Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         On September 9, 1996, Jerry's Famous Deli, Inc. (the "Company")
completed the purchase of Wolfie Cohen's Rascal House, located in Miami Beach,
Florida ("Rascal House" or the "Restaurant").  The land, building and asset
purchase was completed pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement,
dated August 2, 1996, among the Company, One Hundred Seventy-Second Collins
Corp., a Florida corporation ("172 Corp.") and eight individual owners (the
"Sellers") of the real property upon which the Restaurant is located.

         The purchase price for the real property was $2,350,000 and the
purchase price for all of the assets of the Restaurant was $2,400,000, for a
total purchase price of $4,750,000.  The total purchase price was paid in full
at closing.  The balance of the acreage is primarily parking for the
Restaurant.  The Rascal House real property consists of approximately 2.21
acres, upon which the two-story, 21,000 square foot restaurant is located.
Related assets acquired by the Company include restaurant equipment and
fixtures, delivery vehicles and a limited two- year covenant not to compete
from the Sellers, 172 Corp. and its shareholders, and two key employees of the
Restaurant.  The source of funds for the purchase was cash proceeds from the
sale of Series A Preferred Shares completed on August 30, 1996.

         The Company intends to continue to operate the Restaurant under the
name "Rascal House," and to substantially retain and expand upon the menu and
format of operations of the Restaurant.  However, the hours of operation of the
Restaurant will be expanded, probably to a 24-hour operation, and the
Restaurant will begin delivery service, taking call-in orders for take-out, and
will begin taking charge cards, all of which were not previously done by the
Restaurant.

         For further information see the Asset Purchase Agreement filed
herewith as Exhibit 10.1.

and Environmental Inspection reports, title insurance commitment, survey or
other reports, analyses or other documents pertaining to the physical condition
of the Land (collectively, "RETURNABLE ITEMS"); provided however, that (i) the
Returnable Items are not subject to any attorney-client or accountant-client
privilege, which Buyer hereby expressly reserves, and (ii) with respect to the
Audit, Buyer shall be required to deliver a copy thereof to 172 Corp. only if,
as and to the extent it may be permitted to do so by applicable law and by
consent of the Auditors.  Buyer's delivery of any the Returnable Items to 172
Corp. shall not be deemed to convey any title or interest therein (other than
the right to possess same) or to entitle 172 Corp. or any other party to rely
upon the content thereof, as to which Buyer shall be fully and absolutely
exculpated.  If Buyer shall not timely exercise its right to terminate prior to
the expiration of the Due Diligence Period in accordance with the terms,
provisions and conditions of this Agreement, then the right of termination shall
be deemed of no further force or effect and shall be deemed to have been waived
by Buyer.  The rights of inspection, review and audit, or the exercise or
non-exercise of such right, shall not constitute a waiver of any of Buyer's
other rights under this Agreement.

                 Buyer shall repair and restore any damage to the Restaurant
caused by it in connection with its due diligence investigation hereinabove
described and Buyer shall pay or cause to be removed any liens filed against the
Land as a result of any actions taken above by Buyer and Buyer shall indemnify
and hold harmless Sellers for all damages or losses incurred to the Restaurant
or anyone on the Land as a proximate result of the actions taken above by Buyer,
including without limitation, any liens, claims, costs or expenses whatsoever
incurred by Buyer in connection with the ordering, making and receiving of such
inspections and reports.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall
Sellers be indemnified for any damages or losses incurred as a result of a
Seller's own act or failure to act or for the consequences of any inquiries made
to governmental authorities with respect to the Land, Restaurant or any
operations thereon.

4.       TITLE/SURVEY:

         a.      Title:  Buyer, at Land Owners' expense (not to exceed $500),
shall obtain a pro forma title insurance commitment ("PRO FORMA COMMITMENT")
with respect to the Land issued by First American Title Insurance Company or
other title insurance company reasonably acceptable to Buyer (the "TITLE
COMPANY"). Thereupon, Buyer may cause to be issued, at Buyer's expense, a
commitment for title insurance issued by or through the Title Company (the
"TITLE COMMITMENT") on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.
The Pro Forma Commitment and the Title Commitment shall reflect good,
marketable and insurable fee simple title of the Land in Land Owners, free and
clear of all liens,





                                       6
   7
encumbrances and exceptions whatsoever, except for the "Permitted Exceptions"
(as hereafter defined).  It shall not be objectionable if the Pro Forma
Commitment or the Title Commitment shall show the existence of other liens,
encumbrances or title conditions provided (i) the same are discharged,
cancelled of record and terminated at or prior to Closing, and (ii) the Title
Company shall delete same as of the Closing from the Title Commitment by
endorsement or other manner acceptable to Buyer.  The Title Company's agreement
to insure over any matter shall not be conclusive as to whether such matter
renders the fee simple title to the Land to be in compliance with the
requirements of this Agreement.  If Buyer shall have any objection with respect
to the status of title, Buyer shall notify the Sellers' Representative of such
objection(s) on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.  In the
event the Pro Forma Commitment shall reflect any condition which shall render
title other than good, marketable and insurable, as herein provided, and such
condition may be curable prior to  September 23, 1996, Sellers shall be
required to exercise diligent efforts to cure same promptly (excluding the
institution of all necessary suits and proceedings), and Closing may be
deferred through September 23, 1996; and if Sellers are unable after the
exercise of diligent efforts, as aforesaid, to cure such title conditions or
objections prior to September 23, 1996 so as to render title good, marketable
and insurable, then the parties hereto shall be relieved of any further
liability arising out of or with respect to this Agreement, in which event
Buyer shall be entitled to the immediate refund of the Deposits, or Buyer may,
at Buyer's option, require Land Owners to deliver title in its then existing
condition (without reduction in Purchase Price).  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any mortgages, judgments, liens or other defects of a definite and
ascertainable amount, which can be cured by the payment of money, will be paid,
released, and discharged at Closing, from the Closing Payment. The Pro Forma
Commitment and/or the Title Commitment shall be "down dated", at Buyer's
expense, to an effective date no later than three (3) days prior to Closing and
as "down dated" shall confirm the approved status of title.

         Buyer's initial and "down dated" review of title may also include, at
Buyer's expense, a UCC Search, reflecting the absence of any financing
statements or other filings against any of the Property pursuant to the Uniform
Commercial Code. The existence of any such financing statements or other
filings shall be treated as a title defect in accordance with the provisions
hereof.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4a, in the
event of a title objection arising subsequent to the effective date of the Pro
Forma Commitment, respecting a condition which cannot be cured prior to
September 23, 1996, (i) Buyer shall not be required to close unless and until
such title condition is cured in accordance with the provisions hereof, (ii)
Sellers shall be required to exercise diligent efforts to cure same promptly
(including the institution of all necessary suits and proceedings), (iii) 172
Corp. shall have the right, with no less than ten (10) business days' notice to
Buyer, to extend the Closing Date to any business day up to January 31, 1997;
provided that such condition is not attributable to a default or
misrepresentation by any Seller, and (iv) if such condition has not been cured
by January 31, 1997 (or sooner if such condition cannot be cured prior to
January 31, 1997), Buyer's options shall include (a) terminating this
Agreement, in which event Buyer shall be entitled to the immediate refund of
the Deposits, or (b) requiring Land Owners to deliver title in its then
existing condition.

         b.      Permitted Exceptions:  This sale is being made and the Buyer
shall take title to the Land subject to the following (the "PERMITTED
EXCEPTIONS"):

                 (i)      Easements, covenants and restrictions of record and
described as exceptions in the Pro Forma Commitment and Title Commitment, if
any, provided the same are not matters to which Buyer has objected, as provided
above.





