(e) Financial Statements.

(i) Attached to Disclosure Schedule 7(d) is a true, correct, and complete copy of the Financial Statements. The Financial Statements fairly present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Seller (including the Acquired Entities) at the date and for the periods indicated therein and were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal recurring year-end adjustments (the effect of which will not, individually or in the aggregate, be materially adverse) and the absence of notes (that, if included, would not differ materially from those included in the most recent audited balance sheet included in the Financial Statements). Seller has made available previously and will deliver to Buyer at Closing all books and financial records including accounting work papers from June 30, 2000 through the Closing Date for Seller and each of the Acquired Entities.

(ii) Seller and each of the Acquired Entities maintain accurate books and records reflecting their assets and liabilities and maintain proper and adequate internal accounting controls of financial reporting that provide assurance that (A) transactions are executed with management’s authorization, (B) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Seller and to maintain accountability for the Seller’s consolidated assets, (C) access to the Seller’s assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s authorization, (D) the reporting of the Seller’s assets has been compared with existing assets at regular intervals, and (E) accounts, notes and other receivables and inventory are recorded accurately, and proper and adequate procedures are implemented to collect them on a timely basis.

(iii) The Seller and the Acquired Entities maintain disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such controls and procedures are effective to ensure that all material

information concerning the Seller and the Acquired Entities is made known on a timely basis to the individuals responsible for the preparation of the Seller’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other public disclosure documents. The Seller has delivered to Buyer, all written descriptions of, and all policies, manuals and other documents promulgating, such disclosure controls and procedures.

(iv) The CEO and CFO of the Seller have signed, and the Seller has furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, all certifications required by Section 906 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002; such certifications contain no qualifications or exceptions to the matters certified therein and have not been modified or withdrawn; and neither the Seller nor any of its officers has received notice from any Government Authority questioning or challenging the accuracy, completeness, form or manner of filing or submission of such certification.

(f) Absence of Certain Changes or Events; Changes in Assets. Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or the Bankruptcy Case, since the date of the latest balance sheet included in the Financial Statements, (i) Seller and the Acquired Entities have operated the Business in the ordinary course of business and (ii) there have occurred no changes or events that, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect. At the Closing Date, the Assets will include all of the assets of Seller as of the Execution Date that would have been Assets if the Closing had been held on the Execution Date except to the extent changes occur between the Execution Date and the Closing Date in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices and the Acquired Entities will own and continue to hold all of their assets as of the Execution Date except to the extent changes occur between the Execution Date and the Closing Date in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices.

(g) Contracts. Disclosure Schedule 7(g) contains a true, correct, and complete list of the Material Contracts as of the date hereof, indicating the scheduled expiration date of each Material Contract, and has been delivered to Seller a true, complete, and correct copy of each of the Material Contracts. Seller and the Acquired Entities have not released or waived any of their respective material rights under any Material Contract. None of Seller’s or the Acquired Entities’ rights under any of their respective Material Contracts have been assigned nor have any of their respective Material Contracts been terminated or canceled. Subject to any notice requirements and to obtaining any consents required for assignment described in Disclosure Schedule 7(g), the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and in the Ancillary Agreements will not have an adverse effect on the validity, enforceability, or continuity of any Material Contract. Assuming the payment of the relevant Cure Amounts, there does not exist any default under any Material Contract on the part of Seller or any of the Acquired Entities or any other Person who is a party thereto (nor has any event occurred that, with notice and/or lapse of time, would become such a default). Assignment to Buyer of the equity interests in the Acquired Entities and the Real Property Leases and the Other Leases and Contracts constituting part of the Assumed Liabilities does not require any notice or consent and will not default, alter or terminate any such Real Property Leases and the Other Leases and Contracts, and such assignment will confer and convey all of Seller’s rights thereunder to Buyer.

