         3.       FURTHER ASSURANCES.

         (a) In accordance with the foregoing, ART hereby constitutes and
appoints Cooper as ART's true and lawful attorney, with full power of
substitution, in ART's name and stead, but on behalf and for the benefit of
Cooper to demand and receive any and all of the Assets in accordance with the

assigns, may deem proper for the collection or reduction to possession of any of
the Assets or for the collection" and enforcement of any claim or right of any
kind hereby sold, conveyed, transferred and assigned, or intended so to be, and
to do all acts and things in relation to the Assets which Cooper shall deemed

request of Cooper, and without further consideration, ART shall execute and
deliver such other documents, certificates and instruments of sale, transfer,
conveyance, assignment and confirmation, and take such other action, as Cooper

effectively transfer, convey and assign to Cooper all of the Assets. This
Agreement shall serve as the bill of sale of the Assets.

         4. [EPILIFT] TRADEMARK. To the extent that ART's [EpiLift] trademark
(the "Trademark") appears on the Assets or on sales and marketing materials
prepared prior to the date hereof, ART hereby grants a royalty-free license to

or until such property is used and exhausted, but in no event more than 180 days
after the Closing.

         5. RELEASE. ART, acting on its own behalf and on behalf of its
directors and officers, hereby unconditionally releases and discharges Cooper,
and its officers, directors, agents, successors and representatives, from any
and all claims, liabilities, demands, obligations, costs, expenses, actions and
causes of action, of every nature, character and description, known and unknown,
fixed or contingent, other than as to Cooper's specific obligations under this
Agreement, which ART (or any person claiming through or on behalf of the ART)
now owns or holds, or has at any time heretofore owned or held, against Cooper.

         6. WAIVER OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS. The parties hereby waive and relinquish
all rights and benefits, if any, afforded by Section 1542 of the Civil Code of
the State of California. The parties understand that the facts in respect of
which the release made in this instrument is given may hereafter turn out to be
other than or different from the facts in that connection now known or believed
to be true; and the parties hereby accept and assume the risk of the facts
turning out to be different and agree that this release shall be and remain in
all respects effective and not subject to termination or rescission by virtue of
any such difference in facts.

         Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California reads as
follows:

<PAGE>

         "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does
         not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the
         release, which if known by him must have materially affected his
         settlement with the debtor."

         7. ADVICE; REPRESENTATION. ART acknowledges that it has obtained such
advice, including advice from legal counsel, as he has deemed necessary and
appropriate under the circumstances. ART is aware that under this Agreement it
forgoes certain legal rights, and is willing to forego those rights in exchange
for the settlement consideration described herein.

         8. AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented
only by a written instrument executed by Cooper and ART.

         9. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to
any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application
of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction

         10. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts for the convenience of the parties hereto, all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.

                            [SIGNATURE PAGE FOLLOWS]

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Cooper and ART have executed this Subscription
Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

        otherwise incur any expense in excess of $37,500.00 to remove any Title Defect.
        The existence of any taxes, liens, or encumbrances, other than the Permitted
        Exceptions, shall not be objections to title if properly executed instruments
        necessary to satisfy the same are delivered to the Title Company at or before
        the Closing, together with recording and filing fees, if any, so that the
        Title
        Company may omit such taxes, liens, or encumbrances from its schedule of
        exceptions to title. If the Premises or any part thereof is subject to any
        lien,
        the amount of which has not been fixed, the same shall not be a Title Defect
        provided the Title Company shall insure Purchaser against collection of such
        lien from the Premises or from Purchaser.

       

      D.  In
        the
        event there exists any Title Defect which Seller is unable to cure as described
        in paragraph (C) above at the time of Closing, Purchaser shall have the option
        of (i) closing title, notwithstanding such Title Defect, without any abatement
        of the Purchase Price, or (ii) canceling this Contract by written notice
        to
        Seller within ten (10) days after Purchaser receives written notice from
        Seller
        that it will be unable or unwilling to cure such Title Defect. In the event
        Purchaser elects to cancel this Contract by reason of the foregoing, the
        Downpayment (as hereinafter defined in Section 15) shall be returned promptly
        to
        Purchaser and neither party under this Contract shall have any further
        obligation to the other, except that Purchaser and Seller shall continue
        to
        remain liable under the provisions of subsection 3.3.D & E, Section 12 and
        subsection 16.1 hereof.