                                       7
   8
                 (ii)     Taxes for the year of Closing and subsequent years
(subject, however, to adjustment as provided herein).

         c.      Survey:  Buyer, at Buyer's expense, may obtain, by the
expiration of the Due Diligence Period, an "as built" and boundary Survey
("Survey") of the Land prepared by a registered, professional surveyor licensed
to practice in the State of Florida, duly certified to the Buyer, Buyer's
attorneys, and to the Title Company and their respective successors and
assigns.  The survey shall meet the minimum technical requirements for land
surveying in Florida set forth by the Florida Board of Land Surveyors pursuant
to Florida Statute 472.027.  In the event the Survey shows any condition which
renders title other than good, marketable and insurable, including, but not
limited to any encroachments, overlaps, gores, strips, gaps or hiatuses, then
such conditions will constitute title defects subject to the provisions of the
preceding paragraph entitled "Title".

5.       DELIVERIES AT CLOSING.

         a.      Deliveries by Sellers.  At the Closing, Land Owners and/or 172
Corp. shall deliver to Buyer the following original documents, and where
appropriate, duly executed by the applicable Seller to the extent of any
interest or relation therewith (including proper witnesses, acknowledgments,

                 iii.     Quitclaim Assignment of Intangible Property and

                          (y)     The home address of each Land Owner; and
                          (z)     A statement that each Land Owner is not a
                                  foreign person within the meaning of Sections
                                  1445 and 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code of
                                  1986, as amended ("IRC").

In the event that the Land Owners fail to deliver such certification described
in this subpart v. at Closing or any of the Land Owners deliver such
certification described in this subpart v. but Buyer has actual knowledge that
such certification is false or Buyer receives notice that the certification is
false from any agent of Buyer or Land Owners, Buyer shall be entitled to
withhold from the Purchase Price a sum equal to ten percent (10%) of the total
amount which otherwise would have been realized by the Land Owners from such
sale, which sum will be paid by Buyer to the United States Treasury pursuant to
the requirements of Section 1445 of the IRC and the regulations promulgated
thereunder;





                                       8

                 vi.      An assignment of any and all warranties and
guaranties, pertaining to the Land and/or the Restaurant.  Such assignment

performance by any warrantor for work which should be performed by any
warrantor pursuant to any of the warranties.  172 Corp. shall also deliver all
original warranties, or copies of Warranties in the possession of 172 Corp. or
its agents certified by 172 Corp., to the best of its knowledge, to be true,
correct and complete, to Buyer at Closing;

                 vii.     An assignment of all Licenses and Permits, together
with originals or copies of all Licenses and Permits;

                          (C) From all Sellers:

                 i.       Such corrective instruments as may be required to

Paragraph 4a hereof;





                                       9
   10
                 ii.      Termination of the 172 Lease;

                 iii.     Sellers' title affidavit of no liens, "gap", and

                 iv.      Such further instruments of sale, transfer,

Buyer may reasonably require to assure the full and effective sale, transfer,

Buyer under this Agreement.

         b.      Deliveries by Buyer.  At the Closing, Buyer shall duly execute
the following original documents (including proper witnesses, acknowledgments,
seals and other requisite formalities), and deliver the same to Sellers'
Representative for disbursement to the Sellers as appropriate:

                 i.       The Assignment and Assumption of Executory Contracts;

                 ii.      The Closing Statement; and

reasonably required by Sellers in connection with the transactions contemplated
under this Agreement.

         c.      By Buyer and Sellers.  Buyer and Sellers will each execute and
deliver such other instruments consistent with this Agreement as are reasonably
required to effectuate the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

6.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLERS.

         a. Representations made by all Sellers. Sellers, severally and not
jointly, represent and warrant to Buyer that:

                 (i) Authorization of Agreement.  Each Seller has full legal
right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby.  This Agreement and all other agreements and
instruments to be executed by a Seller in connection herewith have been (or
upon execution will have been) duly executed and delivered by such Seller, have
been effectively authorized by all necessary action, corporate or otherwise,
and constitute (or upon execution will constitute) legal, valid and binding
obligations of such Seller.

                 (ii) No Notice of Violation.  No notice (other than the Fire
Notice, defined below) from any governmental body has been served upon any such
Seller, claiming any violation of any law or ordinance respecting the Land
and/or the Restaurant, or requiring any work, repairs, alterations or
installation on or in connection with the structures, improvements or permanent
fixtures located at or upon the Land. No such Seller has ever received any
notice of objection from any party with respect to the use of the names "Rascal
House" and/or "Wolfie Cohen's Rascal House" within Dade, Broward or Palm





                                       10
   11
Beach County, Florida or any other area which may be deemed the Restaurant's
trade area.

                 (iii) No Conflicts.  Neither the execution and delivery of
this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
will (i) constitute or result in a breach of, or a default (or give rise to any
rights to acquire any Property of Sellers) under, any term or provision of any
agreement, license, franchise, or permit to which any such Seller is a party or
by which any of the Property of such Seller are bound, (ii) constitute or
result in a violation by any such Seller of any statute, rule, regulation,
ordinance, code, order, judgment, writ, injunction, decree or award, or (iii)
result in an imposition of any encumbrance, restriction or charge on any of the
Property.

                 (iv) Insolvency. There are no attachments, execution
proceedings, assignments for the benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or other proceedings pending or threatened against any such
Seller, nor are any such proceedings contemplated by a Seller, nor will any
such Seller voluntarily file any petition seeking protection under applicable
bankruptcy laws.

                 (v) Adjoining Property.  There are no written or other binding
agreements between any such Seller and the owner or occupants of any lands
adjoining or proximately located to the Land affecting the use or enjoyment of
the Land.

                 (vi) No Condemnation.  There is no pending or, to the best of
such Seller's information or belief, threatened condemnation or similar
proceeding affecting the Land.

                 (vii) Possession.  There are no parties in possession of any
portion of the Land, other than 172 Corp. pursuant to the 172 Lease.

                 (viii) Other Information.  All information provided and to be
provided by such Seller to Buyer in this Agreement or pursuant to the terms
thereof or in any other writing pursuant hereto does not and will not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state a
material fact required to be stated herein or therein or necessary to make the
statements and facts contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances
in which they are made, not false or misleading.  Copies of all documents
heretofore or hereafter delivered or made available to Buyer pursuant hereto
were or will be true, complete and accurate records of such documents.

                 (ix) Absence of Certain Changes.  To the best of each Seller's
information and belief, there is no event or condition of any character which
would adversely affect the ability or right of Buyer to own and operate the
Restaurant on the Land.

                 (x) No Undisclosed Liabilities.  Other than obligations
arising after Closing under the Executory Contracts set forth on Exhibit A,
such Seller has no liabilities or obligations of any nature, whether absolute,
accrued, contingent or otherwise, and whether due or to become due which would
affect Buyer or the Property or become the obligation of Buyer after the
Closing.

         b. Representations made by 172 Corp. 172 Corp., and its officers and
directors who are parties hereto, jointly and severally, represent and warrant
to Buyer that:

                 (i) Organized and Good Standing.  172 Corp. is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Florida with full power to consummate the transactions
contemplated herein. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor
the





                                       11
   12
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will conflict with or
result in a violation of any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or
Bylaws of 172 Corp.

