an amount equal to $7.50 for each $1.00 of loss in excess of $25,000;  provided,
however,  that any amounts owed by Seller to Purchaser  pursuant to this Section
2.4(c) may be satisfied, to the extent Purchaser is indebted to the Shareholder,
by cancellation of Indebtedness of Purchaser to the Shareholder.

manner  required by Treasury  Regulation  Section  1.1060-1T(d) on IRS Form 8594
(Asset  Acquisition  Statement  Under Section 1060) based on the respective fair
market  values as of the  Closing  Date of the  assets  set forth  therein to be
included as Class I, II, III and IV assets;  (ii) the fair  market  value of the
Purchased Assets set forth on IRS Form 8594,  unless  otherwise  subjected to an
independent  appraisal,  (x)  with  respect  to the  Purchased  Assets  that are
reflected  on the books of Seller  (the  "Book  Assets"),  shall be the net book
value of such assets as of the Closing Date as determined on application of U.S.
GAAP for  presentation  on  Seller's  balance  sheet,  (y) with  respect  to the
Purchased Assets that are not Book Assets (the "Non-Book  Assets") shall, in the
aggregate,  be the excess of the Purchase Price of all the Purchased Assets less
the portion of the Purchase  Price  allocated  to the Book Assets,  and (z) with
respect  to the  individual  Non-Book  Assets,  shall be  based on a  reasonable
allocation  of the portion of the  Purchase  Price that is allocated to Non-Book
Assets;  (iii) the  allocation  set forth on IRS Form 8594  shall be  binding on
Purchaser and Seller for all federal, state and local tax purposes and Purchaser
and Seller

                                       23

shall file  consistent IRS Forms 8594 with their  respective  federal income tax
returns;  (iv) Purchaser shall prepare its IRS Form 8594 and provide Seller with
a copy so as to enable  Seller to  prepare  its IRS Form 8594 on a timely  basis
consistent  with that of  Purchaser;  and (v) Seller will assist  Purchaser  and
provide Purchaser with any information  reasonably  necessary for the completion
of IRS Form 8594.

                  2.6      Failure to Obtain Consents and Approvals.  In the
                           ----------------------------------------
event that any consent required with respect to any contract or
agreement to be assigned to Purchaser cannot be obtained prior to
the Closing Date, Seller shall subcontract all of its obligations
to perform under such contract to Purchaser.  The cost of
performing each such subcontract shall be borne by Purchaser and
Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all revenues earned under each
such contract.  Upon the receipt of the necessary third party
consent, Seller shall assign the relevant contract to Purchaser.
No additional consideration shall be paid for such assignment.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute an
assignment of or an attempt to assign any contract or other
agreement to which Seller is a party if the attempted assignment
thereof without the consent of the other party to such contract
or agreement would constitute a breach thereof or affect in any
way the rights of Seller (or Purchaser) thereunder.

                  3.18 Permits and Licenses;  Related Matters.  Schedule 3.18(a)
sets forth a true,  complete  and correct  list of all the health and safety and
other permits, licenses, authorizations,  certificates, exemptions and approvals
of  Governmental  Authorities  (collectively,   "Permits"),  including,  without
limitation,  Environmental Permits, necessary for the current use, occupancy and
operation  of each  Purchased  Asset and the conduct of the  Business.  All such
Permits are in full force and effect.  To the best  knowledge  of Seller and the
Shareholder, the Permits constitute all permits, licenses,  franchises,  orders,
certificates  and approvals  required for the lawful  operation of the Purchased
Assets and the Business.  To the best  knowledge of Seller and the  Shareholder,
there is no  existing  practice,  action or  activity  of Seller and no existing
condition of the  Purchased  Assets or the Business  which will give rise to any
civil or criminal  Liability  under, or violate or prevent  compliance with, any
health or occupational  safety or other  applicable Law. Seller has not received
any notice from any Governmental  Authority  revoking,  cancelling,  rescinding,
materially modifying or refusing to renew any Permit or providing written notice
of  violations  under  any  Law.  To  the  best  knowledge  of  Seller  and  the
Shareholder,  Seller is in all respects in  compliance  with the Permits and the
requirements of the Permits.  Schedule  3.18(b)  identifies all Permits that are
nontransferable or which will require the consent of any Governmental  Authority

Agreement.

by Seller  without  payment of any  penalty  or  premium or (ii)  imposes or may
impose on Seller a duty,  liability or obligation  involving  more than $25,000.

to  Purchaser  and Inmark  correct and  complete  copies (or in the case of oral
contracts or informal arrangements,  summaries thereof) of all of the contracts,
and all  amendments  thereto,  listed on Schedule  3.19(a)  (such  contracts and
amendments, "Material Contracts").

                           (b)  Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.19(b), (i)
each Material  Contract is valid and binding on the  respective  parties,  is in
full force and effect and  represents the entire  agreement  between the parties
thereto  with respect to the subject  matter of the  Material  Contract and (ii)
upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,  except to
the extent that any consents set forth on Schedule  3.7 are not  obtained,  each
Material  Contract  shall  continue  in full force and effect for the benefit of
Purchaser without penalty or other adverse consequence.

                           (c)  Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.19(c), no
party to any  Material  Contract  is in breach  of,  or in  default  under,  any
Material Contract, nor will the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement  constitute a breach of or default under any Material Contract or
otherwise give any party a right to terminate such Material Contract. Seller has
not  received  any notice of  termination  or  cancellation  under any  Material
Contract and no party to any Material  Contract has any right of  termination or
cancellation  under such Material Contract except in connection with the default
of Seller thereunder.

                           (d)  To the best knowledge of Seller and the
Shareholder,  no event has  occurred  that,  with  notice or lapse of time would
constitute  a  breach  or  default  or  permit   termination,   modification  or
acceleration under any Material Contract.

                           (e)  Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.19(e),
there is no contract, agreement or other arrangement granting any

Person any rights,  adverse or  otherwise,  under any  Material  Contract or any
preferential right to purchase any of the properties or assets of Seller.

