corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the State of Arizona. Seller is duly qualified and in good standing as a
foreign corporation in all jurisdictions where the nature of the property owned
or leased by it, or the nature of the business conducted by it, makes such
qualification necessary and the absence of such qualification would have a
material adverse effect on the business or financial


                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8
condition of Seller. Seller has all requisite power and authority to carry on
its business as it is now being conducted and to own the properties and assets

Simula of their obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby.

         2.3 DEFAULTS; NO VIOLATION. Neither Seller nor Simula is in default
under, nor has any event occurred which, with the lapse of time or action by a
third party, would result in a material default under, any of the Leases or
Contracts or any other outstanding agreement, default under which could result
in any lien on any of the Assets except as disclosed on Schedule 2.3. Except as
disclosed on Schedule 2.3, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
nor the performance by Seller or Simula of their respective obligations
hereunder nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (a)
violate any provision of its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or financing or
other agreements; (b) violate, or be in conflict with, or constitute a default
under, or permit the termination of any of the Leases or Contracts, or cause the
acceleration of the maturity of any obligation of Seller thereunder or result in
the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of the Assets; (c) require the
agreement or consent of any other party; or (d) violate any material statute or
law or any judgment, decree, order, regulation or rule of any court or
governmental authority to which Seller is subject.

         2.4 TAXES. Seller has filed all federal, state, employment, corporate
franchise and local tax returns or information returns required to be filed by
it with respect to which a failure to do so would




                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9
result in any lien on any of the Assets. All of such returns have been prepared

paid or accrued for all taxes and assessments (including, without limitation,
income, excise, unemployment, worker's compensation, social security,
occupation, franchise, property, sales and use taxes, import duties or charges,
and all penalties and interest in respect thereof) due and payable with respect
to which a failure to do so would result in any lien on any of the Assets.
Seller has not been audited by any taxing authority, nor is Seller aware that
any taxing authority contemplates such an audit, nor has Seller signed any
extension agreement with any taxing authority.

         2.5 LITIGATION. There is no investigation, audit, litigation or
proceeding pending or, so far as is known, threatened against Seller at law or
in equity before any court or other governmental agency, which if adversely
decided could, except as set forth on Schedule 2.5: (i) result in any liability
for Purchaser; (ii) result in any lien on any of the Assets; (iii) have an
adverse effect on Seller's ability to perform its obligations under the
Agreement; or (iv) have an adverse effect on the Business; provided that, in any
event, Seller shall retain the defense of any such claims pursuant to, and in
accordance with, the terms of Section 7.

                                      -18-
<PAGE>   19
         Note to the extent of the cash proceeds applied against it, (B) an

                  (c) Any contract, tort or other claim based on an occurrence
after the Closing attributable to the actions of Purchaser or conduct of the
Business by Purchaser.

         7.3 LIMITATIONS ON OBLIGATIONS TO INDEMNIFY.

                  (a) Except based upon fraud neither Seller nor Purchaser shall
have any obligation to indemnify the indemnitee in respect of any Loss or Losses
to the extent such Losses total less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000).

                  (b) No party shall have any obligation to indemnify the other
party in respect of


                                      -31-
<PAGE>   32
(i) Losses exceeding Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) less, in the event Seller
or Simula is the indemnifying party, the amount of any indebtedness then owing
from Purchaser to Seller, or (ii) Losses a claim for which has not been made
hereunder within three (3) years of the Closing Date.

                  (c) If any party to this Agreement is of the opinion that it
has a claim against another party for indemnification hereunder, it shall notify
said party of the facts and circumstances of such claim. Such notice shall
furnish sufficient information to enable the other party to evaluate reasonably
the facts or claims and Losses arising therefrom. The assertion of a claim shall
be made in good faith.

                  (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of any notice of
claim or commencement of any action, such party shall provide a copy of such
claim, process or other pleadings to the indemnifying party. Such indemnifying
party may request the right to defend, at its own expense and by its own
counsel, any such matter asserted. In any event, the indemnitee and the
indemnifying party and its counsel shall cooperate in the compromise of, or
defense against, any such asserted liability and both parties shall have the
right to participate in the defense. In the event that the indemnifying party
shall decline to participate in or assume the defense, the indemnitee must
supply the indemnifying party with a copy of the final court judgment or decree
showing liability. The indemnitee shall have the right to settle any claim
against it subject to the prior written approval of the indemnifying party.

