condition of engaging in any aspect of the  business of the  Acquired  Business,

property owned or leased by it and  comprising a part of the Acquired  Assets or
the Acquired Business,  or used by it in the conduct of the Acquired Business in

same is owned or leased by it; such  ownership  is, or at the  Closing  will be,
except  as  identified  on  Section  1.2 of  the  Acquired  Business  Disclosure
Document, free and clear of all liens, claims,  encumbrances and charges, except
liens for taxes not yet due and minor  imperfections of title and  encumbrances,
if any, which, singularly or in the aggregate, are not substantial in amount and
do not  materially-detract  from the value of the  property  subject  thereto or
materially impair the use thereof;  no other person has any ownership or similar
right in, or  contractual  or other  right to acquire  any such right in, any of
such assets; and such ownership will be conveyed to the Purchaser at the Closing

the Acquired Business.  The seller has not received any default notices from any
mortgagee  regarding  any leased  properties  of the  Acquired  Business  or any
leasehold interests which comprise any part of the Acquired Assets. Schedule 5.6

of conflict  which  asserts the rights of others with respect  thereto;  and the
Seller has, in all material respects,  performed all of the obligations required

Intellectual Property.

               Acquired  Business or  employees  of the Seller  whose  principal
               activities relate to the Acquired Business, (i) there is no fact,
               including,  without limitation, any Reportable Event, that exists
               that would  constitute  grounds for termination of such Plan. and
               there is no material  Accumulated Funding Deficiency with respect
               to any Pension Plan, whether or not waived.

Facilities,  vehicles or other  equipment is in need of  maintenance  or repairs
except for  ordinary,  routine  maintenance  and repairs  (normal  wear and tear
excepted)  which are not  material  in nature or cost.  The seller is not in any
material  breach,  violation  or default  of any lease  affecting  the  Acquired
Business or the Acquired  Assets with  respect to, or as a result of which,  the
other party, whether lessor,  lessee,  sublessor,  or sublessee thereto, has the
right to terminate the same and the Seller has not received  notice of any claim
or assertion that it is or may be in any such breach, violation or default.

     (13) Accounts Receivable. All accounts receivable of the Seller, whether or
not reflected in the Acquired  Business Balance Sheet represent  transactions in
the ordinary  course of business,  and are current and  collectible,  net of any
reserves  shown on such  Balance  Sheet  (which  reserves  are adequate and were

amount.  Items  included  in such  Inventories  are  carried on the books of the
Seller,  and are valued on the Acquired  Business Balance Sheet, at the lower of
cost or market  and,  in any event,  at not  greater  than their net  realizable
value,  on an item by item  basis,  after  appropriate  deduction  for  costs of
completion, marketing costs, transportation expense and allocation of overhead.

     (15)  Contracts.  The  Acquired  Assets and the  Acquired  Business are not
parties to or affected by any contracts,  agreements or understandings,  whether
express or implied,  written or verbal,  provided,  however,  that the  Acquired
Assets or the  Acquired  Business  may be  parties  to or  affected  by, and the

agreements,  or understandings  that fall into one of the following  categories:

thirty-one  (31) days or less (on  termination or otherwise);  or (b) those that
involve aggregate  payment or obligation  remaining unpaid as of the date of the

<PAGE>

properties included in the Acquired Assets or utilized by the Acquired Business,
including all amendments,  supplements,  extensions and  modifications  thereof,
identifying,  inter  alia,  the date each such  document  was  executed  and its

books of the Seller at the time of the Closing will, reflect all amounts owed by
the Seller in respect of trade  accounts due and other  Payables of the Acquired
Business or relating to the  Acquired  Assets,  and the actual  Liability of the
Seller in respect of such  obligations  was not, and will not be, on any of such
dates,  in excess of the amounts so reflected on the balance sheets or the books
of the Acquired Business, as the case may be.

     (17) Labor Matters.  To the best of the knowledge of the Seller,  there are
no  activities  or  controversies,   including  without  limitation,  any  labor
organizing   activities,   election   petitions  or   proceedings,   proceedings

 property is subject in any way to any  challenge,  claim,  assertion of rights,
 proceedings  toward  condemnation or  confiscation,  in whole or in part, or is
 otherwise subject to challenge.  Each parcel of real property the ownership of,

 contamination  or  matters  of  environmental  concerns,  and the Seller is not
 subject  to any  Liability  resulting  from  or  related  to any  such  wastes,

is asserted by any person not a party to this  Agreement in respect of which any
of the Purchaser Parties or the Seller Parties may seek indemnification pursuant
to this Section 10, the  indemnified  party shall  promptly cause written notice
(the  "Notice")  of the  assertion of any such claim or demand to be made to the
indemnifying party; provided, however, that the failure of the indemnified party
to  give  prompt  Notice  shall  not  relieve  the  indemnifying  party  of  its
obligations  hereunder unless,  and only to the extent that, such failure caused
the damages for which the  indemnifying  party is  obligated  to be greater than
they would have been had the  indemnified  party  given the  indemnifying  party
prompt Notice hereunder.  Except as otherwise  provided herein, the indemnifying
party  shall have the  right,  at its option  and  expense,  to defend  against,
negotiate,  or settle any such claim or demand,  and if the  indemnifying  party

<PAGE>

and  expenses  incurred  after  the date the  indemnifying  party  notifies  the
indemnified  party of such  exercise by a counsel  employed  by the  indemnified
party. An indemnifying party may not settle any such claim or demand without the
written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld,  conditioned
or delayed) of the  indemnified  party unless such  settlement  requires no more
than a monetary payment for which the indemnified  party is fully indemnified or
involves other matters not binding upon the  indemnified  party. An indemnifying
party  shall  not be  liable  for any  settlement  of any such  claim or  demand
effected  without  its  prior  written  consent  (which  consent  shall  not  be
unreasonably   withheld,   conditioned  or  delayed).  In  the  event  that  the
indemnifying  party shall fail to respond  within ten (10) days after the giving
of the Notice,  then the  indemnified  party may retain  counsel and conduct the
defense thereof as it may, in its sole discretion, deem proper, at the sole cost
and expense of the  indemnifying  party.  The parties agree to co-operate  fully
with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any
such legal proceeding, claim or demand.

     10.5  Cooperation.  The Purchaser  shall,  and shall cause its accountants,
counsel,  employees and other representatives to, reasonably co-operate with the
Seller in  connection  with any and all disputes  which may arise in  connection
with any and all Liabilities  other than the Assumed  Liabilities (the "Excluded
Liabilities").  The Seller  shall,  and shall  cause its  accountants,  counsel,
employees and other representatives to, reasonably co-operate with the Purchaser
in connection  with any and all disputes which may arise in connection  with any
and all of the Assumed  Liabilities.  Without  limiting  the  generality  of the
foregoing,  the Purchaser shall cause its  accountants,  counsel,  employees and
other  representatives,  to make available to the Seller,  its  employees,  work
papers,  documents and other information and materials  reasonably  requested by
the Seller,  VTI or EHGI in  connection  with the Excluded  Liabilities  and the
Seller, VTI and EHGI shall cause its respective accountants,  counsel, employees
and other  representatives,  to make available to the Purchaser,  its employees,
work papers,  documents and other information and materials reasonably requested
by  the  Purchaser  in  connection  with  the  Assumed  Liabilities.  The  party
requesting  co-operation  (the  Seller,  VTI and  EHGI in  connection  with  the
Excluded   Liabilities   or  the  Purchaser  in  connection   with  the  Assumed
Liabilities) shall pay all out-of-pocket  expenses  reasonably incurred and paid
by the co-operating  party to third parties in connection with such co-operative
efforts; provided,  however, that the party requesting co-operation shall not be
obligated to reimburse the co-operating party for the time spent by any of their
or their affiliates' time spent in connection with such co-operative efforts.

     all instances to each of the terms, conditions,  provisions and limitations
     contained in this Agreement,  EAG shall, and EHAG shall cause EAG to, sell,

     the Purchaser shall acquire from EAG, the Acquired Assets, and shall assume
     the  Assumed  Liabilities,  and only those  Liabilities  and no others,  in
     exchange for the Consideration.  Sellers represent that the Acquired Assets
     are all the assets  reasonably  necessary  for the conduct of the  Acquired

     business  has been  conducted in the  immediate  past,  including,  without

     is assuming,  becoming  liable for,  agreeing to discharge or in any manner
     becoming in any way responsible for any of the Liabilities of Sellers other
     than the Assumed  Liabilities.  Purchaser  hereby agrees to pay, perform or
     discharge all of the Assumed  Liabilities.  Sellers hereby  represent that,
     prior to the Closing, neither EHAG nor any Affiliate of EHAG other than EAG
     holds any right,  title or interest to the Acquired Assets and there are no
     other agreements, understandings, or arrangements which, as of or after the
     Closing,  would  materially  adversely  effect the Acquired  Assets and the
     Acquired Business, the ability of EAG to sell, transfer,  convey and assign
     the Acquired Assets and the Acquired Business to the Purchaser or result in
     the assumption of any  Liabilities by the Purchaser  other than the Assumed
     Liabilities.

Sellers,  individually and collectively,  represent and warrant to the Purchaser

5.1  Organization  and  Qualification.  Each of  Sellers is a  corporation  duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of its respective jurisdictions of
incorporation and each has the requisite  corporate power and authority to carry
on its  business  as it is now  being  conducted.  Each  of  EHAG,  EAG  and any
Subsidiary of EAG is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business, and
is in good standing,  in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties
owned  or  leased  by it,  or  the  nature  of  its  activities,  is  such  that
qualification as a foreign  corporation in that  jurisdiction is required by law
except where the failure to be so qualified  would not reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse effect on such Entities' business.

5.2  Authority  Relative to This  Agreement.  This  Agreement  has been duly and
validly  executed and  delivered by Sellers and  constitutes a valid and binding
Agreement of Sellers  enforceable in accordance with its terms.  Each of Sellers

to carry out the Transaction contemplated hereby, and its doing so has been duly
and sufficiently  authorized,  subject only to governmental regulatory approvals
as and to the extent specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