                  3.20 Intellectual Property. (a) Schedule 3.20(a)(i) sets forth
a  true  and  complete  list  and  a  brief   description,   including  complete
identification  of each patent and patent  application and each  registration or
application for registration  thereof,  of all Owned  Intellectual  Property and
Schedule   3.20(a)(ii)  sets  forth  a  true  and  complete  list  and  a  brief
description,  including  a  description  of any  license or  sublicense,  of all
Licensed Intellectual Property. The Owned Intellectual Property and the Licensed
Intellectual Property constitute all the Intellectual Property necessary for the
conduct of the Business as currently  conducted by Seller.  In each case where a
registration  or patent or  application  for  registration  or patent is held by
Seller by  assignment,  the  assignment has been duly recorded with the State or
national Trademark Office from which the original  registration issued or before
which the  application  for  registration  is pending.  To the best knowledge of
Seller and the Shareholder, the rights of Seller in or to the Owned Intellectual
Property and the Licensed Intellectual Property do not conflict with or infringe
on the rights of any other  Person,  and Seller  has not  received  any claim or
written  notice  from  any  Person,  to such  effect.  The  consummation  of the
transactions  contemplated  by this Agreement will not result in the termination
or  impairment  of  any of  the  Owned  Intellectual  Property  or the  Licensed
Intellectual Property.  After the consummation of the transactions  contemplated
hereby,  Purchaser shall own or possess adequate  licenses or other valid rights
to use  all the  Owned  Intellectual  Property  and  the  Licensed  Intellectual
Property to the same extent, and in the same manner, as Seller.

Encumbrance  and (ii) no Actions have been made or asserted or are pending (nor,

threatened)  against  Seller either (A) based upon or  challenging or seeking to
deny or restrict the use by Seller of any of the Owned Intellectual  Property or
(B)  alleging  that any  services  provided  by  Seller  are being  provided  in
violation of any patents or  trademarks,  or any other rights of any Person.  To
the best  knowledge  of  Seller  and the  Shareholder,  no  Person  is using any
patents,  copyrights,  trademarks,  service marks, trade names, trade secrets or
similar property that are confusingly similar to the Owned Intellectual Property
or that  infringe  upon the Owned  Intellectual  Property  or upon the rights of
Seller therein.  Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.20(b), Seller has not granted
any  license  or other  right to any  other  Person  with  respect  to the Owned
Intellectual Property.

                           (c)  With respect to each of such licenses and
sublicenses listed Schedule 3.20(a)(ii):

                           (i)  Seller has not  granted to any other  Person any
                  rights,   adverse  or   otherwise,   under  such   license  or
                  sublicense;

                           (ii) no  Actions  have been made or  asserted  or are
                  pending  (nor,  to  the  best  knowledge  of  Seller  and  the
                  Shareholder,  has any such  Action  been  threatened)  against
                  Seller either (A) based upon or challenging or seeking to deny
                  or  restrict  the  use  by  Seller  of  any  of  the  Licensed
                  Intellectual  Property  or  (B)  alleging  that  any  Licensed
                  Intellectual  Property is being licensed,  sublicensed or used
                  in violation of any patents or trademarks, or any other rights
                  of any Person; and

                  Intellectual  Property  or that  infringe  upon  the  Licensed
                  Intellectual Property or upon the rights of Seller therein.

                  3.21 Real Property. (a) Seller does not own any real property.
Except as is set forth on  Schedule  3.21(a)(i),  Seller does not lease any Real
Property.  The  Real  Property  constitutes  all the real  property,  buildings,
structures,  facilities,  improvements,  fixtures, systems, easements, licenses,
rights and appurtenances  necessary for the conduct of the Business as currently
conducted by Seller.  For  purposes of this  Section 3.21 and Sections  3.22 and
3.23,  the term  "lease"  shall  include any leases,  subleases,  sale/leaseback
arrangements or similar arrangements.

                           (b)  Except as described on Schedule 3.21(b) or
Schedule 3.17, to the best knowledge of Seller and the Shareholder,  there is no
violation  of any Law  relating to any of the Real  Property for which Seller is
responsible.  Seller is in peaceful and undisturbed possession of each parcel of
Real Property and, to the best  knowledge of Seller and the  Shareholder,  there
are no contractual or legal  restrictions  that preclude or restrict the ability
of Seller to use the  premises in the manner in which they are  currently  being
used by Seller.  The Real  Property is currently  maintained  in good  operating
condition and repair. To the best knowledge of Seller and the Shareholder, there
are no material latent defects or material adverse physical conditions affecting
the  Real  Property  or any of the  improvements,  fixtures,  fixed  assets  and
personalty of a permanent nature annexed,  affixed or attached to, located on or
forming part of the Real Property. Seller is not leasing or

                  Code, has received, a favorable  determination letter from the

                  would adversely  affect the  qualification  of the Seller Plan
                  under section 401(a) of the Code.

                           (g)      Miscellaneous.  Such other documents,
assignments,   instruments  of  conveyance,  and  certificates  of  officers  as
reasonably  may be required by Seller and the  Shareholder  to  consummate  this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.



                                    ARTICLE 6

                            SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES;
INDEMNIFICATION

                  6.1  Survival of Representations and Warranties.  The
                       ------------------------------------------
representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive
the Closing and any investigation at any time made by or on
behalf of Seller, the Shareholder, Purchaser or Inmark and shall
expire on the second anniversary of the Closing Date except as to
claims made in writing pursuant to Section 6.3 before such second
anniversary.  No claim for misrepresentation or breach of
warranty shall be made by any party against any other party after
such second anniversary.  The covenants and agreements of the
parties in this Agreement shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the Closing.

