        SECTION 1.3     PURCHASE PRICE.

                (a)     The initial  consideration  for the Assets (the "INITIAL
         PURCHASE  PRICE") will be Six Million and No/100  Dollars  ($6,000,000)
         wherein  the Initial  Purchase  Price  shall  include:  (i) cash in the
         amount  of Three  Million  Six  Hundred  Thousand  and  No/100  Dollars
         ($3,600,000);  (ii) a promissory  note in the principal  amount of Four
         Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($400,000),  in the form of EXHIBIT
         B (the "PROMISSORY NOTE");  (iii) such number of shares of Buyer Common
         Stock which equals Two Million and No/100 Dollars  ($2,000,000) ("STOCK
         PORTION"),  as such Stock  Portion is  determined  in  accordance  with
         SECTION 1.3(D); and (iv) the assumption of the Assumed  Liabilities (as
         defined in SECTION 1.4 below); PROVIDED,  HOWEVER, (a) there shall be a
         dollar-for-dollar increase adjustment to the Initial Purchase Price, if
         at the Closing  Date,  the sum of (x) the Accounts  Receivable  and (y)
         Deposits and Prepayments  exceeds the sum of (1) the amount outstanding
         under  Seller's  Bank Line of Credit as of the  Closing  Date,  (2) the
         Trade Accounts Payable and (3) Accrued Expenses,  or (b) there shall be

         and (z) Accrued Expenses exceeds the sum of (1) the Accounts Receivable
         and (2) Deposits and Prepayments. Such adjustment shall be equal to the
         amount of excess,  and shall be paid to either Seller,  in cash, if the
         excess  increases the Initial  Purchase Price or Buyer, in cash, if the
         excess  decreases the Initial  Purchase Price, as applicable as part of
         the  Initial  Purchase  Price  within  ninety (90) days  following  the

         Buyer shall  relinquish all of its rights with respect to such Accounts
         Receivable,  provided that if such Account  Receivable  was included in
         the Closing Date Statement (defined below) then such Account Receivable
         was not included in the True-Up  Statement.  Seller shall have the sole
         right to any amounts  collected by Seller with respect to such Accounts
         Receivable returned to Seller by Buyer.

                (b)     Seller  shall  prepare a closing  date  statement  which
         contains  estimates  only and  which  estimates  shall  be  based  upon
         Seller's  books and records as of the close of business on the business
         day   immediately   preceding  the  Closing  Date  (the  "CLOSING  DATE
         STATEMENT"),  which shall be in the form of EXHIBIT  A-1,  and shall be
         delivered at Closing.  On or before  ninety (90) days after the Closing
         Date,  Seller shall prepare a True-up  Statement,  substantially in the
         form of EXHIBIT A, in order to calculate the Purchase Price Adjustment,
         if any, to the Initial Purchase Price.

                (c)     In accordance with SECTION 1.7(B),  at the Closing,  the
         Initial Purchase Price shall be delivered by Buyer to Seller and Escrow
         Agent,  as  follows:  (i) the  payment  of Three  Million  Six  Hundred
         Thousand and No/100 Dollars  ($3,600,000)  shall be delivered to Seller
         by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified
         by Seller; (ii) the Promissory Note shall be delivered to Seller; (iii)
         stock  certificates  representing  such  number  of shares of the Buyer
         Common Stock determined in accordance with SECTION 1.3(D), which shares
         of Buyer  Common  Stock shall have a value  equal to One Million  Eight
         Hundred  Thousand and No/100 Dollars  ($1,800,000)  (the "CLOSING STOCK
         PAYMENT")  shall be  delivered to Seller;  and (iv) stock  certificates
         representing such number of shares of the Buyer Common Stock determined
         in accordance with SECTION  1.3(D),  which shares of Buyer Common Stock
         shall have a value equal to Two  Hundred  Thousand  and No/100  Dollars
         ($200,000)  (the  "ESCROWED  STOCK")  shall be  delivered to the Escrow
         Agent and held by the Escrow  Agent  pursuant to the Escrow  Agreement.
         The  Promissory  Note shall be paid,  and the  Escrowed  Stock shall be
         released,  in accordance  with the terms of the Promissory Note and the
         Escrow Agreement, respectively.

                (d)     The number of shares of Buyer  Common  Stock  comprising
         the Stock Portion shall be equal to the number of shares resulting from
         $2,000,000  divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share  (which  thirty
         (30) trading day period referenced in the definition of the Fair Market
         Value of a Share  shall end at the close of business on the trading day
         immediately preceding the Closing Date).

                (e)     As set  forth in more  detail  below,  Buyer  shall  pay
         additional  consideration to Seller if Seller Division achieves certain
         revenue goals  subsequent to the Closing Date (the  "EARNOUT") and said
         amount of the Earnout shall be included as part of the purchase price.

                                      -4-

                        (i)   For the  twelve  (12) month  periods  ended on the
                  first,  second,  third and fourth anniversaries of the Closing
                  Date (the "EARNOUT  PERIOD"),  Seller shall be paid an Earnout
                  in such  amounts  upon the  meeting of such  targets by Seller
                  Division during each twelve (12) month period, as set forth on
                  EXHIBIT C hereto  setting forth the Earnout  calculation.  The
                  Earnout shall be limited to a cumulative amount of $15,400,000
                  (the "MAXIMUM  EARNOUT  Amount") during the Earnout Period and
                  subject to SECTIONS 1.3(E)(III) - (IV), below. Notwithstanding
                  the foregoing,  for a period of twelve (12) months immediately
                  following the Closing Date,  the first $400,000 of the Earnout
                  shall be subject to offset for any  unrecorded or  undisclosed
                  liabilities  or claims of Seller  paid by Buyer as a result of
                  this  transaction  (the  "$400,000  OFFSET") if the Promissory
                  Note and the  Escrowed  Stock are  insufficient  to cover such
                  claims.