5.3 Absence of Breach; No Consents. The execution,  delivery, and performance of
this Agreement by Sellers,  and the  performance by Sellers of their  respective
obligations hereunder, do not, (1) conflict with or result in a breach of any of
the  provisions of the Articles of  Incorporation  or Bylaws of EHAG or EAG; (2)
contravene any law, ordinance, rule, or regulation of the laws of Switzerland or
of any applicable foreign jurisdiction (except for compliance with regulatory or
licensing laws,  ordinances,  rules or regulations,  all of which, to the extent
applicable  to EHAG or EAG will be satisfied in all material  respects  prior to
the Closing),  or contravene  any order,  writ,  judgment,  injunction,  decree,
determination,  or award of any  court or other  authority  having  jurisdiction
over,  or cause the  suspension or  revocation  of any  authorization,  consent,
approval,  or license,  presently in effect, which affects or binds, EHAG or EAG
or all or any part of the Acquired  Business or any material  properties  of the
Acquired Business, except in any such case where such contravention,  suspension
or revocation will not have a material adverse effect on the business, condition
(financial or otherwise),  operations or prospects of the Acquired  Business and
will not have a material  adverse effect on the validity of this Agreement or on
the validity of the consummation of the Transaction; (3) conflict with or result
in a  material  breach of or default  under any  material  indenture  or loan or
credit agreement or any other material  agreement or instrument to which EHAG or
EAG is a party  or by  which  any of the  material  properties  of the  Acquired
Business  may be affected or bound;  (4)  require  the  authorization,  consent,
approval,  or license of any third party,  except for those the failure of which
to obtain would not reasonably be expected to have a material  adverse effect on
the Acquired Business or the Acquired Assets; or (5) constitute  grounds for the
loss or suspension of any permits, licenses, or other authorizations used in the

<PAGE>

5.4  Brokers.  No  broker,  finder,  or  investment  banker is  entitled  to any
brokerage,  finder's,  or  other  fee or  commission  in  connection  with  this
Agreement  or  the  Transaction  or  any  related  transaction  based  upon  any
agreements,  written or oral,  made by or on behalf of EHAG, EAG or any of their
Subsidiaries.

5.5  Financial  Statements.  EAG has  heretofore  delivered to the Purchaser the
following:

The Unaudited Financial Statements of the Acquired Business.

All of the  historical  financial  statements  contained in such  documents were
prepared  from the  books  and  records  of  Sellers.  The  Unaudited  Financial
Statements  were prepared in  accordance  with GAAP,  and fairly and  accurately
reflect the financial  position and condition of EAG as of the dates and for the
periods  indicated  subject to normal  year-end  adjustments  and the absence of
footnotes.  Without limiting the foregoing,  as of the Acquired Business Balance
Sheet,  EAG owned each of the assets  included in  preparation  of the  Acquired
Business  Balance Sheet, and such assets are valued in accordance with GAAP; and
EAG had no Liabilities  required to be included in the Acquired Business Balance
Sheet in accordance with GAAP for which the Acquired Business or any part of the
Acquired  Assets is  responsible  or liable,  other than those  included  in the
Acquired Business Balance Sheet, nor any Liabilities  required to be included in
the Acquired Business Balance Sheet in accordance with GAAP in amounts in excess
of the amounts  included for them in the Acquired  Business  Balance Sheet.  The
Purchaser  acknowledges  that  projections of future  economic  performance  are
necessarily  unreliable  and subject to the  occurrence  or  nonoccurrence  of a
variety of events, but Sellers represent that the Projections have been prepared
in good faith.  From the date  hereof  through the  Closing  Date  Sellers  will
continue to prepare  financial  statements for the Acquired Business on the same
basis that they have done so in the past, will promptly  deliver the same to the
Purchaser,   and  agree  that  from  and  after  such   delivery  the  foregoing
representations  will be applicable to each financial  statement so prepared and
delivered.

5.6  Absence of  Material  Differences  From the  Acquired  Business  Disclosure
Document.  Except as specifically  disclosed in the Acquired Business Disclosure
Document in schedules corresponding to the subsections below:

(1) No  Undisclosed  Liabilities.  Sellers  have no  Liabilities  relating to or
affecting  the Acquired  Business or the  Acquired  Assets which are not, to the
extent required by GAAP, adequately reflected or reserved against on the face of
the Acquired Business Balance Sheet, except Liabilities  incurred since the date
of the Acquired Business Balance Sheet in the ordinary course of business of the
Acquired  Business  and  consistent  with past  practice.  Without  limiting the
foregoing,  (a) there are no improvements  currently due and owing at any of the
Acquired  Facilities for which the Acquired  Business is or will be responsible,
and (b) there are no deferred  rents due to lessors at or with respect to any of
such Acquired Facilities, and (c) the Acquired Business Disclosure Document sets
forth, as a part thereof,  each Liability of or affecting the Acquired  Business

<PAGE>

or the Acquired  Assets in an amount in excess of  USD10,000  and each person to
whom the aggregate amount of such Liabilities is in excess of USD10,000.

