Seller shall retain the  ownership  of such Limited  Assignment  Asset but shall
provide to Purchaser  substantially the same economic benefit in respect of such
Limited  Assignment  Asset as  Purchaser  would have  received  if such  Limited
Assignment  Asset were  actually an  Acquired  Asset,  by means of  subcontract,
license or lease,  to the extent  permitted  by such Limited  Assignment  Asset;
provided that Sellers  jointly and severally  agree to use their best commercial
efforts to obtain all  approvals,  consents and waivers  relating to all Limited

time,  at the  request  of  Purchaser  and  without  further  cost or expense to

     4.06 CONFIDENTIALITY; COMPETITION.

          (a) The parties acknowledge that the value of confidential information
developed  by  Sellers  and  related  to the  Acquired  Assets  is  attributable
substantially  to the fact that such information is maintained by Sellers in the
strictest confidentiality and secrecy and is not available to others without the
expenditure of substantial  time,  effort and money.  Sellers  acknowledge  that
Purchaser would be irreparably damaged if Sellers' confidential knowledge of and
directly  related to the Acquired Assets were disclosed to or utilized on behalf
of Sellers or any other person, firm, corporation or other business organization
which  engages in the design,  research,  development,  manufacture,  promotion,
marketing, distribution and/or sale of products of the type designed, developed,
manufactured, promoted, marketed, distributed and/or sold in connection with the
CSG  Business by  Purchaser  or any of its  affiliates,  including  the Acquired
Assets,  or products which compete with such products,  and Sellers  jointly and
severally covenant and agree that they shall not, directly or indirectly, at any
time, and shall ensure that their respective directors,  officers,  then-current
employees,  agents,  affiliates,   associates  (as  the  terms  "affiliate"  and
"associate"  are  defined  by the rules and  regulations  promulgated  under the
Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended)  (each a  "Controlled  Person",  provided,
however,  that "Controlled  Person" shall not be deemed to include the directors
of Artisoft who are not and have not at any time been employed by either Seller)
shall not,  directly  or  indirectly,  at any time,  without  the prior  written
consent  of  Purchaser,  disclose  or use  any  such  confidential  information.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  if a Seller or a Seller's  Controlled Person is
requested  or  required  by  governmental  or  judicial   authorities  (by  oral
questions,  interrogatories,  requests for  information or documents,  subpoena,
civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any such confidential
information,  Sellers  agree to provide  Purchaser  with  prompt  notice of such
request(s) so that  Purchaser may seek an  appropriate  protective  order and/or
waive the Sellers'  compliance with this Section  4.06(a).  It is further agreed
that,  if in the  absence  of a  protective  order  or the  receipt  of a waiver
hereunder,  a Seller or a  Seller's  Controlled  Person is  nonetheless,  in the
opinion of its counsel,  compelled  to disclose  such  confidential  information
under  penalty  of  contempt  or other  penalty  or  liability,  such  Seller or
Controlled  Person may disclose such information to the extent required to avoid
such  penalty or liability  without  liability  hereunder.  For purposes of this
Agreement,  (i) a product "competes with" a CSG Business product of Purchaser or
any of its  affiliates if such product can be  substituted  for any CSG Business
product,  or any  part  thereof,  designed,  manufactured,  promoted,  marketed,
distributed  and/or  sold by  Purchaser  or any of its  affiliates,  and  (ii) a
business  "engages  in  competition"  with  Purchaser  or its  affiliates  if it
designs, manufactures,  promotes, markets, distributes or sells any such product
referred to in the preceding clause (i).

          (b) To further  secure the interests of Purchaser  hereunder,  Sellers
jointly  and  severally  covenant  and agree that for a period of five (5) years
from the Closing Date,  neither Sellers nor any of their  respective  Controlled
Persons shall,  directly or indirectly,  engage in competition with, or directly
or indirectly perform services (as employee,  manager,  consultant,  independent
contractor,  advisor or otherwise) for any business,  or own any equity interest

                                       10
<PAGE>
in any enterprise  (other than an aggregate of not more than one percent (1%) of
the stock issued by any publicly held  corporation)  that engages in competition
with  Purchaser  or any of its  affiliates.  In  addition,  during such  period,
Sellers  shall not (and shall  assure that none of their  respective  Controlled
Persons  shall)  directly or indirectly  solicit,  raid or entice,  or otherwise
induce  any  customer  of  Purchaser  or any of its  affiliates  to cease  doing
business  therewith or to do business with a competitor with respect to products
that are competitive  with the CSG Business  products of Purchaser or any of its
affiliates.

