(h) any agreement or commitment relating to the sale by the Company of any
fixed assets;

the Company upon completion of performance thereof, or any outstanding contract,
bid or sale or service proposal quoting prices which will not result in a normal
profit in the ordinary course of business;
(j) any grant by the Company or Seller of any power of attorney (whether

any person; or
(l) any commitment to do any of the acts or things specified in items (a)

4.14 Insurance. The Company maintains adequate insurance against all
ordinary and insurable risks with respect to all property, real, personal and
mixed, owned or leased by it. Schedule 4.14 annexed hereto contains a complete
list of all policies of insurance held by the Company, showing for each policy
(i) the owner, (ii) the coverage, (iii) the amount of premium properly allocable
thereto, (iv) the name of the insurer, (v) the termination date of the policy
and (vi) all claims made thereunder. All such policies are in full force and
effect, all premiums with respect thereto covering all periods up to and

4.15 ERISA. Schedule 4.15 contains a complete list and brief description of
each Employee Benefit Plan (as such term is defined in Section 3(3) of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA")),
established or maintained, or to which contributions have been made, by or for
the Company. With respect to all such Employee Benefit Plans the Company has not
engaged in a transaction which could subject it to any tax, penalty or liability
for prohibited transactions imposed by Section 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Neither the
Company nor any director or employee of the Company has breached any of the
responsibilities or obligations imposed upon such person as a fiduciary under
Title I of ERISA with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan. No Employee Benefit
Plan which is subject to Part 3 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA or Section 412
of the Code has an accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in Section 302 of
ERISA and Section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived. With respect to any
Employee Benefit Plan which is a defined benefit pension plan, as of the last
day of the most recent plan year the current value of plan assets exceeds the
actuarial present value of Benefit Commitments (as that term is used in Section
3 of ERISA) (as determined on the basis of the actuarial assumptions contained
in the Employee Benefit Plan's most recent actuarial valuation). No liability
(other than the annual payment of insurance premiums) to the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") has been or is expected to be incurred by the
Company with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan. The Company has not incurred
or expects to incur any withdrawal liability to any Multi-employer Plan (as that
term is used in Section 3 of ERISA). All Employee Benefit Plans have been
administered in compliance with ERISA and the Code. With respect to all Employee
Benefit Plans that are intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code, all
such Employee Benefit Plans are covered by a determination letter from the
Internal Revenue Service which opines that such Employee Benefit Plans satisfy
the requirements under Section 401(a) of the Code and nothing has occurred
subsequent to the issuance of any such letter that adversely affects any such
prior determination by the Internal Revenue Service. Complete and correct copies
of all Employee Benefit Plans have been furnished to Purchaser.
4.16 Brokers. There has been no broker or finder involved in any manner in
the negotiations leading up to the execution of this Agreement or the
consummation of any transactions contemplated hereby, and Seller, agrees to
indemnify Purchaser and JUNI against and hold Purchaser and JUNI harmless from
any claim made by any party for a broker's or finder's fee or other similar
payment based upon any agreements, arrangements or understanding made by Seller.
4.17 Transactions with Affiliates. Except as described in Schedule 4.17
annexed hereto, there are no loans, leases, royalty agreements, employment
contracts or any other agreement or arrangement, oral or written, between the
Company, on the one hand, and any past or present stockholder, officer,
employee, consultant or director of the Company or Seller (or any member of the
immediate family of such stockholder, officer, employee, consultant, director or
Seller), on the other hand.

the Seller as follows:
5.1 Organization and Good Standing. Purchaser is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
New York. JUNI is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Nevada.
5.2 Corporate Authority. Purchaser and JUNI have full authority to execute
and to perform this Agreement in accordance with its terms; the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby does not and will not result in a breach, violation or default or give
rise to an event which, with the giving of notice or after the passage of time,
would result in a breach, violation or default of any of the terms or provisions
of Purchaser's or JUNI's Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws or of any
indenture, agreement, judgment, decree or other instrument or restriction to
which Purchaser or JUNI is a party or by which Purchaser or JUNI may be bound or
affected; and this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation
enforceable against Purchaser and JUNI in accordance with its terms. The
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will have been duly
authorized by all required corporate action, and no authorization or approval,
whether of the stockholders or directors of Purchaser or JUNI or of governmental

warranties set forth in Sections 4.3, 4.4 and 4.6 shall survive and remain in

from and against the following: Any and all liabilities, losses, damages,
claims, costs and reasonable expenses suffered by Purchaser (whether awarded
against Purchaser or paid by Purchaser in settlement of a claim as provided in
Section 9.3 or otherwise suffered), resulting from any misrepresentation, breach
of any warranty, or non-fulfillment of any covenant, condition or agreement
respectively made by them which is contained in this Agreement or in any

hereof, no such claim for indemnification hereunder may be asserted until and
only to the extent that the aggregate amount of such claim or claims exceeds

