NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants
contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:
1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES.
----------------------------
1.1 Purchase and Sale of the Chai Shares. Upon the terms and subject to
------------------------------------
the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing (the "Closing"), as more fully
described below, Seller shall sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver the
Chai Shares to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase, acquire and accept the Chai
Shares from Seller.
1.2 Consideration for the Chai Shares. In consideration of the
---------------------------------
aforesaid sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and delivery of such Chai
Shares, at the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller and/or its designees a total
of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the "Purchase Price"). Buyer shall pay
the Purchase Price to the Seller and/or its designees at the Closing as follows:
Buyer shall pay $5,000,000 in cash at the Closing, less the deposit of
$278,761.07 referred to in Section 1.9 below, and Buyer shall deliver to the
Seller and/or its designees at the Closing, a negotiable promissory note
executed by the Buyer, payable to the order of the Seller and/or its designees,
in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 ("the Chai Promissory Note").
The Chai Promissory Note shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A, and incorporated herein by reference. The Chai Promissory Note shall
bear no interest and shall be payable $2,000,000 in the aggregate six (6) months
after Closing, and $3,000,000 in the aggregate ten (10) months after Closing.
The Chai Promissory Note shall be secured during the term thereof by an
Irrevocable Stand-by Letter of Credit (the "Letter of Credit"), with an
aggregate face amount equal to the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 and (ii) the then
outstanding principal aggregate amount of the Chai Promissory Note. The Letter
of Credit shall be issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to the Seller and on
such terms and in such
5
<PAGE>
form as attached hereto and made a part of Exhibit A annexed hereto and
incorporated herein by reference. The Letter of Credit shall include provisions
that the Letter of Credit shall be payable immediately upon a failure of the
Buyer to make any payment under the Chai Promissory Note when due. The parties
hereto further agree that Seller may request at or prior to the Closing that the
Chai Promissory Note be issued to Seller and/or its designees, such that more
than one Chai Promissory Note is to be issued by Buyer at Closing. In such an
event, each such Chai Promissory Note so issued will be for less than the
aggregate $5,000,000 principal amount referred to above, but all of such Chai
Promissory Notes together shall in the aggregate have a principal amount of
$5,000,000. In addition, corresponding Letters of Credit shall be issued to
Seller and/or its designees corresponding with such Chai Promissory Notes and
the terms thereof. For purposes of this Agreement, the term Chai Promissory Note
and Letter of Credit shall refer to the singular or plural of such instruments,
as the case may be. In addition, for purposes of this Agreement, the term
designees of Chai shall include the limited and general partners of Chai. The
parties hereto further acknowledge that it is the intention of the Seller and/or
its designees to enter into an agreement with the issuer (the "Issuer"), of the
Letter of Credit to provide that the Issuer will redeem and/or substitute such
Chai Promissory Note and/or Letter of Credit for cash upon such terms and
conditions as the Issuer and the Seller and/or its designees so agree. Seller
agrees to be responsible for any and all costs incurred as a consequence of any
such redemption or substitution of the Chai Promissory Note and/or Letter of
Credit. Buyer further acknowledges that Seller and/or its designees may, in lieu
of reaching an agreement with the Issuer, as aforesaid, seek to convert the Chai
Promissory Note into cash by assigning the same, together with the Letter of
Credit to a third person, including a financial institution other than the
Issuer. Buyer agrees to fully cooperate with Seller and Issuer, including any
third party as described above, with respect thereto, including without
6
<PAGE>
limitation, affording Seller and its designees access to Issuer prior to filing
or submitting any Letter of Credit application with Issuer. Except with respect
to the above-described redemption, substitution or assignment of the Chai
Promissory Note and/or Letter of Credit by Seller and/or its designees, the cost
of providing and maintaining such Letter of Credit shall be the sole
responsibility of Buyer.

aggregate $221,238.93, representing the aggregate par value for such shares of
Class A Common Stock, being issued to Century by Weitzer hereunder.