          (c) To further  secure the interests of Purchaser  hereunder,  Sellers
jointly and severally agree that for a period of five (5) years from the Closing
Date,  Sellers  shall  not (and  shall  assure  that  none of  their  respective
Controlled Persons shall), directly or indirectly, solicit for employment, offer
employment  to, or employ for such  person's  own  account or the account of any
other  person,  any person who is on the date hereof or on the  Closing  Date or
thereafter  becomes  an  employee  or  consultant  of  Purchaser  or  any of its
affiliates.

          (d) Each Seller  agrees that the  provisions  of this Section 4.06 are
reasonable  in scope and  duration  and  necessary  to protect the  interests of
Purchaser in confidential information. Sellers expressly agree that, in addition
to any other rights or remedies  which  Purchaser may have,  Purchaser  shall be
entitled to injunctive  and other  equitable  relief to prevent a breach of this
Section  4.06  by  Sellers,  including  a  temporary  restraining  order  or  an
injunction from any court of competent  jurisdiction  restraining any threatened
or actual violation,  and Sellers waive the making of a bond or undertaking as a
condition for obtaining such relief.

     4.07 NO DISPARAGEMENT.  Sellers on one hand, and Purchaser and SpartaCom on
the other hand,  each jointly and severally agree that such party shall not (and
shall assure that none of its Controlled Persons shall) at any time, directly or
indirectly, disparage the business reputation, products or services of the other
party or any of its affiliates.

     4.08 TRADEMARK LICENSE  AGREEMENT.  At the Closing,  Artisoft and Purchaser
shall  enter into a trademark  license  agreement  substantially  in the form of
Exhibit D hereto.

     4.09 CERTAIN EMPLOYEE MATTERS.  Purchaser shall have the right to interview
and to hire the  employees  of the CSG  Business,  but  Purchaser  shall  not be
obligated to hire any such employee.  If Purchaser  notifies Sellers at or prior
to the Closing  that it intends to hire one or more  employees,  then  effective
upon the Closing,  Sellers shall  terminate such employees and release them from
all obligations which might interfere with their ability to perform as employees
of  Purchaser.   Except  as  provided  in  Section  1.02(a),  Sellers  shall  be
responsible and liable for any and all severance and other costs and liabilities
relating to all  terminations of Sellers'  employees.  Sellers shall jointly and
severally indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless with respect to any liability or
expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from the matters referred
to in the pervious  sentence.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a
third-party  beneficiary  contract  for the benefit of any  employee of Sellers.
Nothing  herein  shall  prevent or restrict in any way the right of Purchaser to

                                       11
<PAGE>
terminate,  reassign, demote or promote any employee or to change in any way the

employment of any employee it hires.

     4.10 TRANSITIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS.

          (a) At the Closing, Artisoft and Purchaser shall enter into a services
agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereof; and

          (b) Except as otherwise provided in the Services Agreement, within ten
(10) days  following the  termination  or expiration of the Services  Agreement,
Sellers  shall have  removed all  software and data files which do not relate to
the CSG Business from all computers which are Acquired Assets, without damaging,
losing or impairing  the capacity or  functionality  of any such computer or any
other data or  software  stored or  installed  in any such  computer.  Purchaser
shall, upon reasonable prior written notice, afford Sellers reasonable access to
such computers under supervision of Purchaser's employees or representatives for
the purpose of fulfilling Sellers' obligations under this Section 4.10(b).

     4.11 WEB  SITE  LINKING.  For a period  of five  (5)  years  following  the
Closing,  Artisoft shall (i) identify on its home page the CSG Business products
previously  provided by Artisoft and thereafter  provided by Purchaser or any of
its  affiliates;  and  (ii)  provide  click-through  capabilities  to a web site
designated by Purchaser to Artisoft.

     4.12 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS; INSURANCE.  Sellers acknowledge that they will
be  obligated  to  offer  coverage  under  Sellers'  group  medical  plan to the
employees of the Sellers  following  termination  of their  employment  with the
Sellers  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  the   Consolidated   Omnibus  Budget
Reconciliation  Act of 1985, as amended  ("COBRA").  Purchaser agrees to use its
best efforts to obtain  health  insurance  coverage for its employees as soon as
practicable after the Closing. As an interim measure,  Purchaser shall reimburse
Sellers for the Cost (as  hereinafter  defined) of such COBRA  coverage  for any
former employee of the Sellers hired by Purchaser while such employee remains in
Purchaser's  employ  ("Covered  Employees")  within  30 days  after  Purchaser's
receipt of Sellers' invoice  therefor.  "Cost" shall mean, with respect to COBRA
coverage extended to Covered  Employees,  the actual allocable  premiums paid by
Sellers to provide COBRA coverage to the Covered Employees.