                        (ii)  During the Earnout  Period,  the Earnout  shall be
                  paid by Buyer to Seller  within sixty (60) days of the date of
                  the respective anniversary of the Closing Date as follows:

                              (A) the first  $4,000,000  of the Earnout shall be
                  paid in cash; and

                              (B) the remainder of the Earnout shall be paid 50%
                  in cash and 50% in shares of Buyer Common Stock (which  number
                  of shares  shall be  calculated  by dividing  the total amount
                  payable of the Earnout in shares of Buyer  Common Stock by the
                  Fair Market Value of a Share which shall be  determined on the
                  last day of the last month of the twelve (12) month  period in
                  which the Earnout is earned).

                        (iii) The  following  forms of revenue shall be included
                  in the calculation of revenue targets of the Earnout set forth
                  in EXHIBIT C:

                              (A) any  revenue  with a Gross  Margin of at least
                  50% that is generated by Seller Division which is attributable
                  to Seller's historical lines of business and operations;

                              (B)  any  revenue  generated  from  any  "tuck-in"
                  acquisition or other acquisition by Seller Division,  provided
                  such  revenue  exceeds a 50%  Gross  Margin  and such  revenue
                  exceeds the baseline revenue used for determining the purchase
                  price of such "tuck-in" acquisition; and

                              (C)  any  revenue  generated  by  Buyer  or  other
                  divisions  of Buyer which are  attributable  to  introductions
                  made by Seller  Division  or  employees  or advisors of Seller
                  Division, provided such revenues exceed a 50% Gross Margin.

                        (iv)  The  Earnout  payable by Buyer to Seller  shall be
                  modified if the following events occur:

                              (A) If the Witt  Employment  Agreement (as defined
                  in SECTION 1.7(A)(VI) below) is terminated in case of death or
                  disability, or is terminated by Buyer or its affiliate without
                  Cause  (as  such  term  is  defined  in  the  Witt  Employment

                                      -5-

                  Agreement),  or by Witt  for  Good  Reason  (as  such  term is
                  defined in the Witt Employment  Agreement) any time during the
                  Earnout  Period,  the Earnout shall  continue to accrue and be
                  paid for a period of twelve  (12) months from the date of such
                  termination,  if such Earnout is earned.  The Earnout shall be
                  paid in accordance with SECTION 1.3(E)(II); PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
                  that if the twelve (12) months  following such  termination do
                  not elapse on an  anniversary  of the Closing  Date,  then the
                  portion of the Earnout which accrues following the anniversary
                  shall be paid within  thirty (30) days of the  anniversary  of
                  the date of termination of the Witt Employment Agreement;

                              (B)  If  Witt   terminates  the  Witt   Employment
                  Agreement  without  Good  Reason,   the  Earnout  shall  cease

obtain  consent to  assignment of any agreement or contract from any other party
identified  on SCHEDULE  2.2(C)  (collectively,  the  "NON-MATERIAL  CONSENTS").
Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary in this Agreement,  if any Pre-Closing

                                      -9-

Closing,  this  Agreement  will not  constitute an assignment or an agreement to
assign if such assignment or attempted  assignment  would constitute a breach of
the underlying  agreement,  contract or Government  Authorization or result in a
loss or diminution related thereto; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that with respect to each
Non-Material  Consent and  Pre-Closing  Consent not  obtained  prior to Closing,
Seller shall take commercially reasonable steps after the Closing to obtain such
Pre-Closing  Consents and  Non-Material  Consents.  Buyer shall  cooperate  with

designed to provide for Buyer the benefits of the underlying agreement, contract
or Governmental Authorizations,  including, without limitation, the enforcement,
for the account and  benefit of Buyer,  of any and all rights of Seller  against
any  other  Person  with  respect  to such  underlying  agreement,  contract  or
Governmental Authorization, and Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any liabilities
or expenses incurred by Seller relating to such underlying  agreement,  contract
or Governmental Authorization during such period.

                    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

        Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date hereof and as of

organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware,  with the requisite  limited  liability company power and authority to
conduct its business as it is now being conducted,  to own or use its properties

duly  qualified to do business as a foreign  entity under the laws of each state
or other  jurisdiction set forth in SCHEDULE 2.1(A).  Seller is in good standing

delivery by Seller of each of the documents and  instruments  to be executed and

                                      -10-

delivered by Seller at Closing  pursuant to SECTION  1.7(A)  (collectively,  the
"SELLER'S  CLOSING   DOCUMENTS"),   each  of  Seller's  Closing  Documents  will

requisite  limited  liability  company  and power to execute  and  deliver  this
Agreement and Seller's  Closing  Documents and to perform its obligations  under

                        (b)     Except as set forth in SCHEDULE  2.2(B),  to the
best of Seller's knowledge, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement
nor the  consummation  or  performance of any of the  transactions  contemplated
hereby will (with or without notice or lapse of time): (i) contravene,  conflict
with,  or  result  in a  violation  of any  provision  of  any of the  Governing
Documents of Seller, (ii) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of
any Legal  Requirement  (as  defined  in  SECTION  2.11(A)  below)  (except  for
contraventions,  conflicts or violations that would not have a material  adverse
impact on the Assets or the  Business)  or Order (as defined in SECTION  2.12(B)
below)  of any court or  governmental  authority  to which  Seller or any of the

Permitted  Encumbrance)  upon any of the Assets under, or cancel,  or terminate,
any  contract  to which  Seller is a party or by which  Seller or the Assets are
bound  (except  to the  extent  any of the  foregoing  would not have a material
adverse impact on the Assets or the Business).

audited financial  statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December

independent  certified public  accountant must provide its consent to the use of

manner presently operated by Seller.