Note will be reduced by the par value cash consideration so paid. In addition,
and anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Weitzer
Shares being issued hereunder, the Century Promissory Note, and the aforesaid

and the aforesaid $221,238.93 cash par value payment shall be automatically
deemed part of the Deposit, as defined hereinafter, and shall be transferred in
accordance with Article VIII hereto. In the event of a Closing, the Weitzer
Shares shall be released to Century, and the Century Promissory Note and the
aforesaid cash par value payment shall be released to Weitzer. The escrow of the

shall be subject to the terms of that certain escrow agreement to be executed
and delivered as of the date hereof, and attached hereto and incorporated herein
by reference as Exhibit B. In addition, the parties hereto hereby agree that
Century shall execute and deliver its proxy to Harry Weitzer, in substantially
the form attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit C, and
which proxy shall provide that Harry Weitzer and/or his designees shall have the
sole right to vote such Weitzer Shares during such time that such Weitzer Shares
are maintained in escrow. The parties hereto hereby agree that in the event such
proxy is held to be invalid or its validity is challenged by Century or its
designees, then at the sole discretion of Seller, this Agreement shall be
terminate, as provided hereinafter. In addition, pending Closing, without the
prior written approval of Seller, Buyer hereby agrees not to, directly or
indirectly, take any action which would require any vote of the Company's
shareholders, except for the proxy statement referred to hereinafter. Buyer
further agrees that Buyer will not take any action, directly or indirectly, to
challenge the validity of such proxy.

2.9 Assets. Weitzer and the Weitzer subsidiaries have good and
--- -------
marketable title, free and clear of all liens (except for any such liens granted
in favor of Weitzer's lenders or mechanics or other types of construction liens
arising in the ordinary course of business), to all of their respective assets,
including all real property (except for such easements, reservation of rights
and other conditions set forth in such title policies relating to such real
property, and which title policies have previously been delivered to Buyer).
Weitzer and the Weitzer subsidiaries currently maintain insurance in amounts,
scope, and coverage which, in the reasonable opinion of Management of Weitzer,
are adequate for the operations of Weitzer and the Weitzer subsidiaries.
Neither Weitzer nor any of the Weitzer subsidiaries has received notice from any
insurance carrier that (i) such insurance will be canceled or that coverage
thereunder will be reduced or eliminated, or (ii) premium costs with respect to
such policies of insurance will be substantially increased. There are presently
no claims pending under any such policies of insurance and no notices have been
given by Weitzer or any of the Weitzer subsidiaries under such policies, except
as may be given with respect to any litigation matters disclosed hereunder, in
the public filings of Weitzer with the SEC, and in the Schedules attached
hereto.

development projects of Weitzer or of any Weitzer subsidiary, and includes the
total number of units under development and the total units remaining unsold as
of the date of this Agreement (hereinafter referred to individually or
collectively as the "Development Project(s)"). With respect to each Development
Project:
(1) there exists no default, nor to the knowledge of Weitzer, is
it reasonably likely that there will be a default, under the terms of any
construction loan agreement, mortgage, promissory note, guaranty, or other loan
document relating to the Development Projects (except for any consents required
in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder);
(2) to the knowledge of Weitzer, there are no actions, suits,
liens, lis pendens, or other proceedings, of any kind or nature whatsoever,
pending or threatened against Weitzer or the Weitzer subsidiaries which may
affect the successful construction and sale of the residences comprising each
Development Project;
(3) To the knowledge of Weitzer, there are no violations or
notices of violations of any federal or state law or municipal ordinance or
order or requirement of the city or county in which the Development Projects are
located or any municipal department or other governmental authority having
jurisdiction affecting the Development Projects, which violation in any way
materially relates to or materially affects the Development Projects;
20
<PAGE>

for the construction of residences or other improvements as required or
contemplated in each Development Project and the operation and use thereof for

of residences or other improvements as stated in Schedule 2.10 from the
appropriate federal, state and local governmental entities or will obtain all