     4.13 GFI  SUBLICENSE.  At the Closing,  Artisoft and Purchaser  shall enter
into a  Sublicense  in the form of  Exhibit  F hereto  relating  to the  License

     4.14 PRODUCT RETURNS.

          (a) If any products  sold by Sellers prior to the Closing are returned
to Purchaser for a cash refund or credit memo ("Returned  Products"),  Purchaser
shall promptly  notify Sellers of such return and Sellers shall be solely liable
for paying such refund or  reimbursing  Purchaser for such credit,  and the same
shall be a Retained  Liability.  Sellers shall pay such refunds  promptly  after
notice from  Purchaser.  The provisions of this Section 4.14(a) shall apply only
to Returned  Products  returned to Purchaser (i) within six (6) months after the

defined).  As used herein,  "Channel  Inventory"  shall mean products of the CSG
Business in the inventory of OEM's and  distributors  of the CSG Business on the
Closing Date, whether or not Sellers have received payment for such products.

          (b) The provisions of Section 4.14(a) notwithstanding,  during the six
(6)-month period after the Closing, if in Purchaser's sole discretion, Purchaser
determines to resell any Returned  Products,  Purchaser shall refund Sellers for
the cost of goods of such Returned Products  promptly after Purchaser's  receipt
of the proceeds of such resale.

     4.15 FOURTH QUARTER OEM PAYMENTS. All payments received by either Purchaser
or Sellers with respect to sales of CSG Business products by the OEM's listed on
Schedule  4.15 for the quarter  ending June 30, 2000  ("Fourth  Quarter  Sales")
shall be prorated such that Sellers shall receive payment for the number of days
elapsed  from April 1, 2000 to the  Closing  Date and  Purchaser  shall  receive

rata share of such payment and provide the other party with a written  statement

                                   OF SELLERS

     Sellers  jointly and  severally  represent  and warrant to Purchaser as set

attached  hereto  ("Sellers'  Disclosure  Schedules"),  the section  numbers and
letters  of  which  correspond  to the  section  numbers  and  letters  of  this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
any information disclosed under one section of the Sellers' Disclosure Schedules
shall,  should the existence of the information be relevant to any other section

of the Sellers'  Disclosure  Schedules but only to the extent that the relevance
of such information to such other section is reasonably  apparent in the section
of the Sellers' Disclosure Schedules on which such information is disclosed. For
purposes of this  Agreement,  "Knowledge of Sellers"  means that any director or
officer of a Seller is actually  aware of the fact or matter in question or that
a prudent  individual in the position of any of the foregoing  could be expected
to become aware of such fact or matter in the course of  conducting a reasonable

being  conducted and to own the  properties  and assets it now owns; and is duly
qualified  or licensed to do business as a foreign  company in good  standing in
all  jurisdictions  in which the  ownership  of  property  or the conduct of its
business requires such qualification, except where such failure would not have a

                                       14
<PAGE>
material adverse effect on the business, prospects, financial condition, working
capital,  cash flow,  assets,  liabilities  (absolute,  accrued,  contingent  or

Adverse  Effect").  The copies of the  respective  organizational  documents  of

amendment,  modification  or  acceleration  of,  or give any  party the right to
amend,  modify or refuse to perform,  or modify the time within which duties are

restriction  or  commitment to which a Seller is a party or by which a Seller is
bound, or to which any of the Acquired Assets is subject, or violate any statute
or law or any  judgment,  decree,  order,  regulation  or rule of any  court  or
governmental or regulatory authority or agency.

     5.04 CONSENTS AND APPROVALS OF  GOVERNMENTAL  AUTHORITIES;  ETC.  Except as
disclosed  on Schedule  5.04,  no  consent,  approval  or  authorization  of, or
declaration,  filing  or  registration  with,  any  governmental  or  regulatory

adjustments which are not expected to be material. The financial statements have
been prepared from and are in accordance with the books and records of Artisoft,
which books and records are complete and current and represent actual, bona fide
transactions  and  have  been  maintained  in  accordance  with  sound  business
practices, including the maintenance of an adequate system of internal controls.

the uses to which they are being put;  and none of such  offices or Equipment is
in need of maintenance or repairs except for ordinary,  routine  maintenance and
repairs  which are not  material in nature or cost.  Sellers  have not  received
notification  that they are in violation  of any  applicable  building,  zoning,
anti-pollution,   health,   occupational  safety  or  other  law,  ordinance  or
regulation  in  respect  of such  offices  or  structures  or  their  operations
pertaining to the CSG Business and no such violation exists.

     5.10 LEASES. Schedule 5.10 hereto contains an accurate and complete list of
all leases pursuant to which Sellers lease real or personal  property related to
the Acquired  Assets,  true and complete  copies of which have  heretofore  been
delivered to Purchaser.  All such leases are valid,  binding and  enforceable in
accordance  with their  terms,  and are in full force and  effect;  there are no
existing  defaults by either Seller or, to the Knowledge of Sellers,  any lessor
thereunder;  no event of  default  by  either  Seller  or, to the  Knowledge  of
Sellers, any lessor has occurred which (whether with or without notice, lapse of
time or the  happening or  occurrence  of any other  event)  would  constitute a
default thereunder; and all lessors under such leases have consented (where such
consent is necessary) to the  consummation of the  transactions  contemplated by
this Agreement without  requiring  modification of, the rights or obligations of
the lessee under such leases.