       

      1.3  Responsibility
        for Violations. 

       

      A. Except
        as
        provided herein, all notes or notices of violations of law or governmental
        ordinances, orders or requirements which were noted or issued prior to the
        date
        of this Contract by any governmental department, agency or bureau having
        jurisdiction as to conditions affecting the Premises shall be removed by
        or
        complied with by Seller. If such removal or compliance has not been completed
        prior to the Closing, and the reasonable value is less than $25,000.00, Seller
        shall pay to Purchaser at the Closing the reasonably estimated unpaid cost
        to
        effect or complete such removal or compliance, and Purchaser shall be required
        to accept title to the Premises subject thereto. All such notes or notices
        of
        violations noted or issued on or after the date of this Contract shall be
        the
        sole responsibility of Purchaser.

       

      
        
          

        

      

      
      

      B.  If
        required, Seller, upon written request by Purchaser, shall promptly furnish
        to
        Purchaser written authorizations to make any necessary searches for the purposes
        of determining whether notes or notices of violations have been noted or
        issued
        with respect to the Premises.

      3.1  A.
        Purchaser shall have a period of forty-five (45) days from the date hereof
        (the
“Investigation Period”) within which it may conduct investigations and studies
        concerning the Premises. (Such investigations and studies are hereinafter
        referred to as the “Purchaser’s Investigation Period Permitted Activities”). Any

      B.  During

        inspect the Premises which inspection may include, but shall not be limited
        to

      C.  If,
        at or
        prior to the expiration of the Investigation Period, Purchaser shall not
        be
        fully satisfied, in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion, as to the suitability of
        the Premises and all factors concerning same, then, in such event, Purchaser
        shall have the right to cancel this Contract by notice to Seller on or before
        the last day of the Investigation Period (such date hereinafter referred

        liability of Seller shall be to cause the Escrow Agent to refund the Downpayment
        within ten (10) days after receipt of Purchaser’s cancellation notice and all

        parties hereto shall be relieved of all further obligations and liabilities
        other than any arising under subsection 3.2D and Section 12 hereof.

        shall

        not
        to exceed $25,000.00 or, alternatively, credit Purchaser at closing an amount
        not to exceed $25,000.00.

        incur, suffer or sustain, or for which Seller may become obligated or liable
        by
        reason of any act or omission on the part of Purchaser, its employees, agents,
        and/or independent contractors in the performance of conduct of Purchaser’s
        Investigation Period Permitted Activities or by reason of any injury to or
        death
        of persons or loss of or damage to property in connection with, or as a result
        of, any such entry or entries upon or use of the Premises by Purchaser, its
        employees, agents, and/or independent contractors in connection with Purchaser’s

        required by Section 13 of the Lien Law, and properly executed in proper form
        for
        recording so as to convey to Purchaser fee simple title to the Premises,
        subject
        only to the Permitted Exceptions.

       

      8.2  A
        form
        TP-584 duly executed by Seller, a New York State Equalization Form (RP-5217)
        executed by Seller, and any other instruments, affidavits and/or tax returns
        as
        are customarily executed by the seller of an interest in real property in
        connection with the recording of a deed.

       

      8.3  The
        Service Contracts, which shall be initialed by Purchaser, to the extent same
        are
        assignable by Seller to Purchaser.

        the
        extent they are then in Seller’s possession and not posted at the Premises,
        certificates, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals issued for

        respect to the Premises by governmental and quasi-governmental authorities
        having jurisdiction.

       

      8.5  An
        assignment to Purchaser, without recourse or warranty, of all of the interest

        in
        effect and are assignable by Seller to Purchaser.

