The exercise by any person of his right to demand and receive such indemnification shall not be deemed to prejudice, or to operate as a waiver of, any remedy to which such person may be entitled at law or equity.

EXHIBIT B

EXCEPTIONS TO ABSENCES OF CHANGES

*The Company has filed a lawsuit against Xxxxx Xxxxxx, the owner of approximately 0.4% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. A copy of the lawsuit and a full explanation have been provided to the Purchaser prior to the execution of this Agreement. The Agreement contemplates that her stock may be redeemed by the Company and the case settled before the Closing, although there is no assurance that such a settlement will be achieved. She presently owns 107,500 shares of the Common Stock of each Company.

*The Company has recently discovered its possible failure to comply with all filing requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") for taxable years prior to 2001, and comparable state and local laws, rules and regulations for the same periods, which may result in monetary penalties to the Company.

*The Company does not currently have an insurance policy covering sexual harassment and similar claims by employees against its clients.

*See updated information in the Executive Summary for the Company, a copy of which is attached to this Exhibit B and has been provided to the Purchaser.

*The Company issued $50,000 (and may issue up to an additional $200,000) of 12% convertible promissory notes in October 2001, copies of which have been provided to the Purchaser. As a condition of the Closing the Shareholders will cause the noteholders to agree to accept the equivalent amount of the Purchaser's Common Stock rather than the Company's Common Stock in the event of a conversion of the notes into equity, and will provide all the shares of the Purchaser's Common Stock to the noteholders that are necessary to accommodate any such conversion.