     5.11 NO CONDEMNATION OR EXPROPRIATION. Neither the whole nor any portion of
the leaseholds or any other assets of Sellers  related to the Acquired Assets is
subject to any  governmental  decree or order to be sold or is being  condemned,

condemnation, expropriation or taking been proposed.

     With respect to the CSG Business only:

          (a) Schedule 5.12(a) sets forth a complete description of all software
which  Sellers own,  use or license or which  Sellers  otherwise  have rights to
sell,  modify,  incorporate in other software,  market,  license,  sublicense or
otherwise use (collectively,  the "Software").  As used herein, "Software" shall
not include  off-the-shelf  software  licensed  pursuant to shrink wrap or click
wrap licenses ("OTSS"). Each Seller owns the entire right, title and interest in
and to all of the  Software  owned  by it and  each  module  contained  therein.
Sellers have taken all  commercially  reasonable  steps to maintain the Software
which they own as a patent, trade secret and/or as copyrighted material.

                                       18
<PAGE>
          (b) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.12(b), no third party has access
to the documentation,  source code or similar material for the Software owned by
Sellers or is otherwise in a position to duplicate or make any  unauthorized use
of any such  Software,  except for  licensees of Sellers who have access to such
documentation  or source code in the  ordinary  course of business  and who have
agreed in their license  agreements with Sellers to maintain such source code in
strict confidence.  All such licensees are, to the Knowledge of Sellers, in full
compliance  with such  confidentiality  obligations and there are no defaults or
breaches thereunder.

          (c)  Current  and  complete  documentation  and source code exist with
respect to all the Software.

          (d) The  Software  owned by  Sellers  is not  subject  to any legal or
contractual  restriction  which would prevent such Software from being licensed,
sublicensed,  marketed,  incorporated in other software,  modified, or otherwise
used  or  sold  by  Sellers  without   restriction.   The  consummation  of  the
transactions  contemplated  hereby will not alter any of the rights described in
the preceding sentence.

          (e)  Except  as set forth on  Schedule  5.12(e),  no one has  disputed
Sellers'  respective right, title or interest in or to any of the Software owned
by  them,  and  Sellers  have not had any  disputes  with  any  licensor  of any
Software.  Neither the Software nor Sellers' use or licensing  thereof infringes
upon, violates,  misappropriates or conflicts with any patent, copyright,  trade
secret or other  proprietary  right or right of exclusion of any third party. To
the  Knowledge  of Sellers as of the date hereof,  no third party has  infringed
upon, violated or misappropriated any of the Software owned by Sellers.

          (f)  Except as set forth on  Schedule  5.12(f),  Sellers  have not (i)
conveyed any  proprietary  rights to the Software,  or (ii) granted or provided,
and are not  obligated  to grant or provide,  any right to license,  sublicense,
market, incorporate in other software, sell or otherwise use any Software.

          (g) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.12(g),  none of the Software has
any significant operating problems,  other than any such problems that have been
corrected or are correctable in the ordinary  course of business.  Such problems
will not in the  aggregate  result in material  losses or  expenses  for the CSG
Business.

          (h) Sellers have all rights necessary to use all hardware and Software
incorporated  in all products sold or under  development by Sellers,  including,
without  limitation,   patented  and  copyrighted  hardware  and  software.  The

or otherwise subject relating to patents,  trademarks,  trade names,  copyrights
(or applications for any thereof), maskworks, trade secrets or other proprietary
know-how or  technical  information  or  assistance,  other than those listed in

employee or consultant to transfer,  assign, or disclose information  concerning
that work to anyone other than such Seller.

and trade secrets.

               (iii)  Sellers have good title and, to the  Knowledge of Sellers,
an absolute  right to use such  know-how and trade  secrets.  Such  know-how and
trade secrets are not part of the public  knowledge or  literature,  and, to the
Knowledge of Sellers,  have not been used, divulged,  or appropriated either for
the benefit of any other person or to the detriment of Sellers. No such know-how

materials,  raw materials,  hazardous materials,  hazardous constituents,  toxic
materials  or products of any kind or from the  storage,  use or handling of any
waste, raw, hazardous, radioactive, infectious or toxic materials or products of
any kind or from the  storage,  use or  handling of any waste,  raw,  hazardous,