       

      8.6  A
        Non-foreign affidavit with respect to Seller as required by IRC Section
        1445(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”) and the

        Seller’s name; and other documents as the Title Company may reasonably
        require.

       

      8.8  Seller

        to
        the terms of various credit line loans and guarantees (collectively, the
        "Lending Agreements"). Seller, and/or its affiliates, shall diligently pursue
        such approvals upon execution of this Contract. If Seller and/or its affiliates
        is unable to obtain the approvals within thirty (30) days from the date hereof,

        refunded to Purchaser unless the parties hereto agree to extend Seller's

        within which to obtain the approvals. In the event this Contract is terminated
        by reason of this Section, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for any
        out-of-pocket costs incurred during the Investigation Period, including but
        not
        limited to net title costs, survey costs and Phase I fee and legal fees up

        to
        the appropriate officers in payment of all applicable real property transfer
        taxes and copies of any required tax returns therefor executed by Seller,
        unless
        Seller elects to have Purchaser pay any of such taxes and credit Purchaser
        with
        the amount thereof.

      APPORTIONMENTS
        AND OTHER PAYMENTS

      

      10.1  The
        following apportionments shall be made between the parties at the Closing
        as of
        the close of business on the day immediately prior to the Closing
        Date:

       

      A.
        real
        estate taxes, water charges and sewer rents, if any, on the basis of the
        lien
        period for which assessed, except if there is a water meter on the Premises,
        apportionment at Closing shall be based on the last available reading, subject
        to adjustment after Closing when the next reading is available;

      

      If
        the
        Closing shall occur before a new tax rate is fixed, the apportionment of
        taxes
        at the Closing shall be based upon the tax rate for the immediately preceding
        period applied to the latest assessed valuation. Installments for assessments
        noted against the Premises prior to Closing shall be the responsibility of
        the
        Seller;

      

      B.  value
        of
        fuel stored on the Premises, if any, at the price then charged by Seller’s
        supplier, including any taxes;

       

      C.  charges
        under any transferrable Service Contracts;

       

      D.  insurance
        premiums on transferrable insurance policies which are being assigned to
        Purchaser or permitted renewals thereof;

       

      E.  any
        other
        sums required to be paid by either party to the other at the Closing pursuant
        to
        the provisions of this Contract.

       

      10.2  In
        the
        event the net apportionment or payment is required to be made by Purchaser,
        the
        amount due shall be added to the payment due at the Closing and paid either
        by
        wire transfer or by certified check or official bank check; or, in the event
        the
        net apportionment or payment is required to be made by Seller, the amount
        due
        shall be applied, as a credit against the amount due at the
        Closing.

       

      10.3  The
        parties hereto agree that any errors or omissions in computing apportionments
        at
        the Closing shall be corrected promptly after discovery, but in no event
        later
        than six (6) months after the Closing.

       

      10.4  Seller
        shall pay the New York State transfer tax on the deed of conveyance. Purchaser
        shall pay the following costs: any transfer taxes imposed upon a Purchaser
        by
        statute, the title insurance premium and the services charged by the Title
        Company (if any), the cost of all recording charges in connection with the
        Closing other than charges incurred to record documents in connection with
        the
        clearing of title by Seller pursuant to this Contract (which recording charges
        shall be paid by Seller), except as otherwise provided herein.

       

      
        
          

        

      

      
      

       

      10.5  To
        the
        extent that Purchaser requests an assignment to its lender of any existing
        mortgage(s) encumbering the Premises, Seller shall receive as a credit from
        Purchaser, one half of the saving on the mortgage recording taxes.
        Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may refuse to permit any such existing
        mortgage to be assigned unless Seller and any guarantor is released from
        any and
        all obligations under the note, mortgage and any other instruments(s) comprising
        the loan documents, in form satisfactory to Seller 

       

      10.6  The
        provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the Closing in accordance with
        the
        terms
        hereof.

