         be applied to that invoice, and (iii) if the amount of the payment
         matches up with the amount of a given invoice, the payment shall be

         notice of any contested invoice. Seller shall have the right, at any
         time subsequent to the Closing Date and twelve (12) months thereafter,

9.7 BREAK-UP FEE, BID PROCEDURES AND OVERBID REQUIREMENTS. Because Seller is in
bankruptcy, it is understood that the sale of the Purchased Assets may be
subject to higher bids by competing bidders. Provided that this Agreement has
not been terminated due to a material breach by Buyer, Buyer shall be entitled
to receive a break-up fee in the amount of $200,000, plus reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees) incurred by Buyer in connection
with the Agreement, not to exceed $150,000 (hereinafter, the "Break-up Fee") if
the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (or a similar transaction) does
not close (or closes at a higher price) because of a Qualified Bidder (as
defined in Exhibit 9.7). The Break-up Fee shall be payable to Buyer even if
Buyer becomes the purchaser of the Seller's assets at a purchase price greater
than that set forth in this Agreement. The Break-up Fee shall be paid to Buyer
with certified funds or by wire transfer (or by receipt of a credit in the
amount of the Break-up Fee in the event Buyer is the highest bidder) at the
closing of any transaction relating to the sale of Seller's assets. Seller shall
comply with the bidding procedures set forth in the attached Exhibit 9.7. This
Section 9.7 and the bidding procedures set forth in Exhibit 9.7 are subject to
approval by the Bankruptcy Court. Within seven (7) calendar days after execution
of this Agreement, Seller shall secure the entry of an order, in a form
acceptable to Buyer, from the Bankruptcy Court approving and authorizing the
Break-up Fee and the bidding procedures provided for in this Section 9.7 and in
Exhibit 9.7.

9.8 APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall secure the
entry of an order, in a form acceptable to Buyer, from the Bankruptcy Court
approving and authorizing the terms of this Agreement and the sale of the
Purchased Assets to Buyer free and clear of any and all liens, interests and
encumbrances in accordance with 11 U.S.C. Section 363(f).

9.9 ASSUMPTION AND ASSIGNMENT. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall secure
the entry of an order, in a form acceptable to Buyer, from the Bankruptcy Court
approving and authorizing the assumption and assignment of the Assigned Leases,
the Assigned Agreements and the Assumed Contracts (all with amendments
acceptable to Buyer, in its sole discretion, as contemplated by Section 7.2.8)
in accordance with 11 U.S.C. 363(f).

9.10 EXHIBITS. Notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement indicating
that exhibits will be attached at the time of execution of this Agreement, the
parties acknowledge that, to expedite execution of this Agreement, some or all
exhibits to this Agreement have not been prepared and will not be attached as of
the date hereof. All parties agree to in good faith prepare and finalize the
exhibits by the Closing Date. The obligations of the parties under this
Agreement are subject to their approval of certain of the exhibits as more

                                   ARTICLE 10.
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 INDEMNIFICATION BY SELLER. Buyer, its affiliates and their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns shall be
indemnified and held harmless, jointly and severally, by Seller against any and
all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards,
judgments and penalties, including, without limitation, related attorney and
consultant fees and expenses (hereinafter collectively a "Loss"), actually
suffered or incurred by

<PAGE>

them, arising out of, relating to or resulting from (a) the inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement, (b) the breach by
Seller of any of their covenants or agreements in this Agreement, (c) any
failure to comply with laws relating to bulk transfers or bulk sales with
respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (d) any liability of
Seller not expressly constituting an Assumed Obligation, (e) any liability to
which Buyer or its affiliates may be subject as a result of or arising in
respect of any employee welfare or benefit plans of Seller or (f) any aspect of
the operation of the Business on or prior to the Closing Date (all such Losses
being referred to herein collectively as the "Buyer Losses").