or  local,  relating  to air,  water,  or noise  pollution,  or the  production,
storage, labeling,  transportation or disposition of waste or hazardous or toxic
substances  or  hazardous  constituents.  Except  in  compliance  with all legal
requirements in the ordinary course of its business,  neither Seller nor, to the
Knowledge  of  Sellers,  any other  person has stored any  chemical  substances,
including, without limitation, any waste materials, petroleum, crude oil, PCB's,

in the Comprehensive  Environmental Response,  Compensation and Liability Act of
1980, as amended,  on,  beneath or about any of the properties or assets used at
any time in the  business of Sellers.  Neither  Seller has  received  any notice
advising such Seller that it is  potentially  responsible  for response or other
costs or  remediation  with  respect  to a  release  or  threatened  release  of
Contaminants,  and to the Knowledge of Sellers,  no facts exist which might give
rise to such responsibility. Except in compliance with all legal requirements in
the ordinary course of its business,  neither a Seller nor any Controlled Person
or director of a Seller nor, to the Knowledge of Sellers, any person with whom a
Seller  arranged for the transport,  disposal or treatment of any  Contaminants,
has transported,  buried,  dumped or otherwise  disposed of any Contaminants on,
beneath  or about any  other  property.  Sellers  have not  violated  and to the

applicable environmental, zoning or land use ordinance, law, rule, regulation or
order  relating to the  operation of the CSG Business of Sellers,  or any of the
processes followed or products made thereby.

"Employee Benefit Plan" means any "employee pension benefit plan" (as defined in
Section 3(2) of the Employee  Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA")),  any "employee  welfare benefit plan" (as defined in Section 3(1) of
ERISA), and any other written or oral plan,  agreement or arrangement  involving
direct  or  indirect   severance   benefits,   disability   benefits,   deferred
compensation,  bonuses,  stock options,  stock  purchase,  phantom stock,  stock
appreciation  or  other  forms  of  incentive  compensation  or  post-retirement
compensation  maintained or contributed  by a Seller or any ERISA  Affiliate (as
defined below).  For purposes of this  Agreement,  "ERISA  Affiliate"  means any
entity which is a member of (i) a controlled  group of corporations  (as defined
in  Section  414(b) of the  Code),  (ii) a group of trades or  businesses  under
common  control  (as  defined  in  Section  414(c)  of the  Code),  or  (iii) an
affiliated  service  group  (as  defined  in  Section  414(m) of the Code or the
regulations  under Section 414(o) of the Code),  any of which includes a Seller.
Complete and accurate  copies of (i) all Employee  Benefit Plans which have been
reduced to writing,  (ii) written  summaries of all unwritten  Employee  Benefit
Plans, (iii) all related trust agreements,  insurance contracts and summary plan
descriptions, and (iv) all annual reports filed on IRS Form 5500, 5500C or 5500R
for the last  three  plan  years  for each  Employee  Benefit  Plan,  have  been
delivered to Purchaser.  Each  Employee  Benefit Plan has been  administered  in
accordance  with its terms and each of the Sellers and the ERISA  Affiliates has
met its obligations  with respect to such Employee Benefit Plan and has made all
required  contributions  thereto. No Seller has made any commitments to make any
voluntary  contributions  to or to voluntarily  fund any Employee Benefit Plans.
Sellers and all Employee  Benefit  Plans are in  compliance  with the  currently
applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations thereunder.

                                       29

          (b) There are no  termination  proceedings  or other claims,  suits or
proceedings,   or,  to  the  Knowledge  of  Sellers,   investigations,   by  any
governmental  entity against or involving any Employee Benefit Plan or asserting
any rights or claims to benefits under any Employee Benefit Plan.

          (c) All Employee Benefit Plans that are intended to be qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Code have received determination letters from the Internal
Revenue Service to the effect that such Employee Benefit Plans are qualified and
the plans and the trusts  related  thereto are exempt from federal  income taxes
under  Sections  401(a)  and  501(a),   respectively,   of  the  Code,  no  such
determination  letter has been  revoked and, to the  Knowledge of Sellers,  such
revocation has not been  threatened,  and no such Employee Benefit Plan has been
amended since the date of its most recent  determination  letter or  application
therefor  in any  respect,  and no act or  omission  has  occurred,  that  would
adversely affect its qualification or increase its cost.

          (d) Neither a Seller nor any ERISA  Affiliate has,  during the six (6)
years preceding the date hereof,  maintained an Employee Benefit Plan subject to
Section 412 of the Code or Title IV of ERISA.

          (e) At no time has a Seller or any ERISA  Affiliate  been obligated to
contribute  to any  "multi-employer  plan" (as defined in Section  4001(a)(3) of
ERISA).

          (f) There are no unfunded  obligations under any Employee Benefit Plan
providing  benefits after  termination of employment to any employee of a Seller
(or to any  beneficiary  of any such  employee),  including  but not  limited to
retiree health coverage and deferred compensation, but excluding continuation of
health  coverage  required to be continued  under  Section  4980B of the Code or
state insurance law.