9.3 Notice of Claim, Assumption of Defense and Settlement of Claims.
(a) Purchaser shall promptly give notice (an "Indemnification Notice") in
accordance with Section 11.1 hereof to Seller (the "Indemnitor") after Purchaser
shall have knowledge of any demands, claims, actions or causes of action
(singly, a "Claim" and hereinafter referred to collectively, as "Claims") which
might give rise to a Claim by Purchaser or JUNI against the Indemnitor, stating
the nature and basis of said Claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known.
A failure to give notice hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any
obligation hereunder unless such failure to give notice shall materially and
adversely affect the Indemnitor's ability to defend the Claim. After the
delivery of an Indemnification Notice certifying that Purchaser or JUNI has
incurred or had asserted against it any liabilities, claims, losses, damages,
costs or expenses for which indemnity may be sought in accordance with the terms
of this Article IX (the "Damages"), Purchaser shall make a claim in an amount

the case of any asserted Damages shall include Purchaser's reasonably estimated
cost of the defense thereof, hereinafter the "Estimated Defense Costs"), and the
Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse Purchaser for the Damages for which
Purchaser has incurred and not been indemnified. In the event the amount of such
Damages are not promptly reimbursed by the Indemnitor as aforesaid, the amount
of such unreimbursed Damages shall accrue interest at a rate equal to two
percent (2%) above the applicable prime rate of Citibank, N.A.
(b) With respect to any third party Claims made subsequent to the Closing

and at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor.
(2) Failure by the Indemnitor to notify Purchaser of its election to defend
any such action within 20 days after notice thereof shall have been given shall
be deemed a waiver by the Indemnitor of their right to defend and settle such
action. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any such Claim, its obligations
hereunder as to such Claim shall be limited to taking all steps necessary in the
defense or settlement of such Claim and to holding Purchaser and JUNI harmless
from and against any and all losses, damages, expenses and liabilities awarded
in any such proceeding or arising out of any settlement approved by the
Indemnitor or any judgment in connection with such Claim.
(3) The Indemnitor shall not, in the defense of any such Claim, consent to
the entry of any judgment (except with the prior written consent of Purchaser)
or enter into any settlement (except with the prior written consent of
Purchaser) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by
the claimant or the plaintiff to Purchaser and JUNI of a complete release from
all liability in respect of such Claim.
(4) If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of a Claim, Purchaser and
JUNI may defend against or settle such Claim in such manner as they may deem
appropriate, and the Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse Purchaser for all
expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by Purchaser and/or JUNI in connection
with the defense against and settlement of such Claim, as and when the same
shall be incurred by them. If no settlement of such Claim is made, the
Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse Purchaser and JUNI for or, at Purchaser's
option, pay the amount of any judgment rendered with respect to such Claim and
all expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by Purchaser in the defense against
such Claim.
9.4 Right to Set Off. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Agreement or any Exhibit hereto, in the event that Purchaser or JUNI shall
have a Claim against Seller which is asserted prior to the expiration dates set
forth in Section 9.1 hereof, for which Purchaser and JUNI have not been fully
and completely indemnified as contemplated above, Purchaser and/or JUNI shall
have the right to set off the amount of such Claim against Seller, so long as
such claim is asserted prior to the expiration dates set forth in Section 9.1
hereof, against any JUNI Shares or monies due to Seller. Purchaser shall be
entitled to suspend any such payments until its Claim is resolved, without
causing a breach of this Agreement.
9.5 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided to Purchaser and JUNI herein
shall be cumulative and shall not preclude Purchaser or JUNI from asserting any
other rights or seeking any other remedies against an Indemnitor or its
respective heirs, successors or assigns. The assertion or employment of any
right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent or
subsequent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