                 (ii) Ownership of the Personal Property and Intangible
Property. 172 Corp. is the sole owner of all of the Personal Property and
Intangible Property, free and clear of any and all liens, claims, taxes and
encumbrances of whatsoever kind or nature. 172 Corp.  registered the fictitious
name, "Rascal House Restaurant" ("FICTITIOUS NAME") with the Florida Department
of State under Registration Number G91260900045, which registration expires on
September 17, 1996, unless theretofore renewed. If Closing shall not have
occurred by September 9, 1996, 172 Corp. shall renew the Fictitious Name
filing. 172 Corp. has not otherwise registered the names "Rascal House" or
"Wolfie Cohen's Rascal House".  To the best of 172 Corp.'s information and
belief (but without conducting any search), (A) 172 Corp. owns all trademarks,
trade names, service marks, service names and copyrights which, individually or
in the aggregate, used in connection with the operation of the Restaurant
(collectively, the "TRADENAMES"), (B) no Tradenames are in dispute or are in
conflict with any right of any other person or entity, and (C) 172 Corp. has
the exclusive right to use the names "Rascal House" and "Wolfie Cohen's Rascal
House" within Dade or Broward County, Florida or any other area which may be
deemed the Restaurant's trade area.

                 (iii) Operating Condition.  The FF&E generally is in working
condition, so as to enable the operation of the business of the Restaurant,
although 172 Corp. has advised Buyer that certain items of the FF&E may not be
in good operating condition. At all times prior to Closing, 172 Corp. and its
management level employees shall truthfully answer any and all questions Buyer
and Buyer's Representatives may ask with respect to the condition of the
Personalty, including the FF&E. At Closing, Buyer shall take the Personalty,
including the FF&E, in AS IS condition.

                 (iv) Labor and Employment Matters.  172 Corp. is the sole
operator and employer with respect to the Restaurant.  There is no collective
bargaining agreement or other labor agreement to which 172 Corp. is a party or
by which it is bound.

                 (v) Litigation.  There are no claims, disputes, actions,
proceedings or investigations of any nature pending or, to the best knowledge
of 172 Corp., threatened against or involving 172 Corp., or the Restaurant or
any of the officers, directors, partners or employees of 172 Corp. in
connection with or arising out of the business conducted by 172 Corp. or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                 (vi) Taxes.  172 Corp. has complied in all respects with all
applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to the payment and withholding
of taxes and other sums as required by appropriate governmental authorities and
has withheld and paid to the appropriate governmental authorities or is holding
for payment not yet due to such authorities, all amounts required to be
withheld from such employees of 172 Corp. for all periods through the Closing
Date and is not liable for any arrears of wages, taxes, penalties or other sums
for failure to comply with any of the foregoing.  172 Corp. has filed with the
appropriate governmental agencies all required income, sales and use,
employment and payroll, meal, franchise and other tax returns and tax reports
with respect to the Property and the operation of the Restaurant.  172 Corp.
has not executed any waiver(s) which would have the effect of extending any
applicable statute of limitations in respect of its tax liabilities.  172 Corp.
has paid all sales taxes, assessments, fees, and other government charges
levied upon its assets and income or otherwise relating or attributable to the
Property for all periods prior to the Closing Date. 172 Corp. does not have
knowledge of any unassessed tax deficiency that has been proposed or threatened
against any of them by any taxing authority. No audits of any tax return are in
progress, and there are not in force any agreements by 172 Corp. for the
extension of time for the assessment or payment of any tax.  With





                                       12
   13
respect to sales taxes, 172 Corp. shall cooperate with Buyer in obtaining a
Transferee Liability Certificate from the Florida Department of Revenue and
otherwise furnish Buyer with information reasonably adequate to confirm
compliance with applicable sales tax laws and shall indemnify Buyer against any
liability for sales tax attributable to the Restaurant's receipts and
receivables.

                 (vii) Regulatory Approvals.  To their best knowledge, the
Licenses and Permits constitute all approvals, authorizations, consents,
licenses, orders and permits of all governmental agencies, whether federal,
state or local, related to the operation of the Restaurant, the absence of
which would materially and adversely affect the Property or Buyer's use or
operation thereof in the manner in which such assets are being used or operated
as of the date of this Agreement, and to their best knowledge, no circumstances
exist which could prevent or interfere with the transfer (to the extent legally
transferable) of the Licenses and Permits to Buyer in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereunder.  To their best knowledge, there are no
current uncured violation of law (other than Items 5 and 8 as referenced in the
Fire Notice), with respect to the operation of the Restaurant, and/or any
approvals, authorizations, consents, licenses, orders and permits necessary to
operate the Restaurant in compliance with applicable state, federal or other
laws or regulations.

                 (viii) Insurance.  172 Corp. maintains insurance policies,
including, without limitation, general liability, property and personal
liability insurance, which insure the Sellers, their respective employees and
such other persons to whom such entities may become liable against such losses
and risks generally insured against by comparable businesses (collectively, the
"INSURANCE POLICIES").  172 Corp.  shall obtain and maintain in full force and
effect through the date of closing fire, casualty and extended coverage and
other insurance polices for the Restaurant at the existing coverages, limits of
liability and deductibles and shall deliver to Buyer a copy of its existing
policies of insurance evidencing such coverages.  Buyer shall be entitled (but
not obligated) to bind additional coverage for the Restaurant or any part
thereof prior to Closing at Buyer's sole expense and 172 Corp. agrees to
cooperate with Buyer with respect thereto.

                 (ix) Land and Improvements.  To the best of 172 Corp.'s
information and belief, all structures, improvements and permanent fixtures on
the Land conform to any and all applicable state and local laws.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, 172 Corp. has delivered to Buyer a copy of that
certain Metro-Dade Fire Rescue Department notice and/or fire inspection report
dated February 23, 1995 (the "FIRE NOTICE"), and advised Buyer that all matters
referenced therein, except for Items 5 and 8, have been cured. In the event of
any violation of law (other than said Items 5 and 8) identified during the Due
Diligence Period, 172 Corp.'s liability for the cost of cure shall be limited
to $10,000 (in the aggregate), it being recognized that if such cost to cure
exceeds $10,000 (in the aggregate), then Buyer shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement. In the event any violation of law is identified
subsequent to the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall also have the right to
terminate this Agreement. In the event of any such termination, Buyer shall be
entitled to receive the Deposits, and thereafter, the parties shall be relieved
of any and all obligation hereunder. [Sellers acknowledge that (a) Buyer shall
be entitled to a credit at Closing up to $10,000 with respect to any such
costs, and (b) if any such cost to cure exceeds $10,000 as aforesaid, Buyer
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, and receive the return of the
Deposits].

                 (x) Compliance with Laws.  172 Corp. holds valid and
effective certificates of occupancy and all requisite zoning, building, safety,
fire and health approvals and all other permits and licenses required by
applicable law relating to the operation of the Restaurant.  To the best
knowledge of 172 Corp., and excluding any item set forth on a written schedule
to be prepared by Lewis Cohen and





                                       13
   14
delivered to Buyer no later than three (3) business days after the Effective
Date, it has not violated, and on the Closing Date will not be in violation of,
in any material respect, any federal, state, local or foreign law, regulation
or order, relating to the operation of the Restaurant or the ownership or
operation of the Property and 172 Corp. has not received any notice of any such
violation (except the Fire Notice). In the event that Buyer discovers any
violation of law that can be cured prior to the Closing, 172 Corp. shall
cooperate with Buyer to effect such cure prior thereto.

         c. Representations made only by the Land Owners. Land Owners,
severally and not jointly, represent and warrant to Buyer that:

                 (i) Ownership of the Land.  Land Owners are the sole owner
in fee simple of all of the Land, free and clear of any and all liens, claims,
taxes and encumbrances of whatsoever kind or nature, except for the Permitted
Exceptions. [Notwithstanding the foregoing, this representation shall be deemed
to have been made jointly and severally by all Sellers].