          (g) No act or  omission  has  occurred  and no  condition  exists with
respect  to any  Employee  Benefit  Plan  maintained  by a Seller  or any  ERISA
Affiliate that would subject any Seller or ERISA Affiliate to any fine, penalty,
tax or liability of any kind imposed under ERISA or the Code.

          (h) No Employee Benefit Plan is funded by, associated with, or related
to a  "voluntary  employee's  beneficiary  association"  within  the  meaning of
Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.

          (i) No Employee Benefit Plan, plan documentation or agreement, summary
plan  description  or  other  written  communication  distributed  generally  to
employees  by its  terms  prohibits  a  Seller  or,  if  applicable,  the  ERISA
Affiliate, from amending or terminating any such Employee Benefit Plan.

                                       30
<PAGE>
          (j)  No  Seller  or  ERISA  Affiliate  has  any  accumulated   funding
deficiency  under  Section  412 of the  Code or any  termination  or  withdrawal
liability under Title IV of ERISA.

          (k) All  contributions,  premiums or other  payments due from a Seller
under any Employee Benefit Plan have been fully paid or adequately  provided for
on the books and financial  statements of such Seller. All accruals  (including,
where appropriate,  proportional accruals for partial periods) have been made in
accordance with generally accepted accounting practices.

          (l) Except as set forth in Schedule  5.30(l),  the consummation of the
transactions  contemplated by this Agreement will not (i) entitle any current or
former   employee,   officer  or  consultant  of  a  Seller  to  severance  pay,
unemployment compensation or any other similar payment, (ii) accelerate the time
of payment or vesting under any Employee Benefit Plan, (iii) increase the amount
of compensation due any such employee,  officer or consultant,  (iv) directly or
indirectly  cause a Seller  to  transfer  or set  aside  any  assets  to fund or
otherwise  provide for the  benefits  under any  Employee  Benefit  Plan for any
current or former employee, officer or director, or (v) result in any non-exempt
prohibited transaction described in ERISA Section 406 or Code Section 4975.

          (m) No  statement,  either  oral or  written,  has been made by either
Seller  to  anyone  with  regard to any  Employee  Benefit  Plan that was not in
accordance with such Plan which could have an adverse economic consequence for a
Seller or Purchaser.

     5.31  INSOLVENCY.  Neither  Seller is a party (other than as a creditor) to
any pending insolvency proceeding of any nature, including,  without limitation,
bankruptcy,  receivership,   reorganization,  composition  or  arrangement  with
creditors,  voluntary or involuntary, and neither Seller has made any assignment
for the benefit of creditors, or taken any action with a view to, or which would
constitute  the basis for, the  institution  of any such  insolvency  proceeding
against it.

     5.32  RELATIONSHIP  WITH RELATED  PERSONS.  Except as disclosed in Schedule
5.32, no officer,  director or employee of a Seller or any Controlled  Person of
any of them has, or since  January 1, 1999 has had, any interest in any property
(whether real, personal,  or mixed and whether tangible or intangible),  used in
or pertaining to the CSG Business. No officer,  director or employee of a Seller
or any  Controlled  Person of any of them  owns,  or since  January  1, 1999 has
owned,  of record or as a  beneficial  owner,  an equity  interest  or any other
financial  or profit  interest in any person or entity that (a) has had business

                                       31
<PAGE>
the provisions of (b) above shall not apply to the Outside Directors.  Except as

Controlled  Person of any of them is a party to any  contract  or  understanding
with, or has any claim or right  against,  either  Seller  pertaining to the CSG
Business.

     5.33  DISCLOSURE.  Sellers have disclosed to Purchaser all facts which,  to
the Knowledge of Sellers,  are material to the condition,  assets,  liabilities,
businesses,  operations and prospects of the Acquired Assets. No representations

the  Closing  contemplated  hereby  or (b) the  termination  of this  Agreement,
Sellers shall not,  directly or  indirectly,  solicit or entertain  offers from,

action,  assessments,   losses,  damages,   liabilities,   costs  and  expenses,

of either Seller contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement.

                                       37
<PAGE>
          (b)  Purchaser  and SpartaCom  hereby  jointly and severally  agree to
indemnify,  defend and hold  harmless  Sellers,  and each  affiliate,  director,
officer,  employee  or agent of either  Seller,  from and  against  all  Damages
asserted  against or imposed  upon or incurred by  Sellers,  or any  subsidiary,
affiliate, director, officer, employee or agent of either Seller, resulting from
a breach of any  representation,  warranty or covenant of Purchaser or SpartaCom
contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement.