plan, final plat approval from the appropriate governmental entity, approval for
water and sewer capacity and service, concurrency approvals, permits and/or
impact fee payments to the applicable water management districts, approval
and/or payment of applicable school board impact fees, and any other permit or
approval required to obtain final certificates of occupancy or of completion for
each Development Project;
(6) To the best of Weitzer's knowledge, if any of the
Development Projects are located within federal or state jurisdictional
wetlands, as such term is defined under applicable state and federal law, all
permits, and other developmental approvals necessary for the construction of
residences upon jurisdictional wetlands have been obtained, and all mitigation
fee payments have been made to the State of Florida, the applicable water
management district or the United States Army Corps of Engineers; and
(7) To the best of Weitzer's knowledge, if Weitzer or a
Weitzer subsidiary has entered into a binding agreement or contract with any
contractor, subcontractor, materialman or supplier, said agreement or contract
is not material to the operations of Weitzer and
21
<PAGE>
does not encompass the provision of labor or the performance of services which
cannot be terminated after giving notice of such termination by Weitzer of not
more than three (3) months.
2.11 Environmental Matters. To the best of Weitzer's knowledge,
---- ----------------------
the environmental studies conducted at the time of any loan entered into in
connection with the acquisition of real property by Weitzer are true and
correct, and copies of said reports have been made available to Buyer. In
addition, to the best of Weitzer's knowledge, since the date of such studies,
Weitzer is not aware of any facts or events, including any spills of
environmentally hazardous materials on such properties, which would render such
studies materially untrue or materially incorrect in any material fashion as of
the date hereof.
2.12 Compliance With Laws.
---- --------------------
(1) To the best of Weitzer's knowledge, Weitzer and the Weitzer
subsidiaries have at all times operated in all material respects and are
presently in compliance in all material respects with all material applicable
federal, state, local, foreign or other laws, rules, regulations, guidelines,
orders, injunctions, building and other codes, ordinances, permits and licenses,
authorizations, judgments, decrees of federal, state, local, foreign or other
authorities, and all material orders, writs, decrees and consents of any
governmental or political subdivision or agency thereof, or any court or similar
entity established by any such governmental or political subdivision or agency
thereof (collectively, the "Laws"), except where any such non-compliance would
not result in any Material Adverse Effect on Weitzer.
(2) To the best of Weitzer's knowledge, Weitzer has not received
any notification or communication from any agency or department of federal,
state, or local government or any regulatory authority or the staff thereof (i)
asserting that Weitzer or any of the Weitzer subsidiaries is not in material
compliance with any of the Laws or orders which such governmental authority or
22
<PAGE>
regulatory authority enforces, except for such non-compliance which would not be
reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect on Weitzer, (ii) threatening to revoke any material permits, or (iii)
requiring Weitzer or any of the Weitzer subsidiaries to enter into or consent to
the issuance of a cease and desist order, formal agreement, directive,
commitment, or memorandum of understanding, or to adopt any corporate resolution
or similar undertaking, which restricts materially the conduct of the Company's
business, or in any manner relates to the Company's capital adequacy, the
