Acquired Assets be sold to a Designee in connection with approval of this
Agreement and entry of the Sale Order and contemporaneously therewith or as soon
as practicable thereafter, and subject to the rights, protections, and
obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement and the Sale Order to the extent
approved by the Court. Nothwithstanding such designation and anything in this
Section 1.1(c) to the contrary, however, Purchaser shall be solely obligated for
payment of the Purchase Price and Escrow Deposit in accordance with Section 1.4
below.

         Section 1.2.    Contract Rejection and Assumption.

                 (a)         Purchaser may from time to time prior to the
Closing add to the Acquired Assets any executory contract or lease of the Seller
(a “Designated Contract”) by providing notice to Seller. Such designation shall
not modify the Purchase Price. Prior to Closing, Purchaser shall be entitled to
remove any Designated Contract from the Acquired Assets list without penalty. If
any executory Contract so added to the Designated Contracts cannot reasonably be
assumed and assigned at the Closing, Seller shall expeditiously seek and effect
the assumption and assignment to Purchaser of such Contracts after the Closing,
but in any event within 30 days after the Closing.

                 (b)         Purchaser may from time to time after the Closing,
but not later than 30 days after the Closing, request that Seller file a motion
to assume and assign any additional executory Contract to Purchaser, provided
that Seller has not previously rejected such Contract. Seller shall use its
reasonable best efforts to effectuate such assumption and assignment.

                 (c)         Pursuant to Section 1.2(a) and (b) above, Purchaser
may direct that a Designated Contract be assumed and assigned to a Designee,
subject to an order approving such assumption and assignment, which Designee
shall directly assume responsibility for any cure payments on such Designated
Contracts pursuant to Section 1.3(a) below. Seller shall have a reasonable
opportunity to review each such designation to determine whether the Designee
has the financial ability to perform and can meet the requirements of Section
365(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, provided that Seller may reject such designation
only if it determines, in its reasonable business judgment, that such Designee
does not satisfy such requirements. Seller’s reasonable rejection of any such
designation shall not be a breach of Seller’s representations, warranties, or
covenants and shall not be a failure of conditions precedent to Closing or
otherwise entitle Purchaser to terminate this Agreement.

         Section 1.3.    Assumed and Excluded Liabilities.

                 (a)         On the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser (or, if applicable, its
Designee) shall assume from Seller and thereafter pay, perform or discharge in
accordance with their terms, Seller’s cost to cure all monetary defaults arising
under all Designated Contracts pursuant to Section 365(b) of the Bankruptcy Code
(the “Assumed Liabilities”).

                 (b)        Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser (or,

limited to the following:

 
(i)        Seller’s liabilities or obligations under this Agreement and any

of its Control Group (as defined under IRS Code Section 414(b), (c) or (m)),

 
(iv)        any Collective Bargaining Agreements;

 
(v)        any Liabilities pursuant to any Contract that is not, or is no longer
deemed to be pursuant to Section 1.2, a Designated Contract;

Liabilities (including Liabilities in respect of advances or loans, occupational
safety, workers’ or workmen’s compensation, grievance proceedings or actual or
threatened litigation, suits, claims, demands or governmental proceedings) that
arose or were incurred on or before the Closing, or that are based on events
occurring or conditions existing on or before the Closing, or that arose out of
or related to the ownership, operation, use or control of the Acquired Assets or
the Business prior to the Closing;

 
(vii)        any liability or investigatory, corrective or remedial obligation
(contingent or otherwise, and including any liability or obligation for response
costs, personal injury, property damage or natural resource damage), whenever
arising or occurring, arising under any local, state or federal environmental
and safety requirements with respect to the Seller, the Seller’s Business, the
Acquired Assets, the Designated Contracts, the Real Property or any other
current or former operations or facilities of Seller or the Business (including
without limitation any arising from the on-site or off-site release, threatened
release, treatment, storage, disposal, or arrangement for disposal of any
hazardous or toxic materials, substances, or wastes), whether or not
constituting a breach of any representation or warranty herein or whether or not
set forth on any disclosure schedule hereto (collectively, the “Environmental
Liabilities”);

- 6 -

 
(viii)        any liabilities and obligations of Seller for federal, state,
local or foreign Taxes that have accrued prior to the Closing Date, whether or
not assessed, invoiced, or due and payable by the Closing Date, including but
not limited to any liabilities related to Taxes arising as a result of such
Seller at any time being a member of an affiliated group as defined in Section
1504(a) of the IRS Code, with any necessary prorations for Taxes in connection
with Closing to be made in accordance with local custom and usage; and

 
(ix)        any liabilities and obligations of Seller for utility services
related to any of the Acquired Assets or Designated Contracts, such as gas,
electricity, water and sewer, to and through the Closing Date, based on a final
reading for any utility service or, where such is unavailable as of the Closing
Date, based on a daily proration of such costs when the first bill covering the
period including the Closing Date is received.

         Section 1.4.    Purchase Price; Escrow Deposit.

                 (a)        Purchase Price. In consideration for the Acquired
Assets, Purchaser shall pay to Seller at the Closing the amount of $5,450,000
(the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be paid by wire transfer of
immediately available funds at the Closing. At least one business day prior to
the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to Purchaser in writing the account
information for payment of the Purchase Price. Except as otherwise provided
herein with respect to prorations, Purchaser shall have no right to setoff or
otherwise reduce the Purchase Price prior to or at the Closing; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to waive or otherwise affect
any condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to effectuate the Closing or
any right to terminate this Agreement.

                 (b)        Escrow Deposit. Within five (5) business days of the
execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deposit with LaSalle Bank National
Association (the “Escrow Agent”) either a cash payment (the “Cash Deposit”) or
an irrevocable stand-by letter of credit, in a form mutually agreed upon by the
parties (the “Letter of Credit”), in the amount of $545,000. The Cash Deposit or
Letter of Credit, as applicable, including any interest earned thereon, are
sometimes referred to in the Agreement collectively as the “Escrow Deposit.” The
Escrow Deposit shall be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of
an escrow agreement of a form mutually agreeable to the parties (the “Escrow
Agreement”). The Escrow Deposit shall be nonrefundable except in accordance with
Section 7.4. The parties shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver the
Escrow Deposit to Seller, which amount shall be credited against payment of the
Purchase Price unless returned to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 1.4(b).
Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may at any time replace any Letter of Credit
held as part of the Escrow Deposit with an equal amount of cash, in which case
the Letter of Credit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser. The Escrow Deposit
shall be credited against payment of the Purchase Price if Purchaser and Seller
consummate the Closing, irrespective of whether Seller had previously accepted a
competing bid or otherwise.

        Section 1.5.    Allocation of Purchase Price.    The Purchase Price and
the Assumed Liabilities shall be allocated to the Acquired Assets for all
purposes (including tax and financial accounting purposes) in a manner agreed to
by Purchaser and Seller in good faith. Purchaser and Seller shall file all tax
returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information
reports in a manner consistent with such values. Purchaser shall prepare and
deliver to Seller, within sixty (60) days after the determination of the
Purchase Price after adjustment by the Adjustment Amount (if any), a Form 8564
as required to be filed under section 1060 of the IRS Code. Such allocation of
the Purchase Price will not be binding in the Chapter 11 Case upon Seller’s
creditors or other parties in interest.

related notice of appeal or order of stay or application for reconsideration.
Seller shall also provide Purchaser with copies of any other or further notice

the Section 363/365 Order shall have been entered and not been stayed and
Purchaser (in its sole discretion) has waived in writing the condition set forth