     11.04 LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION. Indemnification under this Article XI
shall be subject to the  following  limitations:  (a) the  provisions of Section
11.03 (a) or (b), as they relate to breaches of  representations  or warranties,
shall be effective only if the aggregate amount of all Damages for which a party
required to indemnify  ("Indemnitor")  under either Section 11.03 (a) or (b), as
the case may be, shall be liable under this Article XI exceeds $20,000, in which
case the Indemnitor shall be liable for the full amount of such Damages; and (b)
in no event shall the  Sellers'  aggregate  liability  under this Article XI for
breaches of representations and warranties exceed $2,000,000. The limitations in
this  Section   11.04  shall  not  apply  to  the  extent  the  claim  for  such
indemnification arises or results from fraud.

     11.05  INDEMNIFICATION  FOR CLAIMS.  The obligations and liabilities of the
Indemnitor  to the party to whom an  indemnity is owed (the  "Indemnitee")  with
respect to claims for Damages resulting from the assertion of liability by third
parties ("Claims"), shall be subject to the following terms:

          (a)  Indemnitee  will  give  Indemnitor  prompt  notice  of any  Claim
asserted  against or imposed upon or incurred by Indemnitee,  and the Indemnitor
shall  undertake  the defense  thereof by  representatives  of its own choosing.
Failure by Indemnitee  to give any such notice shall not affect the  obligations
of  Indemnitor  to indemnify  hereunder,  except to the extent that such failure
shall result in any prejudice to Indemnitor.

          (b) In the event  that  Indemnitor,  within a  reasonable  time  after
notice of any such Claim, fails to defend Indemnitee, then Indemnitee will (upon
further  notice  to  Indemnitor)  have  the  right  to  undertake  the  defense,
compromise  or  settlement  of such  Claim for the  account  of the  Indemnitor,
subject to the right  thereof  to assume  the  defense of such Claim at any time
prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof.

          (c)  Anything in this Section  11.05 to the contrary  notwithstanding,
(i) if  there  is a  reasonable  probability  that a Claim  may  materially  and
adversely affect Indemnitee, then Indemnitee shall have the right to defend such
Claim,  but shall not  compromise  or settle  such Claim  without the consent of
Indemnitor,  which  consent  shall  not be  unreasonably  withheld,  delayed  or
conditioned,  and (ii) Indemnitor shall not, without  Indemnitee's prior written
consent,  settle or  compromise  any Claim or consent  to entry of any  judgment
which does not  include as an  unconditional  term  thereof  the  release by the
claimant or the  plaintiff of  Indemnitee  from all liability in respect of such
Claim.

                                       38
<PAGE>
          (d) If  Indemnitor  assumes  the  defense  of a Claim,  (i) it will be
conclusively  established  for purposes of this  Agreement  that  Indemnitee  is
entitled to  indemnification  pursuant to this  Article XI with  respect to that
Claim;  and (ii) no  compromise  or  settlement of such Claim may be effected by
Indemnitor  without  Indemnitee's  prior written  consent unless (A) there is no
finding or admission  of any  violation of law or of the rights of any person by
Indemnitee and no effect on any other claims that may be made by Indemnitee, and
(B) the  sole  relief  provided  is  monetary  damages  that are paid in full by
Indemnitor.

     11.06 PAYMENT OF DAMAGES.  Payment or reimbursement of any Damages incurred
by an Indemnitee shall be made upon  Indemnitee's  demand therefor,  except that
payment of any Damages  relating to a Claim shall be made by Indemnitor no later
than the time that such  Damages  are  required  to be  satisfied.  Sellers  and
Purchaser  mutually agree that any payment or  reimbursement  of Damages made by
one  party to the other  pursuant  to this  Article  XI shall be  treated  as an
adjustment  to the  purchase  price,  and shall be accounted as such for all tax
purposes.

     11.07 INDEMNIFICATION IN CASE OF STRICT LIABILITY OR INDEMNITEE NEGLIGENCE.
THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED IN SECTION 4.01 HEREOF AND IN THIS ARTICLE XI SHALL
BE  APPLICABLE  WHETHER  OR NOT  THE  SOLE OR  CONCURRENT  NEGLIGENCE  OR  GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE, OR THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED
ON THE INDEMNITEE,  OR THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT  LIABILITY IMPOSED  VICARIOUSLY ON
THE INDEMNITEE, IS ALLEGED OR PROVEN.

     11.08  REMEDY  EXCLUSIVE.  The remedies  for breach of  representations  or
warranties  under this Article XI shall be exclusive of any other  remedies that
the  parties  may  have  in law or  equity  for  breach  of  representations  or
warranties.

     12.01   TERMINATION.   Anything   in  this   Agreement   to  the   contrary
notwithstanding:

          (a) Mutual  Consent.  This  Agreement  may be terminated by the mutual
written consent of the parties hereto.