       

      SECTION
        11  

      TERMINATION
        AND REMEDIES

      

      11.1  A.
        In the
        event that on the Closing Date or after any permitted adjournment of the
        Closing
        Date, any of Seller’s representations or warranties contained herein are untrue
        in any material respect or if Seller shall have failed to have performed
        any
        material covenant and/or agreement contained herein which is to be performed
        by
        Seller, or if any of the conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to
        consummate the transactions contemplated hereby shall have failed to occur,
        Purchaser may, at its option (i) terminate this Contract by giving written
        notice of termination to Seller, in which event Purchaser shall receive a
        refund
        of the Downpayment and neither party under this Contract shall have any further
        obligation to the other, or (ii) close title to the Premises without any
        abatement of the Purchase Price, in which event Purchaser shall be deemed
        to
        have waived any rights it may have had on account of such untruth, failure
        to
        perform or failure to occur. In the event Seller is unable to convey title
        in
        accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Seller shall pay Purchaser's
        net
        cost of examining title and the costs for a survey.

       

      B.
        If the
        Closing does not occur as a result of the default of Seller, Purchaser shall
        be
        entitled to the right to exercise all of its legal and equitable remedies,
        including, without limitation, an action for specific performance and shall
        also
        be entitled to have the Downpayment and interest thereon deposited in Court,
        pending Purchaser's action for specific performance. In the alternative,
        Purchaser may elect to have the Downpayment and interest refunded together
        with
        the cost of Purchaser's survey and title examination and declare this Agreement
        null and void.

       

      11.2  If
        Purchaser defaults, the entire damages which Seller will thereby sustain
        cannot
        be exactly determined; therefore, it is agreed that in the event of any default
        by Purchaser, all amounts paid by Purchaser as a deposit pursuant to this
        Contract shall be considered as liquidated damages for such failure or refusal
        of Purchaser to consummate this transaction or for any non-compliance,
        non-performance, breach or default by Purchaser, and shall become the exclusive
        property of, and be permanently retained by Seller as Seller’s sole remedy and
        Purchaser’s sole obligation in any and all events. Provided, however, that
        Seller shall provide Purchaser with ten (10) days written notice to cure
        any
        default or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement. Seller shall
        retain such amounts as liquidated damages and no further rights or causes
        of
        action shall remain against Purchaser, nor shall Purchaser have any further
        rights under this Contract or otherwise, with respect to Seller, except that
        Purchaser and Seller shall continue to remain liable under the provisions
        of
        subsection 3.2D and Section 12 hereof.

       

      
        
          

        

      

      
      

       

      SECTION
        12

      BROKER

      

      12.1  Seller
        and Purchaser each represent and warrant to the other that no broker, finder
        or
        similar persons other than OXFORD
        & SIMPSON REALTY, INC. and SUTTON & EDWARDS, INC., (“Broker”)
        was involved in or connected with this transaction. Purchaser further represents
        that no broker, finder or similar person other than Broker brought the Premises
        to the attention of Purchaser. Purchaser and Seller each hereby indemnify
        and
        agree to defend, save and hold the other harmless of and from all loss, cost,
        liability and expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees, which may be incurred by the other in connection with any claim for
        commission or other compensation, whether based on a claim of brokerage,
        or
        based on a contract, quasi-contract or tort, which may be made by any person,
        firm or corporation other than Broker who claims to have dealt with Seller
        or
        Purchaser, as the case may be, in connection with this transaction. Seller
        shall
        pay Broker pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and
        Broker.

       

      The
        representations and obligations under this Section 12 shall survive the Closing
        or, if the Closing does not occur for any reason, shall survive the termination
        of this Contract.

