         (b) (i) In the event of any Material Damage (defined below) to or
destruction of the Property or any portion thereof prior to the Closing, Buyer
may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to
Seller on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after the date Seller
delivers the Casualty Notice to Buyer (and if necessary, the Closing Date shall
be extended to give Buyer the full thirty (30) day period to make such
election). Upon any such termination, the Deposit with any accrued interest
shall be returned to Buyer and the parties hereto shall have no further rights
or obligations hereunder, other than those that by their terms survive the
termination of this Agreement. If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement

                                      -21-
<PAGE>
within such thirty (30) day period, then the parties shall proceed under this
Agreement and close on schedule (subject to extension of the Closing as provided
above), and as of the Closing, Seller shall assign to Buyer, without
representation or warranty by or recourse against Seller, all of Seller's rights
in and to any resulting insurance proceeds due Seller as a result of such damage
or destruction, and Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible
amount under such insurance policies; provided, however, that such insurance
proceeds shall be made available to Seller to make or perform such restoration
or repairs as Seller deems necessary.

                  (ii) In the event that the Property is Materially Damaged
prior to Closing and Seller has decided not to restore or repair the Property,
Seller may elect to terminate its obligation to enter into the Lease by notice
to Buyer (the "Material Damage Termination Notice") given on or before the
expiration of thirty (30) days after the date of the casualty (and if necessary,
the Closing Date shall be extended to give Seller the full thirty (30) day
period to make such election). In the event that Seller sends a Material Damage
Termination Notice, Buyer shall have a period of ten (10) days after Seller's
Material Damage Termination Notice to elect to terminate this Agreement. If
Seller has given a Material Damage Termination Notice and Buyer does not
terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding
sentence, then (1) the parties shall proceed under this Agreement and close on
schedule (subject to extension of the Closing as provided above), and at the
Closing, Seller shall assign to Buyer, without representation or warranty by or
recourse against Seller, all of Seller's rights in and to any resulting proceeds
of the Casualty Insurance Policy, (2) Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing of
the amount of the deductible under the Casualty Insurance Policy, (3) Seller
shall nonetheless be obligated to pay twelve (12) months' Fixed Rent and
Additional Rent (as defined in the Lease) on the dates that the installments
thereof would have come due under the Lease, and (4) the maturity date of the PM
Mortgage shall be the day immediately preceding the second (2nd) anniversary of
the Closing.

                  (iii) For the purposes of this Agreement, "Material Damage"
and "Materially Damaged" means damage which, in Seller's reasonable estimation,
(i) exceeds $500,000.00 to repair, or (ii) will take longer than one hundred
twenty (120) days to repair.

                                      -22-
<PAGE>
         (c) If the Property is not Materially Damaged, then neither Buyer nor
Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, and Seller shall, at
its option, either (i) repair the damage (either in whole or in part), or (ii)
if Seller elects not to repair the damage (either in whole or in part), then (1)
if the cost to repair is less than the deductible on Seller's casualty insurance
policy, credit Buyer at the Closing for the reasonable cost to complete the
repair, or (2) if the reasonable cost to complete the repair is greater than the
deductible on Seller's casualty insurance policy, then credit Buyer at the
Closing the amount of the deductible and assign to Buyer, without representation
or warranty by, or recourse against, Seller, all of Seller's right in and to any
resulting insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to
any period on or after the Closing Date) due Seller, and Seller shall have no
responsibility with respect to any such repairs. In the event that Seller elects
to partially repair the damage, then with respect to that portion of the damage
which is not repaired, the provisions of clause (ii) of the immediately
preceding sentence shall apply with respect to such portion of the damage which
is not repaired.