          (b) Default.  In the event that a party hereto shall,  contrary to the
terms  of  this  Agreement,  intentionally  fail or  refuse  to  consummate  the
transactions  contemplated herein or to take any other action referred to herein
necessary  to  consummate  the  transactions   contemplated   herein,  then  the
non-defaulting party, after affording the defaulting party a 10-day period after

addition to the other rights specified in Section 12.02 below, to terminate this
Agreement by written notice given to the other party hereto.

<PAGE>
          (c) Upset Date. The parties shall use their best efforts to consummate
promptly the  transactions  contemplated  hereby.  In the event that the Closing
shall not have occurred on or prior to August 30, 2000,  then,  unless otherwise
agreed to in writing between the parties hereto,  this Agreement shall terminate
on or following such date (as such date may be postponed pursuant hereto),  upon
written  notice  given by one party to the  other,  unless  the  absence of such
occurrence  shall be due to the  failure  or  refusal  of the party  seeking  to
terminate this Agreement of the type described in Section 12.01(b).

          (d) Legal  Restraint.  Either  Sellers or  Purchaser  may,  by written
notice to the other party,  terminate  this Agreement if at the time the written
notice of  termination  is given,  there is in effect a preliminary or permanent
injunction enjoining consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

     12.02 REMEDIES.

          (a)  Specific  Performance.  Subject to  compliance  with the terms of
Section 12.02(d) hereof,  any party desiring to proceed with the Closing despite
any  failure or  refusal  of the other  party  hereto of the type  described  in
Section  12.01(b)  hereof  shall have the right to pursue the remedy of specific
performance.

          (b) Damages.  Subject to compliance with the terms of Section 12.02(d)
hereof, any party terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.01(b) hereof
shall,  if the  failure  or  refusal  referred  to in  Section  12.01(b)  hereof
constituted  a  material  breach  of this  Agreement,  have the right to sue for
damages and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses theretofore suffered
and  sustained by the  non-defaulting  party;  provided,  that no party shall be
liable to the other for special,  consequential or punitive damages by reason of
such breach.

          (c) Effect of  Termination.  Except as set forth in  Section  12.02(b)
above,  any  termination  of this  Agreement  by any party hereto shall have the
effect of causing  this  Agreement  to  thereupon  become void and of no further
force or effect whatsoever,  and thereupon no party hereto will have any rights,
duties,  liabilities or obligations of any kind or nature whatsoever against any
other  party  hereto  based  upon  either  this  Agreement  or the  transactions
contemplated  hereby,  except in each case the obligations of each party for its
own expenses  incurred in connection with the transactions  contemplated by this
Agreement as provided in Section  13.04 and the  obligations  of each party with
respect to confidentiality set forth in Section 8.02 hereof.

                                       40

          (d) Cure Period.  Any party seeking any form of relief  referred to in

relief,  afford the defaulting party hereto with a ten (10)-day period to effect
reasonable cure of such breach or default.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     13.01 COMMISSIONS AND FINDER'S FEES.  Except as otherwise  provided herein,
each party represents that the  negotiations  relative to this Agreement and the
transactions  contemplated  hereby have been carried on by Sellers directly with
Purchaser  in such  manner as not to give rise to any claims  against  any party
hereto for a brokerage commission,  finder's fee or other like payment.  Insofar
as any such  claims are made which are  alleged to be based on an  agreement  or
arrangements  made by, or on behalf of, a party,  such party agrees to indemnify
and hold the other party  harmless from and against all liability,  loss,  cost,
charge or expense,  including  reasonable counsel fees,  arising therefrom.  Any
fees payable to Tucker  Anthony  Cleary Gull shall be solely the  responsible of
Sellers.

may be amended,  modified and  supplemented by written  agreement of the parties
hereto with respect to any of the terms contained herein.

     13.03 WAIVER OF  COMPLIANCE.  The rights and remedies of the parties  under
this  Agreement  are  cumulative  and not  exclusive.  Any failure by Sellers or
Purchaser to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein
may be  expressly  waived in writing  by the other  party or  parties,  but such
waiver or  failure  to  insist  upon  strict  compliance  with such  obligation,
covenant,  agreement or condition  shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel
with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

     13.04  EXPENSES.  Each party hereto will pay the expenses  incurred by such
party or on such  party's  behalf  in  connection  with  this  Agreement  or any
transaction  contemplated  by this  Agreement,  whether or not such  transaction
shall be consummated,  including,  without limitation,  all fees of its counsel.
Sellers  shall bear the expense of any transfer tax or sales tax  applicable  to
the transactions contemplated hereby.

     13.05  NOTICES.  All notices,  requests,  demands and other  communications

together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

     13.09 EFFECTIVENESS;  BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall become effective
as to each  party  hereto  when and only when  this  Agreement  shall  have been
executed by such party; provided, however, that this Agreement shall be null and