                  6.2  Indemnification.

                           (a)      Seller and the Shareholder, jointly and
severally, shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser
and Inmark, and their respective Subsidiaries, officers,

                                       66

<PAGE>



directors,  shareholders,  employees,  agents,  successors  and assigns (each, a
"Purchaser  Indemnitee"),  for any loss,  liability,  claim,  damage or  expense
(including,  without  limitation,  the  reasonable  costs of  investigation  and
defense  and  reasonable  attorneys'  fees  and  disbursements)   (collectively,
"Damages")  suffered or incurred by any Purchaser  Indemnitee arising from or in
connection with (a) any breach of any of the  representations  and warranties of
Seller and the  Shareholder  contained in Article 3 of this  Agreement or in any
certificate  delivered  by any of them  pursuant  to this  Agreement  or (b) any
failure  by Seller  or the  Shareholder  to  perform  or comply  with any of its
respective obligations contained in this Agreement;  provided, however, that for
purposes  of  this  Section  6.2,  the  Shareholder  shall  not  be a  Purchaser
Indemnitee.

                           (b)      Inmark and Purchaser, jointly and severally,
shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and the Shareholder,  and their
respective officers, directors, shareholders,  employees, agents, successors and
assigns (each, a "Seller  Indemnitee"),  for any Damages suffered or incurred by
any Seller  Indemnitee  arising from or in connection with (a) any breach of any
of the  representations  and  warranties  of  Purchaser  or Inmark  contained in
Article  4 of this  Agreement  or in any  certificate  delivered  by any of them
pursuant to this Agreement, (b) any failure by Purchaser or Inmark to perform or
comply with any of its respective  obligations  contained in this Agreement,  or
(c) any failure by Inmark to pay the fees referred to in Section 4.8.

                  6.3 Procedure for Certain Indemnification.  (a) Promptly after
receipt by a Purchaser Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee (an "Indemnitee") under
Section  6.2 of notice of a claim or the  commencement  of any action by a third
party as to which  indemnification is or will be sought,  such Indemnitee shall,
if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an

                                       67

<PAGE>



indemnifying  party under such Section,  give prompt notice to the  indemnifying
party of such claim or the  commencement  of such action,  but the failure to so
notify the indemnifying  party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may
have to any Indemnitee except to the extent the indemnifying  party demonstrates
that the defense of such action is materially  prejudiced  thereby.  If any such
claim or action  shall be asserted or brought  against an  Indemnitee,  it shall
give notice to the indemnifying  party of the  commencement  thereof within five
days of the receipt of such notice and the indemnifying  party shall be entitled
to participate  therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume, at its
expense,  the defense thereof (utilizing counsel reasonably  satisfactory to the
Indemnitee),  in which case the  indemnifying  party shall not be liable to such
Indemnitee  under  such  Section  for any fees of  other  counsel  or any  other
expenses,  in each case  subsequently  incurred by such Indemnitee in connection
with the defense  thereof.  If notice is given to an  indemnifying  party of the
assertion of a claim or  commencement of any action and it does not, within five
days after the  Indemnitee's  notice is given,  give notice to the Indemnitee of
its election to assume the defense thereof,  the Indemnitee shall be entitled to
select  counsel  of its own  choice  and the  indemnifying  party  shall pay the
reasonable  fees and expenses of one counsel in each relevant  jurisdiction.  An
indemnifying  party shall not be responsible for any settlement or compromise of
any action,  claim or proceeding  effected  without its consent  (which  consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld).

                  6.4 Limitation on Liability. The Purchaser Indemnitees, on the
one hand, and the Seller  Indemnitees,  on the other hand, shall not be entitled
to  indemnification  pursuant to this Article 6 for Damages suffered or incurred
by such Indemnitees unless their Damages aggregate at least $35,000 (the "Basket
Amount").  In the event that Damages exceed the Basket Amount,  the indemnifying
party or parties shall be precluded from

                                       68

<PAGE>



asserting  that  any  such  Damages  are  immaterial  or  not  adverse  to  such
Indemnitees.  If Damages aggregate more than the Basket Amount, the indemnifying
party or parties shall be liable only for the amount of such Damages that exceed
the  Basket  Amount up to the  aggregate  amount,  in the case of Seller and the
Shareholder or Purchaser and Inmark (as the case may be), of $1,660,000 plus any
amounts payable as Additional  Purchase Price;  provided,  however,  that to the
extent such amounts  payable as Additional  Purchase  Price have not  previously
been paid, the liability of Seller and the Shareholder  shall be satisfied first
pursuant to Section 6.5.

                  6.5 Right to Withhold  Additional  Purchase  Price. So long as
liability  for a claim made by a  Purchaser  Indemnitee  pursuant to Section 6.2
shall be in dispute,  Purchaser shall be entitled to withhold payments due under
Section 2.4(b).  Upon the rendering of an arbitrators' award pursuant to Section
9.9 hereof,  the amount so withheld by  Purchaser  shall be applied  towards the
satisfaction  of the liability of Seller and the  Shareholder  to such Purchaser
Indemnitee for Damages,  if any. If the amount withheld by Purchaser pursuant to
this  Section  6.5  exceeds  the  Damages  awarded  to a  Purchaser  Indemnitee,
Purchaser  shall pay to the Seller the  difference  between the amount  withheld
pursuant to this Section 6.5 and the Damages awarded to the Purchaser Indemnitee
together  with  interest on such  difference,  at the rate of eight  percent per
annum, from the date payment was originally due pursuant to Section 2.4(b) until
the date the difference is paid to Seller.

                  6.6 Certain  Limitations.  If  indemnification is due from any
indemnifying  party hereunder,  any amounts recovered by the Indemnitee  through
insurance (net of any costs incurred in connection with the collection thereof),
to the extent  actually  received  by the  Indemnitee,  shall be credited to the
indemnifying party. Each Indemnitee agrees to use reasonable efforts to seek all
reasonable remedies against applicable insurers.

<PAGE>



                  6.7 Exclusive Remedy.  Except for the remedies provided in the
Confidentiality  Agreement,  the parties acknowledge and agree that the sole and
exclusive  remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to, or arising out
of this Agreement or the transactions  contemplated hereby, shall be pursuant to
the indemnification provisions contained in this Agreement.