         3.7. Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given or
delivered under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have

                                   Article IV
                              Environmental Matters

         4.1. Seller's Environmental Liability.

         (a) (i) In the event that (1) the Report indicates any Environmental
Condition exclusive of asbestos containing materials (a "Due Diligence
Environmental Condition") or (2) any Environmental Condition is discovered at
the Property which is not a Due Diligence Environmental Condition and which
Environmental Condition is required to be remediated pursuant to Environmental
Laws (hereinafter defined) in existence as of the Effective Date (a "Post
Closing Environmental Condition"), Seller shall be obligated to obtain Closure
for any Due Diligence Environmental Condition and for any Post Closing
Environmental Condition ("Seller's Remediation Obligation"). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Seller's Remediation Obligation with respect to any Post Closing
Environmental Conditions shall be limited to those Environmental Conditions
which resulted from a Release at the Property during the Ownership Period.

                  (ii) Seller shall diligently and continuously proceed to
complete Seller's Remediation Obligation in accordance with all applicable
Environmental Laws and as required by the appropriate Governmental Authority
(hereinafter defined) so as to obtain Closure. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller
for the purpose of completing Seller's Remediation Obligation.

                                      -25-
<PAGE>
Seller shall perform and complete Seller's Remediation Obligation in an
expeditious manner. In the event that any part of Seller's Remediation
Obligation is performed after the expiration date of the Lease, Buyer shall
provide Seller with access to the Property to complete Seller's Remediation
Obligation pursuant to the terms of the Lease, and if requested, Buyer shall
provide Seller with access to utilities for the purpose of performing Seller's
Remediation Obligation and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the reasonable cost
of such utilities.

                  (iii) In the event of any Seller's Remediation Obligation with
respect to Post Closing Environmental Conditions which are discovered after the
expiration of the term of the Lease, Buyer shall give Seller prompt written
notice of such Post Closing Environmental Condition (the "Buyer's Post Closing
Notice"). Seller shall, within forty five (45) days of Buyer's Post Closing
Notice, obtain and deliver to Buyer bids from one or more reputable
environmental firms for the remediation of such Post Closing Environmental
Condition (the "Post Lease Work"). Buyer shall, within fifteen (15) days of the
receipt of such bids give Seller written notice of Buyer's election to perform
the Post Lease Work. If Buyer does not give Seller written notice of its
election to perform the Post Lease Work, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived
its rights to perform the Post Lease Work and Seller shall be obligated to
perform the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If Buyer
elects to perform the Post Lease Work, Seller shall, within ten (10) business
days of Buyer's election, pay to Buyer an amount equal to one hundred ten (110%)
percent of the lowest bid received by Seller for the Post Lease Work, and upon
such payment, (a) Seller shall have no further liability with respect to such
Post Lease Work, (b) Buyer shall be solely responsible for the performance of
such Post Lease Work (including, without limitation, the obtaining of any
permits and authorizations from any Governmental Authorities with respect
thereto), and (c) Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from
and against any obligation arising out of such Post Lease Work and the
Performance of the Post Lease Work, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney's fees and costs.

                  (iv) In connection with any Seller's Remediation Obligation,
Seller shall control all communications and agreements with any Governmental
Authority having

                                      -26-
<PAGE>
jurisdiction over Seller's Remediation Obligation, provided that (a) Seller
shall provide Buyer with drafts of all documents to be submitted to any
Governmental Authority, not less than two (2) business days prior to submission
thereof (or such lesser time as may be reasonable, if a shorter period is
mandated by the Governmental Authority), it being understood that Buyer shall
have the right to submit comments to such submittals to Seller, but Seller shall
be under no obligation to incorporate any such comments into the submittals, (b)
Seller shall provide Buyer, promptly upon receipt thereof, with copies of all
documentation received from Governmental Authorities pertaining to Seller's
Remediation Obligation, and (c) reasonable prior notice (which notice may be
oral) of any meetings or substantive telephone calls with any Governmental
Authorities, and Buyer shall be permitted to attend such meetings or be present
for such telephone calls, but Buyer shall have no rights to participate therein
other than to observe such communication. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller, to
the extent required, in connection with Seller's Remediation Obligation,
including the entering into of any use or development restriction which may be
required by a Governmental Authority which would limit the use of the Property
to office, industrial and retail use (the "Use Restriction"). Seller shall use
its reasonable efforts to have any Use Restriction limited to the area of the
Property which contains the Environmental Condition at issue, but shall not be
obligated to incur any material costs or liability to do so. The form of the Use
Restriction, but not the scope thereof, shall be subject to Buyer's reasonable
approval, which approval shall be deemed given if Buyer does not submit any
comments to Seller within five (5) business days of submission thereof by
Seller.