    CONDEMNATION
      AND CASUALTY

    

    14.1  In
      the
      event of condemnation of the Premises or any portion thereof, between the date
      hereof and the Closing Date, which would materially interfere with or adversely
      affect the Premises, Purchaser shall have the option to terminate this Contract
      by written notice to Seller, in which event the sole liability of Seller shall
      be to cause the Escrow Agent to refund the Downpayment to Purchaser. Upon such
      reimbursement, this Contract shall be null and void and the parties hereto
      shall
      be relieved of all further obligations and liabilities other than any arising
      under subsection 3.2, Section 12 and subsection 16.1 hereof. In the event there
      is a condemnation and Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Contract,
      Seller shall assign to Purchaser any condemnation award it may be entitled
      to
      receive and Seller and Purchaser shall proceed with the transaction contemplated
      herein in accordance with the terms hereof.

     

    14.2  With
      respect to a casualty at the Premises, the provisions of Section 5-1311 of
      the
      General Obligations Law shall apply to the sale and purchase provided for in
      the
      Contract.

     

    SECTION
      15  

    ESCROW
      OF DOWNPAYMENT

    

    15.1  Escrow
      Agent shall hold the proceeds of the checks delivered to Escrow Agent for the
      Initial Payment and the Additional Payment, in escrow, in an interest-bearing
      account maintained at North Fork Bank, located at 275 Broad Hollow Road,
      Melville, New York 11747.

     

    15.2  The
      Downpayment shall be held by the Escrow Agent until the Closing or sooner
      termination of this Contract and Escrow Agent shall pay over the interest or
      income earned thereon, if any, to the party entitled to the Downpayment. The
      party receiving such interest or income shall pay any income taxes due thereon.
      If for any reason the Closing does not occur pursuant to the provisions of
      this
      Contract and either party makes a written demand upon Escrow Agent, in the
      manner required for notices, for payment of the Downpayment, then Escrow Agent
      shall give written notice, in accordance with the provisions of subsection
      13.1
      to the other party of such demand. If Escrow Agent does not receive a written
      objection from the other party to the proposed payment of the Downpayment
      pursuant to the aforesaid demand within ten (10) days after the delivery of
      such
      notice by Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment
      in accordance with the aforesaid demand. If Escrow Agent receives written
      objection from the other party to the proposed payment of the Downpayment
      pursuant to the aforesaid demand within such ten (10) day period or if for
      any
      other reason Escrow Agent in good faith shall elect not to make such payment,
      Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Downpayment until otherwise directed
      by
      written instructions from Seller and Purchaser or a final judgment of a court
      of
      competent jurisdiction. Escrow Agent, however, shall have the right at anytime
      to deposit the Downpayment with the Clerk of any Court of competent jurisdiction
      in the State of New York, and Escrow Agent shall give written notice of such
      deposit to the Seller and the Purchaser, and upon such deposit being made,
      Escrow Agent shall be discharged from all obligations and responsibilities
      hereunder. The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a
      stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that Escrow Agent may
      act upon any writing believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to be signed
      and presented by the proper person and the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed
      to
      be the agent of either of the parties, and that the Escrow Agent shall not
      be
      liable to either of the parties for any act or omission on its part unless
      taken
      or suffered in bad faith, or in willful disregard of this Contact or involving
      gross negligence. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and severally indemnify,
      defend and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all costs, claims and
      expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the
      performance of Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions
      or omissions taken or suffered by Escrow Agent in bad faith, in willful
      disregard of this Contract or involving gross negligence. If the Downpayment
      shall not earn any interest, or no interest be paid thereon by reason of the
      withdrawal of the proceeds, or part thereof, under the provisions of this
      Contract or before interest shall be earned or credited, or during any period
      of
      reasonable delay in opening an account, Escrow Agent shall not be liable by
      reason thereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
      Escrow Agent may represent Seller as Seller’s counsel in any action, suit or
      other proceeding between Seller and Purchaser or in which Seller and Purchaser
      may be involved. Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except
      as
      set forth herein. Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification of the
      Contract unless the same is in writing and signed by Purchaser and Seller and,
      if Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder are not affected, unless Escrow Agent shall
      have given prior written consent thereto. The provisions relating to the
      indemnification of Escrow Agent shall survive the Closing or, if the Closing
      does not occur for any reason, shall survive the termination of this
      Contract.

      theory) created from or related to any conditions affecting the Premises created
      subsequent to Closing or result from acts or omissions of Purchaser during
      the
      Investigation Period. This release includes but is not limited to all claims,

      guidelines and the like promulgated in connection therewith, regardless of
      whether such laws and/or regulations are in existence at the time this Contract
      is executed.