                 (ii) Litigation.  There are no claims, disputes, actions,
proceedings or investigations of any nature pending or, to the best knowledge
of the Land Owners, threatened against or involving any Land Owner, or the
Land.

                 (iii) No Executory Contracts.  The Land Owners represent that
none of them are party to any executory contracts (other than the 172 Lease)
affecting the Land or any portion of the Property, and that prior to Closing
they shall not enter into any executory contracts affecting the Land or any
portion of the Property, without the prior written consent of Buyer.

                 Each Seller's representations and warranties set forth in this
Section 6 shall be true and correct as of the Effective Date and the Closing
Date and shall survive the Closing for a period of two (2) years thereafter.
In the event any of the representations made shall be untrue or misleading in
any material respect and Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement as a result
thereof, then in addition to any and all other remedies Buyer may have, Buyer
shall be entitled to recover from the Land Owners or 172 Corp., respectively
(i.e. attributable to such respective group), any and all out of pocket costs
and independent third party expenses incurred by Buyer in any way relating to
the Property.

7.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER.  Buyer represents and
         warrants to Sellers that:

         a.      Organization and Authority.  Buyer is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California and has
all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  This Agreement and all other
agreements herein contemplated to be executed in connection herewith have been
(or upon execution will have been) duly executed and delivered by Buyer, have
been effectively authorized by all necessary action, and constitute (or upon
execution will constitute) legal, valid and binding obligations of Buyer.

         b.      Agreement Not in Breach of Other Instruments.  The execution
and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and the fulfillment of the terms hereof will not result in
a breach of any of the terms or provisions of. or constitute a default under,
or conflict with, any material agreement, indenture or other instrument to
which Buyer is a party or by which it is bound, any judgment, decree, order or
award of any court, governmental body or arbitrator, or any law, rule or
regulation applicable to Buyer, except where such default or conflict would not
have





                                       14
   15
a material adverse effect on Sellers or Buyer's ability to effect the
transactions contemplated hereby.

                 Each of Buyer's representations and warranties set forth in
this Section 7 shall be true and correct as of the Effective Date and the
Closing Date and shall survive the Closing for a period of two (2) years
thereafter; provided however, that if the subject matter of any such indemnity
or other agreement relates to the truth, accuracy or completeness of any
representation contained in this Agreement, the same shall survive the Closing
without limitation.

8.       SELLERS' COVENANTS.

         a.      Operation of Restaurant.  172 Corp. shall operate the
Restaurant substantially in accordance with prior practice and in the ordinary
course of business, and, shall exercise continuous and diligent efforts to
maximize and promote the Restaurant business through the Closing Date, in
accordance with 172 Corp.'s customary practices. Buyer recognizes and agrees
that 172 Corp. customarily allows the depletion of the perishable portions of
its Food and Beverages inventory prior to the Annual Vacation/Cleaning Period
(defined below), and Buyer cannot object (or seek a price reduction with
respect) to any such depletion in the ordinary course of business. Without
limiting the generality of the first sentence in this Section, Sellers shall
not (except with the prior written consent of Buyer, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld):  (i) enter into any transaction which would affect
Buyer or the Property after the Closing Date; (ii) sell or transfer any of the
Property, except in the ordinary course of business, (iii) mortgage, pledge, or
encumber any of the Property; (iv) amend, modify, or terminate any Executory
Contract, except in the ordinary course of business; (v) grant any salary
increases or benefits to any employee without the prior written consent of
Buyer (except that 172 Corp. may pay bonuses that do not increase an employee's
base salary and may give salary increases that expressly terminate on or before
the Closing Date), or (vi) modify or allow the lapse of any Insurance Policies
through and including the Closing Date.

         b.      Maintenance of Assets.  172 Corp. shall maintain the Property
in substantially its current state of repair, excepting normal wear and tear,
until Closing. Until Closing, 172 Corp. shall make repairs and replacements to
the Restaurant and the Personal Property in the same manner as the same have
customarily been made by 172 Corp. 172 Corp. has advised Buyer that it has
committed to purchase certain restaurant or kitchen equipment, and Sellers
acknowledge that such purchase shall not increase the Purchase Price. However,
Buyer acknowledges that in the event 172 Corp. wishes to cancel such purchase
order, 172 Corp. may do so prior to Closing (without reducing the Purchase
Price) provided that any cancellation fee or other costs relating to such
cancellation shall be paid by 172 Corp. simultaneously with such cancellation.

         c.      Annual Vacation/Cleaning Period.  172 Corp. shall prepare and
submit to Buyer for its approval a protocol for the annual cleaning program to
be conducted during the period of September 9, 1996 through September 22, 1996
(the "ANNUAL VACATION/CLEANING PERIOD"), which protocol shall consist of a
detailed description of and schedule for the proposed work and proposed service
agreements with unaffiliated third party vendors for performance of such work,
all of which shall be assignable to Buyer.  Upon Buyer's approval thereof
(which shall be deemed given unless Buyer shall deliver written objections to
172 Corp. within five (5) business days after receipt thereof), 172 Corp. shall
enter into the proposed agreements, perform any and all obligations thereunder
and take all other actions contemplated by the protocol through the closing
date.  Buyer shall assume the obligations of 172 Corp. under all such service
agreements approved or deemed approved by Buyer and shall reimburse to 172
Corp. at Closing all payments made by 172 Corp. through the day prior to the
Closing Date under such service agreements





                                       15
   16
or for the purchase of materials and supplies required by the protocol approved
by Buyer.

         d.      Cooperation With Buyer's Representatives.  172 Corp. shall
cooperate with Buyer and Buyer's Representatives in providing information and
materials pertaining to the operation of the Restaurant, including access to
the Property.  In addition, 172 Corp. shall permit a representative or employee
of Buyer to (i) remain on-site at the Restaurant in order to observe the
operations and business of the Restaurant, and (ii) to have access to the
Restaurant at reasonable times after normal business hours in order to conduct
inspections and to facilitate the preparation of plans, applications or
specifications by Buyer or Buyer's representatives. Until Closing, Buyer shall
be required to use its discretion and good faith and otherwise to observe the
reasonable requirements of 172 Corp.'s management personnel with respect to
Buyer's presence in the Restaurant.

         e.      Access to Books and Records.  Both prior and subsequent to the
Closing Date, 172 Corp., upon the reasonable request of Buyer, shall grant
Buyer access to all Books and Records in 172 Corp.'s possession.  172 Corp.
agrees that for a period of one year following the Closing Date, 172 Corp. will
provide Buyer copies of all Books and Records reasonably requested by Buyer at
cost based on copy center prices, plus reimbursement for reasonable out of
pocket costs to 172 Corp. (e.g. delivery costs).