                                    ARTICLE 7

                         COVENANTS SUBSEQUENT TO CLOSING


                  7.1 Further Assurances. Seller and the Shareholder jointly and
severally agree, without further consideration, to execute and deliver following
the Closing  such other  instruments  of transfer  and take such other action as
Purchaser may reasonably request in order to put Purchaser in possession of, and
to vest in  Purchaser,  good and valid  title to the  Purchased  Assets free and
clear of any Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances) in accordance with
this  Agreement  and  to  consummate  the  transactions   contemplated  by  this
Agreement.

                  7.2 Change of Name.  Simultaneously  with the Closing,  Seller
will take all actions  necessary to change its name to a name  unrelated and not
confusing with "U.S.  Concepts,  Inc." and shall provide to Purchaser  copies of
duly  executed  documents  effecting  the  change  in such  name for  filing  by
Purchaser.  From and after the Closing Date,  and other than in connection  with
the  preparation  and  filing  of  tax  returns  and  amendments,  Seller  shall
discontinue all further use, directly or indirectly, of the name "U.S. Concepts,
Inc." or any variation thereof,  and of any trademark,  trade name, service mark
or name,  or logo used by Seller or any word or logo that is similar in sound or
appearance.


                                       70

<PAGE>



                  7.3 Records.  In order to  facilitate  the  resolution  of any
claims made by or against or incurred by Seller or for any other purpose,  for a
period of six (6) years after the Closing,  Purchaser (i) shall retain the books
and  records  of Seller for  periods  prior to the  Closing  and which have been
delivered  to  Purchaser,  unless  specifically  authorized  by  Seller  or  the
Shareholder to the contrary in writing,  and (ii) upon reasonable notice,  shall
afford the officers,  employees and  authorized  agents and  representatives  of
Seller  reasonable  access  (including  the right to make, at Seller's  expense,
photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records.

                  7.4 Tax  Reporting.  The  parties  hereby  agree to adopt  the
alternative  procedure  provided  in  Section 5 of Revenue  Procedure  96-60 for
preparing and filing all payroll and employment tax returns for the employees of
Seller that are engaged by Purchaser,  pursuant to which  Purchaser  will assume
Seller's  obligation  to furnish  Forms W-2 to the  employees of Seller who will
continue their  employment in the Business with Purchaser.  Seller and Purchaser
will each  perform  the duties  imposed on them as  predecessor  and  successor,
respectively,   in  such  Section  5,  and  Seller  will  furnish  all  relevant
information with respect to such employees.  The failure or refusal of Seller to
timely  furnish  complete  and  accurate  information  with  respect to any such
employee  shall be deemed an  assumption  by Seller to comply with the  standard
procedure  provided in Section 4 of Revenue  Procedure  96-60 for  preparing and
filing all payroll and employment tax returns for the employees of Seller.

                  7.5      Employee Benefit Plans.

                           (a)      Continuation of Plans.  On and after the
Closing Date,  Seller shall continue to process (or cause to be processed) in an
expeditious manner and with respect to all eligible current and former employees
of Seller performing, or having performed, services related to the Business (the

                                       71

<PAGE>



"Employees")  (and, to the extent  applicable,  their  spouses,  dependents  and
beneficiaries) the following obligations:

                           (i) all claims under such  "employee  benefit  plans"
                  (as defined under Section 3(3) of ERISA)  maintained by Seller
                  that provide  health and medical,  or other  welfare  benefits
                  submitted  for covered  expenses  with respect to  occurrences
                  commencing on or prior to the Closing Date, including, but not
                  limited to, (A) covered hospital benefits for any confinements
                  that  commenced on or before the Closing  Date,  including any
                  covered charges of health care professionals' relating to such
                  confinements,  and (B) any  other  covered  medical  or health
                  expenses incurred on or before the Closing Date;

                           (ii) short-term and long-term disability benefits, if
                  any, for disabilities  that commenced on or before the Closing
                  Date for the  period  that each of such  affected  individuals
                  remain disabled;

                           (iii)            life and survivor income benefits,
                  if any, for deaths which occur on or prior to the Closing
                  Date;

                           (iv) workers'  compensation benefits for disabilities
                  resulting  from a  work-related  accident which occurred on or
                  prior to the Closing Date;

                           (v) all benefits that are being, or that may be, paid
                  to, or with  respect  to,  any  Employees  who are on short or
                  long-term disability,  or medical, personal or other leaves of
                  absence  as of  the  Closing  Date  (or  who  go on  short  or
                  long-term disability,  or medical,  personal or other leave of
                  absence  after the  Closing  Date as a result  of any  injury,
                  illness or other  factor  occurring on or prior to the Closing
                  Date) pursuant to

                                       72

<PAGE>



                  the  terms  of  such  employee  benefit  plans  as  in  effect
                  immediately  prior  to such  date  (including  any  subsequent
                  benefit increases);

                           (vi)  benefits  under  any  "spending   account,"  or
                  similar  arrangement,  under any "cafeteria  plan" (as defined
                  under  Section 125 of the Code),  regardless  of whether  such
                  benefits accrue before, on or after the Closing Date; and

                           (vii) benefits under all other such employee  benefit
                  plans which accrue on or before the Closing Date.

                           (b)      Continuation of Coverage.  Seller (or any
plan  maintained  by Seller)  shall,  to the  extent  required  by Law,  provide
continued  health and medical  coverage as required  under  Section 4980B of the
Code, Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or any other applicable federal, state or local
law or  ordinance  to all  eligible  employees  of Seller  (and  their  eligible
spouses, dependents and beneficiaries) with respect to whom a "qualifying event"
(as such term is defined under Sections 4980B(f)(3) of the Code or 603 of ERISA)
or other triggering event described under the applicable federal, state or local
laws or ordinances occurred on or before the Closing Date.