Company's credit or reserve policies, the Company's management, or the payment
of dividends by the Company.
2.13 Licenses and Permits. To the best of Weitzer's knowledge,
---- --------------------
Weitzer and the Weitzer subsidiaries have obtained, have paid for and have in
full force and effect all material licenses, franchises, permits, approvals,
certificates, certifications and other authorizations from all applicable
governmental authorities which are necessary for the conduct of the Company's
business as currently conducted and the ownership, use, occupancy and operation
of the Company's assets (the "Licenses and Permits"). Renewal of each of the
Licenses and Permits has been, or will be as of the Closing, timely applied for
to the extent required under all Laws, and to the extent appropriate to protect
renewal rights thereunder. To the best of Weitzer's knowledge, there is no fact
or event which is likely to prevent the renewal of any of the Licenses and
Permits under existing Law or which, with the passage of time or the giving of
notice or both, is likely to constitute a material violation of the terms of any
of the Licenses and Permits or of any applications or agreements made in
connection therewith. No action or proceeding is pending or, to the best of the
Weitzer's knowledge, threatened which could result in the revocation,
cancellation, suspension, material modification or limitation of any of the
Licenses and Permits. To the best of Weitzer's knowledge, Weitzer and the
Weitzer subsidiaries are not delinquent, which would have a Material Adverse
23
<PAGE>
Effect on Weitzer, in the payment of any monies for the Licenses and Permits
which have been granted to any of them. The representations made in this Section
2.13 are qualified to the extent that any failure of the same shall not affect
the rights and obligations of the parties hereto unless such failure shall,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on Weitzer.
2.14 Labor Difficulties. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.14,
---- ------------------
which, individually or in the aggregate, shall not have a Material Adverse
Effect on Weitzer and its subsidiaries, (i) Weitzer and the Weitzer subsidiaries
are not parties to a union agreement or collective bargaining agreement and to
the best of Weitzer's knowledge, no attempt to organize any employees of
Weitzer and the Weitzer subsidiaries has been made, proposed or threatened; (ii)
there is no labor strike, formal labor dispute, formal labor grievance, labor
arbitration proceeding, general slowdown or stoppage, or charge of unfair labor
practice pending before a court, regulatory body or arbitration tribunal, or, to
the best of Weitzer's knowledge, no event has occurred which would constitute
reasonable grounds for such a strike, formal dispute, formal grievance,
proceeding or charge; (iii) to the best of Weitzer's knowledge, no union
representation question exists respecting any employees of Weitzer and the
Weitzer Subsidiaries; (iv) to the best of Weitzer's knowledge, there are no
charges or complaints of discrimination or sexual harassment pending before the
United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other federal,
state, local or foreign agency or tribunal against Weitzer and the Weitzer
subsidiaries; and (v) to the best of Weitzer's knowledge, Weitzer and the
Weitzer subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all
federal, state and local labor and employment-related laws. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no representation or warranty is hereby given as to the effect that
the negotiation, execution and/or consummation of this Agreement would have on
Weitzer's and its subsidiaries' relationships with its employees and/or agents.
24
<PAGE>
Weitzer shall use its reasonable efforts to retain its employees between the