(2) No Material  Adverse  Change,  Etc. Since the date of the Acquired  Business
Balance Sheet, other than as contemplated or caused by this Agreement, there has
not been (a) any material adverse change in the business,  condition  (financial
or  otherwise),  operations,  or  prospects of the  Acquired  Business;  (b) any
damage,  destruction  or loss,  whether  covered by insurance  or not,  having a
material  adverse  effect on the business,  condition  (financial or otherwise),
operations  or prospects  of the  Acquired  Business,  or  materially  adversely
affecting the Acquired Assets; (c) any entry into or termination of any material
commitment,  contract,  agreement or transaction affecting the Acquired Business
or the Acquired Assets (including, without limitation, any material borrowing or
capital  expenditure  or sale or  other  disposition  of any  material  asset or
assets) other than this Agreement and agreements executed in the ordinary course
of business;  (d) any redemption,  repurchase or other  acquisition for value of
the capital  stock of any  corporation  included in the  Acquired  Assets or any
issuance of capital stock by any corporation  included in the Acquired Assets or
securities  convertible into or rights to acquire any such capital stock (e) any
transfer of or right  granted  under any  material  lease,  license,  agreement,
patent,  trademark,  trade name or copyright included among the Acquired Assets;
(f) any sale or other disposition of any asset of the Acquired Business,  or any
mortgage,  pledge or imposition of any lien or other encumbrance on any asset of
the Acquired Business or of any corporation  included in the Acquired Assets, or
any  agreement  relating  to any of the  foregoing,  other than in the  ordinary
course of business;  or (g) any default or breach in any material  respect under
any  contract,  license  or  permit  held by or for or  affecting  the  Acquired
Business.  Since the date of the Acquired  Business Balance Sheet,  Sellers have
conducted  the Acquired  Business  only in the ordinary  and usual  course,  and
without  limiting  the  foregoing,  no changes  have been made in (a)  executive
compensation  levels,  or (b) the  manner in which  other  employees  of EAG are
compensated,  or (c)  supplemental  benefits  provided to any such executives or
other  employees of EAG, or (d)  inventory  levels of the  Acquired  Business in
relation to sales levels,  except,  in any such case, in the ordinary  course of
business and, in any event,  without  material  adverse  effect on the business,
condition  (financial or  otherwise),  operations,  or prospects of the Acquired
Business.

(3) Taxes. Sellers have properly filed or caused to be filed (or obtained proper
extensions in respect of) all federal,  cantonal,  local, and foreign income and
other tax returns, reports, and declarations that are required by applicable law
to be filed  by them  and  that  relate  to or in any way  affect  the  Acquired
Business or the  Acquired  Assets  except for those the failure of which to file
would  not have an  adverse  effect on the  Acquired  Business  or the  Acquired
Assets,  and have paid,  or will pay at or prior to the  Closing,  all  federal,
cantonal,  local, and foreign income and other taxes properly due (including any
amounts  deferred  as a result of an  extension  or  otherwise)  for the periods
covered by such returns, reports, and declarations.

(4)  Litigation.  (a) No material  investigation  or review by any  governmental
entity with  respect to the Acquired  Business or any of the Acquired  Assets or
the use  thereof  is,  to the  best of the  knowledge  of  Sellers,  pending  or
threatened  (other than  inspections and reviews  customarily made of businesses
such as the Acquired  Business),  nor has any  governmental  entity indicated an

<PAGE>

intention to conduct the same,  and (b) there is no action,  suit or  proceeding
pending  or, to the best of the  knowledge  of  Sellers,  threatened  against or
affecting the Acquired  Business or the Acquired Assets at law or in equity,  or
before  any  federal,  state,  municipal,  or  other  governmental   department,
commission, board, bureau, agency, or instrumentality.

(5) Employees,  Etc. There are no collective bargaining,  bonus, profit sharing,
compensation,  or other plans  (other  than the EAG Pension  Plans as set out in
par.  (11)  of  this  Section),   agreements,  trusts,  funds,  or  arrangements
maintained  by EHAG,  EAG or any  Subsidiary  of EHAG or EAG for the  benefit of
directors,  officers or employees of, or whose principal responsibilities relate
to, the Acquired Business, and there are no employment,  consulting,  severance,
or indemnification  arrangements,  agreements, or understandings between EHAG or
EAG,  on the one hand,  and any current or former  directors,  officers or other
employees (or Affiliates thereof) of, or whose principal responsibilities relate
to, the Acquired Business,  on the other hand. The Acquired Business  Disclosure
Document  identifies each person whose  annualized gross income from EAG, on the
date of the  Acquired  Business  Balance  Sheet,  exceeded or would exceed on an
annualized  basis, or whose income from EAG in the fiscal year begun immediately
thereafter is at a rate  exceeding,  CHF100,000  per annum,  and describes  each
contractual  arrangement  for the employment or compensation of each such person
including  the vacation time accrued and the overtime  accrued.  EAG is not, and
following  the Closing will not be, bound by any express or implied  contract or
agreement to employ,  directly or as a consultant or  otherwise,  any person for
any  specific  period of time or until any  specific  age except as specified in
agreements in writing identified in the Acquired Business Disclosure Document or
executed pursuant to the provisions hereof.

(6) Compliance With Laws. The Acquired  Business and each of the Acquired Assets
is in  substantial  compliance  with all, and neither EHAG nor EAG have received
notice  of  any  violation  of  any,  laws  or  regulations  applicable  to  its
operations,  including, without limitation, the laws and regulations relevant to
the use or  utilization  of premises,  or with respect to which  compliance is a
condition of engaging in any aspect of the  business of the  Acquired  Business,
except to the extent the failure of which any of the  foregoing to be true would
not have a material  adverse  effect on the  Acquired  Business or the  Acquired
Assets.  The Acquired  Business has all permits,  licenses,  zoning rights,  and
other governmental authorizations necessary to conduct its business as presently
conducted, except to the extent the failure of the Acquired Business to have any
of the foregoing would not have a material adverse effect.