         (b) It is expressly understood and agreed that except as provided in
the Lease, Seller's Remediation Obligation with respect to any Post Closing
Environmental Condition shall be limited to the remediation of Environmental
Conditions (hereinafter defined) which are required to be remediated pursuant to
Environmental Laws in existence as of the Effective Date, and which
Environmental Conditions resulted from a Release (hereinafter defined) at the
Property during the period from the date Cutler-Hammer acquired the Property
through the date of the Closing (the "Ownership Period").

                                      -27-
<PAGE>
         (c) (i) Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and
its employees, officers, shareholders, partners, members, general managers and
directors (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all
liabilities, claims, actions, suits, demand, judgments, damages, expenses,
penalties and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from (1)
Seller's failure to comply with any Seller's Remediation Obligation, and (2)
claims by third parties for damages and other relief sought by such third
parties as a result of any Release at or from the Property during the Ownership
Period.

                  (ii) Buyer agrees that upon receipt of any notice of the
assertion by a third party of an Environmental Claim (hereinafter defined), or
upon Buyer's reasonable determination that an Environmental Claim would be
covered by Seller's indemnification as set forth in subparagraph (i) above,
Buyer shall promptly give Seller written notice of such Environmental Claim (a
"Claim Notice"). Seller agrees that within the Response Period (defined below),
Seller shall notify Buyer in writing that Seller shall defend such Environmental
Claim in accordance with the provisions hereof, including (without limitation)
the provisions of subparagraph (i) of this subparagraph (c). Buyer agrees not to
expend any sum for which it shall or may claim reimbursement or indemnification
from Seller with regard to such Environmental Claim unless (1) Seller fails to
notify Buyer that it shall undertake defense of such Environmental Claim within
the Response Period, or (2) Buyer must, in Buyer's reasonable discretion, take
action within the Response Period in order to protect Buyer's or Seller's
interests. Buyer agrees to cooperate in the defense of any such Environmental
Claims with Seller, attorneys designated by Seller and/or any insurance company.
As used herein, the term "Response Period" shall mean a period of thirty (30)
days from the date of the Claim Notice, or any shorter period within which Buyer
is obligated to respond to such Environmental Claim, provided, however, that
Buyer shall be obligated to use its good faith efforts to obtain an extension of
the period in which to respond to any Environmental Claim so that Seller shall
be afforded the full thirty (30) day Response Period. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall not be entitled to reimbursement
of any amounts expended pursuant to the terms hereof unless the Claim Notice
contains a legend in capital letters and bold

                                      -28-
<PAGE>
type on the first page thereof which states "PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF
ARTICLE IV OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, IN THE EVENT THAT YOU DO NOT RESPOND TO
THIS NOTICE WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS, YOU MAY BE LIABLE FOR ANY AMOUNTS EXPENDED
BY THE UNDERSIGNED IN CONNECTION WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIM DESCRIBED HEREIN."
The thirty (30) day period referenced in such legend shall be adjusted to
reflect the actual number of days within which Seller must respond, which number
of days shall be determined in accordance with this subparagraph (c)(ii).

                  (iii) Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Seller and its employees, officers, shareholders, partners, members, general
managers and directors from and against any and all liabilities, claims,
actions, suits, demand, judgments, damages, expenses, penalties and costs
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from asbestos related claims by
third parties for damages and other relief sought by such third parties which
claims arose from exposure to asbestos (1) after the expiration of the term of
the Lease, and (2) during the term of the Lease if such exposure arose out of
actions taken by Buyer or its agents during the term of the Lease.