occurrence or impending occurrence of any event or circumstance relating to it
or any of its affiliates which (i) is reasonably likely to have, individually or

or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, or

breach.

-------
required to be filed by it with the SEC between the date of this Agreement and
the Closing Date and, to the extent permitted by law, shall deliver to the other

38
<PAGE>
6.6 Agreement as to Efforts to Consummate. Subject to the terms and
-------------------------------------
conditions of this Agreement, each party hereto hereby agrees to use, and to
cause its affiliates to use, its reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be
taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary,
proper, or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective, as
soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Each party shall use, and shall cause each of
its affiliates to use, its reasonable efforts to obtain all consents necessary
or desirable for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
6.7 Investigation and Confidentiality.
---------------------------------
(1) Weitzer and Chai agree to cooperate with Buyer and to provide to
Buyer and its representatives with such books, records, documents, information
and other material reasonably requested by Buyer or its representatives,
provided, however, that any and all of such requests must be directed directly
to Harry Weitzer or Michael Ambrosio. Buyer hereby agrees that Buyer shall not
contact any employees, consultants, suppliers or customers of Weitzer without
the prior written approval of Harry Weitzer.
(2) Confidentiality. Buyer shall hold in strict confidence, and shall
---------------
cause its directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents to hold in
strict confidence, any information which they, or any of them, receive in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in accordance
with and subject to the terms of the confidentiality agreement, dated as of
October 14, 1998 between Buyer and the Company (the "Confidentiality
Agreement").
6.8 Press Releases. Prior to the Closing Date, Weitzer, Chai
--------------
and Buyer shall consult with each other as to the form and substance of any
press release or other public disclosure material related to this Agreement or
any other transaction contemplated hereby, and each party agrees that
39
<PAGE>
neither party shall issue any press release relating to the signing of this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby prior to receiving the consent
of the other parties hereto; provided, that nothing herein shall be deemed to
prohibit any party from making any disclosure which its counsel deems necessary
or advisable in order to satisfy such party's disclosure obligations imposed by
applicable law and/or regulation.
6.9 Certain Actions. Except with respect to this Agreement and the
---------------
transactions contemplated hereby, after the date of this Agreement and prior to
any termination hereof, neither Weitzer nor Chai nor any of its representatives
shall directly or indirectly solicit any proposal from any third party to
purchase a controlling equity interest in Weitzer.
6.10 Director's and Officers Insurance'. For six (6) years after the
----------------------------------
Closing, Buyer shall cause the Company to maintain in effect tail insurance
coverage providing directors' and officers' liability insurance covering those
persons who are currently covered by the Company's directors' and officers'
liability insurance policy to the extent that it provides coverage for events
occurring on or prior to the Closing (a copy of which has been heretofore
delivered to Buyer), so long as the aggregate premium therefor would not be in
excess of $35,000, after calculating the total amount of such premium, currently
estimated to be approximately $98,000, less any and all refunds, rebates,
discount, credits and/or offsets from such premiums as a result of the
termination of the Company's current directors' and officers' liability
insurance policy and the transformation thereof to such tail insurance,
currently estimated to be approximately $70,000. If such aggregate premiums for
such tail insurance would at any time exceed $35,000, as described above and
after giving effect to such refunds, rebates, discounts, credits and/or
offsets, then the Company shall, at the election of Harry Weitzer (or, if he is
unable to act, Michael Ambrosio), either (i) cause to be maintained policies of
tail insurance which provide the maximum coverage available at an aggregate
premium equal to
40
<PAGE>
$35,000, as described above; or (ii) accept payment from Harry Weitzer (or such
other persons as may be designated by him or Michael Ambrosio) of the difference
between the aggregate premium and said $35,000 threshold, and apply such amount,
together with the maximum premium required to be paid by the Company hereunder,
to maintain such policies in effect. In addition, the Company hereby agrees to
maintain, and Century hereby agrees to cause the Company to so maintain,
directors and officers insurance for those members of the Board of Directors of
the Company who continue to serve as members of the Company's Board of Directors
subsequent to the Closing Date, in such amounts as at least equal to the
coverage currently maintained by the Company, and the afore-described six year
period of time shall be extended for such persons such that such time period
shall commence as of the date such persons cease serving on the Company's Board
of Directors.
6.11 Consulting Agreement. Harry Weitzer shall enter into a five
---- --------------------
(5) month consulting agreement with Weitzer commencing as of the Closing Date
based upon a monthly compensation amount of Twenty Nine Thousand One Hundred
Sixty Seven Dollars ($29,167) and containing such other provisions as set forth
on Exhibit F, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
6.12 Change of Company Name. Buyer shall cause Weitzer to change
---- ----------------------
its name by amending the charter documents of Weitzer within twelve (12) months
after the Closing Date to a name which does not include the name "Weitzer" in
any form. Prior to such time and within five (5) days of the Closing Date,
Weitzer shall commence doing business and shall do business solely under a
fictitious name that does not include the name "Weitzer" in any form, and shall
file such documents as are required to be filed by the State of Florida in
connection with fictitious name filings within such five (5) day time period.
6.13 Restructuring of Transaction at Request for Century. Prior to the
---- ---------------------------------------------------
Closing, if Century is advised by its counsel, accountants or other
representatives, that it would be in its interests
41
<PAGE>
for business, tax or legal reasons that the transactions contemplated hereunder
be restructured as a merger or other business combination, the parties hereto
shall use their reasonable efforts to restructure the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement as long as the Closing is not delayed and provided further
that the rights and obligations of the parties hereto are not materially
altered, and provided further that Century shall be solely responsible for all
costs incurred in connection with any such restructuring.