        SECTION 2.6     REAL  PROPERTY  LEASES.  SCHEDULE  1.1(A) sets forth all
leases of Real Property to which Seller is a party (the "LEASES").  Complete and

full force and effect, and to Seller's knowledge, are binding and enforceable on
each of the parties thereto in accordance with their respective terms (except as
limited by  Enforceability  Limitations),  and have not been amended or modified
since  the date of  delivery  to Buyer.  No party to any Lease has sent  written
notice to the other  claiming  that such party is in default  thereunder,  which
alleged default remains uncured.  Seller's possession and quiet enjoyment of any
Real Property have not been materially disturbed.

        SECTION  2.8    TAXES.  Seller has timely filed all material  income tax
returns  that it was required to file,  and has paid all  material  income taxes
shown  thereon as due. To Seller's  knowledge,  all such income tax returns were
true and complete in all material respects.  There are no Encumbrances for taxes
on any of the Assets, other than Permitted Encumbrances.  To Seller's knowledge,
all material taxes that Seller was required by Legal  Requirements  to withhold,
deduct or collect,  and pay over have been duly withheld,  deducted or collected
and,  to  the  extent  required,  have  been  paid  to the  proper  governmental
authority.

        SECTION 2.9     EMPLOYEES.  SCHEDULE  2.9  sets  forth  a  complete  and
accurate list,  giving name, job title,  current  compensation  paid or payable,

no  Employee  of Seller is bound by (a) any  employment  or similar  contract or
agreement with Seller, or (b) to Seller's  knowledge,  any contract or agreement
that  purports to limit or restrict the ability of such  Employee to (i) perform

practice relating to Seller's business.

         SECTION 2.10   EMPLOYEE  BENEFITS.  SCHEDULE 2.10 sets forth all plans,
programs,  or  arrangements  that Seller has  maintained,  adopted or  obligated
itself  under  with  respect  to  employees'  benefits,   including  pension  or
retirement  plans,  medical  or  dental  plans,  life  or  long-term  disability
insurance, bonus or incentive compensation, stock option or equity participation
plans (the "EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS"). Seller has no liability or obligation with
respect to any Employee under any Employee Benefit Plan other than normal salary
or wage  accruals  and  paid  vacation,  sick  leave  and  holiday  accruals  in
accordance  with  Seller's  past  practice and policy.  Seller has performed all
obligations  required to be performed  under,  and has  complied  with all Legal
Requirements in connection  with, all such Employee  Benefit Plans and is not in
arrears under any of the terms thereof.

        SECTION 2.11    COMPLIANCE   WITH   LEGAL   REQUIREMENTS,   GOVERNMENTAL
AUTHORIZATIONS.

                (a)     To Seller's knowledge, Seller is, and at all times since
January 1, 2004,  has been,  in  compliance  in all material  respects  with any
federal, state, or local law, ordinance or regulation (including with respect to
environmental,  disposal of hazardous substances, or public health or safety) (a
"LEGAL  REQUIREMENT"),  applicable to the operation of the Business as currently
conducted or the ownership or use of any of the Assets, except where the failure
to so comply would not have a material  adverse effect on the Assets (taken as a
whole) or the Business.

                (b)     SCHEDULE 1.1(E) contains a complete and accurate list of
all Novations,  approvals,  licenses or permits that are necessary for Seller to
lawfully conduct the Business as currently conducted and to permit Seller to own
and use the Assets in the manner in which it currently  owns and uses the Assets
(the "GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORIZATIONS"), except where the failure to so possess such

                (a)     Effective  immediately  before the Closing Date,  Seller
shall  terminate  the  employment of all of its Employees and shall release such
Employees from the provisions of any  restrictive  covenants  and/or  agreements
with  Seller  with  respect  to  Buyer so as to  enable  Buyer  to  employ  such
individuals.  Buyer  shall  offer  employment  to  all  of  the  Employees  (the
"AVAILABLE  EMPLOYEES")  following  the  Closing  at the same  base  salary  and
incentive  bonus  arrangements,  and the same or  substantially  the same  group
health  insurance and other benefits,  as each such Available  Employee has with
Seller,  which  Buyer  benefits  are  described  on SCHEDULE  8.1(A).  Available
Employees  shall  receive  credit for all of their service with Seller under all
welfare  and  benefit   plans   including   but  not  limited  to   eligibility,
participation,  vesting,  entitlement to benefits, and amount of benefits (other
than the accrual of benefits  under a defined  benefit  pension  plan).  Without
limiting the foregoing,  Buyer covenants and agrees that any Available  Employee
who is an Employee of Seller as of the Closing Date,  shall be entitled to three
(3) weeks of vacation per year for each year following such Available Employee's
first  anniversary of such Employee's hire date with Seller until such Available
Employee  should be entitled  to more than three (3) weeks of vacation  per year
under Buyer's vacation plan and/or policy. No pre-existing  condition limitation
or  exclusion  shall apply to  participation  and  coverage  for such  Available
Employees under a group welfare or health benefit plan.

                (b)     It is  understood  and  agreed  that  (i) any  offer  of
employment  made by  Buyer  as  referenced  in  SECTION  8.1(A)  above  will not
constitute any commitment,  contract or understanding  (expressed or implied) of
any  obligation  on  the  part  of  Buyer  to  a  post-Closing  Date  employment
relationship of any fixed term or duration or upon any terms or conditions other
than those that Buyer may establish  pursuant to individual offers of employment
consistent with the terms herein;  and (ii)  employment  offered by Buyer is "at
will" and may be terminated by Buyer or by an employee at anytime for any reason
(subject to any written commitments to the contrary made by Buyer).