(h) Vendors. Disclosure Schedule 7(h) sets forth a list (including names) of all the suppliers from which Seller or any of the Acquired Entities ordered materials,

supplies, merchandise and other goods for the Business and to which Seller or any of the Acquired Entities paid, or are obligated to pay, an aggregate purchase price of $10,000 or more during the period commencing June 30, 2002, and ending on the November 30, 2003 and the amount for which each such supplier invoiced Seller or any of the Acquired Entities during such period. Except as disclosed in Disclosure Schedule 7(h), neither Seller nor any of the Acquired Entities has received any written notice that any supplier set forth on Disclosure Schedule 7(h) will not sell materials, supplies, merchandise and other goods to Seller at any time after the Closing Date on terms and conditions similar to those imposed on current sales subject to general and customary price increases. No supplier of Seller or any of the Acquired Entities has indicated within the past 12 months that it will stop, decrease the rate of, or increase the prices (other than general and customary price increases) for, supplying materials, products, or services to Seller, any of the Acquired Entities, or to the Business (whether as a result of the sale of the Assets to Buyer or otherwise). No supplier has notified Seller or any of the Acquired Entities in writing within the past 12 months that it will stop or decrease the amount of sales of the products of the Business (whether as a result of the sale of the Assets to Buyer or otherwise). Seller is unaware of any reason that any material change may occur (whether as a result of the sale of the Assets to Purchaser or otherwise) in the goodwill or relationships of Seller and the Acquired Entities with their respective suppliers, which change could have a Material Adverse Effect on Seller or the Business.

(i) No Conflicts or Violations. Upon obtaining the Confirmation Order, the execution and delivery of the Seller Transaction Documents, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Seller Transaction Documents, and the performance of, fulfillment of, and compliance with the terms and conditions of the Seller Transaction Documents by Seller do not and will not, automatically or with notice and/or lapse of time: (i) conflict with or result in a breach of the organizational documents of Seller or any of the Acquired Entities; (ii) violate any Law, (iii) violate or conflict with or constitute a default under any agreement, instrument, or writing of any nature to which Seller or any of the Acquired Entities is a party or by which Seller, any of the Acquired Entities or any of the Assets are bound; or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the Assets.

(j) Title to Assets. Each of Seller and the Acquired Entities has good title to the Assets, as applicable, free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens. Each of Seller and the Acquired Entities enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession of all premises and goods leased by it under each lease included in the Assets. At the Closing, the Buyer will acquire, effective as of the Effective Time, good title to the Assets, free and clear of Liens except for Permitted Liens.

(k) Title to Personal Assets. A true, correct, and complete list of material Personal Assets owned by Seller and the Acquired Entities is set forth on Disclosure Schedule 7(k). Each of Seller and the Acquired Entities has good and valid title to all the Personal Assets owned by it and a valid and enforceable right to use all Personal Assets leased by or licensed to it, in each case, free and clear of all liens, imperfections of title, and encumbrances of any nature whatsoever other than the Permitted Liens.

(l) Accounts Receivable. Disclosure Schedule 7(l) is a true, correct and complete listing and aging of the Seller’s and the Acquired Entities’ Accounts Receivables as of the last day of the last full calendar month preceding the date hereof

determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and determined in a manner consistent with the presentation in the Financial Statements. All of such Accounts Receivable have arisen in bona fide arm’s length transactions in the ordinary course of business and are valid and binding obligations of the account debtors. None of the Accounts Receivable are subject to counterclaims or set-offs and all Accounts Receivable are collectible in full in the ordinary course of business within 180 days of the relevant invoice date, except to the extent that reserves for doubtful accounts have been established by the Seller and the Acquired Entities and are set forth on Disclosure Schedule 7(l) and which reserves have been adequately reflected on, and are consistent with presentation in, the Financial Statements. The reserves for doubtful accounts established by the Seller and the Acquired Entities and reflected on Disclosure Schedule 7(l) or on the Financial Statements have been or shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and are and shall be consistent with the presentation in the Financial Statements.

(m) No Undisclosed Liabilities. Neither Seller nor the Acquired Entities has any liabilities or obligations, either accrued or contingent, whether or not required to be reflected in Financial Statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and whether due or to become due, except: (i) liabilities reflected in Seller’s latest audited or unaudited balance sheet, (ii) liabilities specifically described in this Agreement or in Disclosure Schedule 7(m), or (iii) liabilities not exceeding $50,000 in the aggregate incurred in the ordinary course of business since the date of Seller’s latest audited or unaudited balance sheet.

(n) Litigation.

Buyer shall cause all necessary amendments to the organizational documents of the Acquired Entities to be filed with the secretary of state or any other appropriate agency, including, but not limited to filing of certificates or articles of amendment.

(d) Indemnification.

