                                  ARTICLE VIII
                              ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

      SECTION 8.1 EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS.

            (a)   Effective  immediately  before the Closing Date,  Seller shall
novate  any  employment  agreements  it may have to the  Buyer  (the  "AVAILABLE
EMPLOYEES")  and shall release such  Available  Employees from the provisions of
any restrictive covenants and/or agreements with Seller with respect to Buyer so
as to enable Buyer to employ such individuals.

            (b)   It is  understood  and agreed that (i) any offer of employment
made by Buyer as  referenced  in SECTION  8.1(A) above will not  constitute  any
commitment,  contract or understanding  (expressed or implied) of any obligation
on the part of Buyer to a post-Closing Date employment relationship of any fixed
term or duration or upon any terms or conditions other than those that Buyer may
establish  pursuant to  individual  offers of  employment;  and (ii)  employment
offered by Buyer is "at will" and may be  terminated  by Buyer or by an employee
at anytime for any reason  (subject to any written  commitments  to the contrary
made by Buyer).

            (c)   Seller  will be  responsible  for (i) the payment of all wages
and other  remuneration  due to its Employees  with respect to their services as
employees of Seller through the close of business on the Closing Date,  provided
however,  the Buyer shall be responsible  for any salaries  accrued for a period
not to exceed ten working  days prior to the Closing  Date for any  employees of

Date.

      SECTION  8.2  PAYMENT  OF TAXES  RESULTING  FROM SALE OF ASSETS BY SELLER.

of taxes pursuant to SECTION 8.2,  Seller shall pay, or make adequate  provision
for the  payment,  in  full  of all of the  Retained  Liabilities.  If any  such
Retained  Liabilities  are not so paid or provided  for, or if Buyer  reasonably
determines  that  failure  to make  any  payments  will  impair  Buyer's  use or
enjoyment  of the  Assets or conduct of the  business  of the Seller  previously
conducted  using the Assets,  Buyer may at any time after the Closing Date elect
to make all such  payments  directly  or through  the escrow  (but shall have no
obligation to do so) and will be promptly reimbursed therefor by Seller.


                                      -20-


      SECTION 8.4 COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE.

            (a)   In  consideration  of the Purchase  Price to be received under
this  Agreement,  Seller agrees that,  for a period of three (3) years after the
Closing Date, it shall not directly or indirectly, do any of the following:

                  (i) engage in, or invest in, own,  manage,  operate,  finance,
control,  be employed by,  associated  with or in any manner  connected with, or
render  services or advice or other aid to, any person engaged in or planning to
become engaged in, or any other business whose products or activities compete in
whole or in part with,  the  business of Buyer,  or any  business  carried on by
Buyer utilizing the Assets, anywhere within the continental United States;

                  (ii)  induce or  attempt to induce  any  employee  of Buyer to
leave the employ of Buyer,  in any way interfere with the  relationship  between
Buyer and any employee of Buyer,  or solicit,  offer  employment  to,  otherwise
attempt  to hire,  employ,  or  otherwise  engage  as an  employee,  independent
contractor, or otherwise, any such employee; or

                  (iii)  induce or  attempt  to  induce  any  person  that was a
customer,  client or  business  relation of Buyer at any time during the one (1)
year period  preceding the Closing Date to cease doing  business with Buyer,  in
any way interfere  with the  relationship  between Buyer and any such  customer,
client or  business  relation,  or solicit the  business  of any such  customer,
client or business relation.

            (b)   Seller  acknowledges that all of the foregoing  provisions are
reasonable and are necessary to protect and preserve the value of the Assets and
to prevent  any  unfair  advantage  being  conferred  on  Seller.  If any of the
covenants set forth in this SECTION 8.4 are held to be unreasonable,  arbitrary,
or against public policy,  the restrictive  time period herein will be deemed to
be the  longest  period  permissible  by law  under  the  circumstances  and the
restrictive  geographical  area herein  will be deemed to  comprise  the largest
territory permissible by law under the circumstances.


      SECTION 8.5 CUSTOMER AND OTHER BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS.  After the Closing,
Seller shall use its  reasonable  efforts to cooperate with Buyer in its efforts
to continue and maintain for the benefit of Buyer those  business  relationships
of Seller  existing  prior to the  Closing and  relating  to the  business to be
operated by Buyer  after the  Closing,  including  relationships  with  lessors,
employees,  regulatory authorities,  licensors, customers, suppliers and others,
and Seller  will  satisfy  the  Retained  Liabilities  in a manner  which is not
detrimental  to any of such  relationships.  Seller  will  refer  to  Buyer  all
inquiries  relating to the Business.  Neither  Seller nor any of its officers or
employees,  shall take any action  which would tend to diminish the value of the
Assets after the Closing or which would  interfere with the business of Buyer to
be engaged in after the Closing.