                (c)     Seller will be responsible  for the payment of all wages
and other  remuneration  due to its Employees  with respect to their services as
employees of Seller  through the close of business on the Closing  Date.  Seller
will be liable  for any  claims  made or  incurred  by the  Employees  and their
beneficiaries  under the Employee Benefit Plans prior to the Closing,  and Buyer
will not have any responsibility,  liability or obligation,  to the Employees or
to any other Person with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan.

                (d)     Employees and their eligible dependents who experience a
"qualifying  event" (as defined in Code  section  4980B) on or after the Closing
Date  shall  be  eligible  to  elect  health  plan  continuation   coverage  the
Consolidated  Omnibus Budget  Reconciliation  Act of  1985(COBRA)  under Buyer's
group health plan. Employees of the Seller and their eligible dependents who are
either (i) receiving  COBRA  continuation  coverage  under Seller's group health
plan prior to the Closing  Date or (ii) do whom Buyer does not offer  employment

                                      -22-

and who  experience a "qualifying  event" as defined in Code section 4980B shall
be eligible to elect COBRA  continuation  coverage  under  Seller's group health
plan.

        SECTION 8.2     PAYMENT OF TAXES  RESULTING FROM SALE OF ASSETS.  Seller
shall pay in a timely manner all taxes (other than income  taxes)  imposed on it
resulting from or payable in connection  with the sale of the Assets pursuant to
this Agreement.

        SECTION 8.3     PAYMENT OF OTHER  RETAINED  LIABILITIES.  In addition to
payment of taxes  pursuant to SECTION 8.2,  Seller  shall pay, or make  adequate
provision for the payment,  in full of all of the Retained  Liabilities.  If any
such  Retained  Liabilities  are  not so  paid  or  provided  for,  or if  Buyer
reasonably  determines that failure to make any payments will impair Buyer's use
or  enjoyment  of the  Assets or conduct of the  business  of Seller  previously
conducted  using the Assets,  Buyer may at any time after the Closing Date elect
to make all such  payments  directly  or through  the escrow  (but shall have no
obligation to do so) and will be promptly reimbursed therefor by Seller.

        SECTION 8.4     COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE.

                (a)     In  consideration  of the Purchase  Price to be received
under this Agreement,  Seller agrees that, for a period of three (3) years after
the  Closing  Date,  Seller  shall not  directly  or  indirectly,  do any of the
following:

                        (i)     engage in, or invest in, own,  manage,  operate,
finance,  control,  be employed by,  associated with or in any manner  connected
with,  or render  services  or advice to, any Person  engaged in or  planning to
become engaged in, or any other business whose products or activities compete in
whole or in part with,  the  business of Buyer,  or any  business  carried on by
Buyer utilizing the Assets, anywhere within the continental United States;

                        (ii)    induce or  attempt  to induce  any  employee  of
Buyer to leave the employ of Buyer, or solicit,  offer  employment to, otherwise
attempt  to hire,  employ,  or  otherwise  engage  as an  employee,  independent
contractor, or otherwise, any such employee of Buyer; or

                        (iii)   induce or attempt to induce any Person  that was
a  customer  or  client  of  Buyer at any time  during  the one (1) year  period
preceding  the Closing  Date to cease  doing  business  with  Buyer,  in any way
interfere with the  relationship  between Buyer and any such customer or client,
or solicit the business of any such customer or client.

                (b)     Seller acknowledges that all of the foregoing provisions
are reasonable and are necessary to protect and preserve the value of the Assets
and to prevent any unfair  advantage  being  conferred on Seller.  If any of the
covenants set forth in this SECTION 8.4 are held to be unreasonable,  arbitrary,
or against public policy,  the restrictive  time period will be deemed to be the
longest period  permissible by law under the  circumstances  and the restrictive
geographical area will be deemed to comprise the largest  territory  permissible
by law under the circumstances.

                                      -23-

        SECTION 8.5     SATISFACTION OF RETAINED LIABILITIES. After the Closing,
Seller  shall  satisfy  the  Retained  Liabilities  in a  manner  which  is  not
materially detrimental to the Business and the Assets.

        SECTION 8.6     RETENTION AND ACCESS TO RECORDS. After the Closing Date,
Buyer  shall  retain  for a period of seven (7) years  those  records  of Seller
delivered to Buyer. Buyer also shall provide Seller,  Seller's  representatives,
Seller's  members and  representatives  of the members of Seller access thereto,
during  normal  business  hours and on at least  three (3) days'  prior  written
notice,  to enable them to prepare  financial  statements or tax returns or deal
with tax  audits or for any  purpose  associated  with any Seller  Contracts  as
required  thereunder.  After the Closing  Date,  Seller shall  provide Buyer and
Buyer's  representatives  reasonable access to records that are Excluded Assets,
(except  for  membership  records and the  Governing  Documents)  during  normal
business  hours and on at least three (3) days' prior  written  notice,  for any
reasonable business purpose specified by Buyer in such notice. After the Closing
Date,  Buyer shall notify Seller if it becomes aware of any alleged  breach of a
Seller Contract that occurred prior to the Closing Date.

        SECTION 8.7     CHANGE OF NAME.  Within  thirty (30) days  following the
Closing Date,  Seller shall take all actions  necessary to amend its certificate
of organization and change its name to one  sufficiently  dissimilar to Seller's
present name to avoid confusion.

        SECTION 8.8     UPDATING ACCOUNTS  RECEIVABLE.  Seller shall prepare and
deliver to Buyer a revised SCHEDULE 1.1(C) showing actual Accounts Receivable as

assumed by Buyer at the Closing.

        SECTION 8.9     POST-CLOSING OPERATIONS OF SELLER DIVISION.