         7.4 DEFENSE OF ACTIONS. In connection with any claim giving rise to
indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal
proceeding by a person who is not a party to this Agreement, the indemnifying
party, at its sole cost and expense, may, upon written notice to the indemnitee,
assume the defense of such claim or legal proceeding, to the extent that the
indemnifying party admits in writing its liability to the indemnitee with
respect to all material elements thereof. If the


                                      -32-
<PAGE>   33
indemnifying party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding,
the obligations of the indemnifying party hereunder as to such claim or legal
proceeding shall be limited to taking all steps necessary in the defense or
settlement thereof and to holding the indemnitee harmless from and against any
losses, damages, expenses or liability caused by or arising out of any
settlement approved by the indemnifying party or any judgment in connection with
such claim or legal proceeding. Each indemnitee agrees that it will cooperate
with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action, the defense of
which is assumed by the indemnifying party. Except with the consent of the
indemnitee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, the indemnifying
party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment arising from any such claim
or legal proceeding which, in each case, does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the delivering by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnitee
of a release from all liability in respect thereof, unless the indemnifying
party has actually paid to the indemnitee the full amount of such judgment or
settlement. If the indemnifying party does not assume the defense of any claim
or litigation, the indemnitee may defend against such claim or litigation in
such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling
such claim or litigation, after giving notice of the same to the indemnifying
party, on such terms as the indemnitee may deem appropriate. The indemnifying
party will promptly reimburse the indemnitee in accordance with the provisions
hereof for all damages, costs and expenses incurred by such indemnitee.

         7.5 PAYMENT; OFFSET; ARBITRATION. All indemnification hereunder shall
be effected as provided below:

                  (a) With respect to matters for which an indemnitee has a
claim for indemnification, such indemnification and the payment therefore shall
be upon mutual agreement by the parties and paid by cash or on other terms in
the amount of the indemnification liability as mutually agreed by the parties;


                                      -33-
<PAGE>   34
                  (b) With respect to any indemnification under this Section 7
not resolved pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, the parties shall submit the
dispute to binding arbitration. With respect to disputes that are not resolved
by the mutual agreement by the parties, each party shall name an arbitrator
within twenty (20) days after either party notifies the other in writing that
there is a dispute and the two arbitrators shall name a third arbitrator. If
either party fails to select an arbitrator within twenty (20) days as required
herein or if the two arbitrators fail to select a third arbitrator within twenty
(20) days as required herein, then the presiding judge of the Maricopa County
Arizona Superior Court shall appoint such arbitrator or arbitrators. The
arbitrators shall render a decision within sixty (60) days after their
appointment and shall conduct all proceedings pursuant to Arizona Revised
Statues, Section 12-1501 through Section 12-1517 and the rules of the American
Arbitration Association governing commercial transactions then existing, to the
extent that such rules are not inconsistent with statues and this Agreement.
Judgment upon the reward rendered under arbitration may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction. The cost of the arbitration procedure shall be borne by the
losing party or if the decision is not clearly in favor or one party or the
other then the costs shall be borne as determined by such arbitration
proceeding. If any proceeding or action shall be brought to recover any amount
under this provision the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the
other party as part of the prevailing party's costs, reasonable attorney's fees,
the amount of which shall be fixed by the arbitrators. The provisions for
binding arbitration shall pertain solely to matters of indemnification under
Section 7, and shall not pertain to the resolution of legal disputes among the
parties generally.