                  (iv) "Hazardous Substance" shall mean any pollutant,
contaminant, chemical waste, substance or material, whether or not defined or
regulated as such in any Environmental Law, including (without limitation)
asbestos, petroleum (including any crude oil or any fraction), petroleum
constituents including chemicals associated with petroleum, radioactive
substances, polychlorinated biphenyls or any other material which has the
potential to become a Hazardous Substance; provide, to the extent that the

substance" which is broader than that specified here or in any Environmental
Law, such broader meaning shall apply.

monitoring required by and the actual receipt of a final, unconditional "no
further action" letter, certificate of completion, or equivalent document

Seller's Remediation Obligation or with respect to which Seller has been
released from liability pursuant to the provisions of Subsection 4.1(a)(iii),

Seller with respect to third party, which claims and rights Seller retains.

after the date hereof. In any event, Seller shall remain liable for any fines or
penalties associated with any violations against the Property, whenever

except as provided for in Section 3.4 hereof.

         5.6. Waiver. Any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement may be

interpretation, if any, requiring construction against either party.

         5.8. Enforceability. If any provision of this Agreement as applied to
any party or to any circumstance shall be adjudged by a court to be invalid or
unenforceable, the same shall in no way affect any other provision of this
Agreement, the application of such provision in any other circumstances, or the
validity or enforceability of this Agreement. The parties intend this Agreement
to be enforced as written. If any provision of this Agreement shall otherwise
finally be determined to be unlawful, then such provision shall be deemed to be
severed from this Agreement and every other provision of this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect.

         5.9. No Third-Party Beneficiaries or Right to Rely. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (a) nothing in this Agreement is

         5.11 Maintenance of Property. Between the date hereof and the Closing,
Seller shall maintain the Property in its current condition, reasonable wear and
tear, condemnation and casualty excepted.

including all Exhibits hereto, constitutes the sole understanding of the parties
with respect to the matters contemplated hereby and thereby and supersedes and
renders null and void all prior agreements and understandings between the

understandings, representations and agreements heretofore had between the
parties

                                      -35-

or representation not embodied in this Agreement, made by the other. All of the

inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of the respective
parties. This Agreement may not be changed or terminated orally. No amendment,

Craig R. Callen

3 East 77th Street, Apt. 4A

New York, NY 10021

Dear Craig:

I am pleased to offer you the position of Senior Vice President, Strategic Planning and Business
Development of Aetna Inc., reporting to me. In this role you will serve as a member of the Office
of the Chairman. This offer letter replaces and supercedes my offer letter of April 19, 2004.

We look forward to having you start work on or before Tuesday, June 1, 2004. Your base salary will
be $575,000 per year, payable in accordance with the company’s regular payroll practices (currently
bi-weekly). Your salary will be reviewed periodically for a possible salary increase and the
company may also from time to time review and adjust salaries to reflect appropriate compensation
for each position.

You will be eligible for consideration for an award under the company’s annual incentive program
beginning with the 2004 performance year (payable in 2005 as long as the plan is in effect). Each
year thereafter, while you are employed by the company, you will be eligible for consideration for
additional awards under the annual incentive program while the plan remains in effect. Your
full-year annual target bonus opportunity will be 80% of your base salary.

We will recommend to the Board of Directors Committee on Compensation and Organization that you be
granted an option to purchase sixty thousand (60,000) shares of Aetna common stock. The option
will be based on the closing price of Aetna common stock on the effective date of the grant (no
earlier than the date you begin work), in accordance with company option grant practices. This
option will vest and be exercisable as described in the option award agreement (which will include
a one-year post-termination exercise period), and will be subject to you agreeing to the terms of
the award agreement and the plan.

We will recommend to the Board of Directors Committee on Compensation and Organization that you be
granted seven thousand (7,000) performance units in our 2004-2005 long-term performance program.
This award will vest on the performance criteria to be set forth in an award agreement and will be
subject to you agreeing to all of the terms of the award agreement and the plan.

