patents, trademarks, trade names, service marks,

processes, formulae, methods, schematics, technology,
know-how, computer software programs or applications
and tangible or intangible proprietary information or
material that Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries is licensed
or otherwise possesses legally enforceable rights to
use and are necessary to conduct the business of Chem-
Con or its Subsidiaries as currently conducted, or
planned to be conducted , the absence of which would be
reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect
upon Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries (the "Chem-Con
Intellectual Property Rights"). None of the Chem-Con

outstanding order, judgment, decree, stipulation, or
agreement restricting the use of such Chem-Con
Intellectual Property Rights, and to the best of their
knowledge none infringes on, or is being infringed by,
other intellectual property rights of any other person
or entity. Chem-Con and its Subsidiaries have
promulgated and used commercially reasonable efforts to
enforce and maintain any reasonably necessary trade
secret or confidentiality measures regarding the Chem-
Con Intellectual Property Rights. Neither Chem-Con nor
its Subsidiaries has given and are not bound by an
agreement or indemnification regarding Chem-Con
Intellectual Property Rights in connection with any
property or service produced, used or sold by Chem-Con
or its Subsidiaries.

4.8.2 No Breach of License. None of the ALS Trust, Chem-Con
nor its Subsidiaries is, or will as a result of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or the
performance of their respective obligations under this
Agreement or otherwise be, in breach of any license,
sublicense or other agreement relating to the Chem-Con
Intellectual Property Rights, or any material licenses,
sublicenses and other agreements as to which Chem-Con
or its Subsidiaries is a party and pursuant to which
Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries is authorized to use any
third party patents, trademarks or copyrights ("Chem-
Con Third Party Intellectual Property Rights"),
including software which is used in the manufacture of,
incorporated in, or forms a part of any product sold or
services rendered by or expected to be sold or services
rendered by Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries, the breach of
which would be reasonably likely to have a material
adverse effect upon Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries,
except as disclosed in Schedule "K" hereof.

4.8.3 Year 2000 Issues. Schedule S hereof identifies each
"Year 2000" audit, report or investigation that has
been performed by or on behalf of Chem-Con and its
Subsidiaries with respect to their business and
operations, and Chem-Con has provided to Perma-Fix true
and correct copies of all such audits, reports or
investigations. Except as set forth in such audits,
reports and investigations, neither the Sullivans, the
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trusts nor Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries are

-17-

aware of any failure to be Year 2000 Compliant of (i)
any software products sold or licensed by Chem-Con or
its Subsidiaries to third parties or (ii) any computer
software products used by or licensed to Chem-Con or
its Subsidiaries from third parties for internal use by
Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Year 2000 Compliant" means, with respect to
each software product referred to in the prior
sentence, that such system (i) will accurately receive,
record, store, provide, recognize and process all date
and time data from, during, into and between the
twentieth and twenty-first centuries; (ii) will
accurately perform all date-dependent calculations and
operations (including, without limitation, mathematical
operations, sorting, comparing and reporting) from,
during, into and between the twentieth and twenty-first
centuries; and (iii) will not malfunction, cease to
function or provide invalid or incorrect results as a
result of (x) the change of century, (y) date data,
including date data which represents or references
different centuries or more than one century or (z) the
occurrence of any particular date; in each case without
human intervention, other than original data entry;
provided, in each case, that all applications, hardware
and other systems used in conjunction with such system
which are not owned or licensed by Chem-Con or its
Subsidiaries correctly exchange date data with or
provide data to such system. Neither Chem-Con nor its
Subsidiaries has provided any guarantee or warranty
for any product sold or licensed, or services provided,
by Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries to the effect that such
product or service (i) complies with or accounts for
the fact of the arrival of the year 2000 or (ii) will
not be adversely affected with respect to
functionality, operability, performance or volume
capacity (including without limitation the processing
and reporting of data) by virtue of the arrival of the
year 2000. Chem-Con and its Subsidiaries have
performed audits regarding their primary suppliers,
customers, creditors and financial service
organizations with which they have substantial
interaction ("Outside Persons") and have determined
that all of these Outside Persons are substantially
Year 2000 Compliant to the extent that there will be no
material adverse effects to Chem-Con or its
Subsidiaries resulting from a failure of such Outside
Persons to be Year 2000 Compliant. In addition,
Schedule "S" shall set forth in detail the status of
Chem-Con and its Subsidiaries' efforts to address the
Year 2000 issues involving Chem-Con and its
Subsidiaries and outside persons.

agreements, or entered into any other transaction, except in

-25-

each instance in the ordinary course of business or as set

as currently conducted.