---------------------------------
8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions
-----------
contemplated hereby may be abandoned, as follows:
(1) at any time, by mutual written agreement of Chai, Weitzer, and
Buyer; or
(2) in the event of a material breach or breaches of the Agreement's
material covenants, the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement by
delivery of a written notice to the other party advising it of such termination;
or
(3) in the case of a material inaccuracy of any material
representation or warranty of the other party which cannot be or has not been
cured within thirty (30) days (or such shorter period of time if the Closing is
to occur prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period) after notice
thereof to the party making such representation or warranty; or
44
<PAGE>
(4) in the event any necessary consent from any third party or
any applicable governmental agency or authority, shall have been withdrawn or
not given as of the Closing Date; or
(5) the Closing shall have not occurred by August 2, 1999, or
shall have not occurred by any mutually agreed upon Closing Date hereunder.
8.2 Procedure and Effect of Termination. In the event of the
-----------------------------------
termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the transactions
contemplated hereby pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof, this Agreement shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect; and, upon the giving of such
notice, the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned, without further
action by Chai, Weitzer, or Century, and no party to this Agreement shall have
any further liability or obligation hereunder (except as otherwise set forth in
this Agreement). Upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1
hereof:
(1) Century shall promptly return all non-public documents and
other materials (and all copies thereof) obtained from Chai or Weitzer relating
to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether so obtained before or after the
execution hereof, to the party furnishing the same, and all confidential
information received by Century with respect to the Weitzer shall be treated in
accordance with confidentiality agreement referred to herein;
(2) At the option of Chai and/or Weitzer, any and all filings,
applications and other submissions made pursuant hereto shall, to the extent
practicable, be withdrawn from the governmental entity or other person to which
made;
(3) The confidentiality agreement described above shall survive
any termination of this Agreement; and
45
<PAGE>
(4) The Weitzer Shares shall be released from escrow and
delivered to Weitzer, and the Century Promissory Note shall be returned to
Century; provided, however, that the par share cash consideration shall be
released from escrow and deemed part of the Deposit, and shall be transferred
with the Deposit in accordance with Section 8.3 hereto.
8.3 Liability. In the event of termination as set forth above, this
---------
Agreement shall become null and void, and the liability of the parties hereto to
each other shall be determined as set forth below. In the event that Century
shall be the defaulting or breaching party hereunder and said Agreement is
terminated, in accordance with Section 8.2 above, as a result thereof, then
Weitzer shall be permitted to retain the Deposit (plus interest earned thereon)
as the exclusive remedy hereunder. The parties hereto hereby agree and
acknowledge that the retention of said Deposit does not constitute a penalty,
but represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the Company's damages as a
consequence of the Agreement being terminated. In the event that Weitzer and/or
Chai shall be the defaulting or breaching party hereunder and said Agreement is
terminated, in accordance with Section 8.2 above, as a result thereof, then the
Deposit (plus interest earned thereon) shall be returned to Century. In
addition, in the event of said termination as a result of Weitzer and/or Chai
being the breaching party of a representation or warranty hereunder, and Weitzer
and/or Chai intentionally breached such representation or warranty, or in the
event Weitzer and/or Chai intentionally determines not to proceed hereunder
toward Closing (provided that such decision is not based upon any breach or
default of Century hereunder) then Weitzer shall pay Century the aggregate sum
of $500,000 as Century's exclusive remedy against Weitzer and Chai hereunder (in
addition to the return of the Deposit as described above). In the event the
aforesaid $500,000 payment to Century by Weitzer is solely the result of an
intentional breach by Chai or an intentional
46
<PAGE>
determination not to proceed to Closing being made solely by Chai, then Chai
shall reimburse Weitzer the $500,000 that Weitzer is obligated to pay Century
hereunder. The parties hereto hereby agree and acknowledge that the payment of
said $500,000 does not constitute a penalty, but represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of Century's damages as a consequence of the Agreement being
terminated. In addition, in the event that this Agreement is terminated solely
as a result of the Company effectuating a transaction with a third party within
six months subsequent to the date hereof, then the parties hereto hereby agree
that in lieu of Weitzer paying Century liquidated damages of $500,000, as
aforesaid, that Century shall be entitled to the return of its Deposit and
liquidated damages in the amount of $1,000,000, as Century's exclusive remedy
for the transaction not being consummated as contemplated by the terms of this
Agreement. In the event the Closing is not effectuated and this Agreement is
terminated in accordance with Section 8.2 hereto, and said termination is not
the result of a breach or default by any party hereto, then the Deposit and
earned interest thereon, shall be released to Century. The parties hereto
further agree that the failure or inability to obtain the consent of the
Company's banks, as required hereunder, shall not be deemed a default or breach
by any party hereto.
8.4 Costs. If any legal action or other proceeding is brought for the
-----
enforcement of this Agreement or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default,
or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement,
the successful or prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to recover
reasonable attorney's fees and all other costs incurred in such action or
proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it or they may be entitled,
through and including all appeals.

9.9 Interpretation. The article and section headings contained in
--- --------------
this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the

such registration statement relates to an underwritten offering and such
managing underwriter of such offering advises Weitzer or Century that it cannot