(7)  Ownership  of  Assets.  EAG has (or as of the  Closing  will have) good and
marketable title to all personal property owned or leased by it and comprising a
part of the  Acquired  Assets  or the  Acquired  Business,  or used by it in the
conduct of the Acquired Business in such a manner as to create the appearance or
reasonable expectations that the same is owned or leased by it; such ownerships,
or at the Closing will be, free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and
charges, except liens for minor imperfections of title and encumbrances, if any,
which, singularly or in the aggregate,  are not substantial in amount and do not
materially-detract  from the value of the property subject thereto or materially
impair the use thereof;  no other person has any  ownership or similar right in,
or  contractual or other right to acquire any such right in, any of such assets;

<PAGE>

and such ownership will be conveyed to the Purchaser at the Closing  pursuant to
the  Transaction.  Sellers  do not know of any  potential  action by any  party,
governmental  or  other,  and no  proceedings  with  respect  thereto  have been
instituted of which EHAG or EAG has notice,  that would materially  affect EAG's
ability  to use and to  utilize  each  of such  assets  in the  business  of the
Acquired  Business.  Neither EHAG nor EAG has received any default  notices from
any mortgagee  regarding any leased  properties  of the Acquired  Business.  All
Acquired  Assets  including,  but not limited  to, (a)  accounts  receivable  as
provided in clause (13) below,  (b)  miscellaneous  current  assets in excess of
USD10,000,  (c) prepaid expenses in excess of USD10,000,  (d) Software Products,
(e) real property,  and (f) gross aggregate  additions for each of the past four
years by location of (i) buildings and  improvements  and (ii)  automobiles  and
trucks, are owned by the Sellers.

(8)  Proprietary  Rights,  Software  Products  and  Intellectual  Property.  EAG
possesses full  ownership of, or adequate and  enforceable  exclusive  long-term
licenses or other  exclusive  rights to use (without  payment),  all Proprietary
Rights,  Software  Products  and  Intellectual  Property  used  in the  Acquired
Business  or utilized  in  connection  with the  Acquired  Assets,  and all such
ownership,  license or other  rights  shall be conveyed to the  Purchaser at the
Closing  pursuant to the  Transaction;  neither  EHAG nor EAG has  received  any
notice of conflict which asserts the rights of others with respect thereto;  and
EAG has, in all material respects,  performed all of the obligations required to
be  performed by it, and is not in default in any  material  respect,  under any
agreement  relating  to any  such  Proprietary  Rights,  Software  Products  and
Intellectual Property.

(9) Trade Names. The Acquired Business Disclosure Document identifies each trade
name,  fictitious  business  name, or other similar name under which EHAG or EAG
has  conducted  any part of the  Acquired  Business  or in which EHAG or EAG has
utilized any of the Acquired Assets during the five (5) years preceding the date
of this Agreement.

(10)  Subsidiaries,  Etc. No Subsidiary of EHAG or EAG (other than EAG or Eltrax
UK. Ltd.),  directly or indirectly,  owns any of the Acquired Assets or conducts
any  part  of the  Acquired  Business.  Neither  EHAG,  EAG  nor  any  of  their
Subsidiaries described in the Acquired Business Disclosure Document is a partner
of or joint  venturer  with any other person or Entity in relation to any of the
Acquired Assets or any portion of the Acquired Business.

(11) Social Security, Employee Benefit Plans.

a) Sellers have paid in full any and all social  security  contributions  as and
when due up to September 30, 2000; there are no facts and circumstances existing
or having arisen which have or may lead to a reassessment by any social security
authority regarding social security contributions to be made by EHAG or EAG.

Sellers have paid all their obligations under the two existing pension plans for
the benefit of the employees of the Acquired  Business ("EAG Pension Plans") and
specifically have paid all contributions required prior to September 30, 2000 as
required by the regulations of the pension plans.

<PAGE>

(b) Except for the EAG Pension Plan neither EAG nor any of its  Subsidiaries  or
EHAG  maintains  or  contributes  to any pension  plan or any other plan for the
benefit of employees,  nor is EHAG or EAG or any of its Subsidiaries  presently,
nor has it been  within  the last six years,  a  participating  employer  in any
pension plan  affecting,  in any case,  employees  of the  Acquired  Business or
employees of EHAG, EAG or a Subsidiary whose principal  activities relate to the
Acquired Business.

(12)  Facilities.  To Sellers'  knowledge,  the Acquired  Facilities  are (as to
physical  plant  and  structure)  structurally  sound  and none of the  Acquired
Facilities, nor any of the vehicles or other equipment used by EAG in connection
with the Acquired  Business has any material  defects and all of them are in all
material  respects in good  operating  condition and repair and are adequate for
the uses to which they are being  utilized;  none of such  Acquired  Facilities,
vehicles or other  equipment  is in need of  maintenance  or repairs  except for
ordinary,  routine maintenance and repairs (normal wear and tear excepted) which
are not material in nature or cost. EAG is not in any material breach, violation
or default of any lease  affecting the Acquired  Business or the Acquired Assets
with  respect  to, or as a result of which,  the other  party,  whether  lessor,
lessee, sublessor, or sublessee thereto, has the right to terminate the same and
neither EHAG nor EAG have received  notice of any claim or assertion  that it is
or may be in any such breach, violation or default.