         f.      Environmental Matters. In the event the Environmental
Inspections performed by Buyer disclose the existence of any asbestos which are
capable of being removed and disposed prior to September 9, 1996, then 172
Corp. shall use its best efforts to do so prior to September 23, 1996. Buyer
agrees to immediately disclose to 172 Corp. the contents of any written report
obtained by Buyer evidencing the existence of any asbestos in the Restaurant.
The scope and cost of such work shall be mutually agreed between 172 Corp. and
Buyer (each with an obligation to be reasonable with respect thereto), and if
the same is completed prior to Closing, the cost thereof shall be shared
equally. If such work cannot be completed prior to September 9, 1996, but can
be completed prior to September 23, 1996, then the Closing shall be deferred
until the completion thereof. If such work cannot be completed prior to
September 23, 1996, 172 Corp. shall not be required by this Agreement to
undertake any work with respect thereto prior to Closing, it being recognized
by Buyer that it shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by virtue of
environmental matters as otherwise provided herein.

         g.      Compliance with Laws. 172 Corp., and to the extent applicable,
the Land Owners, shall comply in all respects with all known laws affecting the
Land and/or the Restaurant or any aspect thereof (excepting only with respect to
Items 5 and 8 of the Fire Notice), and in any event, 172 Corp. shall not allow
any violations to interfere with the operation of the Restaurant.

         h.      Liquor License. 172 Corp., and its officers, directors and
Shareholders, shall comply with all reasonable requests of Buyer, and execute
all applications (including the application to transfer the Liquor License) and
consents, necessary or appropriate, to process Buyer's application for a
transfer of the Liquor License or to obtain a new 4COP SR license, immediately
upon the Effective Date; provided however, that 172 Corp. shall not be
obligated to undertake any action which would jeopardize the existing Liquor
License and it is recognized and agreed that the Liquor License shall not be
effectively transferred until Closing.

9.       CERTAIN EMPLOYMENT MATTERS. At Closing, 172 Corp. shall deliver a
notice to all employees of the Property terminating their employment, effective
as of the Closing Date ("172 EMPLOYEE TERMINATION NOTICE"). At Closing, Buyer
shall deliver a notice to those employees of the Property that Buyer intends to
rehire (which Buyer advises shall be  substantially all of such employees,





                                       16
   17
other than the Shareholders, defined below) commencing their employment,
effective as of the Closing Date ("BUYER'S EMPLOYEE HIRING NOTICE").  It is
recognized and agreed that Buyer's rehiring of employees shall be strictly
subject to the following understandings, unless otherwise expressly agreed in
writing by Buyer (in Buyer's sole, absolute and unbridled discretion): (i)
Buyer shall not be subject to any employee practices of 172 Corp. (including
without limitation, compensation packages, 401(k) programs, pension plans,
benefits packages, vacations and insurance programs), (ii) Buyer's initial
salary structure for those employees it elects to rehire shall not exceed the
salaries set forth on the employee/salary schedule dated July 13, 1996 once
delivered by 172 Corp. to Buyer and approved by Buyer ("EMPLOYEE SCHEDULE"),
(iii) the terms of such employment (including, without limitation, the duration
thereof, shall be subject to such practices as Buyer may determine it Buyer's
sole, absolute and unbridled discretion.

         Prior to Closing, 172 Corp. shall comply in all respects with all
applicable laws, rules and regulations with respect to all employee and labor
issues including, but not limited to, filing any notices and paying all accrued
but unpaid periodic compensation, vacation pay, sick pay and other employee
benefits due and owing to such employees.

         As to any and all employees of 172 Corp. evidenced on the Employee
Schedule and/or existing as of the Effective Date and/or the Closing Date, who
are re-hired by Buyer ("PROTECTED EMPLOYEES") and for a period of one (1) year
after the Closing, neither Sellers, nor Shareholders, nor any of them, shall
offer or accept employment of any such Protected Employee, directly or
indirectly, through affiliates or otherwise [Notwithstanding the immediately
preceding sentence, Buyer agrees that (A) Mark Vasturo shall be permitted to
hire and/or work with Joey Di Pietro with respect to a restaurant operation in
Baltimore, Maryland (provided there shall be no interference with Mark
Vasturo's obligation to work for Buyer during the 60 day period following
Closing as provided herein), and (B) 172 Corp. shall be permitted to hire its
existing bookkeeper, Marge Zelenka, solely during "off hours" and solely for
the purpose of closing out the books of 172 Corp. following the Closing].  At
Buyer's election, employee Mark Vasturo ("KEY EMPLOYEE") shall agree to
continue on a "full-time" basis to work for Buyer for a transition period of up
to sixty (60) days after the Closing Date for a total gross compensation of
$2,057.69 per week.  The terms and provisions of this Section 9 shall survive
the Closing.

         a.      Indemnification by Sellers.  Each Seller will defend,
indemnify and hold the Buyer, its officers, directors, agents, shareholders,
representatives, employees, attorneys, accountants, affiliates, beneficiaries,

claims), damages and expenses resulting from or in any way related to any
Seller's acts or omissions with respect to the operation of the Restaurant;

Seller or its agents contained in this Agreement or in any agreements between
such Seller and any third parties relating to the Property;

                 (iii)    Any and all liabilities and obligations arising

costs, expenses, penalties, damages and losses (including, but not limited to,
attorneys' fees and costs through all levels of proceedings) of every kind and
nature incurred or accrued subsequent to the Closing with respect to Buyer's
ownership or operation of the Property, whether arising from acts or omissions
of Buyer, its agents or employees or otherwise, other than infringement actions
arising after the Closing which relate to Sellers' or Buyer's use of the
Tradenames); and

                 (ii)     Any and all liabilities and obligations arising from

         c.      Survival of Provisions.  The indemnifications and other
agreements by Sellers and Buyer set forth in this Section 10 shall survive the
Closing for a period of two (2) years.

11.      CONDITIONS TO CLOSING.

         a.      Conditions to Obligations of Buyer.  The obligations of Buyer

on the part of, Sellers to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of

                          (B) Use.  All of the Licenses and Permits for
operation of the Restaurant (including the Liquor License (with respect either

conditions of its Liquor License or any laws or regulations applicable thereto.

                 (vii)    No Adverse Changes.  Between the Effective Date and
the Closing Date, there shall not have occurred any material change,

   20
                 (iii)    Authority.  All actions required to be taken by, or

         c.      Failure of Conditions.  In the event any of the foregoing
conditions to either party's obligation to close the transactions contemplated
hereunder are not satisfied by the dates set forth herein with respect thereto,
the party in whose favor such condition was set forth shall have, in addition
to any other right set forth in this Agreement, the right to waive such
condition in which case the parties shall proceed to the Closing or terminate
this Agreement by written notice to the other party and Escrow Holder in which
case this Agreement shall be deemed terminated as of the effective date of such
notice and Escrow Holder shall return all Deposits and documents in its
possession to the party who had deposited such items with Escrow Holder.

12.      PRORATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS. It is intended that Buyer is acquiring all
of 172 Corp.'s right, title and interest in and to the Property as of the
Closing Date free and clear of all obligations, liabilities, claims, debts,
taxes (except for 1996 real estate taxes), liens and encumbrances. Accordingly,
there shall be no prorations between the parties except as follows:

         a.      Utilities.  Utility meters will be read, to the extent that
the utility company will do so, during the daylight hours on the Closing Date,
with charges to that time paid by 172 Corp. and charges thereafter paid by
Buyer.  All utility deposits made by 172 Corp. shall be returned to 172 Corp.

         b.      Taxes.  Real estate and personal property taxes with respect
to the Property to be conveyed to Buyer pursuant hereto shall be prorated
through the date prior to the Closing Date; provided however, such taxes shall
be adjusted between the parties hereto from time to time after the Closing Date
when such amounts become fixed, if the amounts calculated on the Closing Date
with respect thereto differ from such fixed amounts.  Certified, confirmed and
ratified governmental liens as of the Closing Date shall be paid by 172 Corp.
Pending liens as of the Closing Date shall be assumed by Buyer, provided,
however, that where the improvement has been substantially completed as of the
Closing Date, such pending lien shall be considered as certified, confirmed or
ratified, and 172 Corp. shall, at Closing, be charged an amount equal to the
last estimate by the public body, of the assessment for the improvement.