4.20 Obligations to Employees. All obligations of Chem-Con and/or
any Affiliates, whether arising by operation of law, contract,
agreement, or otherwise, for payments to trusts or other funds
or to any governmental agency or to any employees, directors,
officers, agents, or any other individual (or any of their
respective heirs, legatees, beneficiaries, or legal
representatives) with respect to profit-sharing, pension or
retirement benefits, or any other employee benefit of any kind
whatsoever relating to Chem-Con, its Subsidiaries or any of
their employees, have been paid. All legally enforceable
obligations of Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries, whether arising
by operation of law, contract, agreement, or otherwise, for
bonuses or other forms of compensation or benefits which are,
or may become, payable to its employees, directors, officers,
agents, or any other individual (or their respective heirs,
legatees, beneficiaries or legal representative) relating to
Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries or any of the employees of Chem-
Con or its Subsidiaries with respect to periods ending on or
before the Closing have been paid, or adequate accruals for
payment thereof are reflected on the Audited Financial
Statements. Neither Chem-Con nor any of its Affiliates has
any accumulated funding deficiencies, as such term is defined
in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
("ERISA") and in the Code with respect to any employee benefit
plan as defined in ERISA maintained or established for
employees of Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries. Neither Chem-Con
nor its Subsidiaries has incurred any liability to the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") other than for the
payment of insurance premiums all of which have been paid when
due, the IRS or the Department of Labor ("DOL") with respect
to any such employee benefit plan that affects, or might
affect Chem-Con, and does not have any withdrawal liability
with respect to any multiemployer pension plan ("Multiemployer
Plan") which is subject to the Multiemployer Pension Plan
Amendments Act of 1980. The consummation of this Agreement
will not result in either a complete or partial withdrawal
from any of the Multiemployer Plans. All of the employee
benefit plans of which Chem-Con or any Affiliate of Chem-Con
is the plan sponsor relating to Chem-Con and its Subsidiaries
or any of their employees have been amended as, when and to
the extent necessary to comply with and qualify under the
applicable provisions of the Code; and all such employee
benefit plans have been administered in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Code and ERISA. Except as
indicated on Schedule "N", any employee benefit plans relating
to Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries or any of their employees
which are pension benefit plans have received, or have applied
for and expect to receive, determination letters from the IRS
to the effect that such plans are qualified and exempt from
federal income taxes under Sections 401(a) and 501(a), respectively,
of the Code, and, no amendments have been made to any such
employee benefit plans other than those covered by such