(13)  Accounts  Receivable.  All  accounts  receivable  of EAG,  whether  or not
reflected in the Acquired  Business Balance Sheet represent  transactions in the
ordinary  course  of  business,  and are  current  and  collectible,  net of any
reserves  shown on such  Balance  Sheet  (which  reserves  are adequate and were
calculated consistent with past practice). As of the date specified therein, the
Acquired Business Disclosure Document  specifically  identifies (a) the aging of
Receivables,  (b) each Receivable in excess of USD10,000, (c) each Receivable in
an amount in excess of USD5,000 that is more than 90 days past due, and (d) each
Receivable  from a person or Entity from whom the aggregate of such  Receivables
exceeds   USD10,000.   Payments  received  from  customers  in  respect  of  any
Receivables  shall be  applied to the oldest  outstanding  Receivable  from such
customer,  unless  such  customer,  acting  on its  own  volition,  specifically
identifies such payment to a particular  Receivable,  in which case such payment
shall be applied to the specified Receivable.

(14)  Inventories.  All Inventories of EAG,  reflected in the Acquired  Business
Balance  Sheet are of quality and  quantity  usable and salable in the  ordinary
course of business.  Items included in such Inventories are carried on the books
of EAG, and are valued on the Acquired  Business  Balance Sheet, at the lower of
cost or market  and,  in any event,  at not  greater  than their net  realizable
value,  on an item by item  basis,  after  appropriate  deduction  for  costs of
completion, marketing costs, transportation expense and allocation of overhead.

(15) Contracts. The Acquired Assets and the Acquired Business are not parties to
or affected by any contracts,  agreements or understandings,  whether express or
implied, written or verbal,  provided,  however, that the Acquired Assets or the
Acquired  Business may be parties to or affected  by, and the Acquired  Business

<PAGE>

Disclosure  Document  need not  identify,  any such  contracts,  agreements,  or
understandings  that fall into one of the following  categories:  (a) those that
are  terminable on notice of less than  thirty-two  (32) days and do not involve
payments or obligations of more than USD10,000 in any period of thirty-one  (31)
days or less (on termination or otherwise);  or (b) those that involve aggregate
payment or obligation  remaining  unpaid as of the date of the Agreement of less
than USD10,000.

(16) Accounts  Payable.  The accounts payable reflected on the Acquired Business
Balance Sheet do, and those  reflected in the most recent balance sheet included
in the Unaudited  Financial  Statements do, and those  reflected on the books of
EAG at the time of the Closing will,  reflect all amounts owed by EAG in respect
of trade accounts due and other Payables of the Acquired Business or relating to
the  Acquired  Assets,  and  the  actual  Liability  of EAG in  respect  of such
obligations  was not,  and will not be, on any of such  dates,  in excess of the
amounts  so  reflected  on the  balance  sheets  or the  books  of the  Acquired
Business, as the case may be.

(17)  Labor  Matters.  To the best of the  knowledge  of  Sellers,  there are no
activities or controversies,  including without limitation, any labor organizing
activities, election petitions or proceedings,  proceedings preparatory thereto,
unfair labor practice complaints,  labor strikes,  disputes,  slowdowns, or work
stoppages, pending or, threatened, affecting the employees of EAG.

5.7 Full Disclosure. The documents,  certificates,  and other writings furnished
or to be furnished by or on behalf of EHAG and/or EAG to the Purchaser  pursuant
to the provisions of this Agreement, taken together in the aggregate, do not and
will not contain any untrue  statements of a material fact, or omit to state any
material  fact  necessary  to make  the  statements  made,  in the  light of the
circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

5.8 Actions Since Balance  Sheet Date.  Since the date of the Acquired  Business
Balance  Sheet,  neither  EHAG  nor EAG has  taken  any  actions  that  would be
prohibited under the provisions of this Agreement  (without the prior consent of
the Purchaser) after the date of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI: COVENANTS OF THE PURCHASER

6.1  Affirmative  Covenants.  From the date hereof through the Closing Date, the
Purchaser will use commercially  reasonable efforts to satisfy the conditions to
Closing  set forth in this  Agreement  and  otherwise  to ensure  the prompt and
expedient consummation of the Transaction  substantially as contemplated by this
Agreement, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Transaction
to be  consummated,  provided  in all  instances  that the  representations  and
warranties of Sellers in this  Agreement are and remain true and accurate in all
material  respects  and that the  covenants  and  agreements  of Sellers in this
Agreement  are  honored  and  that  the  conditions  to the  obligations  of the
Purchaser set forth in this Agreement are not incapable of satisfaction.

<PAGE>

6.2 Cooperation VAT. The Purchaser shall  reasonably  cooperate with Sellers and
its  counsel,   accountants  and  agents  in  every  way  in  carrying  out  the
Transactions   contemplated   herein,   and  in  delivering  all  documents  and
instruments  deemed  reasonably  necessary or useful by EAG. The  Purchaser  and
EHAG/EAG  will  notify  the asset  transfer  in order to obtain  exemption  from
payment of the VAT. In the event that no exemption  may be obtained,  the VAT on
the transfer of the Assets,  if any, will be invoiced by EAG to Purchaser on the
Consideration.  EHAG/EAG and the Purchaser agree that payment of such additional
amount,  if any,  shall  become  due and  payable  60 days  after the end of the
calendar  quarter for which such VAT, if any,  is due and  payable.  The Parties
agree to undertake their best efforts to allow that VAT, if any, due and payable
on the asset  transfer may be fully  recouped by the  Purchaser at the time such
additional  amount,  if any,  becomes due and payable.  Among  others,  EHAG/EAG
undertake  to provide  appropriate  documentation  that will allow  Purchaser to
recoup such additional amount, if any, when it is due and payable.