                           (c)      Assumption of Employee Benefit Plans.  From
and after the Closing,  the employee benefit plans of Seller shall be assumed by
Purchaser.  Seller agrees that  Purchaser may  terminate  such employee  benefit
plans at any time  following  the Closing if Purchaser  shall,  in lieu thereof,
provide employees of Purchaser with the same or substantially  similar or better
employee  benefit plans  (including,  but not limited to, employee benefit plans
within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA),  as those provided to employees of
Inmark with comparable status and seniority.  Years of service with Seller shall
be credited to

                                       73

<PAGE>



employees of Seller for vesting and  participation  purposes  under the employee
benefit plans of Purchaser.

                  7.6 Incentive Stock Options.  Simultaneously with the Closing,
Inmark shall grant to employees of Seller (other than the Stockholder and Bryen)
who, as of the Closing  Date,  are becoming  employees of  Purchaser,  incentive
stock  options  to  purchase  a total of 50,000  shares of Inmark  Common  Stock
pursuant to Inmark's 1992 Stock Option Plan.  The exercise price of such options
shall be the quoted  market  closing  price of Inmark Common Stock on the NASDAQ
System on the Closing Date.

                  7.7 Non-Competition; Trade Secrets. Seller and the Shareholder
jointly and severally agree as follows effective on and after the Closing Date:

                           (a)      All confidential research, advertising,
sales, manufacturers and other materials or articles or information,  including,
without limitation, data processing reports, customer sales analyses,  invoices,
price lists or information,  samples, or any other materials or data of any kind
furnished  to Seller or the  Shareholder  by Purchaser or Inmark or any of their
Affiliates are and shall remain the sole and confidential property of Purchaser,
Inmark and their  Affiliates;  provided,  however,  that the foregoing shall not
apply to (a) any material in the public  domain other than by reason of a breach
of this  Section  7.7, or (b) any  material  required to be  disclosed by law or
judicial process. If Purchaser or Inmark or any of their Affiliates requests the
return of such materials at any time,  Seller and the Shareholder shall promptly
deliver the same to Purchaser or Inmark or their Affiliate, as the case may be.

                           (b)      For a period of five years after the Closing
Date, neither Seller nor the Shareholder shall, directly or indirectly,  through
its  respective  agents,  employees or  otherwise,  or as a principal,  partner,
stockholder,  agent,  director,  officer,  employee,  consultant or in any other
capacity,

                                       74

<PAGE>



shall engage in (as a principal, partner, stockholder, agent, director, officer,
employee,  consultant or otherwise) or be financially interested in any business
activities  which  are the same  as,  similar  to or in  competition  with,  the
business  activities  carried  on by  Purchaser  or  Inmark,  or  any  of  their
Subsidiaries,  or being  definitely  planned by Purchaser  or Inmark,  or any of
their  Subsidiaries,  but in each case  only to the  extent  that such  business
activities  are similar to, or competitive  with,  the Business,  or at any time
during such period  induce or attempt to influence  any employee of Purchaser or
Inmark, or any of their  Affiliates,  to terminate his employment with Purchaser
or Inmark, or any of their Affiliates.

                           (c)      Neither Seller nor the Shareholder shall use
for its or his personal benefit, or disclose,  communicate or divulge to, or use
for the direct or indirect benefit of any Person other than Purchaser, Inmark or
their Affiliates, any material referred to in Section 7.6(a) or any confidential
information  regarding  the business  methods,  business  policies,  procedures,
techniques, research or development projects or results, trade secrets, or other
confidential knowledge or processes of or developed by Purchaser,  Inmark or any
of their  Affiliates,  or any  confidential  names and addresses of customers or
clients or any confidential data on or relating to past,  present or prospective
customers  or  clients  or any other  confidential  information  relating  to or
dealing with the business  operations or activities of Purchaser,  Inmark or any
of their  Affiliates,  made  known to Seller or the  Shareholder  or  learned or
acquired by the Shareholder  while in the employ of Purchaser,  Inmark or any of
their Affiliates. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (i) any material
in the public domain other than by reason of breach of this Section 7.7, or (ii)
any material required to be disclosed by law or judicial  process.  This Section
7.7 shall not  prevent  Seller or the  Shareholder  from  serving as a producer,
director, actor or writer in any entertainment-related business activity that is
not competitive with the Business.

<PAGE>



                           (d)      Any and all writings, improvements,
processes,   procedures  and/or  techniques  which  the  Shareholder  may  make,
conceive, discover or develop, either solely or jointly with any other person or
persons,  at any time during the term of his employment by Seller,  Purchaser or
Inmark, or any of their Affiliates, whether during working hours or at any other
time and whether at the request or upon the  suggestion of Seller,  Purchaser or
Inmark, or any of their Affiliates, or otherwise,  which relate to or are useful
in connection  with any business now or hereafter  carried on or contemplated by
Purchaser or Inmark, or any Affiliate,  including  developments or expansions of
its present  fields of operations,  shall be the sole and exclusive  property of
Purchaser.  The Shareholder  shall make full disclosure to Purchaser of all such
writings,  improvements,  processes,  procedures  and  techniques,  and,  at the
request  and  expense  of  Inmark,  shall do  everything  necessary  to vest the
absolute  title thereto in Purchaser.  No  Shareholder  shall be entitled to any
additional or special  compensation or reimbursement  regarding any and all such
writings, improvements, processes, procedures and techniques.

                           (e)      Seller and the Shareholder acknowledge that
the  restrictions  contained  in this  Section 7.7, in view of the nature of the
business in which Purchaser and Inmark are engaged, are reasonable and necessary
in order to protect the  legitimate  interests  of  Purchaser,  Inmark and their
Affiliates,  and that any violation thereof would result in irreparable injuries
to Purchaser and Inmark,  and Seller and the Shareholder  therefore  acknowledge
that, in the event of their  violation of any of these  restrictions,  Purchaser
and/or  Inmark  shall  be  entitled  to  obtain  from  any  court  of  competent
jurisdiction  preliminary and permanent injunctive relief (without  establishing
the likelihood of irreparable injury or posting bond or other security).  In the
event of such  violation,  Purchaser  and/or  Inmark  shall also be  entitled to
receive  damages,  which right shall be cumulative  and in addition to any other
rights or remedies to which Purchaser or Inmark may be entitled.