                (a)     During the period from the date of the  Closing  through

liabilities  as shall be  acquired  or  incurred,  as the case may be, by Seller
Division in the Ordinary  Course of Business of Seller or with the prior written
consent of Witt and which consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld or delayed
(such assets and liabilities collectively,  respectively, the "OTHER ASSETS" and
"OTHER LIABILITIES");

                        (iv)    Carry  on  and  maintain  the  Business  in  the
Ordinary  Course of Business of Seller and in  substantially  the same manner as

intact, the relationships with its customers and employees;

                        (v)     Maintain its  corporate  existence in full force
and  effect  and good  standing  in each  jurisdiction  where the  nature of the

                (b)     Without   limiting  the  generality  of  SECTION
8.9(A) hereof and in  furtherance  and not in limitation  thereof,  Buyer shall,
during the Earnout Period:

                        (i)     Cause and/or permit Seller Division to engage in
only: (A) the Business;  and (B) such other and further  business lines to which

HOWEVER, the Seller Division must provide financial  information to the Buyer in
a timely manner; and

                                (B)     within  sixty (60) days  following  each

                        (viii)  Sell, lease, abandon, assign, transfer,  license
or otherwise  dispose of any of the Assets  constituting  a material  asset,  or

foregoing,  which has or may have a material  adverse effect on Seller  Division
Business, the financial condition of Seller Division, its assets or prospects;

                        (ix)    Amend,   modify   or   provide   for  the  early

                (d)     During  the  Earnout  Period,  if  there  is (i) a Buyer
Change  of  Control,  then  prior to the  consummation  of the  Buyer  Change of
Control,  the Buyer shall cause the successor to Buyer to execute and deliver to
Seller an  undertaking  covenanting  to perform any  obligations  of Buyer which
survive the Closing Date,  including  without  limitation,  Sections 1.3 and 8.9
(the "SUCCESSOR  UNDERTAKING"),  or (ii) a Buyer Private Change of Control, then

and such  Successor  Undertaking  shall  include an  additional  covenant  which

                (e)     If a  Triggering  Event shall  occur  during the Earnout
Period, then prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event, Buyer shall pay
to Seller the Remainder  Earnout  Amount,  if any. The Remainder  Earnout Amount
shall be determined by a Qualified  Appraiser(s) in accordance with this Section
8.9(e), as follows:

                        (i)     At  least   thirty   (30)  days   prior  to  the
consummation  of  a  Triggering  Event,   Buyer  shall  notify  Seller  of  such
prospective  Triggering Event.  Within ten (10) days of Seller's receipt of such
notice,  Seller and Buyer  shall  attempt  to  mutually  agree upon a  Qualified
Appraiser to determine  the  Remainder  Earnout  Amount  (including  any amounts
necessary  for the  calculation  thereof).  If Seller and Buyer cannot  mutually
agree upon a Qualified  Appraiser  by the end of such ten (10) day period,  then
Seller  and Buyer  shall  each  appoint,  by notice to the  other,  a  Qualified

                                      -27-

Appraiser within ten (10) days.  Within thirty (30) days after such appointment,
each Qualified Appraiser shall submit its determination of the Remainder Earnout
Payment to Seller  and  Buyer.  If either  party  fails to  appoint a  Qualified
Appraiser  within  the ten (10) day  period  described  above or if a  Qualified
Appraiser  so  appointed  fails to submit  its  determination  of the  Remainder
Earnout Payment within the required thirty (30) day period,  and if such failure
continues  for twenty  (20) days  after  notice of such  failure  from the other
party, the  fully-appointed  Qualified  Appraiser's timely  determination of the
Remainder  Earnout  Payment shall be deemed approved by each of Seller and Buyer
for all purposes.

                        (ii)    If two  Qualified  Appraisers  are appointed and
deliver  reports  in  timely  fashion  and if  the  Remainder  Earnout  Payments
determined by the Qualified  Appraisers  vary by 10% or less, the average of the
valuations  shall  be  deemed  approved  by each of  Seller  and  Buyer  for all
purposes.  If the two Remainder  Earnout Payments vary by more than 10%, the two
Qualified  Appraisers  shall select a third Qualified  Appraiser within fourteen
(14) days after delivery of their respective reports to Buyer and Seller. If the
two Qualified  Appraisers  are unable to agree upon the  appointment  of a third
Qualified  Appraiser  pursuant to this SECTION  8.9(E)(II)  within such fourteen
(14) day period,  either Seller or Buyer may, upon written  notice to the other,
request that such  appointment be made by a judge sitting for a state or federal
court of competent jurisdiction in New York.

                        (iii)   If all three Qualified  Appraisers  cannot agree
upon the  Remainder  Earnout  Payment  within  thirty  (30) days  following  the
selection of the third  Qualified  Appraiser  (which  agreed  Remainder  Earnout
Payment shall in no event be higher than the higher, or lower than the lower, of
the two previously  submitted  Remainder Earnout Payments),  the third Qualified
Appraiser shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, submit its determination as
to the Remainder  Earnout  Payment to the other two Qualified  Appraisers and to
Buyer and Seller in  writing,  and the  average of the two  numerically  closest
Remainder   Earnout  Payments  (or,  if  the  Remainder   Earnout  Payments  are
equidistant,  the  average of all three  Remainder  Earnout  Payments)  shall be
deemed approved by each of Buyer and Seller for all purposes.

                        (iv)    If any Qualified  Appraiser  appointed hereunder
resigns, refuses to perform or is unable to perform any obligation hereunder for
reasons  unrelated to the acts or omissions of the  appointing  party,  then the
party or  parties  appointing  such  Qualified  Appraiser  shall  have the right
unilaterally  to appoint a substitute  Qualified  Appraiser and the deadline for
the production of such Qualified  Appraiser's  report and  determination  of the
Remainder  Earnout  Payment  shall be subject to an  extension  of not more than
thirty (30) days.

                        (v)     In connection with any process  required by this
SECTION 8.9(E),  Buyer will provide the Qualified  Appraisers full access during
normal  business  hours to  examine  all  pertinent  books,  records  and files,
agreements and other documents. The fees and expenses of the Qualified Appraiser
or  Appraisers  shall be borne by Buyer.  In the event that a  Triggering  Event
shall occur prior to a final  determination of the Remainder  Earnout Payment in
accordance  with this SECTION 8.9(E) and the delivery of such Remainder  Earnout
Payment to Seller,  then prior to the  consummation  of such  Triggering  Event,
Buyer shall place into escrow a reasonable amount of money (as such amount shall
be reasonably  determined  by Buyer and shall be subject to Seller's  reasonable
approval),  in order to  secure  payment  to  Seller  of the  Remainder  Earnout
Payment.

                                      -28-

        SECTION 8.10    TREATMENT OF ACCRUED SICK LEAVE.  If  subsequent  to the
date of this  Agreement,  Buyer  assumes  or agrees to assume  sick leave of any
other  Person,  then Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the total cost
of accrued sick leave of Seller as of the Closing Date, as set forth on SCHEDULE
8.10. Buyer hereby  represents and warrants that through the date hereof,  Buyer
has not assumed any accrued liability with respect to sick leave of any Person.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                   TERMINATION

        SECTION 9.1     TERMINATION  EVENTS. This Agreement may be terminated by
written  notice  given  prior to or at the  Closing,  subject to SECTION  9.2 as
follows:

                (a)     by Buyer or Seller if a material breach of any provision
of this  Agreement has been committed by the other party and such breach has not
been waived by the non-breaching party;

                (b)     by Buyer if any  condition  in  Article  VI has not been
satisfied as of the date specified for Closing Date; or if  satisfaction of such
a  condition  by such date is or becomes  impossible  (other  than  through  the
failure of Buyer to comply with its obligations  under this Agreement) and Buyer
has not waived such condition on or before such date;

                (c)     by Seller,  if any condition in Article VII has not been
satisfied as of the date specified for Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a
condition by such date is or becomes  impossible (other than through the failure
of Seller to comply with its  obligations  under this  Agreement) and Seller has
not waived such condition on or before such date;

                (d)     by mutual consent of Buyer and Seller;

                (e)     by Seller, if Buyer has not received the funds necessary
to finance Buyer to consummate the transactions  contemplated by this Agreement;
or

                (f)     by Buyer or Seller if the Closing has not occurred on or
before  February  28,  2006  (provided  that such date  shall  automatically  be
extended, if necessary, to permit Seller sufficient time to deliver to Buyer the
audited financial  statements in a form which complies with Section 2.4 hereof),
or such later date as the parties may agree or as provided in this Agreement.

        SECTION 9.2     EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Each party's right of termination
under  SECTION  9.1 is in  addition  to any other  rights it may have under this
Agreement or otherwise,  and the exercise of such right of termination  will not
be an election of remedies.  If the Agreement is terminated  pursuant to SECTION
9.1, all obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate,  except
that the  obligations  of (a) the parties in this  SECTION 9.2; and (b) Buyer in
SECTION  9.3,  will  survive;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that  if this  Agreement  is
terminated because of a breach of this Agreement by the non-terminating party or
because one or more of the  conditions to the  terminating  party's  obligations
under this  Agreement  is not  satisfied  as a result of the party's  failure to

                                      -29-

comply with its obligations under this Agreement,  the terminating party's right
to pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired.

         SECTION 9.3 FINANCING  FEES. In the event this  Agreement is terminated
due to Buyer failing to accomplish the financing  contemplated in SECTION 3.5 or
Buyer  materially  breaches any term hereof on or before the Closing Date, Buyer
shall  immediately  pay to Seller an amount in cash equal to the total amount of
any out-of-pocket  expenses and third-party fees and expenses incurred by Seller
in  connection  with this  Agreement or the  transactions  contemplated  by this
Agreement, including all counsel fees and expenses, and all audit and accounting
fees and expenses  incurred in connection  with the  preparation  of the audited
financials statements, in an amount not to exceed $50,000.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         SECTION 10.1 SURVIVAL. All representations,  warranties, covenants, and
obligations  in  this  Agreement,   the  Schedules   attached  hereto,  and  the
certificates delivered pursuant to SECTION 1.7, will survive the Closing and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby for a period of twelve (12)
months,  except that (a) the  obligations  of Buyer under SECTION 1.3(E) survive
until the last Earnout payment is received by Seller following the expiration of
the Earnout Period,  unless the maximum amount of the Earnout is earned and paid
prior to such expiration, then at such date as the maximum amount of the Earnout
is paid to Seller,  and (b) the  obligations  of Seller and Buyer as  applicable
under  Article  VIII  shall  survive  until  such  covenants  are  fulfilled  in
accordance  with their terms.  Buyer is not aware of any facts or  circumstances
that would serve as the basis for a claim by Buyer  against  Seller based upon a
breach of any of the  representations and warranties of Seller contained in this
Agreement or breach by any of Seller's  covenants or  agreements to be performed
by any of them at or prior to  Closing.  Buyer will be deemed to have  waived in
full any breach of any of Seller's  representations  and warranties and any such
covenants and agreements of which Buyer has such awareness at the Closing.

         SECTION 10.2   INDEMNIFICATION  AND  REIMBURSEMENT  BY  SELLER.  Seller
shall  indemnify  and hold  harmless  Buyer,  and its  directors,  stockholders,
members,  partners,  employees,  representatives and agents  (collectively,  the
"BUYER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS"), and shall reimburse Buyer Indemnified Persons, for
any loss,  liability,  claim,  damage  (including  incidental and  consequential
damages),   or  expense  (including  costs  of  investigation  and  defense  and
reasonable  attorneys' fees and expenses) whether or not involving a third-party
claim (collectively,  "DAMAGES"),  arising,  directly or indirectly,  from or in
connection with:

                (a)     any breach of any  representation  or  warranty  made by
Seller in this Agreement,  or in any certificate of Seller delivered pursuant to
SECTION 1.7(A);

                (b)     any breach of any  covenant or  obligation  of Seller in
this Agreement; and

                (c)     any Retained Liabilities.