We will recommend to the Board of Directors Committee on Compensation and Organization that you be
granted restricted stock which we determine has a value on the day of grant determined as follows:
the amount will be calculated as the amount you forfeit under existing awards with your current
employer provided that (i) the date such forfeiture is calculated shall be a date no later than May
14, 2004 and (ii) the value of the restricted stock to be granted in no event will exceed
$2,000,000. The award will be subject to your agreeing to the terms of the award agreement and the
plan. The restricted stock will vest over three years, with one third vesting on each of the
first, second and third anniversaries of your start of employment.

You will be eligible to participate in our contributory health and welfare benefit plan. Coverage
for medical, dental, life, disability, flexible spending accounts and accident benefits will become
effective on the first of the month following the date you begin work. If you begin work on the
first of the month, your benefits will become effective immediately. Information on Aetna’s total
benefits package (various benefit programs and services and associated costs), can be accessed at
www.Aetna.com/working (Benefits). Once you begin work, you can enroll for coverage through
our Intranet site.

For the purpose of Paid Time Off (PTO) accrual only, you will earn PTO days as if you had ten (10)
years of service. In your first partial calendar year of employment, your PTO accrual will be
pro-rated, based on your hire date. PTO includes time out of the office for vacation, personal
time, family illness, and incidental sick days.

In the event your employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause, you will be
entitled to 52 weeks of base salary continuation in lieu of any other severance or salary
continuation benefit to which you might otherwise have been entitled under Company plans or
programs then in effect, upon delivery to the Company of a release of any employment-related claims
in the Company’s customary form. In the event that your employment is terminated under
circumstances for which you are paid this base salary continuation by the Company, then your
sign-on restricted stock will immediately vest. For these purposes, cause shall mean (i) material
and repeated failure to perform your responsibilities after reasonable notice to you and an
opportunity to cure, (ii) your engaging in misconduct that is injurious to the Company, (iii) your
having been convicted of, or entered a plea of nolo contendere to, a crime that
constitutes a felony, (iv) the material breach by you of any restrictive covenants in the Company’s
favor, (v) an act of fraud or embezzlement with respect to the Company, or (vi) a breach or
violation of the Company’s Code of Conduct, as amended from time to time, sufficient to warrant a
for cause termination consistent with the Company’s past practice.

To assist you with your expenses associated with establishing residence in the Hartford, CT area,
the company will pay you $50,000. If you voluntarily terminate your employment or are terminated
for cause within 12 months of your start date, you will be responsible for repaying the full
amount, after taxes. If you voluntary terminate your employment or are terminated for cause after
12 months, but before 18 months of your start date, you will be responsible for repaying 50% of
this amount, after taxes.

As you were previously advised, a drug test is part of the standard pre-employment process. This
job offer is contingent upon your passing a urinalysis drug test before your start date. Your test
must be scheduled and taken no later than two business days from the date you accept our offer of
employment. If an appointment has not been made yet, please phone Chris Berger (860.273.7963) upon
receipt of this letter so that she may provide you with the information necessary to schedule an
appointment. The enclosed handout, “Drug Test Collection
Procedure – What You Can Expect” should
answer any questions you may have about taking the test.

This offer is also contingent upon successful completion of a background check, references and a
satisfactory review of documents that show you are legally entitled to work in the United States.
Federal law requires that we verify the employment authorization of all new employees. On your
first day, you must bring appropriate documentation to verify both your identity and employment
eligibility. Please carefully review the enclosed materials that provide information about certain
documents (List of Acceptable Documents) that you must bring to work on your first day.

This offer is made based on your representation that you are not subject to any restrictive
covenants with any present and/or former employers. In addition, as a result of your previous
employment, you may be subject to an obligation not to disclose confidential or proprietary
information. We expect that you will comply with any such obligation and that you will not breach
any such obligation during the course of your employment with the company.