                                       76

                           (f)      If the period of time or the scope of
activity  restricted in Section 7.7(b) above should be adjudged  unreasonable in
any  proceeding,  then the period of time  shall be  reduced  by such  number of
months  and/or the scope of restricted  activity  shall be modified so that such
restrictions  may be enforced as is adjudged to be reasonable.  If Seller or the
Shareholder is determined to have violated any of the restrictions  contained in
Section 7.7(b),  the restrictive  period shall not run in favor of Seller or the
Shareholder  from the time of the  commencement of any such violation until such
time as such violation shall be cured by Seller and the Shareholder.

                  7.8  Gains,   Transfer  and  Sales   Taxes.   Seller  and  the
Shareholder shall pay all transfer,  gains and similar taxes and fees payable in
connection  with the  transactions  contemplated  by this  Agreement,  and shall
indemnify and hold harmless  Purchaser and Inmark from and against any liability
with respect to such taxes  (including any penalties,  interest and professional
fees).  Purchaser  shall pay all sales and use taxes payable in connection  with
the  transactions  contemplated by this Agreement,  and shall indemnify and hold
harmless Seller and the Shareholder  from and against any liability with respect
to such taxes (including any penalties,  interest and professional  fees).  Such
taxes  shall not be  deducted  in  determining  Pre-Tax  Earnings.  Seller,  the
Shareholder,  Purchaser and Inmark shall cooperate in the preparation and filing
of any required returns with respect to such taxes.

                  7.9 Board  Representation.  Immediately following the Closing,
Inmark's by-laws shall be amended to increase the size of the board of directors
by one board member and the Inmark's  existing board of directors  shall adopt a
resolution  filling  such  vacancy  with Brian  Murphy.  So long as Brian Murphy
remains  an  employee  of  Purchaser  or any  Affiliate,  Inmark  shall  use its
reasonable best efforts to nominate and elect him as a director of Inmark.

                  7.10  Working  Capital.  During  the  term  of the  employment
agreement  between  Purchaser  and  the  Shareholder,  provided  that  Purchaser

                               INMARK COMMON STOCK

                  8.1  Representations and Warranties of Seller and the
Shareholder.

                           (a) Seller and the Shareholder represent and
warrant to Purchaser and Inmark that Seller and the Shareholder  understand that
the Inmark Shares have not been  registered  for sale under any federal or state
securities  laws and that  Inmark  Common  Stock is being or will be offered and
sold to Seller  pursuant to the exemption from  registration  provided for under
Section 4(2) of the  Securities  Act, and Seller is acquiring  the Inmark Shares
for Seller's own account for investment and without any view to any distribution
thereof,  except that Seller shall be permitted to  distribute  and transfer the
Inmark  Shares  to  the  Shareholder  and  to  Bryen,  subject  to  the  further
restrictions of this Agreement and of the Investment Representation Letter (and,
at the request of Seller,  Inmark shall  promptly take all actions  necessary to
effect  any  such  distribution  and  transfer);  that the  representations  and
warranties  set forth in this Section  8.1(a) are given with the intention  that
Purchaser and Inmark rely on them for purposes of claiming such  exemption;  and
that Seller and the  Shareholder  understand  that Seller must bear the economic
risk of Seller's  investment in the Inmark  Shares for an  indefinite  period of
time as the Inmark Shares cannot be sold unless  subsequently  registered  under
such laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available.

                           (b)  Seller and the Shareholder agree that the
Inmark Shares will not be sold or otherwise  transferred  for value unless (i) a
registration  statement  with  respect  thereto has become  effective  under the
Securities  Act,  or (ii)  there is  presented  to Inmark an  opinion of counsel
satisfactory to Inmark that such  registration  is not required,  and Seller and
the Shareholder  consent that any transfer agent of Inmark may be instructed not
to  transfer  any Inmark  Shares  unless it  receives  satisfactory  evidence of
compliance  with the foregoing  provisions,  and that there may be endorsed upon
any  certificate  or instrument  representing  the Inmark Shares an  appropriate
legend calling  attention to the foregoing  restrictions on  transferability  of
such shares.

                           (c)  Seller and the Shareholder represent and
warrant to  Purchaser  and Inmark that Seller and the  Shareholder  are aware of
Inmark's business affairs and financial  condition and have acquired  sufficient
information  about  Inmark to reach an informed  and  knowledgeable  decision to
acquire  the  Inmark  Shares  hereunder.  Seller  and  the  Shareholder  further
represent and warrant that Seller and the Shareholder  have discussed Inmark and
its plans,  operations  and financial  condition  with Inmark's  officers,  have
received all such  information as they deem necessary and  appropriate to enable
them to evaluate the  financial  risk  inherent in making an  investment  in the
Inmark Shares and have received satisfactory and complete information concerning
the business and  financial  condition of Inmark in response to all inquiries in
respect thereof.

                  8.2  Registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

                    (a) Registration  Rights.  Seller and the Shareholder  shall
have the  following  demand and  piggyback  registration  rights  (other than in
connection  with a merger or  acquisition  registered  on Form S-4,  or  similar
special  purpose  form,  or with  an  employee  benefit  plan  or  similar  plan
registered  on Form S-8,  or  similar  special  purpose  form,  or any  dividend
reinvestment plan):

                                       79

<PAGE>



                           (i)     Seller and the Shareholder shall have
the  right  on  two  occasions  to  demand  that  Inmark  file  expeditiously  a
registration  statement  under the Securities Act covering not less than 100% of
the Inmark Shares then  beneficially  owned by Seller and the Shareholder  which
are permitted to be sold pursuant to Section 8.3. Such demand may be made at any
time after the first  anniversary of the Closing Date but in no event later than
(a)  the  third  anniversary  of the  Closing  Date,  or (b) if,  on such  third
anniversary,  the Inmark  Shares are not eligible for sale under the  Securities
and  Exchange  Commission  Rule  144(k),  then the date that such shares  become
eligible  for sale under Rule 144(k)  (such later date being  referred to as the
"Registration Date"). If the registration is delayed or withdrawn by Inmark, the
period when such demand may be made shall be extended for a period of time equal
to the length of the delay in registering such securities. Inmark shall bear all
expenses  attendant  to  registering  such  securities  (other  than the cost of
counsel to selling stockholders and underwriting  discounts and commissions,  if
any).

