AGREEMENT

THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1. Purchase of the Shares; Closing and Post-Closing Payments.

1.1 Purchase of the Shares. At the Closing (defined below), Seller shall sell and transfer the Shares to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase the Shares from Seller.

1.2 Purchase Price. Purchaser shall pay to Seller the purchase price for the Shares, by means of wire transfer to an account designated by Seller at least 2 Business Days before the Closing. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) shall be paid in U.S. dollars and shall consist of the following amounts:

(a) to be paid at the Closing, the sum of US$1,000,000 (the “Closing Payment”); provided, however, that if the sum of US$1,000,000 exceeds the sum of Australian Dollars (“AU”) $1,366,000, calculated based on the exchange rate as quoted by the Reserve Bank of Australia (as reported in its related web site) for the day preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Exchange Rate”), then the Closing Payment shall be the sum of AU1,366,000, paid in U.S. Dollars based on such exchange rate;

(b) an amount, equal to the cash and cash equivalents of Cellegy Australia as of the Closing Date, in the absence of any dispute to be paid at the Closing in U.S. Dollars (based on the Closing Exchange Rate) (Amounts paid to Seller as provided in this clause 1.2(b) together with amounts paid to Seller pursuant to clause 1.2(c) below shall constitute repayment in full of the amount of the Loan, described in clause 5.7 below.);

1

(c) an amount equal to the amount of inventory, raw materials and packaging supplies of Cellegy Australia that exist as of the Closing Date, based on the actual cost value of such items as reflected on Cellegy Australia’s books and records as determined in good faith by Seller, paid in U.S. dollars based on the Closing Exchange Rate. Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller to determine such amount no later than fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date, and such amount will, in the absence of any dispute, be paid within three (3) business days after Seller notifies Purchaser of the amount (Amounts paid to Seller as provided in this clause 1.2(c) together with amounts paid to Seller pursuant to clause 1.2(b) above shall constitute repayment in full of the amount of the Loan, described in clause 5.7 below.); and

(d) to be paid at Closing, an amount equal to U.S.$23,000.

1.3 Accounts Receivable. Purchaser must pay, in U.S. dollars based on the Closing Exchange Rate, an amount equal to the cash actually collected by Cellegy Australia after the Closing with respect to accounts receivable of Cellegy Australia that exist as of the Closing Date, minus a collection fee of 12.5% of the receivable collected, such amount to be paid within three (3) business days after each month with respect to the receivables collected during the preceding month. Purchaser agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to collect such accounts receivable at their full recorded amounts. Seller must give Purchaser all information in its possession or control as may be reasonably necessary to enable Purchaser to collect such accounts receivable, and Purchaser must provide such information to Seller as it may reasonably request concerning the amount collected from time to time from such receivables. Purchaser will not be obliged to commence legal proceedings for the recovery of any accounts receivable of Cellegy Australia and Seller must not, without Purchaser's prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, undertake any efforts to collect any such accounts receivable.

4. Acknowledgments and Indemnities.

4.1 Acknowledgments. Purchaser acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Seller and Cellegy Australia regarding the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of Cellegy Australia. Each party acknowledges that the other party does not make any representation or warranty concerning the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.2 Indemnities. (a) During the period of time that the representations and warranties of Purchaser and Seller survive as provided in clause 9 of this Agreement, Seller indemnifies Purchaser (for itself and as trustee for Cellegy Australia) against all proceedings, actions, claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (“Losses”) which may be made, brought against, suffered or incurred by Purchaser or Cellegy Australia, and arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with any of Seller's warranties or representations being untrue, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect, or any material breach of this Agreement by Seller that is not cured without loss to Purchaser within thirty (30) days of notice from Purchaser to Seller describing in reasonable detail the alleged breach. During the period of time that the representations and warranties of Purchaser and Seller survive as provided in clause 9 of this Agreement, Purchaser indemnifies Seller against all Losses which may be made, brought against, suffered or incurred by Seller, and arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with any of Purchaser's warranties or representations being untrue, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect, or any material breach of this Agreement by Purchaser that is not cured without loss to Seller within thirty (30) days of notice from Seller to Purchaser describing in reasonable detail the alleged breach.

(b) The indemnities contained in this clause are continuing, separate and independent obligations of the parties from their other obligations, and survive the termination of this Agreement, for the period provided in clause 9 of this Agreement for survival of representations and warranties of the parties.

(c) In no event shall either party be liable to the other party for punitive or consequential damages. The indemnification obligations in this Section shall be the sole remedy for either party arising from a breach by the other party of representations, warranties or covenants made in this Agreement.

(d) The indemnification provided for in this Section shall not apply unless and until the aggregate Losses for which one or more indemnified persons seeks or has sought indemnification hereunder exceeds a cumulative aggregate amount of $50,000 (the “Basket”), in which event the indemnification obligations shall apply to all Losses in excess of the Basket.

(e) A party seeking indemnification hereunder (“Indemnitee”) will give prompt written notice to the party from which indemnification is sought (“Indemnitor”) of any claim which it discovers or of which it receives notice after the Closing and which might give rise to a right of indemnification by it against Indemnitor under this Agreement (“Claim”), stating (to the extent known) the nature, basis and amount thereof. All Claims must be submitted before the expiration of the Survival Period. In the case of any Claim by any third party with respect to which Indemnitor may have liability under this Agreement, Indemnitor shall be entitled (at its own cost) to participate in the defense thereof and, to the extent desired by Indemnitor, to assume the defense thereof, in which case the Indemnitor must act reasonably (having regard to the business reputation of the Indemnitee) in participating in or assuming the defense of the Claim. After written notice from Indemnitor to Indemnitee of its election to assume such defense, Indemnitor will not be liable to any Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with its participation in the defense of the Claim, other than reasonable costs of assistance or investigation, unless Indemnitor does not actually assume the defense of the Claim following Indemnitor's notice of such election. The parties will render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be required of each other in order to ensure proper and adequate defense of any such third party Claim. Indemnitor will not agree to a compromise or settlement of any such third party Claim that would require the payment of any amounts by Indemnitee without the written consent of Indemnitee.