The continuation of your current outside board directorship will be subject to the company’s usual
conflict of interest analysis and approval by the company’s Board Committee of Compensation and
Organization.

To protect the company’s proprietary information, as a condition of your employment, you will be
required to sign and return the attached Non-Solicitation, Confidentiality and Assignment
Agreement. Please keep a copy for your records. Nothing in the documents or plans presently
applicable to you is intended to preclude you from being employed in or engaging in any aspect of
the healthcare business if, as and when you are no longer employed by the Company.

This offer and your acceptance of that offer also are contingent upon your agreement to use the
Company’s mandatory/binding arbitration program rather than the courts to resolve
employment-related legal disputes. In arbitration, an arbitrator instead of a judge or jury
resolves the dispute, and the decision of the arbitrator is final and binding. The enclosed
materials should answer any questions you have about Aetna’s Employment Dispute Arbitration
Program. WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS SUBJECT TO THE ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT, ARBITRATION REPLACES YOUR
RIGHT AND THE COMPANY’S RIGHT TO SUE OR PARTICIPATE IN A LAWSUIT. YOU ARE ADVISED TO, AND MAY TAKE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO, OBTAIN LEGAL ADVICE BEFORE FINAL ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS OF THIS OFFER. Please
complete the enclosed Employment Dispute Arbitration Acknowledgement form and return it to Chris
Berger on or before your first day of employment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any
document or plan of the Company, any arbitration between you and the Company shall be held in New
York City at the offices of the American Arbitration Association.

You should understand that this letter is not an employment contract. Aetna is an “at will”
employer and makes no representation of continued employment. While the company hopes that its
employment relationship with its employees will be mutually enjoyable and lasting, employees may
terminate their employment at any time, with or without cause, or notice, and the company may do
the same.

Your New Employee Orientation will be delivered via Aetna’s Intranet on your start date. Our
orientation web-site will provide you with information which allows you to sign-up for benefits,
handle payroll administration functions, obtain your employee I.D. badge and parking hang tag
(where applicable). Look for the “Welcome to Aetna” e-mail that will start you on your orientation
experience.

Enclosures

 

 

NON-SOLICITATION, CONFIDENTIALITY AND ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT

WHEREAS, I, Craig R. Callen, as an executive of Aetna Inc. or one of its subsidiaries or
affiliates (collectively, the “Company”), will be entrusted with knowledge of the Company’s
information and materials described below, and will be trained and instructed in the Company’s
particular operational methods; and

WHEREAS, I am desirous of being in the Company’s employment as an at-will employee;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of my employment with the Company, the Company providing to me
Confidential Information as described below and other good and sufficient consideration, I hereby
covenant and agree as follows:

	1.  	I covenant and agree that for a period of twelve (12) months after my employment with the
Company has been terminated for any reason, whether with or without cause and whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, I will not directly or indirectly (a) solicit or aid in the
solicitation of any employee of the Company, (b) solicit or aid in the solicitation on behalf
of a Competitor of any customer of the Company with whom I have been personally involved,
either directly or indirectly, or (c) induce any health care supplier or provider, broker or
agent of the Company to cease or curtail providing services to the Company. As used in this
Agreement, a “Competitor” is any company or organization that develops, administers, operates,
offers or solicits offers regarding managed care, health, pharmacy, dental, life, long-term
care or disability coverages, networks, insurance or plans to employers, employees or
individuals.
	 
	2.  	The Company agrees to provide me with access to the Company’s trade secrets, confidential
information, and proprietary materials which may include but is not limited to the following
categories of information and materials: methods, procedures, computer programs, databases,
customer lists and identities, provider lists and identities, employee lists and identities,
processes, premium and other pricing information, research, payment rates, methodologies,
contractual forms, and other information which is not publicly available generally and which
has been developed or acquired by the Company with considerable effort and expense
(“Confidential Information”). I covenant and agree to hold all of the foregoing trade
secrets, confidential information and proprietary materials in the strictest confidence and
shall not disclose, divulge or reveal the same to any person or entity during the term of my
employment with the Company or at any time thereafter.
	 