6.3  Expenses.  Whether or not the  Transaction  is  consummated,  all costs and
expenses  incurred by the  Purchaser in connection  with this  Agreement and the
Transactions  contemplated  hereby  shall  be paid by the  Purchaser  except  as
otherwise provided (directly or indirectly) herein.

6.4  Publicity.  Prior to the Closing any written news releases by the Purchaser
pertaining to this Agreement or the  Transaction  shall be submitted to EHAG for
review and  approval  prior to release by the  Purchaser,  and shall be released
only in a form approved by EAG, provided,  however, that (1) such approval shall
not be  unreasonably  withheld,  and (2) such review and  approval  shall not be
required of releases by the Purchaser if prior review and approval would prevent
the timely and  accurate  dissemination  of such press  release as  required  to
comply, in the judgment of counsel, with any applicable law, rule or policy.

6.5 Offers of Employment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
promptly after the Closing and to the extent the  employment  agreements are not
transferred to Purchaser by operation of law,  Purchaser shall offer  employment
to the  employees  employed  immediately  prior to Closing by EAG,  on terms and
conditions  acceptable  to  Purchaser.  Purchaser  shall not be  liable  for any
liabilities  associated with any employee of the Acquired Business terminated by
EHAG or EAG. The Purchaser  shall assume  responsibility  for wages and expenses
which  accrued  prior to the Closing,  but which are not  scheduled  for payment
until after the Closing for the employees employed  immediately prior to Closing
by EAG accrued prior to the Closing to the extent consistent with the historical
payroll  practices of EAG and the Acquired  Business.  Other than the  employees
employed  immediately  prior to Closing by EAG, the  Purchaser  shall not assume
responsibility  for any scheduled or unscheduled  payroll payments due employees
of the Acquired  Business for any form of  compensation  which may be accrued by
such employees prior to the Closing.

ARTICLE VII: COVENANTS OF EHAG AND EAG

7.1  Affirmative  Covenants.  From the date hereof  through  the  Closing  Date,
Sellers  will  take  every  action  reasonably  required  of it to  satisfy  the
conditions  to Closing set forth in this  Agreement  and otherwise to ensure the
prompt  and  expedient   consummation  of  the  Transaction   substantially   as
contemplated  hereby,  and will  exert  all  reasonable  efforts  to  cause  the
Transaction   to  be   consummated,   provided   in  all   instances   that  the
representations and warranties of the Purchaser in this Agreement are and remain
true and accurate and that the covenants and agreements of the purchaser in this
Agreement are honored and that the conditions to the  obligations of Sellers set
forth in this Agreement are not incapable of satisfaction.

[7.2 intentionally left blank]

7.3 Covenant Not to Compete and not to Solicit.  For the purpose of assuring the
Purchaser  the full  benefit  of the  businesses  and  goodwill  of the  Aquired
Business,  the  Seller  undertakes  by  way of  further  consideration  for  the
obligations of the Purchaser  under this  Agreement as separate and  independent
agreement  that he will  not:  (a) at any time  after  Closing  disclose  to any
person,  or himself use for any  purpose,  and shall use his best  endeavors  to
prevent  the  publication  or  disclosure  of, any  information  concerning  the
business, accounts or finances of the Aquired Business or any of the clients' or
customers'  transaction or affairs of which he has  knowledge;  (b) for five (5)
years after Closing  either on his own account or for any other person  directly
or  indirectly  solicit,  interfere  with or  endeavor  to entice  away from the
Purchaser  any person  who to his  knowledge  is, or has during the  immediately
preceeding three years been, a client,  customer or employee or, or in the habit
of dealing with, any member the Acquired  Business or of the Purchaser's  group;
(c) for the period of two (2) years, or jointly with, or as manager,  agent for,
or employee of any person,  or as a  shareholder  of more than one percent (1 %)
interest in (i) the business  carried out by the  Acquired  Business at the date
hereof  ("Business");  or (ii) any other competitive business to the business as
then carried on by the Acquired Business, or any member of the Purchaser's group
of companies as then constituted.  However,  notwithstanding to the above stated
covenant,  Sellers will be able to continue to employ Mr.  Bernhard  Mantel as a
part-time  employee for the sole purpose of  liquidating  EAG and possibly EHAG.
The purpose has to be narrowly construed.

7.4 Access and  Information.  Sellers  shall afford to the  Purchaser and to the
Purchaser's  accountants,  counsel, and other representatives  reasonable access
during normal  business hours  throughout the period prior to the Closing to all

(including,  but not limited to, tax  returns),  and  personnel  relating to the
Acquired Assets or the Acquired Business and, during such period,  shall furnish
promptly to the Purchaser (1) all written  communications to its directors or to
its  shareholders  generally  relating to the  Acquired  Assets or the  Acquired
Business,  (2) internal monthly  financial  statements of the Acquired  Business
when and as available,  and (3) all other  information  relating to the Acquired
Assets or the Acquired Business as the Purchaser may reasonably request,  but no
investigation  pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall affect any  representations or
warranties of EHAG or EAG, or the conditions to the obligations of the Purchaser
to  consummate  the  Transaction  contained in this  Agreement.  In the event of

<PAGE>

termination  of this  Agreement,  Purchaser  and its  advisors  will  treat  the
confidential   information   obtained  from  Sellers  in  accordance   with  the
confidentiality agreement entered into between their parent companies.