10.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY BUYER. Seller its affiliates, officers, directors,
employees, agents, successors and assigns shall be indemnified and held harmless
by Buyer against any and all Losses actually suffered or incurred by them
arising out of or resulting from (a) the inaccuracy of any representation or
warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement, (b) the breach by Buyer of any of its
covenants or agreements in this Agreement or (c) any aspect of the operation of
the Business by Buyer after the Closing Date (all such Losses being referred to
herein collectively as the "Seller Losses").

10.3 RIGHT OF OFFSET. For purposes of this Section 10.3 and Section 10.4, a
party seeking indemnification shall be considered the "Indemnified Party" and
the party from whom indemnification is sought shall be considered the
"Indemnifying Party." The Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified
Party, on demand, for any payment made by the Indemnified Party at any time in
respect of any liability, obligation or a claim to which the foregoing indemnity
relates. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to offset any amount owed to
the Indemnifying Party against the amount of the indemnification obligation of
the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement, including that Buyer may offset
amounts owed to Seller under the Escrow Agreement.

10.4 NOTICE AND OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEND. Each party shall promptly, and in all
events within ninety (90) days of obtaining actual knowledge thereof, notify the
Indemnifying Party of the existence of any claim, demand or other matter
requiring a defense to which the Indemnifying Party's obligations under this
Article would apply. The Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party a
reasonable opportunity to defend the claim, demand or matter at the Indemnifying
Party's own expense and with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnified Party shall
at all times also have the right to fully participate in the defense at its own
expense. Any such claim, demand or other matter shall not be settled or
compromised without the consent of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, if
the Indemnified Party does not consent to such settlement or compromise, such
claim, demand or other matter shall not be settled or compromised, but the
Indemnifying Party's obligation to indemnify with respect hereto shall be
limited to the amount for which such claim, demand or other matter could have
been settled or compromised, together with the cost of defense through the date
such matter could have been settled or compromised. If the Indemnifying Party
shall, within a reasonable time after receipt of notice, fail to defend, the
Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake the
defense, and to compromise or settle, exercising reasonable business judgment,
the claim, demand or other matter on behalf, for the account and at the risk of
the Indemnifying Party. If the claim is one that cannot by its nature be
defended solely by the Indemnifying Party (including, without

<PAGE>

limitation, any federal or state tax proceeding), the Indemnified Party shall
make available, or cause to be made available, all information and assistance
that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request.

                                   ARTICLE 11.

11.1 RIGHT OF TERMINATION WITHOUT BREACH. This Agreement may be terminated
without further liability of any party at any time prior to the Closing Date:

         11.1.1   By mutual written agreement of Buyer and Seller; or

         11.1.2 By either Buyer or Seller if there has been a material failure
         by the other party to perform or comply with any agreement, covenant or
         condition herein required to be performed or complied with by such
         party.

11.2 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this
Article 11 shall not in any way terminate, limit or restrict the rights and
remedies of any party hereto against the other party which has violated,
breached or failed to satisfy any of the representations, warranties, covenants,
agreements, conditions or other provisions of this Agreement prior to
termination hereof. In addition to the right of any party under common law to
redress for any such breach or violation, each party whose breach or violation
has occurred prior to termination shall jointly and severally indemnify each
other party for whose benefit such representation, warranty, covenant, agreement
or other provision was made from and against all losses, damages, costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys fees) arising out of or
resulting from such breach or violation.

11.3 DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT. If a Qualified Bidder, other than Buyer
(hereinafter, the "Successful Bidder") acquires Seller's assets for any reason
other than Buyer's breach of this Agreement, then the Successful Bidder shall be
obligated to immediately enter into a distribution agreement with Buyer for a
term running through at least May 31, 2003 (the "New Distribution Agreement").
The New Distribution Agreement shall be on terms consistent with the current
distribution and related agreements between Buyer and Seller and shall provide
for Buyer's exclusive distribution of specific retail customers of Buyer to whom

shall be liable to the Buyer for and shall immediately, upon such termination,
pay to Buyer the following sums:
