terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

     4.3  In the event that buyer does not pay ODME any amounts due hereunder

              shall take out and maintain such insurance as may be reasonably
              required by Seller. All such policies and any additional fire
              insurance carried by Buyer will contain the standard clauses
              naming Seller as loss payee.

Seller) under the Uniform Commercial Code as Seller may specify, and will pay
the cost of filing the same in such public offices as Seller shall designate.

to reflect increases in labor and/or raw material costs should there be a delay

the purchase price is paid in full, Buyer acknowledges that the System does not
constitute property of the estate as defined in 11 U.S.C. (S) 541.