(i) Indemnification by Seller. Seller hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Buyer and agrees to reimburse Buyer for any and all Damages suffered by Buyer at any time after the Closing in respect of:

(A) any and all debts, liabilities, claims, and obligations of Seller or that arise with respect to the Business other than, in each case, the Assumed Liabilities; and

(B) any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or nonfulfillment of any covenant made by Seller under this Agreement or any of the other Seller Transaction Documents.

(ii) Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Seller and will reimburse Seller for any and all Damages suffered by Seller at any time after the Closing in respect of:

(A) all Assumed Liabilities and all debts, liabilities, claims and obligations arising with respect to the Business on or after the Effective Time, except, in each case, to the extent Seller is required to indemnify Buyer therefor; and

(B) any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or nonfulfillment of any covenant made by Buyer under this Agreement or any of the other Buyer Transaction Documents.

(iii) Expiration of Indemnification. All of the representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement shall survive for the 365-day period following the Closing Date (the “Indemnity Period”).

(iv) Notice of Indemnity Claim. Any Person entitled to indemnification under the provisions of this Subparagraph 10(d) (an “Indemnified Person”) will give prompt notice to the Person from whom it is seeking indemnification under this Paragraph (the “Indemnifying Person”) of any matter with respect to which it seeks indemnification under this Agreement prior to expiration of the Indemnity Period. The failure of any Indemnified Person to give notice as provided herein will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Paragraph except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Such notice must specify in reasonable detail the nature of such claim for indemnification and the circumstances under which it has arisen, which, in the case of a claim that arises from a claim or action against the Indemnified Person by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), cannot be asserted by the Indemnified Party until asserted by such third party.

(v) Assumption of Defense. If any Third Party Claim is made or brought against an Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person shall, at its sole cost and expense, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person by giving written notice thereof to the Indemnified Person. Unless and until the defense is so assumed, the

Indemnified Person may assume the defense thereof at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Person, subject, however, to the right of the Indemnifying Person to assume the defense at any time prior to the settlement, compromise, or final determination of such Third Party Claim upon written notice to the Indemnified Person. The Person who assumes the defense under this Agreement will defend the Third Party Claim in good faith. Notwithstanding the fact that the Indemnifying Person has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person will nevertheless have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to participate in such defense and to be represented by attorney of its choosing. However, while the Indemnifying Person has assumed the defense, it will have the right to control such defense.

(vi) Settlement. An Indemnifying Person who has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim under this Paragraph will be entitled to settle or compromise such Third Party Claim but only if it gives the Indemnified Person advance notice of such proposed settlement or compromise and the Indemnified Person gives its consent to such proposed settlement or compromise, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnified Person may not object to any settlement or compromise proposed by the Indemnifying Person without good reason. It will be considered good reason if the proposed settlement or compromise (i) does not contain as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Person of a release from all liability with respect to the Third Party Claim, (ii) contains any admission against interest on the part of the Indemnified Person, (iii) contains an admission of guilt or wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Person, (iv) provides for any remedy or sanctions against the Indemnified Person other than the payment of money that the Indemnifying Person agrees to and is able to pay, or (v) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Person, would create a legal precedent that would jeopardize its position in pending or threatened litigation that involves the Person who brought such claim or action or any other Person.

(e) Seller’s Use of Cash. Seller shall use the Cash Purchase Price and the Cash Reserves to pay Seller’s Administrative Expenses, Cure Amounts, other expenses and claims required to be paid by Seller or the Liquidating Joint Debtors pursuant to the Plan. On or before December 31, 2004, Seller shall deliver to Buyer any remaining Cash Reserves that are not reasonably necessary to be retained for Seller’s expenses required to be paid under the Plan.

11. Miscellaneous.

(a) Attorneys’ Fees. If any party hereto brings an action or other proceeding to enforce or interpret the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party in that action or proceeding shall be entitled to have and recover from the non-prevailing party all such fees, costs, and expenses (including all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) as the prevailing party may suffer or incur in the pursuit or defense of such action or proceeding.

(b) Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications hereunder will be in writing and will be personally delivered, delivered by facsimile or courier service, or mailed, certified with first class postage prepaid, to the address set forth below the signature of the party to this Agreement. Each such notice, request,

demand, or other communication will be deemed to have been given (whether actually received or not) on the date of actual delivery thereof, if personally delivered or delivered by facsimile transmission (if receipt is confirmed at the time of such transmission by telephone or facsimile-machine-generated confirmation), or on the third Business Day following the date of mailing, if mailed in accordance with this Paragraph, or on the day specified to the courier service for delivery to the intended recipient (if such day is one on which the courier service will give normal assurances that such specified delivery will be made). Any notice, request, demand, or other communication given otherwise than in accordance with this Subparagraph will be deemed to have been given on the date actually received. Any party may change its address for purposes of this Subparagraph by giving written notice of such change to all other parties in the manner hereinabove provided. Whenever any notice is required to be given by Law or by this Agreement, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, will be deemed equivalent to the giving of that notice.

(c) Non-Waiver; Rights are Cumulative. Neither a failure of a party to this Agreement to exercise any power reserved to it in this Agreement or to insist upon compliance by any other party hereto with any obligation or condition in this Agreement nor any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof will constitute a waiver of such first party’s rights to demand exact compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Waiver by a party to this Agreement of any particular default will not affect or impair such party’s right with respect to any subsequent default of the same or of a different nature; nor will any delay, forbearance, or omission of such party to exercise any power or right arising out of any breach or default by any other party hereto of any of the terms, provisions, or covenants of this Agreement affect or impair such first party’s rights; nor will such constitute a waiver by such first party of any rights hereunder or rights to declare any subsequent breach or default. Subsequent acceptance by a party to this Agreement of any performance or payments due to it hereunder will not be deemed to be a waiver by such first party of any preceding breach by any other party of any terms, provisions, covenants, or conditions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, each party’s rights under this Agreement are cumulative and neither the existence of, nor the exercise or enforcement by a party of, any right or remedy under this Agreement will preclude the exercise or enforcement by such party of any other right or remedy under this Agreement or Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of a party to proceed with the Closing shall constitute a waiver by such party of any conditions to Closing not satisfied as of the Closing Date if such party is notified in writing at or prior to the Closing that such condition has not been satisfied.

(d) No Strict Construction. This Agreement is the result of substantial negotiations among the parties and their counsel and has been prepared by their joint efforts. Accordingly, the fact that counsel to one party or another may have drafted this Agreement or any portion hereof is immaterial and this Agreement will not be strictly construed against any party.

(e) Construction. Whenever the context requires, the gender of all words used in this Agreement includes the masculine, feminine, and neuter.

(f) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future Laws effective during the term hereof, such provision will be fully severable and this

Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement; the remaining provisions of this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of each such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable.

(g) Parties Bound; Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto (including following the change of control of any such party) and their respective successors and assigns. Seller may not assign its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer. Buyer may assign all of its rights under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates and, as security, to any lender to Buyer or any of its Affiliates in connection with the refinancing of the Working Capital Loan and/or the Term Loan Note but doing so will not relieve the Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement. Any other assignment by the Buyer shall require the Seller’s prior written consent.

(h) Entirety; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement (including any Exhibits), the Plan, the Disclosure Statement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements or understandings relating to the subject matter hereof, including, but not limited to, the Letter of Intent, and may be modified or amended only by an instrument in writing executed by each of the parties hereto sought to be bound by such modification or amendment. Any party may waive any of the conditions contained herein or any of the obligations of any other party hereunder, but any such waiver will be effective only if in writing and signed by the party waiving such conditions or obligations.

(i) Paragraph Headings. The Paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(j) Bankruptcy Court Jurisdiction. BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT THE BANKRUPTCY COURT SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OVER ALL DISPUTES AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO: (i) THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY DOCUMENT EXECUTED PURSUANT HERETO AND/OR (ii) THE PROPERTY AND/OR ASSUMED LIABILITIES, AND BUYER EXPRESSLY CONSENTS TO AND AGREES NOT TO CONTEST SUCH EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION.

(k) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY CODE AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OR CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF TEXAS.

(l) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and will be effective when each party hereto has executed at least one counterpart, with the same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts will be construed together and evidence only one agreement, which, notwithstanding the actual date of execution of any counterpart, will be deemed to be dated the day and year first written above. In making proof of this Agreement, it will not be necessary to account for a counterpart executed by any party other than the party against whom enforcement is sought or to account for more than one counterpart executed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

(m) Execution by Facsimile. The manual signature of any party hereto that is transmitted to any other party by facsimile will be deemed for all purposes to be an original signature.

Executed on the date or dates indicated below, to be effective as of the Execution Date.