                 With respect to real and personal property taxes for the
calendar year 1995, 172 Corp. has advised Buyer that the same have been fully
paid and that 172 Corp. has appealed the 1995 real property taxes, and that
such appeal remains pending as of this date. Any and all costs of such appeal
shall solely be the responsibility of 172 Corp. In the event that any refund
becomes due with respect to the 1995 real property taxes, such refund shall
belong solely to 172 Corp. Moreover, 172 Corp. reserves the right, at their
expense, to appeal the 1996 real property tax assessment. If such appeal
remains pending subsequent to Closing, then Buyer shall pay the 1996 real
property taxes (it being recognized that Buyer shall receive a credit against
the Purchase Price for the period between January 1, 1996 and the date prior to
the Closing Date) prior to delinquency. Any refund obtained by 172 Corp. with
respect thereto, after payment of any reasonable costs in obtaining such
refund, shall be shared between 172 Corp. and Buyer in the same proportion as
the proration of taxes as aforesaid.

         c.      Inventory.  Prior to the date which is one (1) week before the
expiration date of the Due Diligence Period (at a mutually convenient time),
Buyer and 172 Corp. shall mutually prepare an inventory of the FF&E and
Miscellaneous Personalty (the "FIRST INVENTORY").  On the date prior to the
Closing Date, Buyer and 172 Corp. shall perform a new inventory thereof (the
"SECOND INVENTORY").





                                       20
   21
To the extent any of the items of the FF&E and/or Miscellaneous Personalty
specified in the First Inventory are not set forth in the Second Inventory (and
such disappearance is not due to any act of omission of Buyer or any of its
affiliates or agents), the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to reflect such
reduction.  For purposes of calculating such adjustments, the parties shall
assign values to the FF&E and Miscellaneous Personalty equal to the actual cost
(less depreciation) of such items, or if such actual cost/depreciation data is
not available, then the value shall be based on the parties good faith estimate
of the current fair market value of the particular item(s) of the FF&E and/or
Miscellaneous Personalty. Buyer recognizes that there may be reasonable and
customary amounts of shrinkage relating to certain Supplies (e.g.  china,
glassware, paper goods), and that such reasonable and customary amounts of
shrinkage shall not affect the Purchase Price.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or
otherwise, Buyer shall have no liability for and shall not be deemed to have
assumed any of Sellers' unpaid expenses or accounts payable or other
obligations or liabilities under any Executory Contracts or otherwise with
respect to the operation of the Restaurant at any time prior to the Closing.

         d. Holdback. At Closing, a portion of the Restaurant Price in the
amount of $75,000 ("HOLDBACK PROCEEDS") shall be withheld by the Sellers'
Representative, and retained, in escrow, by Therrel Baisden & Meyer Weiss, for
a period up to three (3) months. In the event subsequent to Closing, there
shall be discovered any Seller's obligations or sums due for sales or other
taxes or for utilities consumed prior to the Closing Date ("POST CLOSING
ADJUSTMENTS"), Sellers' Representative shall use the Holdback Proceeds to pay
and satisfy the same. Sellers' Representative may disburse any remaining
Holdback Proceeds to 172 Corp. the sooner of the date (i) which is three (3)
months after the Closing Date, unless there shall then be due any sums for the
Post Closing Adjustments, or (ii) on which 172 Corp. has satisfied all of the
obligations for which the Holdback Proceeds have been established. The parties
acknowledge that the establishment of the holdback amount in the amount of
$75,000 shall not serve to limit the Sellers' liability as otherwise provided
in this Agreement.

13.      COSTS AND EXPENSES.  The closing costs shall be allocated as follows:

         a.      Land Owners shall pay the following costs and expenses in
connection with the Closing:  State documentary stamps which are required to be
affixed to the instrument of conveyance; local option surtaxes, if any; sales
taxes, if any; the cost of recording any corrective instruments; and the cost
of the Pro Forma Commitment.

         b.      Buyer shall pay the following costs and expenses in connection
with the Closing:  the cost of recording the Deed; the cost of the Survey;
title insurance premiums relating to the Title Commitment; and the cost of all
inspections.

         c.      Buyer and Sellers shall each bear their own attorneys' fees
and other professionals' fees and costs.

14.      RISK OF LOSS.  Until and including the Closing, all risk of loss or
damage to the Property shall be borne by Sellers.  If any portion of the
Property whatsoever is destroyed or damaged by fire, flood, earthquake,
vandalism or any other cause prior to the Closing, Sellers shall promptly give
notice to Buyer of such damage or destruction and the amount of insurance, if
any, covering said Property.  If such damage or loss shall involve damage in
excess of $100,000, then Buyer shall have the option, which shall be exercised
by written notice to Sellers within ten (10) days after receipt of Sellers'
notice, of (a)





                                       21
   22
accepting the Property in its damaged condition, in which event any and all
insurance proceeds payable to Sellers shall be assigned to Buyer (and Buyer
shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price for any deductible up
to $100,000), and the Purchase Price shall not be diminished thereby, or (b)
terminating this Agreement, whereupon Escrow Holder shall immediately return
the Deposits to Buyer. If such damage or loss shall involve damage less than
$100,000, Buyer shall not have a right to terminate this Agreement, and Sellers
shall cause the insurance company to pay, for the amount of such damage (or
Buyer shall be entitled to a credit therefor against the Purchase Price up to
$100,000).

15.      CONDEMNATION.  If all or any material portion of the Land is taken by,
or made subject to, condemnation, eminent domain or other governmental
acquisition proceedings (including notice that the same may thereafter by
subject to such proceedings), or in the event of any change in the zoning
designation of the Land to the effect that the Restaurant could not be operated
in substantially the same manner as it is currently being operated (in any such
case, a "TAKING"), then Buyer, at its sole option, may elect either: (a) to
agree to close and deduct from the Purchase Price an amount equal to any sum
paid to Sellers for such Taking, in which event Sellers shall assign, transfer
and set over to Buyer all of their respective right, title and interest in and
to any awards which may in the future be made on account of such Taking; or (b)
to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Sellers' Representative given
within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of such Taking, whereupon Escrow
Holder shall immediately return the Deposits to Buyer.

16.      CLOSING AND POSSESSION.  Simultaneously with the Closing, Sellers
shall deliver possession and enjoyment of all of the Property to Buyer and
Buyer shall thereupon have the immediate right to possess, develop, use, sell,
encumber and/or transfer the Property, and all and any part thereof for its own
account to the total exclusion of Sellers.

17.      COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE.  NON-SOLICITATION.

         a.      Definitions. For the purposes of this Section 17, the
following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them below:

                 (i)      "COVENANT TERM" shall mean a period beginning on the
case hereof and ending two (2) years from the date hereof.