	3.  	I understand that I am an at-will employee and that either I or the Company may terminate our
employment relationship at any time, with or without cause or notice. Upon such termination,
and prior to such termination upon request of the Company, I shall immediately return to the
Company all Company property, documentation, trade secrets, confidential information and
proprietary materials in my possession, custody or control, and shall return any copies
thereof. After termination of my employment with the Company, I further agree to cooperate
reasonably with all matters requested by the Company within the scope of my employment with
the Company.
	 
	4.  	The purpose of this Agreement, among other things, is to protect the Company from unfair or
inappropriate competition and to protect its trade secrets, confidential information and
business relationships. I agree that if the scope of enforcement of this Agreement is ever
disputed, a court or other competent trier of fact may modify and enforce it to the extent it
believes is lawful and appropriate.
	 
	5.  	I acknowledge that all original works of authorship that are made by me (solely or jointly
with others) within the scope of my employment and which are protectable by copyright are
“works made for hire” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C.,
Section 101). I further acknowledge that, while employed by the Company, I may develop
ideas, inventions, innovations, procedures, methods, know-how or other works which relate to
the Company’s current or are reasonably expected to relate to the Company’s future business
that may be patentable. To the extent any such works may be patentable, I agree that the
Company may file and prosecute any application for patents in my name and that I will, on
request, assign to the Company (and take all such further steps as may be reasonably
necessary to perfect the Company’s sole and exclusive ownership of) any such application and
any patents resulting therefrom.

	6.  	I acknowledge that compliance with this Agreement is necessary to protect the business and
good will of the Company and that any actual or prospective breach will cause injury or
damage to the Company which may be irreparable and for which money damages may not be
adequate. I therefore agree that if I breach or attempt to breach this Agreement, the
Company shall be entitled to obtain temporary, preliminary and permanent equitable relief,
without bond, to prevent irreparable harm or injury, and to money damages, together with any
and all other remedies available under applicable law. I understand that I shall be liable
to pay the Company’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in any successful action to enforce
this agreement. The Company agrees not to seek injunctive or other equitable relief for a
period in excess of 12 months for a breach of any nonsolicitation provision contained in any
other agreement between us, including my performance unit award agreement, notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary in such agreement.
	 
	7.  	Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach,
termination, or validity thereof, except for temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive
relief or any other form of equitable relief, shall be settled by binding arbitration
administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in Hartford County, Connecticut
and conducted by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules
(“Rules”). The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§
1-16, to the exclusion of state laws inconsistent therewith or that would produce a different
result, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court
having jurisdiction thereof. Except as may be required by law or to the extent necessary in
connection with a judicial challenge, or enforcement of an award, neither a party nor the
arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, record or results of an arbitration.
Fourteen (14) calendar days before the hearing, the parties will exchange and provide to the
arbitrator (a) a list of witnesses they intend to call (including any experts) with a short
description of the anticipated direct testimony of each witness and an estimate of the length
thereof, and (b) premarked copies of all exhibits they intend to use at the hearing.
Depositions for discovery purposes shall not be permitted. The arbitrator may award only
monetary relief and is not empowered to award damages other than compensatory damages.
	 
	8.  	This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut.
The Company does not intend to enforce the restrictions in Paragraph 1 above to the extent
(a) such enforcement would violate applicable law or (b) the restrictions are invalid or void
under applicable law. I hereby irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction of the
courts of the State of Connecticut, it being acknowledged that the Company maintains its
headquarters in said location.
	 
	9.  	This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and no verbal or other statements, inducements or
representations have been made or relied upon by any party. No modifications or change hereby
shall be binding upon any party unless in writing executed by all parties.
	 
	10.  	I acknowledge that the Company is relying upon my foregoing commitments and obligations in
revealing trade secrets and confidential information to me, in making any future annual
bonus or salary increase and/or any other payments to me, and in otherwise employing me.
