prepaid premiums shall be prorated as of the Closing Date between the Seller and

bank cashier's check made payable to the order of the Seller.
2.5 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for the Acquired
Assets shall be allocated by the parties in accordance with Schedule 2.5. The

transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than the Seller's income
taxes, shall be the responsibility of, and paid promptly by, the Purchaser. Each
party, as appropriate, shall in a timely manner sign and swear to any return,
certificate, questionnaire or affidavit as to any matter within its knowledge
required in connection with the payment of any such tax.
2.7 Further Assurances. With respect to any Acquired Assets which cannot
be physically delivered to the Purchaser because they are in the possession of
third parties, the Seller will give all necessary instructions to the party in
possession thereof and any other person that the Purchaser reasonably shall
designate that all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the same
have been vested in the Purchaser and that the same are to be held for the
Purchaser's exclusive use and benefit.
2.8 Risk of Loss. The Seller shall bear the risk of loss for the

The Purchaser hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Seller as
follows:
5.1 Organization. The Purchaser is a limited liability company duly
formed, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of New
York.
5.2 Authority. The Purchaser has (or, as applicable, prior to the
Closing will have) all requisite power and authority to enter into this
Agreement and the Sublease, and perform its obligations hereunder and
thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
Sublease, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been (or,
as applicable, prior to the Closing will be) duly authorized by all necessary
action on the part of the Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by the Purchaser and, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by the Seller, this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding
agreement of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms,
except as may be limited by bankruptcy, moratorium and insolvency Laws and other
Laws affecting the rights of creditors' generally and except as may be limited
by the availability of equitable remedies. The Sublease, when executed and
delivered by the Purchaser, will be duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser
and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Seller, will be
the valid and binding agreement of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, moratorium
and insolvency Laws and other Laws affecting the rights of creditors' generally
and except as may be limited by the availability of equitable remedies.
5.3 Compliance. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by
the Purchaser, the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions
contemplated hereby, or compliance by the Purchaser with any of the provisions
hereof, will violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of,
or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or
both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination of, any of
the terms, conditions or provisions of (a) the organizational documents of the
Purchaser, (b) any material Contracts to which the Purchaser is a party or (c)
any Judgment applicable to the Purchaser.
5.4 Consents. No notice to, filing with, or Consent of, any Person is
necessary for the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.
6. COVENANTS.
---------
6.1 Confidentiality. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.1,
the Purchaser and the Seller shall not disclose any Confidential Information of
the other party hereto. Prior to the Closing, each of the Purchaser and the
Seller shall use the Confidential Information solely in connection with its
analysis and review of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
- 11 -
provided that upon and subsequent to the Closing all Confidential Information
specifically relating to the Facility provided to the Purchaser by the Seller
shall become the property of the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall have no
further obligations in respect thereof pursuant to this Section 6.1.
6.2 Xxxxxx'x Magnet. Each party shall take all actions reasonably
necessary or appropriate to sell the Seiman's Impact 1.0 Magneton (the "Seiman's
Magnet") located at the Facility and shall periodically report to each other
concerning the status thereof. In the event of the sale of the Seiman's Magnet,
all gross proceeds from the sale shall be paid to the Seller; provided, however,
that if the gross proceeds exceed the sum of $100,000 any amounts in excess of
$100,000 shall be paid to the Purchaser. Whether or not any sale proceeds are
payable to the Purchaser, in all instances the Purchaser shall be responsible
for, and shall bear all costs associated with, the rigging and removal of the
Seiman's Magnet from the Facility. The foregoing does not include services
necessary to deinstall the Seiman's Magnet, but only the rigging, removal of the
equipment and removal of any building walls, if required, and the subsequent
replacement thereof, in each case in preparation of the transportation of the
Seiman's Magnet. Unless sold prior thereto, the parties agree that the Xxxxxx'x
Magnet shall be removed on or after (as the parties may determine) the date that
is three weeks after the Seller's receipt of notice from the Purchaser that it
has received all necessary permits and licenses for the renovation of the
Facility, but in no event earlier than December 18, 2000. The Xxxxxx'x Magnet
may be removed prior to such date as the Seller may determine. If the Seiman's
Magnet has not been sold prior to its removal, then the Seller shall be
responsible for the transportation and storage thereof until any such sale. The
Purchaser agrees that it will maintain reasonable procedures to prevent
accidental or other damage to the Xxxxxx'x Magnet until its removal and shall
use at least the same degree of care with respect to the Xxxxxx'x Magnet as the
Purchaser uses to protect its own equipment.

subject to the fulfillment and satisfaction, prior to or at the Closing, of the
following conditions which may be waived by the Purchaser:

for the consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement,
other than such Consents which the failure to obtain will not have a Material
Adverse Effect.

material portion of the Facility as a result of the transactions contemplated
hereby.

9. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS; INDEMNIFICATION.

Closing for 12 months, except that liability with respect to the breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or obligation as to which a claim is

determined and paid. Any claim under this Section 9 by a party must be made by
written notice to the other party within said 12-month period.
9.2 Indemnification by the Seller. Subject to all of the provisions of
this Section 9, from and after the Closing, the Seller, by its execution of this
Agreement, hereby agrees to indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Purchaser and save and hold the Purchaser harmless from and
against, and reimburse the Purchaser for, any and all demands, claims, actions,
causes of action, assessments, liabilities, losses, expenses, judgments or
deficiencies of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney's fees and other costs and expenses incident to any suit, action or
preceding) ("Losses") suffered, incurred or sustained by the Purchaser which
shall arise out of or result from any breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant of the Seller in this Agreement (including, without limitation, those
set forth in Section 4 hereof) or nonfulfillment of any obligation of the Seller
under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall not be
obligated to indemnify the Purchaser in respect of any Losses unless, and only

Dollars ($25,000.00), and the indemnification obligations of the Seller in
respect of all Losses to the Purchaser shall be limited to the Purchase Price.
9.3 Indemnification by the Purchaser. Subject to all of the provisions

of this Agreement, hereby agrees to indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Seller and save and hold the Seller harmless from and

entitled to be defended, saved harmless or indemnified under this Section 9 (a
"Third Party Claim"), the party entitled to be defended and indemnified shall
notify the other party in writing concerning the same promptly after the
assertion or commencement thereof. Failure to provide such notice within thirty
(30) days after the assertion of any such written
- 14 -
claim or commencement of any such suit or proceeding shall relieve the other
party of its indemnification obligations hereunder if the other party is
prejudiced by such failure. The party obligated by this Section 9 to defend and
indemnify shall control the defense of any Third Party Claim and shall use its
reasonable efforts to defeat or minimize any Loss resulting from such Third
Party Claim. The party providing the defense shall provide the other party with
such information and opportunity for consultation as may reasonably be requested
by it. The party being defended and indemnified shall render all assistance as
shall reasonably be requested in the defense of any Third Party Claim.

(i) by mutual consent of the Purchaser, on the one
hand, and the Seller, on the other;
(ii) by the Purchaser or the Seller if the Closing shall
not have occurred by November 24, 2000; provided,
however, that the right to terminate this Agreement
under this Section 10 shall not be available to any
party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under
this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted
in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or
before such date;
(iii) by the Purchaser or the Seller if a court of
competent jurisdiction shall have issued an order,
decree or ruling permanently restraining, enjoining
or otherwise prohibiting the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and such order,
decree, ruling or other action shall have become
final and nonappealable;
(iv) by the Purchaser if the Seller (a) breaches its
representations and warranties in any material
respect, or (b) fails to comply in any material
respect with any of its covenants or agreements
contained herein; or

representations and warranties in any material
respect, or (b) fails to comply in any material
respect with any of its covenants or agreements
contained herein.
10.2 Obligations to Cease. In the event that this Agreement shall be
terminated pursuant to Section 10.1, all obligations of the parties hereto under

assessment, notice of deficiency, or other adjustment or proposed adjustment of
Taxes for any taxable period for which that party is charged with responsibility
for filing a Tax Return under this Agreement (collectively, "Tax Actions");
provided, however, that the Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the
other, shall not have the right to agree to any assessment, deficiency,
settlement, or other adjustment or proposed adjustment of Taxes that could
adversely affect the interests of the other without such other party's written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Seller and its representatives shall have access to any business records

purposes or other business purposes upon prior notice during regular business
hours. Such access shall include an opportunity to make photocopies of such
records.

herein to the contrary, the Purchaser hereby agrees that after the Closing and
until the later of (a) December 18, 2000 and (b) the commencement date of the

Facility in the same manner and to the same extent that it operated it prior to
the Closing and retain all accounts receivable arising from services it may
provide at the Facility during such period, and the Seller shall indemnify,
defend with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and save and hold
the Purchaser harmless from and against, and reimburse the Purchaser for, any
and all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by the Purchaser which shall