-26-

determination letters or applications for such determination
letters with respect to such amendments which have been timely
filed with the IRS. No determination letter received with
respect to any employee benefit plan relating to Chem-Con or
its Subsidiaries or any of their employees has been revoked
nor has revocation been threatened. Each of the employee
benefit plans have been administered at all times and in all
respects in accordance with their respective terms. There are
no pending investigations by any Governmental Authority
involving any employee benefit plans relating to Chem-Con or
its Subsidiaries or any of their employees, no deficiency or
termination proceedings involving such employee benefit plans,
and no threatened or pending claims (except for claims for
benefits payable in the normal operation of the employee
benefit plans), suits or proceedings against any such
employee benefit plan or asserting any rights or claims to
benefits under any such employee benefit plan nor are there
any facts which could give rise to any liability in the event
of any such investigation, claim, suit or proceeding. Neither
the employee benefit plans nor any trusts created thereunder
relating to Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries or to any of their
employees, nor any trustee, administrator or other fiduciary
thereof, has engaged in a "prohibited transaction" (as such
term is defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of
the ERISA); and has not experienced any reportable event within the
meaning of ERISA or other event or condition which presents a
material risk of termination of any such employee benefit plan
by the PBGC, has had any tax imposed upon it by the IRS for
any alleged violation under Section 4975 of the Code, or has engaged
in any transaction which might subject Chem-Con or its
Subsidiaries or any such employee benefit plan to any
liability for such tax. The terms of any such employee
benefit plans comply with ERISA and the Code in all respects,
and, any and all reporting and disclosure requirements of
ERISA or the Code and the DOL with respect to any such
employee benefit plan have been timely met. The information
supplied to the actuary by Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries, the
Sullivans or the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trusts for use in preparing those
reports was complete and accurate and none of Chem-Con, the
Sullivans nor the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trusts has reason to believe that
the conclusions expressed in such reports are incorrect. In
the event of termination of any employee benefit plan of Chem-
Con or any of its Affiliates relating to Chem-Con or its
Subsidiaries or to any of their employees, there will be no
liability of Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries or the plan with
respect to the providing of benefits accrued thereunder
subject to future variations in levels of compensation
assuming continued investment returns at rates actuarially
predicted. Further, if termination (whether complete or
partial) of any plan has occurred, then, all liabilities with
respect thereto have been satisfied in full and no present
liability exists with respect to any such prior termination.
Schedule "N" also includes a list of any and all pension or
benefit obligations of Chem-Con and/or its Affiliates which
have not been fully funded.

4.21 Condition of Plant, Machinery and Equipment. Except as set
forth on Schedule "O", all of the items of the property, plant
and equipment owned, operated or leased by Chem-Con or its
Subsidiaries are, in all material respects, in good condition

-27-

and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and Chem-Con
and its Subsidiaries agree to maintain such items in good
operating condition until the Closing. Casualty losses to
such property, plant and equipment are covered by insurance
with normal industry deductibles being applicable.

4.22 Books of Account. Chem-Con has maintained its books of
account in accordance with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis
with prior periods.

4.23 Stock Redemptions. There are no shares of Chem-Con Common
Stock which are subject to redemption or purchase in lieu of
redemption, which prior to September 30, 1998, were not paid
for in full. From September 30, 1998, through the date of
this Agreement, Chem-Con has not purchased or redeemed or
entered into any agreement to purchase or redeem any Chem-Con
Common Stock.

4.24 Minute Books. Chem-Con and its Subsidiaries have maintained
their corporate minute books and all such books are current.

4.25 Indebtedness of Shareholders, etc. Except as set forth on
Schedule "P", none of the shareholders, Affiliates, officers,
directors or employees of Chem-Con is (i) indebted to Chem-Con
or its Subsidiaries, and neither Chem-Con nor its Subsidiaries
is indebted to their Affiliates, shareholders or any of their
officers, directors or employees, (ii) a party to or has any
interest in a material contract, agreement or lease with Chem-
Con or its Subsidiaries or in which Chem-Con or its

of the preceding three (3) years supplied to or purchased from
Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries a amount of property or services
exceeding Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) in any one (1)
year.

4.26 Business Prospects. Since September 30, 1998, there has not
occurred any event or other occurrence which might have a
material adverse effect on the business or business prospects
of Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries.

4.27 Bank Accounts; Powers of Attorney. Schedule "Q" attached
hereto sets forth each bank account and borrowing resolution
authorizing officers or agents of Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries
to borrow money and lists the persons authorized to transact
business on behalf of Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries with
respect to each such account or borrowing resolution.
Schedule "Q" also lists all powers of attorney granted by
Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries to any other person.

4.28 Sensitive Payments. Neither Chem-Con nor its Subsidiaries has
made or received, and to their best knowledge, after
reasonable due inquiry, none of their officers, directors,
employees, agents, shareholders or other representative of
Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries or any person acting on behalf of
Chem-Con or its Subsidiaries, has made or received, directly
or indirectly, any bribes, kickbacks, illegal political
contributions with corporate funds, improper payments from

-28-

corporate funds that are falsely recorded on the books and
records of Chem-Con, payments to governmental officials in
their individual capacities or illegal payments from corporate
funds to obtain or retain business.

Stock determined by dividing the total amount of