                                      -30-

        SECTION 10.3    INDEMNIFICATION  AND REIMBURSEMENT BY BUYER. Buyer shall
indemnify  and  hold  harmless  Seller  and its  directors,  members,  partners,
employees,  representatives  and agents  (collectively,  the "SELLER INDEMNIFIED
PERSONS")  and  shall  reimburse  Seller  Indemnified  Persons  for any  Damages
arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with:

                (a)     any breach of any  representation  or  warranty  made by
Buyer in this  Agreement or in any  certificate  or document  delivered by Buyer
pursuant to this Agreement;

                (b)     any breach of any  covenant  or  obligation  of Buyer in
this  Agreement or in any other  document,  writing or  instrument  delivered by
Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; and

                (c)     the Assumed Liabilities.

        SECTION 10.4    LIMITATIONS.

                (a)     Seller will have no  indemnification  liability  for the
breach of any  representation  or warranty set forth in Article II, unless on or
before the first  anniversary of the Closing Date,  Buyer  notifies  Seller of a
claim  specifying  the factual basis of that claim in  reasonable  detail to the
extent then known by Buyer;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that any claim with respect to
SECTION  2.8  taxes,  2.10  employee  benefits  or 2.11  only  with  respect  to
environmental  matters may be made at any time, subject to the applicable period
of statute of limitations.

                (b)     Buyer  will have no  indemnification  liability  for the
breach of any  representation or warranty set forth in Article III, unless on or
before the first  anniversary  of the Closing Date,  Seller  notifies Buyer of a
claim  specifying  the factual basis of that claim in  reasonable  detail to the
extent then known by Seller.

                (c)     Notwithstanding   anything  to  the  contrary  contained
herein,  except in the case of fraud,  neither  Buyer nor Seller  shall have any
liability for any amounts of Damages  exceeding  $1,000,000 in the aggregate for
all claims made by the other party under this Article X. In addition, the amount
of any  Damages of any Seller  Indemnified  Party shall be reduced by any amount
received  by such  Seller  Indemnified  Party  with  respect  thereto  under any
insurance coverage. Likewise, the amount of any Damages of any Buyer Indemnified
Party shall be reduced by any amount  received by such Buyer  Indemnified  Party
with respect thereto under any insurance coverage. Such Seller Indemnified Party
or Buyer  Indemnified  Party, as applicable,  shall use commercially  reasonable
efforts to collect any amounts  available  under such insurance  coverage.  If a
Seller Indemnified Party or a Buyer Indemnified  Party, as applicable,  receives
an amount under insurance coverage at any time subsequent to any indemnification
provided by Buyer or Seller, as applicable,  then such Seller  Indemnified Party
or Buyer  Indemnified  Party, as applicable,  shall promptly  reimburse Buyer or
Seller,  as  applicable,  for any payment  made or expense  incurred by Buyer or
Seller, as applicable, in connection with providing such indemnification,  up to
such  amount  received  by such Seller  Indemnified  Party or Buyer  Indemnified
Party,  as  applicable,  but  net  of  any  expenses  incurred  by  such  Seller
Indemnified Party or Buyer Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.

                                      -31-

                (d)     The Promissory Note, the Escrowed  Shares,  and $400,000
Offset  (collectively,  the  "INDEMNITY  FUNDS"),  shall  be the  sole  recourse
available to Buyer  Indemnified  Parties for any claims under ARTICLE X, and any
obligation of Seller to compensate any Buyer  Indemnified  Party for any Damages
shall be satisfied in Indemnity Funds;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that nothing herein
shall limit the  remedies  that Buyer  Indemnified  Parties may have for Damages
based on fraud.  In  furtherance  of the  foregoing,  any claim for Damages made
against the Indemnity  Funds shall first be debited  against the Promissory Note
until the  principal  amount and any interest  accrued  through the date of such
claim shall equal zero, next debited against the Escrowed Stock, which shares of
Escrowed  Stock  shall  have a Fair  Market  Value Per Share as of the date such
claim is made against the Escrowed Stock,  and last debited against the $400,000
Offset.

        SECTION 10.5    PROCEDURE FOR  INDEMNIFICATION - THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. If,
after the Closing Date, either a Buyer Indemnified  Person or Seller Indemnified
Person,  as  the  case  may  be  (the  "INDEMNITEE"),  receives  notice  of  any
third-party  claim or alleged  third-party  claim asserting the existence of any
matter of a nature as to which the  Indemnitee  is  entitled  to be  indemnified
under this Agreement,  the Indemnitee shall promptly notify Seller, or Buyer, as
the case may be (the  "INDEMNITOR"),  in writing with respect  thereto,  but the
failure  to  notify  the  Indemnitor  will not  relieve  the  Indemnitor  of any
liability  that it may have to an  Indemnitee,  except  to the  extent  that the
Indemnitor  demonstrates  that the defense of such action has been prejudiced by
the Indemnitee's failure to give such notice. The Indemnitor will have the right
to defend  against any such claim provided (a) that the  Indemnitor,  within ten
(10) days after the giving of such notice by Indemnitee,  notifies Indemnitee in
writing that (i) Indemnitor disputes such claim and gives reasons therefor,  and
(ii) Indemnitor will, at its own cost and expense, defend the same, and (b) such
defense is instituted and  continuously  maintained in good faith by Indemnitor.
Indemnitee may, if it so elects,  designate its own counsel to participate  with
the counsel  selected by Indemnitor  in the conduct of such defense.  Indemnitor
will not permit any lien or execution to attach to the assets of Indemnitee as a
result of such claim, and the Indemnitor shall provide such bonds or deposits as
are necessary to prevent the same. In any event, Indemnitor will keep Indemnitee
fully advised as to the status of such defense. If Indemnitor is given notice of
a claim as aforesaid  and fails to notify  Indemnitee  of its election to defend
such claim within the time prescribed  herein, or after having elected to defend
such claim fails to institute and maintain such defense as prescribed herein, or
if such defense is unsuccessful  then, in any such event,  the Indemnitor  shall
fully satisfy and discharge the claim within ten (10) days after notice from the
Indemnitee requesting Indemnitor to do so. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense
of any action or  proceeding  (y) no compromise or settlement of such claims may
be effected by the Indemnitor without the Indemnitee's  consent unless (A) there
is no finding or admission  of any  violation  of any legal  requirement  or any
violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may
be made  against the  Indemnitee,  and (B) the sole relief  provided is monetary
damages that are paid in full by the  Indemnitor;  and (z) the  Indemnitee  will
have no liability  with respect to any  compromise  or settlement of such claims
effected without its consent.