                 (ii)     "COVENANT TERRITORY" shall mean Dade County, Broward
County and Palm Beach County, Florida.

         b.      Non-Compete.  During the Covenant Term, the Sellers covenant
and agree that neither they nor any of the shareholders comprising 172 Corp. as
of the Effective Date as set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto and made a part
hereof ("SHAREHOLDERS") nor Steven Stamler ("STAMLER") nor Mark Vasturo
("VASTURO") [the Sellers, Shareholders, Stamler and Vasturo may be referenced
herein as the "COVENANTING PARTIES"] (i) shall own, operate, manage or consult
to any Jewish style delicatessen restaurant or Jewish style delicatessen
restaurant chain or to any bagel restaurant or bagel restaurant chain located
in the Covenant Territory. [Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence,
Buyer agrees that (A) Mark Vasturo shall be permitted to hire and/or work with
Joey Di Pietro with respect to a restaurant operation in Baltimore, Maryland
(provided there shall be no interference with Mark Vasturo's obligation to work
for Buyer during the 60 day period following Closing as provided herein), and
(B) 172 Corp. shall be permitted to hire its existing bookkeeper, Marge
Zelenka, solely during "off hours" and solely for the purpose of closing out
the books of 172 Corp. following the Closing]. For and in





                                       22
   23
consideration of these covenants by Stamler and Vasturo, Buyer agrees to pay to
Stamler and Vasturo the following sums during the Covenant Term, provided that
they are not in default or violation of any of the terms of Sections 9 or 17 of
this Agreement: (i) as to Stamler: the sum of $124,000, and (ii) as to Vasturo:
the sum of $60,000, payable in one (1) lump sum at Closing as Sellers'
Representative shall direct. The Covenanting Parties have expressed their
consent to this Section 17 by signing where designated below. The Shareholders
acknowledge that they are receiving a direct benefit by this Agreement,
including without limitation, the monies received by 172 Corp. arising out of
the sale. Buyer agrees that no Covenanting Party shall have any liability under
this Section 17 for the violation of this Section 17 by another Covenanting
Party.

         c.      Non-Solicitation.  Each of the Sellers and the Shareholders
agrees that for the one (1) year period following the Closing, none of them
will, directly or indirectly, induce or encourage any employee to terminate his
or her relationship with Buyer or the Restaurant.  In addition, each of the
Sellers and the Shareholders agree that, during the said one (1) year period,
they will not, directly or indirectly, employ or attempt to employ any
employees of the Restaurant as of July 15, 1996, the Effective Date and/or the
Closing Date.

         d.      Limitations on Scope.  In the event that the provisions of
this covenant should ever be deemed to exceed the scope of business, time or
geographic limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall
be and are hereby reformed to the maximum scope, time or geographic limitations
permitted by such applicable law.  Sellers hereby agree that this covenant is a
material and substantial part of this Agreement and that (i) the geographic
limitations are reasonable; (ii) the term of the covenant is reasonable; and
(iii) the covenants are not made for the purpose of eliminating competition per
se and are reasonably related to a protectable business interest of Buyer, to
wit:  protection of the Buyer's goodwill.

         If any provision of this Section 17, as applied to any party or to any
circumstances, shall be adjudged by a court to be invalid or unenforceable, the
same shall in no way affect any other provision of this Agreement, the
application of such provision in any other circumstances, or the validity or
enforceability of this Agreement. If any provision of this Section 17, or any
part thereof, is held to be unenforceable, the provisions of this Section 17
shall be modified so that the restrictions imposed hereby are no greater than
would otherwise be permissible under applicable law.

         e.      Separate Covenants.   Sellers and Buyer intend that the
covenants contained in this Section 17 be construed as a series of separate
covenants (with identical terms except geographic coverage) for each city,
county, state or province, as the case may be, specified herein.  The parties
hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce such covenants upon the courts of any
state of the United States and any other governmental jurisdiction within the
geographical scope of such covenants.  If the courts of any one or more of such
states or jurisdictions shall hold such covenants unenforceable such
determination shall not bar or in any way affect Buyer's right to the relief
provided hereunder in the courts of any other state or jurisdiction within the
geographical scope of such covenants, as to breaches of such covenants in such
other respective states or jurisdictions.

         f.      Prohibition Against Use of the Name "Wolfie Cohen". Sellers
further agree not to operate any restaurant in any location in the United
States at any time under the name "Wolfie Cohen" or any derivation thereof, it
being recognized that although such Tradename is excluded from the Property to
be conveyed to Buyer, the use thereof by Sellers may cause confusion with
respect to Buyer's use of the name "Wolfie Cohen's Rascal House".





                                       23
   24
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the name "Wolfie Cohen's
Rascal House" is not in use by Buyer or Buyer's successors or assigns for a
continuous period of one (1) year (excluding temporary cessations for
remodeling, force majeure, sale and other cessations outside of the control of
Buyer or Buyer's successors or assigns), then Lewis Zachary Cohen shall not be
prohibited by this instrument from utilizing the name "Wolfie Cohen" in
connection with a restaurant subject to the following provisions: Lewis shall
be prohibited from using the name "Wolfie Cohen" for (i) the two (2) year
period following the Closing, and (ii) any Jewish delicatessen or bagel
restaurant.

18.      TERMINATION; REMEDIES.

         a.      Buyer's Remedies Generally. IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING FAILS TO
OCCUR BECAUSE OF EITHER A FAILURE OF SATISFACTION OF ANY OF THE CONDITIONS IN
FAVOR OF BUYER SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY SELLER'S FAILURE TO PERFORM
ANY OF SELLERS' OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THEN BUYER SHALL HAVE THE
RIGHT TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT UPON WRITTEN NOTICE TO SELLERS.  UPON SUCH
TERMINATION, SELLERS SHALL IMMEDIATELY RETURN, OR CAUSE THE ESCROW HOLDER TO
RETURN TO BUYER ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTS AND FUNDS THERETOFORE DEPOSITED OR PAID
BY BUYER.  ALTERNATIVELY, NOTWITHSTANDING SUCH FAILURE OF CONDITION AND/OR
SELLERS' BREACH, BUYER MAY ELECT TO PROCEED WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY,
RESERVING THE RIGHT TO COLLECT DAMAGES FROM SELLERS FOR ANY SUCH BREACH.
WHETHER OR NOT BUYER ELECTS TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT OR TO PROCEED WITH THE
PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY AS HEREINABOVE PROVIDED FOR, BUYER SHALL RETAIN THE
RIGHT TO EXERCISE ANY AND ALL REMEDIES WHICH BUYER MAY HAVE AGAINST SELLERS,
WHETHER AT LAW, IN EQUITY OR PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, THE RIGHT TO COMPEL SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE BY SELLERS.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 18a, BUYER
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY ONE OR MORE OF THE
LAND OWNERS, BUYER'S RIGHT TO DAMAGES AGAINST THE LAND OWNERS SHALL BE AGAINST
ONLY THE DEFAULTING LAND OWNERS, AND BUYER SHALL NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO DAMAGES
AGAINST A NON-DEFAULTING LAND OWNER. MOREOVER, IF ANY DEFAULT BY 172 CORP. OR
ANY OF THE LAND OWNERS IS NOT A WILLFUL DEFAULT OR DEFAULT THROUGH GROSS
NEGLECT (AND THE BURDEN OF PROOF WITH RESPECT THERETO SHALL LIE WITH SELLERS),
THEN BUYER'S RIGHT TO DAMAGES AS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN SHALL BE LIMITED (WITHOUT
LIMITING BUYER'S RIGHT TO SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF (i.e.
not for monetary damages) AND WITHOUT LIMITING BUYER'S RIGHT TO RECOVER THE
DEPOSITS) TO RECOVERY OF ITS THIRD PARTY COSTS, INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES.