     

    16.3  The
      provisions of this Section 16 shall survive the Closing or, if the Closing
      does
      not occur for any reason, shall survive the termination of this

      on
      Seller or its agents as to: (i) the quality, nature, adequacy or physical
      condition of the Premises including, but not limited to, the structural

    ASSIGNMENT
      OF CONTRACT

    

    18.1  Purchaser
      shall not assign this Contract or the rights and obligations hereunder without
      the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably
      withheld. Provided such consent is given, no such assignment of Purchaser’s
      interest in this Contract, however, shall be valid or binding upon Seller unless
      and until (a) a duplicate original thereof, in form satisfactory to Seller,
      assigning to the assignee all of Purchaser’s right, title and interest in this
      Contract, including the Downpayment, shall be delivered to Seller and (b) an
      agreement, in form satisfactory to Seller, in which the assignee shall assume
      and agree to perform and be bound by all of the terms, covenants and conditions
      of this Contract, shall be delivered to Seller. The aforesaid documents shall
      be
      delivered to Seller within three (3) days of such assignment. Notwithstanding
      the aforesaid assignment, the obligations of Purchaser named herein under this
      Contract shall not be discharged, released or impaired by such assignment.
      For
      purposes of this paragraph, any transfer of a majority of the beneficial
      ownership of the Purchaser entity shall be deemed an assignment prohibited
      hereunder.

     

    Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to assign this Contract to another
      entity with the same principal(s) as Purchaser or another entity in which
      Purchaser has a 51% or greater ownership interest.

     

    SECTION
      19

    TAX
      DEFERRED EXCHANGE

    

    19.1  Seller
      may desire to exchange, for other property of like kind and qualifying use
      within the meaning of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
      amended and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, fee title in the property
      which is the subject of this Contract. Seller expressly reserves the right
      to
      assign its rights, but not its obligations, hereunder to a Qualified
      Intermediary as provided in IRC Reg. 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4) on or before the Closing
      Date.

     

    SECTION

    MISCELLANEOUS

    

    20.1  If
      the
      provisions of any schedule or rider to this Contract are inconsistent with
      the
      provisions of this Contract, the provisions of such schedule or rider shall
      prevail.

     

    

    20.2  The
      Section headings are inserted for convenience of reference only and in no way
      define, describe or limit the scope or intent of this Contract or any of the
      provisions hereof. 

     

    20.3  This
      Contract embodies and constitutes the entire understanding between the parties
      with respect to the transaction contemplated herein, and all prior agreements,
      understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged
      into
      this Contract. Neither this Contract nor any provisions hereof may be waived,
      modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument signed
      by
      the party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment,
      discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in
      such instrument.

     

    20.4  The
      acceptance of a deed by Purchaser shall be deemed to be a full performance
      and
      discharge of every agreement and obligation on the part of Seller to be
      performed pursuant to the provisions of this Contract, except those, if any,
      which are herein specifically stated to survive the Closing. No representation,
      warranty or obligation of either party to this Contract shall survive the
      delivery of such deed except as otherwise expressly set forth in this
      Contract.

     

    20.5  This
      Contract and the terms and provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of
      and
      be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors,
      personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

     

    20.6  This
      Contract shall not be binding or effective until properly executed and delivered
      by Seller and Purchaser to each other.

     

    20.7  In
      the
      event of any dispute with respect to the reasonableness of any failure or
      refusal of Seller to grant its consent or approval or to act reasonably in
      connection with any provisions of this Contract where Seller has agreed not
      to
      unreasonably withhold its consent or approval or has agreed to act in a
      reasonable manner, Purchaser may, as its exclusive remedy, seek specific
      performance of such consent or approval or act. In no event, however, will
      Seller be liable for money damages whatsoever by reason of such
      actions.

