----------------------------------------
warrants to Buyer as follows:
(a) Seller's Interests: Seller hereby represents and warrants that,
------------------
subject to subsection (i) below, Seller will transfer full and clear
title to the Assets by virtue of the Foreclosure Judgment, and that
Seller's interests in and to the Assets are senior and superior to
those of any third person or entity. Seller further warrants that
title to the Assets shall be delivered to Buyer free and clear of any
lien, interest, or encumbrance, and that no third person or entity has

(i) Xxxxxxxx Xxxx: . On or about February 5, 1997, Orbit Network
-------------
granted a security interest in all of its contract rights and
general intangible personal property to Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx (the
"Xxxxxxxx Xxxx"), which security interest also included
after-acquired assets. Seller makes the following representations
with respect to the Xxxxxxxx Xxxx:
(A) Seller will undertake Seller's best efforts in the Civil
Action to notify Xxxxxxxx of the pending Civil Action and to
foreclose the Xxxxxxxx Xxxx as a subordinate lien in
conjunction with the foreclosure sale of the Collateral in
the Civil Action; and
(B) To the extent that Xxxxxxxx successfully obtains a judgment
from a court of competent jurisdiction declaring the
Xxxxxxxx'x holds a security interest in the Assets which has
priority over Savoretti's security interest and that
Xxxxxxxx is entitled to levy upon and execute upon the
Assets in satisfaction of Xxxxxxxx'x priority lien, then
Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer as set forth in the
immediately following subparagraph (i)(C).
(C) In the event Xxxxxxxx successfully obtains a judgment from a
court of competent jurisdiction declaring that Xxxxxxxx
holds a security interest in the Assets which has priority
over Seller's security interest and that Xxxxxxxx is
entitled to levy upon and execute upon the Assets in
satisfaction of Xxxxxxxx'x priority lien, then Seller shall
indemnify Buyer from and against any amount payable to
Xxxxxxxx as a result of such action (through judgment,
settlement, or otherwise), to the extent that the Xxxxxxxx
Xxxx is not satisfied by the Account Proceeds described in
Section 4(h) of this Agreement (the "Xxxxxxxx
Indemnification"). Seller shall have the right to
participate in the defense of any action initiated by
Xxxxxxxx, and Buyer shall have the right to participate in
any such defense. If Seller or the Buyer are unable to
successfully defend any such action by Xxxxxxxx, and
Xxxxxxxx obtains a judgment
from a court of competent jurisdiction declaring that
Xxxxxxxx holds a security interest in the Assets which has
priority over Seller's security interest and that Xxxxxxxx
is entitled to levy upon and execute upon the Assets in
satisfaction of Xxxxxxxx'x priority lien, then Seller's
obligation to indemnify the Buyer from and against the
Xxxxxxxx Xxxx shall be limited to the following:
(1) To the extent that the Xxxxxxxx Xxxx is equal to or
less than $115,000, then the Account Proceeds shall
first be used to satisfy the Xxxxxxxx Xxxx. If the
Account Proceeds are insufficient to satisfy the amount
of the Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, then Seller shall then pay 100%
of the difference between the amount of the Xxxxxxxx
Xxxx not in excess of $115,000 and the amount of the
Account Proceeds; and
(2) If and to the extent that the Xxxxxxxx Xxxx exceeds
$115,000, then pay fifty percent (50%) of that portion
of the Xxxxxxxx Xxxx which exceeds $115,000.00 and the
Buyer shall be responsible to pay fifty percent (50%)
of that portion of the Xxxxxxxx Xxxx which exceeds
$115,000.00.
(ii) EVI Lien: Electric Ventures, Inc. ("EVI") was also a party
--------
to the Security Agreement between Orbit Network and Seller
concerning the Assets, and was granted a security interest
in the Assets thereby. Seller has been informed by both
XxxxxXxxxxx.xxx, Inc. and EVI that all cash amounts due to
EVI have been paid, and that any promised Orbit Network
share issuances have been effected. In reliance upon such
representations, the Seller represents and warrants that he
shall deliver the Assets free and clear of any claim by EVI.
(b) No Prior Pledge, Sale, or Assignment: As of the date of this
------------------------------------
Agreement, Seller has not sold, assigned or otherwise pledged all
or any portion of his right, title, and interest in and to the
Assets to any third person or entity, nor has Seller agreed to
any such sale, assignment, or pledge.

-------------
bankruptcy statute, nor can any trustee in bankruptcy or any
creditor of Seller lay claim to the Assets transferred in
accordance with this Agreement.

---------------
hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Buyer,
including its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, successors,
assigns, officers, directors, agents, and employees, from and
against the amount of any and all final judgments (including, but
not limited to, attorneys' fees, expert witness costs, court
costs, and expenses) that may be entered against the Buyer in any
forum, by
reason of Seller's failure to assign all of his right, title and
interest in and to the Assets being assigned and/or a breach by Seller
of the representations set forth in this Section 3.
(e) Assignment of Security Interest. Upon execution hereof, Seller shall
-------------------------------
execute five (5) separate copies of UCC-3 forms reflecting the
assignment of Seller's security interest in and to the Assets to the
Buyer, and provide the Buyer with such executed UCC-3 forms. In the
event any lien is hereafter asserted against the Assets following the
execution of this Agreement by any person or entity which is not a
party to this Agreement, and such lien does not have priority over or
is subordinate to Seller's purchase money security interest, then the
Buyer shall be entitled to exercise Seller's rights and remedies under
the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to such subordinate lien.
(f) No Warranty: Seller sells, transfers, conveys, assigns and delivers
-----------
the Assets to the Buyer "AS IS" and "WHERE IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS."

merchantability and the implied warranty of fitness for a particular
purpose.