      SECTION 8.6 RETENTION AND ACCESS TO RECORDS. After the Closing Date, Buyer
shall retain for a period of seven (7) years those  records of Seller  delivered
to Buyer.  Buyer also shall provide Seller and a representative  of the Seller's


                                      -21-


stockholders  reasonable access thereto,  during normal business hours and on at
least three (3) days' prior written notice,  to enable them to prepare financial
statements  or tax  returns or deal with tax  audits.  After the  Closing  Date,
Seller shall  provide  Buyer and Buyer's  representatives  reasonable  access to
records that are Excluded  Assets,  during normal business hours and on at least
three (3) days'  prior  written  notice,  for any  reasonable  business  purpose
specified by Buyer in such notice.

                                   TERMINATION

      SECTION 9.1  TERMINATION  EVENTS.  This  Agreement  may be  terminated  by
written  notice  given  prior to or at the  Closing,  subject to SECTION  9.2 as
follows:

            (a)   by Buyer or Seller if a material  breach of any  provision  of
this  Agreement  has been  committed  by the other party and such breach has not
been waived by the non-breaching party;

            (b)   by Buyer if any condition in Article VI has not been satisfied
as of the  date  specified  for  Closing  Date;  or if  satisfaction  of  such a
condition by such date is or becomes  impossible (other than through the failure
of Buyer to comply with its obligations under this Agreement).

            (c)   by  Seller,  if any  condition  in  Article  VII has not  been
satisfied as of the date specified for Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a
condition by such date is or becomes  impossible (other than through the failure
of Seller to comply with its  obligations  under this  Agreement) and Seller has
not waived such condition on or before such date;

            (d)   by mutual consent of Buyer and Seller; or

            (e)   by Buyer or  Seller  if the  Closing  has not  occurred  on or
before  March 15,  2007 or such later date as the  parties  may agree upon or as
provided  herein,  unless the party giving notice of  termination is in material
breach of this Agreement.

      SECTION 9.2 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Each party's right of termination under
SECTION 9.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this  Agreement
or  otherwise,  and the  exercise  of such right of  termination  will not be an
election of remedies.  If the Agreement is  terminated  pursuant to SECTION 9.1,
subject to Article X, all  obligations  of the parties under this Agreement will
terminate.


                                      -22-


                                    ARTICLE X
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

      SECTION 10.1 SURVIVAL.  All representations,  warranties,  covenants,  and
obligations  in  this  Agreement,   the  Schedules   attached  hereto,  and  the
certificates delivered pursuant to SECTION 1.7, will survive the Closing and the
consummation  of the  transactions  contemplated  hereby for a period of two (2)
years.  Except  as  otherwise  provided  herein  the  right to  indemnification,
reimbursement,  or  other  remedy  based  on such  representations,  warranties,
covenants,  and obligations will not be affected by any investigation  conducted
with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) about,
the accuracy or  inaccuracy  of or  compliance  with,  any such  representation,
warranty,  covenant  or  obligation.   Buyer  is  not  aware  of  any  facts  or
circumstances  that would serve as the basis for a claim by Buyer against Seller
based upon a breach of any of the  representations  and warranties of the Seller
contained in this Agreement or breach of any of Seller's covenants or agreements
to be performed  at or prior to Closing.  Buyer will be deemed to have waived in
full any breach of any of Seller's  representations  and warranties and any such
covenants and agreements of which Buyer has awareness at the Closing.

      SECTION 10.2  INDEMNIFICATION  AND REIMBURSEMENT BY SELLER..  Seller shall
indemnify and hold harmless  Buyer,  and its directors,  stockholders,  members,
partners,  employees,  representatives,  and  agents  (collectively,  the "BUYER
INDEMNIFIED  PERSONS"),  and shall reimburse the Buyer Indemnified  Persons, for
any loss, liability,  claim, damage or expense (including costs of investigation
and  defense  and  reasonable  attorneys'  fees  and  expenses)  whether  or not
involving a third-party claim (collectively,  "DAMAGES"),  arising,  directly or
indirectly, from or in connection with:

            (a)   any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in
this Agreement, or the certificates delivered pursuant to SECTION 1.7;

            (b)   any breach of any  covenant  or  obligation  of Seller in this
Agreement;

            (c)   any Retained Liabilities;

            (d)   any  liabilities  that arise after  Closing and are in any way
related to the Assets or the conduct of Seller's business; and