         7.6 TALGO LITIGATION INDEMNIFICATION. Notwithstanding the limitation to
indemnification provided under Section 7.3(a), Seller shall indemnify and hold
harmless Purchaser from any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and
expenses (including without limitation, settlement costs and any legal or other
expenses for investigating or defending any actions or threatened actions)
arising out of


                                      -34-
<PAGE>   35
Seller's dispute with Talgo, Inc. described on Schedule 2.5 and Schedule 2.19
(the "Talgo Dispute"). Seller shall, at its own cost and expense, defend against
any claim or counterclaim brought by Talgo, Inc. relating to the Talgo Dispute.
Both Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably agree to any settlement with Talgo,
Inc. related to the Talgo Dispute. In the event Purchaser has not recovered the
full amount of the trade account balance payable from Talgo, Inc. related to the
Talgo Dispute by the maturity date as defined in the Note or a Refinancing Note,
as the case may be, the principal amount of the Note or Refinancing Note if it
has a later maturity, shall be reduced by the amount of such non-collection.

                                   TERMINATION

         8.1 TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:

         (a) By mutual written consent of Purchaser and Seller;

         (b) By any party if it reasonably determines that the purchase of the
Assets has become impractical by reason of the institution by state, local or
federal governmental authorities, or by any other person, or entity of any
material litigation, arbitration, grievance or other proceedings relating to
this transaction against any of the parties, and notifies the other parties in
writing of such determination;

         (c) By Seller for any reason on or after August 31, 1999; or

         (d) By Seller, at its election, if Bank One has not agreed and
consented to the purchase


                                      -35-
<PAGE>   36
and sale and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement within ten (10)
days of Closing. If Seller elects to so terminate this Agreement, the Agreement
shall be terminated and rescinded, the Business and Assets returned to the
possession and control of Seller, all transactions effected hereunder shall be
reversed, and the respective rights and obligations of all parties hereto and
Simula, Inc. shall be restored to pre-Closing status, all without any further
obligations to or among any parties hereunder.

                                    SECTION 9

counsel, auditors and accountants and any finders' fees) incidental to the
preparation and carrying out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby.

         9.4 FINDERS' FEES. Each of the parties represents and warrants to the
other that, to the extent it has engaged any broker, finder or other person who
is entitled to a brokerage or other fee or commission in respect of the
execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, such fee is the sole responsibility of such party.
Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless against and in respect of any
and all claims, liabilities and/or expenses which may be


                                      -36-
<PAGE>   37
asserted against Seller by any such broker or other person on the basis of any
arrangement or agreement made or alleged to have been made by Purchaser, its
agents or employees; and Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless in
respect of any and all claims, liabilities and/or expenses which may be asserted
against Purchaser by any such broker or other person on the basis of any
arrangement or agreement made or alleged to have been made by Seller, its agents
or employees.

STAYED

1)   TALGO, INC. V. COACH AND CAR EQUIPMENT CORPORATION, WASHINGTON DOCKET NO.
     99-2-03748-1 SEA

         Seller entered into a new seat design and manufacturing contract with
Talgo, Inc. dated April 7, 1998. Seller's performance under the contract was
challenged by Talgo on the grounds of late delivery and product conformance to
specification. Talgo instituted litigation in Washington State Superior Court.
The litigation was stayed based on a negotiated Settlement Agreement dated March
16, 1999. See document numbers 205 and 206. Under the Settlement Agreement,
Seller is required to complete agreed upon repairs and final shipment and Talgo
is required to remit the balance of $461,206 owing on the contract. Seller has
substantially performed under the Settlement Agreement. To date, Talgo has paid
approximately $140,000 on the remaining balance under the Settlement Agreement.
Seller intends to reopen the litigation and counterclaim against Talgo for
payment of the balance.

2)   BUKER V. COACH AND CAR EQUIPMENT CORPORATION, ILLINOIS DOCKET NO. 99 M3
     1623

         Seller's landlord for the Elk Grove, Illinois premises instituted legal
action against Seller for delinquent rent and possession of the premises. Seller
and its landlord subsequently entered into a Lease Amendment dated June 15,
1999. See document 22-A. Under the terms of the Lease Amendment, the litigation
will be dismissed on or before July 31, 1999.

THREATENED
LEO AVILES

         Mr. Aviles was discharged from employment with Seller as a result of
reduction in workforce. Mr. Aviles has claimed retaliatory discharge. Seller
intends to vigorously defend this claim as Seller believes Mr. Aviles' claim has
no merit.

         Purchaser is not assuming, and Seller shall retain, all liability
resulting from litigation relating to Seller's operation of the Business.