ARTICLE XI
INDEMNIFICATION BY PURCHASER AND JUNI
11.1 (a) Purchaser and JUNI each separately agree to indemnify and hold
Seller harmless from and against the following: Any and all liabilities, losses,
damages, claims, costs and reasonable expenses suffered by Seller (whether
awarded against Seller or paid by Seller in settlement of a claim as provided in
Section 11.2 or otherwise suffered), resulting from any misrepresentation,
breach of any warranty, or non-fulfillment of any covenant, condition or
agreement made by them which is contained in this Agreement or in any statement,
attachment, schedule, exhibit or certificate furnished or to be furnished by
them to Seller pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this
Article XI shall not extend to the obligation to provide funding under Article
VIII; and
(b) Any and all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments or
judgments, costs and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
incident to any of the foregoing.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsection (a) or (b)
hereof, no such claim for indemnification hereunder may be asserted until and
only to the extent that the aggregate amount of such claim or claims exceeds
$10,000.
11.2 Notice of Claim, Assumption of Defense and Settlement of Claims.
(a) Seller shall promptly give notice (an "Indemnification Notice") in
accordance with Section 12.1 hereof to Purchaser and JUNI (the "Indemnitor")
after Seller shall have knowledge of any demands, claims, actions or causes of
action (singly, a "Claim" and hereinafter referred to collectively, as "Claims")
which might give rise to a Claim by Seller against the Indemnitor, stating the
nature and basis of said Claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known. A
failure to give notice hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any
obligation hereunder unless such failure to give notice shall materially and
adversely affect the Indemnitor's ability to defend the Claim. After the
delivery of an Indemnification Notice certifying that Seller has incurred or had
asserted against it any liabilities, claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses
for which indemnity may be sought in accordance with the terms of this Article
XI (the "Damages"), Seller shall make a claim in an amount equal to the incurred
Damages or asserted Damages, as the case may be (which, in the case of any
asserted Damages shall include Seller's reasonably estimated cost of the defense
thereof, (the "Estimated Defense Costs"), and the Indemnitor shall promptly
reimburse Seller for the Damages for which Seller has incurred and not been
indemnified. In the event the amount of such Damages are not promptly reimbursed
by the Indemnitor as aforesaid, the amount of such unreimbursed Damages shall
accrue interest at a rate equal to two percent (2%) above the applicable prime
rate of Citibank, N.A.
(b) With respect to any third party Claims made subsequent to the Closing
Date, the following procedures shall be observed:
(1) Promptly after delivery of an Indemnification Notice in respect of a
Claim, the Indemnitor may elect, by written notice to the Seller, to undertake
the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Seller and at the
sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor.
(2) Failure by the Indemnitor to notify Seller of its election to defend
any such action within 20 days after notice thereof shall have been given shall
be deemed a waiver by the Indemnitor of their right to defend and settle such
action. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any such Claim, its obligations
hereunder as to such Claim shall be limited to taking all steps necessary in the
defense or settlement of such Claim and to holding Seller harmless from and
against any and all losses, damages, expenses and liabilities awarded in any
such proceeding or arising out of any settlement approved by the Indemnitor or
any judgment in connection with such Claim.
(3) The Indemnitor shall not, in the defense of any such Claim, consent to
the entry of any judgment (except with the prior written consent of Seller) or
enter into any settlement (except with the prior written consent of Seller)
which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the
claimant or the plaintiff to Seller of a complete release from all liability in
respect of such Claim.
(4) If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of a Claim, Seller may
defend against or settle such Claim in such manner as they may deem appropriate,
and the Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse Seller for all expenses, legal or
otherwise, incurred by Seller in connection with the defense against and
settlement of such Claim, as and when the same shall be incurred by them. If no
settlement of such Claim is made, the Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse Seller
for or, at Seller's option, pay the amount of any judgment rendered with respect
to such Claim and all expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by Seller in the
defense against such Claim.
11.3 Right to Set Off. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
in this Agreement or any Exhibit hereto, in the event that Seller shall have a
Claim against Purchaser and JUNI which is asserted prior to the expiration dates
set forth in Section 9.1 hereof, for which Seller has not been fully and
completely indemnified as contemplated above, Seller shall have the right to set
off the amount of such Claim against Purchaser or JUNI so long as such Claim is
asserted prior to the expiration dates set forth in Section 9.1 hereof, against
any Shares due to Purchaser hereunder. Seller shall be entitled to suspend any
such payments until its Claim is resolved, without causing a breach of this
Agreement.
11.4 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided to Seller herein shall be
cumulative and shall not preclude Seller from asserting any other rights or
seeking any other remedies against an Indemnitor or its respective heirs,
successors or assigns. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement
the day and date first above written.