            (e)   any Federal and State tax liens

      SECTION  10.3  INDEMNIFICATION  AND  REIMBURSEMENT  BY BUYER.  Buyer shall
indemnify and hold harmless  Seller and its directors,  stockholders,  partners,
employees,  representatives,  and agents (collectively,  the "SELLER INDEMNIFIED
PERSONS"),  and shall reimburse the Seller  Indemnified  Persons for any Damages
arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with:

            (a)   any breach of any  representation or warranty made by Buyer in
this Agreement or in any certificate or document  delivered by Buyer pursuant to
this Agreement;

            (b)   any  breach of any  covenant  or  obligation  of Buyer in this
Agreement or in any other document,  writing,  or instrument  delivered by Buyer
pursuant to this Agreement; and

            (c)   the Assumed Liabilities.


                                      -23-


      SECTION 10.4 TIME LIMITATIONS.

            (a)   Seller will have no  indemnification  liability for the breach
of any  representation  or warranty set forth in Article II, unless on or before
the second  anniversary of the Closing Date,  Buyer notifies  Seller of a breach
specifying  the factual basis of that breach in reasonable  detail to the extent
then known by Buyer and providing a reasonable  opportunity  to cure;  PROVIDED,
HOWEVER,  that any claim  with  respect  to Section  2.8  taxes,  2.10  employee
benefits,  or 2.11 environmental matters may be made at any time, subject to the
applicable period of statute of limitations.

            (b)   Buyer will have no indemnification liability for the breach of
any representation or warranty set forth in Article III, unless on or before the
second  anniversary  of the  Closing  Date,  Seller  notifies  Buyer of a breach
specifying  the factual basis of that breach in reasonable  detail to the extent
then known by Seller.

      SECTION 10.5 PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION - THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. If, after
the  Closing  Date,  either a Buyer  Indemnified  Person or  Seller  Indemnified
Person,  as  the  case  may  be  (the  "INDEMNITEE"),  receives  notice  of  any
third-party  claim or alleged  third-party  claim asserting the existence of any
matter of a nature as to which the  Indemnitee  is  entitled  to be  indemnified
under this Agreement,  the Indemnitee shall promptly notify Seller, or Buyer, as
the case may be (the  "INDEMNITOR"),  in writing with respect  thereto,  but the
failure  to  notify  the  Indemnitor  will not  relieve  the  Indemnitor  of any
liability  that it may have to an  Indemnitee,  except  to the  extent  that the
Indemnitor  demonstrates  that the defense of such action has been prejudiced by
the Indemnitee's failure to give such notice. The Indemnitor will have the right
to defend  against any such claim provided (a) that the  Indemnitor,  within ten
(10) days after the giving of such notice by Indemnitee,  notifies Indemnitee in
writing that (i) Indemnitor disputes such claim and gives reasons therefor,  and
(ii) Indemnitor will, at its own cost and expense, defend the same, and (b) such
defense is instituted and  continuously  maintained in good faith by Indemnitor.
Indemnitee  may,  if it so  elects,  designate  and pay for its own  counsel  to
participate  with the  counsel  selected  by  Indemnitor  in the conduct of such
defense.  Indemnitor  will not  permit  any lien or  execution  to attach to the
assets of Indemnitee as a result of such claim, and the Indemnitor shall provide
such bonds or  deposits  as are  necessary  to prevent  the same.  In any event,
Indemnitor will keep Indemnitee  fully advised as to the status of such defense.
If  Indemnitor  is given  notice  of a claim as  aforesaid  and  fails to notify
Indemnitee  of its  election  to defend  such claim  within the time  prescribed
herein,  or after  having  elected to defend such claim fails to  institute  and
maintain such defense as prescribed  herein,  or if such defense is unsuccessful
then, in any such event,  the  Indemnitor  shall fully satisfy and discharge the
claim  within  ten  (10)  days  after  notice  from  the  Indemnitee  requesting
Indemnitor  to do so. If the  Indemnitor  assumes  the  defense of any action or
proceeding (y) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the
Indemnitor  without the  Indemnitee's  consent unless (A) there is no finding or
admission of any  violation  of any legal  requirement  or any  violation of the
rights of any person and no effect on any other  claims that may be made against
the Indemnitee,  and (B) the sole relief  provided is monetary  damages that are
paid in full by the  Indemnitor;  and (z) the Indemnitee  will have no liability
with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its
consent.


                                      -24-


      SECTION 10.6  PROCEDURE FOR  INDEMNIFICATION  - OTHER CLAIMS.  A claim for
indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted
by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.