                           (ii) If Inmark shall intend to file a
registration  statement,  then Inmark shall give prompt notice of such intent to
Seller and the Shareholder,  and Seller and the Shareholder shall have the right
on no more than two occasions  during the period from the first  anniversary  of
the  Closing  Date  through  the   Registration   Date,  to  piggyback  in  such
registration  statement the Inmark Shares then beneficially  owned by Seller and
the Shareholder which are permitted to be sold pursuant to Section 8.3, provided
that after Inmark delivers written notice by registered mail of its intention to
file  a  registration  statement  under  the  Securities  Act,  Seller  and  the
Shareholder  must respond  affirmatively  within twenty (20) business days after
delivery of such notice. In connection with this piggyback  registration  right,
Inmark shall bear all expenses  attendant to registering such securities  (other
than the cost of counsel to selling stockholders and underwriting  discounts and
commissions, if any). If, in the sole judgment of the managing underwriter of

                                       80

<PAGE>



any  public  offering  by  Inmark,  the amount of  securities  to be  registered
pursuant to the  aforementioned  piggyback  rights shall be determined to be, in
the aggregate,  an amount which would  adversely  affect the success of Inmark's
registration  of its  securities  for its own  account,  then  Inmark  shall  be
required  to  include  in the  registration  only  that  number  of  securities,
including the Inmark Shares,  that the  underwriters  believe will not adversely
affect the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned
pro rata  among  the  selling  stockholders  according  to the  total  amount of
securities  owned by each selling  stockholder  or in such other  proportions as
shall mutually be agreed to in writing by such selling stockholders).

                    (b) Inmark's  Obligations in  Registration.  If and whenever
Inmark  is  required  by the  provisions  of  this  Section  8.2 to  effect  the
registration of the Inmark Shares under the Securities Act, Inmark shall:

                           (i)       Prepare and file with the Commission a
registration  statement  with  respect to all  outstanding  Inmark  Shares to be
included in the registration  statement and cause such registration statement to
become   effective   and  file  such   amendments   necessary  to  maintain  the
effectiveness  of the  registration  statement for a period of not less than one
(1) year,  except  that Inmark  shall not be required to keep such  registration
statement  effective,  or to  prepare  or file  any  amendments  or  supplements
thereto,  after the period of distribution of the registered securities has been
completed;

                           (ii)      Furnish to Seller and the Shareholder such
numbers of copies of the preliminary  prospectus  included in such  registration
statement and the prospectus included in such registration statement at the time
it is ordered effective by the Commission as such holders may reasonably request
in order to facilitate the disposition of the registered securities;


                                       81

<PAGE>



                           (iii)  Use reasonable efforts to register or
qualify the Inmark  Shares  covered by such  registration  statement  under such
other state securities laws of such  jurisdictions as Seller and the Shareholder
shall reasonably request,  provided,  however,  that Inmark will not be required
to: (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction  where it would not
be required to do so but for this clause (iii);  (B) subject  itself to taxation
in such jurisdiction; (C) consent to general service of process; (D) register in
any state requiring, as a condition to registration,  the escrow or surrender of
any Company  securities  held by any  security  holder;  and (E) incur  expenses
exceeding  $10,000 in the aggregate,  in connection  with such  registration  or
qualification; and

                           (iv)   Notify Seller and the Shareholder, at any
time when a prospectus  relating  thereto is required to be delivered  under the
Securities  Act,  of the  happening  of any  event  as a  result  of  which  the
prospectus included in such registration  statement, as then in effect, includes
an untrue  statement  of a  material  fact or omits to state any  material  fact
required to be stated  therein or necessary to make the  statements  therein not
misleading in the light of the circumstances  then existing,  and at the request
of any such  holder,  prepare  and  furnish  to  Seller  and the  Shareholder  a
reasonable  number  of  copies  of a  supplement  to or  an  amendment  of  such
prospectus  as  may  be  necessary  so  that,  as  thereafter  delivered  to the
purchasers  of such  securities,  such  prospectus  shall not  include an untrue
statement  of a material  fact or omit to state a material  fact  required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statement  therein not misleading in the
light of the  circumstances  then existing,  provided that no such supplement or
amendment need be filed after distribution of the registered securities has been
completed.

                    (c) Information From Seller and the Shareholder. Notices and
requests  delivered by Seller and the Shareholder to Purchaser  pursuant to this
Section 8.2 shall contain such  information  regarding the Inmark Shares and the
intended method

                                       82

<PAGE>



of disposition of the Inmark Shares and such other information  regarding Seller
and the  Shareholder  as shall  reasonably  be  required by counsel to Inmark in
order to appropriately disclose matters pertaining to Seller and the Shareholder
in the registration statement.

                    (d)  Indemnification by Purchaser and Inmark.  In the
                         ---------------------------------------
event of any registration under the Securities Act of any Inmark
Shares pursuant to this Section 8.2, Purchaser and Inmark hereby
jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless Seller
and the Shareholder and each other person, if any, who controls
Seller within the meaning of the Securities Act and each other
person (including underwriters) who participates in the offering
of the Inmark Shares, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which Seller, the Shareholder
or such controlling person or participating person may become
subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, in so far as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or proceedings in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the
effective date thereof, in any registration statement under which
such Inmark Shares were registered under the Securities Act, in
any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein,
or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse Seller,
the Shareholder and each such controlling person or participating
person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by
Seller, the Shareholder or such controlling person or
participating person in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, damage, liability or proceeding;
provided, however, that neither Purchaser nor Inmark will be
liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in such registration statement, said preliminary or

                                       83

<PAGE>



final  prospectus  or said  amendment  or  supplement  in  reliance  upon and in
conformity with written information  furnished to Purchaser or Inmark by Seller,
the Shareholder or such controlling or participating person, as the case may be,
specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