7.5 No Solicitation. Until the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement

those  acting on behalf of any of them will not,  and Sellers  will use its best
efforts to cause its officers, employees, agents, and representatives (including
any investment banker) to not, directly or indirectly,  solicit,  encourage,  or
initiate any  discussions  with, or negotiate or otherwise deal with, or provide
any  information  to, any  person or Entity  other  than the  Purchaser  and its
officers,  employees,  and agents,  in relation  to the  Acquired  Assets or the
Acquired  Business.  EHAG or EAG will  notify  the  Purchaser  immediately  upon
receipt of an inquiry, offer or proposal relating to any of the foregoing.  None
of the foregoing shall prohibit  providing  information to others in a manner in
keeping with the ordinary  conduct of the EHAG or EAG's  business,  or providing
information to government authorities.

7.6 Conduct of Business  Pending The  Transactions.  Sellers  covenant and agree
with the Purchaser  that,  prior to the  consummation  of the Transaction or the

Subsidiary  whose  principal  activities  relate to the  Acquired  Business  and

practices,  with  suppliers,   lenders,  creditors,   distributors,   employees,
customers  and  others  having  business  or  financial  relationships  with the
Acquired Business, and it shall immediately notify the Purchaser of any event or
occurrence or emergency  material to and not in the ordinary and usual course of

practice  and  except  for liens for taxes not yet due or liens or  encumbrances
that are not  material  in  amount or effect  and do not  impair  the use of the
property, or as specifically provided for or permitted in this Agreement.

(7) Neither they nor any of their  Subsidiaries  shall enter into, or terminate,
any material contact,  agreement,  commitment,  or understanding  relating to or
affecting the Acquired Assets or the Acquired Business.

(8)  Neither it nor any of its  Subsidiaries  shall  enter  into any  agreement,

pertaining  to this  Agreement  or the  Transaction  shall be  submitted  to the
Purchaser for review and approval  prior to release by EHAG or EAG, and shall be

hereby  agree to  indemnify,  defend  and hold  harmless,  EHAG,  EAG and  their
respective officers,  directors,  shareholders,  managers,  members,  employees,

this Section 10, the indemnified  party shall promptly cause written notice (the
"Notice")  of the  assertion  of any  such  claim  or  demand  to be made to the
indemnifying party; provided, however, that the failure of the indemnified party
to  give  prompt  Notice  shall  not  relieve  the  indemnifying  party  of  its
obligations  hereunder unless,  and only to the extent that, such failure caused
the damages for which the  indemnifying  party is  obligated  to be greater than
they would have been had the  indemnified  party  given the  indemnifying  party

party  shall have the  right,  at its option  and  expense,  to defend  against,

indemnified  party of such  exercise by a counsel  employed  by the  indemnified
party. An indemnifying party may not settle any such claim or demand without the
written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld,  conditioned
or delayed) of the  indemnified  party unless such  settlement  requires no more
than a monetary payment for which the indemnified  party is fully indemnified or
involves other matters not binding upon the  indemnified  party. An indemnifying
party  shall  not be  liable  for any  settlement  of any such  claim or  demand
effected  without  its  prior  written  consent  (which  consent  shall  not  be
unreasonably   withheld,   conditioned  or  delayed).  In  the  event  that  the
indemnifying  party shall fail to respond  within ten (10) days after the giving
of the Notice,  then the  indemnified  party may retain  counsel and conduct the
defense thereof as it may, in its sole discretion, deem proper, at the sole cost
and expense of the indemnifying party. The parties agree to cooperate fully with
each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such
legal proceeding, claim or demand.

10.5 Cooperation. The Purchaser shall, and shall cause its accountants, counsel,
employees and other  representatives  to,  reasonably  cooperate with Sellers in
connection  with any and all disputes which may arise in connection with any and
all Liabilities other than the Assumed Liabilities (the "Excluded Liabilities").

Sellers shall,  and shall cause its  accountants,  counsel,  employees and other
representatives  to, reasonably  cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with
any and all  disputes  which  may  arise in  connection  with any and all of the
Assumed  Liabilities.  Without  limiting the  generality of the  foregoing,  the
Purchaser   shall  cause  its   accountants,   counsel,   employees   and  other
representatives, to make available to EHAG or EAG, their employees, work papers,
documents and other  information and materials  reasonably  requested by EHAG or
EAG in  connection  with the Excluded  Liabilities  and Sellers  shall cause its
respective accountants,  counsel,  employees and other representatives,  to make
available to the  Purchaser,  its  employees,  work papers,  documents and other
information  and materials  reasonably  requested by the Purchaser in connection
with the  Assumed  Liabilities.  The party  requesting  cooperation  (Sellers in
connection with the Excluded Liabilities or the Purchaser in connection with the
Assumed  Liabilities) shall pay all out-of-pocket  expenses  reasonably incurred
and paid by the  cooperating  party to third  parties  in  connection  with such
cooperative efforts;  provided,  however, that the party requesting  cooperation
shall not be obligated to reimburse the cooperating  party for the time spent by
any of their or their Affiliates'  employees' time spent in connection with such
cooperative efforts.

10.6  Limitation.  The  parties  shall  have no  liability  for  indemnification
pursuant to this Article 10 until the aggregate amount of all losses suffered by
the party seeking  indemnification  with respect to such matters exceeds the sum
of USD50,000, and then only for the amount by which such aggregate losses exceed
USD50,000;  provided,  however, that this limitation shall not apply to breaches
by EHAG or EAG or its obligations under Section 7.11 above.