        SECTION 10.6    PROCEDURE FOR  INDEMNIFICATION  - OTHER CLAIMS.  A claim
for  indemnification  for any matter not  involving a  third-party  claim may be
asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.

                                      -32-

determined  by an  appraiser,  such  appraiser  shall  submit  to the  Board  of

RE:  Cell & Molecular Technologies, Inc. and Merck & Co., Inc. Fee for Service
     Agreement, dated June 27, 2001 as amended

Dear Sir:

     This Fourth Letter Amendment (the "Fourth Letter Amendment") effective as
of January 1, 2006, confirms the mutual understanding between Cell & Molecular
Technologies, Inc. ("CMT") and Merck & Co., Inc. ("Merck") to amend the terms of
the Fee for Service Agreement between the parties dated June 27, 2001 (the
"Agreement") as amended on June 27, 2003, June 29, 2004 and February 7, 2005, in
which CMT provides Merck's automated biotechnology facility with its cell
culture requirements.

     WHEREAS, the parties now wish to amend the Agreement to extend the
Agreement Term and to provide for the use of certain credits by Merck;

     WHEREAS, Merck and CMT agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the
Agreement, as amended June 27, 2003, June 29, 2004, February 7, 2005 and herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above, Merck and CMT hereby amend
the Agreement as follows:

     1.   Paragraph 2-Term is amended to extend the Agreement Term to include
January 1, 2006 to March 31, 2006 (the "Third Extended Term"). The Initial Term,
the Extended Term, the Second Extended Term and the Third Extended Term are
collectively referred to as the "Term".

     2.   Paragraph 3-Amount, shall be replaced in its entirety with:

          "Effective January 1, 2006 and to continue for three (3) months, until
     March 31, 2006, CMT will issue two (2) invoices to Merck each month. Each
     invoice will be in the amount of ninety-two thousand three hundred
     thirty-four dollars and seventeen cents ($92,334.17). The total of payments
     for each month will be one hundred eighty-four thousand six hundred
     sixty-eight dollars and thirty-three cents ($184,668.33). The total payment
     of five hundred fifty-four thousand five dollars ($554,005.00) for the
     three months ended March 31, 2006, is for cell culture services of 600
     Delivery Units ("DU") and reflects the application of the 2004 and 2005
     credits to Merck for non-high-throughput screening services in the
     aggregate amount of forty-five thousand nine hundred

<PAGE>
     ninety-five dollars ($45,995.00). Cell culture services for any additional
     DUs will be billed at the rate of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per DU.
     CMT will supply Merck with a monthly accounting of DU usage. Additional DUs
     beyond the 200 per month will be invoiced at the end of such three month
     period. If as of March 31, 2006 Merck's Automated Biotechnology facility
     has not utilized all of the six hundred (600) DUs, CMT will issue a credit
     for non-high-throughput screening services in 2006. There will be no rebate
     of cash. Additional services include only those services provided to
     Merck's Automated Biotechnology facility in North Wales, PA. The credit
     will be calculated as (30%) of the value of the unused DUs. Unused DUs will
     be valued at one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per DU. This utilization
     review will be conducted at the end of March 2006 as mutually agreed by the
     parties.

          The payments shall be made by Merck to CMT within thirty (30) days of
     receipt of each invoice. Merck shall not be obligated to make any payments
     whatsoever to CMT or bear any costs or expenses beyond those set forth in
     this Fourth Letter Amendment.

          The biochemical stability or biological activity of the recombinant
     proteins are not under the control of CMT and therefore cannot be
     guaranteed."

     3.   All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Fourth
Letter Amendment shall have the meanings as set forth in the Agreement, as
amended on June 27, 2003, June 29, 2004 and February 7, 2005.

     4.   It is the intent of the parties that the terms of this Fourth Letter
Amendment be read and interpreted as being additive to and in harmony with and,
except as expressly set forth herein, not as replacing or contradicting, the
terms of the Agreement as amended on June 27, 2003, June 29, 2004 and February
7, 2005.

     5.   All other terms and conditions of the Agreement as amended on June 27,
2003, June 29, 2004 and February 7, 2005, shall remain in full force and effect
except to the extent superseded by the terms and conditions of this Fourth
Letter Amendment.

     6.   The Agreement, as amended on June 27, 2003, June 29, 2004, February 7,
2005 and herein, contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect
to CMT providing Merck's Automated Biotechnology facility with its cell culture
requirements as described in the Work Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A.

     7.   This Fourth Letter Amendment may be executed in two counterparts, each
of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
but one and the same instrument.

     If these modifications are acceptable, please execute this document and
return an original to Thomas Livelli.