                           (e)      Indemnification by Seller and the
Shareholder.  It shall be a  condition  of  Purchaser's  obligation  under  this
Section 11.2 to cause Inmark to effect any registration under the Securities Act
that, if requested by Inmark,  there shall have been  delivered to Purchaser and
Inmark an agreement or agreements  duly  executed by Seller and the  Shareholder
and  reasonably  satisfactory  to Inmark and  Purchaser,  whereby Seller and the
Shareholder agree to indemnify and hold harmless  Purchaser,  Inmark, each other
person  referred to in subparts  (1),  (2), (3) and (5) of Section  11(a) of the
Securities Act in respect of such registration  statement and each other person,
if any, which controls Inmark within the meaning of the Securities Act,  against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which Purchaser
or Inmark may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise,  but only to
the extent that such losses,  claims,  damages or liabilities (or proceedings in
respect  thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained,  on the effective date thereof,
in any  registration  statement  under which such Inmark Shares were  registered
under the  Securities  Act, in any  preliminary  prospectus or final  prospectus
contained  therein or in any amendment or supplement  thereto or arise out of or
are based upon the omission or the alleged  omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the  statements  therein
not  misleading,  which,  in each  such  statement,  said  preliminary  or final
prospectus or said  amendment or supplement is made or omitted in reliance upon,
and in conformity with, written information  furnished to Purchaser or Inmark by
Seller or the Shareholder for use in the preparation thereof.

                           (f)      Rule 144. With a view to making available to
Seller  and the  Shareholder  the  benefit  of Rule 144  promulgated  under  the
Securities  Act, and any other similar rules and  regulations  of the Securities
and Exchange  Commission  that may at any time permit Seller and the Shareholder
to sell or distribute without  registration the Inmark Shares,  Inmark agrees to
file with the Securities and Exchange  Commission in a timely manner all reports
and other documents  required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act and, upon
reasonable request, to take any other actions necessary or appropriate to permit
the Inmark  Shares to be sold under Rule 144,  including,  but not  limited  to,
furnishing any  reasonably  requested  opinions of counsel to Inmark's  transfer
agent and the removal of any restrictive legends from stock certificates.

                  8.3 Inmark Shares Lock-Up Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary  contained herein,  (a) neither Seller nor the Shareholder shall
transfer or sell any Inmark  Shares until the first  anniversary  of the Closing
Date,  (b) neither Seller nor the  Shareholder  shall transfer or sell more than
one-third of its Inmark Shares during the period from the first  anniversary  of
the Closing Date through the second anniversary of the Closing Date or more than
a total of  two-thirds of its Inmark  Shares  (including  the Inmark Shares sold
prior  to the  second  anniversary  of the  Closing  Date)  prior  to the  third
anniversary of the Closing Date, except that the foregoing  restrictions on sale
of Inmark  Shares (a) shall not apply to transfers of Seller's  Inmark Shares to
the  Shareholder or to Bryen and (b) shall be void and of no further effect with
respect to the Shareholder if his employment with Purchaser is terminated (i) by
Purchaser without "cause" (as defined in the Shareholder's  employment agreement
with  Purchaser) or (ii) by the Shareholder for "good reason" (as defined in the
Shareholder's  employment  agreement  with  Purchaser).  This Section  shall not
restrict the  transfer of Inmark  Shares by will or the laws of  intestacy.  For
purposes of this Section 8.3, the term "Inmark Shares" shall be deemed to

                                       85

<PAGE>



include any shares of Inmark  issued in stock  splits of, or as stock  dividends
on, the Inmark Shares.

entered in any court having jurisdiction.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the parties agree that due
to the unique  subject  matter of this  transaction,  monetary  damages  will be
insufficient  to compensate the non- breaching party in the event of a breach of
any non-monetary obligation under this Agreement. Accordingly, the parties agree
that the non-breaching  party shall be entitled (without  prejudice to any other
right or  remedy  to which  it may be  entitled)  to an  appropriate  decree  of
specific  performance,  or an  injunction  restraining  any  violation  of  this
Agreement  or other  equitable  remedies  to  enforce  this  Agreement  (without
establishing  the  likelihood  of  irreparable  injury or posting  bond or other
security), and the breaching party waives in any action or proceeding brought to
enforce this Agreement the defense that there exists an adequate  remedy at law.
Any action or proceeding with respect to this agreement or the related documents
shall be brought  exclusively in the courts of the state of New York residing in
the borough of  Manhattan  or of the United  States of America for the  Southern
District of New York, and, by execution

and delivery of this Agreement,  each party hereto hereby accepts for itself and
in  respect  of its  property,  generally  and  unconditionally,  the  exclusive
jurisdiction  of the  aforesaid  courts.  Each party hereto hereby  waives,  and
agrees not to assert,  as a defense in any action,  suit or  proceeding  for the
interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement or any related document, that it
is not  subject  thereto  or that such  action,  suit or  proceeding  may not be
brought or is not  maintainable  in said  courts or that this  Agreement  or any
related  document  may not be enforced in or by said courts or that its property
is exempt or immune  from  execution,  that the suit,  action or  proceeding  is
brought  in an  inconvenient  forum,  that the  venue  of the  suit,  action  or
proceeding  is improper or (provided  that process shall be served in any manner
referred to in the following  sentence)  that service of process upon such party
is  ineffective.  Each party  hereto  agrees that service of process in any such
action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to this agreement may be made
upon it in any  manner  permitted  by the  laws of the  state of New York or the
federal laws of the United States.

                  9.10  Governing  Law. The validity  and  construction  of this
Agreement and the Related Documents  referred to herein shall be governed by the
internal  laws (and not the  principles of conflict of laws) of the state of New
York.

                  9.11  Counterparts.  This  Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
each of which when  executed  shall be deemed to be an original but all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

                  9.12 Expenses.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement

respect to all of the foregoing  expenses  incurred by Seller,  the Shareholder,