         b.      Sellers' Remedies.  IF BUYER SHOULD DEFAULT UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT AND (i) NO SELLER SHALL BE IN DEFAULT, AND (ii) THERE SHALL HAVE BEEN
NO FAILURE OF CONDITION OR OTHER PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT ALLOWING BUYER THE
RIGHT OF TERMINATION OR BUYER THE RIGHT TO DELAY IN PERFORMING HEREUNDER, THEN
SELLERS, AS THEIR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY
NOTIFYING BUYER THEREOF AND RECEIVE OR RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED
DAMAGES.  THE PARTIES AGREE THAT SELLERS WILL SUFFER DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF
BUYER'S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS.  ALTHOUGH THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES IS
DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE, THE PARTIES AGREE





                                       24
   25
THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSITS IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLERS' LOSSES IN
THE EVENT OF BUYER'S TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT CAUSE. THUS, SELLERS
SHALL ACCEPT AND RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.  SUCH LIQUIDATED
DAMAGES SHALL CONSTITUTE SELLERS' SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.

19.      CONFIDENTIALITY.  The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be
kept in complete confidence by Sellers, their affiliates, and each of their
respective directors, officers, employees and agents, and dissemination of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and related information shall only be
made to those persons as absolutely necessary.  Sellers acknowledge that they
are aware that Buyer is a public company with listed securities and improper
disclosure of the contents of this Agreement or related information could have
an adverse effect on Buyer and its securities holders.  In the event of a
breach of this confidence, the Agreement may be immediately terminated in the
sole discretion of Buyer. Buyer shall also be required to keep the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and related information in confidence, except for
disclosures relating to securities laws and Buyer's due diligence efforts.

20.      STANDSTILL.  No Seller, nor any of their respective constituents,
officers, directors, affiliates, representatives or agents, will directly or
indirectly negotiate, cooperate in any manner with any other party, or agree to
a sale of any or all of the Property, or the stock of 172 Corp. or any other
transaction which would result in a change in control of 172 Corp. or the
Restaurant, or act in a manner which could have the effect, directly or
indirectly, of frustrating the completion of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, so long as Buyer is proceeding in good faith toward the
consummation of the transactions contemplated herein (provided, however, that
transfers among the existing shareholders of 172 Corp. or by existing
shareholders of 172 Corp.'s to trusts established by them and for the benefit
of them or their family for reasons of estate or financial planning shall not
be prohibited by this Section).

21.      ESCROW.  Escrow Holder is authorized and agrees by acceptance hereof
to promptly deposit and to hold the Deposits received by it in escrow and to
disburse same subject to clearance thereof in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.  Failure of the clearance of funds shall not
excuse performance by the depositor.  In the event of doubt as to its duties or
liabilities under the provisions of this Agreement, Escrow Holder may, in its
sole discretion, continue to hold the monies which are the subject of this
escrow until a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine
the rights of the parties thereto, or it may deposit all of the monies then
held pursuant to this Agreement with the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Dade
County, Florida, and upon notifying all parties concerned of such action, all
liability on the part of Escrow Holder shall fully terminate, except to the
extent of accounting for any monies theretofore delivered out of escrow.  In
the event of any suit wherein Escrow Holder is made a party by virtue of acting
as such Escrow Holder hereunder, or in the event of any suit wherein Escrow
Holder interpleads the subject matter of this escrow, Escrow Holder shall be
entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred through all
levels of proceedings, said fees and costs to be charged and assessed as court
costs in favor of the prevailing party.  All parties agree that Escrow Holder
shall not be liable to any party or person whomsoever from misdelivery to Buyer
or Sellers of monies subject to this escrow, unless such misdelivery shall be
due to willful breach of this Agreement, or gross negligence on the part of
Escrow Holder.  Sellers acknowledge that Escrow Holder has acted and is also
acting herein as counsel to the Buyer and Sellers have no objection thereto,
with respect to this Agreement, any dispute arising herefrom or any other
matter.

22.      RADON GAS.  Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when
it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health
risks to persons who are exposed to it over time.  Levels of radon that exceed
federal and state guidelines have been found in building in Florida.





                                       25
   26
Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from
your county public health unit.

23.      1031 EXCHANGE.

         a.      Exchange Provisions. Certain of the Land Owners may be
desirous of achieving like-kind exchange treatment under Section 1031 of the
IRC. Buyer is willing to cooperate with such Land Owners to achieve such tax
treatment so long as Buyer shall not possibly incur any cost or liability
whatsoever beyond what is otherwise provided in this Agreement or affect the
Closing Date. Accordingly, upon the Closing, the parties hereto agree that, if
so directed by Sellers' Representative, all proceeds due the Land Owners (the
("EXCHANGE PROCEEDS") shall be delivered to an escrow agent designated by
Sellers' Representative (the "EXCHANGE AGENT"), to be held by the Exchange
Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. In such event, Buyer shall be
relieved of any and all obligation with respect to the Exchange Proceeds.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (a) Buyer shall not
be required to contract for or take title to the Exchange Property, (b) the
Land Owners shall fund any and all deposits relating to the Exchange Property
from funds other than the Deposits under this Agreement, (c) the Land Owners
(jointly and severally) shall and hereby do agree to protect, defend, indemnify
and hold Buyer and Escrow Agent harmless from and against any and all claim,
demand, cost (including attorneys' fees and costs incurred through all levels
of proceedings), liability, obligation and responsibility whatsoever arising
out of, related to or in connection with this provision, (d) Sellers'
obligations under this Agreement are not contingent upon, and shall not be
delayed or otherwise affected by any Sellers' desired tax treatment, and (e)
neither Buyer nor Escrow Agent shall incur any cost or liability whatsoever
beyond what is provided in this Agreement.

24.      MISCELLANEOUS.

         a.      Notices.  Unless applicable law requires a different method of
giving notice, any and all notices, demands or other communications required or

however, Buyer may assign this Agreement, without consent of Sellers and
Sellers' Representative, to any entity managed by, wholly or partially owned

         f.      Indemnification for Brokerage.  Buyer and Sellers each
represent and warrant to the other that no broker or finder has acted on its
respective behalf in connection with this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby.  Each party hereto agrees to indemnify and hold and save
harmless the other party from any other claim or demand for commissions or
other compensation by any broker, finder or similar agent claiming to have been

         g.      Further Assurances.  From time to time after the Closing,
Sellers will execute and deliver to Buyer such instruments of sale, transfer,
conveyance, assignment and delivery, consents, assurances, powers of attorney

the Land Owners.  No waiver of any covenant, condition, or limitation herein
contained shall be valid unless made in writing and executed by the party
making the waiver.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall
be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether
or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless
otherwise expressly provided.

         j.      Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that
jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality,
or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions
hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provision of this
Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.

         k.      Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence.

         l.      Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall not be construed more
strictly against one party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact
that it may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties, it being
recognized that both Sellers and Purchaser have contributed substantially and
materially to the preparation of this Agreement.  Unless this Agreement
expressly or necessarily requires otherwise any time period measured in days
means consecutive calendar days, except that the expiration of any time period
measured in days that expires on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday
automatically will be extended to the next business day.

         m.      Agency. Sellers hereby appoint Sellers' Representative as
their true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact for the purposes of dealing
with Buyer and executing any and all consents and approvals and delivering and
receiving any and all notices contemplated in this Agreement. Notwithstanding