     

    20.8  
      Seller
      represents that its Federal Employer Identification Number is _________________;
      and Purchaser represents that its Federal Employer Identification Number is
      ________________.

     

    20.9  In
      the
      event any portion of this Contract shall be declared by any court of competent
      jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such portion shall be
      deemed severed from this Contract and the remaining parts hereof shall remain
      in
      full force and effect, as fully as though such invalid, illegal or unenforceable
      portion had never been part of this Contract.

     

    20.10  As
      used
      in this Contract, the masculine shall include the feminine and neuter, the
      singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular,
      as
      the context may require.

     

    20.11  The
      parties agree that this Contract shall be governed by, and construed in
      accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

     

    20.12  This
      Contract may be executed in any number of counterparts which together shall
      constitute the agreement of the parties.

     

    20.13  Purchaser
      shall have a vendee’s lien against the Premises for the amount of the
      Downpayment, but such lien shall not continue after an uncured default by
      Purchaser under this Contract. Purchaser agrees that it shall not record this
      Contract or any memorandum or assignment thereof. Should Purchaser violate
      the
      provisions of the foregoing sentence, this Contract, at Seller’s option, shall
      become null and void, whereupon all rights of the Purchaser shall cease and
      terminate and Seller shall have the right to retain the Downpayment as and
      for
      liquidated damages on account of such default by Purchaser.

     

    20.14  Purchaser
      and Seller hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim
      arising out of this Contract, provided such waiver is not prohibited by any
      laws
      of the State of New York. Any action or proceeding brought by either party
      hereto against the other, directly or indirectly, arising out of this Contract,
      shall be instituted in a court in Suffolk County and all motions in any such
      action shall be made in Suffolk County. This paragraph shall survive the
      delivery of the Deed.

     

    20.15  Purchaser
      shall accept unacknowledged receipts, checks, letters, statements or other
      proof
      as to the amount of any liens on the property in the event that said liens
      are
      less than the record amounts and similar proof will be acceptable as to the
      payment of such liens, provided that the Title Company omits any exception
      as to
      such liens from Purchaser’s title policy.

    
      
        

      

    

     

    20.16  No
      failure or delay of either party in the exercise of any right given to such
      party hereunder or the waiver by any party of any condition hereunder for its
      benefit (unless the time specified herein for exercise of such right, or
      satisfaction of such condition, has expired) shall constitute a waiver of any
      other or further right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right
      preclude other or further exercise thereof or any other right. The waiver of
      any
      breach hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other or any
      subsequent breach hereof.

     

    20.17  This
      Contract is completely non-recourse as to Seller, and as such, only Seller’s
      interest in the Premises shall be subject to execution, attachment or any other
      claim or proceeding on account of any obligation of Seller
      hereunder.

     

    20.18  The
      personal property referred to in this Contract shall be deemed conveyed by
      the
      Deed, and no part of the Purchase Price shall be deemed allocated to such
      personal property.

     

    20.19  This
      Contract is subject to and conditioned upon the adoption by the Town of Babylon
      Industrial Development Agency of an Inducement Resolution evidencing the
      provisions of financial assistance by the Town of Babylon Industrial Development
      Agency with respect to the property to be acquired under this Contract.
      Purchaser shall promptly submit its application for the Inducement Resolution
      and diligently pursue same during the Investigation Period. In the event
      Purchaser has not received the Inducement Resolution by the last day of the
      Investigation Period, Purchaser may terminate this Contract by notifying Seller
      of same before the Investigation Period Notice Date, time being "of the
      essence". In such event, the sole liability of Seller shall be to cause the
      Escrow Agent to refund the Downpayment within ten (10) days after receipt of
      Purchaser's cancellation notice. Upon reimbursement, this Contract shall be
      null
      and void and the parties shall be relieved of all further obligations and
      liabilities, other than any arising under Subsection 3.2D and Section 12
      hereof.
