liabilities and obligations of the Company as and when the same become due and
payable to the extent provided herein (collectively, the "Assumed Obligations"):

offsets, expenses, refunds, credits and deductions which may reduce the
Company's tax liability (collectively, the "Tax Reductions"), in compliance with
the Internal Revenue Code. The

undertaking referred to in the immediately preceding clause (iii) is referred to
herein as the "Gains Tax Undertaking". The Gains Tax Undertaking shall be
guaranteed by BNYFC consistent with Section 9.3 hereof. Seller shall apply any
and all Tax Reductions in compliance with the Internal Revenue Code.

3.2 ASSUMED EXECUTORY CONTRACTS/PERMITS. As of the date
hereof, the Company is a party to certain executory leases, contracts and
licenses which are necessary to the conduct of the Business relating to the
Purchased Assets (the "Executory Contracts"). A list of the Executory Contracts
to be assumed by Purchaser is annexed hereto as Schedule "D." Seller shall take
all action reasonably necessary in order to assume and assign such specified
Executory Contracts to Purchaser, or its designees, in accordance with the
Bankruptcy Code. Upon entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Purchase Approval
Order, (i) such Executory Contracts shall be assumed by the Seller and assigned
to Purchaser, and such assumption and assignment shall be effective as of the
closing of the transactions contemplated hereby ("Assumed Executory Contracts")
and (ii) Purchaser shall assume the Assumed Executory Contracts and agree to
perform, comply with and be bound by all terms, conditions and covenants of the
Assumed Executory Contracts to be performed after the Closing, including without
limitation paying and discharging, as and when due, all amounts due under the
Assumed Executory Contracts after the Closing. The Seller shall pay all "cure"
amounts required to assume the Assumed Executory Contracts. Additionally, the
Company shall assign all Permits, to the extent permitted by law, which are
necessary to the conduct of the Business, to the Purchaser.

3.3 LIENS ON PURCHASED ASSETS. All of the Purchased Assets
shall be conveyed and/or assigned to Purchaser free and clear of all liens,
claims, encumbrances or interests in or upon the Purchased Assets, including but
not limited to those liens, claims and encumbrances previously granted by the
Company to BNYFC, except (i) liens held by BNYFC to secure indebtedness owed to
BNYFC if and only if BNYFC shall agree, in its sole and absolute discretion, to
allow Purchaser to assume some or all of the indebtedness due it from the
Company and BNYFC and Purchaser agree that the Purchased Assets shall be subject
to such liens, claims and encumbrances of BNYFC to secure such indebtedness (the
amount of which shall be deemed cash equivalent for purposes hereof), and (ii)
the Secured Tax Liens and the Gains Tax Undertaking, all in accordance with
Sections 363(f) and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, respectively. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) the Purchased Assets comprised of Equipment (as such term is
defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code) shall be conveyed to Purchaser
or its designees subject to any validly perfected purchase money security
interests; and (ii) Real Property shall be conveyed to Purchaser subject to the
consent decrees issued by state and local environmental agencies. Purchaser
shall pay any documentary stamp taxes due on the transfer of the real estate at
closing.

3.4 TAX PRORATIONS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser
does not assume any liability for any debt owed to a governmental unit for taxes
or other debts that became due and payable after December 31, 1998 except for
the Gains Tax Undertaking and as hereinafter set forth in this Section 3.4. All
personal property taxes, ad valorem taxes, real property taxes

and intangible taxes for calendar year 1999 shall be prorated on the Closing
Date based on the taxes paid for calendar year 1998. On the Closing Date Seller
shall deposit in a segregated account within the Company's bankruptcy estate an
amount equal to the Company's pro rata share of such 1999 taxes calculated in
accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (the "Estimated Tax
Amount"). Subject to any adjustment required pursuant to this section 3.4, the
entire Estimated Tax Amount shall be released to Purchaser, without further
order of the Bankruptcy Court, within 10 days after Purchaser presents to
Trustee a 1999 tax ▇▇▇▇. In the event the actual taxes due are more or less than
the estimated taxes escrowed, Purchaser and Seller shall adjust the amount due
to reflect actual taxes owed. In the event Purchaser appeals the 1999 real and
personal property tax assessments, Seller shall receive its pro rata portion of
any net reduction (after Purchaser's costs and expenses incurred in connection
with such appeal, including attorney's fees.)

3.5 NO OTHER LIABILITIES. Except as otherwise required in
connection with the assumption of the Assumed Executory Contracts, the Assumed
Obligations, the Gains Tax Undertaking and any other obligations agreed to in
this Agreement the Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser is not offering to
assume, and agrees that Purchaser shall not assume, any contracts, obligations
or liabilities of Seller, including, without limitation, obligations with
respect to taxes that do not constitute Secured Tax Liens, other than those
contracts, obligations, or liabilities that may be designated in writing to
Seller by Purchaser prior to the Closing.
